I opened my eyes and immediately got up. I looked around my entire surroundings, where I noticed that there was no one else inside the bus except me. No matter where I look, I don't see anyone around me. Until I stopped when I heard footsteps of shoes that seemed to be heading towards my location. I turned behind me where I noticed a man wearing a black cloak. I watched him carefully while his head was down, and then he stopped in front of me. Furthermore, I looked at him from head to toe with a look of wonder on my face. All of this is familiar to me and seems like I've seen it before. Until I realized that it was all just my dream. Every time the man in the black cloak appeared in front of me I was certain that I was only dreaming, and it seemed that at this moment I was still not conscious. But what is he doing here, and why did he appear to me again? I'm nervous and restless because every time he appears in my dreams, something bad will be happening in my real world. Until he slowl
“Don't kill us. Please have a mercy to us.” The female student told me that she was crying, so I turned my attention to her. I was about to step closer to her to calm her down, but I was immediately stunned when one of them jumped from the window. Because of that, my eyes widened in shock, and they were even more confused as to how they could get away from me. “P-please, listen to me first.” I stammered to them but none of them wanted to listen to me or at least believe me, but they almost sacrificed their lives just to get away from me. The boy was about to approach me, but the people there immediately stopped him and hid him behind them. “Just hurt me, don't hurt the children.” The old man said to me with a frown that made them all angrier at me. At that moment, I didn't know what to do, and I looked like a statue just standing there not moving where I was. I couldn't take a step anymore because my feet seemed to be buried there, and I kept hearing from them bad words that I don't
“Stop this bus right now. Please, we still want to back to our families alive.” The student pleads with the driver, but he doesn't seem to hear her. So, a man dared to approach him while I sat dumbfounded where I was. When the man suddenly screamed and sat down on the floor, he hurriedly ran away from him and unexpectedly jumped from outside. Because of that, we all turned our attention to him and I stood up with a look of astonishment on my face. “What's going on? Why did he suddenly jump?” the people there were curious, and I slowly approached the driver to find out what was going on there and why the man reacted like that when he saw him. I was struggling to find my balance, so I didn't get close to him right away. One step at a time as I grabbed every empty seat there. I stopped for a moment and looked behind me where they were all looking at me and waiting. I turned to look at the man again, and then I peeked at him, but before I could see his appearance, suddenly his head fell o
“It cannot be.” I whispered to myself as I looked behind me to see where the people were. I immediately ran towards them to protect them, but it was too late because the bus crashed into it quickly and fell into the bottom of the river. All the noises that I was hearing all around me suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't hear anything but what they were saying with their eyes in which they were asking for help. With the speed of the incident, I lost consciousness and I did not realize what happened next. Only later did I regain consciousness, where I found myself floating underwater. I looked all around me where I noticed the sunken bus there and around me there were people who were no longer alive. I was stunned, and my mind went blank with what I was seeing. Furthermore, I tried to approach them one by one and wake them up, but almost half of them died while the others were stored inside the bus and never got out of there. I'm confused, and I don't know what to do, how can I save them
She slowly walked closer to me and stopped in front of me. We looked at each other at the same time she drew a smile on the side of her lips at the same time she pulled me by my collar, at the same time brought me closer to her face. “I don't want your eyes on me. So don't waste your life just for a small reason.” She whispered, but I didn't feel any fear from her, instead I just winced and laughed that was surprised her. “What's so funny about what I said? Do you really want to die?” She added while I was staring at her beautiful sky-blue eyes. “I like the look in your eyes. Don't you know how beautiful your eyes are?” When I said that, she seemed curious and couldn't speak immediately. “Why? Hasn't anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are? It's a shame they're not as beautiful as what your personality is.” I added making her frown. “Are you playing with me?” She said while raising an eyebrow. I smiled at her and then shook my head. “It's not my job to play with anyone, es
“I have never seen you before. Did I? Don't you remember who I am?” I said to her, at the same time she shook her head in curiosity. “You said that many lives have passed through your hands. So, it's possible that the two of us have met in prison, right? Therefore, have you seen me before or have we met before?” I added that she was obviously shocked, especially when she realized I was an ex-convict. Because of that, she seemed to feel fear and I noticed that her hands were shaking. It appears that she is just lying to me about what she told me earlier, and it appears that she is just making up a story to make me afraid of her. But since I caught her, she seems to be struggling to hide her true identity. “Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Or maybe you've never been caught before?” After I said that, she seemed to have come up with a new idea, so she boldly looked up at me again and pointed the sharp weapon she was holding at me. “Nobody has caught me yet
I got up and sat down while I was still stunned that I still couldn't believe the speed of events. I looked up at the sky for a moment when I heard the passing of a helicopter, and suddenly, it occurred to me that if I hadn't let them board our bus that day, there was hope that the people on that helicopter could have rescued them and there was a chance they are all still alive today and reached their destination. While my mind was wandering, I turned my gaze to the woman next to me who had just gotten up. It seems that she got a wound from her forehead, and she feels pain from there. For a few moments, she looked around our entire surroundings where she realized what happened there and that there was no one else there except for the two of us. She slowly turned to me with a trace of curiosity on her face, and even though she didn't say a word to me, I seemed to be able to read what her mind was saying. She must be confused by what she sees and what is happening. Perhaps many questions
“What do you think you're doing?” She asked me with a frown, but I didn't respond to her, instead I waited for her to come up behind me. But after a few moments, she hug me from behind and held tightly to my shoulder while I slowly stood up and walked away from there. All around us was silent as we felt the cold breeze hitting at our bodies. I almost didn't realize how far I had walked or how far we had come. I didn't even notice that the clothes we were wearing had dried, and I didn't realize that she had fallen asleep behind me, and I only realized it when her head fell on my shoulder. Furthermore, I stopped walking for a moment and looked at her as I heard her heavy breathing. In those moments, the only solution to forget everything that happened to us is to rest and sleep. Everything seemed heavy and difficult for her, so she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep on my shoulder, and it seems like that was the only way she could think of instead of focusing on the bad things th
