And the whole day passed like that. In the night, we were all having a family talk.

Mom: How did you maintain this long hair in college? That too this good-looking? It must have been hard!

Neha: Yeah, I wanted to ask that too!

Me: Yeah, it was hard, but I had help from a friend in college. If she hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have hair this long.

Neha: (grinning) Who is She?

Me: Just a close friend.

Mom: She must be wonderful to help you like this?

Me: Yeah.

Mom: Speaking of close friends, remember Shalini?

Me: Yeah, how could I forget?

Mom: She is back in town.

Me: What!!?
