“I will get straight to the point. I want you to go to the land of lost souls. I want you to get me something” neel said blank point.
“land of lost souls? What is that?”
“it’s basically a no mans land. No rules. No gods. No messengers. Basically a realm where no body cares what happens” neel shrugged
“you mean hell?!”
“No. Idiot” neel rolled his eyes.
“It is a realm which lies above hell but below earth. Hmm. How should I explain? Its comparable to human waste land. You see no body cares what you do or who you are. It’s an abandoned realm for wandering souls”
“and what do you want me to fetch from that realm?”
“I will let you know once you reach there.”
“let me know? At least tell me if I fetching some thing or a person” sahil asked.
“Its actually both. But not going to give you any names. Until I am sure you are going to do it or you are going to reach there” neel simply stated.
“now let me ask you something, Sahil. How desperate are you to do this?”
“it depends on what you have to offer. Will I able to talk to my mother ? or just see her from afar” sahil was still sceptical about the whole thing.
“If you finish you task successfully. I will let you have your body for a whole day”
“let me have my body!? What are you going to do ? Did you preserve my body ? or are you going to make one for me?”
“that.. is not your concern”
“why me?” sahil blurred out.
“what?”
“why did you choose me? I mean for this task?”
“because you don’t remember anything regarding your ‘after journey' to the world. That’s why we locked you inside your mind. You could me tainted soul or not. You see ‘after journey' from earth reveals the true nature of a soul. You are basically a blank sheet. Souls like yours appear once in a million years. And I don’t know what for some dam reason kaveri thinks it our fault”
“and what’s so special about no remembering about your so called 'after journey'” sahil questioned.
“you see sahil, souls either go to hell or heaven. And once there true nature is revealed through after journey. There names automatically appear in the books of heaven and hell records. Since you have no memory regarding your ‘after journey' your name is neither present in the books of hell or heaven. You are an unaccounted soul”
“if you go the land of lost souls. Neither the representatives form hell or heaven will question me. Neither of them have your name in their books”
“oh…” heaven and hell huh? He couldn’t help but wonder had he remembered his 'after journey' would he had gone to hell ? or maybe even heaven ?
“any questions?” neel nonchantly raised an eyebrow.
“How am I going to the afterworld? And how am I going to know you are going to keep your promise”
“we will draw a contract” neel smiled like a cat that had just caught the mouse.
