CHAPTER 4

''Those sentences were like thorns to me, I had never seen her so sad even when our mother died together that day, I was 14 and she was 10 but I was crying so bitterly and she was the one to cheer me up, I thought she was brave and kind of funny who never understood what situation we were in. But ... I was I guess I was wrong. The lady in front of me now is a totally different person rather than the funny and cheerful girl." in his mind.

He quietly gets out of the apartment and goes upstairs in his room.

* Meanwhile, in Seyra's apartment*

' You should not talk with him like that Seyra, he was your dad's favorite and we all know if he knew the truth he would have definitely came fast.' grandma speaks.

' You are wrong, he never cared about us. I don't want to talk about him. I am going to marry this week, please inform Saince and his family.'

' What are you even saying? Your dad has ....... uhh... and you....' she shouted.

' You heard, and that's final, besides he wanted me to get married early as well.' she interrupted.

' I can never understand you, just do what you like.' she went inside her room.

* At midnight *

In Mr. Melon's dreams;

' Mom, see I got A+ in science, Is this good enough?'

' Wow! sure it is, you have worked hard for it.'

' So, you will not leave , right?'

' No, I have to go, I can't be with you forever, I have to go.'

' Mom, please don't leave me.'

' I've to go, I am going Raaz, please start living life on your own.'

' Mom, No ! '

' Ah.... Ahhh..., same dream again.' he suddenly wakes up. ' This nightmare, I am so tired, what time is it now?'

He turns on the light and sees its 12:33 am on the wall clock.

' I guess I should drink some water.'

He gets out of his room and to his kitchen, pulls out water bottle from the refrigerator and goes out at the balcony.

"Mom, this is my 100 th case, wish me luck, then I will be experienced like you and will be able to find the culprit of your and aunt Jane's murder." looking at the stars.

He hears something, like someone's crying and finds out Seyra's weeping. He just stays quiet.

'' She loves her father that much, my father never gave me any importance so I never knew what father's love is like, My mom was everything to me, I miss you mom." he sighs.

'' Poor girl but everyone has to go through that stage.'' he thinks about Buddha's quote.

'' Wait, but I didn't saw uncle Macias's soul so that means he had no revenge or problem left on this world, that could be a satisfying demise then. However I miss him as well." thoughts embarked into his mind.

He stands quietly and after some time the sound down stair fades away. He then mourns for uncle's death and goes inside.

* In the morning *

' a silent morning has passed today.' he giggles.

He goes downstairs avoiding the Macias and into his office cabin with no spirits disturbing on the way.

' Ah, today is a boring day.' he yawns. ' i should have some more research on the gir ..... by the way what was her name.' he scrolls and flips pages of the file.

' Oh, what a pity, she looks young and beautiful; Ms. Aaya Stone.' he pities her.

He works at his computer for a while and suddenly stands up and proceeds to the ferris station.

He looks here and there and tries to find the soul of the young lady but at last downcast turns to get home. While getting out of the narrow street, he strikes with a person ( man; tall with brown hair, snub nose, big eyelashes and dark eyes.) who was holding a briefcase. The briefcase drops at the floor and some objects like injection syringes, medicine capsules scatter. He helps him to collect his belongings.. Then , the strange man takes his leave without even thanking him.

' What a strange man !' he folds his forehead in bewilderment.

To be continued.
