One year ago, I met him at the art conference. He liked my
paintings very much. He was a business-tycoon and he

promoted my masterpieces across cities. In due course of time,
we became staunch-friends. In many things, we had similar

taste and interest. With sheer hardwork, he earned a lot of
name and fame and was flourishing that time. He inculcated

winner qualities within himself. He refused to be average and
aimed to be great. The sky was his limit. After seeing my strong
concentration and dedication toward my work, I got a

compliment of an “IMAGE MAN” by him and he often called
me by this name. I am really apologetic at a loss of great friend

like you. Please forgive me for the sake of our true friendship.
Sezia, many times I thought to tell you about this whole matter

but, I did not find courage to tell all this. Sometimes, I feel
guilty, it was my big evil deed that is not an act of forgiveness.

But, I am a beggar infront of you, for the sake of my family, for
God’s sake, forget all the things and leave this place. I wish

that your soul will rest in peace.

Now, I am telling you the entire story, Sezia. Last year, when

you went to your maternal home, then Shemp planned to go
on camping at the hillside and asked me to accompany him.
