Sometime not too long ago, probably over about a month ago
just before I have moved to my new condo, I was asked by my mom to go buy
something at the convenient store it has something to do with the packing that
was going on in the unit so I have to go get dressed before going out of the
door. I have this weird hobby of checking out who else is waiting for the
elevator to come up as we are on the 16th floor, so I went out of the
door and looked out, there was a lady wearing a long black skirt and a white
polo shirt top least that is what I thought it was but was not carrying
anything just waiting by the elevator, where we live is a bit far from where
the lady was standing so I hurried inside to get my wallet and try catching the
elevator door before it closes should it arrive.
I brisk walk as fast as I could when I was about a few steps
away the lady moved and walked straight in thinking she would be holding the
door open I said “Please wait!” but as soon as I get to the elevator the first the elevator was on the ground floor and the other one is still on the 20th
floor and there is no way the elevator in the ground floor can go down that
fast as when I was walking towards it should be at least on the 10th
or the 7th floor at least.
When I got down to the ground floor I asked the guards on
the lobby if they saw the lady wearing a black skirt and white buttoned shirt
going out of the first elevator on the left, they answered No and that that the elevator is currently being fixed it's why it’s open from the ground floor, that
just sank in me that that lady that I saw was no neighbor and that she could
be just a memory from the past. The look on that lady as I was approaching her
has no emotion, no expression and just plain empty.
In such a short time, I have left in the building I asked some
friends around if they remember such a person that looked like what I have
described and some say it must be one of the unit owners from the same floor
but none of my neighbors look anything like the one I just described, then one
of the security personnel that has been working there for a long time told me a
story of a lady that used to live on the same floor as I am, she left for work
and was never found ever again, was wearing the same clothing as I have
described, a white buttoned shirt and a long black skirt, her hair was tied up
not on a ponytail but it's like how I
tie my hair up using chopsticks, a bit skinny, Spanish looking and fair
complexion.
Who is she? What happened to her? I don’t know only time
will tell if I would still have time to come visit that place again and try to
see if I can talk to that spirit if she is one, but if it’s just a memory then
I believe there is a message she wants to tell people, whatever it is I know
one day she will open up to someone, someone living in the same unit as she
does a long time ago.
