It is midnight now. But my roomie hadn't come home.
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. It is my roomie.
"Open the door! Hurry up! A strange person is stalking me!"
I am about to open the door when...
At the same time, I get a phone call. My roomie's voice comes on the phone.
"It's not me! Don't open the door! Don't open the door!"
Which one's real?
Which one is saying the truth?
"The time is ticking..." I thought.
What should I do?
"Alethea! Are you still there? No matter what happens... No matter what you hear... Don't ever EVER open that door!"
The voice on the phone shouted on the other line.
"Please... Thea... Open... Open this door! He's coming!"
The voice on the other side of the door begged as if she's about to cry.
I begin to sweat as I try to calm myself. I don't even know what to do!
"Three questions! Both of you... answer me as fast as you can!"
"What?! This is nonsense!"
They shouted in unison.
They are so much alike. I can't even differentiate the two of them.
"No more complains! Just answer me!"
The two of them went silent.
"Maya..."
"Yes!" They both answered in panic.
"Where did we first meet each other?!"
>>>>>"In the abandoned house!"
"How long we've been friends?"
>>>>>"7 years!"
This is difficult. I should ask them a difficult question. Something that only the real Maya knows...
"Who's the boy I've been looking for 7 years?!"
Silence.
My roomie sighed deeply on the other line.
>>>>>"It's Nathan... You've been looking for him since the accident 7 years ago..."
Then...the one behind the door is...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The stranger keeps banging the door without saying anything.
Then...
"Maya... You liar!"
Huh? That voice... It suddenly changed into a man's voice.
"Alethea! Don't listen to him! Stay away from that door and go back to our room!"
Maya shouted through call.
"Thea! Listen to me! Maya is a liar. She's the one who keeps on separating us! I've been looking for you as well. She told me that you don't want to see me. I pretended to be her so that I can meet you!"
