So now, as just now, the kid sighed, and we moved up and closed the office, and I took the essential things to capture the ghosts of that fort. So soon after checking everything, we went to Imu and Nona's house and rang their home's doorbell. Seeing us this early, they both were quite shocked because it was just nearly 11 am, and we dropped Imu off at 1 or maybe 2 am, so in just such an interval, we were again back to take her again. Seeing it, she looked at us and spoke while joking around, "Kid, you surely are trying to squeeze my soul, right? Just how can you even wake up so early after such a mess yesterday, and what about the free time? Even the corporate dumbasses have only 9- to 11-hour shifts, but you are here this early morning. Just how much do you expect from an old lady?" Hearing her words, I looked at other people and smiled apologetically because I never got the time to ever wonder about the rest or anything like that because if I ever felt tired, I always just smoked my soul out and drank to my limits; otherwise, I never took rest. Well, surely I never paid attention to myself, and I always used to work alone, so mostly only that dickhead spent time with me. So I never paid attention to anything other than spirits or my anger. In these past four years, this was the only year that I had such different things; otherwise, my schedule was quite fixed: smoke, eat, shit, and then get to capturing the ghosts, and then drink, and then repeat this cycle every day. So mostly I am not quite prideful of what I did in the past 4 years, but surely I don't regret anything even now. I did what I could that time, so no regret or guilt about it, but now having people around me surely feels different. Even if we are all just doing what our parts are, still it feels quite alive. So I smiled and spoke, "Hey, ok, we are leaving for Rajasthan, so do you wish to join us?" Hearing about a trip, this stupid girl, Nona, shouted and started hanging on her mother. "Mom, I will also come, as there's no way I am leaving you alone with this jerk and other creeps, so Mom, let's start packing!" Hearing her words, everybody started to laugh, and Imu started to look at me in a pretty apologetic manner and sighed. Seeing her like this, I smiled and spoke, "Ok, you can also bring her with you, and surely we will be needing people; however, we also have another person in our group, so if you are ready to travel, then surely we can wait for some time, but if you are not ready to go, then surely you can just rest in the car." Hearing my words and seeing my smile, she sighed and cursed me a few times and then told me to wait while she prepared for them to come with us. So mostly we also got her, and now this creepy ass, what was his name again, yeah right, 'Bona,' the master of arts!. Well surely his name and title were really quite dramatic, but thinking about his abilities, they surely are understatements, but this creep has really changed from before, as before he always used to brag about his smartness and how he could kill people without even doing anything, but now he was quite calm, and every word that was coming out of his mouth was surely sounding as if he had rehearsed that particular sentence way too many times. So this time even I was feeling out of money, and I was trying my best to avoid talk from him, but soon I felt an arm around my shoulder and a whisper, "So Adi, now we can talk about the stuff that we were about to talk about. Don't tell me you forgot what I was asking you?" Hearing his words, I thought for some time and spoke, "Well, the answer is still the same; I still don't know why life is so meaningful yet meaningless." Hearing my words, he sighed and smiled while speaking, "The answer is not same now, because I found answer to that question while I was trapped in that doll that you personally used to seal me but you know I am not the kind of person that would hold grudges from past, so let me enlighten you." Life surely is quite an interesting thing because it has all sorts of meaningful things, and there are many meaningful ways to achieve those things, and yet in the end they all prove to be meaningless despite the efforts you put in or how valuable that thing was. Some might be struggling to protect something that is valuable to them, or some might be struggling to protect the things that are valuable to the world. So here the real question arises: what if you find something that could retain its value despite the end? So what will you say? Are you going to protect that thing or protect the price that is needed for the thing?" Hearing his words, I suddenly felt a chill to my spine because surely these smart ass bastards always use such riddles to make you choose something that they want and this creep was also trying to get the answer he want from me but surely he doesn't know that people like me surely are not smart enough to change ourself or people around us for our survival, so I smiled and spoke " Well guess if you found only that answer, then I should be pretty disappointed from you because there was no way that you only thought about that basic thing only and even ask me such basic question but if you are asking me this then surely I will tell you that I am still sticking to my heart, I will only save the people that I want, I don't care whether they are meaningless or meaningful, if I want to save someone then I will even jump in deepest parts of hell and save that person but if I have to kill someone then I promise that I won't be leaving a single cautious around me and even drag the god out of his own temple by his neck or the devil from his hell!"
