1091 Words
27th June 1995, My sleep got disturbed, when I heard someone banging on my door.  "Let me sleep," I yelled and covered my face with the blanket. "Sophie, it's twelve noon, get up you lazy ass," Amber said banging the door. I sat on the bed yawning and stretching my arms. I got down from the bed and unbolted the door. "Good afternoon, lazy ass, freshen up and come down for breakfast," Amber said and I nodded yawning.  I took a fresh pair of clothes from my bag and went to freshen up. I stood in the shower and the hot running water relaxed my body. I took the soap and started rinsing my body when I heard someone knocking the door of the bathroom. "Amber, gimme ten minutes, I'll join you guys soon," I replied and continued bathing. Someone again knocked on the door. "Amber, can't you let me take a bath peacefully?" I told angrily but she continued knocking on the door.  I quickly took a bath, wore a bath-robe and opened the door. "Amber what the hell------", I yelled angrily opening the door but there was no one outside. "This girl, she keeps on playing stupid pranks on me," I muttered angrily. I quickly wore jeans and a blacktop. I combed my hair and went downstairs to the living room, where I found everyone chit-chatting. "Amber, I'm going to kill you, you disturbed me when I was taking my bath. You know, I hate people who disturb me when I am bathing or sleeping," I told angrily. "When did I disturb you?" Amber asked. "Oh, please stop acting innocent," I told and sat beside her. "I am an innocent babe," Amber told dramatically and I hit her playfully. "I am hungry, is there something to eat?" I asked. "No, we have to go to some hotel, even I am hungry," Xavier said. "I am feeling sleepy. Andrew you ruined our sleep man !" Terence said yawning. "Thanks for reminding Terence, I forgot to talk to him on this matter. Andrew man, you better stop consuming alcohol, you utter nonsense when you are under the effect of booze," Abram said. "Guys trust me I saw that small girl with my own eyes," Andrew replied. "So where did she disappear when we went to the room?" Xavier asked. "I don't know. I'll tell you everything in detail what happened," Andrew said. "Please go ahead," Amber said. "See I was having a severe headache so I went to take rest in the room. My sleep got disturbed at three in the night, when I heard someone giggling. I thought I was just hallucinating, so I shut my eyes again and went to sleep. But again, I heard someone, giggling. The sound was coming from under the bed so I bent down to see what was there under the bed," Andrew said. "So brother, what did you see?" Xavier asked sarcastically. "Xavier man, I saw that small girl under the bed with a doll in her hand. I couldn't see her face as it was covered with her hair. And you know, she said she would kill all of us and take revenge," Andrew said and we all burst out laughing. "Andrew, you're story is just fab, man. You can compose a horror film," Terence said laughing. "Terence man, I am not cooking up a*********s," Andrew said. "So you should better stop consuming alcohol," I replied laughing. "Guys, I'm hungry," Amber cried. "Let's go to a hotel and have lunch," Abram suggested. "Ya, that's a pretty good idea," Terence said. We all went towards the door and no sooner did we open it we found the caretaker standing at the door with tiffins in his hand. "Man, I got scared," Terence said.  "Food," The old man said forwarding the tiffins. "Thank you so much Sir--- we were about to go to a restaurant as we were hungry," Terence said but that old man didn't reply and turned behind to leave. "Excuse me, sir, can we stay here for a few days?" I asked, calling him out. He replied a yes, without turning behind and went to his cottage. "He is so weird and creepy," Andrew said. "So are you," Abram said and we all burst out laughing.  "Guys, how did he know that we were hungry and were going to a restaurant. The moment we were about to leave he brought the tiffins, as if he is trying to stop us from leaving this villa," Walton said. "Oh Einstien, stop using your brain, I am hungry man,"  Amber said. "So am I," Amanda whined like a kid. "Walton go and get plates from the kitchen," Amber said. "Excuse me, why will I get plates from the kitchen, God has also given you hands and legs," Walton said. "So, he has also given you hands and legs, better make use of it," Amber said. "Guys, relax. I'll get it," I replied and went to the kitchen. I washed a few plates and spoons with water and was about to head back to the living room when I bumped into Walton. He held me by my waist. "Are you okay?" He asked with great concern. "Ya, I am fine," I replied and was about to leave from there when he held me by my waist, and pulled me closer to him. "What are you doing, Walton," I asked angrily. "Why are you avoiding me, Sophie? You know, I love you so much, baby," He told holding my waist tightly. "But I don't love you, now leave me," I told him angrily. "Why don't you love me back?" He asked gripping my waist more tightly. "Because I love Ryan, now leave me you rascal," I told angrily. "Ryan is dead, man," He said and I was shocked listening to him. "Could you please repeat, what did you just say?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "I just meant to say that it's been ten years, there is no news about him, even the caretaker said that the entire Machado family had disappeared, there might be a possibility that he's dead," Walton said.  "Shut the f**k up, if you can't say anything good about him you better not talk bad about him. And I love Ryan and shall love him till my last breath, get this thing in your pea-sized head," I told angrily and pushed him with all my might. "Sophie---listen to me-----," Walton tried to speak but I left from there angrily.
