I Can Hear Your Heart

5. The Ghosts that Follow

What happened to Manager Li?

The voices immediately flocked to me. Not from one person, but many people.

My clothes are soaking wet, my appearance is aut-utan. All the hotel employees saw me show up in the police patrol car, but I had no intention of telling them anything. After thanking the police who drove me safely, I intended to go straight into the elevator that would lead me to my room under the eyes of all the hotel occupants. The elevator door was not open. So I don't want to have to wait.

Chen from the engineering and maintenance department had just had an accident while painting the room.

Whahuh? I was quite surprised by the latest news. Chen is a painstaking person and is very careful when carrying out his duties. Safety is number one in its rules of action.

I glanced at the few employees who were whispering to each other.

Police said Manager Li had an accident at the Clpamingkis waterfall.

The whispers were repeated in their minds. And I easily figured it out, like an eavesdropper.

Is our hotel being cursed? Why should everyone be prepared for trouble? If not about the question of Sarina's death, the dwindling number of hotel visitors is now a continuous accident that Chen and Manager Li have been in.

"Stop talking about curses." I went to Cindy at the reception desk, no matter how shocked she would be to hear what I said. And sure enough, he was shocked. Maybe thinking how I can figure out his mind. He's down. "It was just an accident. Not more. Work with focus." My entire subordinate's eyes at the reception were staring at me. There was anxiety in their eyes.

The fear hit me too. It's already the third week and slowly Sarina's death hits the number of guests at the hotel. Some of them are anxious if this will make hotels have to do efficiency and employee housing or move them to hotels in other cities and even other provinces.

"All will be well. This matter will be finished well. We just need to work harder."

I try to encourage them. I wish they could be really calm. Then I say goodbye to my room. Entering the open elevator and taking me to my room. It was night then.

Finished cleaning myself, still with a pajama-type bathing suit, but made of cotton that is still attached to my body, I chose a selonjoran on my bed. I knew my clothes were a little exposed, but I was alone in the room so there was no need to think too much about it. My mind went back to the events I experienced in the pine forest.

Bruuk!

I was shocked and got up from my position. Frozen sat while staring at a book on a bookshelf that could somehow float down and was now lying on the floor of the room. Obviously he was on a row of shelves, among other books that didn't even shift from his position.

Focus. I asked myself.

I don't believe in mystical things.

I don't believe in ghosts.

The wind dropped the book.

Then I realized there was no wind at all in this room, maybe a little bit of a blowing air conditioner on the wall, but it was impossible to drop a book two hundred pages thick.

Looking for a logical reason, I realized this morning I had just read the book. My return may have been a little haphazard and made the book fall. Reason that my logical sense could accept.

I crouched down to pick up the book then put it back on the bookshelf, this time more thoroughly. Then turning to my wardrobe, I grabbed a black silk nightgown from behind the closet. Opening the straps on my bathing suit and just about to pull away the bathing suit when a loud noise hit my hearing.

My heart was racing fast. My adrenaline is racing. Closing back my clothes, I turned around and imagined I would see something fall behind me again.

There's no one. I'm alone in this room. And no one fell.

But there's no one here. I saw no sign of another human being in my room.

"Don't change clothes here."

I flinched, turning around me looking for a sound source that looked more like a strong wind that managed to make my hair bristling. I don't see anybody here.

There's a ghost here.

Is Sarina now a ghost and scaring me?

What is my fault with him?

Okay, maybe I believe a little bit that astral being is in this world because he's bothering me now. But I refuse to be intimidated by the creature let alone by Sarina. What am I wrong with him so he bothers me now? I've warned him not to approach the pervert.

"I'm not Sarina your friend."

Wow, I'm surprised it's amazing to get the answer. Probably as surprised as Cindy felt when I answered her head. This creature reads my head while I, let alone read its contents, see its existence I cannot.

Then I changed my mind. Not that I want to see his whereabouts. What if the creature is like the one in the profile in the horror movies? Bad face look. Sharp teeth with blood and wounds all over the body.

******.

Anjirr.

I don't want to meet such a creature.

"Get out of my room! Whoever you are! Get out of my room!" I used all my courage to drive the creature away.

"You can't kick me out!" He groans furiously.

Brakkkk

Clontang!

Bruuk!

He threw all the stuff on the bookshelf hoping I was scared and maybe shut my mouth and ran away.

"I'm not afraid of you! This is my room and now you need to get out of my room!" I refuse his intimidation.

In response to my anger, the lights died instantly, the darkness enveloped me completely. Then something attacked me quickly as if it hit me. My chest is painful and painful. My breath was tight and my body was pushed onto the bed. As I was about to get up, something heavy seemed to be crushing on me.

He groaned, angry in front of my face. His voice sent out a terrifying vibration.

"Per.."

I can't finish my words. Mind confused. The darkness has completely enveloped me now.
