"Let's go Khushi." Arnav whispered. Khushi nodded, her eyes still glued to the spot where five souls had refused to move on.

"Yea… it's too late."

Khushi and Arnav sat silently in Khushi's room. Khushi lay in her bed tiredly, not sleeping, but staring vividly at the ceiling, Arnav looking at her carefully.

"Khushi…" he said softly. Khushi didn't say anything, but faced him, to show she was listening.

"Why… why wasn't I attracted to the light?" Arnav finally asked. Khushi stayed silent, in truth, she didn't know the answer. Why wasn't he attracted to the light? The man's voice kept ringing in Arnav's mind,

Or maybe you can't leave a certain someone behind.

There was no one he was missing. He had said good bye to his grandmother, his sister, everyone. But he couldn't forget when the man had placed his eyes on Khushi, he gotten out of hand.

"I don't know Arnav," said Khushi in a small voice, "maybe you do have something you can't leave behind." Arnav could hear the doubt in her voice,

"Khushi, you can't listen to what that man said." he told her, knowing where the problem was.

"He's right, how do I know what's best for ghosts? It's not like I've died before." Khushi said out loud, not caring that Arnav was listening to every single word she was saying, "This was all a mistake."

"Khushi, you told me only specific people can do this, you did this for so many years."

"I don't even know what happens on the other side!" Khushi said, ignoring his comment, "who am I to say what's on the other side when I don't even know?"

"Hey, you haven't gotten a complaint yet." Arnav tried to lighten up the mood, but Khushi didn't listen, it only made her feel worse,"You might as well leave Arnav." Khushi said, turning away from him. Arnav looked at her bewilderedly,"What?" he asked, he couldn't believe she just said that.

"I said you might as well leave. It's obvious I am not meant for this responsibility. I messed up enough lives, life and death, you might as well leave before I mess up yours." She said. Arnav had enough. He stood up from his spot on the window, and strode to her bed, and stood right next to her.

"Get up." He ordered. Khushi didn't move, ignoring him, "Khushi get up this instant." He ordered in a louder, harsher voice, which he only used for outsiders but since the beginning he had never used it on Khushi maybe because she is his savior maybe he the dead effect maybe something else, Khushi turned around, and sat up, leaning against the wall, not looking at him.

"Correct me if I'm wrong." Arnav said roughly, "Were you, or were you not the same person that found me at school mumbling how much I hate being dead? Weren't you the person who saved me from almost being exorcised? Weren't you the person who knocked some sense into me, that being dead isn't the end of all things? Were you not the person who helped send fifty some odd people to their next journey in life, bringing peace to them and their family?"

"Arnav… not all of them went-" Khushi interrupted in a quiet voice, but Arnav wouldn't hear any of it,

"Were you not listening to what I just said?" Arnav said loudly, "Khushi, all those people you've helped ever since you were 16, you've helped them move past everything. Without you, they could still be wondering, there could be ghosts in every god damn alley, and what could they do here? Just sit around, watching their family move on, watch their wife or husband die, watch their children die, their children's children die, and them sitting there, as young as the day he died? You think that's the right road for them?"

Khushi didn't say anything silent tears ran down her eyes. Arnav's expression softened,she is a really nice girl in his stay the time he spent with her he realised Shi is nice too nice for her own good he had never met her, sometimes he himself wished if he had met her earlier, leaving his thoughts he sat next to her,

"Khushi, you've helped all those people, you've helped me, and how can you say you're not meant for this job, when so many families owe you their thanks for bringing a closure to their pain?" Arnav asked softly.

Khushi didn't answer his question, but the two stayed together that night, and as Khushi fell asleep, Arnav looked at the delicate girl next to him.

If it wasn't his family, then why couldn't he move on? What was holding him down? He looked down at Khushi's peaceful face leaning on his shoulder…

Who was holding him down?

"No!" Khushi screamed, shooting up from her bed, cold sweat running down her face. The moon light beam filtered through her semi closed binds, her room lit up put the soft silvery glow. Khushi placed a hand over her heart, feeling the speed up pulse underneath her hand. Shakily, she slipped into her slippers, walking to her door, turning the knob and opening it, revealing the long, dark, empty corridor. Silently, she walked down the hall and down the stairs into the kitchen.

Not bothering to turn on the light to the kitchen, she took out a glass from the cupboard, and poured herself some water. Sighing, she brought the glass to her lips, taking gulps of water in one breath, her body enjoying the feel of the cool water running down her throat. Turning around, Khushi felt herself calm down, when a shadow caught her attention from the corner. The man in black stepped out, advancing closer and closer towards her in an abnormal speed. She gasped, dropping her glass, clashing onto the floor into millions of pieces, the water spilling onto the tiles.
