Blue Fire: The beginning of a true warrior

Eps 4: Feeling of Shame.

15 Years later.....

Ace is a teenager. He knows what to do and what not to do. In his teenage years, he felt that his parents were too excessive in looking after him. He even once told his mother's father that he was already a big man, not needing more attention. He was forced to say that because he felt ashamed of his friends at school.

Tuesday at 08:10 at school. He walked to his class. Not the good morning he heard, but the insults and taunts that always accompanied him into the classroom. He tried to turn away from the words of his friends. But what is power. Someday, the stone will surely be destroyed, the iron will surely rust, the wood will definitely be weathered. An annoyance surged in his heart. He clenched his hands while holding himself back from momentary emotions. He experiences the same thing every day. Even once ejected from the mouth of his friend, who quipped about the blidfold he used.

Spoiled children, lost pirates, and others.

Sometimes at school, when his father picks him up on a bike, he just ignores it. He turned away from his father to be invisible to his friends.

Day after day Ace lived, but the attitude of his parents who always watched him closely. Didn't let Ace get out of sight. Ace is not allowed to go far, out of the house for too long, even to play at his friend's house, his parents must think first.

What every child should not do, neglecting his or her parents, is only to cover up the shame. Every parent wants the best for their child. Same with Ace's parents. But Ace ignored every advice of his parents, closing his ears while saying that he was already a big boy.

Thursday at 13:00 when Ace gets home from school. Enraged by the insults of his friends at school, he entered the house without knocking on the door.

Dooorr .......

The door that opens. At that time his father and mother were talking about something in the family room. Ace, without looking, went straight to his room and locked the door.

Ask, ask and ask. Confusion at the sight of Ace's attitude turning 180 degrees. Ending the conversation, his mother stood up, walking towards the door of Ace's tightly locked room. For no response, called no reply, persuaded only ignored. His mother kept trying to talk to Ace. They get the same treatment. Bak wants to pick fruit but the fruit does not want to be eaten. His mother kept trying, while Ace just closed his ears.

"Aces.....! Ace.....! Open the door!. I want to talk to you son.." persuade his mother (Isabelle) while knocking on the door.

"ssstttttt...(hold Isabelle's shoulder), leave her alone, give her time." said her father (William).

Time keeps passing. Ace did not come out of his room. He just sat looking at the window of his room.

At 21:59.....

The sky was getting late in the darkness, but Ace never came out. Her mother was getting worried. Tried again by him to reprimand Ace. His mother kept knocking on the door but there was still no answer from Ace.

Ace walked straight without turning his head, out of his room, towards the dining table. Then his father (William) tries to talk to him.

"Ace.......nak......are you okay?" said his father.

Ace was silent with a blank look in his eyes. His mother was very worried about Ace's condition which suddenly changed. His mother kept trying to reprimand him, serving Ace food, but there was no response at all. Her father and mother kept trying to reprimand Ace,

Suddenly.....

"Baaakkkkkkkkkk.......(strong table clapping sounds), what is it with father and mother?...... why should I be kept tight like this ?..... I can't do this that, I can't go anywhere I want.....why?" said Ace in a loud voice.

His parents were surprised by Ace's very different attitude changes. They tried to explain well to Ace, if all that was done was for his own good.

"Bright...... What ??? Huhh..... I'm a big mom, I don't want to be treated like a kid... I want to be free like kids my age...." ace answered his parents' explanation.

Ace explained all that his parents' attitude was too excessive. He felt ashamed before his friends, who every day decorated Ace's life at school with insults. Ace didn't want his parents to continue treating him like that.

His parents continued to try to calm Ace down, trying to persuade him not to get carried away by his emotions for a moment. Ace ignored all of that.

"Actually...... what are my father and mother hiding from me ?.... why should I continue to be watched ?... Ace said while looking at his parents.

Ace always touched on the secrets his parents hid and the blindfold he wore. Not getting the answer he wanted, Ace went to his room, slammed the door and locked it.

His mother was saddened by Ace's change in attitude. He could only sit with tears that dripped nonstop, while his father who continued to wipe behind his mother, while trying to calm the condition of the heart that was hurt.

"Patience my wife.

His mother continued to cry asking if something was wrong, whether the treatment was excessive, while all of it was done because of a very deep affection, he said, the fear of things happening can cause a storm of eternal tears. Said by his mother, is it time to tell Ace the truth. His father said that it might be time, but was still waiting for Ace to calm down.
