"It was fun shopping today...haina Shilpa!" a cheerful Muskaan asked Shilpa!

Shilpa smiled seeing her friend beaming with joy as they today shopped by their first salary of income. Muskaan and Shilpa became friends when they joined the multinational Software Company together as team-mates.

Presently they were in Mumbai. After few weeks of joining the company and deepening of sense of understanding between them, Muskaan moved in with Shilpa, so they lived together!

Shilpa was always reserved and shy, but getting a friend like Muskaan who was like a complete contrast to her, she was more open and livelier now.

Somewhere or the other, deep down in her heart the fear of loosing a friend was always there which was one of the reason of Shilpa for not interacting much!

KARAN...her lost childhood Best-friend. She could never understand why she was so sentimental with this relationship of her life. He was Just a childhood friend. Many have them and many lost them too...its all normal...but something was more to this relationship of her and her Karan...what??? She doesn't know!!!

Her trail of thoughts again was once broken by Muskaan to bring her back to the reality.

" Oye Miss, Kahan kho gaye??" Muskan asked her, when she felt that all her talks were in vain as Shilpa was lost in her own world!

Sighing and then smiling a bit, Shilpa shook her head, implying nothing important!

Shilpa has told Muskaan about him. Muskaan has been always telling her that she should not think much, it is not even known that he remembers her or not. But Shilpa could not help it, She always land up in her thoughts.

Muskaan, "you know you are a gone case right! Thinking about Him haina?...Shilpa tu pagal hai kya...Lets do one thing lets go and have a mental check-up of yours...kitni baar kaha hai...it was not a love just a childhood friend...phir bhi...dekh...mujhe bolna pad raha hai...move on...Shilpa tujhe pata hai...I wont want to make you sad...par logically think dude...he is a boy...he may be having girlfriend etc and his own life...his lifestyle may be completely different...you don't still know that he even remember you or not...you understanding...right?...bachpan mein toh we come across many friends and we lose many too but don't get stuck in their memories FOREVER as it is in your case... you are stuck in..." Muskaan was going on with her ranting but when she dint get any response from Shilpa She turned beside to find her missing.

She worriedly looked around but dint find her at all...she paced all her way back from where they were coming and then she saw...

*BUMPP*

All her shopping bags fell down as she mistakenly bumped with someone. As she bent down to pick her bags she felt someone too bending down and picking up things for her and was apologizing for his fault of not paying attention and bumping into her.

She was going to look up to the person, when she heard a loud voice of Muskaan. She turned in her direction to see Muskaan coming towards her shouting something which was barely explicable. Shilpa gathered her fallen bags together fast and took the bags from the stranger she turned to find Muskaan face to face.
