The Other Side

Episode 13

Julie completely understood how he felt, like who wants to be tormented by a ghost? Although she wanted to help him secure his life and whatever inheritance he had in store, but for now, he doesn’t understand. She watched him sit on bare tiles, questioning God.”God what have I done? Why is this happening to me, ok I wished her dead but I really didn’t want her dead…why is she tormenting my life now?”

He was completely ignoring her and crying to God. For a moment there she had to laugh.
“Are you serious?”
She had to question him.

He looked to her with red, tearful eyes.
He discovered she was still around. His cry went intense
“God she is still here ooo”
Julie couldn’t bear, she burst into laughter.
“Jack just calm down, I am stuck with you whether you like it or not”
She allowed her words sink into his subconscious mind before she continued.
“Don’t worry, it’s just for a few days, I would let you be, for now, I said earlier, your life is in danger, we have to work together, unless you want to be a ghost like me”
He was quiet now, he sniffed in and started to sit on his cushion, the suddenly realise that even God had decided to let this ghost hang around him.

“So Jack, what do you say?”
He looked up to see her close to him, he was still a little shaky but he composed himself, and with a low tone he muttered.
“You are the reason my mother died, you locked me up for days,and made me lose my contract, you called me trash…now I should work with your ghost? You expect me to believe you”

She stood up and felt his words sting her. His head was still bowed, he dare not look to her face.

“Jack listen, I am sorry for all that, but…”
“Sorry? Just sorry?”
He was becoming rational.
“Listen Jack, it’s in the past, Siera is out to kill you, don’t you get?”
