“They would do everything together - eat, play, go to school. They were inseparable- like blood brothers. For the first few days when his friend stopped coming over, he kept on asking me why he hadn’t showed up. He had asked me to take him to his friend house but there’s nothing. His friend along with the family has perished in the landslide so I kept on making excuses. But I think he has figured it by now. He has stopped asking and doesn’t talk much. He just comes along with me to help clear away the debris everyday."_x000D_ - Met him and his father at Mahankal, Sindupalchowk
