Shivaay and Anika turned to look at Mallika who was standing there with a big smile.

M- We've already found a way.

S- what do you mean?

Shivaay and Anika looked at her in confusion. She walks towards them and showed a big and old book to them, which she was holding.

A- What's this?

M- This book was written by my grandfather. This book is about you. Everything about you is written in this book from the start of your life to the end of your life and your afterlife as a ghost too.

Mallika said to Anika and Shivika looked at her in shock.

A- What?

M- Yes. And according to this book, your death was untimely and it was unfortunate too. Your death wasn't meant to happen at that time and your lifeline isn't complete yet.

S- I'm confused. Will you tell us clearly?

Mallika sighed and shook her head.

M- Okay. Anika, do you know the place where your body was burried?

Anika meekly nodded her head.

M- Okay. Let's go there.

S- Let's go.

Anika looked at him worriedly.

A- But you're not well.

S- I'm fine. Let's go. You're more important to me.

Anika smiled at him and they went to the place in front of the gazebo.

M- Okay. We have to dig the body out.

Shivaay, Anika and Mallika dig the ground and saw Anika's body and shockingly it didn't decayed a bit.

Mallika sprinkled some magic water on the body and it rose up in the air.

Shivaay and Anika were shocked to look at the body flying in the air and a magical blue light was surrounding it.

Shivaay side hugged Anika.

A- What's happening?

M- I'll explain. As you can see your body isn't decayed a bit. That's because Grandpa put your death on hold.When Veer called him to bury your body so that your soul doesn't trouble him, My grandpa wasn't ready for this but he threatened him to kill his family so he did it. When he saw you, he knew that it wasn't the correct time of your death but your soul has already left the body and he couldn't do anything, atleast in front of Veer so he preserved your body with spells and locked your body in this house so that you can't go far away from your body. The day your wish for true love completes, that day either your soul will leave the world or you'll find a way to stay and go back into your body to complete your lifeline.

Shivaay and Anika smiled at the wish which has bound Anika to this planet- True love.

S- So what do we do now?

M- In this book, it's written that we have to conduct some rituals to get your soul back in this body on the night of full moon.

A- And today is Full Moon.

Mallika nodded her head.

M- We'll do this ritual today only. But there is a problem. During this ritual, it's possible that your soul leaves this world because it's not in our hands. It's destiny whether you get a chance to live that true love or not.

Anika and Shivaay looked at each other worriedly.

A- I don't want to leave this world. I don't want my body.

Mallika tried to hold Anika but her hand passed right through her.

M- Look Anika. I understand your worries. But this is not in our hands. Even if we don't do this ritual, there are chances that your soul would leave this world because the wish which was holding you here is completed. But if we do this ritual, there are chances that you'll become alive again.

Shivaay and Anika looked at each other. Shivaay hugged her and she hugged him back.

S- Let's take this chance, spooky. God can't be this unfair to me that he snatches the only person whom I love.

Anika looked at him with glossy eyes and nodded her head.

A- Okay. We'll do this.

M- Great. It's already 8 in the night. We'll start this ritual at 12 in the night when the moon will be at its strongest power. Okay, I'll go and do the arrangements. I'm sure God will support your true love.

Shivaay and Anika nodded with a smile. Mallika left from there.

Shivaay took Anika's body and lied it on the bed and covered it with a quilt.

Anika and Shivaay were looking at her body.

S- I must say you were very beautiful back then also.

Anika blushed a little.

Shivaay smiled a little and held her hand and made her sit in front of him.

S- I have something for you.

Anika looked at him in confusion.

A- What?

Shivaay slid a ring in her finger.

S- I wanted to give you this and to propose you but you disappeared just like that and I couldn't give it to you. Anika, I was always a lonely man, with no family and friends but then you came in life and made it interesting. I started seeing you as my best friend and as a person with whom I can be myself and who would never betray me. I started falling for you. I can proudly say that I've fallen in love with a ghost, my spooky. I want you to have this ring, whether you stay with me or not.

Anika's eyes filled with tears.

She smiled at him and caressed the ring.

A- But this looks so expensive. Where did you get that money from?

S- Don't forget madam that I have a job. Actually I spent my whole salary on this ring.

Anika looked at him in shock.

A- Shivaay?

S- Please. I wanted to give you this.

Anika nodded her head with a smile and hugged him.

A- If I leave this world, then please never stop your life for me. I want you to have your own family, a wife and kids and if possible, name one kid as Anika. Maybe, I won't be present with you but I'll always be there for you.

Anika said while tears started flowing through her eyes.

Tears started making their way through Shivaay's eyes.

S- I just hope that you never leave me. I want you to be my family, mother of my children.

Shivaay said while crying and Anika hugged him more tightly.

I'm sorry if you found this chapter stupid. Please it's a request, don't try to find logic in this book.😂😂

Anyways, how was it?😊😊
