It has been half an hour since Lata came to the store finishing up her work in the clinic she stopped by the grocery store to get things for their upcoming dinner. Mindlessly searching through the store she suddenly stopped because her trolley bumped to with another.

" I' am so sorry." 

" Lata is that you?" A voice questioned which made Lata to look up only to be surprised.

" Aruna ? " 

Aruna was shocked too she didn't expect the stranger to be Lata at first and just suddenly blurted out without thinking. The two friends hugged each other while Mayunk was standing there awkwardly.

' Am I invisible here?' he thought to himself.

" When did you come here?" Lata asked.

" It's been four months since we came here." 

" It hasn't been that long." 

The two friends who have not met each for a long time started chatting about their life for approximately two hours when suddenly there was a phone call sound from Lata.

" Mummy where are you? It's been so long." 

Realizing that she and Aruna had been talking for a long time "Oh sorry I' am picking up groceries Aditi I will be coming home soon." 

" Come fast I and Dad are waiting for you." Aditi cut the call rudely she has been waiting for her Mom to finish work so that they could have dinner but now it was way past their usual dinner time.

" I have to go now but Aruna can you give me your number I will get back to you soon." 


Entering the house Lata found her husband and daughter sitting in front of Television in the living room. They both were very angry on Lata for arriving but deep inside they were worried as to why she didn't come home yet it was almost 8 in the night when Lata arrived which was way past their usual dinner time. 

" Where were you Lata?" Arvind gritted his teeth in anger  " we were so worried about you?"

" Arvind I' am sorry " Lata further explained " I lost track of time I met with a friend and I started talking with her." 

" Next time tell us if you are going to be late." Aditi said to her mother " I ' am hungry now." 


Quickly having the dinner prepared by her father Aditi went back to her room to finish off her assignment which she  had to submit by tomorrow. While Lata and Arvind were finishing off cleaning the dishes.


" Which friend did you meet today?" Arvind asked.

" I met Aruna."
