🕒 Wednesday, 3:45 AM

📍 Pangsapuri Sri Penara, Cheras, KL

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjM0XaY6Rr

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67pJiyEo0d

In the blink of an eye, I was inside.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucUITIqkzl

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeEVUL2xPO

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoulGvWg5I7

Then I saw it.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrSmMwZUJB

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJQt10e1Yp

I stood frozen.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fhZqhsQ55

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUySp3xZGa

Both arms wore golden bangles.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJp3KrQ20o

I couldn’t breathe.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrRYQEwBac

And then… I woke up.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4KJf1i7GW

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IDFf9KPyO

Luckily, I always kept a jug beside my bed.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuQFloglNo

I drank the entire thing in one go.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpx2B3lYfL

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSqTIgV3p

This wasn’t the first time.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPTSsz5Cv2

It started when I was 17.

🌘 The Beginning

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXFe51zlm

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zUxh78Qcr

I saw him.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrRygEJM5w

Across the road.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO4j8ByUxz

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHjo2TXlC

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe30RiVpHB

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F4npme9L1

I turned and pointed… but the man vanished.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7xRmAc6ML

That moment broke something inside me.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxT8nopqOK

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMlVqPZe0C

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…

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fHeOcTQoC

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfTd4dAb4X

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYZJ70r2C

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjCTkRUhe

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCfbJkkPoC

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5dn5VaZX

Strange.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw4vg4WZUA

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwOqcsB0Gm

Even stranger.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hcZQY2HFf

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LbX0Y9A6l

I rushed to the window. No one.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEOBaB6cRg

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXcwQvrTaZ

Still suspicious, I watched from the window.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyA0N8xujw

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB1HsnMMgd

My body froze.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwxEryBW48

I felt a presence behind me.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHamT8pntU

I turned around…

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykI6bev7jL

It was him.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ULV4fSB8

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgTRucafgx

I fainted.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtifOQxqU3K

When I woke up, my parents were beside me.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSA0IvfC1S

I told them everything.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1rbA14foW

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdNKTUMLsY

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZHaVPWOvQ

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqsGW8dJKQ

He called me over.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrpd1zk8Iw

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcgVpRNd29

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhotWVMihj

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeYUcxdfn1

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqViqhGnj7

That night, I had a dream again.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N0ckomxyk

But this time… it was different.

🌺 The Sacred Dream

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TAmkB0ewu

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRHsKhz2cU

Next to it stood a massive tree with golden leaves.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwVmBuypHN

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p6r9n24Cq

He looked at me and said:

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHHwfO2Ab

“You are the Key.”

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83N5MZilFS

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei9lq83mgG

At school, I told Martin and Jegan everything.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB2tltd1GL

Jegan had an idea.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5lvWr1BID

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLXbM9y04A

Martin agreed.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrFksjcHYU

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuuTJocW1E

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBF9mvdEbN

We were stunned.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagxRY0cHDT

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0FsSlm6e

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA9PcM2Ni9

I told him everything.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGF7oWeRso

He listened silently and then said:

⚖️ The Truth Unfolds

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNWDAmm0X1

> “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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2PrkN3tbn

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.”

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSn9ukMzY3

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CTqYzstbb

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjzYKZsVva

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1SR5GFe5

That day, I decided to speak to the spirit.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUngHahKs

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBr02KbQhL

I turned and saw the man behind me again.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclII3Dfw4l

This time, I didn’t run.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1ApF1t9UQ

“Who are you, sir? What do you want?”

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4aBL4A4zZ

He stepped forward and gently touched my head.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JFquVKan0

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3wU92YK2F

I saw a woman.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV4yw2JMYA

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb43NWG32Q

It was… his wife.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV1Ya8mmYa

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQqvHLRMX

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJKesYLK41

Martin’s father was a police officer.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fjpdIJEmp

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwMewWfO8b

To our surprise, he believed us.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkurUqhXRx

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJRIoCw8a

But thanks to us… they caught her.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpoDDEbLA

His second wife.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVGyetDG0

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBptxt3PAF

The case was closed.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG93HmkBxE

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfqVSov1t4

That moment changed everything.

🎯 My New Mission

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1dnDBMjux

I no longer wanted to be a doctor.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWjizNeP3N

I knew what I had to do.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpczKU41Z

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR4MMGBuJh

I trained.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Txbr1kur

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVnukfIZJx

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvikiOkR2P

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

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GTYZ9Q3aJ

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUrB0ezIUv

Together, we’ve helped many souls find peace.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMic26q5Zz

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.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzBTeX8YHv

I’m glad.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnZm2K6hcu

And now… another Monday has come.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77oP6mgANF

Another dream.

Another soul.

Another story waiting to be told.

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOocXQVMpn

The mission continues.
