After a quick discussion John was all set to start again to Sebastian’s house. But a feeling of loneliness sank in his heart. It explained a lot, really. His loneliness, the longing in his eyes. he had lost so much, it was understandable. He felt sorry for putting his parents in such a crucial situation, but that pity only went so far. Now that he understood them better, this made him all the more uncomfortable. His parents hadn't expected to see him in baggy clothing and a kit bag on his shoulders, and rebuked himself for being shocked when he appeared at the door while leaving.
John is just a Tyro in learning what is life and of course it includes business too, well he never expected people to be so selfish when it comes to their life. John trusted every one so he needed this lesson. John felt under siege, and by the time advice was over by Mr. Wilson, he was more than ready to leave home. Its is so because, even though John was in actual trouble he didn’t do any mistake, Except trusting Kenneth which is more than anything to John. His arms folded against the chill of the morning air and he proceeded towards Sebastian’s house. It was almost 8am, his mobile battery was totally drained so do John too. John was very much frustrated on Kenneth that he didn’t ring up the previous day or that morning, not even for a formality. It was March 1st 2006 the first day of the month John was on a grace period, he can only receive calls and cannot dial forth. There in Sebastian’s house he met the so called senseless attorney (Sebastian’s father) ,He instructed him to finish of the job and not to leave till he comes back. Thinking about the college and his friends he carried his work, his mind was constantly thinking about Kenneth and Martha and why he was behaving so arrogantly, he was also thinking whether guys automatically turn like that when a girl comes into his life? Or that girl really deserves Kenneth’s trust and affection. Even if so the case, why should he hate and cheat me??Is that because I oppose his love?? Suddenly *** Slap (a guy hit John)………….!” “Hey (*******) are you done with it??” asked a rude voice from beneath. It was one of the gang member from the attorneys security..”NO” said John with a vengeance in mind and tears in his eyes. No one should get into a situation like that John prayed to god and I will definitely pay them back vowed John.”ringggggggggggg” like the god signaling a go to his vow his mobile rang .it was Sandra asking John whether he is done with the Job ,if not then finish it off and to return home quickly for Lunch. Before she could finish the mobile got switched off and John had to walk a long way to make a call. It was then he asked a security for permission to go out to make a call, that time he say Sebastian in the upstairs. Previously that morning when John inquired for Sebastian, the security person said he is not at home and he had gone to college. John caught him, He rushed towards Sebastian and asked him to say the truth he disregarded John. But John manages to get all the possible information from him. He also agreed to say the truth to his father and relieve John from this. It was almost 2pm, Sebastian’s dad arrived and it was then Sebastian explained all the mishaps John. Soon he spun another story, saying that John only asked him to say so. And now it’s totally useless to stay quite john bashed & smashed. Sebastian and Got into more trouble. Sebastian’s car driver was on John’s side and he knew all the matter happened and so he explained things that happened to the attorney. Now it’s time for the final verdict. John was devised 10000 penalty for his data loss>and it has to be handed over to him by that evening 7pm.John was asked to sign a Blank bond paper. John refused to sign in it as they can fill anything. More over John is a Major and that sign can matter a lot to him. He was threatened but John never gave up. At last they filled in the paper and John has to sign it anyway.
As soon as John hurried back home he rang up to many of his friends to arrange for 10k but all of them were helpless. Almost all of them showed their real colors. But it was not their fault coz except John No one can ever manage to arrange such huge amount within 3 hours, almost all of them still kids fetching money from their parents so none can be mistaken. John had to Rush home coz his parents will be eagerly waiting for him. He reached home back and it was the first time John started lying to his parents and that continued ever. After all “The path to the truth is found in the spaces between the lies.” John did so coz “my parents they can't swallow facts, so let them eat fiction.” As a son if my lies can make them happy I’m ready to lie for them. Even if I can’t make them happy at least let me make them live peacefully. John was put up in a Study center for boosting his mathematics. So around 5.30pm he started out in the name of tuition and proceeded west to meet his old friend Eric-the only Person who he can trust upon now. He explained what all happened and then gave an idea to Eric that he can mortgage his new mobile and could pay the money to settle his debt @ the attorney’s place John somehow managed to arrange 3k from his savings and other friends and all he needs now is 7k by mortgaging the mobile for this they sort the help of Kennedy who is a class mate of Eric. He somehow managed to help john in the process of mortgaging. Thus John paid the money to the attorney but the greedy attorney failed to return the bond stating that he was late by 10 minutes of his deadline and he wanted more money that he stated earlier. After an hour fight back John got his bond back and to his happiness tore down into pieces. But soon another trouble followed him, which was nothing but the recovery of his mortgaged mobile which he has to do it within a week’s time or else it cannot be redeemed.
