This story is about the friendship that develops between two children of different faiths. Both become friends when they bond over food, but food ultimately breaks apart their friendship. They begin by liking each other’s company; they admire each other’s clothes, earrings, anklets, etc. Slowly, as the story progresses, their friendship also grows and deepens. But one day, while asking her mother to place an extra two rotis in her tiffin for her friend, the author is told by her parents that she must not be friends with Saleema anymore; she is warned that her friend might feed her something deceitfully.
