Bounded by Time~
old landline
Sana was standing outside the old house car keys was in her hands, staring at the wall the pain was peeling, windows were cracked, but he didn't seen to mind it
The quite around the house feel comforting and that's what she need right now
it's been one month her life has been fallen apart from all the friendship's betrayal, the fights all he needed right now was a new start
She just brought the new house the price were cheap almost felt like a joke. The house was way from city. Even her friends thoughts of her as crazy "living there alone" "with no Wi-Fi or coffee shop around"
But she wasn't looking for anything like that she was looking for her, herself
She opened the door it opened with the creek, the floor was damaged, dust was all over, the air smelled like old wood
sana
Nice
*said with the sarcastic smile*
She brought her suite case inside
She looked at the faded wallpaper, old furniture
sana

She cleaned a bit of the house
sana

She tries to let go the conversation she had and try to focus on herself
sana
*look around in the empty, dirty and lonely house*
sana

sana
*eyes filled with tears*
She put her mattress on the corner she cleaned and slept there
The sleep came with the uneasy dream
Sana woke up suddenly, her heart was beating loudly
She looked at her watch 2:30 Am
A cold chill ran through her, and she shivered. The air felt-- strang heavy and cold. The silence in the house seem thicker now as if something was waiting
sana sat up on her matress her eyes went to the rotary phone
sana

She kept thinking about it
She was not able to ignor the phone
The rotary phone sat silently on the table.
The memory of the voice wasn't able to leave her brain
She move closer to the rotary phone automatically
She dial the same number as before the sound of rotary dial comforting in the quite room
she held her breath and put the phone to her ear

her mind was racing the thought was jumbling the room felt colder and darker as if the air around her has changed
sana
It was the prank right or not!?
Do tell me your thoughts??
whisper in the silence
That day the house felt longer and slowed, each quarter then the one before. Sana thought being alone would make her feel better, A break from tired mind, her broken heart. But the silence felt heavy like the weight she couldn't escape
She thought of divert her mind and stated unpacking things
Cleaning the old furniture. No matter how much she work the house still felt heavy and cold
she starts to thinking about her life her friend the city light tears came into her eyes she slept while crying
The day came she tried to make herself busy in books nothing helped her
By the third night she was falling apart
sana
*sat in the corner of the living room looking at the rotary phone*
She was looking at the phone as it was mocking her as if he knew what all she was going through
sana
I-i thought ii could do this but seems like I can't *sobbing*
sana
I can't be alone anymore *break down*
She looked at the rotary phone crying. It looked like as if it was calling her, the moonlight make it shine
She thought about the strange captain Vincent? Was he real. Or just an accident
She went near the phone hold the receive phone on her ears
sana
*was going to dial the number*
captain vincent
Hello who is it
captain vincent

Something inside her broke-- the loneliness, the silence it all boiled over
sana
I didn't call u. I didn't even dial the number it automatically connected to u i don't even know why i picked the stupid phone
She shouted, her voice was trembling
Her voice cracked. She again broke down into tears
The silence grew longer on the line
captain vincent

She tried to stop her sobbing and replied
captain vincent

The question hit him hard she wanted to ans, but she didn't know how to, and she was not sure if she should ans the question to a complete stranger
captain vincent

His voice sounded comforting
sana

Capital didn't answer right away. Sana could clearly hear the soft sigh like he understood
captain vincent
