PART 1 :-
STARTING OF THE FRIENDSHIP
In the universe, there are so many stars and planets, but there is one planet full of wonder and its called earth. Their is so many creatures lives on its lands, among with billions of people. But this is the story of one boy among those people.
In the Land of Aaru [*], there is an orphanage named Joyful. Many orphan children live there until they turn 16 years old and choose their own path in life.
MC[*] perspective :-
It's a sunny day, and lie down on the ground full of grass. I feel more relaxed here than in the class; at least nobody sees me with those eyes here. Now it's break time, so it's ok to be here. Some noise comes from the bushes. Well, our orphanage is at the bottom of the hill, surrounded by forest. I am not in the protection barrier right now. The bushes rustled a little. I grab a knife from my pocket.
"What! A boy?" I was surprised for a moment.
"Aa... Ha... Aa... Ha... Water... Water... Water... Please give me some water," he said and fainted.
Well, thank God I have water, so I splash water in his mouth, and after he regained his consciousness, I gave him water.
"Hey, I'll give you some water, so don't worry. Drink slowly, okay?" I said gently.
"Thank you," the boy said and drank the water I gave him. He looks hungry as well, so I offered him food.
"Hey, want to eat something?" And he immediately said yes to me.
"What is your name? "I asked him. And he gave the answers to my question while eating my garlic bread nun with butter.
"Aaaamm ... Well, they call me 3k34 ... Aaaamm, Aaaamm."
"What kind of name is that? It's so odd." While I was asking him again, he looked at me with wondering eyes and said to me after finishing his food—
"Well, I came from a poor family. After my parents' death, my uncle sold me to some research company for money, and I became their test subject, but I was able to run away from that hell."
"I asked your actual name, stupid."
"The last thing I remember is that my mother called me Bond in a dream. I was little back then, so I don't remember very much. I guess my age is around 12 years, maybe. The only thing I saw from my dream is that my mother called me Bond."
"Woo, that's a cool name. Well, my name is Bright. I live in this orphanage, and I am 12 years old too, so that means we are the same age. That's awesome."
My eyes sparkle with joy because this is the first time someone has talked with me for so long. At that moment, my stomach makes a sound.
"Are you hungry?"
"Well, I gave my food to you, but that doesn't matter. I've faced this situation many times. Ha… ha… ha…"
"You saved a stranger and gave your food, knowing that you would be hungry? You are a strange kid."
"Well, everyone tells me that I am strange."
"Then allow me to repay your kindness. I will do whatever you ask of me."
"Really? Will you listen to anything I ask?" I ask happily. "Then… will you become my friend?"
"Why are you crying? I'm sorry. I know I'm cursed, and I still asked you something like that."
"No, I'm just very happy. I thought you would make me your slave, but you asked for something I feel I'm not worthy of. You didn't even ask about my clan."
"Well, I don't even know my own clan, or whether I truly belong to any religion or not. I don't care about those kinds of things. You know, I don't even know my parents or have any family. I'm alone. But are you okay with being my friend? People say that I'm cursed."
"I don't give a shit about people's opinions. You saved me, and I don't care whether you are cursed or not. It would be a great pleasure to become your friend."
And that's how I made my first friend in my life.

Bond's perspective:-
I am so tired. But if I am not running I will die for sure this time. Please somebody save me ;
"Aa... Ha... Aa... Ha… Water...Water..... Water... Please give me some water,"
"Hey, are you okay?" A boy who looked about the same age as me asked me and gave me his water bottle.
"Hey, want to eat something?" What a strange person, who gives a stranger food, I guess he is a foolish kid.
"Woo, that's a cool name. Well, my name is Bright. I live in this orphanage, and I am 12 years old too, so that means we are the same age. That's awesome."
So his name is Bright…ha. What a strange conection, his words match with his eyes. It's sparkling like he enjoy talking to me, I guess. Suddenly his stomach make sound. What?? Is he hungry? So why he gave me his food and water?
"Well, I gave my food to you, but that doesn't matter. I've faced this situation many times. Ha… ha… ha…"
What a foolish kid. Who in this world make himself hungry and feed a unknown person?
"You saved a stranger and gave your food, knowing that you would be hungry? You are a strange kid."
"Than allow me to repay your kindness. I will do whatever you ask of me."
