The Shia boy named Harman lived with his father Ali in the small home beside their house. They lived as workers but were very close to Aman’s father. He was very fond of Ali and treated Harman same as his own son with utmost love, care and affection. Harman was vulnerable to be attacked as he passed the streets.

Harman had always loved and protected Aman. He did things how Aman wanted. He never could hurt him. Harman had the purest form of affection for Aman. But in return Aman failed doing the same.

 

Ali and his son left the place and went because of Aman’s various incredulous behaviours.

 

All his life, this incident haunted him and he regretted about his deeds. He felt worse at the same time agitated whenever he heard his name on the lips of his father.

 

After many years Aman adopted Harman’s child after the death of the child’s father. He somehow wanted to reconcile and clean off the sins he committed being silent and blaming Harman without his mistake, letting them go away from his father, not reciprocating the love of Harman and many more.
