Trying to ignore the mixed thoughts that coming out from her mind, she
picked up the broadsheet and decided to get inside the house. 

As she enters, she notices the sudden darkness inside. Strange again, it
was still broad daylight but why the dimness? She looked outside and 
found that it was bright outside and she saw tall grasses covering 
around their house! How could she get out and get in their house 
without even noticing them? 

Confused on what going on around her, she goes off to her bedroom while
still holding the bundle of newspaper. She felt tired and fell her body 
on to the bed and take a look at the broadsheet. While reading, 
something from what she saw on the newspaper's front page strucked her. 


She took her diary and opened it, which was dated: November 11, 1990.
But why the newspaper has the date November 11, 2001? It is just a 
typographical error? 

“No, this can't be!” she unbelievably said as she fell out of
consciousness. 

On the other hand, a young man in bicycle came home when his grandmother
notices him sweating and faint. 

The boy tells his grandmother what he just saw when he passed by along
the road where a huge white house lies. 

“Oh, so you see Maria?” 

“Maria?” 

“Maria and her family have been dead for 11 years now. They were
murdered on Maria's birthday and the case has not been resolved yet 
until now. Some say that yearly, she's been appearing around their 
house. And you saw her today because it's her birthday!” 

“How frightening is that!” 

“Son, you shouldn't be frightened. Let's just pray for Maria and her
family's souls, for them to be at peace.”
