He is the first in the family of four kids. Saddled with the responsibility of leading the others and being a role model to the community. He took up this gauntlet with all enthusiasm.
As of first, he never flinched, complained or yelled when pushed to breaking point, but carried out his duties with all diligence.
His most meritorious demerit was his uncanny ability to be so withdraw. Locked up in his own world at any chance he gets to be alone. Conversing with the voices in his head and analysing certain occurrences that happened in his life at the end of the day.
Separating the positives from the negatives. Weighing the chances of the negatives occuring in the future. Proffering solutions to the posterity bound inevitable ordeals.
This introverted personality of his has made him an indecipherable puzzle among his peers and a mental deranged person to his family. It got so worse that his dad once asked him one certain day,
"why do you live your life like you are in bondage"? but he replied his dad by saying,
"I live my life based on a viewpoint that you can't comprehend".
If only he could read his mind to see that, he doesn't cherish what others uphold the most. that his time alone is the most valuable thing in the world to him. That being unattached is not a curse but a blessing to the few that possess it and understand its efficacy.
If we all are socially expressive, who would pay close attention to the little details of life?
His personality aside, there is another demon that is howling like a wolf in his mind, which is anger. It envelopes his every sense of reasoning when affray comes knocking on the door. He always charges like a bull when quarrels sets in, yelling on top of his voice like a high tuned speaker. With bloodshot eyes.
At the sight of this infuriating look of his. His father feels he had failed as a mentor. All virtues he tried to instill in his precious leader has been washed down the drain of lividness. He retires quietly to his room after the ugly incident to brood over the matter.
Next he crys, "God!! is this the leader you gave me?"
In the solitude of his room, he's broken into pieces!
