Jason grew up under the strict control of his father who worked for the army. His mother, on the other hand, was the purest soul he could have ever met. She used to scold Jason when he did bad deeds and used to also appreciate and encourage him to do good.
It was clear that Jason preferred to be with his mom under her care and loved when his dad went back for work purposes. The time he used to dread was when his dad used to return back from the army to spend time with the family. However, during holidays, he used to travel to his grandparent's house to spend time with them.
There was a strong reason for all that fear. One day during the holidays, he was playing fetch in the backyard of the house with their dog. The game continued and his father was observing him from nearby where he was barbequing. Suddenly, the ball he threw hit his father hard on the head and he fell down. Thankfully nothing happened to his father but Jason was worried. As he went to apologize to his father, his dad was seething with anger. As a form of punishment, he asked Jason to take 100 rounds around the house without any break. Jason ran but collapsed as he almost completed the punishment. He was soon wheeled into emergency and this incident scarred Jason in his life.
The constant fear he has of his father grew into his teenage years and continued until he was an adult. Just like him, his father wanted his son to be a part of the army but Jason hated the same. He wanted to be an entrepreneur so that he could succeed and create his own identity.
He wished to discuss the same with his mother when it was the right time. He had successfully graduated from University and was looking forward to speaking his ideas with his mother. She was pale with fear as the matter in his mind came out.
