Serra gave the teacher her address. He dropped them off in that location.
Nikki's heart was beating too fast that she could hear the pounding of her heart. She was trying to stay calm, but her hands were sweating. She seemed very nervous.
"Why are you so nervous?" Serra asked as she opened the door. Nikki looked up at her without saying anything, she smiled and shook her head, in response to Serra's question.
Nikki paused when she noticed the house, she was a bit surprised. It's a double storey house. It is not so big but a lively house, she somehow liked it. Although she seemed a little happy, but her heart was still pounding fiercely out of her chest.
'This feeling is strange, it feels like I'm going to find something precious soon. But what it is, I don't know. Why is my heart beating so fast for no reason?' Nikki thought anxiously and stared blankly at the house.
"Don't just stare, come on already." Serra said and went inside the house. Nikki followed her and went inside as well.
The sun has already set a while ago and it's becoming dark.
It was dark inside the house, Serra turned on the lights as soon as she entered the house. Nikki didn't expect Serra to live alone in a house like this. Nikki thought Serra's family would be here with Serra. Nikki was surprised.
The house looked dull from inside as if there was no one for a long time and it was lifeless.
"You don't have to be so shocked." Serra said with a awkward smile. Nikki didn't say anything but she looked confused.
There were some pictures on the wall, But why are there only two people in all those pictures....
"Three years ago, my parents got divorced. I started living in this house with my father. My father died last year.... I went back because I hated being alone and I had a feeling that I would meet you there." Serra said in low-pitched voice. She didn't cry nor she smiled, her face was pale and cheerless.
Nikki froze as she heard that, she had no idea about all these incidents.
'Wh- why didn't she tell me all these earlier?' Nikki thought helplessly, she was trembling and breathing fast. She looked fragile as if she will break down and cry right away.

Nikki suddenly hugged Serra and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry! I didn't know anything about it, I don't know what to say. I am useless, I'm sorry!" Nikki started crying as she spoke.
"You, silly! Why are you crying?" Serra asked and wiped her tears away.
She glanced at Nikki and said humbly, "See? That's why I didn't tell you."
Nikki didn't say anything, but she looked pale.
Losing someone we love is very painful and Nikki has experience with that pain. She could not control herself from crying, because that pain woke up inside her.
"H-help! P-please get me out of here." she said in a trembling voice.
"Where is she? Why can't l see her anywhere?" he muttered to himself. He was searching for that girl restlessly. Darkness all around him, he couldn't see anything.
"H-hey. Help me, p-please" she said again in a mournful voice.
He heard that, but he couldn't find anyone. He was still searching for that girl.
Beep. Beep.
The alarm clock rang.
The sound of the alarm clock woke him up, he was panting heavily and he felt pain in his body.
"That dream... really pisses me off!" he mumbled to himself angrily.
