Can it be sonnet? Where do you place it from 0-9?

No it's not a sonnet Zahid. There will have to be 3 quatrains and a couplet with a structure of abab or if you want abba (if you choose petrarchan sonnet). You must keep to your chosen beat - if you choose 10 beats stick to it. The third stanza should contain a volta - or a shift in your telling. And the couplet must summarize the entire poem. As a sonnet, 4 because it does not follow form but at least it has 2 quatrains worth giving credit to. As a poem, however, 7.0. The good news is: there is room for improvement. So go for it my friend.
