A boy and a girl are standing on the terrace of the house, watching the sunset. The boy is around six years old, while the girl is four years old. It is their daily routine. They'd stand at the terrace of her house and watch the setting sun.

"This is so beautiful na." he says.

"Yes! I love the orange colour over there." the girl says pointing toward the orange hue in the sky.

He smiles at her softly.

"I like it too. I love to watch the sunset from here." he says.

"It is fun with you, always. Now, let's play, before Aunty comes to take you home. She won't let us play then. " the girl says innocently.

He laughs and they break into a run, he's chasing her now, all around the terrace. The whole house is chirping with their giggles. Finally, they stop, as he catches her by her wrist. They are panting heavily, and at the same time, they hear his mother calling him and it's the time for them to part. He pecks a soft kiss on her head.

"Finish your homework before sleeping. And then tomorrow, we'll have ice cream." he says.

She nods merrily agreeing to what he says and they run down the stairs where their moms are talking. Their moms are certainly talking about them since the two kids share a pious bond of friendship and are inseparable. Soon, they bid goodbye to each other. A fun day has come to an end.

A guy and a girl are standing on the terrace watching the setting sun. The sun is orange hued and the sight is beautiful as ever. They are still standing together, hand in hand, watching the sight. But he is just staring at the sun. He isn't speaking to her.

"It's beautiful, na!" she asks.

He just nods his head. She tugs on his hand and looks at her. He looks pained and sorrowful. He's not conversing to her like he used to do in the childhood.

"Vineet!" she calls his name.

He looks at her and she keeps her hands on his cheeks.

"Why can't you be the same Vineet, I know?" she asks.

"Ruhana, please! Don't take me back into the past." he says.

"Past was painful, I agree. But, we have some beautiful memories, don't we?" she says looking at him with hopeful eyes.

He sighs in reply. His past was painful, and so forth, he grew up to be the silent person that he is today. She holds his hands.

"I need time."He repeats the same line.

"Take your time. But give me my best friend back, please Vineet." she requests him.

He looks at her briefly and leaves the terrace without answering her, while Ruhana sighs, letting the tears free, that she was holding in her eyes.

She needs to work really hard to bring him back, her Vineet. And she's determined to do that.
