🕒 Wednesday, 3:45 AM

📍 Pangsapuri Sri Penara, Cheras, KL

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaa4kEmmTp

I saw a double-storey house. It was night.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWyC7nYJoL

In the blink of an eye, I was inside.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pn2wZnQpv

A diary sat on a wooden table, a pen resting beside it. A small box was placed on top of the open pages, keeping them from turning.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQui34rNuC

Something was written there… but before I could read it, a mirror on the wall caught my attention. It was far, but I moved closer.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGAwbZ27H6

Then I saw it.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRGgOYZoDH

A woman’s legs were dangling—shaking. She had hanged herself from the ceiling fan. She wore brown pants and a purple shirt. On her right ankle was a pigeon tattoo.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPCtCGS9BN

I stood frozen.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmyEMJJLGn

Suddenly, arms hugged me from behind. Tight. Unmoving.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MAlRRoFp

Both arms wore golden bangles.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29U3IpE0I

I couldn’t breathe.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M82YrISf2

And then… I woke up.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuHEwZ5Wtn

My body was drenched in sweat. My heart pounded like a war drum. My throat felt dry and my entire body weak, as if I hadn’t drunk water for days.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyMuhjPE6c

Luckily, I always kept a jug beside my bed.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht8nRbEsSy

I drank the entire thing in one go.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2eWwhneHS

Then I washed my face and sat at my small working table. I picked up my sketch pen and notebook, and started drawing what I saw.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86zRhsQUZ

This wasn’t the first time.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXbufn2ijl

It started when I was 17.

🌘 The Beginning

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3G1PMKL9

My first dream was about a middle-aged Chinese man—stabbed to death with a knife. I thought it was just a dream… until the next morning.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP9HVmrJGL

I saw him.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVtLuNLmIB

Across the road.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubEQpxjyzt

Then, inside my school bus. He was sitting behind me. Staring.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KadL5h6tJ

I asked my close friend Martin, who sat beside me, “Do you know that guy?”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguaU5JDU7i

He looked confused. “Ha ha ha, nice one bro. But today’s not the day for your pranks.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6sXNpUKMM

I turned and pointed… but the man vanished.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sT4Wf5UHt

That moment broke something inside me.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteyf59nDY3

I told Martin and our other close friend, Jegan. Neither believed me.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKH7oCr2a3

Jegan thought it was hallucinations, probably caused by fear and lack of sleep. He read about it in a book from the school library. I was almost convinced…

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK39cmNjtDY

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwgKo4byCS

That evening, my parents had to take my sister to see a doctor. I stayed home to finish schoolwork.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWEGqG6O92

After dinner, while watching TV, the power suddenly went out.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SdYRTUKY2

I grabbed my phone and turned on the flashlight. I checked the neighbor’s houses — they all had electricity.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITCoZQBHiS

Strange.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHvMFPwpIl

I went to the main switch. It was turned off.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArbnnptCfN

Even stranger.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX303Qbe4hl

I switched it back on, and power returned. Just as I walked back to my food… the main gate creaked open.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxHQt3zV1I

I rushed to the window. No one.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN9QjBFINP

I stepped outside, closed the gate, and came back in.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jkyOAK6b

Still suspicious, I watched from the window.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKO09HySqM

The gate lock clicked open again… and the gate slowly swung wide.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EIesizKA7

My body froze.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivHF9EE5Mr

I felt a presence behind me.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3OTIsgGx

I turned around…

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmECUN0NN

It was him.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hPq6fsLH

The man from my dream. He stared at me with the same lifeless eyes.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM75zD3gcJY

I fainted.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwxVVBQl7C

When I woke up, my parents were beside me.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqeWw7liUm

I told them everything.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9HyWSpYQ

They didn’t fully believe me, but they felt something strange too.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ64KX55INf

The next day, they brought me to Kallumalai Temple. While we were eating ponggal, I noticed a man staring at me.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl5uHmaZCY

An old Siddhar, wearing Rudrakshas, sat meditating in front of Lord Shiva. His eyes were intense, powerful. Unshakable.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2JcNmjvcO

He called me over.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQin1xJJwF

The priest said he was a powerful Siddhar from Rameshwaram, India. Known for his divine blessings.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1sX0grJGd

My mother and sister followed me to him. My father stayed back. He never believed in spiritual things.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlHycdew1R

The Siddhar placed his palm on my head and chanted a few mantras. Then he gave my mother a Trishula pendant.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhowQjN00b

“Let him wear this,” he said. “It will protect him.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH63G9wusi

That night, I had a dream again.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpCnZ6skRc

But this time… it was different.

