The ambient glow of the movie screen flickered, casting shadows across the faces of the friends huddled in Mithra's cozy living room. As the scene unfolded, showcasing the hero effortlessly tying his shoelace, Mithra couldn't resist a mischievous grin as she turned to Shubman.

"Shubman, do I still have to tie your shoelaces for you?" she teased, her eyes dancing with amusement.

Shubman smirked in response, a playful glint in his eyes, before nodding in mock surrender. Intrigued by this exchange, the others couldn't help but join in with curiosity.

"Alright, spill the beans. What's the story behind the magical shoelace-tying skills of Mithra?" Ishan quipped, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

Shubman chuckled, exchanging a knowing glance with Mithra, before launching into the tale of a childhood tradition that had endured the test of time.

"Well, you see, Mithra here was my personal shoelace assistant throughout our entire childhood," Shubman began, his grin widening as he recalled the memories.

The room erupted in laughter, prompting Mithra to roll her eyes playfully in response.

"Seriously? Why did Mithra have to tie your shoelaces, Shubman?" Natasa inquired, leaning in with genuine interest.

Shubman leaned back, adopting a storyteller's pose, while Mithra chuckled beside him.

"It all started when we were little kids, around five or six years old. Mithra noticed me struggling with my shoelace, and being the helpful friend she is, she decided to teach me how to tie it," Shubman explained, a hint of fondness in his voice.

Mithra jumped in, her eyes gleaming with nostalgia as she recollected those early days.

"I remember telling him that the loops looked like butterfly wings. So, whenever we had to leave for school or were out playing, I would tie his shoelaces for him. It just became a habit, and Shubman never bothered to learn how to do it himself," she reminisced, a fond smile gracing her lips.

The room resonated with laughter and warm nostalgia. The friends couldn't help but appreciate the simplicity and sweetness of this enduring childhood bond.

"That's adorable! Shubman, you really let Mithra tie your shoelaces all these years?" Ishan exclaimed, chuckling at the image of the two young friends.

"Hey, it became our thing. Besides, she's just too good at it. I never could tie them as perfectly as she does," Shubman defended himself with a grin, shooting a playful glance at Mithra.

The banter continued, each friend sharing their own childhood stories and quirky habits. The living room transformed into a canvas of shared memories, laughter, and the enduring bond between Shubman and Mithra.

Shubman's revelation invited a wave of laughter and playful teasing from their friends. The living room buzzed with anticipation as Shubman continued his story, sharing the aftermath of that memorable airport drop.

"So, after dropping Mithra at the airport, I noticed my shoelace was untied. I looked up to call her back, only to find out she had already passed the security checkpoint," Shubman recounted, his grin widening at the memory.

Mithra, seated beside him, couldn't help but chuckle at the recollection."Guess you were stuck with that untied shoelace, weren't you?" she teased, a smirk playing on her lips.
