Dear Diary

03 June 1980

Dear Diary,
I had a lot of fun at school. Earlier this morning, I was
so excited to go to school to meet new friends. I am now an official first year
COLLEGE student. I felt random while I was walking at the corridor. I don't know
if I am going to be excited or nervous. When I am about to enter my first class,
a guy suddenly bumped me from my back. I was mesmerized when I saw his face. He
is so handsome. He looks so mysterious and he is very masculine. I gazed at his
eyes as he asked if I'm alright. I didn't answer his question, I was very
hypnotized by his appearance. His eyes twinkle. His nose is pointed. His lips
are reddish in color and small. His teeth when he smiles are as white as pearl.
His face is spotless. The best thing that captures me is his fragrance. He smell
so good. But, my perfect moment was disrupted when his friends came in to
action. They all laughed at me, and teased me. I know I'm not that pretty, or
let's just say, I know I look like a monster and I am used to it. I was so
embarrassed that these guys are insulting me in front of Mr.handsome guy. :( My
cheeks blushed in humiliation. Well, I was shocked that Mr.handsome guy stopped
them and ask for an apology for what had happened. It is my first time to be
saved by a handsome guy from bullies. Because of my great shock, I can't move
and I'm stuck there for roughly 30 secs. He and his friends went inside and left
me. I felt so happy that at least, this Mr.handsome guy saved me. He is my
superman. :) Because it is our 1st time in class, of course our professor asked
us our names one by one. I introduced my self like this. "Hi I'm Tamara Nicole
Oasis and you can just call me Mara". I really love my name, isn't it beautiful?
Well at least though my face is horrifying, still my name is lovely. I was so
excited to know Mr.handsome guy's name. But unfortunately, our professor asked
for a favor. He wants me to buy him a bottle of water from the cafeteria. Gees,
what a great timing right? I was angry that time because 5 people to go then it
is Mr.handsome guy's turn! I almost turned to an ogre, but I can't do anything
but to follow his command. I ran as fast as I can, and take note, it is from 4th
floor to the ground floor. That's exhausting! When I came back at our class
room, it's hard for me to catch my breath. Sadly, the boy next from him is
already introducing himself. I'm not able to get Mr.handsome guy's name. That's
the only subject that we're classmates. So I'm not able to get his name. How sad
right? :( But maybe in due time I'll discover his name. There's gonna be more to
come tomorrow. :)

Dear Diary,
I
HAD A LOT OF FUN! Well, I mark this day as my favorite day! HORAH! I never
expected that this thing will happen. YES! Fairytale do come true. I witnessed
it a while ago. I am the beast and he is the handsome. HANDSOME AND BEAST. It
was our lunch break back then when Mr.handsome guy approached me! YES he
approached me! I was alone in a table for two at the cafeteria, when suddenly a
guy at my back asked me if it is okay to join me. I looked at this guy to know
who he is and to my surprise, it was Mr.handsome guy. I don't know how to react
that time but I let him sit. Both of us were very quiet. I can't eat and I felt
so nervous. He asked me if I'm alright and I answered him with a stuttering
voice. I just can't hide how nervous I am. If only I am pretty like the popular
girls whom he was always with, then surely I'll not be as nervous and timid as I
was that time. I really don't have the power to ask for his name but still I
tried. I break the silence and asked for his name. "Oh, didn't you know my name
still? I've mentioned it yesterday at our first class". He said it with smiles
in his face. I said that our professor asked me a favor and then there he
introduced himself. His name is very cute. He is Carl Vincent Marco or Carvin.
Carvin is so unique. YES? His face is good and as well as his name. I fell in
love even more. I like him.... SO MUCH! I found it very hard to talk with him
because I can't look at him straight in the eye. I kept on removing my eyes from
his eyes. He is done eating and still I am not. I CAN'T EAT! I thought if he
finished his food he'll leave me already, but he didn't. He said that he'll wait
for me. I was shy that I just said to him that I'm done eating. We walked
together at the corridor and up to our class room. We don't talk that much but
if ever we do talk, he was always the one who starts the conversation. When we
enter the class room, everybody is there except for his bully friends, whom I
hate. I sit far away from him so that he'll not notice that I like him. This day
ended well. I'm so happy to know my dear Carvin. If only you knew how much I
love you Carvin! :)

