A Ghost's Unfulfilled Wish - 1

Chapter - 1

It was a Sunday, Mr.John woke up by 8 in the morning he saw his kids were still sleeping; he got out of bed, got freshen up, took shower and went in search of his wife; she was busy in the kitchen he hugged her from behind and wished her good morning, she smiled and pushed him saying don't behave as if we got married yesterday, he said is there any rule when to hug wife and when not to hug? She said John I am not in a mood to argue with you, here is your coffee and I know you are here for this, he laughed saying troubling you makes my job easy, imagine if I had asked for coffee; you would have asked me to wait for 5 to 10 minutes but now within a minute coffee mug is in my hand. She said very clever now go wake up our little ones, I don't wanna be late for Sunday service. Sipping his coffee he walked out saying I will take care of that.

Within an hour all four of them left the house; John made sure his house was locked well, he drove his car and they reached church on time. After the service they spent some time in the church compound talking to few relatives and friends after which his children started troubling him to take him out for lunch; John was supposed to meet his old friends in the noon so he convinced his children that he would take them for breakfast and they agreed.

Mr.John was a perfect husband and a loveable father, he lived his life for his wife and kids, his world was revolving around them. After having breakfast they all reached home, his wife became busy in the kitchen and he was playing with his children.

It was already 1pm John heard his phone ringing, he looked around for his phone but he couldn't find, he said Jency where is my phone she replied from the kitchen, how would I know John? Check in the bedroom, he walked in and his mobile started ringing again which made his job easy to find his mobile. He answered the call; he said sorry Ajith I missed your call, I am getting ready sharp 1:30 I will leave my house and meet you near the bus stop let's travel together from there.

After disconnecting the call John looked at the clock, it was already 1:20, he rushed into the washroom to freshen up; he splashed water on his face and looked at the mirror for a second he felt someone's presence, he quickly turned around to check what it was but he couldn't find anyone, he convinced himself saying happens it's just an imagination, he took his towel wiped his face and walked out of the washroom.

John got ready and started searching for his watch, he asked Jency did you see my watch from the kitchen she replied it should be on the dressing table John, he replied if it is on the dressing table why would I even ask you? She said check properly, he searched again but he couldn't find, his wife came from the kitchen rumbling, how many times have I told you to keep things in proper place so that you need not search again, he said I am getting late search for my watch, she looked at the dressing table and said oh God is this not your watch John? He was surprised to see his watch on the dressing table, he remembered searching there twice it was not there, he said I searched twice but didn't find it, I'm sure you hid it somewhere, she replied now the blame is on me? Let it be I have to cook for my children you please carry on, she gave the watch in his hand and walked out.

John received another call from Ajith, he looked at the watch it was close to 2pm without answering the call he started combing his hair, he again felt someone was standing behind him, he turned around to check who it was but he couldn't find anyone, he thought his wife was playing some prank with him, he slowly peeped into the kitchen and she was busy cooking, he came back to his room looked around but he found nothing so he ignored and took his bike key, and this time he heard someone saying 'JOHNNN' he sat down in shock, he got scared and his name was echoing again and again in the room.
