"When 40 men with Guns showed up at School" - Drabid Subedi (The Storyyellers)

Drabid Subedi is Customer Operations Lead at Security Pal. At the 54th session of The Storyyellers, he shared about his personal experiences in Pakistan. He spoke about the challenges of isolation and bullying, and how he eventually found a sense of belonging.
"Do you have a PlayStation?" Ibrahim asked. Drabid hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I do." Ibrahim then asked if he could come over to Drabid's house to play together, to which Drabid agreed. It was the first time Drabid had ever invited a friend to his house. He was enjoying his time playing FIFA with Ibrahim when his mother called him for lunch. After they had eaten, his mother told him to ask his friend to leave. Unsure of what to do, Drabid went back to his room and reluctantly told Ibrahim that it was time for him to go home.
This incident took place when Drabid was living in Pakistan. His father worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which meant the family often had to move to different countries. Before moving to Pakistan, Drabid lived in Nepal. Having studied in London before coming to Nepal, his Nepali was quite weak, and his teachers were concerned about how he would manage to pass the SLC (School Leaving Certificate) exams at his current pace of learning. Drabid himself was worried, thinking, "Am I really going to fail? Will I even be able to take the SLC?" Just then, news came that his father had to move to Pakistan for work. His mother said to him, "Son, let’s go to Pakistan. You’ll be able to study in English there. Passing in Nepali will be too difficult for you." So, the family decided to move to Pakistan.
There, Drabid met Ibrahim, who had just arrived from Canada to study in Pakistan. Since their backgrounds were somewhat similar, Drabid felt he had finally found someone who would understand him. As their friendship grew, Drabid invited Ibrahim to play PlayStation at his house. But when Drabid’s mother told him to send Ibrahim home, he did so, and afterward, Ibrahim sent him a message saying, "Thank you." Drabid felt a bit relieved after that. However, the next day at school, Ibrahim had spread rumors, saying, "I went to Drabid’s house, but he kicked me out." The rumors became even worse, with people saying, "I went to a Nepali’s house, and the Nepali kicked me out."
After that, Drabid became a target. People would invite him to play football, but only as a defender or goalkeeper, and then intentionally aim the ball at his face or legs. They would lock him in the girls' washroom before classes started, or try out WWE moves on him. Despite all of this, he tolerated it because he didn’t want to be alone. He was scared.
