My first story... A deed of kindness.

Summary:~

A good deed that we’ve done will be rewarded with kindness. Everyone deserved it even for Johan who was misunderstood by his schoolmates and others who did not know him. A kindness is not something that we can ask for but it’s something that we receive.

    There was a boy named Johan who’s in his year two in high school. Even in high school, he was known as a weirdo, he would wear a hoodie even in class and most of the time he would just stare into space. Nobody knows much about him since he always keep everything to himself. Even when his classmates talked to him, he would just nod or shake his head. So he’s a mystery to everyone.

Even though he’s like that, he would actually help someone when he saw someone in need. At one time, he saw a bird with an injured wing and he brought it back with him. But he would come out of his house more injured than the bird itself. He had a hard life with an uncaring father.  But he still save the bird from harm’s way and freed it after it was healed. At school, most people would avoid him when he’s walking along the corridor or anywhere else because of his brooding and serious face.  There was that one time that some guy accidentally bumped into him and suddenly Johan shoved him hard, away from himself as a reflex. He didn’t like anyone touching him.

The hoodie is like his protection from the eyes and gossips all around him. It’s as if he’s hiding himself wrapped inside it.

Unknown to him, there was someone who’s been observing and watching him from afar. Knew of his kindness that was hidden from anyone else. She then gave him a homemade cooking in his locker since he always eat foods from a convenience store from what she observed. To Johan, it’s a joke that someone was trying to pull so he just throw it away. Day after day there would be a homemade lunch in his locker, so he decided to try it for the first and last time if it’s a joke or not. When he ate the food, tears started to fall from his eyes. It tasted just like his mother’s cooking. How long has it been since he last tasted something this delicious. For the first time in his life, he cried it all out reflecting on his sad and painful life he had.

At least he thought, there is someone out there that care for him even if it's just out of kindness.
