Devaki Rani Munusamy and Rohani Ambri embracing after reuniting in August - their first meeting since Devaki’s wedding in 1979. (Dr S Madhusudhan pic)KLANG: When she went out shopping, Devaki Rani Munusamy would sometimes wonder whether she might bump into Rohani Ambri, her old school friend from Methodist Girls’ School in Kuala Lumpur.
Once, their conversations had filled their school recesses. Their friendship blossomed in 1969, when they would meet over shared canteen food despite being in different classes.
Their parents had been strict, so outings were rare. School was where they'd had each other.
“She was a very nice, pleasant girl. Very quiet,” Devaki, 73, remembered. Yet another thought would then follow: after so many years, would she even recognise Rohani?
