Term1 March holidays

Born with a sliver soon in his mouth, John does not need to worry for anything but just live his live in lush homes and in opulence. When he walked about outside the house, his father’s employed bodyguards will be protecting this rich kid at all cost. He splurge on everything and his job was very simple, just eat and sleep and exercise to maintain healthy. Someone said, “even if the sky fell, he would not even know it did”. Most of the time, John stayed at home since his house can so big that it housed the necessary things needed. It was more like a town then a home.

The only thing he went out of his house daily was to go to school for studies. His father do not wish him to be lonely at home all alone by himself all day long since he himself needs to work. Thus he sent him to school so that he can make friends with the outside community and even bring his friends home to pay games with them if they do not mind.

As the little boy and only son of the richest tycoon in the country grow, he started to go astray. The father had initially made everything available at home so that he seldom needs to go to the outside world and get contaminated by all the rumours and bad behaviour spreading around the society. But he was wrong. The restriction made John more eager to explore the outside world and thinks that his father is just bringing him misery.

He started to buy things fulsomely with the money of his father. Even buying an apartment for a friend known for only about two days was a small matter. His father was in great distraught. He was heart ached that his son did not grow up the way he wanted. The father had wanted to develop his only scion into a person with great potential and compassionate. All that happened was the other way round.

When John took over the companies of his father at age 20, he continued to spend greatly and I the end, John declared bankrupt. What his father had earned throughout his life was ruined jut by him in less than a year. They had to resort to begging and live in destitution to ensure their survival. Even though his son had gone bad but the father was still caring for his son. Whenever they have food, the father will give food to John and the father will have the leftovers. But John did not care about his father and continued to use up every little money they have on useless things to their survival, sometimes even finishing every bit of rice they have for the day, not sparing any for the father.

Feeling extremely hurt, the father finally left his son, heading towards a village to live the rest of his life. The son went into gambling shortly after the father left and was in great debt. Loan sharks were after his life and it was only then did he think. Only then did he think about his father. But it was too late. It was too late to regret his actions
When he was in his thoughts, a shadow appeared and a parang knife slashed down.
