Life is all about embracing the things that matter most to you and letting go of everything else.
For Ananya Nanda, every new day is a treasure chest of riches, waiting to be claimed. For Vidhi Khurrana, life can only be lived by being focused and deciding what you want. For Dia Gandhi, friendship is freedom-- freedom from the self doubts and expectations that often torment humans. For Geet Juneja, everything is beautiful and kind, life is full of mysteries waiting to be solved.
The four friends are as unlike each other as anything. The only thing they have in common is great friendship and affection for each other, the loyalty that they share. Like the Forget-Me-Nots, their friendship blossoms sweet and humble, and at times bold and fun-loving, and through the highs and lows, the thick and thin, they stick together.
But friendship is good only while it lasts... or so it seems.
While it is true that life is beautiful, it also plays games. And the people who are most important to us, have the most power of hurting us.
When loyalty is overshadowed by secrets, trust broken by betrayal and friendship trying to hold the fragile bonds of the remnants of a disaster, only time can tell how much can survive-- how much can be forgotten.
But fifteen years later, a single phone call changes all their lives, and the friends find themselves realizing how easy it is, after all, to Forget-Me-Not...

INAYA'S POV
Before me, he sits. After 7 long years-7 years of absence, he shows up. Yet, when I study his eyes, I find nothing but unfamiliarity. His once warm, brown orbs are now veiled with darkness, devoid of any emotions, with a coldness that chills the air. His rosy pink pigmented lips, which once used to mold in a tender curve in my presence, now refuse to smile. Am I looking at the same person? How can his face be so familiar, yet his essence a mystery? Is he the same person-the Ishaan I once loved? The love that remained unspoken seven years ago, the love that refuses to fade? Is he truly the Ishaan Shekhawat that resides in my memories, or a specter of the past, wearing a guise of indifference over the soul I once knew?
