Betrayal of trust

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum, I've been entrusted with some money by a brother, which he told me to look after it while he was indisposed (he gave it to me to look after it). He told me to invest it if I find something worth investing in. But recently I've fallen in hard times, and had to borrow some of the money which He entrusted me with, and I'm working to repay it. I need to ask if the money I need to repay includes the gains that I made by investing the money for myself, how much do I have to add the money that I borrowed ? And whether it is still called borrowing or stealing when you have money entrusted to you as Amanah, even if you pay it back ?
