Prologue

 It was dawn and raining. Cloudy weather with thundering twitches in the sky. All grey colored sky with windy atmosphere and I was in the mid of the meeting; the 8th round of my new job. Details are as follows:

“What’s that with you and memory?” Dr. Finch, the psychiatrist asked.

“I have been always good in remembering things. I mean that’s just totally me which distinguishes from others.” I replied.

“The good ones or the bad ones?”

“Both, I guess! I have no control over them. They just come all over again at once whenever they want. Bad ones mostly.”

“Is your mind focused now?”

“I guess so.”

“Do you understand the consequences of joining our firm? Your current identity will be lost forever. But the good part is people like you are only hired here. You will be always under surveillance of a partner. You need to adjust with him.”

“He? Who’s going to be my partner? I don’t need any partner please.”

Why? He is very good. I’m sorry you need to get a partner here as per our choice. According to shuffling, your match is with…”

“With whom? Why did you pause?”

“Mr. Conan Brighton. Your fellow partner in high school.”

“What? How do you know that? That was ages ago. And we are not in contact since after.”

“I am sorry, Dr. Emily Roosevelt. This is my final offer on behalf of our firm. If you agree with the terms and conditions of this association, then you can begin your new life as soon as possible. Your first posting is in Seychelles.”

I had no other choice left. Either I had to continue with my current stinking life where I didn’t like anything anymore or I need to leave everything, including my identity and patch up with a partner with whom I competed all my life. I was dwelled into my own thoughts for over five minutes.

There was indignant silence in the room.

“I have decided. I want this job. I am ready to sign the agreements. I am ready for Seychelles.”

Soon I filled the form and signed all the agreements.

Everything was done under next fifteen minutes. I was all set to start a perilous but exciting life journey leaving behind everything except my body and my mind.

Chapter 1

 Time- Fall, 2007

It was the night, I could not sleep before I left my home town for the first time, and my family, behind me. I used to live with my family in a town where there was hardly any opportunity of growing up easily, especially for girls. I always had this fire inside my belly to dream. Dream to do great things for the world. So that, when I die, people remember me not by my face but by my deeds. For example, Mother Teresa.

 I was 19 years old, five feet two and a half inches tall. Please don’t forget the half inch. It makes a very little difference, but still, there’s a difference between five feet two inches and five feet two and a half inches. I weighed 78kgs most of my lifetime and thus, I never competed with any girl of my age. I competed with the weighing machine showing 80kgs. So this combination made me quite chubby. And believe me I never thought of having a model like figure. What’s the motto of life where you eat half an orange n wait for two hours to come again and have one salmon as lunch? No, no, no, no, no! That’s something that my principle of metabolism denies. I don’t feel guilty in saying “Yes, my precious brain comprising of two cerebral hemispheres that operates my every decision, augmentation, discipline and rewards, needs an enormous amount of glucose.” Now is it my fault the brain doesn’t eat proteins and craves for glucose only. A little here and there fat doesn’t bother me.

 My mother started crying when I was leaving. And so my sister’s eyes were red. She must have cried all night. She was eight years younger. The moment she opened her eyes after her birth, she saw me first, not my mother. Till then, Lakeisha and I never got separated. So, yeah that was going to be our first time. She was just twelve years old. I hugged both of them and said “Take care.”

But I didn’t cry. My determination was strong enough to be a doctor. ‘A brave doctor.’ I was living my dreams in real, alas! I couldn’t actually see anything at all that was going around me. Yes, I was a total nerd but ambitious. Is it a problem to be an ambitious individual? I asked myself when I was sitting in the car with my dad. He was going to see me off to the airport. That was my first time I left home and that was also the first time to open the gate for my inner emotions. I was feeling sad, but also happy at the same time.

 We arrived airport at 8a.m., where I was supposed to meet my agent of the Apex Consultants, who made all the arrangements for me. I was going to China to study medicine, with many other students who belonged to the same consultant and also from Aspertek consultants agency. I was the only one who belonged to North India. Others were from South India, different provinces.

 As we were all from India, unity in diversity had to be involved showing different skin shades, regions and religions. The consultant gave us our passports and currency in dollars that we were supposed to change in The Bank of China after arriving there. And then the agents broke the news to us nineteen or eighteen years olds that nobody from the agencies were coming to direct us till we reach our destination.

 And we all batch mates saw each other with distinguished surprise looks. We were supposed to be our own guardians then onwards.
