Justin, who was lucky to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth grew up finding life interesting was struck with a serious health issue in his early life which proper health check-up was carried out on him and was confirmed anaemic. His father who has blood group 'AS' volunteered to be the blood donor to the poor child, as both of them share same blood group. Justin who never forgot the incidence, often narrate it to Rita.
After Justin's internship in the University teaching hospital, he was retained as a medical doctor, he became fully financially independent and grew mature.
