One morning the father came out of the house with a knife and a cloth. He went to the front of their home, to their yard. There are plants there and there are some trees that are not that big. Their yard is soil because there are plants planted so they do not cement it. The father would use a knife and cloth to tear it apart and make a rag. The fabric was so thick that he had to use a knife to cut the fabric.
The father entered their house with the torn cloth and showed it to his wife. "Is this okay?" He asked his wife. "Yes, that's fine" the wife replied.
The afternoon passed and his wife needed to clean the fish to cook for their dinner. And she was looking for a knife to use in cleaning the fish and scaling and cutting as well. But a few minutes later she can't finds it. She asked his husband where he had put it earlier because he was the last one she saw using it. "Where is the knife you used before" the wife said . "Wait and I forgot it was outside the house" The Father came out and looked for the knife he had used earlier. But a few times when he looked at the place where he left it, he could not see it. When he entered the house, he told to his wife that it was no longer outside and that he might have brought it inside the house earlier. So the couple searched inside their home. But they can't really see it. They also asked their youngest daughter if she had seen it and she said no because she had only been in her room all day. The father saw his eldest daughter's boyfriend and asked him. “Did you see the knife? You were out earlier right?" The father asked the young man. "I saw it earlier in the kitchen" he replied to the Father. The couple searched in the kitchen again, but they couldn't really find it.
Their eldest daughter was at her job and her boyfriend was the one who was left at home with her family, because he lost his job because his co -workers allegedly complained about him.
The boyfriend of their eldest daughter is just quiet and shy. Sometimes it’s just always in the bedroom and he is always sleeping . He only comes out of their room when it's time to eat and he's bored because there is nothing to do. When he comes out he goes to the front of the house and sit there. He doesn't often talk to them except to his girlfriend.
She has only been the boyfriend of their eldest daughter for two months. The boy are only living for three months in their city. He was taken home by his girlfriend to their house after being fired because there he was no other place to stay. So the couple agreed to let him come to their house until he could find another job. But a few days, weeks and almost a months passed, he can't find a work. One day the parents asked their eldest daughter “Daughter, a few months passed and why is your boyfriend still not looking for another job? Aren't there many job vacancies near where you work? ” said the father. "I found out that he didn't even have any documents and ID so when he was asked for the requirements for the job, he couldn't pass anything." The child's answer. Suddenly the girl's boyfriend came so they stopped their conversation.
The next morning their eldest daughter went back to work. Just a few minutes later the girl's boyfriend came out of the room and went to the front of the house, to the yard. The Mother was cleaning inside the house and her husband was in the back of the house cleaning also. Their youngest child is in her own room because this is where she will take an online class. Later, the boyfriend of their eldest daughter entered the house and suddenly pulled out the knife that was missing from yesterday. "I saw it there in front of the house stuck in a small tree" he said. The woman who was cleaning the house looked at him and when her husband heard it, he immediately entered the house. "Where in the tree did you see that?" Father asked immediately. And the young man led them to the tree where he said he saw it. The couple was surprised because yesterday they also looked for it in those trees and in all corners but they did not find it. He found it so quickly just a few minutes after he left the house so the couple was surprised. After the three of them looked at the tree, they entered the house. The young man went straight back to his girlfriend's room. Lunch passed and it was about evening when the young man said that he would go out and just pick up his girlfriend at work so the couple allowed him immediately.
It already night when their eldest daughter comes home. And she immediately looked for her boyfriend "Where is my boyfriend?" She inquired her mother. Her mother wad surprised and stared at her and said "He went out earlier and said that he would pick you up". The girl was surprised when her mother said “What? He didn't pick me up and I didn't see anyone waiting for me there ” she said. The girl went to their room and saw no one else there. She saw that her cellphone was also there which was also used by her boyfriend because he did not have his own cellphone. She was amazed and all her boyfriend's things was also there. She didn't know where to look for him, few more hours passed. She also can't call her boyfriend because he doesn't have a cellphone or anything.
The next morning their neighbor called from their yard. He said he would show and tell them something and go to their house. Father went to their neighbor's house. When they were there, their neighbor immediately showed to the Father their CCTV footage from outside their house and ftom it their neighbor's yard can seen their. It can see there how the young man took and hid the knife inside his shorts. Several times he also took back and forth outside. And it also shows how the young man took the knife out of his shorts the next day and how he stabbed it in the small tree. The Father couldn't believe what he saw. After he saw everything he went home and told his family about it. The young man's girlfriend was shocked and wondered what her boyfriend had done.
A few days later after the young man disappeared, someone went to their house. She introduced herself as a former co -worker of their daughter's boyfriend. And they were surprised by the story of the reason for his departure from work. It is said that there is no good behavior and sometimes he suddenly disappears for no reason. She also said that the boy was doing things that were undesirable and strange in the eyes of everyone so they suggested to their boss to see a doctor but the young man did not agree and went away from work that day. That is why their employer was forced to fire him from his job so that he would not hurt other people. And they concluded that the young man was mentally ill. The girl was surprised by everything she heard, she didn't think about it. She was strange for the young man to know that he was far away from what his co -worker had told about him. In fact, the girl only met the young man less than a month before she answered yes from courting her. And they have only been dating for a few months. Suddenly it entered the father's mind why the young man hid the knife and where he should use it.
A few days later, the young man's co-worker returned to their house and told them that the boy had fled from mental hospital that's why he did not carry any identification.
So many months passed and they never really saw the young man again.
Lesson of the story:
-Don't immediately trust people you only know for just a couple of days. And first get to know the people you can trust.
Closing thoughts:
