Chapter 43 - His Story (2) (2/2)

The temperature was not the same. Tom was cold, but Kunti was even colder. No, the level of coldness was different. Compared to Kunti, I thought Tom was slightly...warmer. As absurd as it sounded, that was what I felt.

”You might want to drink something warm to help you control your shivering.” Kunti suggested. This time, she smiled gently.

I nodded. My hands were still shaking, but I got up and pour down some warm water into my glass. Tom was trailing behind me, as if guarding me in case something bad might happen to me. His handsome face contorted in a frown when he saw my hands still shaking while holding the glass.

After my shivering calmed down, I walked back to my bed, ready to hear more. ”Good, now, the last is –”

”Is there more?” I interrupted, the idea of touching her again appeared in my mind but I strongly rejected it.

”Yes, one more. Don't worry, you don't need to touch me again.” As if she could see what's inside my mind, she laughed. ”Lastly, I cannot touch things; alive or not. I can possess people, but touch them..” She shook her head. ”Raw spirit, on the other hand, can still touch several things, excluding living person –but they can walk through walls like us, too. Ghosts like me, however, can move things with our ability only if we have enough power. Human usually calls us as poltergeist. Raw spirit doesn't have this privilege, of course.” She explained further.

This one I knew best. I saw it with my own eyes Tom touched things; even though not all the time. I knew for the fact that whenever I fell asleep after doing my homework and forgot to turn off the lamp, I would wake up later with a blanket dr.a.p.ed over my back and shoulders and my bedroom lamp had been switched off. It also reminded me of when I was sick.

To show what she said was true, Kunti floated to my glass, the nearest thing from her, and tried to grab it. Unfortunately, her hands passed through the glass. I followed her every movements with wide eyes and mouth opened slightly –which only I realized after everything had happened and Tom chuckled beside me.

”You should see the look in your face just now. You looked dumb.” He said.

Pursing my lips, I shot a glare at him. How dare he said I looked dumb?

”But, no matter what, even if you are dumb, you are my dumb.” He leaned his body towards me as he said the most cheesy line I have ever heard from him while smiling brightly.
