Novel & Cerita I Saw A Man Who Wasn't There

he said. “W-wait something's weird is happening,” I said as I closed my eyes. I can see myself sitting down and the guy in front of me. I tried to look at my arms but it was only pitch black. I don't have my freaking hands! This is freaking confusing because the me that I was seeing distance away from me was the one who was looking into his arms. Like I was a damn ghost watching my body move on its own. "Am I a ghost?" I asked the man and he shook his head as a no.

It felt so big that I swallowed hard. His eyes traced my gaze, and when he saw where it was focused, he smirked and winked at me seductively. I was taken aback. Did he just wink at me? I screamed, my heart beating with so much joy. I didn’t know when I stepped down from the bed, but I found myself standing and looking out of my window. Surprisingly, the dude wasn’t there anymore. I looked and searched around just to catch a glimpse of him again, but there was no one there. It was as if he just disappeared into the cool breeze of the night. It felt like he was never there in the first place.

"No! I'm sure with what I saw! It was impossible for that person to just disappear in just a blink of an eye because I immediately went out of our house to see it then I... I saw him! I don't know why he was there but I'm fucking sure it was him! He left a lot of footprints!" "Yula, please. Listen, it was not him, okay? Calm down. Let's talk about this when you're–" "No! I can't calm down! If it not was you, then who could the fuck it be?!" The man stared at me for a long time before he blew a sigh. He looked away before answering. "I don't know... but it was not me..." he whispered under his breath. But his voice made me even more skeptical about him... as though he was trying to avoid som

I held my head and saw him looking at me strangely. "Are you alright? I've been calling you and you just buffered." Fūck. What was that? What was that weird memory? Or was it an imagination? There is no way something like that happened to me. "I'm sorry, I just... I just remembered something." I looked back at where the man was but my heart fell when I didn't see him. In my haste to prove it wasn't an imagination, I ran to where I saw him but he was nowhere to be found.

He rushed towards me and asked, “What’s the problem?” I pointed outside the window and he said, “There’s nothing there” I turned around and the man I saw has suddenly vanished. I couldn't believe it. There was surely someone there. I knew I wasn't dreaming.

Aiden rushed over immediately. "Yes… I am fine," I said quickly, though my heart was racing. "I just got distracted." "By what?" "That man over there," I said, pointing. "He has been watching us." Aiden turned. I followed his gaze. But the man was gone. Like he had never been there. A chill ran down my spine. "Maybe I am imagining it," I said, forcing a smile. "Maybe it is just my mind playing tricks on me. Can we go back to having fun?"

“What?’’ His voice grew serious. I pull back my phone to mirror the scene behind me again, the tree where the masked man had stopped. But to my greatest shock, it was clear. He disappeared. “No. No–no–no…’’ I panicked, turning around to check for myself. He was truly gone. Lost into thin air like he was never really there. “He.. disappeared.’’ I whispered to Danny, swallowing hard as my heart thudded beneath my chest. “What? Are you sure anyone was really there?’’ Danny doubted. I couldn't even blame him, anybody would ask the same question too. “I saw him. He was right behind me up until a few seconds ago.’’ I tried to explain, desperately scanning the whole area for anybody in black. “Hey,

Maybe I should be grateful I didn’t wake up gasping for air, reaching for someone who was no longer there. Instead, I woke up to an emptiness so heavy it pressed against my ribs. The moment I opened my eyes, my mind went back to yesterday at the park. To the way my world had tilted when I saw that man’s back. The broad shoulders. The confident stance. The slight turn of his head. Everything about him had screamed Cross. But then he was gone. Like a ghost. Like a cruel joke. Maybe I really was losing my mind. I pulled the sheets over my face, trying to suffocate the nagging voice that whispered, “what if it was really him?’

“It’s fine, it’s probably just a curious passerby, that’s all. No one is there now.” I only just got back my shift and wanted to get into bed, so maybe I’m tired and making a mountain out of a molehill. I could have just caught sight of someone at the wrong moment, and made up a whole scenario in my head. I don’t want to freak myself out over nothing. So, with careful, tip-toeing steps, I edge my way back to the window and peer out again. Ack, someone is still here! Only now, I force myself to start and really look at him. I am seeing things I didn’t notice before. Such as the fact that I know this man,but my brain refuses to believe it was him.

I approached one of the guards standing not far from me. "Did you see someone there? He was standing under that light, where did he go?" I asked him. The guard looked uncertain, "I didn't see anyone there, Miss." Saga came over to me, "What's wrong, Miss?" "I saw a man standing there, Saga. But now he's gone. Can you check the CCTV camera that faces that area?" I was very curious. After all, that man had disturbed me. He felt familiar, and I wanted to check whether my vision was real or not.
