Condominium Story

This boy was in form two.

A good and obedient boy he is. No discipline problems in school. The only son out of three children. He was the youngest.

His older sister 18 years old was in form sixth and scored 9A’s in her SPM examination.

The second sister 16 years old was in form 4 and scored 8A’s in her PMR examination.

His mother wants him to follow the footstep of his sisters that is to excel in his studies.

The result of his secondary one examination was not up to her mother’s standard.

He only managed to get 18th placement in his class out of 40. His mother was not satisfied with his result.

She sent him to tuition, got a teacher to coach him individually. No games. He was not allowed to play any games. His times was spent on reading! Reading! Reading! Books! Books! Books! Exercise Book! Exercise Book! Exercise Book!

There was a 1st term and the 2nd term of schooling. He managed to get better results. When he showed his mother his result, his mother scolded him and started telling him about how much she sacrificed. Her time, her money and everything else for him to excel. The boy just kept quiet.

His mother asked him, “What are going to do after this?”

The boy then walked towards the balcony of their 16th floor condominium, while walking he said, “Mama, I love you very much, I hope I will never bother you again with my failure to get higher marks as my sisters did. Please forgive me!”

He just jumped off the balcony from the 16th floor.

Thud – he was gone – forever. Dead.

CIKGUTANYA : I cried when I heard about this incident. I don’t want to know about his mother.
