World shrouded in a persistent fog of grief

In 1991, Arun faced a series of tragic events that left his world shrouded in a persistent fog of grief. His father had passed away in a car accident, just six months after his sister had also died in a similar accident. During this tumultuous time, Arun stayed with his mother, and together they began searching for a life insurance policy that his father might have taken out years ago. Arun’s parents had been divorced for many years, and his father, who lived alone, was not the most organized person.

Arun’s mother recalled a phone conversation from the early 1980s in which his father mentioned taking out a life insurance policy for the children. Despite the slim chances that such a policy would still be active after all those years, they continued their search, partly as a way to distract themselves from their grief. One day, his mother found a piece of paper with a policy dated around 1982. They both doubted it could still be valid, and the search gradually faded from their minds.

One morning, Arun had a lucid dream. In the dream, his father appeared, looking peaceful and alive. His father motioned for him to follow, and Arun did, feeling a strange sense of calm. They went downstairs, where his father walked over to his mother’s purse, reached inside, and pulled out a piece of paper—it was the very insurance policy they had been searching for. His father smiled warmly before the dream ended.

Arun awoke with a jolt, knowing deep down that this was more than just a dream. He rushed downstairs, filled with excitement, and told his mother about the encounter. She was skeptical, thinking it was simply a figment of his imagination. After much convincing, she agreed to call the insurance company on Monday.

Arun was certain that the policy was valid. The vividness of the dream left no doubt in his mind that his father had reached out to help. When Monday arrived, his mother made the call. To their astonishment, the policy was still active after all those years.

Arun’s father had indeed lent a hand from beyond, guiding them to the life insurance policy that would provide some financial relief during their difficult time. This experience strengthened Arun’s belief in the supernatural and left an indelible mark on his life.
