Chapter 3 - Start 2

Sometime after my birth, My family left the village "Sak" to settle in the village "Kaud". My father rented a place from a doctor. I do not remember his name but I am pretty sure he was not a very famous doctor because of his specialty in domestic medicine rather than foreign medicine. At that time domestic medicine had not progressed much so everybody knew they were not that effective. But due his patriotic nature, He did even try to learn about foreign medicine.

After renting a place to stay, My father also rented a place to open a cloth shop. Well our life became good after that, not so much as struggling but we had enough to eat everyday and enjoy on special occasions.

When I was about 6 months, My mother re-joined the governmental clinic as a nurse. So finance became better than good.

When we were in "Sak", My father worked as a farmer for my grandfather's farm so he was not getting much but just food and shelter so all our external spending depended on my mother's salary.

But since my mother already got pregnant with my 2 sisters before me, She did not get a paid leave during her pregnancy with me. Due to which during the whole pregnancy and post-care, Our budget was tighter than usual.

And you know when budget is tight, Conflicts arise.

When I was 2, My father saved enough & bought a land. But you can't live on empty ground so he started to build a house. It took 6 months to complete a 1 and a half floor house. During the time of construction, our budget got even tighter. Our landlords for both shop and house were very good people, They reduced our rent by 25% during construction.

1 month before my 3rd birthday, We left the rented home and moved to our new house.

The next day just after our move, A worship ritual was held for spiritual positivity and prosperity. Many people were called.

At the age of 4 and a half, I started going to school. But I did not sit in my class but sometimes my 1st sister's class & sometimes my 2nd sister's class.

At the age of 5, I got electrocuted and got taken to capital city of my nation for proper treatment. The treatment involved plastic surgery and days in special care unit. After a week, I was discharged.
