Chapter 4 – Just for one second
With all the strength and might left in his body, John got up . He approached the man reading the newspaper.
“S – Sir.” He said, his voice struggling to find common ground “May I please h-have the n-n-newspaper?”
The man a little baffled by his question asked “Why?”
“Sir, please.” John said his voice trembling , tears falling from his cheeks
“My wife might...
My wife might....”
John fell to his knees once again and said
“ DIE”
“ What?!” The man exclaimed
“Please, sir.” John cried
“Here, it is all yours.” The man said understanding what the man must be feeling.
John glared at the news paper and begun to smile.
“Thank you!”
John went to the page which showed the bus conductor’s picture. Him dead and surrounded by a pool of blood
John begun to carefully examine the newspaper page knowing there will be some clue in the newspaper.
He noticed, beside the quote there was a very small printing ..
LUCAS, I will find you. But first, I must rip off all the evidence. What you have done to me shall not be done by any man on earth and I will make sure you REPENT
“Lucas, I will find you. But first I must rip off all the evidence. What you have done to me shall not be done by any man on earth and I will make sure you repent – What does this mean?”
John then made eye contact with a yellow building...he reached home! John begun to sprint – his sweat was mixed with his tears.
He finally came near there door. The quote in the entrance made him stop for a minute.

To make memories and to always stay together, is what we promise.
John knew he had no time to spare and he opened the door. He closed his eyes fearing the worst but there he saw her! His beautiful wife! She was... alive.
“Well, well, well. Why did you come home? If I am that uninteresting to you then just leave me. No need to try to flatter me, hun.”
“ Taj – look – “
“Crushed. Feel lied to. You told me oh rather...promised me that the first thing you would do when you come back is come home. It is 6 pm. I have been waiting for you all day.”
“Taj, please just listen to me - “
“ What will I listen. You got late from work? No! I will not take those kind of excuses.”
“Please hun.”
“What ple – “
“ Just for one second.”
This was the spring of the cordial bond that had developed between Taj and John. When John and Taj first met, John immediately was perplexed and fell in love with Taj’s style of talking and treating people. Unlike other girls, she did not just want attention, but true love. When John first attempted to talk to Taj, he had stammered
“T –Ta-a-a –j-j –“
“What do you want? Leave me alone.”
“....may you please listen to me...just for one second “
Taj turned around and listened to John’s views. Finally, they begun to date and the spring of new love had formed between the two.
“ Look. Honey. A lot is going on. You could say a ..”
“a?”
“ ghost is trying to ruin our lives....and...she may kill both of us”
