Prologue

May I speak to Miss Caren Javier? An unknown male voice asked on the phone. Caren replied, Yes, please, she was unaware of the man calling her at midnight.

Happy birthday, Caren, He wished her.

Confused Caren replied politely, Sorry, it must be a wrong number, today is not my birthday. My birthday is in August, not in October.

She did not bother to hear the man’s reply and disconnected the line. James rolling over on his bed asked in a drowsy voice, Who the hell is it?

An unknown number, dear, Caren relaxed on the pillow, spreading the blanket on her legs, Wishing me happy birthday. It’s a wrong number, but the man sounded so confident…

He was shouting many things when you disconnected. I heard a little bit, he was shouting, reminding that today is your birthday. James replied.

Must be a drunkard, Caren snapped and tried to sleep, but could not. She felt that the man could call her up again, but nothing happened. Finally, she fell asleep. However, Caren could not sleep peacefully, she was having a nightmarish vision of her disturbing childhood.

Caren, Caren… someone was calling her from distance. Suddenly, she felt someone was jerking her, shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes and found James was leaning over her anxiously, Are you Ok? Honey? James brought his face closer to her mouth.

What’s wrong with me, dear? Caren discovered herself full of sweats and tears, she was weeping in dreams.

You were moaning, sobbing. I think you have a nightmare, James replied.

I always have a nightmare, especially whenever I think about my childhood. You’re aware of my bad luck. Caren sighed.

She was afraid of bad days. Most of her life was spent in the dark.
