A gift to remember!

A boy and a girl, with a blossoming friendship go out to dinner with a gang of friends. They have good food, lot of fun and an icecream treat. It should be around 10 pm and all the friends walk back to their rooms in the dark and cold night. They make noise in that otherwise silent surrounding, teasing each other. Girl boy ratio will be around 4:11. The girls too walk in that night without fear, with a gang of reliable friends. They move in a group of 2 or 3 behind each other, leaving the monstrous trucks to pass by them.

The girl is also walking in this group with her new pair of slippers and the boy behind her. One small sound 'tup' and a small slip by the girl. She notices her slippers torn, the boy had stamped it. Almost one km to walk and with torn slippers, the girl finds it difficult to reach to her room. She heard the 'sorry' word again and again throughout the way, but nobody could help her. He said he will buy her a new one. The next few days passed as usual .



Time came when the group of friends had to split. They exchanged small gifts. The girl got a gift, a beautiful bridal toy shoe with a small note 'I promised to buy you shoes. Here it is.. (after all I tore the good one). Oh! I forgot to give you the other one. If you want, please contact me later'. There was only one shoe! The girl felt very happy seeing the gift. She wanted the other shoe. She felt disappointed when she came to know that the other shoe was with her room mate. She felt happy when she read the note to her friend, which also mentioned about her. Doesn't this seem to be creating a new relationship more than friendship?!
