Rohan and Aryan, stood facing each other, their eyes locked in a tense stare. They were once the closest of friends, sharing every secret, dream, and ambition. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, they were bitter rivals, their friendship reduced to a distant memory.

The tension between them was palpable, a result of years of betrayal, competition, and hurt. They had both built successful business empires, but at a cost. Their relationship had become a casualty of their ambition, a sacrifice they both regretted but couldn't seem to repair.

As they parted ways, each returning to their respective offices, a small figure caught their attention. A 6-year-old boy, with big brown eyes and a mop of messy hair, sat alone on a bench, his tiny hands clutching a worn stuffed rabbit. The boy's eyes were red and puffy, his face streaked with tears. He looked lost and scared, and something about his vulnerability struck a chord in both Rohan and Aryan.

Without a word, they approached the boy, their footsteps synchronising in a shared concern. Rohan, the more outgoing of the two, crouched beside the boy, his voice soft and gentle. "Hey there, little guy, what's your name?"

The boy looked up, his eyes welling with tears. "I...I don't know," he stammered, his voice trembling.

Aryan's expression softened, his eyes mirroring the boy's fear. He knelt beside Rohan, his voice equally gentle. "Don't worry, we'll figure it out. But first, let's get you something to eat. You must be starving."

As they led the boy to a nearby café, Rohan and Aryan couldn't help but notice the irony of the situation. Two rival businessmen, who couldn't stand each other, were now united by a lost child. They exchanged a brief glance, a flicker of their old friendship sparking in their eyes.

Over hot chocolate and sandwiches, the boy slowly opened up, sharing bits and pieces of his story. He remembered his mother's face, her warm smile, and her gentle voice. But he couldn't recall his name, his address, or any other details about his life. Rohan and Aryan listened intently, their rivalry momentarily forgotten.

We need to find out who he is and where he belongs," Rohan said, his mind already racing with strategies and plans.

"I agree," Aryan said, his eyes scanning the surrounding area as if searching for clues. "But first, let's get him somewhere safe and comfortable. My place is nearby; we can take him there."

As the evening wore on, they discovered that the boy had been abandoned in the park, with no identification or clues to his identity. Rohan and Aryan exchanged a determined glance, their competitive nature now channelled into a shared mission. They would work together to uncover the boy's identity and reunite him with his family.

Little did they know, this chance encounter would be the start of a journey that would challenge their animosity, test their paternal instincts, and redefine the true meaning of family and friendship. As they walked out of the café, the boy's small hand in each of theirs, they felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this lost child would help them find their way back to each other, and to the friendship they once cherished.
