The things that had transpired upon him,

were numerous enough to make him forget.

But the result of those things remained.

All of the pain,

the hards.h.i.+ps,

the suffering,

it all had come to pa.s.s.

But there were still more to come.

Yet,

this happened.

The one thing that he never thought,

the one thing that was supposedly impossible,

it had happened.

His mother,

Out of anger for his "disobedience",

said the following words to the boy:

I have no need for a son like you.

I'm better off not having a child like you,

who won't listen to me.

That day,

something cracked.

Something inside of him had broke.

The impact of this event will be felt

later down the line of his life.

He begged,

he cried.

Though finally she relented,

that seed inside of him,

the seed of resentment,

bloomed to perfection.

Ever since that day,

he never truly smiled again.

His eyes would look dead,

if one were to fully know him.

And as the teenage phase came,

he came to rely more on his friends.

Those who were closer to him in age,

and in time spent together.

For the comfort of his home,

was all but a full-faced lie.

With him encroaching adulthood,

he felt more distant than ever,

towards an estranged concept called "family".

This was his thought of such a thing by then,

to put it into words:

A family is but a relations.h.i.+p,

between those who happen to be blood-related,

nothing more, nothing less.

Then, someone came and reminded him,

of what it means to be a family.

She was nothing but a cla.s.smate to him.

Yet, her and her friends had saved him.

From the abyss of collapsed family relations.

She gave him everything,

everything that he never experienced,

in a family.

For that,

he was forever grateful to her.

Even more so,

he felt something,

as close as to something called love.

Yet, all things were never meant to last.

Three years had went by.

And all of them have graduated.

Thus,

he walked upon the path of adulthood.

To enter the smaller version,

of what is called a "society",

known as "University".
