I was not feeling well that evening as my boyfriend and I had some misunderstanding. So before going home, I passed by at my friend’s house, whom our common friends. He listened to me while I burst out my disappointment. We sat at the garden chair when I heard a voice of a young lady crying inside their house, just a wall distant. While I was talking, the lady cried louder and louder and that made me distract from talking. I was terrified of her voice as it sound like she was crying on my ears and wanted an attention. At first, I ignored it as I thought it was just my friend’s sister. But after a couple of minutes, to my surprise, my friend finally asked me, ” Do you hear that, Diane? Who’s that lady crying?” “I don’t know, do you have someone with you there?” I said. He said he was alone. I didn’t believe him as I though he was joking.
But when I went inside to check as I know I heard it from there. He also checked it out, nobody was there. We were both confused. I was frightened and I got my bag and said goodbye to him and hurriedly went home . He also hurriedly ran to his neighbor’s house and stayed there while waiting for his mom to come home.
After a month, my brother died. An accident happened to him when he drowned in the swimming pool during his 21st birthday. We decided to do the wake at home. I was in the state of shock as I couldn’t believed about what happened. When the casket arrived, I started weeping. I cried a lot while my neighbors were all there with me and my mom giving their condolences. While I cried, I remembered that voice, the lady wailing at my friend’s house. I figured out the way she cried was the same as mine. It was me. It was my voice – The same exactly wailing voice that I heard. The way the lady wailed was also the same voice as mine. That was my first time to cry like that.
The only thing I considered mystery is that, my friend also heard that wailing voice.
