A man goes for a routine checkup. The doctor looks at the X-ray and says, “I’m sorry.”

What makes a mountain village man’s belly grow bigger with each passing month is anyone’s guess. Rohan laughs along with those who call him “pregnant,” but he’s afraid to touch the truth. When he steps out into the fields, the land is the only one that doesn’t ask questions.

But as he got older, the discomfort got worse. Breathing got more and more difficult.

He was taken to Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, which was far away from the places he was used to. The X-ray results came back, but no one would tell him what they were seeing.

Finally, Dr. Kumar came back looking serious and in a hurry. “We need to act now,” he said.

In the operating room, the atmosphere changed from normal to strange. As the surgeon made the first cut, the nurses noticed something weird. The head doctor was shocked by what was there. “This… this can’t be,” he said. More experts were called to help.

Rohan’s body was devoid of any tumours or growths. Instead, it was a human form, misshapen and undeveloped, complete with limbs, nails, and even teeth. Everyone in the room went quiet. Everyone was shocked by the discovery. The reason? A rare condition called ‘fetus-in-fetu’ is when a parasitic twin grows inside its sibling.

When Rohan woke up, he felt confused. Dr. Kumar gently explained the truth. For many years, Rohan had carried the remains of his twin brother without knowing.

News of the event spread quickly. Rohan went from being laughed at to being studied. The newspapers wrote about him.

After returning home, Rohan saw life differently. The fields looked different. The sky looked wider. He was more than just a person – he was a living example of the secrets of biology. The scar on his stomach was a sign that he had survived and a way of showing the strange things that had happened to him in his life.

Over time, the villagers’ views changed. The same people who had laughed at him before now said sorry. He accepted them calmly. He didn’t want to get even; he tried to tell his story to make people understand and be more humble.

Rohan finally found love in Padma, a kind teacher who admired his strength. Together, they went back to the land, working it and building a future based on simplicity. The world might have seen him as extraordinary, but for Rohan, the most important thing was the day-to-day life he lived.
