Chapter 5: The Truth

He looked at me softly, and said: I am not a human, I am an iblis.

I gasped, looking at him like he had grown a second head. I was quiet for a long moment then said: can you grant wishes? I saw in a movie, the iblis granted three wishes to the girl.

He laughs, shaking his head: no I am not that genie you are talking about. I am an iblis, without any authority to grant wishes like in movies. I can only help people, or destroy them…..and………………I chose to do both.

I pout for a bit: why destroy?

He looks down towards his shoelaces: they destroyed me too, that’s why. But some helped me so I will help those who deserve it.

I look at him again: if i get hurt, will you help me?

He looked at me: I would burn everything just to save you.

I blushed slightly, I quickly looked away to hide the redness from my face but he had already seen it. He smirked slightly and then looks away.

Meanwhile, I think to myself- that means I was liking an iblis, for this whole time. Oh god! I hate my mind. Why would I think like that?!

He looked at me like he knew what I was thinking, and smiled. I got nervous again.

Suddenly he grabbed my ear and said: your ears get red, whenever you are nervous or whatever your mind thinks….or overthinks.

I was surprised, that he was able to find this out because everywheree my hair covered my ears most of the time, so no one knew if my ears are red if I get nervous or anything like that….but he saw it even though I never tied my hair in front of him or gave him any chance to see my hair, or I just don’t seem to remember it…………….maybe.

Flash forward, he dropped me at my house and said to me one more time: you heard that rumor there is a ghost in that hospital, who comes suddenly and checks a patient and goes anytime?

I nod, because I had heard that many times whenever I went to visit the hospital for a checkup, it was said that the ghost was a handsome doctor.

He looked at me: that doctor is me……now now……don’t give your brain that much information…..it might burst hahahaaha.

He flicks my forehead gently.

I glare at him for teasing me but deep down I kinda loved it too. We bade our good nights to each other and go to our own ways.

When I went to bed, I started noticing, after meeting him, I started sleeping more comfortably from before when I never even got sleep and had to watch tv till late night. I think one thing, I am 16, and he said he was 16 too………then how did he got the hospital job?! Is he really a ghost?! I thought he was joking….since he was in the teasing mode!!!!! What if he strikes me off too?!!!! What will I do??!!!

And with those stupid thoughts I went to bed, trying to end the day with a peacefull mind but my brain never listens to me……………………………..
