LOVE III

FATE or LOVE


" The past can't hurt you anymore, unless you let it ".  - Alan Moore

After what she said to me ' sometimes love can be too dangerous ', it provoked me. Something inside me, directed to somewhere. That's where it leads to the CCTV camera. Why didn't I check the camera before. It was my foolishness maybe laziness. So I went and checked if there was a lead. There is. She was right there on the missing night. But she wasn't alone. There was a boy with her. If I'm right then he might be the killer. But there wasn't much time before I backed up from my word. The second person with her, maybe the last person seen her was the boy who said has crush on her. Will he kill her? The question raised me frequently. Everything that he said to me, i thought it was true. So I checked his address and met her mom. Maybe I can find more about him from his mom. I went to his house. I rang the bell a few times. The door opened at the third ring. His mother opened the door. She was scared when she looked at me but she was scared even more when I asked about his son.

I sat on the couch. His mother was sitting next to me. I told her everything. I'm the investigating officer of his crush. I've some doubts about your son. So, i asked a few questions about him. But she said " if you're saying that my son is the suspect then I don't know he is. But he was acting strange lately. He was acting weird like talking alone, walking alone, smiling. It was like I was seeing my old son back ". When she said, 'his old son'  i didn't get it properly. I asked her about this ' old son '. She said " when he was about 12 years old, he had a friend. He was his best friend. He always plays with him. They were really close. One day when they were going to school, his friend met with an accident in front of his eyes. He couldn't accept his friend's death. Later it got a serious problem for him. He is thinking that his friend is not dead. He is around him. He made him like an imaginary friend in his mind. He laughs and talks like he is with him. I got scared of him. So, I got him to meet a psychologist.  Later he was getting fine. He was getting fine. Slowly he accepted his friend's death. But now after his crush's death i thought he came to his old self. I don't want to be like that. Please save him ". That's what she said. And i thought it was getting serious and we should find him.

I checked his last appearance anywhere. I got one. I checked the cctv camera of his last appearance. He was going to the cliff where she was killed. I told everything to my higher officer. He said that I should go and check there. But my role here is done. He insisted, and I accepted. It was night 8' when I reached the cliff. I ran towards where he was. I saw him. It looks like he was talking to someone. When I moved towards slowly, I saw him standing on the edge of the cliff. I went to him and shouted " STOP!!!! ". He turned towards me. He was crying.
