Her p.o.v

My heart crumpled seeing the food in front of me. I gave zahi a questioning look and she understood my confusion and said " sorry didi, mum was so adamant to buy you this as this WAS ur favourite, I tried stopping her but you know how mum is like when she decides on something so I gave up, eat it nah u like it right? She said and started tucking in. I simply kept staring at the food, which made zahi to shoot me a questioning glare. She understood my situation and sat next to me. She touched my cheeks and wiped the drops on them, then it dawned on me that I was crying. She came and took a piece, dipped it in the gravy and brought it closer to me, when I refused to open up she practically shoved it through my mouth

" sorry guys I am having "paratta s and gravy" without you all. Please forgive me, I mentally wailed. When the food began to go through my mouth, I felt an unknown sensation conquer me, pure Bliss was what I felt at that very moment, I felt elated the way my heart started pounding on my chest, the way once it was..

Flashback:

Hey I am hungry man.. Mahi wailed. "adi.. Enakum than" (hey me too). Reesha said. ". Too bad that we emptied our lunch packs too early" mahi said with a frown. Me and nirasha broke into a fit of laughter with a hi-fi. This has become a routine for us these days, we would eat all our lunch packs in the morning gossiping and the stomachs will start growling at about 11:00 / 12:00. "Hey let's put up a collection" Nirasha suggested and then sneak to the shops. But our goody two shoes was scared" what if we get caughtShe asked in a frightened tone. " we will get some juicy beatings, that's it" rishitha said with a wink. "Hey cool guys, I and zee can sneak out perfectly and be back before you know it, right zee? " yes niru 10th and 11th standard s are absolutely free.. We ll be back in minutes. Ok now put up the collection" I replied and did a hi-fi. " zammu, how much you have in there? Rishitha asked zamra. "About Rs 100" zammu answered.. We collected  a total of rs 650 from everyone.. "Whoa this is great" rehana cheered. " hey what you guys doing without me" came a voice. Oh its none other than the great fiyara zahir who have just descended from her world. Oh that dumbo!! "Oii, I have money too " she said " then give it oii" replied niru making us laugh at once. " zee, a total of 750 I have in my hands, so what shall we buy? Rishi questioned us. With a "duh" look we all, me, mahi, reesha, zammu,niru & fiyara exclaimed " parotta and gravy, our  staple food" and broke into unlimited laughter. "Zee, will start our work" niru pulled me, I nodded and then we started to go. I felt a tug at my arm." Be careful di, " mahi warned, concern evident in her eyes. "Thank you so much ya Allah for gifting me such a gem in my life, pleas don't make me miss her at Any cost," I mentally prayed. I gave her a toothy grin " I am fine di" with that we set off
