Umbrella by the Road (Story)

That day it was raining heavily. After class, Oybek stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus. Suddenly, he noticed a young man standing on the roadside, soaked by the rain. He was thinly dressed, wearing only a light jacket.

Oybek approached him and said:
– Come under my umbrella, you'll catch a cold!

The stranger looked surprised but gratefully stepped under the umbrella. On that day, the two young men became acquainted. The boy’s name was Javlon. He had recently moved to the city, and his family was not well-off. Oybek and Javlon quickly formed a close friendship.

Oybek always tried to support Javlon and be by his side. Whenever his parents bought him new clothes or books, he eagerly shared them with Javlon.

Days passed, years followed years. Oybek and Javlon finished school, and their paths temporarily separated. Oybek went abroad to study, while Javlon stayed in the city, working to support his family.

A long time passed. One day, Oybek faced a difficult situation. Returning home, he felt lonely and distressed. Suddenly, his phone rang from an unknown number:

– Assalomu alaykum, Oybek aka. This is Javlon. I searched a long time for you and am glad to hear you're well. Do you need any help?

Tears filled Oybek's eyes. The kindness shared on that rainy day beneath an umbrella had not faded even after many years.

This is the secret of true friendship: a seed of kindness planted in someone's heart never fades away. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
