Once, Jake tried to be friendly but John turned him down. Instead, he called him names thus making Jake really disappointed. He was really sad.
" Hey!You!fat boy!You want to play with me?"Sarcastically, John, the little monster called him. Then he threw his dirty rotten-like smelly shoes to him. Jake did not say a word but just stood up and stared at him and his cunning looking friends.
Despite the irritating laughters, Jake tried to be cooled.
" Emmm....ok!If you want me to wash your shoes, I'll do it.But you must promise that you'll play with me."uttered Jake.
Without saying a word, John smiled at him. The others laughed loudly;made fool of him.Jake was a laughing stock!So, he had no choice but to wash the shoes. Wile he was washing the shoes, John came and to his astonishment,John kicked him at the back whereas the others beat him continuously.Jake was a punching bag. Feeling sad and pain, Jake cried and walked away without finishing the task; washing the shoes. He was indeed, a lonely figure.
Time flies by. After fourteen years following his father shifting to another town, Jake was here again.
"Remember me?"Gently Jake asked the familiar-looking young man who was polishing his black expensive leather shoes.
Reluctantly, the young man looked up towards him but said nothing. He couldn't recognise Jake;a young handsome rich-looking man who was smiling gently at him.
"No... I can't remember you," said the young man who was wearing a faded cheap t-shirt. He presented the polish shiny-looking shoes to Jake without saying a word.
"How much?"Jake asked.Still smiling.
"RM2,sir," Slowly Jake took out a RM10 note and gave it to him.
"I can be so unkind to you.But I don't want to,"said Jake with a gentle sunk-to-a-whisper voice.But the memory of his pain still lingered on. He just walked to his large, luxurious, black limousine with a chauffeur dressed in white waiting for him.John stared with a half-opened mouth.
"Jake ..... "
