CH - 9

After about 2 months of the death of Bob, once Morrision was roused from his sleep by a horrible dream. He sat on his bed and switched on the light. His wife also got up, he held her and said that he had seen a dream and it was about the death of Bob.

He said that he had seen that his son had been murdered by Edward and his 4 friends . He had clearly seen that they had mixed poison in his food on that day when he was invited by them, it was clearly a plot to kill him.

He closed his face with his palms and said I cannot believe it, it is horrible, it is a murder by his best friend. His eyes were full of tears. His daughter also came there at that time and she also heard it.

She asked him ,"Is it true, Papa?.

He said, " I have seen it very very clearly. But nothing was detected during the treatment, It was treated purely as an incurable disease. So we are helpless. I do not think it was a dream. It was a clear reflection shown by Bob.

He told Srini not to say anything to Edward. He said, " It is not legal, hence, we cannot take any action on the basis of a dream."

The professors of his college came to their house to express their deep condolence.

Bob did no physical harm to Edward. Just after one month Morrision had the dream, Edward was trapped inescapably. He developed a shadow behind him. Always, whereever he moved, he was followed by the shadow.

He was very much embarrassed by it . He came to be known as 'shadow man'. No body was calling him Edward. Even people came to see him with a shadow behind him from far off places.

He stopped coming to college, meeting his friends. He had no way to get rid of it. After about 3 months, an obscure face of some one became visible in the shadow. It was not possible to identify the face initially, but by and by it became clear, at last it was found that it was of Bob his friend whom he has murdered.

When Morrison came to know about it , he went to the police station and made a complaint regarding the death of his son and the rumour of the shadow with the face of Bob.

Police came to Edward's house to verify the truth and then they took him to the station .After interrogation they came to know that he and 4 other friends have killed him by poison purely out of jealousy. Ultimately, all of his friends who committed the crime were arrested finally.
