📍 Jegan's House, Cheras
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCh0VI0L6f
We were all stuck in a loop of questions that had no answers. The evidence against Babu was as solid as it could be. The photos. The knife. The cult symbols. The girl chained. The suicide. It all pointed to him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDo1oKKtC
But Jegan broke the silence.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQg6XfaS7x
> "You still didn't see Shabana's spirit vanish into spores, right?"
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmrm7F7s35
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLxP3vWlAa
I looked at him and shook my head.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtpwRXTFFV
> "Nope. Not yet."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeBWKUCvxC
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYNhekpFw
Jegan nodded slowly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb0CuLIQsy
> "Then we know what that means."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjc4a0VrlZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiG5fkVj1Z
He was right. We had always believed the spirit would only rest - vanish - once her killer was caught. But Shabana's spirit was still here. Still watching.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSPqFfyzg4
So then... if not Babu - who?
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBKyv5tbkf
My phone rang. It was Dr. Agilan.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQlUmgkl1n
> "Yugan, your father is awake. He wants to talk to you. You should come."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZdAJY06SX
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSvNLppGL
Martin and Jegan stayed back to review everything again. I rushed to the hospital.

📍 Hospital Pantai, KL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNzKl80opC
Outside the ward, I saw Kayal and my sister waiting. Dr. Agilan placed a firm hand on my shoulder.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXHUATpJcG
> "He's asking for you."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAi5aQM5QE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JXzTEsWWP
I hesitated. I carried a quiet guilt inside - as if I had caused my father's condition. Years of silence between us, and now this. But I walked in.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnhI09seA
He was lying in bed, thinner than I remembered, but his eyes - they still had strength.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKGS4XmjtD
> "Come sit, son..."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DFyPQueCO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBmDK0exn9
His voice was softer, but each word hit deep. He apologized. For everything. For not understanding me. For pushing me away. For staying silent all these years.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW1pqk1Zxh
I didn't expect it. But the wall between us crumbled.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW9Z07sG5N
> "I was wrong," he said. "This world needs you. Maybe I didn't see that before."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppoUekaoLx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhm0ig5bce
My throat tightened. I stopped him mid-sentence, eyes welling.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRvxpyWzhp
> "No, Appa. I should've listened too. But now... I'm glad we're here."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfWYXLR7nt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAsDe4SwO0
He asked me to come back - to live with him and my sister again.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnReyfpHrX1
I agreed.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVtn6Yi1LU
For the first time in forever, it felt like home was returning.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyutmKN5ZX
He even joked about the hospital's "expired medicine smell" and how badly he missed his usual teh tarik.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q3pDYJHjM
That evening, we brought him back home.

📍 My Father's Home, KL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Esv78WaN
I stayed. I laughed. I opened up like I hadn't in years. I told him everything - the spirits, the missions, the children we saved. He listened like it mattered.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5iatQwb7S
> "If your mother were here," he said, "she'd be the proudest one in the room."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgmayC9zdv
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aZcbPguPU
That moment broke something inside me. A floodgate of healing.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72AwgJZfcr
But it didn't last long. Martin called.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwd1o5gp3h
> "Come quickly. We might have something."

📍 Jalan Damai, KL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvr3D2CEoU
It was pouring. Traffic was jammed up badly. I was stuck in the car, crawling forward inch by inch.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX0zrqSaZ3
That's when I saw him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ipmIsUW56
A man walking in the rain - soaked but calm. He approached my car window.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5RQBDsvrt
And I froze.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SYEiFJiUd
I knew him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JYsbvyRx
> He was one of my sixth passengers. The last one from last week.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXpm7G0jQl
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlC6gn3a1l
There was something off about him, even back then. Something... dark. He had said he was a businessman from Penang, just here for a "meeting."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb2BMVs82l
Now, he looked at me and smiled faintly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBllWPbCAz
> "I need help again. Can you drop me somewhere? It's urgent."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr66cjIiQMh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnkM8Thch
I hesitated... but agreed.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidDCNXTFH
We cut through traffic and I got him to the place quickly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl7vatdzGm
It was a double-storey house in Ampang.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvONSQx6iGj
He stepped out of the car slowly, turned to me, and said:
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLIPmGZpoE
> "Thank you, Yugan. You always arrive when fate needs you."
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQz705sa3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhdDQyHnZ
He walked into the house and shut the door.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKgi2dZAjC
Something about that house. That man. That line.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VAkAo7BsU
It stayed with me.
