Ghost

a.       Ghost. It’s a very sensitive topic because many among us does not believe in ghost or the unseen and I have been wondering why? Because if we can believe in God and Devil, Heaven and Hell, why not ghost? This story came from a personal experience of mine, although it happen a long time ago but this teach me to always be aware of my surroundings. This event occurred to me when I was in form 3 around the year 2004 and the most bizarre about this story is I am not experiencing it alone.

It was morning and I still remember that I delayed my classroom chores to skip my class along with my partner, cleaning my class while my friends all on their way to the laboratory. It was just a normal day to me, after finish cleaning, me and my friend took the dustbin and carry it to a hole that were dug to throw the rubbish. We were having fun and chit-chatting when suddenly I look behind my shoulder. I saw one of my friend walking on the pavement behind our classroom, without thinking I shouted to classmate, asking what is she doing? Is she alright? My partner looked at her too. She only responded by just a glance and nod. I did not thought about her since I feared that we would get caught for skipping class so we quickly rush to the laboratory to attend the class. When it is over, my partner elbowed me and ask ‘where is she?’ Is she skipping class? I looked around and just notice she is nowhere to be seen, I was beginning to worried, so we went to see our class teacher to inform him about the incident, fearing something might happen to her. He responded to our report with a surprise look on his face and told us that our friend did not come to school that day because she has been in Penang since last week to care for her grandfather. My partner and I was flabbergasted, lost in words. How could this happen? We both saw her or whatever it is with our own eyes. There was questions began with ‘if’ and ‘maybe’ but none of them make sense and moreover I was so curious about the truth and kept asking myself is the event real? Does it really happen? What if my eyes were playing tricks on me? What if my imagination gets the best of me? I don’t want to be bothered by the event but my curiosity overcame me so ask my classmate who my friend and I saw last time. After listening to my story her expression was priceless. It was funny and scary at the same time because her facial reaction shows that she was as puzzled as I was, so in the end of our conversation I told that most probably the event was my imagination ( where I know it was not) so that she would not be bothered by it and I laugh it off. Up till this day she still has no idea that what had happened that day was real and most probably she would not find out about it since I made my friends promise not to tell her anything.
