Chapter 132 - I Miss You (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

How many months have passed since the last time I saw him?

Did he really return to his body safely?

Why didn't he call me if he had awaken?

The last time Uncle Ben called me, he said that Tom called him and he was on his way to see his nephew. After that call, Uncle Ben had not called me again and it had been some times after that.

What had happened?

Wait, is it possible that he got amnesia soon after he woke up? It could be! Uncle Ben must be feeling complicated that he couldn't call me to tell me the news.

I was stunned with that thought. Just like in those cheap soap operas in TV, when someone woke up from comma, that person would forget everything about his/her past life.

Was it true?

Then, would I be waiting in vain?

”What are you thinking?” Siji's voice startled me, successfully brought me back to my senses.

I turned around and looked at Siji who was standing not far from me. As usual, he was wearing white traditional costumes, with black headband around his head and black sarung with gold embroidery around his h.i.p.s. The clothes might looked plain but upon closer inspection, one could see thin gold threads was decorating the fibers of the white costume. All the clothes on his body was adorned with gold threads, it showed how important his figure was.

His clothes were not the only one that I took notice, apparently. Ever since I started to take a good look at those surrounding me, I noticed his hair.

How could a man have such silky hair?

To be honest, I was stunned when I finally noticed his beautiful hair. At first, he tied up his hair in a bun, that's why I didn't notice it. But, then he tied it up in a ponytail. His hair easily reached his waist even when he tied it up. Sometimes, he would put it in half-ponytail. And he had an amazing hair!

I mean, wasn't he a ghost? Why was he able to change his hair style? It was my first time seeing something like that. Wasn't any ghost stuck in their last appearance and not capable in changing it?

Of course, Siji laughed at me when I asked him. ”I'm not a mere ghost. I'm already the permanent citizen of mystic world. I have my own life there, my own house. I even followed the selection to be an adviser. The permanent citizens of mystic world live just like human. We are not wandering ghosts. When a ghost reaches a certain level, they can have a life. You might not believe it since you haven't stepped out from your house in the other dimension, but you'll be surprised if you see it one day. Haven't you ever heard about the ghost market? That's us, the citizens of mystic world.”

He also explained to me what it was like living in the other dimension and why I couldn't step out from the house in the other dimension. My current power or ability was not enough to hide my aura as a living person in that dimension. He said when I was powerful enough, I could either hide my aura or let it out since no one in the dimension could harm me. The second option, of course, could only be applied if I was more powerful than the first master, he said.

What a standard!

He also explained, even though they lived like humans, but they didn't have to have the same routine like taking a bath, eating, or even sleeping. Didn't have to didn't mean they didn't do it. Some of them still enjoyed the feeling of taking a bath even though it didn't do much to them. Some of them even enjoyed eating human's food. But they literally didn't feel hungry or thirsty towards human's food. They mostly felt hungry for energy, either positive or negative energy, it depended on the type of ghost.
