After getting her mood off because of her cold brother, Feng Yi Lan came to lighten up herself at the Central mall where she has got to meet Li Xue for the first time. This was the place that gave her a good friend to depend on but it was her bad luck that she lost her.

Losing a friend wasn’t the only stinging pain in her heart but there was also a guilt inside her that was burning her every passing day. Guilt of not being able to protect the only woman she ever titled as a friend.

When Li Xue had that downfall, she was abroad to promote her brand internationally. And when returned the worst damage was already made. She tried hard to find her friend but she was nowhere to be found.

Her family abandoned her like she never belonged to them. All her peers and relatives boycotted her in order to protect themselves from the cursing tongues of the brainless public which never believed in going to the depths of any news. For them news was not at all different from the rumors.

Feng Yi Lan blamed herself for not being here when her friend needed her the most. There hasn’t been a day when she has not missed her and not tried to find her. But all her resources were of no use.

She has tried every place where she thought she could go, but couldn’t find her. She has searched almost every desirable city of Chiboa but there wasn’t any hint that could lead her to her. It felt like she had disappeared from the planet Earth.

Thinking it that way she felt terrified. The way her name was smeared in the public, she feared that it would have made her lose all her hope, determination and love for life. But again she would console her telling that there was no way Li Xue would take any step like a coward.

She was a born fighter who can easily seep into the determination and hope into anyone who was losing theirs. She has done it for others, so she can also do it for herself.

While thinking all this she was strolling on the top floor of the Central Mall. Suddenly her eyes caught a sight of the familiar silhouette of a woman. At first she couldn’t believe her eyes taking it as her illusion but something in her heart told her to follow it.

Going according to her heart she rushed to make herself sure, praying to God to make her illusion to be true. But when reached she was nowhere there. Her eyes got dull because of another disappointment.

But again in the next second her eyes got the sight of the same woman. This time Feng Yi Lan was sure that this wasn’t any illusion. Li Xue was really in front of her sight and there was something else that made her heart go a little more relaxed. That was the cheerful smile on her beautiful face. What a relief!

Without registering the shop where she had seen Li Xue smiling, she got inside with her hurried steps. She felt like, if she does not rush then the woman will again disappear in a thin air.

“Li Xue!” She called loudly when she got at a relatable distance from her. Without waiting for another second she ran and embraced her, letting her feel all the anxiousness she has felt from these years when she couldn’t find her.

After a very good amount of time, Feng Yi Lan let her go only to gently pull her again, to examine her from head to toe.

Li Xue has still to register everything. She was totally dumbstruck when she got into that familiar comforting embrace. The warmth of concern instantly gave her a feeling of meeting a lost family.

“How are you? Where have you been? Do you even have an idea how scared I was when I wasn’t able to find you after returning back from the States? You are really cruel” she asked, cupping her cheeks with all love.

But suddenly her expressions got changed when she found her friend looking at her with a dumbstruck face. “Hey! Don’t embarrass me saying that you don’t know me”

She flung her hands over her lips as she cried out in panic, “No, no … this can’t happen. Did you lose your memory? O my gosh! What should I do now? Let’s go and meet a doctor first. Yeah that will be good … let’s go” She started pulling her in the direction of the exit not caring about the people who were looking at her with wide eyes.

Of course they know who the woman was. How can they not? She was a Feng to begin with and there was no man existing in Chiboa, who doesn’t know the beautiful lady of the Feng family. Apart from being a Feng, she was also a renowned designer whose designs are well recognized in the international market.

What caught everyone’s attention was the way she was behaving. They never thought that with the power in her hands she too can get anxious and worried over someone. Their eyes immediately started looking at the woman with her in a different light.

Li Xue was very famous five years ago, but now no one recognized her. Everyone has forgotten her in a way, where it felt like she never existed. And after so many years, she herself no more cared for that fame especially when she has lost it in the worst way. It was also very suitable for her because in that way she can lead her life very peacefully.

Looking at the woman who has one all crazy, pulling her to visit a doctor Li Xue let out a soft chuckle. “Yi Lan!”, she called, making the woman halt in her actions. At the end of the day this was the only friend she has left by her side.

Her eyes went emotional when she saw the traces of tears at the edge of Feng Yi Lan’s eyes. “Thank God! Thank God! You didn’t forget me. I was so scared. I really missed you” she said and again pulled her into a hug.

All this time no one looked at the little girl who was also there standing and looking at the two women going all crazy and weird. “Mama! Why do you have so many classmates here? Were you living in this city before?” Li Wei asked, pulling her mother’s clothes lightly to get some of her attention.

Hearing that voice coming from such a close distance, Feng Yi Lan immediately pulled herself away to take a look at the person to whom this voice belonged to. There was no one on her level of height.

She looked at Li Xue in confusion, “Xue, I felt I heard some voice but … wait this is the kid’s section. Why are you here?”

Li Xue pulled her daughter in front as she introduced, “You heard it right.  Meet her. This is my daughter, Li Wei”. Feng Yi Lan’s eyes froze as she looked at the little girl. Her hands flung over her lips to show her expression of surprise.
