Chapter 2

I spread my gaze, I looked for the figure of the man I saw at the traffic light earlier. But nothing. I did not find him in the room. Mom and Dad introduced me to the owner of the house, Mr. Alfonso.

"Good night, sir. Congratulations on your selection as the company's representative for this big project," said Dad to Mr. Alfonso.

“Thanks, David. Who is this cute girl?" asked Mr. Alfonso, when he saw me standing in the middle of Mom and Dad.

"She is my daughter, her name is Meghan," replied my father.

I reached out my hand to shake his hand. He accepted it gently.

"Beautiful girl," he told me. Makes me blush a little. It looks like blush has lodged on my cheeks.

Mom and Dad said permission to Mr. Alfonso.

"Thank you for the invitation. We are very happy to be able to participate in this event, we will excuse you for a moment, "said Dad.

Mom and Dad had already gone to see his coworkers. I didn't go with them on purpose. Because I still want to find that man. That man with a really creepy cynical gaze. When I was circulating my gaze. A boy comes up to me. I think his age is not much different from mine. The boy is tall, taller than me. Her skin was also white, and her gaze was sharp. Every now and then I turn in another direction, to avoid the look in his eyes on me.

"Are you Meghan?" he asked me.

"Yes, how do you know my name?" I answered.

"I am Mr. Alfonso's son. My name is Ferdinand, "he said.

I'm just silent. I feel uncomfortable with his gaze at me.

"Do you recognize me?" Ferdinand asked me.

"No, this is the first time I met you. How did I know you before this? " I deliberately reversed the question to me.

"Ah, it looks like you forgot the meeting," he replied.

“I will stop by again sometime. With a clearer form than before, "he said.

Then he just left me. I got goosebumps when he said that to me. I became curious about what he said. I tried to remember whether we had met before. But, the more I tried, the my head ached. I stood up from my seat. I took an iced orange juice and drank it all at once.

"Are you alright?" asked someone behind me. I turned my head. I was surprised to see him. Almost glass fell from my hand. He is that man. The man in the car earlier. The man who gave me a snide look.

"Who are you?" I asked. I started trembling as she walked closer to me.

"You don't recognize me?" he asked in return. I do not understand all of this. Why are the people at this party talking strangely to me? Earlier, Ferdinand was the same. He spoke as if he had met me. Now, there is a creepy guy who says the same thing. What's the matter?

"I do not know you!" I answered.

“Maybe later, you will realize everything. Before that, you have to prepare yourself. Don't let your parents lock your strength,” he told me. Before finally he just left. He left me with all the questions on my mind.

"Sir, wait a minute," I called. But he didn't turn around. He really left me in this confusion. What power did he mean? And what should I prepare?

I just took a cake from the row of cakes on the table. But Dad looks so worried. He grabbed my hand suddenly.

"What's the matter, dad?" I asked. I don't understand this situation.

"Nothing, you get into the car immediately. Quickly bring her in!" My Dad ordered My Mom to take me into the car. I turned to him. I saw him talking with Mr. Alfonso. But this time, the conversation looked like it was fighting. I looked at my mom. She just smiled.

“Nothing, let's get in the car. Let's wait for Dad in the car. Okay?" she told me.

"Yes, Mom," I replied.

I saw my father walking hastily. He got into the car immediately. The anxiety was still on his face.

"Is everything all right, dad?" I asked him. I am very worried about this situation.

"We will discuss it at home. Okay, dear?" he told me.

I nodded in agreement. I thought, does this have anything to do with dreams, Ferdinand, and that freak?

***

We arrived home. Daddy and Mommy immediately ordered me to come in. I walked towards the house. But I still turned my head towards them. I saw they were arguing about something. I'm standing by the window. Trying to sharpen my hearing.

"I did not expect, the time is getting closer," said my Dad. He rubbed his face roughly.

"Calm down dear, we can protect Meghan together," answered my Mom.

Then I realized something. Why I can hear their conversation from this far distance? I pinched my own arm. Oh it is sick. I'm confirming whether this is a dream or not.

I saw that they were about to enter the house. I immediately sat in the living room Pretend I've been waiting for them since earlier.

"Are you alright?" asked my father.

"Yes," I replied.

"What's going on daddy? Why do you look so worried? What were you arguing with Mr. Alfonso over there?" I asked. I can not hold back my curiosity.

"Father will answer your every question. But, you have to answer dad's question first. Okay?" he said.

"Okay," I replied.

"Are there any strange things you've been going through lately?" asked him.

I thought hard, what he meant strange.

“I don't know, this is strange or not. But I had a dream, I see someone with blue eyes, a few days ago, "I replied.

"Did he say something?"

"How do you know? If he compresses something to me?" I asked.

"Say, what he said to you!" he insisted. He started to look worried again. I saw mother patting her shoulder. Apparently, she was trying to calm Dad down.

"He said, that the moment would come soon," I replied.

"When? When did you dream about that?" asked Dad. He was really anxious. His face was turning pale.

"A few days ago. If I'm not mistaken, four days ago. Before finally someone came and gave me a letter," I replied.

"Letter? Can you explain, what are the characteristics of that person?" Dad asked me.

I thought for a moment. Trying to remember the person from top to bottom.

“He's wearing a brown leather jacket, black pants, and a shirt, but I can't see his face. He's wearing a hat,” I explained to my father.

Father and Mother seemed so worried. I don't know, what they are afraid of. Is there anything I still don't know about them?
