"Girl- Friend, G-I-R-L..."
"Stop, I got it," Bryan said while Ashley slowly came in his direction and sat down on the stool placed beside Bryan's bed.
"You...um... don't remember anything?"
Bryan sighed, "No I do and I am just pretending to forget everything because I am mad and I am enjoying it."
Ashley chuckled.
"Why are you chuckling didn't you say I am your boyfriend, shouldn't you be sad that I am in this condition?"
Ashley stopped chuckling but still, there was a small smile on her face and her eyes were glittering, which for some reason made Bryan's heart skip a beat.
"I am sad that you are in this condition, but more than that I am glad that you are alive," Ashley said with a smiling and earnest expression.
Bryan cleared his throat and said, "Okay so tell me something about me."
"Oh yeah, so your name is Bryan and you are my boyfriend, and you are 29 about to turn 30 years old. You were born and raised in this country and went to Eastwood school, and..."
"Woah, you do know a lot about me...but what about my family?"
Ashley straightened her back before answering, "You are an Orphan Bryan. You have no family."
Bryan didn't know what he felt when he heard this from Ashley. Empty? Sad? disheartened? or maybe just nothing because he does not remember them.
"How did we meet?"
"You are a chef at a restaurant, and I used to visit that restaurant often. That's how we met and then eventually fell in love."
"Then how did I end up in this position?"
"You offended someone," Ashley said as she got up and took a glass pouring some water in it, her face was blank, totally cold as she spoke, "I don't know who but looks like someone was after you for some reason and you refused to give them what they wanted that's why you ended up like this."
Ashley gave the glass of water to Bryan, who took it without saying anything and drank it in one go.
"Do you know what they wanted from me?"
Ashley took the glass from Bryan's hand and kept it aside. "You didn't tell me, Bryan. you like to keep things to yourself."
Ashley sighed. "You should read for now. I will talk to the doctor and see when you can go home."
"When are you coming back?" Bryan asked.
"I am not going anywhere in the first place", Ashley bend a little forward such that her face was close to Bryan's, close enough to feel each other's breathing, "Last time I let you out of my sight you ended up like this, so that's why I am not letting you go anywhere without me Bryan."
Bryan didn't know but Ashley did know that Bryan's face was red like a tomato from this closeness. Ashley smiled a little before kissing Bryan's forehead.
"I will be back soon."
With that Ashley went out, leaving Bryan all alone with a read face and fast-beating heart

Amber was a good and friendly person. I enjoyed her company a lot as well as sitting in a cafe."Oh well, Bryan,""Hmm," I said as I took a sip from my cold chocolate shake"Do you always wander around with ghosts lingering around you?"I choked on the shake and started coughing. "What?""Oh sorry," Amber said and handed me a handkerchief"You can see me?" Noah said, and I had the same question.Amber smiled and said, "Of course, I can. I can see you from the very start."I looked at Noah, and he looked back at me."Well, you look shocked," Amber said"Of course I am," I said. "Are you also an exorcist or something?""I am a mage.""What's that?""In simple words, a magician, you know I cast spells and all.""Oh, I see.""Woah, you are a magician?" Noah said, and Amber nodded."Anyway, you didn't answer"I told Amber everything about Noah and he seemed sorry f

It was Friday, the last workday.Ashley and I had decided to go to the amusement park on Saturday, which was tomorrow, and rest on Sunday.While Ashley was at her work, I had come out to shop for groceries, since I had no car and the grocery store was quite far. I took a cab.Noah was with me as well, blabbering.He was a very cheerful kid with him, not a moment goes silently; he is always chatting, like a chatterbox.I can only smile, I can't interact with him freely and he knew that as well, otherwise, people would consider me mad.We soon reached the grocery store. I paid the cab driver and walked inside the store, picked up a shopping cart, and got to work.At first, I just roamed around. I bought vegetables and some spices, some beverages, some snacks as well.I also bought a large bar of dark chocolate as well. I just wanted to eat it the moment I saw it. It looks like I love dark chocolate even though I don't have

Bryan's Pov"So Noah," I said once I sat down at the table, "As I had said earlier, Ashley can help you go to heaven and you can meet your mom there."I said and Noah glanced at Ashley, who was very quiet eating her dinner, it seems that she was still mad at me."Right Ashley?" I asked with a smile, but she just looked at me with a straight face and gently nodded."See? She might look really rude, cruel, and arrogant but she isn't" I could feel Ashley glaring at me but I chose to ignore it. I don't want to be nervous in front of Noah."Will it hurt?" Noah asked, and I looked at Ashley, who seemed busy with her food."Ashley?" I called out her name to make her speak. She put down her spoon and looked straight at Noah,"No, it won't. You are a ghost and you don't feel pain, instead, it will be more like redemption for you.""See, it won't be tough"Noah became quiet and sat on the chair like an obedient ch

Bryan’s Pov.So I brought Noah home with me, but what I didn't expect was that he couldn't enter our home, at first I didn't understand why but later on I remembered that Ashley had actually told me that this house was safe because she had made sure of that.I think she had cast some sort of spell to keep the house safe from ghosts."Uwaaa!! why can't I enter??" Noah cried."Calm down, she is an exorcist. Remember? How about you wait here only?""Uwaaaahhh!!!!!"I covered my ears because of his loud crying."Just stay here, okay? I have some work." I said and walked inside the house while Noah stayed outside. Poor guy, I wished he could be reunited with his mom soon.I tried to spend as much time as I could with Noah like I ate lunch with him and talked with him about myself and got to know him as well."Oh, it's almost time Ashley must be coming back""Oh, I see...I want to hide my face"
Chapter 21.
Bryan's Pov"Sophie?" I mumbled. I have heard this name from Ashley's mouth several times, mostly when I see her talking to herself."Do you know anything more about Sophie?" I asked."She was a weird sickly girl. No one liked her and she would always stay sick."My head started pounding. I never expected all this, but it seems like Ashley is hiding a lot of things from me.Moreover, if this girl Sophie is dead, then was it her spirit Ashley was talking to? And if it was the case, then why couldn't I see her spirit? Moreover, why would she hide her?"Hey!" Noah called me, "You haven't told me your name.""My name is Bryan" I replied, "And Noah, I have to leave now."His smile vanished and his eyes became sad again. I felt bad for him but I couldn't keep him with me."Will you come back?" He whispered and almost pleaded, but I have to harden my heart."No, Noah...there is no need for me to come bac

Bryan's POV.Ashley had gone to work, as usual. Meanwhile, I was here standing in front of the building I have been curious about for a long time.'Sage Orphanage'It said, a tall building built beside a church. This place was run by this church, that's what I had heard.Without any further ado, I walked in through the gates. I could see small kids playing on the ground and some orphanage workers were watching over them.A guard approached me soon, "what can we do for you, sir?""Um...I want to talk to the director of this orphanage.""I see...you will have to wait for that. What's the reason though? Are you here for adoption?"Well, I can't tell this stranger the truth, and nor can I give him any vague, unimportant answer, so I just went with the flow, "Yeah, I am here for that."The guard nodded and gave me a register to fill the entries. I did what was needed and then waited.All I could see we
