Chapter 1 - Blackout

Though i am walking down a path beside the express road, there isn't any cars. It is past 4am and i am on my way home. Why am i walking home? I ask myself in my head. "That is because i am penniless", replied myself loudly.

I have a really bad habit to sing along to my mp3 song while walking alone. No, I am not afraid of the dark and yes I like the dark. It gives me a calm and peaceful feeling. Thinking about it, it is quite dangerous for a 17 year old girl to walk home at night I guess. Well, its not that I want to stay out late. Thanks to my job, I have stay awake during the night.

My job has been keeping me so busy for the past 3 months that I realised I haven't had the time to give a thought about Haji. oh? Haji. He is a guy that keeps on appearing in dreams. It is as if he is real. He has sliver hair with deep dark red eye balls and beautiful features. Each time I thought he was real and reach out my hand to touch him, he disappear. It was a dream will be the next thing i knew.

Down the express road, I heard a loud dumping sound. The first thought that comes to my mind is someone dropping out from the sky. "Yeah! Impossible!," telling myself. "this is reality". Curious about the dumping sound, I raced towards its direction.

I cannot believe what am I seeing. I saw a body on the middle of the roads. There are cracks on the roads as though the body had fallen from the sky. Okay! First thing first, check if the body...errr.. person is alive, whispered my mind. Cautiously, I walked to the body and what should I do? I bend down and nudge him slightly but there is no response. Now I am scared. That is because I think he is death. "What should I do? what should I do?" my head is in a mess.
"Damnit! Why is a body here in the middle of the road, there is no trees and tall building around?"
"Damn you! Why did you died here? C'mon! You should choose a better place!" I shouted with frustrations at the body!

Out of a sudden, Haji's image popped into my head and I noticed that the body has the same hair colour as his. That can't be Haji I thought and started moving towards the body again. This time each step I take seems to drain more strength than before. Finally I came to the side of the body, I can hear my heartbeat going faster than normal. "COURAGE!", I said loudly before bending down. My hands are shaking hard and in a swiftly swing, I turned the body.

It was.. It was Haji. I dropped to my knees and stood frozen. Impossible. Impossible. IMPOSSIBLE! I tried to move but I can't. Like a spell has been cast on me. I am freaking out. This guy has always been in my dreams and now..now this is becoming reality? And he is dead! "cii" I turned my head and as i heard his hand moved! Now! This is creepy. I screened through his hands, legs, body, mouth, nose and eyes lids.

Nothing unusual except those eyes lids. I fix my eyes on the eyes lid. Suddenly, It open with deep red eye balls starring at me. It scared me! I placed my hands on my mouth to prevent any sound from escaping. I want to stand up and run but I'm froze. My legs won't move. I hope I can run. I want to run. Like blowing candles, my vision blackout to darkness.
