उत्तर
FRIENDSHIP
Haroon and I were best friends long since we met in grade 5. He was the only friend I had when I moved to England with my family. We had studied in the same school and college but our path diverged as we grew up and followed our own ambitions. Haroon became a radio jockey and I became a lawyer. Though we were far apart, yet we would never miss an opportunity to meet each other and help each other in times of need.
One day he called me that he had been arrested and I went to rescue my best friend. I bailed him out of jail and then he told me that the previous evening when he was returning from his work, he had stopped at a nearby mart to buy some food items when he saw a black man beating up a teenager. Being a good Samaritan, he went to help the teenager and knocked out the man. The teenager ran away.
Haroon called the police and after investigation, it was found that the black man was the owner of the shop and was beating the robber (the teenager). Even though Haroon tried his best to explain to the police, what the misconception was, but no one was ready to listen to him and it appeared as he had accompanied an armed robbery and assaulted a civilian, and consequently he was arrested and taken to the jail.
Haroon was confused and shocked about what was going on and suddenly realized that he had actually saved the robber! I believed my friend as I knew he could never do such a misdeed and as he couldn't afford a lawyer, so I insisted on keeping me.
Haroon had to appear in front of a court to explain his actions. The police had caught the thief who was involved and he blamed Haroon of being the mastermind of the plot, even though Haroon had no idea of who he was. The video of the fight going outside the mart was shown which made Haroon look like the criminal. I argued that the tape inside the mart shall also be seen to prove that Haroon was innocent. Though the judge had made his decision, yet he ordered the tape to be shown and it seemed obvious that Haroon had helped the robber unintentionally. The judge saw this as a case of misconception and apologized for the problems caused. Overjoyed, Haroon and I congratulated each other.
