Have you ever experienced having a weird phobia.
Like Ranna, she has a
“TELEPHONIBIA” ( a phobia of having phone calls). Ranna’s phobia came from an
unexpected and creepy trauma.
RANNA’S POV:
I’m Ranna, a graduating Bachelor of Secondary Education student from
NEUST- San Isidro Campus. I was on my way home after a long day at school, i am
very exhausted and tired feels like I just want to puke. I am hungry and feeling lazy
to cook at the same time that’s why I stopped at a 7/11 store near by to get some
food. While I was entering the store I feel like someone’s watching me, but when I
try looking for someone there’s NO ONE.
I grabbed the food that I want to buy, and put it in the counter to pay for it. I don’t
know why but I really feel like someone is watching me while I pay. That’s why i ask
the staff how much should I pay, the staff told me the price and I immediately pay
him, after paying I rushed going outside on my way home. I felt relieved when I got
home, cause I already know to myself that no one is going to watch me here. I take
a bath and changed clothes before I eat. While I as taking a bath, I still feel like
someone is watching so I immediately look outside the bathroom to see if someone
is there peeking. When I saw that someone isn’t there I rushed to finish my bath.
“Ranna, your just tired, hungry, and exhausted. Eat then take a rest, stop
overthinking that someone is watching you” I said to myself. After taking a bath and
changed some clothes, i go to the kitchen to eat the food that I bought while
watching a movie at my phone. While I was watching there’s this feeling that
someone is watching me again. “AHH! O MY GOSH!” I was scared and shocked at
the same time when my phone rang with a loud ringtone. I answered the call when
I already feel calm.
“heyyy girll “ the loud voice of my best friend is the one that I’ve heard.
“You scared me! And why are you so loud it’s already night, what do you need??” I
replied
“Why are you being so mad girl? Is there something wrong with calling you? Is there
a problem? Does something bad happened?” so many questions gosh.
“Sorry, this night is just so weird and creepy since I was on my way home. I feel like
someone is watching me everytime but when I tried to look for someone there is no
one. I’m just trying to convince myself that I’m just tired & exhausted that’s why i’m
feeling this.” I replied with a husky voice.
“Oh I’m sorry, you should take a rest. It’s been a long day for you, I’m here if you
want someone to talk to” her comforting words “ I’ll call you again, I’m just going
to eat okay? I’ll call after lovelots!” her excuse before ending the call.
I finished my food, and lay to my bed to rest. My exhaustion and tiredness are
slowly fading away. I close my eyes to feel my body more. Suddenly my phone rang
again, I answered it while my eyes are still closed.
“Your already fi—” I stopped when someone spoke
“When you answer the phone, follow through. When you disobey and end the call,
your life ends too” the man said with a creepy voice across the line
“ Who are you? How did you get my number?” I tried keeping my emotions just to
make him feel that I’m not scared of him
“ Ofcourse I have your number silly, I’m your friend too Ranna. I won’t hurt you
unless you disobeyed what I said” he said and laugh
“Shut up, I don’t know you. Stop calling me and stop bothering me, I’ll end the call”
I said angrily. When I was about to end the call I heard him laugh so hard.
“HAHAHA it would be my pleasure to k*ll you, after you end this call. Go on, end it
HAHAHAHAHA” he continue laughing and laughing. I got scared so I stay on the
line.
“What do you want from me?” I asked
“Just like what I said earlier. When you answer the phone, follow through. When
you disobey and end the call, your life ends too. You just need to follow all the things
I want you to do” he said
“What do you want me to do?” asking him
“Now that’s more like it. Are you ready for the first command Ranna?” he said
“No but if it’s the only way for you to stop, I’ll do it. So just say it!” I said angrily
“ Chill Ranna______ uhm I want you to cut one of your fingers in your right hand”
he said then laugh
“Are you kidding me!? Why would I cut my own finger!?”
“Because I said so. Remember I’m watching you but you can’t see where I am. Cut
your finger now or else you’ll d*e”
I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to cut my finger but I don’t want to die too.
“The time is ticking Ranna, CUT YOUR FINGER NOW!!!” he shouted
I don’t have a choice, I go to the kitchen and get a knife. I hesitated at first but I
need to do this. I cut my pinky finger and screamed, because of the pain while my
hand is bleeding.
“HAHAHAHA very good Ranna, your such a good girl. Scream and scream with pain,
oh gosh it really satisfied me HAHAHAHA” he said and laugh hard
“YOU SON OF A DEVIL!! ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR SATISFACTION NOW!? STOP
BOTHERING ME, GO FIND SOMEONE ELSE YOU CAN BOTHER!!” I said and ended
the call
For the past few minutes, I thought I was already safe but that’s what I thought. A
loud knock started at my door.
*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*
“OH MY GOSH!!!” I creeped out “Who’s in there!? What’s your problem!?” I
shouted. While I was waiting for a answer from the person behind the door, my
phone rang. I answered it.
“I told you, I’m watching you. One’s you disobey or end the call your life ends too.
So why don’t you try and RANNAWAY! Your life ends now” he laugh and ends the
call.
My door banged open, and someone is shouting for my name.
“Ranna! You can’t hide from me. If you just follow what I said, maybe your still safe
HAHAHAHAHA” he laugh so hard that makes me feel scared even more.
He continued laughing like a psychopath while searching the whole house and I’m
just at my room hiding and thinking what will I do.
“HAHAHA come out Ranna, don’t try to RANNAWAY HAHAHAHA” he said
I remembered that my house have a system that recognize if there is a anonymous
person at my house. I have a button to press for me to lock the house and make
him stock here. I grab my phone and the remote control of the system in my house,
sneaked into the window trying to escape. When I was already outside the house
he entered the room. But before he reach me I immediately press the botton and
the whole house has been lock and he’s inside.
After locking him, I immediately called the police to ask for help and to arrest the
guy. Past few minutes, the police arrived and caught the arrest him. The police told
me that they’ve been trying to caught this guy. He’s known as a psychopath killer
in this town. He already killed (5) five girl students and the way he killed them all,
is just like what happened to me. I’m happy that I survived but there is still a part
of me that scared.
I always ask myself
“What if, it happened again?”
“What if, I’m still not safe?”
Being traumatized and scared with that accident is not that easy.
When you answer the phone, follow through. When you disobey and end the
call, your life end too.
The line that I will never forget and still have an impact to me. Be careful, you’ll
never know when something bad might happen.
