"Oh my God!" Ryan screamed with fear when he noticed the birds without head but Jessica quickly covered his mouth with her hand and pulled him back. Ryan was scared as hell. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

As soon as Ryan shouted, the birds started to fly away.

"I think they heard us." Jessica said.

All of them flew away. Anita turned and walked towards us.

"I'm sorry. He was just shocked." I apologized.

"It's okay but," Anita said and took a pause.

"My umbrella won't have enough powers for the next 24 hours. And I will be invisible to all of you." She explained.

"Do we have other way to communicate with you without your umbrella?" Jessica asked.

"No. I don't really know." Anita replied.

"Okay stop." Ryan interrupted.

"What is this? Those birds?" He questioned, still traumatised.

"They are the yellow birds in the legend." Anita said.

"Where are their heads?" Ryan yelled.

"Oh. I don't know. They were created like this." Anita replied.

"What on earth. Twan! Open your eyes dude! This girl is dangerous. Let's get away from here." Ryan said.

He still had fear written on his face.

"Ryan. Nothing will happen to you and I'm not dangerous. In fact I cannot even hurt you because I need your help." Anita said.

"Yeah she has a point. Stop being a freaking coward now." Jessica teased.

"I'm with you only because of Twan." He blabbered.

"Thank you Ryan." Anita sighed.

"It's getting late now. We should go home otherwise our parents would worry." Jessica said.

"Yeah but we should plan something to help Anita. She doesn't have so much time." I explained.

"Yes. Please think of something." Anita requested.

"Why don't you have enough of time?" Ryan asked as he raised one of his eyebrows.

"Because of my umbrella. It has an expiry date you know." She said.

"Can you elaborate?" Jessica asked. She was still fascinated.

"Normally after death. The dead person has 40 days where he can visit his family. But the latter won't see him or hear him. During these 40 days the family of the dead one perform rituals in the name of the departed soul. After these 40 days, the soul of the dead person will either taste heaven or hell and he won't be able to get back on earth." Anita explained.

"But what will happen in your case?" Jessica asked.

"In my case, I will be stuck between Earth and the other world. More precisely between the Earth and the sky." She continued.

"Which type of place is that?" Jessica asked.

"I don't know. I haven't gone there yet. I don't think it will be nice." Anita said as her voice trembled.

"How many days do you have?" I asked.

"4 days. She replied with worry on her face.

"That's too little. How can we help you in such a short time.!" Ryan exclaimed.

"Ryan stop freaking us like this. We will find out something." Jessica shouted at him.

"I know. Flo... I mean Anita. Do you know the psychiatrist who consulted Brie? We can make him divulge everything." I said.

"Yeah this must work out!" Jessica exclaimed.

"But where can I find him? I don't know his name and address." Anita said.

"Maybe Brie remembers. Or you can search in your father's room. You can find something." Jessica explained.

"Yes I can find his number in my father's room. Wait here. I'll go and and get them." Anita answered.

"No. We should go home right now. Mom and dad will ask too many questions. Let's meet here itself tomorrow." I said.

"Yes you're right. Anita, try to get the number or address, we will talk to the psychiatrist tomorrow." Jessica said.

"Okay. I will." Anita replied.

"Bye. Take care." I said as we turned to go home.

"Bye." I heard Anita saying.
