SHADOW IS YOUR GIFT – CHAPTER 4 – THE END?
Soon Frank was half covered with that Shadow. Suddenly, his mom opened the door.
“Frank, pack your bags . We are leaving this home now.”
Frank was surprised. “Now??”
“Yeah dear. I came yesterday to tell you but you have fallen asleep. So I didn’t disturb”
Frank was sad and happy too. Sad because he couldn’t solve the mystery happy because he could get away from this mystery.
He quickly packed the bags. All the stuff were neatly packed into two travelling bags. Frank put those in front of the window in his room.
A shadow was made by those two. Frank was shocked to see those. He was little afraid.
He stepped back but stopped as a statue after catching the sight of the moving dust under the shadow.
It formed letters , the words, it simply portrayed ,
GOOD BYE
Frank didn’t move. He couldn’t understand what to do.
He looked at Grandfather’s diary which was kept in the table.
“I have to take a decision” He thought.
He grabbed Grandfather’s diary and turned to last page.
Frank read the first line.
DAY 7
“What! , Is this the last day!” He was surprised. He read further.
-I know that it is not a threat but still it should be a secret. None should know about them. They are not like us. So I have take a decision. I will not let anyone know this. I’ll end this today-
“As Grandpa did I have to end this too.” Frank took a decision.
He stepped outside his room, taking all the traveling bags with him.
He stepped outside home with the diary and went to a corner of the garden.
Frank lit a match stick and put it on the diary. He watched the diary burning with an neutral mood.
“No one will know this now” he was relieved.
Frank’s mom saw this fire and shouted
“Frank!!! What’s on fire??”
Frank turned to her side. His mom was running towards him. Frank didn’t want his mom to know about this.
So he quickly replied, “Nothing mom. Just a few useless papers.”
Frank’s mom was relieved with that answer.
She replied, “oh I was scared honey. Come let’s go. I’ve put your bags in the car and dad is waiting for us.”
Frank went to car with his mom,and got in.
He looked at his home for the last time, “Bye bye” He thought.
