I took a train and after reaching home, I gave the saree to my mom and the watch to my father. I thought when he would open the box my father would be happy. But when he opened the box, there was no watch. I realised, I would stay with 5-6 other boys in the same room and the house help stole it. I can't tell you I was so upset that day. I promised myself to work so hard that I can buy my father not one but 10 watches."
