***It was a normal sunny day as always I got up late so I hurried up to reach office at time , but I was still late and got scolded by boss. I was bullied again by my co-workers and spilled coffee on my computer .

During the meeting I forgot my file on my office desk and was scolded again by the boss. I don't why all this was happening , maybe because the nature really didn't wanted me to get out of my house today.

It was the normal sunny day but not for me .

After the office work was done I wanted to go straight home and take a good nap but everything ruined the moment I took my foot out of the office building.

At first I thought it was just normal but now I can feel it someone has been stalking me from the time I got out of the office .

*present moment*

what should I do I can't take it anymore I said to myself and started walking in a pace , I can't call my family cause I live alone and my friends they must be busy with their work no one's picking up.

As I passed by a shop I looked at it's glass window and it's reflection I saw a person walking behind me wearing a black jacket and face covered with a mask . My eyes were widely open , my whole body covered in sweat , I felt like there was a huge rock in my heart it was heavy I couldn't breathe I... I was scared. I was breathing heavily I... I wanted to cry I wanted to shout for help but my voice gave up on me , then suddenly realized that the shadow was coming closer I came back to my senses and started running towards my house . He is still following me , my heart beat is increasing, it's late night and all the shops are closed there's no one on the street from whom I can ask for help .

There's one similar feeling among all the other feelings it's it's the feeling I get from my neighbor Sam although he's a normal guy who's a introvert and hardly talks to anyone, whenever I see him he's holding a book or playing chess by himself but whenever I try to get near him o get a strange feeling like it's telling me not to go near him .

But why am I getting this feeling right now , As I was thinking this I saw a shop which was still open, I ran and went inside I went to the clothes stall and hid myself behind the pile of some dress I calmed myself and tried to catch my breath but I couldn't I am still scared I want to cry I want to cry out loud *it's scary I'm scared I'm scared* I want to throw up I want to vomit it's like all the feeling and emotions are coming out & Stuck in my neck I wanna take them out but I sat there quietly waiting for him to go away.

After a few minutes I came out of the pile and walked towards the exit of the shop but after taking few steps I stood at a place like a statue . No no no this isn't true no maybe I'm hallucinating because of what happened yes it must have affected my brain I'm talking to myself as I gaze at the man wearing black jacket and face covered with mask standing at the money counter of the shop . It, It must be a coincidence they can't be se right . The guy standing at the counter was looking at the CCTV footage of the shop , but he suddenly turned his eyes towards me I hid myself behind a stall . * it's him it's really him * I said , he knows that I'm still here and is waiting for me to come out . Wait he was looking at CCTV footage is he , no. is he watching me , I looked here and there but there was only one camera around and it was not at an angle from where he could see me . What, What should I do, How can I get out of here without him noticing me I can't stay here always , wait yes I can't stay here always neither can he the shop is going to be closed soon he have to go yes he can't stay Even if he want to , after he gets out I can ask for help from the shopkeeper .* Come on Mia just a little more, bear with it a little more * I gave hope to myself . "What are you doing here" A heavy voice of a man came from behind . My body flinched , My heart stopped and my mind went blank, my whole body was trembling in fear ."I'm asking you" the heavy voice again, I didn't have guts to turn back , tears started flowing from my eyes , he put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around I couldn't open my eyes . "Hey don't cry okk I was just asking because you looked suspicious" he said in a kind way . I looked at him and was so relieved that I just holded him tightly and started crying. He didn't say a word , he lives on the same building as mine and on the floor above mine , he's a teacher maybe same age as mine , he also works as a painter and have a part time job on a cafe . We are hardly able to see each other because of our work we don't even Know each other's name but still at this time he's the only one I can trust. After I have calmed down a bit he asked me what's happening and I told him everything "I'll help you out so don't worry anymore okk " that's what he said. And then*** .........
