"Moving on" has been heavily overused by various people for their selfish needs. Its not the affair-breakup scenario i am talking about. It is been mostly used to cover up their selfish deeds and mean tactics. They are more than friendly while taking a favor.

It also does not try to do justice to all the four stories of four friends. It takes only the necessary intersections between their life. The ego between friends, their differences, ...