Dear Diary,
I had my heart
broken this day. I tried to audition in our school's glee club but they didn't
accepted me. I know for myself that I am a good singer. Why did they not
appreciate it? Maybe they were also after the appearance. Maybe because I look
so horrifying? I don't know but it really gave me a heart ache.
Because of this, I cried. To my surprise a hand holding a
handkerchief appears in front of me. It was Carvin. I thought I'll be crying
there on my own but luckily, someone was there to comfort me. I didn't get his
handkerchief so he went in front of me and sit and wiped my tears. I KNOW, I
KNOW. This moment is so sweet. I almost forgot that my heart was aching. My
superman saved me again. While walking, Carvin is with me. We talked, giggled
and laughed. But one thing puzzled me, his bully friends doesn't care if ever
their friend is with me. They were not teasing me already. It is as if they're
already afraid of me? Oh well, that is much better than being teased right?
While me and Carvin were waiting for our drivers to fetch us, his driver came
first. He told me to come with him so I did. I felt so happy a while ago. He
acted as if he is my boyfriend. Even our classmates are wondering why this
handsome guy is hanging out with an ugly person who is me. Well maybe he just
find me as a friend. NO BODY KNOWS. :) I had fun this day. My heart that has
been broken, was fixed by a very good mender. :)

Dear Diary,
HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT, HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT,
HE LOVES ME! :) HE DOES! Yes Diary, He loves me! This day is AWESOME! I'm so in
love with my superman! Me and my superman Carvin went to his home after class.
He is alone there with his maid. Well I really hate that maid because she keep
on murmuring that I'm ugly for his boss. Alright, I know I'm ugly. Even though
she only whispered it, well i heard it. I'm so angry with that maid. Pity on
her. Well back to my story. While me and Carvin was at the living room watching
movie, he suddenly held my hand. I was shocked. I looked at him with a smile and
he looked at me as well. He held my hand tight and he moved closer to me. He
looked at me with a smile. He asked me if I'm okay. Well, he always ask that. He
never fails to ask me if I am fine. Well, with him, the answer will always be I
am fine. :) I just nod my head as a sign of yes. He caressed me. This time, I
know that he like me! Am I right? YES? I tilt my head to his chest and to my
surprise, he kissed my head. :) I just love that moment! I always ask myself,
why in the Earth does he choose me? Why me if there are lots of pretty girls
around who likes him? WHY ME? Well, I guess that's really how mystical love is.
When were done watching, he asked me if I will go home already. Well, my Mom and
Dad knows about him so I am not worried whether I go home late. My parents trust
me so much and I'll not break their trust. I called my Dad that time and Carvin
talked to him. When he hang up the phone, he smiled. It only means that my
father agreed that I can go home around 7-8 in the evening. We ate, we laughed,
we shared stories. It was 8 in the evening when he drove me home. When I was
about to go out of the car, he kissed me goodbye on my lips. He doesn't say "I
LOVE YOU" but his actions proved that he loves me. :) this day is full of
surprises!! Is he already my boyfriend?

Dear Diary,
I am very sorry that I haven't updated you already. I'm
just so busy for school and as well for my superman. :) I'm just so curious why
he doesn't say I love you to me. He also doesn't confirm if he is already my
boyfriend. Well, I'll wait. :) Another weird thing is his friends. They don't
bother us at all unlike the other people in our class, who always have this
violent reactions when they saw us together. Don't worry my diary, I'll update
you if I can. :) I LOVE CARL VINCENT MARCO SO MUCH. What could be his surprise
tomorrow?

2010......


"Hello? Anybody home?" She shouted after knocking on the door. I am your new neighbor. I just want to ask something. Hello?" Nobody answers her so she thought that maybe no one lives there.
Nathalie Sy is a well-known writer in their country. She transferred to a new house, from urban to rural. She choose to be in a house isolated from others so that she can write her new novel without any distraction. She loved her new home for it is big and its location is peaceful.

One night while she's writing her novel, she noticed something outside her window. The first time she noticed it she didn't care at all but the second time it disturbed her makes her wonder what it is. She opened the window but she saw nothing. When she closed the window, she noticed it again. It looks like a girl running so fast, back and forth. She decided to go outside to check it. With her flashlight, she went to the place where she noticed it. She felt cold while she was there. She saw nothing so she decided to go back. While walking she saw from the window of her house that there is someone inside, standing beside her computer. She thought that maybe it was a robber so she ran fast to attack it. She silently walked inside and search for the person she saw. She searched all over the house but she saw nothing. She laughed at herself. "Silly. Am I already hallucinating due to stress?" She went back to her computer. She was shocked that the computer is turned off. She looked at the CPU but it is still running. She tried opening the monitor but it is turned on already. She felt something at her back and she turned her head to check what it is but she saw nothing. When she looked back at her computer, a horrifying face in the monitor shocked her. It was a girl who looks so horrible and her face is full of blood. That girl looked familiar to her. She unplugged the computer and walk backwards. Her heart was beating so fast. Nobody is there and there are only two houses in that place and the city is far from her house. She can't call anybody for help. She closed the door of her house and ran upstairs. She was so scared that she locked herself inside her room. She cover herself with blanket. She closed her eyes in fright and she fell asleep.

