On casual Monday morning, Aaron was just sitting down on the couch having his usual cup of earl grey tea accompanied with his freshly made croissant. Suddenly, he thought to himself. "Why is everything around me in black and white? The flowers are grey and all the houses are coloured black and white." When Aaron was born, he was born with a colour vision deficiency which only allowed him to see the world in black and white. It was tough for Aaron, knowing that he will have to see everything in black and white for the rest of his life.
Although his fate was sealed, he still couldn't believe that there was no cure for his illness. And so, it was that moment that Aaron began in his search to find the cure that he ever wished for. Aaron studied intensely about the causes of colour blindness. He started to make theories about the cure and ways to rectify the problem. When it all looked like a dead end to his research, a fellow scientist who had been closely following his research given him a lifeline by inviting him over to the United States to work together to continue the research.
Aaron was ecstatic. He couldn't believe that such an opportunity has appeared right in front of his for the taking. He would accept such an offer but when he asked his parents, his parents immediately strictly objected the invitation. His parents were unhappy about the fact that he neglected his studies just to do research about colour blindness. Aaron was absolutely devasted by his parents' decision. All he could do is oblige with their decision.
For the next few days, Aaron just looked so down.
His parents were starting to get really worried about him especially when he is just staying in bed all day long. His parents had a long discussion regarding the invitation. After a heated and long discussion, they finally came to terms and agreed to let Aaron travel to the United States to continue his research. When they were breaking the news to him, they told him that they will be proud of him no matter the outcome of the research and they will always be his pillars of support in his efforts to create a better tomorrow for the unfortunate people such as himself and his parent that suffer from colour blindness.
It was the day. Aaron finally gets to continue in his pursuit to make a better tomorrow. It was a sad but happy sendoff for his parents who are heavy hearted by their son's departure. Five years later, Aaron and his fellow scientist partner have made a scientific breakthrough with unseen technology used in a pair of prototype sunglasses which tweaks the colour spectrum to allow people who are colour blind to be able to see the world in a different perspective with the presence of the uncountable amounts of colours.
The news of the scientific breakthrough spreaded across the world and eventually the news got to his parents. When the news got to his parents, his parents had a sigh of relief. They were over the moon. They were overjoyed with their son's success. Aaron couldn't be anymore happier when he tried on the pair of prototype sunglasses when he is finally able to see the wonders of the beautiful world, in colour.
