79 4.3 Pornsak... The Narrator with a Third Eye (1/2)

”Hello HunNa, my name is Pornsak and I am the Narrator for SPI that we would begin doing the documentary with the assistance and guidance of your photo and videography team. Have you done any coverage on this type of documentary before...?”

I extended my hand for a handshake and invited her to take a seat and make herself comfortable as she spoke softly. I looked at her closely. She must be around 19-21 years of age and maybe had just recently finished high school and had joined the line of broadcasting.

She looked simple with just a thin shade of pink on her lips, no makeup but still looked stunning enough for her age. She had shoulder-length straight hair and was pulled back behind her ears. She wore a simple short sleeve white blouse over her denim jeans and wore flat platform shoes.

She had rather a lithe figure and maybe half-head shorter than me. With a school girl kind of look, it would surely make heads turn and in the broadcasting industry, face-value sells better. I don't look too bad either in this body... Hahaha.

After her short introduction to me, I answered her questions about my experience with the type of work she does. I explained to her that I have had first-hand experiences before.

”Oh... We are so alike. I too had a Third Eye and from what I see in you; you are trusting and dependable. I can see you had many years of experience even though you are just a few years older than me. You had suffered some difficult journeys in your present life since your past life is much more... How shall I put it... More colourful?”

Oops... That's not a Third Eye but something like a soothsayer kind of eye. The kind that sees deep into one's eye and tells the past rather than the future. If she looks too deep into my eyes I'm sure she gonna fall in love with me *ahem* find out my past life as Sam Mulder and not the present Aroon Chevapratnadumrong.

I glanced away to avoid her piercing gaze and replied, ”Ah... Yes, you can say it is colourful while being able to go to places and talk to all levels of the audience. As for my Third Eye, it's a different kind as I can see unsettled spirits roaming around during the feast of the Hungry Ghosts et cetera.”

”That's why I was assigned as a Narrator and together we both will discover the truths behind some unsolved gruesome mysteries that shroud our community for years. You should know what I mean by those thumping sounds in the middle of the dark...You not scared are you...?”

”I am more afraid of humans rather than a ghost. An entity is just an entity that can't rob your wallet, pierce a knife through you or push you against incoming traffic. At most, they can scare you around unsuspecting corners or distort your spiritual being. Other than that... Maybe we can interview those entities if they are willing to do so... ”

”Ah, you have read about the part of interviewing them. The SPI team have gadgets to record what they are saying even though normal human ears can't hear them talking, some infrared gadgets to capture the cold and warm differences in the air when they appear plus a small electronic gadget to records spikes of EMF.”

”Yup, Ms Pornsak... I've read through and understand the field of work the SPI are covering and also a little bit about you. Maybe after all this work has been completed we could have dinner sometimes?”

I joked but in the meantime tried to put both my charm and charisma into action. Who knows I might score with this Narrator even though we have met under less than 30minutes and chatted like a long lost good old acquaintance.

”Sure, sure... Dinner invitation has got no problems with me. I am from ChiangRai originally and had come here on project assignment with the SPI. I am now staying at the rented apartment of the team as well. They are quite a joyful bunch... Have you met them yet?”

”Nope, but I think it's best to know them soon before we embark on this documentary. By the way, how many unsolved mysteries are you going to uncover? Would it involve the police and how long have these cases gone cold?”

I inquired since I knew the police would normally close the file and chuck it in some basement never to be resurfaced again unless the relatives would pay some money to unearth the evaluation and prognosis of those cases. Normally these dead-end cases would be shut forever after 3 months of non-progress.

”Some cases were fresh... Somewhere dated a few weeks ago while most cases were considered cold and almost forgotten that they became an urban legend itself. It is worth discovering and uncovering their events... Not forgetting that we both have the Third Eye and mine is more refined to look back into the past as well as the ability to communicate with them through a simple seance. We don't even have to add a Buddhist Monk among us to assist unless.....”

”Unless what, Ms Pornsak...?”

Two bottles of green tea that were bought earlier by my office colleague was brought in and placed on the table. I placed one in front of her and invited her to drink. She took it and unscrewed the top and inserted the straw in and took a short sip of the cooling beverage and continued where she had left.

”The case is too heavy for me and I need their assistance as well... Like such cases of extremely violent death that neither the spirits had peace on earth and wishes to seek revenge... That's the kind of cases we would expect, HunNa...”

”I understand, let me have the list of cases that you wish to documentary from the earliest date to the latest one and mark out in stars from 1 to 5 on the intensity and complexity of the cases that you will be documenting. I would expect full integration with this documentaries and hope to work out more than a working relationship with you. In fact, I believe when two persons with extraordinary abilities work together as a couple, the results that could achieve would reach a higher threshold.”

*Ahem* working up my persuasion skills this time and it worked as she smiled broadly at me with a twinkle in her eyes and a slight blush in the face. Added with the twiddling fingers of her hands indicate that she could have some thoughts of this Chief-in-editor in front of her already. Haha.

”Don't need to call me using honorific since we are going to work together closely, just call me Aroon instead of HunNa.”

”And you can drop the Miss and call me Porn”

I smiled as a naughty thought passed my mind. I speak Porn, I meet Porn. I see Porn and later I'd be doing Porn. Hahahahahaha. Sorry ha, Pornsak for making fun of your commonly Thai girls' used name in this fictional series.