🌺 The Sacred Dream

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0I1gldOfj

I was standing in a grassland filled with vibrant flowers. A beautiful pond shimmered nearby, filled with lotus flowers.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe2NLru51K

Next to it stood a massive tree with golden leaves.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRfV3dVFX

Under it, a Siddhar sat, his body glowing with calm energy. His face was a bright light—I couldn’t see it clearly.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN7NpAl1Lg

He looked at me and said:

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqvDnyE4dS

“You are the Key.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEzxJaz1lN

I woke up with a peace I’d never felt before. Strong. Healthy. Alive.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV96gVuECAg

At school, I told Martin and Jegan everything.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGBXherYSG

Jegan had an idea.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmYkdpEyHn

“We go see the Siddhar. Let’s ask him ourselves.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvhad2ptY4

Martin agreed.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oLijEyYaZ

When we returned to the temple, the Siddhar opened his eyes before we even spoke.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w7sUbX5fq

“I knew you’d come, Yugan. Jegan. Martin.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmurF2l3Yq

We were stunned.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4oFsJOaKA

“How do you know our names?” Jegan asked.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJvob2lcx

He smiled. “I know all. I see all. It is Lord Shiva’s gift. Hara Hara Mahadev.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq75xclU9c

I told him everything.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkHSmTtzBU

He listened silently and then said:

⚖️ The Truth Unfolds

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC28VcFtBcn

> “This world hides many secrets, child.

Some souls cannot rest. Trapped by pain, betrayal, or unspoken wishes.

You have been granted the power to see and hear them.

Some will want revenge.

But your role… is to help them find justice, not vengeance.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyaBeq3hsd

Wear the pendant. It protects you. Bad spirits cannot touch you.

Listen to the good souls.

Help them.

Heal them.

And trust… always trust your heart.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSwF68rGi

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoztHknOw7e

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFftvBVxAaD

He gave each of us a Chrysanthemum flower as a blessing.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLVWSEDwd

That day, I decided to speak to the spirit.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ayVOkZedO

I turned and saw the man behind me again.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVsomrFUBX

This time, I didn’t run.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg6ceDXUZ1

“Who are you, sir? What do you want?”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeNmesFbms

He stepped forward and gently touched my head.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDqCpWwOuj

A vision hit me instantly—his final moments through his own eyes.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRISmmIyk4

I saw a woman.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfys80yLTS

She stabbed him with a knife. Cleaned off the fingerprints. Took a document file and left.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq9LoQAPkQ

It was… his wife.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHezp0Xamt

The vision ended. The man smiled at me… and vanished.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv3kIiphNT

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9M9ICOsc1

Martin’s father was a police officer.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3vcTQQbbk

I drew the man’s face—my sketches had always been good—and we told him everything.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBR1kmlNv

To our surprise, he believed us.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfsFMe8f9

The man had been murdered just days earlier. No leads, no evidence.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhTbM2ZZv6

But thanks to us… they caught her.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiS0gIgOG9

His second wife.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWMpDA781L

She confessed everything. Drunken fight. Greed for wealth. She planned it all.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRm0e7u0s2

The case was closed.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LyrBsX3he

That night, I saw the man again — but now, he was smiling, bowing to me, his spirit fading into golden light.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFbC0zZWU

That moment changed everything.

🎯 My New Mission

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLtC1C9i1

I no longer wanted to be a doctor.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzmjQzT0n

I knew what I had to do.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GLmnLgips

Martin’s father advised me to keep my identity hidden. If word spread, things could get dangerous.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3BaPAcmc

I trained.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEoSpXFusx

I went to a Siddha Vaidya temple in India, studied Sanskrit, learned the mystical arts. Built my strength.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk02UzQ219a

To cover my real work, I took up driving—first a taxi, now a Grab driver.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHDLfmZF5

My next mission always comes in a dream, usually on a Monday.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4j5ub28E4

Jegan became a science professor. Martin followed in his father’s footsteps and became a cop. Dr. Agilan and Kayal, two trusted doctors, help us too.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc2gCKU3tj

Together, we’ve helped many souls find peace.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAiswbMOub

My mother passed away when I was 21.

My father disapproved of everything I did—he stopped speaking to me.

But my sister… she’s still my bridge to him. She became a bank accountant.

At least he has her.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPmbI8wBf

I’m glad.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKnKYfEym

And now… another Monday has come.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtMUbsxMe2

Another dream.

Another soul.

Another story waiting to be told.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoeuWZxoTW

The mission continues.
