TWO FRIENDS(CONCLUDING PART)

Vishu recalled the last moments with ‘his’ Shweta. It was some three and a half years ago when he had received an offer to pursue his super-speciality course in one of the most prestigious medical schools of the world.

TWO FRIENDS (PART-II)

"Its not your eyes, But the caring look in them Its not your lips, But the beautiful smile on them Its not your appearance, But your graceful form Its not your charms, But your warm, soft expressions That enraptured my heart. Made me fall for you. And made myself yours- Forever .

She was one woman on earth whom he wanted to be his.Forever.
