Ch. 5Chapter 5


Cassey's books that were on the top of her desk fell on the floor many times even though no one was moving them. One of her classmates couldn't stand it and talked to her after she picked up the book that drops again.

"What's wrong with you, Cassey? We've noticed that your books always fall on the floor. Put those in your bag so that it won't bother you while you are writing, ” feeling annoyed, her classmate Lyka couldn't stand her.

“Sorry, ” she simply apologized.  She glared at Dindi who was standing near her and smiling.  It's because she is responsible for why her books always fall on the floor.

They both couldn’t explain why Dindi is sometimes able to move things even though she's already a ghost. Maybe it moves when her attention is focused only on one thing. Or maybe because she is determined to move something. Whatever the real reason why Dindi's ghost can move things only the creator of the world knows.

"Only when you agree to help me that I will stop creating trouble for you. Promise, when you're done to do me a favor, I won’t bother you anymore, ”Dindi’s ghost begged.

Cassey just kept writing and pretended she heard nothing.  Ever since she refused her favor, Dindi's ghost had never left her mind rest in peace. She always tails her wherever she goes.  In school, grocery, or even at the church she still bothering her. Sometimes when she can't stand it, she talks with her. And because people don't see her talking to anyone so they mistake her as a crazy person. 

Cassey ignores whatever Dindi said to her. Until she finished her class that day she didn’t talk with her.  She really can't do what she wants her to do.

“Wake up, Cassey!  It's time for us to go jog. Cassey! ”

Cassey ignored that roaring voice coming from Dindi. She still didn't look up even Dindi pulled out and dropped her blanket at the foot of her bed.  She pretended that she was still in a deep sleep. She is already used to her presence so she is no longer surprised or scared that she had a ghost company in her house.

Cassey opens her eye when she could no longer hear the voice of Dindi. She hoped she would never see her again when she opened her eyes. But when she opened her eyes, Dindi was still standing at the foot of her bed. She was just quiet and looked very sad while staring at her.

She was forced to get up and sit on her bed. She can't help but stare at her. Dindi's face is really beautiful even though the expression on her face is sad and tearful. Her messy hair that seemed to have not been combed for a long time and even had a pale face did not detract from its beauty. Of course, it's natural for her to look pale because she's already a ghost. But she's still undeniably beautiful whether she's alive or a ghost.

She was still wearing the same clothes she was wearing when they first met. Her bathrobe was not tied properly so she could see her healthy chest.

Cassey let out a deep sigh before
she speaks. “All right, I agree to help you and do what you want me to do.”

Dindy's eyes widened when she heard what she said. “Really?  You will agree to talk to Marcus and tell her and deliver the words that I want to say?”

Excitement was evident on her pale face when she spoke again.  And when she nodded her head to confirm that what she said is true, Dindi was like a child jumping because of happiness.

"Stop jumping, okay? And can you fix the tie of you're bathrobe? I already see your "soul."

Dindy's ghost giggle but apologized after. “Sorry. I’m just really happy to hear that you’re finally willing to help me. And also you can indeed see my soul because I’m already a soul, ‘isn’t it?”

Cassey just rolled her eyes. She just ignored her clothes. Dindi looks very happy right now. And at that moment she seemed unable to destroy the happiness on her face.

As Cassey stared at Dindi's face for a long time she noticed that they seemed to have similar
features on their faces. Just like their small but round eyes with long and thick eyelashes which look the same. Even the color of their eyes is also the same, the color of dark chocolate. They also have the same structure as their noses and the shape of their lips. If anyone looks at them side by side and closely, their similarity will surely be noticed.

She did not know why they were so similar even though they were not relatives. And another thing that troubled her mind is why of all people in the world, why she's the one who could be able to communicate with Dindi's soul?

Maybe that was also one of the reasons why she decided to help her. She wants to have an answer to the questions in her mind except that she really felt sorry for it. It seems that her soul cannot be at peace and she cannot cross over to the afterlife when she can't finish what she wants to do in this world. And based on the story that she heard from her, the cause of her death is doubtful.

If only Dindi could remember how she died then there would be no problem. But she's also like her with forgotten memories. She forgot what happened before she had the accident while Dindi forgot everything that happened before she died. And it seemed so important to them all the memories that they had both forgotten.
