That night...

"Yay! I'm so excited!" Gina exclaimed. She and her dad were on their way to their hometown to pick up Gina's mum. "Calm down, we're not set to arrive in another 4 hours." her dad, Mr Michael said amused by his daughter. " I know that dad, but I just can't wait to see mum, grandma, grandad and everyone of my cousins."
"I know that. But, I can't concentrate on my driving if you don't sit still."

Mr Michael and his daughter Gina decided to surprise Gina's mother, Mrs Michael who was on vacation in her hometown. It was already 6 o'clock in the evening when they set off from Kuching, it was going to be about a five hour drive for them.

Halfway there, the weather started getting nasty. Thunders were rumbling, there was lightning, and the rain was unbelievable. Nobody would be able to see a thing in that kind of weather, especially at night.
" Bad luck, I can't see a thing." Mr Michael said as he tried really hard to see where he was going. " Why don't you try your spotlight dad?" Mr Michael did as he was told. The problem was that it made it worse. "Oh no, it's making it worse."
"You know what? Why don't you help me look out for a shop or someplace for us to stop." continued Mr Michael.
"Yeah sure."

So, the father daughter carefully made their way through the pouring rain.

A few miles later,
"Dad, you just missed it!"
"What? I didn't see anything."
"Dad, it was back there."
"Looks like we are going to have to stop at the next place we find. This time though, make sure that  you warn me earlier ok?"

A few moments after that, Gina noticed something from the corner of her eyes.
"Dad, what was that?"
"I'm sure it was nothing. I mean it's dark."
" Yeah, I guess you're right."

But, in her heart, Gina knew that she just saw something.She just couldn't quite put her finger on just what it is.
So, she did as she was told and kept her opinions to herself.

"Dad, about a mile from here there is a rest stop."
"Great. We can finally have something to eat."

So, they found themselves stopping at Lacau. Thankfully for the both of them, the shops were still open at the time. Mr Michael was glad to just stretch his legs after the long drive. Gina on the other hand, well she was feeling a bit uneasy to say the least. Little did she know that she was going to feel more uneasy. Mr Michael bought food for the both of them.

"Gina, why are you not eating?"
"Um, maybe later? I'm just not hungry yet."
"Ok. I'll save some for you."
"Yeah."

And then it happened again.
"Dad! Did you see that?!"
"What?"
"I think I saw someone over there."
"Gina, there is nobody here except for us and the storekeeper."
"But, I just saw someone over there. I think the person was dressed in black or red I couldn't tell."
"Gina, please stop talking nonsense."
"But,I....."
"Stop it or you'll be grounded."

It was so frustrating that her father did not believe her. She wished that her father could have seen what she has seen. Oh no, there goes that feeling again. She just felt unsettled. It's like something was telling her not to go on with her journey.
