Are you okay?” asked Flora.“I’m so shocked, Flora. I don’t want to talk,” said Farabi.“But you have to. Any pain or hurt is like a load in the mind. If you tell or share it with your parents or friends, it will be lighter. On the other hand, if you don’t share it, the load will become heavier and more painful. So please tell me what’s wrong,” Flora insisted.Farabi looked at Flora and said, “One of my friends Harun is our school football team leader.
