June Holidays Journal 1 Revenge

Blood flowed all over the floor and all Mixa could do was drowning himself in his tears. His beloved father had just been killed, or you can say murdered. Mixa kneeled in front of his father’s lifeless body, still crying uncontrollably. All came too sudden, too quickly, so fast that he did not have time to react. His father had been a kind man and generous too but whom would be that heartless to kill such a great man. He still could not get over the matter. He thought his father would be accompanying him at least throughout his teenage years but now all were gone, in just that split second. The same had happened to Mixa’s mother and now the same happened to his father. Mixa, stood right before his father, made a vow, to take revenge on his behalf no matter what it cost.

A rich couple adopted Mixa and he was well fed and dressed and not before long, he had forgotten everything about his true father’s death. He graduated from primary school and continued his studies to university. After that, he furthered his studies overseas, with the financial support of his “parents”. Then one day, he was studying in the hostel when suddenly, a scene ran through his mind. It was gruesome and the man in the picture was bleeding profusely. The man looked familiar, looked like someone whom he had seen before. Not before long, he remembered that man. He was the person, together with his wife, who had brought him to the world and who had gave him everything they had. He remembered one thing, he had made his oath of getting revenge back on the guy who did it on his father. Blood was boiling and the yearn for revenge was at its highest peak. From that day on, after finishing his studies, he used his free time to investigate into his father’s death but to no avail. Knowing that it would be impossible for him to find out who the murdered of his father was with his limited connections and resources, he decided to join the police force and at the same time track down the criminal. It had been 20 years since the murder but he remembered vividly the looks of the convict as he started to remember s0me parts of the happening.

With his academic qualifications, he rose up the ranks quickly and landed himself on one of the highest rankings in the force. This was the time. He now had all the data he needed near his reach. Within days he started to identify a few suspects and within a week, he had narrowed down his investigations to a man called Tan Teck Teeg, aged 46.Mixa was confident that this was the guy who stole away his happy family many years ago. Even though by claiming revenge will not bring his father back to life, he wanted that guy to pay dearly for it. In the next few days, he got ready himself for the operation. He had planned to take revenge at the guy in nighttime, the time of the day, which his father was murdered.

That long awaited day for Mixa arrived and he slot the accessories on, making sure that nothing would go wrong by going through the plan again. Having been in the police force for quite sometime, he knew inside out how they worked and did everything he can to avoid detection. After driving for about fifteen minutes, he got down and started to make his way towards the house of that man by foot. Donning himself in black from top to toe, he blended himself nicely into the starless night.

This is it. He had arrived outside the house of the man and his house was all dark and quite. He crept silently into the living room, making sure that his presence was not detected. He explored the house and made sure that all the loaded weapons in the house were unloaded. Right after that he made his way into the room in which the man sleeps. As he crawled in, he saw that someone was sleeping right beside him, his wife. Deep inside him he thought, “This would be the last night he would be spending with his wife.” Out came Mixa’s pistol, loaded with seven deadly bullets. Just as he was about to finish that man off. His eyes caught two children sleeping in between both the man and his wife. He told himself that he should not be distracted and have his operation hindered by his emotions but it got the better of him. It brought back old memories, which he had shared with his father and he suddenly realized that by finishing that man off for his revenge, the boy would suffer the same fate as he had. Even thought he had a mother to take care of him if he did so, the love that fathers give to their children would not be the same as the love that mothers give to their children.

Thinking of that, Mixa, laid down his weapon and headed out of the house and swore never to take revenge again as this would cause more unhappiness to others and he do not wish others to suffer like he did when he lost his father. If it is not for the couple who had adopted him, he would have been a beggar at the street now and not everybody who bears the same past as him would be that lucky. He laid the thought of revenge behind him and decided to get on with life, knowing that by taking revenge will not be able to solve the pain in his heart but by laying the past behind him will.
