A story of a worker : who died and and become a ghost part 2
"It's been a long time since I've spoken to a human. Aren't you afraid of me?"
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of you. I came to you out of curiosity."
"Curious, about what?"
"You didn't become a ghost after you died like that. There is a reason behind your becoming a ghost. Maybe you didn't have a wish fulfilled. So your soul is not liberated and you are going around as a ghost to fulfill your wish. I want to know your wish and I want to fulfil your dream. "
"Didn't you ever think of me as an evil ghost when you saw me? Why would you, as a human, go to fulfill the wishes of a ghost?"
"At first you didn't seem like an evil ghost to me because I watched you overnight. I followed you that night but you were so absorbed in your own thoughts that you didn't notice me. The way I followed you around, a normal person would have easily realized someone was following me. But You didn't notice me even though you were a ghost. That's when I realized you don't harm people.
Secondly I am a human but my knowledge about humans is very less. So I want to know about human mind, human behavior. You are a former human,So I want to get an idea about human mind from you. Perhaps your soul has not been liberated because some of your desires have not been fulfilled. If you tell me about that desire, I will get an idea of the human mind. And if I can fulfill that desire, I will have an idea of the state of the human mind."
"Although your thoughts are strange, I understand that you are a good person. I will tell you everything."
I just gave a smile.
" I am a native of Pantoran, a neighboring state of this state. I came to pantoran 2 years ago for work purpose. I used to do farming. But then there was a terrible drought and many people died, many crop lands became unusable. So I came to this state. Purpose of working.Most of the money I earned here I used to send to my family.
I used to save some money so that one day when I go back to my home state I can use that money and I can be with my family again. But the irony of fate did not fulfill my hope. I didn't even see my family in the last moment of my life.
My money is also left behind and my family does not know about me. I will never see them again and never find that money."
"That means one of your wishes is to see your family one last time. But what will you do with the money?
"The bag in which I kept the money had pictures of my family. Since I died in this state, I cannot leave the state by myself. So I want to keep those pictures. If they ever come to this state in search of me, my wish will come true. "
"I will grant your wish. And I will take you to your family."
"But how are you going to get me to Pantoran?"
"The people of the palace who live here contract with the magical beast. The people of the palace contract with the magical beast for their safety. If they can contract with the magical beast, why can't it be done with you."
"Are you insane. Do you have any experience about this?"
"Yes I have"
"Tell me how you experienced it."
"I will tell you everything when the time comes."
I drew a magical circle and made a contract with him and this contract was successful. After the contract it became a ring. I took that ring on my hand. He will now wake up after 1 day because his spiritual power has been used a lot during the contract.
There are still 2 hours left in the morning. So I hurried back to my inn room. I woke up the sqit. He just sleeps all day.
He can understand me after staying with me for these few days. So I took him to that bridge. Then we 2 started looking for his money bag. Because he saved the money for his family, if he can give that money to the family then his soul can rest in peace. He will have no regrets. Maybe he has given up after searching for money for a long time without finding that money. But I will fulfill all his hopes.
