"It's high time you guys leave the apartment", Vijay roared at his two roommates,"You guys have been spoiling the room with all your bad habits. I can't put up with you guys anymore". They were IT employees living in a shared apartment.
"Mind your words !! Just because you were the first to come into this shared accommodation doesn't make you the owner of this apartment. We all share this apartment and the two of us have as much rights as you have here.", one of them responded in rage.
The other continued, "In any case, we don't want to stay anymore with a conservative stupid like you. We shall move out of here. But do remember this... Soon, you would realize our importance and come behind us begging us to return. We shall talk to you on that day".
" Get lost out of here both of you...!!! I don't wanna see you guys when am back in the evening after work.", he stormed out of the living room smashing the door, which closed with a loud thud.

As he was back home from work in the evening, they had already left the apartment. He felt more relieved than lonely. He spent half the night cleaning their left over liquor bottles and pieces of cigar. The apartment looked much neater to him after all the cleaning. He went to sleep with a contented heart. After a long time, he slept very peacefully that night.
As he left for work the next day, he noticed that a new family was moving into the flat opposite to his. He saw the watchman interacting with the lady of the house. He threw a gentle smile at the watchman as he moved.

"Is he the only one occupying that flat? Any problems here?",the lady asked the watchman, due to the inherent safety instinct she had, owing to her being new to the city.
The watchman, after ensuring that Vijay had moved sufficiently far, softly uttered, " Yes madam..he is the only one occupying that apartment and has been here for around a year now. He has a few bad habits and he keeps shouting, when he is alone in the apartment. Otherwise, no disturbance because of him to others. You can be safe."

PS: For those who still did not understand, the boy was having split personality where he perceived himself has one good boy and two bad guys.
