Goji…
A boy who was never "enough" in anyone's eyes.
He was brilliant in his studies.
He was hardworking.
He had a pure heart.
But the world only saw his face.
In school, he was mocked.
The boys in his class bullied him.
No one wanted to be his friend.
Girls would make faces when they saw him.
Some would even say it directly—
"Eww…"
Still, he stayed silent.
Because he had a place to go home to and cry.
His parents.
They always told him,
"Son, a person is known by their heart."
But just a few months after finishing school…
An accident took everything away.
His parents passed away.
From that day on…
Goji was completely alone.
There was no one in this world for him.
No brother.
No sister.
No relatives to stand by his side.
Just a small house…
and a lot of dreams.
Goji started working.
The salary wasn't much, but he didn't give up.
To fulfill his parents' dreams,
he took a home loan.
Every month, the EMI was deducted.
He worked day and night.
But one day…
A small mistake.
His boss shouted,
"Because of you, the company suffered a loss!"
And without giving him a second chance,
he was fired.
That day, he didn't just lose his job…
he lost his confidence too.
Bank calls started coming daily.
"Sir, your EMI is due."
"Sir, when will you make the payment?"
He had no answer.
He wandered from city to city looking for work.
In interview rooms, people would look at his resume — impressed.
Then they would look at his face — and say,
"We'll call you."
But they never did.
He was hungry.
Exhausted.
Broken.
One evening, he was crossing the road.
He hadn't eaten for three days.
His head was spinning.
Suddenly, a speeding car hit him.
He fell to the ground.
Blood began to flow.
People stood around watching…
But no one came closer.
This time…
He didn't want to die.
He wanted to live.
Just once… he wanted someone to accept him.
Just once… he wanted someone to look at him with love.
For hours, he struggled to breathe.
As his vision blurred,
his entire life flashed before his over
The laughter in the classroom…
The humiliation at the office…
Girls saying "Eww…"
And his parents' smiling faces…
In his final moment, he whispered softly,
"If only… I could get one more chance…"
And then…
His breathing stopped.
Darkness took over.
