Sherry moved along with them, she held back her steps. Yella, Sera, and Masbel were not human so passing through walls was not something new to them but it was more than new to Sherry. Will she be able to pass through the wall? What will happen to her if she passes through the wall? Will she be able to show up in the land of no return just like Yella, Sera, and Masbel will? She waved and swallowed her negative thoughts moved closer to the wall and stopped. She looked behind one more again to give her parents and her house the last look. She saw someone that looked exactly like her, should we call it her doppelganger? Maybe it wasn't, Sherry. She ascended the stairs, she carried the rope she had discovered earlier in the gift box, her curiosity piqued by its unexpected presence. Let's highlight and discuss something my humble reader. Who's the second sherry? Is she a ghost? clone? doppelganger or an imagination? She must be one of the above-mentioned. She wasn't panicking about what she saw her mood and spirit were cooked and locked down in fear, thousand questions going on in her head. How will she survive in this new land? How will she feel staying over there without her parent? Sometimes life itself lacks answers to our questions. She ignored the second sherry and walked into the wall, half of her body was buried in the wall. Don't tell there's a secret door in the room, cause this can't be possible, how can a human being pass through a wall without being stopped "Kpon.... kpon.... kpon..." The church bell hit repeatedly, She did not need anyone to tell her what says the time, it was 12:00 am, it was finally her birthday but she's already in another world. She would love to confirm the clock but she left her phone in her room, she lowered her face, and walked into the wall. "Happy birthday to me!!" She mumbled as her body finally disappeared into the wall. Masbel turned around and walked back to the table, she stopped and looked at the stairs. The hood stood erect, and its hand moving on the keys, it was lovely, As she circled the table, her final turn led her directly to the wall. Without hesitation, her body effortlessly passed through it. The pianist continued to play the enchanting melody, captivating the audience's minds and hearts as Masbel exited the room through the wall but the pianist ensured that everyone in the room was swept away by the captivating rhythm and melody. Mr and Mrs Toes stood up, held each other hand, and danced beautifully to the sound, the move their bodies swayed gently to the right, creating space between them before drawing close again. He spun her around gracefully and then firmly held her by the waist, he lowered his body lock lips with her. Other members and visitors of Mr Toes's family danced and enjoyed their self. They were under the influence of the piano. "My love, Melany." Mr Toes in a very soft and loving voice said to Mrs Toes he kept her body very close to himself. "Heaven is for angel, that's why it's so beautiful like you. Earth is so attractive this is why I can't let you go. Your body is like a sky, so pure and lovely. Your eyes glitter and your heart magnetic." He lowered himself closer to her. "Stop it, Toe, you're 46 but you're still romantic like when we just met, i never regret the day i met you, and i still bless the day in my heart forever." She lock lips with him again. "Keep the music going, 'cause with it alone my world is nothing but joyous," Sherry's aunt said moving her body to the rhythm. "Dad, Mom," Chike murmured, his voice heavy with fatigue. "I'm going to my room. I feel sleepy," he uttered as his body moved languidly. His tired and hungry expression was evident as he retreated to his sanctuary. "You're free to go anywhere, my son." Mr. Toes lovingly held his wife's face in his hands, gently arranging her hair with a tender touch, his eyes filled with affection as he admired her beauty. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you ooooo... With a cheerful melody, Chike hummed the familiar tune of "Happy Birthday to You" as he strolled to his room, the notes floating around him like a warm embrace. "Mummy, I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I want to spend more time with Sherry." But her words seemed to fade into the background, overshadowed by the joyous melody filling the room. "Don't worry darling, tomorrow, no school for anybody, we will spend the entire day with Sherry," she said holding their hand. "Yeah!!!" They jubilate "For now let go back and sleep." She walked with them to her room. Mr Toes assisted Melany to her room. The visitors walked back to their room. Everyone was back in their room, the pianist lowered the sound of the piano, the light in the room flickered on and off intermittently, mirroring the uncertain rhythm of the music. As the pianist finally ended the song, the black hood, the ominous gift box, and the unsettling letter that Sherry had read earlier vanished into thin air, leaving behind an eerie emptiness that sent shivers down the atmosphere. The bulb switched off and the room was dark.
