"...half of me is missing...
...and what's left is missing you."
                  ~Ranata Suzuki~

Anonymous POV

When I saw her at the park in the dark freezing night, I knew I would fall for her...

With all her brokenness, heartache,pain, distress... she brightens my heart like the moon, so majestic, so beautiful like the twinkle stars between the moonlight.

And suddenly what makes her weep is my agony, and what makes her smile is my target.

My heart slipped out of my hands when I looked at her.

Her eyes so captivating, full of heartbreak and loneliness, of vacant stares and unkept promises. There was no sense of love, no warmth, no happiness.

It's hard not to fall in love with those eyes, dark brown pupils that drown me into deep oceans.

Love has cast its spells...

And it's hard to reverse the spells...

It's love, it could be nothing else...

Sabreena's POV

The morning sunlight creeping through my bedroom window as my eyes slowly opened. I groaned loudly, turning my head to the side to check the time.

I felt a pang of headache, my body aches as if I have been in a fight or I have been recently beaten.

Last night scenaries flashed through my head. How did I end up in my room last night. I clearly remember collapsing at the park.

"What happened to me? I asked myself while rubbing my head.

I sat up still rubbing my head as I get down from my tender bed. I went straight to the bathroom to perform ablution then came out and offered my sallat.

I sat down on the prayer mat reciting the Quran quite loudly enough to be heard downstairs.

Mum came into the room with a tray of my breakfast occupying both her hands. She gave me a glance before she gently placed the tray on the rug in the middle of my room.

She sat down at the edge of my bed looking at me intensely. It scares me for a moment, but I just shrugged it off and greeted her with a small smile.

"Ina kwana mama( Good morning mama)" I said.

"Morning, how are you feeling now?" She questioned worriedly.

"Mama I'm fine, did something happened to me?"

Mama raised my brows at me shaking her head before averting her eyes from mine.

"Mama, I can't remember! I remembered collapsing in the park but I didn't know how I ended up here in my room." I whined.

"Your brother found you unconscious in the park at midnight. He spent two and a half hours trying to find you. Do you have any idea how worried we were. Do you have any idea how scared I was. Huh! You just disappeared to the park during the event Sabreena. How could you be so careless?" Mum snapped at me with tears eyes.

"Mama I'm sorry, I didn't know what got over me. I was feeling suffocating in the hall, so I decided to take a walk and have some fresh air, Mama trust me I didn't mean to hurt you or anyone. I'm sorry mama."I stuttered.

"It's okay baby, just promise it won't happen again. Okay"

"Yes mama"

"Now eat your breakfast, I made it specially for you dear." Mama beamed happily.

"Thank you mama. I don't know what I would do without you mum. I love you soo much, from the moon and back." I giggled as I hugged her.

Mum left my room to go do some work. I immediately started munching on my pancakes. Pancakes are my favorite, mum knows just what I needed.

I finished my food in minutes, I can eat really fast when I'm hungry, just like a mannerless goat.

I took my bath and dress in a tree quarter jeans and a cropped multicolored tank top.

I brushed my hair and let it to rest on my shoulder since I don't have school today and I don't plan on going out. I decided to wear something simple and comfy.

I wanted to spend my day reading, I went to the bookshelves to choose a romantic novel. I love romantic stories, it makes me go into an illusion of deceptive world where love is true, where love is happiness, where love is beautiful.

As a child, I read and read over and over. Consuming myself with the love that only exists in fiction tales and making my expectations too high. I didn't think that type of love is unreal, that it only existed inside of the book I held in my palms. And Safwan showed me otherwise.

We shared that love, that kind so powerful, it was our very life force. The kind that would rip you inside and out if the time ever came. And the time came.

I tried very hard to hide my pain behind my smile and my laughs, to make myself think I was okay and I could move on, but I couldn't.

I feel hurt and betrayed. If that was how love was, I would have never fallen into it. But alas it happened and I m left with the broke heart that isn't healing.

I sat on the black pluffy couch on my room reading. I finally decided on which book to read after ten minutes of searching. I am old favorite one. 'Beauty and the beast' its my favorite since childhood.

I was reading when I felt some movement beside me, I turn around and saw nothing.

"I'm just being paranoid" I thought to myself and continued reading.

I still get this feeling like someone is beside me or I'm being watched.

I have a little pang of feeling that I'm not alone in the room.

That kind of feeling when someone stood beside you or when some sit beside you. That feeling when someone's eyes are on you.

That kinda feeling when you know there is definitely someone next to you.

But my room is empty, I'm the only person here.
Am I imagining things? I wondered to myself.

I felt some movements beside me, I immediately hopped to my feet looking for my hijab.

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiun- to Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return"

I wore my hijab and slippers, then left the room in a hurry.

I scurried the stairs to the kitchen where I found mama cutting some veggies on the kitchen counter.

"Ya salaam, Sabreena what is it? Where are you running off to?"

"Nowhere mama I just wanted to help you." I lied between my teeth.

"Oh okay, come here and cut some green beans." Mama instructed.

I immediately went to work, I hate cooking though but I rather cook than go back to my room where I think a demon lives.

I wonder I'm why I got scared anyways. Maybe it was just my imagination.

"No matter what it is Allah is there with me and He will protect me. No need to be scared Sabreena." I said to myself in a calming voice.

Assalama alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Helllo dear fellas!!

How're you all doing?
Hope all is good?
May Allah guide us and protect us all. Ameen

Guyss!! I'm not really good with the scaring and horror parts. I have tried a lot in this chappy. So a round of applause for me pls👏🏼👏🏼

Honestly I'm not happy with the improvement of this book...so I might remove it from Wattpad if it continues like this. I'm sorry but it's best if I keep writing to myself and keep it on my phone without sharing it to anyone since I don't get much applause for it.

Please don't forget to-
