Catch

"Catch me! No, you don't." Jane shouted with a precious stone in her hand. It seemed like a crystal ball that symbolises fortune and health. She was impressed by the artistic works that were on the crystal ball. John was panting hard and dashing for his crystal ball, his 8-year old cousin had taken it away from his room without his permission. "Come on! Catch Me! Nanny Nanny Poo Poo you cannot catch me..." She shouted arrogantly. All of a sudden, the crystal ball dropped and a loud piercing sound was heard. Jane had slipped the crystal ball inadvertently from her palm. John broke into tears, the crystal ball was left by his late mother before she passed away just a few months ago. John became an orpan at just the age of 12 , his dad had died of tuberculosis due to much smoking. Sadly, her mother who had been looking after John with tender loving care, had died due to the grief of her husband's death. He sobbed desperately and recalled what her mother had said in her last breath ' It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited, John, learn to forgive, forgive your mum and dad for leaving you early, you will always be my dearest son in heaven' After a moment, the rage in his eyes had turned into mercy. Jane stood rooted to the ground, awaiting for John's reprimanding. She never thought that the crystal ball was left by her mother. Until her aunt came into the room to clean up the mess. She said:" Jane, it was from his mother"

It had been a hard time searching for a similar crystal ball , Jane had been searching a similar one for 10 years, until she found one that was exactly the same as the one she broke 10 years ago. On the day of John's birthday, Jane called upon relatives and friends to hold a party for him at the beach. At the beach , John was surprised , relatives and friends were there to celebrate for him. From afar, Jane shouted : " Quick ! Catch me!"John seemed puzzled but still obeyed his cousin by catching her. Jane ran in slow pace and John caught her. Jane handed a box to him. John opened in astonishment, the crystal ball was there. John said: "Now that i have caught you, i have forgiven you"
