AN ALCHEMIST

She moved out while stomping her foot and a grin appeared on the man's lips looking at her who seems much annoyed .....................…..

After talking to him she was wandering around the city. She was not feeling anything- hunger, thirst etc.. and also she didn't even need a home to live. What do she supposed to do then? She had to wait till day after tomorrow. What do she do till then? She also can't be around that man as she don't want him to know the truth. She thought about it and finally decided to have a walk to the famous garden of the city.

She can walk as much as she want because the soul never gets tired. It seemed like she was not walking but flying as her legs are not even touching the ground completely.

She arrived at the garden soon. As no one can see her she roamed around without meeting anyone. She became sad with that fact but well a strange happiness is also with her that she is free to do anything now. She just have to wait for one day then she can get peace. She doesn't like the situation of being unrecognizable by the whole world. She desperately wanted to leave this world and see heaven. She is roaming around like a witch which she doesn't like at all.

If there is goodness In world, evil also prevailed. Sometimes you just can't recognize whether the people whom are you chatting with is evil or good. It's normal as you can't tell it by seeing their face. To know a person you have to spend some time with them. Giana doesn't know whether Sameer will help her or not. She don't know anything about him and what she heard about him was also not good. She took the step as she know even if he wanted to take advantage of her she is quite safe, he can't even touch her.

She started wandering around the garden with these thoughts. She passed through many humans but didn't get attention until she heard a male voice saying;

" Who are you? What are you doing here? Why have you come here? Do you need any help?"

Tell me! tell me! He started screaming.

She looked to him and saw him standing in front of her. But he didn't really looked to her instead was moving his head left to right in search of someone with alert. He was a strange tall man wearing a black robe with a chain of beads, long hairs with a bun at top, barefooted and a pot in his hands. Also a bag was hanging from his shoulders which looks very odd. She found him very different. She thought maybe he is some mad man. She turned to walk out when he said;

"Don't go, I can help you with anything. I can feel souls and I am the only one capable enough to help you. I am the only one that special. Believe me!"

She stopped and stared at him for a while. Then she tried to derive conclusions about what he said.

Is he really talking to me? it seems so. He looks weird. She observed the man from top to bottom and a thought struck her mind. He! He is an alchemist. Yes, he is an alchemist. The one who knows black magic, the one who knows well about ghosts or she also heard somewhere that they knew very well how to possess someone. In films and serials it is shown that they kept souls captive in bottles or jars. She immediately gulped in fear. Maybe he is here to capture me. Oh my god! I have to protect myself otherwise god knows what will he do? Once again he called her in a very desperate voice;

"Don't be scared from me. I am here to help you. Every soul wants the same thing to somehow reach the heaven and find peace. Believe me! I can help you with that. If you want to ask me something for assurance you can write anything with your fingers on this board."

By saying this he put his hands on a old rag like bag and put it down on a bench nearby. She thought to give it a try. She wrote;

"HOW CAN I BELIEVE YOU? AND WHY WILL YOU HELP ME?"
