14 years Ago...
At that time it was 2011. Fahad is only 6 years old. Fahad was very happy that this was his first time going to his new school. Farooq came to Fahad's room and was surprised.
Farook didn't have to wake Fahad up today. Fahad got up on his own today. Farooq smiled and said, "Masha'Allah. It looks like someone is a lot happier and more excited today." Fahad also smiled and said, "Today I will get ready to go to school on my own."
Farooq laughed and said, "Really? My brother has grown so much? May Allah keep my brother healthy."
Then Farooq prepared to send Fahad to school. Then Farooq took Fahad's hand and walked him to school. Franklin stood in front of the school door. Franklin smiled warmly at Fahad and said, "Little Fahad looks so handsome today. Today, Fahad is getting a new school, a new environment, and after a while, Fahad will have many friends."
Then Farooq bought some food and put it inside Fahad's school bag. Then he took Fahad to the classroom. Then they both left. Fahad sat alone among many children.
Then suddenly some upper class boys came and started teasing Fahad. Fahad was crying out of fear. Just then, a child from behind said,
"Stop bothering that boy. I don't want to see your blood on your beautiful white shirt. It would be best if you left."
Then the boys from the upper class stopped bothering Fahad and left. Then the child came in front of Fahad, wiped his tears, and fixed Fahad's clothes. Then the boy said to Fahad,
"Be fearless, be ruthless. If you want to survive in this world, don't live like a cat for a hundred days. Live like a lion for one day. That would be the equivalent of living your whole life."
Then, when he was about to leave, Fahad called him, "Hey, wait. Thank you for saving me. What's your name?"
That kid smiled and said, "You don't need to know my name. But you can call me Frostbite."
Present...
Fahad. At night. In the dark airport. Standing against The Frostbite.
Fahad said to The Frostbite in a cold voice, "I haven't forgotten you. I never forget good people. But now you've changed a lot."
The Frostbite smiled at his words and replied, "I have never changed. I am the same as before. But you have changed. You were afraid of an ant. But now all the people in the world are ants in front of you. How?"
For the first time, Fahad smiled from his heart and said, "Don't you remember? You told me, 'Be fearless, be ruthless. If you want to survive in this world, don't live like a cat for a hundred days. Live like a lion for one day. That would be the equivalent of living your whole life.' I will never forget this."
Then Frostbite said to Fahad, "What are you doing at the airport?" Fahad replied, "After Farooq's death, Franklin wrote a diary. In that diary, there was a line that says, 'He may be the sky, he may be the wind. But he is neither. He is a man. And Fahad knows him. This killer may be on the head of a flying bird, between the earth and the sky, and in white clothing. But he is not a corpse. He is alive.' This directly refers to a pilot. And I only know one pilot."
Frostbite replied, "Pilot Captain Abraham." Fahad agreed with him and said, "Exactly!"
Frostbite said to Fahad in a cold voice, "Let's find out together, The Gentleman."
Fahad smiled at him.
