Arthur's life seemed to be on an upward spiral, but nothing lasts forever. Just when he thought he was starting to get a grip on his life, his first love hit him with a harsh lesson. The joy he'd once felt quickly turned to sorrow as betrayal shattered his heart. For days, Arthur shut himself away, not knowing how to deal with the flood of emotions overwhelming him. His parents noticed the change, but like always, they didn't understand the depth of his pain.
His family, concerned for him, decided to take action. They bought him a mobile phone, hoping it would help him stay connected and engaged with his online studies. But Arthur, in his sorrow, found solace only in video games. He wasn't interested in the online classes anymore; his heart wasn't in his education. His grades suffered as a result, and soon, even his teachers noticed his drop in performance.
His heartbreak was no longer something he could hide from the world. Teachers began to look at him differently, and whispers filled the hallways. They labeled him a "weak student," which only made Arthur retreat further into himself.
But amidst all this, there was Rojma—a girl who had always been quiet, much like Arthur. She had noticed the change in him, and instead of avoiding him like the others, she made an effort to reach out. Rojma was the one person who truly saw Arthur for who he was—someone who wasn't just a student struggling with grades, but a person deeply affected by loss.
Unlike most people, Rojma didn't make him feel awkward about his pain. Instead, she offered him a safe space to talk, or even just sit in silence. She was there for him, whether it was helping him with schoolwork or just sitting next to him during lunch. It wasn't forced, and it wasn't a dramatic display. She simply showed up when Arthur needed someone the most. Slowly, Rojma became his closest friend, the one person who made him feel less invisible.
Arthur wasn't used to this kind of friendship. At first, he kept his distance, unsure of how to let someone in. But Rojma's patience and understanding broke down the walls he'd built around himself. They would study together, and in those quiet moments, Arthur realized that he wasn't alone anymore. The weight of his heartbreak was still there, but Rojma helped him carry it, little by little.
Still, even with Rojma's support, the world outside was harder to navigate. His teachers continued to treat him with disdain, and his classmates saw him as weak and distracted. But Rojma always had his back. When Arthur felt down, she would remind him of his worth, encouraging him to focus on his future, not just the hurt of the present.
One day, after a particularly difficult week of school, Arthur made a decision. He could either let the heartbreak and the judgment define him, or he could rise above it. And with Rojma's friendship as his anchor, he chose the latter.
Arthur started focusing on his studies again, not for anyone else, but for himself. He began to see his own potential, the strength he had buried under the weight of his sorrow. Slowly, the quiet boy who had once been lost in pain began to regain his confidence. He pushed away distractions and began to excel in his classes, proving to himself that he could rise above the struggles that had once consumed him.
By the end of the year, Arthur's transformation was undeniable. His grades improved, and his teachers started to notice the quiet strength he had always possessed. Rojma's unwavering support had played a huge part in his journey, but Arthur knew the real victory was his own—he had rebuilt himself from the inside out.
As he entered Grade 7, Arthur continued to move forward, still carrying the memories of his heartbreak but no longer letting them control him. He had learned that healing wasn't an overnight process, but it was worth it. And with Rojma by his side, Arthur knew he wasn't alone in this journey.
