While at the library, the visitor is not so many like yesterday. Thank god for that. This will give me enough time for me to finish my work on time. Last night incident still bother me. I try to forget and consecrates on my work. After a while, a guy come to my desk and asks my help to find a book. I know this guy. He always comes to the library and borrowed a book. If I am not mistaken, he always borrowed a book about vampire. Hm… that’s interesting. I also love to read book about them. Night creatures.
‘Hello... Can you help me to find this book? Its called Merrick and the author are by Anne rice.’
He handed over a piece of paper to me and smile. I take a deep breath and slowly let it go.
‘Well, I believe that we only have 1 copy of this book. And it has been borrowed by someone else.’
His face looks very disappointed when he heard the answer that I gave to him.
‘Hm…can I know when will this person finish reading the book?’
Okay. This sound desperate you see... He asking me when will this person finish reading the book??? Well…well…
‘I am sorry sir. I can’t tell you that. This person might come and asking to extend the time to borrowed the book.’
He looks away after heard what I said.
‘Well, nothing much you can do then. But if the person returns the book, would you mind to contact me.’
He really believes in what I told him. I smile at him…
‘Yes, I will call you once the person returns the book.’
I handed him a piece of paper and a pen for him to write his contact number and his name. Well…well… his name is Angus Emlyn. Sound unique. Scottish and welsh. Hm… that’s interesting. He passes me the paper and smile at me. He turns and walks away.
Whoosh!! That’s it. I’ve lied to him. Actually I am the one who read the book. Well, I am still reading it and I won’t let him have it before I finish it. I put the piece of paper with him name and phone number on it under the book. So I continue my work. Few hours passes…
I heard somebody calling my name. I look up and I saw James standing in front of me with his torch light. James is a security at the library. He always work night shift.
‘Well, gene. You still working? Don’t you know what time is now?’
I look at him with my blur face. I look at my watch. And it shows 8.30pm. Whoa!! Man!! I didn’t realize that the time is late already. I smile at him,
‘Okay James. I am off now. But promise me that you will take care of this place will you?’
He laugh and
‘Well miss, I will. Don’t you worry about this place. All this books will be safe with me’
I laugh when I heard he said that. He always says that every time I told him to take care of the library. You see…the library used to be broken last year. Most of the books that have been kept in the library more than 50 yrs ago have been stolen. That really pissed me off. The police manage to catch the thief but still can’t find the books that they have stolen. They said that they’ve sold it. The police lost track. I really disappointed with the police. So I pack my things and leave. My phone ring. I look at it and it was a call from Oli.
‘Man!! Where have you been? I’ve been try to call you since 7pm.’
‘I just come out from the library. I didn’t realize that the time is 8pm just now, until James come up.’
We chat for a while. And I hung up the phone. The night was so beautiful. The moon was so bright. Not so many people walking that night. I feel so hungry. So I decided to drop by at McDonalds’ to buy some food. After a while I hid back to my apartment. After finish taking my shower I sit in front of the TV while having my dinner. The clock shows the time is almost 12 midnite. No wonder I felt so sleepy.
Feel so nice once I laid my body on my bed. Before that, I’ve set my alarm clock. Automatically, I just fall asleep.
After a while, I felt that some one touch my fore head. I try to open my eyes but I can’t. Even that I try really hard to open it but still. I can feel that his finger run thru my face and touch my lips. I still can feel the finger touch my face and after a few second I fall in a deep sleep.
‘RINGGGGGGG!!!!!!’ my alarm clock ring. Gosh!! I felt my sleep too short that night. I lay for a while. I feel so strange that morning. I wonder why. I look around my room and suddenly my eyes stop at my dressing table. There’s a flower on the top of it. Quickly I get up from my bed and walk slowly to my dressing table. I took it and smell the flower. It was white lily. Nice smell. Plus it’s my favorite flower. I wonder who put it there. And plus, how did he come inside without I notice it. It really puzzles me. I check my things in case that they might stole something from me. But hey, what kind of thief that leave a flower after they broke into some one houses. Really funny huh? But then, nothing is missing. I thank god for that. But this flower thing still bothering me. I just leave it there on my dressing table. So I get ready to work.
