There are times when I actually want to run from my life but I where I didn't know.
So....

Aisha : Darsh...

Me: Huh?

Me: Ohh.. Yeah.. Ahem.. OK.. Well...

I was mumbling.

Aisha knows me. From childhood. she can read my face.

She came near to me. Sat beside me. And said...

Aisha: are you OK?

Me:  Yeah... I'm....

Aisha: Call her.

Me: She is busy.

Aisha: She always has time for you.

I looked at Aisha.
She tapped my shoulder and left.
I dialed her number.

Me: Ahem..

Mumma : Hello beta...finally you remember your mumma huh?

Me: Sorry mumma.

Mumma: It's okay kiddo.  I know you were busy.
