Fifteen years passed. Aria grew into a young woman, now living with her mother in a small rented house. Her mother had become a baker, and Aria helped her sometimes. Life was simple, quiet, and… happy, almost.
She went to college, had friends, and laughed sometimes. But deep down, a part of her never stopped thinking about Siya. The day she lost her friend never left her heart.
Then strange things began happening. Shadows moved in her room. Cold spots appeared for no reason. And sometimes, she thought she heard a small, familiar whisper.
“Aria… why…?”
At first, she ignored it. She told herself it was imagination. But the feeling grew stronger. She was not alone. Someone—or something—was watching her.
And one night, she saw her.
Siya. Her best friend. But not like before. Her eyes were empty, her face pale, and there was a sadness that made Aria’s chest tighten.
“Why did you leave me?” Siya whispered. “Why didn’t you come?”
Aria’s heart ached. “I… I didn’t know…” she stammered.
Siya’s spirit was angry. She wanted revenge not just on Aria, but
on her father too.
