A Thousand Splendid Suns! I had heard a lot about this book a lot and thought of purchasing it. I was very keen and went to the bookstore. I asked the bookstore manager to confirm if they have the same book which I am looking for. I saw the manager talking to another girl and she too was asking for the same book and he just handed her the book. I too quickly went to him and asked for the book but unfortunately it was the last copy of it. After hearing that my face dropped and I asked him when he could get it back in the stores but he wasn't sure. I got sad and suddenly somebody tapped on my shoulder. It was the girl who bought the last copy. She said, ‘You could read it first and then return it to me, you seem more curious than me....’ I was surprisingly happy and asked for her contact details and then I grabbed the book and hugged her for her sweet gesture and this made us the best of friends. Now we hang out together and I am lucky to have a friend like her.
