A Puzzling Experience đ¤
It happened to me when I started taking my first posting as a former school teacher on the outskirts of the city, which is almost two-hour drive by bus. So I used to wake up early, prepare for work and walk to the bus stop every weekday. One morning, around 5 a.m, my dad sent me to the stop because sometimes the light went out in our country at that time, even in the city. On the way to the bus stop, I came across a man walking towards us, then he passed by me and my dad. I was checking him if he was the man living in our street, who passed away the day before. So l looked into his face and his body, but nothing was different like the real him except his new hair cut. His outfit was also the usual wearing style: patterned shirt and longyi and the whole thing looked like the real person, not like a ghost (the ones I have seen in the movies đ). That made me unclear that the news he left the world was a truth or fake. After watching him pass, I asked my dad if he also saw him. He said, "Yes, I did. Exactly like him." My dad's answer made me shocked. I was curious to know about him and so I kept on asking my dad. "Does he have a twin?" Because I just wanted to have an evidence for his new hairstyle to relieve my suspicion. (Maybe this man is his twin.) But my dad was also unsure about that. When I reached the corner of the street, I looked back at him and saw he was peeping one of his friend's houses, probably to say 'Good Morning' because he was such a sociable person.
Then, we also hurried to the bus stop and I took the bus to work. On my return home, the news I heard puzzled me! The truth was that he had no twin and he really passed away the day before. And he did a hair-cut the other day before his death.
If so, whom did I meet this morning? Ghost or who else?
