School friends find their way back to each other after almost 50 years
With help from their sons, Devaki Rani Munusamy and Rohani Ambri have rekindled a cherished friendship that goes beyond race and decades of separation.
KLANG: Devaki Rani Munusamy and Rohani Ambri, once school friends from Kuala Lumpur's Methodist Girls' School, have reunited after almost half a century. Their friendship blossomed in 1969 during their schooldays and continued despite the strictness of their parents, limited outings, and different class schedules. Their paths diverged in 1979 when they last saw each other at Devaki's wedding; they raised children, moved for work, and lost touch.
Devaki kept photographs of Rohani on her wedding day, which helped reunite them when Madhusudhan Shanmugam, Devaki's son, recognized a familiar figure in an online search using her husband's name. Rohani's son, Rafe Azsnal Ropee Adman, confirmed the reunion, and the pair spoke on a video call. Despite being separated for nearly five decades, Devaki and Rohani quickly reconnected, catching up over food and sharing their life stories.
