CHAPTER 1

IT WAS 1976, I JUST APPEARED FOR THE 10TH EXAMINATION AND THE RESULT WAS ABOUT TO DECLARE AFTER A FEW DAYS.

I AM ADRIAN ALFONSO, I HAVE NO FRIENDS BECAUSE I DON’T BELIEVE IN PEOPLE. I JUST LIKE TO BE WITH NATURE AND ANIMALS, AT LEAST THEY DON’T PLAY WITH FEELINGS AND BREAK TRUST AND GOSSIP ABOUT ME. MY FAMILY BELONGS TO GOA. MY HOME IS JUST A LITTLE BIT NEAR TO THE  BEACH. I LIKE THE VIEW FROM MY BALCONY IN NIGHT TIME. SHINY SEA WITH SILVER SAND AND A SMILEY MOON!

I WAS NOT AFRAID OF THE RESULT BECAUSE I GAVE MY BEST FOR THE EXAM AND I WAS CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GET ABOVE 69% AND WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR ME.

AT LAS, THE DAY ARRIVED! I WAS NOT AS AGITATED AS MY FAMILY. THEY WERE JUST CREATING A SCENE AND MY RELATIVES WERE GOSSIPING AROUND. AUNT MARY, MY FATHER’S ELDER SISTER. SHE IS KNOWN AS THE  GOSSIP QUEEN IN OUR FAMILY.

AFTER MY FATHER’S DEPARTURE FROM LIFE, MY MOM WAS ALL ALONE WHO MOTIVATED ME TO COMPLETE MY STUDIES INSTEAD OF BURDENING ME WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES.

“ADRIAN, WHAT ABOUT YOUR RESULT DEAR? ARE NOT YOU GOING TO VISIT THE NEWSPAPER CENTRE?”

“AUNT MARY, DON’T YOU WORRY ABOUT MY RESULT. I KNOW I CAN SCORE GOOD AND WON’T LET MY FAMILY DOWN. I WILL JUST FINISH MY BREAKFAST AND HEAD TOWARDS THE NEWSPAPER CENTRE. EXCUSE ME.”

I KNOW WHY SHE ASKED THIS QUESTION. HER SON JAMES SCORED 75.5% LAST YEAR, SO SHE JUST WANTS TO SHOW OFF IF I GET A BIT LESS PERCENT THAN HIM. SHE WANTS TO PROVE HOW MY MOTHER FAILED IN MAKING THE DECISION OF LETTING ME STUDY INSTEAD OF FORCING ME TO WORK.

“CARY, I WONDER HOW CAN ADRIAN BE SO CARELESS AT SUCH A  MOMENT? DIDN’T HE KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EXAMINATION? I  WOULD RECOMMEND LETTING HIM WORK IF HE GETS FEW MARKS.”

“DON’T WORRY MARY, HE WILL GET GOOD MARKS AS YOUR SON JAMES.”

“CARY, YOU KNOW MY SON IS INCOMPATIBLE. RIGHT JAMES?”

“YES, MOM.”

I WENT TO GET MY RESULT AFTER MY BREAKFAST TO PROVE  BOTH  MOM AND SON WRONG.
