With a lightning speed, the scheduler started off without any further delay...After few minutes of travel, Adhira finally arrived at a gate stationed infront of a huge grotesque building. He told her to get off and disappeared in the next instant. Adhira stood in trance near the entrance gate, wondering something.In fact, building might not be the appropriate word..It should be said as a big castle, possessed with a dreadful aura...The castle must be pretty old and it's entrance was completely sealed with different kind of weird creepers.The castle was surrounded by mythical mountains and bewitching lakes in a circular dimension,such that no person from the outside can see it..
"What are you waiting for?", a sudden sound from the robot, disturbed her train of thoughts.
Adhira was surprised looking at the tiny robot infront of her.
'Isn't it a ghost place ?Then, why the bloody hell are the robots here?',her inner voice was running in the background.
"Nothing", she responded immediately.
"Scan your fingerprints first", the mini robot commanded.
'What ??',she exclaimed in surprise. Do even ghosts need to scan their finger prints?
For a second, her inner voice freaked out , 'Who am I ? where am I ? What am I doing here ?'
Am I really in a ghost world ? or else like in English movies, got transferred into the future world ?
While her insides were struggling, scheduler returned back and looked at her stupefied expression. He tapped gently her head and asked, "What's wrong with you ? why are you still here instead of entering ?"
Adhira snapped out of her internal struggle and yelled, "You stupid crazy idiot...where have you disappeared to ?"
The scheduler was shocked seeing her angry face. He gently answered, "Relax.I went to park my vehicle..You first tell me, why aren't you entering ?"
"Do you need to park vehicle outside ?", Adhira wondered. Seriously, this is super crazy.They have robots,uses advanced hardley davidson bikes, wears helmets, wears posh clothes..Who the hell in this world would believe that ghosts live like this?
The scheduler and the mini robot understood her predicament. Before the scheduler could respond, the mini robot answered, "Yes..Only Schedulers and some ghosts which have reached Scale 12 are allowed to use vehicles. So, they have allocated a separate parking area to park their vehicles. The parking area is just 20 kilometers away from the campus.It's very close by"
'Is 20kms close by ? can someone please tell me if my common sense is abnormal or theirs ?', Adhira scratched her head in irritation."There is a lot of open space here..why do you need to create a separate parking area ?"
"To avoid stealing", the scheduler replied in a calm tone.
"What............ stealing?? Do you mean burglary or theft ?",Adhira widened her eyes in surprise. First, they are not living beings..they use highly advanced robots..then they talk about kilometre distances just as if they are in inches or centimetres..Now they are telling burglary also...'God !!What type of roller-coaster are you playing with my life?'
Scheduler glared and answered , "No matter how many synonyms you use, the final meaning remains the same."
"So shameless...how can they even steal after even after death ?"
"Exactlyyy..!!", the robot answered, while the scheduler looked at her from top to bottom.
"What's wrong with you ??why are you looking at me from top to bottom ?", Adhira questioned feeling weird about his look.
"I am just considering your statement just now...How shameless must you be, to steal the vehicle of ghost school Dean"
"What...!!", Adhira gasped in shock.
