1. Story begins

   I am Rohan. A 24 year old degree holder unemployed. A total useless person, as people think about me. But I don't care what they think about me.
   Today I have nothing to do. I wake up at 11 a.m, skip my breakfast, and sometimes lunch too. I sometimes don't even care for my dinner too. Reading and sleeping are the only stuff I waste my time these days. Yes, I do go out but alone. As, I couldn't make few friends to hangout with me.
   Anyway, this is not the discussion here that how useless I am today. How bright is my future? Definitely I don't know. But Yes, I have a past. A beautiful past full of ups and downs. A past in which I have friends to hangout with, a parent to care for me, a family to celebrate with me and obviously, a girl to die for. And I am proud of my past for this. But the sad part is, at every turn I kept loosing people who cared for me. May be it was my mistake but it happened. And today, I am left alone just with the memories of my past. The only companion of mine.
   But, this is not the start of my story. This is the end actually. This may be the start of another story. But today I am going to tell you from the start, when I was just five.
    Yes, I have been just five once, like you all. A sweet looking shy kid. This was the most amazing period of my life. Not just because I didn't have to study then. Not even because I was the center of attraction of my family. But because the attention I got from girls. Every now and then they came near me, squeezed my face muscles and kissed me. Every girl made me fall in love with herself. You don't believe it but I proposed few of them to marry me, and everyone agreed. But then, I was too small to take care of so many wives so I dropped the idea of marrying any of them.
   Anyway, I was not less than Tom cruise or Brad Pitt in my childhood. But as the saying goes, every Lion turns older or, every actor falls down, I was too getting older. And by every passing year, my so called girl friends started maintaining a distance from me. And soon, I was like the shakti kapoor, as no girl dared to get near me.
   But then, even shakti kapoor must have fallen in love. I was no different. I too fell in love at a very young age. Not more than 9 years old I must have been. I was in class 5 and she was a classmate. I was flat on her like my friend. Yes, we both liked the same girl. I was a little shy as I said but he was not. One day I saw him having lunch together during the lunch time. I got angry and beat him up. He complained to the principle and I was out of the school for next five days. Still I was happy about it but you know, our traditional kind of parents, they don't let you be happy when you are rusticated from the school for just five days. I wonder, how can they forget their own days. Anyway, the ghost of love was beaten out of my head by my Dad. And I had to wait for another good amount of years to fall in love again.
   Apart from these good events, one bad event too occurred in my life when I was just 9. A student, three years older than me, pushed me from the terrace of the first floor of my school building. I lost few tooth in the process and ended up being in the hospital. Right from that day I hate my seniors and the hospitals.
I decided that I will take revenge from that boy when I will turn 12. But unfortunately, he was 15 when I turned 12 and I decided to wait for another good 3 years.
