Chapter 28

Hey, that’s my Dad. My Dad knew her too; should I ask him about her or leave it. I’m sure he will not tell me the truth. I again started reading the diary…

“Dear diary, I met that guy again. He again came to threaten me with his words. He said that if I don’t give him this bungalow he’ll put me in jail with some very serious charges from which I would not be able to come out of. But his words will not frighten me. I’m very sure that I’ll not give him my bungalow” I turned the page. In that page there was a photo of this bungalow and in the back there was an address. “431 Ridge Street, New town, PA 18940“.

The address was not of this bungalow so whose address is this? Again, I started reading the diary, with an expectation to get more clues about the address.

“Dear diary, today it was beyond my limits. John misbehaved with me. He pushed me against the wall and got right into my face; I can still feel his hot, sticky breath against my skin. It was just too much now… I have to go to the police. Tomorrow, I’ll go and lodge a complaint. I hope this problem will solve soon so that I can concentrate in my work.”

After reading one page after another, I started feeling sleepy. I looked at the clock and it was 2:00 am. It was very late so I bookmarked it and kept it in the drawer. I kept thinking about all that I read and didn’t even realize when my eyes closed. I was in my dream… I was walking somewhere. I reached the place I was searching for. When I saw the address I was shocked. It was the same address that I found on the photograph in Jennet’s diary. There was a white,two-storied bungalow with a wide patio before the entrance. I was standing across the road from the bungalow when I saw a car stop in front of the gates. A beautiful lady stepped out of the car, though I couldn’t clearly see her face. She started walking towards the bungalow and before I could see her face, she went inside. I tried to go inside, but the door was locked. I looked for a window but after searching the entire bungalow, I could not find even one. Strange that there wasn’t a single window in the entire house. Finally, I made my way to the front door and looked through the key hole. Inside, I saw a man and the lady, talking. I tried to listen but it was hard to understand what they were saying. After a while the lady disappeared. As I was looking for her, she appeared on the other side of the door and then I could feel her eyes on me through the hole. As soon as I saw her eyes I went blank. I turned around to run, but she was in front of me. 

As soon as I saw her, my eyes opened and I jumped off my bed. “JENNET?” Yes, the lady was none other than Jennet but,”What is the relation between that bungalow and Jennet?”; “Who was that guy?” I reached for the bottle of water on my nightstand but someone was already there handing it to me. I took it and thanked the person.Only after taking a sip, did I come to my senses… “Who gave it to me?”I turned back around and froze… Jennet is sitting right behind me, looking at me with a sweet smile on her lips. Her eyes were big, hair open and she was smiling at me. Without thinking twice I ran from my room. I ran out so fast that by the time I stopped for breath, I was out of the house, my hands clutching the sides of my body as I bent over gasping for breath. Then after a while, as I turned around to go back in, I saw that I was in front of the bungalow I had seen in my dreams. My legs were shaking as I pinched on my hand to see whether I was still in my dream, or if it was real. It was real… but, how could it be? I closed my eyes and screamed… When I finally opened my eyes, I saw…
