Blue Hour

Chapter 10

“Are you sure about that?” Ray asked, worried. 

Sun bowed his head. “Yes, I already tried many times but I cannot go back to the orchard. I can be away from you several feet away. Let me try again to show you that I am not lying.”

After saying that, Sun all of a sudden. Ray looked around and couldn't sense the presence of Sun. Then, a minute passed  and he felt some weird pressure around him. It feels like a string was connected to him and something. He looked around and saw Sun appear again on the couch. 

“I’m sorry, I tried but I cannot really go farther away. I feel like I am bound to something.”

Ray thought it might be the feeling that he had earlier, that some sort of force was pulling him in. 

He sighed. “Well, if that’s the case, I guess we have no choice but to keep up with our situation. So, for this, I’ll be setting up rules for you. Got it?”

“Yes, Sir!” Sun smiled, and gave a salute to him. 

The feeling that someone was watching everytime bothered Ray. He kept on walking back and forth, thinking of ways how he could get away from this lost soul. 

“Uhm, are you okay?” Sun asked. 

He stopped in his tracks and looked at Sun who was looking at him attentively. 

“Uh, I’m fine. Thank you for asking. I’m just curious, do ghosts sleep too?” 

Sun laughed in response. Ray felt dumb asking that question, but he was really curious about it. To think that he will experience the paranormal,he might ask questions too. Ray headed to his bed and sat down. 

Sun smiled at him widely again.  Everytime he sees Sun smiling, he feels warm and comfortable. He sure is like the Sun, and if he was alive, he could be a very warm person. 

“Honestly, I don’t know myself. I did try before, and it’s just like when you were alive. Closing your eyes, but there is no feeling of sleepiness.” 

“I see, I’m just really curious. To think that I will have an encounter like this.” Ray said and turned off the lights in the room. 

“Are you going to sleep already?” 

“Yes, I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Also, it’s already one o’clock in the morning. Good night.”

Ray fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. On the other hand, Sun just looked at him, observing the person in front of him. He thought that there might be a reason that he got tied up with Ray.  He had been here on the farm for as long as he could remember, but it was the first time that someone was able to see him and talk to him. There was an instance before that someone saw him, but got really afraid of him and did not show up again. 

He was afraid that Ray might fear him, because he is a ghost. Things were different this time, and he hoped that this will bring the changes with him.
