The Grave's Temptation

Chapter 12

"What are you saying?"Zuri removed her hands and then asked him with wonder." How do I know this is my last day?"Zuri asked.

"This is the nature of human. They know everything yet they remain ignorant. They never want to understand the meaning of life untill the day they die.They know they will die but everyday they try to refuse this biggest truth.And it is also your reality. Nobody in the world know the value of things until these things disappeared. He gets what he doesn't want and when he wants he never gets." The boy said.

Zuri only remained silent and stared at him."Why me?There are thousands of people who want to die.They aren't' dying. Their souls are dying gradually.They are living corpses. Can't you just take them with you?"Zuri shouted.

"It's their exam.If they can pass this they will be rewarded. Everyone faces hardship in their life.And when they pass it they get their reward.So don't worry about them.They will be rewarded soon if they can pass it." The boy said.

"Why you are so cruel?I don't wanna die.Just leave me alone.I just want my parents, my brother,my friends." Zuri shouted.

"This is your destiny.You can't change it.They're living according to their destiny.But it'll finish one day like yours.They'll forget you day by day.So don't think about them." The boy said.

Zuri only glared at him."He is right.If I die they'll forget.They'll forget everything about me."Zuri thought while tears are drooping down.

"But you have 3 hours.You can meet anyone you want." The boy said."W-What?How?"Zuri asked in shock."When people sleep,They make a connection between this world and that world.So you can talk with them like that.They will think they are dreaming. They can't find out you are dying until they see your dead body in reality."The boy said.

Zuri swallowed hard."Do I really have to go?"Zuri asked in teary voice."Yes.Not only you but also all of the people living in the world."The boy replied. Zuri stopped crying and stood still with a sad face.She grinned and said,"What a sad reality of mine.Where will I go?Heaven or Hell?"Zuri asked.

"You'll know only when you die."The boy replied." Okay.I am already dying. So if I care about it now this will be useless. I don't have any time for this."Zuri said while grinning.

"So then tell me do you want to go somewhere?" The boy asked."I want to see Julia.I have to say sorry to her."Zuri said."Okay.Close your eyes."The boy said.

Zuri closed her eyes.

After a second.......

"Now open." The boy said.Zuri opened her eyes and saw she is in Julia's room.She looked around everywhere and suddenly she noticed Julia is in deep sleep.Zuri grinned with a sad face. Tears started dropping from her eyes.

"My dear.I will never be able to see you. You were my best friend always. I don't wanna lose you.But I have to go even if I don't want to.Be safe.Live your life happily. I hope you will forever be happy.Please don't miss me when I will not be with you.Just remember I am waiting for you." Zuri said and started crying.

Zuri went closer to Julia and whispered in her ear,"I am sorry.I have to leave now.I will be waiting for you to come to me.Just live happily. "Zuri said.

Zuri looked at that boy and asked," How much time I have now?""You have 2:30 minutes.""It likes I only have 1 second."Zuri said and grinned.

"Can I go to Ayron's house?" Zuri asked."Yes.Just close your eyes."The boy said.Zuri again closed her eyes.

Zuri left Julia's house.Julia suddenly opened her eyes.She sat up in her bed."Zuri!"She mumbled while thinking about Zuri.She fell in deep thought. "Did she come here?Why she told me that she is leaving?" Julia thought.
