Chapter 1 - WHERE All STARTED

The story began on the 13th of June, 1980 the day a boy was born into a middle-class home that had everything but love. And just as his life began, everything around him started to fall apart. His father, once a man of dreams and dignity, was crumbling under the weight of failing business, unpaid loans, and sleepless nights filled with worry.

With each passing day, the walls closed in tighter. And then came the decision not easy, not heartless, but necessary. In a final effort to protect his son's future, the father made a choice that would forever shape the boy's destiny. He sent him away.

At an age when a child needs his parents the most, the boy was left in the care of his grandfather his mother's father in a distant town, with a bag full of clothes and a heart full of questions. 'It's for his education,' they said. 'It's for a better life.' But no one explained why love had to be left behind in the process.

The father believed he was doing the right thing. That by stepping away, he was giving his son a chance at something more structure, schooling, stability. But in the boy's eyes, it felt like abandonment. In the quiet corners of his grandfather's house, between schoolbooks and solitude, he began to grow not with laughter, but with silence. Not with comfort, but with strength carved from absence.

That decision made in desperation would echo for years, shaping not just who the boy would become, but how he would see the world."
