She can’t help but to be happy and to feel confuse at the same time. She’s happy because the flash backs on her memories were really real, those statements she heard were same as hers, she feels that everything is getting clearer in her way. She’s confused because she had heard this voice while she’s travelling to face JL and while she’s convincing JL to talk to the people who witness the accident. She felt dizziness and fell out of balance when the voice and some flashes back came to her mind. Her silent life being an apparition were suddenly interrupted by the voice who’s talking to her that makes her more out of her energy. She vividly sees every scene that the voice says while she feels the emotion through the sound of what she heard. It makes her wonder and makes her more curious about it.
The face are blurred but she knew that the girl on her mind was her and she’s with a man who’s tall than her. They were having fun, which she can see herself laughing. She can’t hear the man’s voice, all she can hear is the voice that kept on talking. It seems that the voice talking to her narrates the scenes on her mind while she was watching herself as if she was just dreaming.
“Why does there’s a flash back on my mind which I just heard from someone’s voice that I don’t remember?” she asked herself.
She came back unto her senses when she felt and noticed someone follows her. It was JL and the man they followed, both of them were still arguing things that she don’t understand. They were following her lead.
While JL was talking to the man they followed, she was looking the places to remember where would they going after JL talked to the man they followed. She noticed that the two men were arguing something she doesn’t understand why. She understand why does the man they followed is a bit mad, JL didn’t asked him earlier just because he doesn’t know how to approach him. It wasn’t her concern, she just want to know and assure if the things she saw before she left the crime scene were all right. She doesn’t want to jump into a conclusion that is why she needs the help of JL to discover the things she wanted to assure of herself.
She came back to her senses once again when she noticed that the man they followed saw a familiar place. She saw him instruct JL to where he will go and what jeepney JL would be going to ride.
“Do you remember me, Grace?” the voice she hears ask her that suddenly made her black-out. She heard the sadness unto his voice. “I’m really sorry if I didn’t send all the letters I wrote for you. I just really want to say it personally, what I really feel for you.” She heard but this time it seems the person who was talking to her is crying. “Please, wake-up already.” She heard him say. She felt dizzy again and the next thing she knew she was watching herself once again.
She’s standing at the airport and waving her hand with a smile on her face unto a man looking at her. She can’t see the face of the person, she can’t say what was the person’s facial expression but she can sensed that the man who was looking at her had a sad expression on his eyes and turn his back.
“If only I didn’t pursue my dreams at Harvard University and I just study here. You won’t encounter that accident.” She heard him made a deep sigh. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to stress you out. I’ll be back and check on you later. I’ll just eat my lunch then check some files. I hope that you will wake up soon.” She heard him say.
“Are you okay?” JL asked her with a worried expression.
She just nod, she doesn’t want to make JL catch too much attention. She looked around then she realized that JL is sitting beside her while he’s holding his cellular phone through his ear as if he had someone whom he was talking to.
He smiled at her. “Now, I can talk to you.” he said. “Are you really alright?” he asked.
“Yes, thank you.” she said with a smile on her lips.
They went back at her university, when they were about to go home. She saw a familiar face, she pulled JL’s shirt to get his attention and point the person she saw. She confirmed that the person she saw was at the gate that was behind her before the accident and she was very sure that she saw him stocked on where he stood-up.
“Excuse me.” said JL unto the young man.
She was stunned when she saw the uniform of the young man’s wearing, he’s a professor at the university, although she can’t clearly say what department but she’s sure of what she saw. The young professor met her who made her stunned yet she can’t deny the fact the he’s ignoring that their eyes met.
“Yes?” she heard him that he asked JL but he can’t help looking at her.
“Uh, well… I’m just going to asked you about the–”
“I don’t have any time about what you’re going to ask, I’ll be going, I don’t want to be late at my appointment. I’m a very busy person so if I were you ask someone else.” he said then left.
“You haven’t yet heard what I’m going to ask you…” JL murmured.
“It’s okay.” she said with assurance.
They got home late, that’s why JL fell asleep. When she was sure that JL was asleep, she left the house. She can sense that there’s a hidden message unto his eyes. She can’t help but to look at places they were taking while they were going home and he saw him at a convenient store, looking straight to her eyes. She went back there and she saw him, when their eyes met once again he stood-up and went outside of the store as if he was telling her to follow him. Without having a conversation, they communicate using the eyes. She saw him went inside a car, she was hesitant but she have to take the risk so, she went inside the car and sat quietly.
He parked the car. He looked at her with a boring look and left the car. She followed him; she doesn’t have any choice but to follow him. She didn’t go inside of the house, she wants to get an invitation of coming in. She saw him sat down on a couch looking straight at her. He crossed his legs and smirked.
“Come in.” he finally broke the silence between them.
She looked around and she saw the time, it’s already one in the midnight. She was shocked when she felt someone behind her and it was too late for her to run. She let her guard down. She felt he was looking at her. She felt the tight hands holding her wrist were loosening then she heard him laughed.
“I’m just teasing you. Relax. You were nervously looking at the place. There’s only one person leaving here and that’s me.” he said then he helped her stand.
“Have a sit.” he said then sat down on the floor loosening his necktie. “Relax, I won’t take an advantage of a… Wait, are you already a ghost or it’s just your astral body who’s wondering around here?” he asked.
“I don’t know, all I know I’m not yet a ghost.” she shortly answered.
He nod then smirk again. “I see… I can’t believe that will be meeting once again, Grace in this kind of scenario.” he said then lay down on the floor. “The last time I saw you was when you were just third year high school.” he said then sat down again.
“I’m sorry but I don’t remember that we met.” she said.
“Oh… Nothing.” he said then stood-up. “Do you want something to drink?” he asked.
“No, thanks.” she replied.
“Okay. Wait, I’ll just take a shower. If you sniffed me earlier about my surprise attack I’m a bit smelly, right?” he said then he went upstairs. He sighs. “If he knew what I have done, he will surely kill me.” he murmured.
She looked around the whole place; she can say that he’s an organize man which made her smile. She didn’t even saw any flaw that she could say.
“Do you like this place?” he asked which made her jumped into shocked.
She looked at him, she saw him leaning at the staircase. He was looking at her with amusement on his eyes. “I have to ask you abou—”
“I know. Well, if I were you… I won’t let that guy involved in this kind of situation but since he’s into it, all I have to do is to be more watchful.” he said then went downstairs. “Please sit down.” he offered. “I can’t tell you what I saw, just be careful for the suspect is near. This is all I could do for now.” he said with serious looking in the eyes.
“Why can’t you tell me?” she asks.
“Well, because my job isn’t being a witness here. It’s already three in the morning, I’ll ride you home.” he said.
