Age nineteen Chapter twenty one
Kain's POVWe were standing in front of Anabel's grave. Cemented ground and moist loamy soil were all I saw."Isn't this a beautiful grave?" Sally's voice shook."Shhhh! Don't say a word, dear. This moment is sacred. I'm about to invoke the ghost of the late Anabel, so it would be best if you keep quiet, and let me do my thing without any disturbances.She didn't wait for me to breathe another word to her, she moved farther away from me. I waited until she was many feet away from the grave, and then I squatted by the side of her grave, on the concrete floor."Anabel! Anabel! Anabel!" I chanted. My eyes were shut, my fists clenched, and my knees were on the concrete ground.I could feel a vibration on my feet, I could feel something shaking beneath me.The book instructed me not to open my eyes, no matter what happens. I kept my eyes shut, and my heart thumped.The next thing to do was to chant the magic words that would awaken her spirit. I knew it was going to scare Sally, and I didn

Mr. Skanda's POV.I took her contact number and left. I made the mistake of leaving mine with her because it seems the woman has an eye for me.She dropped eighteen messages on my WhatsApp, ten of which I presumed were her best photos. She had dropped over six calls, all of which I missed. And before I was active, she had already begun complaining that I was thinking she is cheap."You have such good looks." She responded when I sent her Hi."Thank you." I wasn't interested in whatever she was driving. She told me that her husband was away, and so was everyone else. She added that it was just her son and her, in the whole apartment. "That's nice." I sent her after ghosting her for over twenty minutes.She went ahead to tell me that none of her family members would be back until a month.I gave her the same cold response.She sent me another selfie, that was a bit revealing. A good part of her cleavage was seen.I ignored the photo. She was beautiful, and she was giving me the care no

Kain's POVSally assumed that I wanted to use her as a backup plan, and still followed me to the graveyard.According to her, she was willing to die, to break the curse. She had always wanted to be a superhero, so she didn't mind sacrificing herself to save Kerah and the future of the Skanda females."I promise you I didn't have such plans." She laughed again. She was laughing and crying. She used her palm to wipe the tears off and then used her face towel to blow her nose.And after she was done, she burst into laughter again."Everything you have said is funny because you failed to know the true identity of who you have been dating."She drew closer to me and traced my steps away from her."Listen, I can read minds." Sally looked around the cemetery as if to confirm that we were all alone, and we were.She sighed and nodded in disappointment."You did think I was so naive?""But! But, why did you kiss me?" It was her first kiss. Why would she kiss me after "finding out" that I was p

"Hello, sir." I let go of Sally and turned to face him."Sinner boy, that's what you are. Aren't you both still in high school, why would you be out here doing icky things like this?"Sally and I shared a glance. She motioned for me to walk on without responding to him, and I obeyed her. Sally can read minds.That was one thing I had to keep reminding myself. No matter what happens, Sally can know what the person is thinking, so she would be of great help to me throughout this journey.We got to the gate and left without saying a word to him. He was surprised that we walked out on him, especially because we were too very respectful youngsters with very good records."You both are fools, you hear?" I heard him scream behind us, but neither of us turned back. Not even to steal a glance.We walked down the street calmly, we held hands. "So, if you don't find this Julianne of a girl's grave, there's no hope for Kerah?""Seems like it." I sighed. Two days had gone by, and I was yet to achi

Mr skanda's POVIt was a brand new day. It was nine days left for me to fix my mistakes, or forget about them.I drove in my car to Julianne's. The sun was still rising when I got to her place, it was a few minutes past seven. I rang the doorbell, and the little boy answered."Hello, good morning sir." He stood in front of me, still wearing his pajamas."Good morning boy! How are you doing?" My thoughts raced back to my conversation with his mother yesterday. She said he was deaf and dumb. But wasn't he the one who just greeted me?Has he been feigning to be deaf, and dumb all along, or was his mother lying to me? It had to be either of the two."Very well Mr. Skanda. Thank you!" He smiled at me. He appeared so comfortable around me.His mother appeared behind him a few seconds after he gave his response."You came earlier than I imagined." She giggled. Her long hair that I admired the day before was strapped firmly with a scarf. She was putting on nightwear just like my wife. I could
Age nineteen Chapter twenty six
Mr. Skanda's POVI stood from the sofa and stretched. I walked to the main door and shut it. And then I headed for the backyard. My heartbeat was fast, and I perspired. I was a nervous wreck. I didn't know what exactly I was scared of, but I knew I had a feeling that something bad was about to happen."Helloooo!" I screamed into Julianne's bedroom after I turned the knob. No one responded."Are you there?" The silence responded.I walked in. When I turned to my left, she was still there. Like she has always been.I swallowed and kept walking. When she and I had come here years back, I came to this bedroom with her. It was in this bedroom that we had that affair that led to the pregnancy. Her bed was still the same, the 32 inches bed, with lots of memories made on it. Happy and painful ones. The picture we took together after I won the track race competition. Her study table was intact, it wasn't dusty. Books were scattered on it. Her bed was well made. The abstract painting we both bi
