Unloved Soulmate

Chapter 4:*Chance*

Trace who had lost his Mom from the hands of depression have not found someone who could love her. He hoped he will never end up like his Mom and wished to find a loving mate every single day of his life.

One day on his way to a date his car break failed and he ran into an on the oncoming caterpillar. Trace didn't know that day it would be his late day to work, and potentially his life. He was on his way to his a date with an office colleague he was admiring. he planned on proposing to her.

Now, he was driving to meet up with her when a huge Toyota truck rammed into his passenger’s side. His little car rolled over several times, breaking glasses and inflating the safety bag. His head made contact with the cement ground not a moment later. Currently, blood is pouring out of his noggin. Poor thing. Onlookers were watching the entire accident. Some even recorded it and posted on social media for any to take a peek, instead of rendering a helping hand to quench his burning car.

      The moment Trace got out of the car, he tried to talk to people around the scene to find out what he happened they gathered but he noticed no one notice or heard him talking. He could see people crying and the fire department quenching a car burning car.

“What is happening” Trace asked himself staring at his burnt hands, “Why happening why is no one hearing me” He worried.

The sky was slowly sinking into the darkness. The shapes of the objects were losing their definition, and the setting sun rays were slightly illuminating a figure, right in front of me. The man was far not young. It was hard to determine his age as life left a deep imprint on his face. He was pensively looking into the distance, and his eyes reflected either deep sadness or cool tranquillity. The eyes… Once sky-blue, now they were bearing the colour of pale winter mornings. Yet, the look was not cold at all. His eyesight also was not as sharp as before.

His forehead was covered with deep wrinkles, which were as uneven as his turbulent life. Bushy grey brows, frowned from time to time, made these wrinkles even deeper, and all this gave the man's face rather a strict expression. His pointy face was framed with short thinning white hair, and one could notice a small bald spot on the top of the head.

His side whiskers that began on the temples were coming down to an accurate small beard, which he was stroking once in a while. It was possible to see a little more on the outer side of the eye. The mole was creating an optical illusion that made one think that the man was screwing up his eyes. He was dressed plainly, but elegantly in white apparel. He wore accurately ironed clothes.

“They can't hear you” he replied to Trace who was standing in front of him.

“Who are you?”

Putting to the sky, “Some people call me Father or Gemini” The mand said.

“Father!” Trace exclaimed

The old man in white attire walk to Trace and crossing his hand over his shoulder, “Let's go somewhere and talk everything will be fine”

Trace's POV

I appeared on the sea coast in a small wooden boat with Gemini, the old man. I was startled the boat had two guys fishing on it but we both sat on it.

I worried they didn't act like the saw us in the boat then I heard Gemini saying “Don't worry they don't know we are on their boat”

“Now, let's talk” Gemini said

“Are my dead?” I asked curiously.

“Ehh! I prefer to say in transition” Gemini replied rolling his eyes.

“But I am not ready”

“Most people never, but I assure when you get to heaven you will love it”

“It is not like I don't want to go to heaven but I don't have a soul mate”

*Chuckling*

“You don't need a soul mate in heaven” Gemini replied chuckling.

“With all due respect Sir, you are like a President if I know you a bit well but from history a lot of president don't know what is happening around their countries”

Gemini cranking up, "Okay, you want a soul mate?"

“Exactly” I concurred

“I think I have someone that will be just perfect for you but I will not interfere with the feeling"

“Great” I started to smile.

"You will have 10 days to make her truly fall in love with you snd if you then you can have in the other side of life forever”

I laughed excitedly, “Yes! So how will I know her?”

“She will be the only one who can see you and hear you”

“So I am a ghost?” I asked glaring at Gemini

“Technically, you are still a human being. You can smell, touch, feel and see but she will be the only ejo can see and hear you”

“Can I fly?” I asked creating the butterfly feather with my both hands.

Laughing, “You can't fly. You can't do any of those you couldn't do as human”

“Why, Father! So I still need to take the bus and enter trains” I complained.

“Alright, just think of anywhere you want to be and you will appear there” Gemini replied

“You mean anywhere?” I asked doubtfully.

“Yes, anywhere”

I took a try and time-travelled into a luxurious bedroom with attractive looking slim fit lady who sat on a couch licking a cup of ice cream. She is the kind of soul mate I have always wanted finally I got a chance to meet her.

Laughing, “It worked” I said to Gemini

“It did work, Huh?” Gemini asked me

“Yea” I smiled

“You get a chance to me anyway in the world and it is Melinda Jones bedroom you choose” Gemini asked disappointed

“I...I was just testing” I stutter nervously.

“Trace listens with great responsibility comes great expectation. You have a purpose ”

“I know….I know, thank you so much. You see I want a correct lady with two big chest jugs and I very fine lady fo, not all this small ugly girl and she said should be rich. You know I wasn't rich when I was alive and yes one last thing I want a women who has a house”

“Don't worry just go to sleep now, Trace. When you wake up you will be with your soul mate but remember you have three days to make her fall in love with you” Gemini replied.

“Yes! Yes!” I beamed in joy, “ Who knows who she will be, I will finally find my soul mate"
