All of a sudden, the words of Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend, struck to his mind (Arthur Ashe had two heart surgeries and due to a blood transfusion, he got contracted HIV).

"Didn't you ever curse God, why me? for giving this disease?", asked a fan.

He replied "There are 50 million people who play tennis, 5 million people who play it seriously, 50,000 can make into leagues, 50 can reach Wimbledon, only 4 reach semis, 2 reach finals and only one stands as a winner. I won many titles in my career. I never thought 'Why me' then, why should I think now?

Yes, Arthur is my inspiration. He didn't give up even when the sadness engulfed him. Compared to him, I'm nothing. He is my inspiration. I should live.

On walking, Varun finds a big hoarding quoting the words of Zidane, French football legend

"I once cried because I had no shoes to play football with my friends, but one day I saw a man with no feet, I realized how rich I am" -Zidane

He still remembers how his fans used to cheer him when he entered the field, when he smashed his opponents to defeat, when he won the titles.

The world around him changed to a stadium. "Varun, Varun!! Varun, Varun!!" - he could hear all those chants. 'Here comes the youngest ATP junior tournament winner Varun'. He could see everything before him. He could hear everything before him.

Tears rolled from his eyes. He realized how big mistake he was going to commit. 'I was wrong, I shouldn't die' he thought.
