To Be Afraid Or Not To Be Afraid?

I will never put up this particular post unless I think it is something people should be aware of. We should not be oblivious of what's around us. There are things that we can see. There are also things that we cannot see with our naked eyes.

Not too long ago, I encountered something that I have never encounter before in my many years of living. Something that would make you leap out from your skin. Something that would cause a sudden rush of goosebumps all over you. Something that the weak would faint and the strong trembles.

My first encounter happened in my own room in my apartment (uniten).
It was about 4-5 in the morning, the week before my chemistry midterm. As what the usual me would do, I was burning the midnight oil la. A cup of concentrated coffee just an arm away, my chemistry text books and notes neatly laid on the table, and there I was at my study table trying to understand what my chem text books and notes are babbling about.
Then, it came. The chilly whisper of my name behind me... It caught my attention but I ignored because I thought maybe it was just me being tired. You know when you're tired and sleepy, your mind tends to go cuckoo and blur right?
I went back to my work when suddenly, I heard the same damn whisper again. I didnt dare to turn around nor look left or right.. There's a mirror at the back of me and.. you know la. You dont want to see things after hearing!
At that point, I freaked out. All I could do was to pray that God protects me from whatever it is.
At the end of my prayer, there it was again.The same exact whisper, whispering my name. The hair at the back of my neck was standing, I broke into cold sweat.. Goosebumps everywhere! My heart was beating faster than usual. I just stared at my chem text book, not daring to move an inch. After goodness knows how long, I could not take it any longer. I closed my eyes, switched on the bedlamp, jump into my bed and hid under my comforter till I saw the sun peeping through my window. I'm still getting the chill when I think of it. Even now when I'm typing this!

My second encounter was a very recent one. It happened during my calculus test 2 in the library examination hall, 16th of March, the Friday that just passed.
I was engrossed in the paper when suddenly,... yes, the eerie whisper of my name. It came from behind. Hey, it was a very important test, lecturers were in every coordinate of the hall and time was very limited. How could anyone whispered my name? How could anyone whispered the exact whisper I heard during my first encounter when I did not tell anyone else but my housemates about the incident?

Could it be my imagination? Could it be me going crazy? If it is neither those, Leave me alone pls!! damnnit! what do you want from me?! I'm affected mentally and emotionally! Enough of scaring me out of my wits! Now, bugger off!

Pls, pls pls pls pls pls pls let that be my last encounter of whatever it is...

God, protect me from all evil with your protective warm caring unfailing hands.
