Chapter 1 - Downward Spiral

A middle aged looking man, woke up in a hospital bed after an accident at his workplace. The man was unconscious and was bedridden for a couple of weeks, as the blast was enough to knock him unconscious or a coma rather for such a long time.

Weeks has past, and the man named Agama Baskar is doing a lot of therapy as he had lost both his legs due to a strong blast that occurred while he was on duty, no one knows why an incident occurred, only states that it was due to a gas leak near the armory.

3 months later as Agama was discharged, he had been on a wheelchair. Rendering him to work and earn for his daughter and partner.

" I'm leaving you, you are no longer the man I knew and wanted to be with! " Lyka, his partner shouted in distressed, while holding on to a young looking boy.

" What's wrong with you? Have you no shame?! Our daughter is right here, look at her! She's being traumatized and being scared of what you are saying! " Agama stated. 

" No matter, how long we endure, you will never be able to earn and be the man of the house! I will leave our daughter Janice to you as well! I know your family could take care of her! " Lyka, frustratedly shout as she leaves through the door without looking back. 

" Dad, I'm sorry for even being born.. I'm going to be a burden to you..." Janice sobbingly whisper while holding her dad's arm. 

" It's not your fault my love, we can make it! " Agama with a reassuring voice to calm Janice and pats down Janice's head. 

" To think all those years, wasted.. I even gave up on my dream for that woman... " Agama with a frustrated look on his face while he quietly thinks. 

" You should go to sleep young one, its too late now for you to be awake.. Don't worry about me, I'm fine.. I do hope that you are as well. " As calm as he can to let her daughter know, that they are both tired and shocked on what had transpired on their home.

" Sure dad, you too as well. I'm sorry if I can't help you with anything. I didn't think Mom would even do or say those things.. " Janice with a sad and confused tone. 

While Janice was going up to her room. The broken man, quietly moved his wheelchair near their window contemplating and thinking on what happened wrong, was it the fact that he lost the ability to walk? Or was it because he thought he could rely on his partner, and that the feeling was mutual. The emotion, rage and confusion is filling up his head. He had nothing to gain with this notion. He wanted to know why, but no one will know, as he had destroyed all forms of communication in related to that woman. 

" Is this the end for me? What can I do now.. What about Janice? " As he worriedly thinks about their future.

He sighed, and shook his head. Gave up the thought for the night, and is readily going back to his room.

As he was about to go to, his phone rang and was surprised who was calling.
