CHAPTER 24—A Person Outside The Window

CHAPTER 24—A Person Outside The Window

Rain' Point of View

I was nervous because of Ali's voice on the other line. I tried to call him again but his phone was switched off. I am wondering. I want to go down to see him but I'm afraid.

I climbed on top of the bed. I tried calling Ali's number again but still the same. I'm really nervous and restless.

I took a cardigan and put it on. I left the room with the cell phone. I slowly came down from the living room and went to the kitchen. I will look for Ali there first. It's a bit dark throughout the living room going to the kitchen because only the lights on the wall are on and it's not that bright. I even noticed the plate I used earlier in the sink.

When I still didn't see Ali, I went to the library but there was no one. The silence was deafening all around. I took a deep breath. Maybe it would be better if I just went back to my room.

I was at the bottom of the stairs when I noticed a shadow of a person outside the window. I bowed down.
