This short story starts with a 15 year old boy whose name was Aryan.!

When Aryan studied in 9th class. One day, Aryan was going home with his friends during school holidays, when he met a man on the road, the man called Aryan and his friends near him and asked them for something to eat. All the friends give that man some food to eat and then go to their homes.

But Aryan came to know that he was in big trouble the next day.

Next day Aryan and his friends get ready to go to school together. And after some time all the friends reach school. Everyone sitting in the class room started talking about the fact that a man has come to our school who helped Aryan and his friends. But all the friends did not know that the man had come for Aryan.

The man there calls Aryan near him and asks him to sit. Aryan asked the man, who are you? And how do you know my name? Actually, Aryan did not know that his friends had called the man to kidnap Aryan.

  1. Did you know guys?
  2. Why would your friends have done that?
  3. Why would a best friend want to kidnap his best friend?

Aryan was a talented boy of his class. He was an expert in reading, writing and doing everything else. But the biggest thing about Aryan was that he could easily believe anyone there. Aryan used to help his friends in trouble. But his friends did not think that Aryan was intelligent. And they all started hating Aryans. That's why all the friends made a plan to use it.

Why does a person harm others for his own benefit? please do share in comment......!

  1. This man told Aryan this evening that why is he known there?
  2. And what have you come to do?

After listening to all the talks here the man does not believe at all. Aryan says to the man, “My friend can never betray me.” Here a man seems to have arrived after seeing the sun and starts using the pendrive.

The boy starts his pendrive in the computer and sees that all the records which his friends had planned were kept in the pendrive. The boy feels very bad after seeing this.

Because of this the boy's friends had lost confidence. He thought of taking revenge on his friends, but then he started thinking, if I take revenge on my friends, what difference will there be between me and him?

Then the boy did not change and has been living alone there ever since.

Conclution:

It shakes the very foundations of trust; and the scars caused by betrayal will last forever. True strength of character, however, is not about getting back but rather forgetting and reflecting. Aryan's choice to move forward from the sting of betrayal to rise above the pain of deceit teaches us the power we hold in defining who we are and in life when things go awfully wrong. Aryan did not mimic betrayal; instead, he chose self-reliance and resilience. He was the true power of the human spirit.
