Shades

She was from Mumbai. 

Thats what Mumbai people do; they wear shades. 

Probably because it’s so sunny and hot. 

She would always smile with her kind eyes, as she handed us kids some candy. 

She wants us to be friends with her. Yes. 

Let’s be friends. 

We got sweets for her the next time we went. We would ask to wear her shades and be friends and hang out. 

She had gone back to Mumbai.