When Nathalie woke up, she felt so exhausted. She got up and ate her breakfast. She is still puzzled to what she saw last night. Because of it, she decided to go to the city where the care taker of the house lives. She'll ask about the house's history. When she got there, there were investigators, cops and an ambulance surrounding the house of the care taker.
"Excuse me sheriff, what's the commotion here?" Nathalie asked.
"We received a call last night from a lady who's asking for help. And when we arrived here at the location, the lady who called is already dead."
Nathalie's eyes widen when she heard it. "Sheriff, the owner of this house is the care taker of the new house where I transferred. May I see the lady? I just want to check if she's the care taker of my house."
"Yes you may. Follow me. But, remember ma'am that you should have a strong heart if you want to see her face. It is reallyhorrible."
Nathalie is so nervous while she was removing the cover of the dead lady's body. When she saw the face of the lady, her heart beats even faster. She almost cried when she saw it. She ran out of the ambulance and went inside her car and drove home. She can still remember the face of the lady.
"Is it a deja vu? I saw that face before but I'm not sure where." Nathalie said in her mind.
When she was about to go to the kitchen, she passed through the computer and remembered what happened last night. She looked at the computer and remembered where she saw the face of the lady.
"Oh shit!" She shouted.
She dialed her phone to call her boyfriend.
"Hey honey, would you mind to stay with me for two weeks? I don't want to be alone here honey. Please come here. Please."
"Why? Hey hey, Calm down honey. What's wrong?"
"It's a long story. Please just go here. I need you."
"Alright, don't worry I'll be there."

Nathalie is out of her mind due to what she saw. She is still puzzled and horrified. Her boyfriend Henry Pete Castro or Pete already arrived. He knocks on the door but no one is answering so he just opened it. When he saw Nathalie, he smiled.
"Honey, why aren't you opening the door? And why is it not locked? You should lock it right?" Nathalie didn't answer. She is just staring at the floor. Pete was wondering why Nathalie was silent and why she doesn't care at all. He went in front of her and sit.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Why do you look so horrified?" Pete asked but Nathalie is still not moving and not blinking at all. Pete was horrified. He hugged her and her body is so cold.
"Honey! Come on! What's wrong?" Pete shouted. Pete went to the kitchen to get a drink for Nathalie. When he came back there, Nathalie is already gone. He wonders where she went. He didn't heard any sounds and the door is still closed and locked.
"Nathalie??" He shouted. Pete searched for her.
"Hey honey you're already here." Nathalie said while removing the keys from her door. "Why did you locked the door. I don't lock it when I am outside. I think this place is safe from robbers because it is isolated."
"Whoa! Where have you gone?" Pete asked with shock.
"Why do you look so horrified? I came from the market to buy you a food. Are you okay honey?" "What? But how? When I came here in your house, I saw you sitting at that chair staring at the floor, not moving and not even talking to me. I hugged you and your body is so cold."
"Honey don't trip like that."
"Honey I'm telling the truth. I saw you. I just went to the kitchen to get some water for you when suddenly you're gone. And then you entered the house. I was shocked that you're already talking and moving. And, you're already wearing a shirt and a pants."
"Maybe you're just hallucinating honey. Come on, let's eat and forget about that okay? It's just your wild imagination. Alright?"
"But....."
Nathalie kissed his lips. "It's just your imagination. Okay?" Nathalie hugged her.
"A-a-alright honey."

Nathalie was so happy that Pete is there with her. She already forgot what had happened because of Pete. She didn't mind telling him the story and just enjoyed their day.

One night when Pete and Nathalie were watching television, Nathalie asked him to buy her a food to eat. She is very hungry.
"Alright I'll buy you a food. Don't you want to come with me?"
"I don't like honey. I'll just watch here."
But I want to be assured that you'll be fine here alone."
"I'll be alright. I'm really hungry. But please, go home immediately."
"Alright." Pete kissed her before he went to the market.


While Pete was choosing for food that he will buy, he saw a lady who looked like Nathalie. She was sitting in a chair and she is not moving. He walked fast towards her to check if it is really Nathalie. When he was already near, he slowly glance at her face. When he saw her, it is really Nathalie. He was surprised that Nathalie is there, sitting and staring blankly at the floor.
"Nat, why are you here? Did you follow me honey? I thought you don't like to come with me?"
Nathalie did not respond to him. Suddenly, he remembered the first time he came to Nathalie's house. What he saw that day is the same as what he sees right now. His eyes widen and his heart beats so fast that he can hear it. He ran as fast as he can to check if Nathalie is alright. He started his car. He tried to call Nathalie but she is not answering.
"Come on honey, answer the phone."
When he's already at the house he hurriedly opened the door. He saw Nathalie there still watching. He sighed and he felt relieved.
"Honey, thank God you're fine." He walked towards her and was shocked to see the same thing on what he saw before and at the market, .
"Nathalie? Honey? Oh please Honey speak up. Hey. Tell me this is a joke. Please honey. No.." Pete cried. He hugged her. When he pushed her back, he was shocked because Nathalie's face was rotten already. It is full of blood and is distorted. It is very horrifying. He stood up and cried. He called the ambulance for help and he also called the police.

