After Haar came to the capital he did all sorts of things to feed himself and attend school. Once he finished school he even saved a little to go to the university to study Digital designing and animation.

Haar was a bright student and quickly grabbed attention of his peers. Among them is Kai and Natasha who befriended him through the designing club. In no time, the three became inseparable.

In their sophomore year Natasha expressed her feelings for Haar and they became a couple. Those were the happiest times in Haar's life ever since his parents left him. He found the love of his life and a friend for life. He felt he found a family finally.

Along with Kai and Tasha he opened a small designing firm. His designs started to gain more popularity in competitions attracting investments.

Everything is going smooth in life until one day Haar found out the debts and losses the company was in because of Kai. He confronted Kai about it. But as the official owner of the firm Haar took all the blow. To add insult to injury, Kai also stole Natasha from him, they have been seeing each other for a while by then.

His dream turned to a nightmare at once leaving him emotionally, financially crippled.

A long time after that, he once again found his zeal for life when he started acting accidentally.

The people who he thought were like his family betrayed him in the worst way possible. At a tender age, his parents left him leaving at the mercy of his relatives who betrayed him. Later he worked so hard to make a decenet life only to be destroyed by his loved ones agian. He just blamed his fate for everything but seeing Tasha and Kai again today made Haar crazy.

He didn't knew what he is saying to Yoren completely intoxicated.

Yoren is seized by uncontrollable anger hearing the past. The person who always shown nothing but kindness to others had to go through this hell. A wave of emotions engulfed Yoren as he looked at the pitiful man infront of him.

The coming days, Haar looked like a ghost of the past.

"Cut cut"  Director Well looked so irritated. "We will resume filming after a short break"

"This is why you need professionals like me anyone thinks they can act these days" Tiera made a side eyed comment giggling.

A rage filled look was thrown at Tiera by Yoren. These days Haar couldn't even concentrate on work and even Tiera started to criticize him.

"Haar is there something bothering you? We have had 32 takes so far. You have done more difficult scenes in a single shot before. Is there anything that I can help you with?" Well is so worked up but among the cast Haar is his favourite so he took him out aside to voice out his concerns private.

"I am sorry Well, give me a few minutes let me clear my head" Haar looked pale.

"Okay, but if there is anything I can help you with, make sure you let me know" Well left the room.

Yoren heard this all accidentally from outside. He rushed in once after Well left.

"Senior..."

"Yoren, I am not in a mood to talk anything now. Please leave me alone for sometime" Haar's voice sounded dull and lifeless.

Yoren knew being alone is not going to make things any better for him. He has to face the reality.

"Senior, look at me" Yoren gently raised Haar's face.

"Get hold of yourself, don't let worthless people define your happiness. Dwelling in the past will give you nothing but pain and you deserve better. Let's do this together. I will be by your side okay?" there is a gentle care laced with anguish in  Yoren's voice. His eyes reddened.

Tears rolled down Haar's cheeks at once. It felt as if a volcano has finally erupted burning everything on its way. He wrapped his arms around Yoren tightly.

He never thought he would show his vulnerable side to someone like this one day. Since his childhood he managed everything alone by himself. When life threw stones on his way he could do nothing but walk foward with battered feet. Now there is a person infront of him who said he will walk the path with him.

Yoren composed himself as he patted Haar gently. With time Haar's arms around Yoren only tightened.

They healed each other in the embrace together.
