In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the whirlwind of life's challenges and opportunities, there lived a young man named Mark.

Mark was a bright student during his college days, full of ambition and dreams. He graduated with honors and a promising future ahead of him. However, life took an unexpected turn, veering sharply off the path he had envisioned.

Mark struggled to find stable employment in his chosen field. Rejections piled up, and bills started to mount. Frustration crept in, and Mark began seeking solace in drugs. What started as a temporary escape soon became a gripping addiction. The substances provided fleeting relief from his mounting stress and disappointment.

As his addiction deepened, Mark's behavior changed. He started borrowing money from friends and acquaintances, promising to repay them soon. However, those promises remained unfulfilled as he sank deeper into his dependency. His lies about his intentions and whereabouts became more elaborate, straining relationships that once held trust and camaraderie.

Among those Mark leaned on were his female friends and ex-girlfriends. He found himself increasingly dependent on their emotional support and financial assistance. His desperation to please them and regain a sense of control over his life led him to compromise his values and engage in risky behaviors. He would do anything to maintain their approval and companionship, even if it meant further spiraling into deceit and manipulation.

Over time, Mark's life became a tangled web of addiction, lies, and broken promises. His once bright future dimmed under the weight of his choices. Friends and family who once stood by him grew weary and distant, unable to bear the burden of his constant need for help without genuine efforts to change. And he Don’t care about anything even his family and best well wishers. Mark meet with some Wired person what was not core of his aristocracy. He talked only drugs addicted person and wanted to friendship with them.

One day, Mark hits Rock Bottom.

Alone in his cramped apartment, surrounded by reminders of his failures, he faced a moment of clarity. The realization of how far he had fallen and the damage he had caused hit him like a tidal wave. It was a wake-up call he could no longer ignore.

With the support of a few remaining friends and family members who refused to give up on him, Mark took the first steps toward recovery. He sought professional help to overcome his addiction and started attending support groups where he found solidarity and guidance. It wasn't easy. There were setbacks and moments of doubt, but Mark persevered.

As he began to heal physically and mentally, Mark also started the daunting task of rebuilding trust. He reached out to those he had hurt, humbly admitting his mistakes and expressing sincere remorse. Some forgave him cautiously, while others remained guarded. Nevertheless, Mark understood that rebuilding trust took time and consistent effort.

Through his journey of recovery, Mark learned valuable lessons about honesty, humility, and resilience. He realized that true strength came not from avoiding difficulties but from facing them head-on with courage and determination. He discovered the importance of seeking help when needed and the power of genuine relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

After that Mark got married and his family was growing.

Now His only son staying the same city. Unfortunately the city is not so friendly for Marks family. Nature has brought her beloved child to this city to exact her old revenge.

Nature owes nothing to anyone and nature will find the right person at the right time to repay the debt no matter how late it is.

This is the go of the world.