Pete still can't believe to what had happened. He is still crying while at the hospital. He loves Nathalie so much.

3 day passed...

While Pete was cleaning Nathalie's house, he saw a room that he haven't entered since he has been there. It looks like a depot because all the old things are there. He tried to clean that room as well. As he was cleaning, he saw a big box. He opened it and it is full of photos mostly of a couple. After seeing all the pictures, he saw a diary and there is a blood in it. He opened it and he read it. He was curious why the last date in the diary and all the things written in it is written by blood. He tried to investigate about Tamara Nicole Oasis, the owner of the diary, in the internet. He discovered where this girl studied. He went there and ask the president of the school about Mara.
"Good morning ma'am."
"Good morning mister. What can I do for you?"
"Ma'am, I am Henry Pete Castro. I just want to ask you about Miss Tamara Nicole Oasis. According to my research, she came from this school. I just want to know where she is right now."
"Are you a relative of Miss Oasis?"
"No ma'am. I'm just a friend of her's."
"Well, I am one of Miss Oasis' classmates before. She died 30 years ago. Her death is not an accident. According to investigators, a gang raped her and killed her morbidly. Investigators looked and searched for this gang but they didn't find them. Investigators already closed the case of Miss Oasis because it is really difficult for them to find the group who killed and raped her. They think that this group already migrated somewhere. But, there's one person who can help you. Miss Oasis have this boyfriend named Carl Vincent Marco or Carvin. I think he knows everything about her. This is where he lives. I'm not sure if that is still his address. But might as well check it out."
"Thanks you so much ma'am."
"You are welcome."

Pete went to the address which the principal, of Mara's former school, gave. Luckily, Carvin still lives there.
"Uhm, good noon Sir. I just want to interview you. May I come in?"
"No!" Carvin shouted. "I don't want any interview." He was about to go back inside his house when suddenly, Pete mentioned Mara's name.
"How did you know about Mara?" He asked.
"My girlfriend bought the Mara's house. Sadly, she died. According to the investigators, the care taker of the house also died. When I was cleaning the house, I saw a room and there I saw a box full of photos and here, this diary, I saw this there as well. I just find it weird that in the last day she wrote, was written by blood. And another weird thing is she said there anyone who read you will die. I just want to know more about Mara and according to the principal of the school where both of you studied, you can help me out."
"You also read the diary?!" He asked with his eyes wide open.
"Yes."
Carvin looked so worry about the guy and said, "I'm sorry, but you're next."
"Huh? W-w-what are you talking about?"
"Just like what you read from the diary, that anyone who'll read it will die. The care taker and your girlfriend came from the house. They died because of Mara's curse. Anyone who'll read that diary will die."
Pete was horrified to what Carvin said. He felt so cold.
"W-w-what can I do? I don't want to die. How can I break the curse? Please help me."
"I'm sorry. I am a sinner. If I didn't let that thing happen then, maybe, you'll live peacefully."
"What?"
"I was considered as the heartthrob of our school before. I met Mara because she is my classmate. I encountered her in our first day with my friends. My friends dare me to date Mara and I did it even though I don't like her. When I passed the dare, I brought Mara with me to my friends. I said sorry to her and walked away. In the evening, in our house, I received a call from one of my friends. He said that Mara was delicious. I was shocked to what he said. Then he admitted that they raped Mara and after raping her, they killed her. I'm so horrified to what had happened. That is really not with the plan but I don't know why they have done that thing. I hang up the phone. My friend called me again and they said that all of them will migrate to California. They also said that I should keep quiet and never tell anyone about it. Now, all of them already died. No one was left."
"That was very horrible. Why did you do that?! See what you've done to my girlfriend and to me! You immature!"
"I said I'm sorry."
Pete was so angry that time. "Do you have a lighter or match there?"
"Yes I have a lighter here."
"Please give me the lighter." and Carvin gave it to him.
Pete light the diary and burned it.
"Now that it is already burned, I think the curse will now end." Pete said with a cold smile.
"But it is endless. You just make it worst for you."
"Shut up idiot!" Pete shouted. After burning the diary, he left it and Carvin.

"That stupid guy. Curse don't exist now. I know I'll be fine. Huh."
He returned to his house and cooked his dinner. While eating, he heard some noise upstairs. He checked it out. There's nothing there. When he went back at the dinning room he was shocked to see himself smiling at him. His body was bloody and his face was distorted. He was horrified to see himself like that. He ran fast and went outside the house. He tried to look back and when he look again in front, he saw himself again.
"Stop! No.........."
