Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 01: The Past

"Let me get straight to the point. It seems that you have had early stages' So that is how my life is going to end. It seems that I am walking into a tunnel of endless darkness'.

As long as I can remember, I was not a bright child in any way. I was lazy, weak, and above all a coward. Never challenging myself for newer and greater heights. Because of that I wasn't able to become a part of anything. No friends, no colleagues and no relations at all. That caused me to be a loner. an outcast in society. They often say that 'Sticks in a bundle can't be broken but sticks taken singly can be easily broken'.

I was able to live a quiet life till middle school. However, my days of misery started when I was in High School. My stand alone life led me to become an easy target for bullies. I was made to be a loafer to deliver their desired items to them through my pocket. Sometimes I became a bully target to vent their frustrations. I never thought of fighting back nor I had the courage to state my choice in the matter. This also led me to be hooked on indoor activities like games, manga and anime.

After my school life, I thought that things were going to be different since I am going to start a life as an adult. I started my career as a salesperson for an organization named 'Taka'. From there I learned quite a bit on how to deal with customers and to sell them the product at our mentioned price. It took me 3 years but I managed to land a major project deal for our company's product. This was the first time that I achieved something in my life. The feeling of an accomplishment was so amazing that made me think, 'why haven't I felt something like this before? What have I been doing in my life?' Life was going smooth, but all happiness doesn't last forever.

One day I suddenly fell unconscious during work. After I regained consciousness, I saw an unrecognized room. Suddenly the door opened and my boss came in. "What happened to me?", "Where am I?". I asked confusedly. "You suddenly lost consciousness and so I had to bring you to the hospital", my boss replied in a sorrowful voice.

This made me even more confused. "So what is my condition now?" I asked. "It will be better if you consult your condition with the doctor." my boss said as he pressed the switch to call in the doctor. As soon as the doctor came, "Then I will leave the both of you" my boss said as he left the room.

"What happened to me doctor?" I asked the doctor.

"Did you feel any kind of pain over the last few years?" The doctor asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, I did feel pain in my stomach and had headaches over the years, but as soon as I had some medicine, I didn't feel any pain", I replied quickly.

"Why haven't you done a checkup at any of the hospitals?" the doctor asked again in a conservative voice.

"No, I haven't had any chance or need to go to any hospital. And what is with all these questions?". "Can you please just tell me about my condition already?" I asked in an authoritative tone.

"How should I say this?" The doctor passed me a file envelope which contained my X-ray report. "Please look at this part of your stomach and head." the doctor said to me in a sorrowful tone.

"Yes, I can see that but I have no idea what I am looking for here. Can you please elaborate." I asked in a confused state.

of cancer. However due to negligence on full body check up the cancer has reached terminal stage."

"It is sad to say this to a young man like yourself, but you only have at most 3 month left to live" The doctor finally brought my death sentence to me.

I knew that I would die at some point in my life but as soon as I heard the news about my condition I went into utter despair and I tried to hold it in ,but I cried my eyes out.

"Sometimes it's better to break down in tears and show your emotions than to keep it all inside and not tell a single soul." the doctor said to me in a sad voice. "I will leave you alone for a while now." As he left the room.

Alone in the room he asked himself, 'Why me? Why me?', 'What did I ever do wrong to deserve this?', 'Why can I achieve my goals and dreams and be happy?' 'After all this work and stand alone live with no relationships with the opposite sex, he only have three months to live'.
