Truth (2)

The next morning 7 : 15 am,

The curtain is waving by the wind through the window, there is a small box left on top of the table.

That is the leftover food from previous night.

Arin slowly opened his eyes while rubbing them, after that he looked time on his phone.

" Ohh there is still time left "

After saying that to himself he then get into the toilet, while sitting on the closet he started to yawn.

" Did i forgot something? Probably not "

After exiting from toilet Arin then took his brush and paste and started to brush his teeth.

While brushing his teeth he suddenly remembered something, at that moment his brush fall to the ground.

Arin ran towards his phone and checked the banking application.

After checking that he pinched his cheek.

*Awch*

He is made sure that he is not dreaming right now.

He can't believe his eyes, everything that happened yesterday was real.

His eyes opened wide while looking at his account balance.

『 Name - Arin.

Account no - 23××××××××××09

Balance - 1000,000,000,000,000. 』

Arin - hahahaha, I... I... I am now a quadrillionaire.

He decided not to go to the class for today.

" Firstly I need to withdraw some money from the bank and give it to my parents. "

He then took his bag and head out to the bank.

On his way he saw a huge building named "Hotel Wynex ".

It was a great hotel but his eyes spotted something else, It was the for sale board of Wynex hotel.

Arin - why are they trying to sell this hotel?

After looking for some more time he left that area.

On his way he spotted an ATM machine.

" Well, i am pretty thirsty and hungry, why don't we try to withdraw some money using the ATM. "

After that Arin entered the ATM and put his card inside of it, then typed his password.

Arin tried to withdraw 1000 zerx. But the ATM machine displayed.

[ INSUFFICIENT BALANCE, PLEASE CONTACT THE NEAREST BANK. ]

Arin tried a few more time and then decided to look at his account on F* the ATM machine.

The ATM machine displayed his account balance.

『 Name - Arin.

Account no - 23××××××××××09

Balance - 200. 』

He can't believe his eyes, there is only 200 zerx in his account. What happened to his quadrillion zerx?

He opened his phone and looked at the banking application.

There is still the 1 quadrillion zerx.

Arin - what happened just now, did the the ATM had some kind of error?

I should better check with the bank.

Arin then came out of that ATM and ran towards the nearest bank in a hurry, when he arrived at the front gate of the bank the security stopped him.

Security - stop sir, stop. Why are you running like this?

Arin - i...i...i ne..i nee.

Security - sir take a deep breath and calm down.

Arin did exactly what the security said, slowly his panting stopped. Then the security asked him to tell his reason to visit the bank.

Arin - I want to check my account,i think there is some kind of error with the ATM.

Security - error? What kind of error.

Arin explained to the security what happened to him in the ATM, after listening to him the security allowed him to enter the bank.

Arin entered the bank, there are a lot of people in there, some of them are there to apply for loan others are withdrawing and depositing money in to their accounts.

The bank employees are all wearing light sky blue color uniforms and doing their work without looking anywhere else.

Arin looked around to find the enquiry area, he found that enquiry area in a corner and walked towards there.

Arin - Hello...hello ma'am.

The enquiry staff was a middle-aged lady wearing glasses, she looked at him through the corner of her glasses and asked to him what he wanted.

Arin - ma'am, i...i want to check my account to see if there is anything wrong with it?

Enquiry staff - And why is that?

" When i checked it on ATM it showed an error message "

Arin started to shivering he said that in a stuttering voice.

The enquiry staff looked at him once more and asked him his account number.

Arin told her his account number and the enquiry staff looked at the account.

After looking at his account balance she started to laugh, Arin didn't understood why she was laughing.

Enquiry staff shouted at him, " You begger. You wasted my valuable time to check this measly 200 zerx? When you asked me to check your account i thought you had a million zerx in your account.

After saying that she humiliated him infront of the people, Arin left the bank while holding back his tears.

On his way back to the apartment he passed by an alleyway.

But then there is a sudden voice. " Hello mister, can you please hear me about what I'm saying? "

Arin looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses calling him. He slowly get close to him and said.

" Mister i don't have money on me "

Middle-aged man : hahaha, don't worry boy i don't need money.

Arin became confused and asked him then what he wanted.

Middle-aged man : could you please listen to the things I'm going to say.

Arin : okay, I'll listen to you, anyway i don't have anything to do.

The middle-aged man started to laugh and asked him, " boy do you believe in ghost, spirits and other supernatural entities? "

Arin became surprised after hearing the question and then he replied to that man.

Arin : Mister why are you asking this kind of questions?

Middle-aged man : boy, answer to my question. Do you believe in ghosts and other kind of supernatural entities?

Arin : i don't know, maybe there is kind of things like that. But if you want an answer from me even i don't know the answer.

Middle-aged man : hahahaha, what a textbook like answer. Do you know everything that happened in this world revolved these supernatural things that our commonsense can't explain.