Oo shit! I messed up, what if he asked me to become his slave or told me to kill someone, what will I do? Well atleast it's till better than that wretchedness[*] place.
"Really? Will you listen to anything I ask?". "Then… will you become my friend?"
Whaaat!?? Someone's ask me to become his friend, am I really worth enough for calling myself someone's friend???
What, tears in my eyes, when the last time I feel this much happy? When the last time my tears come from joy.
"Why are you crying? I'm sorry. I know I'm cursed, and I still asked you something like that."
A person with this much kind heart, have a curse. Like l hell care, this cursed person is like a gift to me. But if I tell him my clan, will he going to accept me?
"No, I'm just very happy. I thought you would make me your slave, but you asked for something I feel I'm not worthy of. You didn't even ask about my clan."
"Well, I don't even know my own clan, or whether I truly belong to any religion or not. I don't care about those kinds of things. You know, I don't even know my parents or have any family. I'm alone. But are you okay with being my friend? People say that I'm cursed."
"I don't give a shit about people's opinions. You saved me, and I don't care whether you are cursed or not. It would be a great pleasure to become your friend."
And that's how I made my first friend in my life.

PART 3 :-
SURVIVING
Land of Aaru beleive in the region of BIRD [*]. There are different types of faith or clan, like HORUS, NEKHBET *, RA *, BENNUE * but then come clans like HAGAR* , SHABTI* , MAMLUKS* , HEM NETER *. When believers choose to separate their paths, ego and hatred emerge, and faith starts trembling.
MC perspective:-
"So, what will you do now, Bond?" I asked him because he told me that he had run away from an experimental company.
"Well, I have to hide myself. I don't want to go back there."
"Then why not join my orphanage? You also don't have anyone, which means we can stay together."
"Can I really be with you?" he asked with joy in his voice. That was the first time he had spoken with so much happiness. I had to make sure he stayed with me, no matter what.
"There is only one problem. Everyone hates me, including the supervisor, Mr. Kal. If he learns that you are with me, he will definitely deny your admission. But the owner of Joyful doesn't hate me that much, so I believe that if I request him, he will listen to me."
"Then let's go to that person." He told me but -
" The owner does not here in Joyful but I believe he come back very soon, so you have to hide before he comes back to Joyful."
I live on a floor where everyone can see me, so I can't leave him there; the rooftop is not a good decision.
"Ohh, right, the storeroom. They always give me the duty to clean the room. It's perfect for hiding."
"This is the afternoon class time, so nobody will see us. Come carefully."
We both go to the room, making sure that nobody sees us. After reaching there, I tell him that he should only come out when I call his name. I make sure he has a proper place to sleep and that nobody will be able to see him, even if they enter the room.
For me, if I want more food I have to work hard or follow every oder from the workers.
"Hey, curse, why do you need double food?" the chef of our hostel asked me .
" I didn't have proper meal for two days, if I don't eat properly my body will gave up soon,"
"Oohoho… we are so sorry. We never thought about your health. Haaaa… haaaa…" they laughed.
"Did you forget that you will only have food after everyone has their meal? A curse like you shouldn't be in this hostel. I don't know why the lord brought you here."
It's not the first time I've heard those words, so I don't feel sad or react anymore.
"That's enough. He did his work. Give him his food, and then you have your meal and leave. He will not have double. Give him the same amount as always."
"Yes, Mr. Kal."
"Hey, Bond, come back. I brought food for you."
"But that's not even enough for one person. You didn't eat lunch. You have to eat that."
"Well, didn't you hear the quote that sharing a meal makes the taste double? Whenever I share my food with animals, it tastes so good. And this is the first time I'm sharing food with a human. It's so tasty." 😋
Tears come to my eyes with joy.
"Yeah… you're right. It's tasty."
[ Very next day at canteen. ]
"Hey mox , why he always go to the store room from yesterday evening?"
"Well, I don't know anything about that. So what? It's not like everyone will eat with him."
"There is something wrong with him. He always goes to the forest. Maybe he hides something, like a dog or a cat."
"Well that's possible, mr Kal."
We both eating our meal in the storeroom and the disaster happened.
"Who would have thought, you hide a human here curse."
"I can explain, Mr. Kal… he… he…," I tried to tell him, but the look on his face was a disaster—an angry face with eyes full of red.
