There is a saying "To enjoy the beauty of the snow, one should stand in the cold while that cold reminds you of the beauty of warmth..."
Likewise one kind word can heal the void soul but there isn't single person who can offer those unspoken luxuries to Jaeson in his world.

A 14 year old brilliant, smart yet lonely lad Jaeson sitting at the corner of the classroom watching the snowfall through the window being apathy trying to survive in this astringent world with his eyes filled with the painful memories...

**6 years back**
Don's house
C City
Jaeson lost both of his parents in a car accident in his age of 8... After their death he started living under the care of his baleful uncle Don and his family...
.
His aunt Mrs. Don and his cousin William Don, both are extremely unpleasant with his presence. So they started treating him in a very harsh manner.
.
But on the other hand Jaeson never detested them. Inspite he endured those hardships in their household for more than a year until one fine evening he overheard the conversation between his uncle and aunt regarding the inheritance of Jaeson from his parents.
.
.
It was a rainy evening... Mrs. Don rushed home from shopping while carrying heavy bags. On seeing Jaeson she shoved those heavy bags onto him saying "Hey useless, make yourself useful.... Bring those bags to William's room and sent a cup of tea to my room immediately..."
.
.
After placing those bags in William's room, out of curiosity Jaeson scanned through those bags...
All of the clothes and shoes are branded and expensive, nothing in it can be compared with his clothes....
.
Infact he only uses the worn clothes and old ones of William... A bitter yet painful smile crawled through his tiny lips...
.
.
After returning to the kitchen, he prepared his aunt's favourite lavender tea and green tea for his uncle who came just earlier than his aunt... Then he went up the stairs to second floor to serve the tea to his uncle and aunt... When he reached the door knob, he heard them talking about him...
.
.
.
"Darling, why are you still keeping that idiot in this house? Isn't too long? I think it's time for us get rid of this trouble" said Mrs. Don leaning towards Don.
.
.
"Apparently I was also thinking of the same... Finally today I got the fortune of Jaeson's parents mentioning that I am his gaurdian who needs financial help to raise him and that ended in our way... Now he is of no use to us anymore" said Don with an evil plan running through his mind...
.
.
.
Unable to configure those words, Jaeson become stupified and started trembling... His mind went blank, the whole world seemingly stopped for him at that moment; after collecting his thoughts he dropped the plate before running out from there....
.
.
Hearing the sound of plate, Don shouted "Who's there outside?"
.
When Don and his wife came out to see, they saw the spilled tea on the floor and understood the situation that Jaeson must have heard them conversation...
.
They rushed out quickly but Jaeson was nowhere to be found... Don roared to his henchmen "Go and find that stupid boy immediately; You people cannot loose him at any cost... Be dead or alive...."
