Wattpad Short Story Entry for the Food Freak Contest! Aminah's husband has recently passed away in the most tragic way possible. As a result, the responsibilities of being strong and moving on are suddenly thrust upon her. In the middle of all this pain and loneliness, what more could cheer her up than a comforting pot of mutton biryani?

Ellie and Kayla have been best friends for as long as they remember. What a pity that you can't pack your best friend in a bag and take her to college with you. After planning they'd not be separated because of lengthy facetimes, a gazillion text messages and a few visits, they realize they are busier than they expected and are drifting apart faster than you can blink an eye. It's been a year and they'd lost almost all contact just enjoying the fact that they love each other, although it's not enough. Then out of the blue, on a Friday evening, Ellie leaves Kayla a voicemail that shatters her heart into a billion pieces in sadness for her friend. She goes on a 5-hour drive to Ellie's college to remind her that she may be broken, but not abandoned. Word count: 978/1000
