James has a trip to Florida booked for tonight at 12.30 p.m. Even though it was just 11 a.m., he reasoned that if he traveled at night, he would be very wary, so he would sleep a bit to keep his body healthy at night.
James got a bottle of wine from the fridge, poured a portion of it into a glass tumbler, added a piece of ice, and began sipping. James returned to his room, went to bed, and lay down after finishing his glass. After lying down for a while, he continued to analyze his impending programs in his head and eventually fell asleep.
James saw his mother in a dream shortly after falling asleep, telling him, "My beloved child, you have done all the right things in your life, but you have not completed an unfinished job of your father yet." In the dream, James requested his mother, "Mother, please tell me whatever unfinished job I haven't done for my father.
" My beloved son, some priceless object of a particular friend of your father is hidden in a secret spot, the mother remarked once again. Your father was unable to return it to his friend before his death.
That is why his spirit is restless and he has yet to find calm. Will you find down his friend's item for his soul's sake? James had no idea what his mother was talking about, or where his father had hidden that object. James grew concerned when the mother vanished from the dream for an extended period of time.
After a few moments, her mother reappeared and said, "If you make a firm commitment that you will retrieve the valuable item of your father's friend for the sake of your father's soul's peace, then I will tell you everything."
Then someone awoke James from his slumber and informed him that you were dozing and murmuring something.
James jolted awake from his slumber, recalling several details from his dream. But, dismissing everything as a bizarre dream, he began preparing for his voyage. James arrived at the Argentine airport on time for his flight, and after completing the requisite formalities, he was seated in his aircraft seat.
He noticed an old-aged woman seated next to him who was continually staring at him. James was taken aback to see the woman in this manner, and he felt uneasy as well.
That woman, though, became normal after a while. All of the other passengers were seated comfortably in their seats when the pilot announced the flight's departure.
When the plane took off, the woman with him clutched James's hand tightly, maybe because she was scared of flying. James did not say anything to her because this is a usual practise. That woman sat down appropriately as the plane reached a high altitude.
Because the drive was almost 9 hours long, everyone fell asleep. After around 4 hours of flying, the jet received a severe jolt, causing all of the passengers to wake up and become concerned. At the same time, the plane's pilot declared that the voyage would have to be halted somewhere in the middle owing to terrible weather and that we would now arrive at Peru Airport.
as soon as the weather improves, we will resume flying. The plane touched down in Peru, and the passengers began to disembark one by one. The woman who had been seated with James had also departed, and James saw a piece of paper on her seat with the words Peru, On the hill, Father's soul peace, Welcome, Find it, Near the waterfall written on it.
James was taken aback when he saw this written paper and immediately remembered his dream. He didn't comprehend what these gestures meant. He, too, slowly got up and made his way to the airport's waiting room; he was just thinking about something when a guy said to him, "This is your destination, so you've been brought here, start your journey."
James enquired from inquiry about the hill and waterfall and
he was told that there is a hill 70 kilometers away and a lovely waterfall, but it can only be visited during the day.
James believed All of these transcendental happenings, were inspiring him to do some job. That is why I shall go there first thing in the morning.
There was just a few hours left in the morning, so he grabbed a cab and informed the driver the location of that hill, and after about an hour, he arrived near the hill and waterfall. The waterfall was breathtaking. He was still unsure about what to do next or where to go.
He took a glance around and noticed a hotel with a board. The words 'Welcome' flashed across his head as an inkling of the message that had been put on it.
A very elderly man was seated on the reception when he entered the hotel in shock. When he saw James , he said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for 15 years." A woman just notified me of your arrival an hour ago.
After telling him to follow him, the old guy led him to a locker and explained that his father had handed him a box for safekeeping 15 years ago , and that he had never returned. It was discovered that he had passed away due of heart failure, on his way. Then, in my dream, I had seen a woman who said that her son will definitely come to receive this box one day.
And you have arrived today; inside this box, the name of its true owner has been written, and ten beautiful diamonds, the property of your father's friend, are kept.
my children take it from here and give to your father's friend, . So that you may prove that, like your father, you are a person who follows in his footprints whenever it comes to honesty.
Go and fulfil your father's pledge by liberating his spirit and allowing him to rest in peace. May God make you safe and bless you.
After a little while, the weather improved. James caught the flight to Argentina and fulfilled the promise of his father.

So the father needed them to follow his footprints before he could rest in the afterlife. Nice one.