Arin : what do you mean by that?

Middle-aged man : let me finish boy, have you ever wondered Why some people had good luck and others have badluck , have ever think about why is someone's life suddenly goes downhill.

Arin : no why is that?

Middle-aged man : it's because the spirits and other supernatural beings, they will cling to you, if you pique their interest.

Arin : so what you are saying is everybody is surrounded by these so called supernatural things.

Middle-aged man : Yes, everyone is surrounded by them.

Arin : so then why are we not seeing them if we are surrounded by them.?

Middle-aged man started to laugh again and asked him. " Do you see smell ? "

It's like that if our frequency don't match with them we can't see or feel them but on other hand they can turn our life upside down.

Arin : so what would happen if I got attacked by one of them.

Middle-aged man : better hope don't try to interfere with them, if you happen to interferes with them then you better start to pray that the exorc's will help you.

Arin : exorc's what are those?

Middle-aged man : they are the people who hunts these kind of supernatural entities. There are good and bad people among them so be careful, also be careful about xeno.

Arin : xeno? What is that and so there is exorcists in this, are you saying those weird people who try to pretend to see ghosts are real too.

Middle-aged man : hahahaha, no my boy they are not, but among them a small number of those people are actually genuine. And xeno is a government organisation that is specialized in capturing these kind of anomalies. In their words every person who had a supernatural ability or a superhumans is an anomaly. But they don't capture every person with powers, they can't do anything about the families of exorc's.

So they capture those doing criminal activities. And remember supernatural and superhumans are different. So my advice is stay away from xeno.

Arin : why are you telling me this?

But the middle-aged man didn't hear him and continued his talk

" All the people i saw have atleast one spirit attached to them, but you are the first one with no spirit attached. It's like a veil of cloth protecting you from those "

Arin got up and said to that middle-aged man. " Hahaha, you are just like those quacks who doesn't know anything i wasted my time here " after saying that Arin turned back at that time the middle-aged man said " time will tell everything "

Arin pretended that he didn't listen to that.

Middle-aged man : Stay away from those guys, that i mentioned.

Arin looked back after hearing those shouting voice, but he didn't saw that middle-aged guy back there.

On his way back to the apartment he entered a small shop to drink a glass of fresh juice.

He ordered a glass of fresh grape juice,

They gave him the juice in less than 5 minutes. While drinking the juice arin's mind is wandering around all kind of places.

After drinking the juice he checked his wallet to pay, but he didn't have much money in his wallet he is short on 40 zerx. He only had 10 zerx in his wallet.

He called the waiter and asked him about online paying, he paid the price using online payment method.

While walking he looked at his phone and decided to buy a back cover.

He bought the cheapest one but still that thing cost 200 zerx. He didn't think much about it and payed the amount.

On his way he suddenly rembered something he then began to calculate the amount of money he just spend.

Arin - grape juice cost 50 zerx and the mobile phone back cover cost 200 zerx, so total 250 zerx but my account had only 200 zerx.

He then ran towards the ATM and checked the money.

『 Name - Arin.

Account no - 23××××××××××09

Balance - 200. 』

There is still the 200 zerx on account, Arin started to panicking. " Ho... how is this possible? I clearly spend more than 200 zerx but my account still has the same amount of money. "

He had some doubts, but before checking that he decided to withdraw the 200 zerx. He can withdraw that only above 500 zerx can be withdrawn by the ATM. And he is not that happy to go back to the bank.

He then go towards a clothing shop to buy some clothes and check if his speculations are correct.

He entered the clothing shop and the lady infront greeted him.

" Hello sir, how can I help you? "

Arin - i want to look for some clothes. So can you please select some for me.

Shopkeeper - with pleasure.

After saying that the shopkeeper show him some nice clothes with the price of 1000 zerx.

Shopkeeper looked at him and asked. " Sir is this fine with you ? "

Arin was sweating but he smiled at her and said. " Yes... Yes it's perfect "

He didn't know if his speculations are correct or not, if it's not then the only idea is to runaway.

While he was sunken in his own thoughts the shopkeeper packed the cloths and gave the bill to him.

The bill was about 1200 zerx, he asked the lady with shivering voice.

Arin - madam, do you accept online payment?

Shopkeeper - yes, we do accept online payment.

Arin asked her about which payment app is she using and she said. " We use the official zerxpay app "

After hearing that, Arin opened the zerxpay app and typed the amount 1200 zerx on it and then he entered his UPI.

The payment circle was loading, Arin was almost shaking at that time he bite his fingernails while the payment is processing.

At that time there is a big blue tick mark appear on his phone screen.

The payment succeed, only at that time Arin became calmed but still his heart was beating like crazy.

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper he left from there and start to walk to his home.

While passing through a flower shop he felt like someone is looking at him.
