(1st person p.o.v)
My name is Topu. Good name is Ariful Islam. I study in B.K. Government High School's eighth grade. In our class, there are forty-five male and female students, in the middle of it all my roll number is forty-five. I am not too tall, total age is near forty. I know if anyone heard my word, they are totally not gonna believe it and will say, why would a grade eighth student feel like forty years old for nothing? But it is the truth, I didn't exaggerate at all. When my father died in a car accident, I was ten years old, that time I was in grade five.
After that three years have passed and in these three years I have gone up by three classes. But after father's death, every year felt like ten years long to me, the experience one man should get in ten years, I began getting that experience in one year. That's why I feel like that in the past three years my age has increased by thirty years. Because of that, I said that I always think my age is about forty years old. The way one forty years old man ponders, I consider myself thinking like that, kind of like an old man. Who knows what's gonna happen when I actually turn old but I feel like before really turning old I am gonna die a long time ago.
