Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Hari

"Hey, girls," the kid said, his voice echoing slightly in the dim light.

"An actual ghost! Oh gosh, I think I'm going to faint!" Aravali exclaimed dramatically, clutching her chest as if she were about to swoon.

"NO, DON'T!" the ghost kid urged, his transparent figure appearing more insistent. "You must be the girls that Kuwarjeet told me about?"

"Huh? How do you know Jeet Uncle?" Sita asked, her curiosity piqued as she squinted at the apparition.

"Well… actually, I'm his assistant," the ghost replied, a hint of hesitation in his voice as he glanced around nervously.

"ASSISTANT?!" all the girls screamed in unison, their voices blending into a chorus of disbelief.

"I know it sounds impossible, but it really is true," the ghost insisted, his expression earnest.

"But how?" Iaa questioned, her brow furrowing as she tried to understand this bizarre revelation.

"Umm, I was their first case," the ghost kid, who introduced himself as Hari, explained. "I met Kuwarjeet and the others during my... well, my unfinished business. We became friends over time, and I helped them solve cases, find lost items, and even translate languages because I know many languages."

"But wait," Iaa said, her voice softening as she considered his words, "if you were helping them, why haven't they exorcised you by now?"

Hari's expression shifted, a shadow of sadness crossing his face. "I have one wish left," he said quietly, his voice barely a whisper. "But it's impossible to fulfill. I just want to meet Agatha, but unfortunately, she passed away," he added, his tone heavy with sorrow as he recalled the friendship he had lost.

The atmosphere grew tense, the weight of his unfulfilled wish hanging in the air among the girls, who exchanged glances filled with compassion and understanding.little "Anyway, girls, I'm here to assist you with your missions," Hari announced cheerfully, a sparkle of determination in his eyes. "But first, I have to share the news with the rest of the country about the exciting comeback of the Paranormal Detectives."

Shiva's expression changed from curious to anxious as she quickly interjected, "Wait, no! Our parents have no idea that we're here, involved in all of this. What if they found out we've been lying to them?" She looked at Hari, a hint of worry in her voice, urging him to pause.

With a playful smirk, Hari reassured her, "Leave it to your Jeet uncle. He knows exactly what he's doing." 

Shiva raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Huh?"

"Let's go talk to him about what he has been keeping from you," Hari said, confidently opening the door that led to the exit. The prospect of uncovering more secrets sparked a mix of apprehension and excitement among the girls as they prepared to step into the unknown.use.
