A Scar in the Heart

In that rainy night, those men searched him everywhere but all in vain, he cannot be found... Then they saw a group of people crowded over the cliff and went over to look...

.

On investigation they found that a small boy had fallen from the cliff and there is no hope to save him.

Those henchmen assumed it as Jeason... So they returned to Don and reported him that they couldn't retrieve his body as he fell down the cliff....

.

The very next Jaeson's uncle Don held funeral for him which he came to know through the news article...

.

.

Likewise his painful memories stinged his heart all time which flashed through his mind... A drop of tear appeared through the corner of his eye flowing down his scared cheek...

.

On that day, those incidents not only left a scar in his heart but also in his face...

.

.

At that night, unfortunately it was Jaeson who fell over the cliff but luckily he grabbed a tree root that extended through the side cliff...

.

He hunged onto the branch as dear life, scared to make even a tinge of sound...

Then the passerby people noticed it and helped him up... His face was severely wounded when he fell down... They asked him the details about him but he refused to answer...

.

.

One among the crowd was the Director of the Happy Home orphanage... So he decided to take him to the orphanage...

.

Happy Home Orphanage

C City

It took Jaeson about two to three months to open up to the Director while undergoing the treatment for his injuries... The doctors said "The wound in the face is treated but it may take years for the scar to disappear, so it is not entirely hopeless..."

.

.

He lived a simple yet peaceful life in the orphanage... The Director of the home suggested him to change Jaeson's name as it may help him keep his identity from his uncle....

.

But, Jaeson refused politely saying "This name is the only thing that I have among which my parents left for me... My name is the least trace for their proof of living.... So I would like to remain as Jaeson Ron till death..."

.

.

He took break in his studies for an year to recuperate... Later he took an entrance exam to compensate his year of break in XX Middle school where the Principal is Director's acquaintance...

.

Jaeson is actually smart, so he obviously cleared that exam and acquired sponsorship for his studies from the school board...

.

.

Naturally when the word got out, most of his classmates were envious of his brilliance and smartness leading to prejudiced against him... He tried to maintain a good relation with them but only to get disappointed...

.

Those classmates were the worst cruliest people to meet in one's life... They started bullying him for no other peculiar reason but for the scar in his face...

.

.

Most of the words he heard in his Middle school are, "Ugly", "Monster", "Devil head", etc.,

On the whole he got accustommed to these thinking that this life itself is a big gift to him....

.

.

For a 14 year old boy these are too much to handle... He even put up with these until that snowy evening...

.

On the way back to his home, some of his classmates lead him to an isolated area and started beating him...

But Jaeson didn't even bother to struggle to get beaten up... He was beaten to pulp to stage of losing conscious....

.

.

Suddenly there was a creaching sound pierced Jaeson's ears startling the bullies... The voice was very melodious but loud enough to attract the attention of all those bullies...

.

Infact that voice made Jaeson to not loose his consciousness and stay awake...

.

.

Everyone including Jaeson looked over the direction where the sound came from...

.

.

They all saw a petite figure bundled in a pink sweater and scarf with small arms wearing matching gloves struggling with her short legs marching towards them in that heavy snow...
