"Ding dong "went the front door bell, "coming....in a minute" answered Sunita from her bedroom. "Oh Hi, yeah let's go..... could you just come inside and spare me two minutes?" Asked Sunita as she opened to the door to find Sheila on the other side. "Okie, be quick!" Said sheila as she entered Sunita's home and sat on the couch, "the movie starts in half an hour and we aren't on our way yet!"
"Yeah yeah..... come lets go!" Said Sunita as she pulled Sheila off the couch by her hand.
Within days of their first meeting, the two women had become fast friends. They often had lunch together when their respective husbands were in office. They would go out for shopping or simply walks in evening. Sunita didn't feel alone anymore. Sheila would sometimes visit her school also, she also loved spending time with kids, j
ust as Sunita. They often had dinner together with their husbands joining them. Rakesh and Tarun had mutual liking for each other too.Sheila came to know of a kid at Sunita's school who had a very poor financial background and whose parents were planning to drop him off from school or switch him to a government aided school. Sheila extended her financial support to the kid. She vowed to pay for his education until he stands on his feet. Sunita was moved by her friend's decision. She adored her for her good heart.
a once asked Sunita why she hadn't become mother yet when she was so fond of kids. A teary eyed Sunita then narrated her journey of her failed attempt to motherhood. Sheila remarked, how strong Sunita was, having undergone so much she still managed to smile and enjoy life. Sunita felt comforted by her words but suddenly felt very empty inside, as her past failures had been recalled today.
