Chapter 4: Chapter 3
It had taken us an hour to decide which movie to watch.Hank wanted to watch zombie movies and i so didn't. I personally have nothing against a zombie movie, but I have nyctophobia and anything scary had the potential to keep me awake at night, imagining stuff in the dark ,even under my bed.Infact even the word 'scary' could made me start thinking about creepy things.
So after arguing for 1 hour, we decided to watch a superhero movie followed by a romcom.And Hank actually fell asleep while watching the latter.It was past 7 pm when the movie ended.
Hank was reluctant to leave my house but he had some stuff to do so he decided that it was time to go home.
I also wanted to get some stuff for my kitchen, so I asked Hank to drop me off at the supermarket.I decided that walking back from supermarket to my house was a good idea because I really needed some exercise.
I wasn't an overweight and I wasn't a size 0.
I was somewhere in between more towards the side where i was conscious of my body.And exercise was good for everyone so I decided to go for it.
After buying the stuff from my supermarket I started walking home which was about 10-15 min away from the supermarket.
I had just entered into the alley which would cut my distance by about 5 min that my phone started ringing.
"Hey Hank", I asked as i received the call.
"i reached my place.You reached yours?", He asked me.
"No, about 8minutes more", i told him.
"Ok, call me when you reach home and dont forget to come on time tomorrow"
"Yeah,yeah, don't worry, i will try my best", i replied.
After disconnecting the call, i place my phone back in my bag.
It was at that time I felt as if someone was watching me.I turned around, and looked carefully, but i couldn't see anyone.
I turned back , assuming I was imagining things.But still that creepy feeling of being watched stayed with me.
Whenever someone said that they could 'sense' people staring at them, i used to believe that they were exaggerating or pretending to be special.
But here i was walking as fast as i could, without making it seem obvious that i was running away , based on that feeling.What i felt was fear.What i didn't know was that i would soon feel terror.But today wasn't that day.
I evaluated the things in my shopping bag which i could use as a weapon.Only the glass bottle of the tomato sauce seemed like a weapon.
I dont think throwing cold drink Tin-can was going to do much more than annoy whoever i thought was watching me.
I looked around again,to confirm if i was right or not, but I didn't see anything,again.
'Ok ,3 more minutes,' I assured myself just as i exited the alley.
When my house finally came into view, i ran towards it, and opened the door with my key.I made sure i locked all the locks on the door and made sure all the windows were locked.
But i knew one thing for sure.I wasn't going to get much sleep that night.
If i had turned to check the lock of that particular window by the fridge one more time, i may have seen the figure standing there, just outside the window.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.Sometimes.
