Chapter 17

  Before now, even if she missed her, she knew she's just at work and would come back in the next few hours but now there was no coming back.   She's gone!   Hmm,she sighed. Just then she remembered that she didn't lock the door and the windows, she immediately rushed to, panic seizing her chest. The incident of last night became a terror she couldn't just forget. Upon realizing that locking the windows will make the room hot, she had to.   Oh God! Look how I'm already sweating. Maybe I need to meet with the landlady to give a rule not to let any stranger come in without calling the person he's here to see and getting permission.She thought of this. Few steps to the door to lock it, she heard a knock.   She froze.   All her mind thought was that it could be the person that knocked at her window last night that had come back. Her legs began to shake. At this moment, she wanted to reach out to the door and lock right away but the tension overwhelming her body wouldn't just let her move.
