George Tanner, a 10-year-old boy from an abusive family, had always known hardship. His days were filled with fear and uncertainty, and he often sought solace in the quiet corners of the city. One fateful day, Arun found George huddled under a bridge, shivering from both cold and fear. Moved by the boy's plight, Arun decided to take him under his wing, offering him the safety and care he had long been deprived of.

"Don't worry, George," Arun said soothingly, wrapping a blanket around the boy's shoulders. "You're safe now. I'll take care of you."

Arun quickly became a father figure to George, providing him with a stable home and a sense of security. George wasn't a student in Arun's class, but that didn't matter. Arun was determined to give George the chance to experience a normal childhood, free from the shadows of his past.

Meanwhile, Charm's son Ben was a curious and energetic child, bringing joy and laughter to the family. His inquisitive nature often led him to explore the world around him, always asking questions and seeking answers.

"Mom, why is the sky blue?" Ben asked one afternoon, his wide eyes filled with wonder.

Charm smiled, ruffling Ben's hair. "It's because of the way sunlight interacts with the atmosphere, Ben. It's called Rayleigh scattering."

Ben's close bond with his mother was evident in their daily interactions, and he navigated the challenges of growing up with a sense of wonder and determination.

At the University Hospital, Benny's journey was just beginning. He worked in the A&E Department, specializing in emergency cardiac care. His intelligence and dedication quickly impressed his colleagues and supervisors.

"Dr. Leon, your quick thinking saved that patient's life," one of his colleagues remarked after a particularly intense shift.

"Thank you," Benny replied, his eyes gleaming with passion. "Emergency cardiac care is my calling."

Benny immersed himself in his work, constantly striving to improve his skills and knowledge. His natural talent in the field was undeniable, and he seemed destined for greatness.

Arun, in addition to his role as a primary school teacher, took up Sunday School teaching. However, Arun had always been known for his lazy tendencies. He often procrastinated and found it challenging to stay motivated. He was fully aware of his laziness and would often joke about it with friends and colleagues.

Stolen novel; please report.

"I know I'm hopeless when it comes to getting things done on time," Arun would say with a sheepish grin. "But somehow, life keeps going smoothly for me. I must have a guardian angel watching over me."

Despite his laziness, Arun found some fulfillment in guiding and mentoring young children, helping them understand the values of kindness, compassion, and community.

"Remember, children, always treat others the way you want to be treated," Arun told his Sunday School students one morning. "That's the golden rule."

Although Arun's interactions with the children brought him joy, his laziness often got in the way. He frequently postponed preparing lessons and sometimes showed up unprepared. Arun's colleagues and students noticed his lack of enthusiasm, but his genuine care for the children kept him going. Balancing his new role with his primary school teaching job was challenging, but Arun did the bare minimum to get by, even though he knew he could do better.

Arun attributed his relatively smooth-sailing life to God's care and guidance. He often expressed his gratitude during his nightly prayers.

"Thank you, Lord, for looking out for me despite my shortcomings," Arun would pray, clutching his diary. "I know I could do better, but your grace keeps me afloat."

However, not all was well in Shizi. Lime, a once-respected member of the community and Arun's cousin, was revealed to have a dark past. Both Lime and Arun had their paedophile tendencies planted when they were children playing doctor. Despite their shared background, their paths diverged significantly as they grew older.

Arun recognized his tendencies and sought refuge in religion, his little diary that he always kept with him, and his strong will. He turned to his faith for strength and guidance, pouring his thoughts and struggles into his diary, and relying on his unwavering willpower to resist his urges.

"Forgive me, Lord, for my weaknesses," Arun would pray each night, clutching his diary. "Give me the strength to do what is right."

While Arun's laziness affected many aspects of his life, his dedication to self-improvement and his community helped him manage his tendencies and focus on positive contributions, even if he didn't always give his best effort.

Lime, on the other hand, succumbed to his darker impulses. He hid his tendencies from others and eventually acted on them, leading to accusations of child molestation. The investigation and trial were harrowing experiences for the victims and their families, but justice prevailed.

"I trusted you, Lime," Arun said bitterly during a visit to the prison. "How could you betray everything we stood for?"

"I couldn't fight it, Arun," Lime replied, his voice hollow. "I didn't have your strength."

Lime was sentenced to prison for his heinous crimes, and the community came together to support the victims, ensuring they received the care and assistance they needed.

Despite the challenges and dark moments, the community of Shizi remained resilient. George found a new home with Arun, Ben continued to grow and explore, Benny's star continued to rise, and Arun, despite his laziness, found some purpose in his Sunday School teaching. Together, they faced the future with hope and determination, ready to overcome whatever obstacles came their way.
