Eye of Repentancy

A Man and a Beggar

One day there's a small entrepreneur that bought a place into a not so busy street of Ilang-Ilang avenue. Mr. Cylde, the entrepreneur takes a rent for his electronics shop that sells different kinds of devices and provides services for his customers.

As the time passed by after selling and providing service for long years, his business are slightly growing that he can support his daughter for its middleschool.

One day when he opened the shop he saw a beggar sleeping in front of his shop and violently kick the poor man that make him awake and run away, his fellow neighbor businessmen Mr. Henry saw the happening and told Mr.Clyde that he don't need to do that to a beggar, and Mr. Clyde didn't respond.

On the other day when he opened the shop he saw again the beggar eating his snack in front of the shop then Mr. Clyde yelled at the poor begar resulting the food of the beggar was spilled on the ground then run away again.

On the following days, when he will open the shop at around 7am he always encounter the beggar. One day when he opened the shop Mr. Clyde smelled an unpleasant smell and splash the sleeping beggar with a cold water and the beggar as expected run away because of fear, all of the violent doings of Mr. Clyde was seen by Mr. Henry and talk again with Mr. Clyde that "what did the beggar ever done to you?" And Mr. Clyde doesn't respond again.

On the other day when he opened the shop, the beggar wasn't there and was somehow make Mr. Clyde happy, but in the next more days when he will open his shop the beggar is not in front of his shop that makes him curious and worried that's why he ask his neighbor Mr. Henry if where is the poor beggar but his neighbor told him that he don't know and he also ask his daughter if he saw a beggar around their shop when ever she got home from school but his daughter told to him that she didn't know neither, out of his curiousity Mr. Clyde remembered that he is managing a electronic shop where one of his products are CCTV's and installed one in front of his shop then later checked the the recordings, he rewind the recordings on the day when he first encounter the beggar, when his shop is closed at night the beggar seems to clean the filthy front of the shop by picking one-by-one the trash and the beggar spends its night in front of the shop and Mr. Clyde saw his violent action when he opened his shop, he kicked the beggar after cleaning the front of his shop, on the other days the beggar still cleans the shop and always doing violent things to the beggar. when the time the shop smells awful he saw on the recordings that it is because a drunk man pee's in his shop and the beggar attacked the drunk man and expelled out in front of the shop the drunk man and the beggar spends again his night in front of the shop and when the sun comes out Mr. Clyde saw again his violent action by splashing cold water to the beggar where he thought that the smell was becuase of the poor beggar.

Mr. Clyde was sorry for him self because of his violence against the beggar, Mr Clyde continues to watch in the part where the beggar vanished on the night before the day he opened the shop, Mr. Clyde was shocked for what he saw, he saw a group of armed thieves that will break in into his shop and when the beggar saw the thieves.

He attacked them and fight to protect the shop and one of the thieves pulled out a gun and shot the beggar in its head resulting for the poor man's death in sake to protect the shop, The tears from Mr. Clyde's eyes came out feeling very sorry and shocked.
