Middle of Everything

CHAPTER 16 : Smoke

This day is different because for the first time I knew there is an answer.

"No, it is taken," Parisa replied.

"If it is then why there is no one sitting here for an hour now?"

"Because I am waiting for someone." Parisa said annoyed "And why you care?"

The man seated even Parisa didn't allow him. Parisa's face looks annoyed as the guy seated.

"Excuse me? Please I said I am waiting for someone so please go?"

"My name is Cedric and you are?"

"Please go!" she insisted.

"Okay, Ms. Please Go I'll go but be careful," Cedric said and his face turned serious as he looks at me. Then stand and walks away.

Parisa looks at him and exhales as the weird guy goes out of the shop. She sips his coffee as she feels the tension in her body. I can tell she is terrified because of a stranger suddenly approaching her. I am worried about Parisa but I know I have to follow that guy. Because for some reason I feel like I finally have an answer because for the mean I think he can see me.

I head out and just pass through the glass door of the shop. Before that weird guy walks out of the shop I able to see his light and for some reason, his lights have two distinct color, silver and blue. I look around and watch every light passing by in the mall. Some people I don't know has a silver light that is connecting to my wrist. But that is not what I am looking right now. Then as I head at the west side of the mall I finally saw a blue light with a silver light but as I follow. It suddenly disappears. I try to look for it again but then before I even knew it. Suddenly I felt again those feeling I felt at the shop. An intense pain that pushes me away.

"Why are you following me?" the voice said at my back. "Who are you?"

"I—" I can't speak for some reason and all I can feel is an intense pain. "Ple-Pleazase, I need help."

He looks at me as I try to reach for his hand. "Okay tell me first why you are following that lady."

"Who Parisa?" I said and suddenly the pain is disappearing as he removes the crystal bracelet away from his hand and put it in his pocket. I finally saw his face as my vision finally clear up. He is as tall as I am around 6 feet tall. He had dark curled brown hair, which was thick and messy. His eyes were deep brown with flecks of silvery light. His face is strong and defined, his features molded-in granite. He has brown eyebrows that slope downwards in a serious expression. He wore a blue and white striped polo and a black shirt underneath. He wore a silver necklace with a hollow triangle pendant. He also wore lots of bracelets with different symbols written in it.

"The Ms. Please Go? Is that her name?" he asks, "And why are you following her?"

"Because she is my wife—" I paused "I mean my fiancé."

He looks at me and then looks around and we notice that everyone in the mall is now looking at him. I remember that no one can see me because I am already a soul.

"Follow me." He whispers and walks away from the suspicious crowd.

I am following him for around 5 minutes now and still, he is walking. He then pulled out his phone from his pocket and put it in front of his left ear.

"So you are left-handed," I said.

"Who said you can talk?" he replied.

"Sorry—"

"Now tell me how did you died?" I realized that he is pretending that he is calling someone and he keeps on walking. I just follow.

"Well because of an accident."
