The first pain Sunni could experience the next morning was a severe headache. She was woken up from the hard floor where she had laid by this pain.
Reluctantly she opened her eyes looking around as she let out a exhausted groan and then got to her feet.
She looked around confused as she rubbed her head bearing a headache. Accompanied by this was a stomach upset that sent Sunni to the toilet where she had spent a minute or two vomiting.
Then with her head on her head she came out to the sitting room to meet Hana waking up from the couch. Hana sat on the couch half sleepy, looking up at Sunni.
"How did we get here? what happened?" Hana asked. But Sunni was equally clueless.
"How am I suppose to know. I too got drunk" She explained.
"How could you also get drunk? You know we were only two and now......You got drunk too....how did we get back?"
"I too had problems to get drunk to" Sunni defended "Besides....my head really hurts" She left to grab some medicine.
Hana was still thinking about this fact as Sunni came back drinking medicine.
"You still have time for medicine? We have to at least know who brought us back. Aren't you worried?"
Sunni sighed" I am. but my health is more important"
"You....I can't put up with you" She looked at her wrist watch" Gosh.... it's already 9! I have to get to work, my off permission deadline ends today" She quickly got up and rushed to the bed room to get ready.
Sunni had taken the medicine as she lazily lay on the couch closing her eyes again. She didn't have work anymore and Lucas was gone ..So she precisely have nothing to worry about. Lying down seemed to be a good option to calm her head for a while.
She had obviously over slept and woken again by 12:23pm. She wasn't bothered though. Hana seemed to have gone and checking her phone, she saw a message from her about 30 minutes ago.
It read. ~ Wake up sleepy head! I guess you're still unemployed. Well as generous as I am, I've left you some money on the table in the room got you to have a nice meal with but it comes with a condition. Go back to that bar and find out who brought us back! okey?! ~
Sunni rolled her eyes. She had brought her money so she had no choice but to accept.
***********
The day had long gotten busy with people flooding the Street and vehicles dominating the roads.
The woman was still in room. Like others ,she had woken up on this fine morning as she got down the stairs.
She headed into the sitting room and then the kitchen where she open the refrigerator. She got out a can of milk and took it to the dinning table as she sat down and poured herself a cup of fine milk to suit the morning.
She had taken a sip from the glass when she suddenly heard a sound from behind.
Frightened. She quickly looked back to saw nothing. The stairs leading upstairs was empty as always. There was not suppose to be any sound because she lived alone. It was a part of her already.
The woman left the conclusion to her imagination but deep down she didn't trust her conclusion. This wasn't a thing of today. This had actually started two days back after she had seen what she wasn't suppose to see!
She had began having the feeling that she was followed. That she was being haunted and even her house was haunted.
She poured herself another glass as she drank it up again. She needed something to eat this with so baking up a pancake was the best choice. She slowly got up and headed to the kitchen where she suddenly came to an abrupt stop of fight after seeing blood stain on the floor.
Her leg weakened in fright as the lady drew back in fright. This wasn't a normal thing to see everyday, this was horror and she couldn't help but know what was behind all these!
Slowly, she bent down hugging her legs as she buried her head in-between her legs. "Let me go....let me go ..... please..." She pleaded... But this lady wasn't ready to delete the money making videos she had tapped in her phone....
*********
Sunni arrived at the bar as she stopped, looking up at the sign. She hesitated for a while before entering.
The bar was not full, only few people were in which was understandable because nights was when they came more.
Not wanting to think about this fact, she headed to the bar tender.
"Well excuse....I came with a question"
"Oh...what's it?"
"Yesterday I and my friend were here ...drunk. But someone took us home....I wanted to know who it was..."
"Well I wasn't on duty here yesterday...I'll call the person who was here till closing. Hey! Azhen!" He called out to a waiter who approached them.
"She wanted to know who took her and her friend home yesterday when they were drunk"
Azhen looked at her and recalled. He was actually the waiter who had asked the drunk girls to leave.
"Oh! yes! I was the one who asked a man to take you back....You said he was a scumbag or something that stole your first kiss so I wondered you two were close so I asked him to take you two back"
Sunni stiffened. What had she actually done and said yesterday?? What stranger did she tell all these and who knew the worse she did??
"Oh...I see Did he take us home?".
"Well yeah. He put you two in a taxi and followed you back"
Sunni stiffened again. What??
"Oh...well ...Can I see this man's face I mean... through a CCTV recording in this bar"
"Oh well...We have those"
The man led Sunni to the recording and showed her the scene where she was drunk and spoke to the man. She was totally embarrassed but asked to zoom in on the man's face anyways. She took a look at him for while, she obviously didn't know him as she took a picture of him.
"Well thanks for that. I'll be off" She said leaving the bar.
Sunni was out as she texted Hana ~ i've gotten information on the man~
She replied in awhile ~Really? then come over to the restaurant next to my work place. I'm on break!~
Sunni left and later arrived at the restaurant. She met with Hana as they sat opposite each other. Hana had already ordered the meal.
"So speak up. who's it?"
"Luckily we don't know him. Here's a picture I took from the CCTV footage" She gave her her phone as Hana looked at the photo. "And he also took us home....and precisely to our apartment room...."
"Aish.... enough. You didn't even get information like where he lives or what he does.... You're no good detective" Hana gave her her phone as she ate
"Don't judge me. Besides I tried my best by getting his image. Now you'll know him when you see him"
"Whatever" Hana enjoyed her meal.
Sunni also ate as the thought of Lucas flashed her mind. Their first meal of terror seemed to have put a smile on her face and recalling how he acted ignorant of human nature made her smile. She kinda found it cute now.
"Why are you smiling?" Hana asked.
"Me? nothing... Nothing" Sunni covered. After a while, she felt the urge to ask Hana something. "Well...I have a story for you?"
Hana looked up at her. "What's it?"
