PART 1


Outside an education institute, Adhikrit and Ikrit are talking to each other. Just before their math tuition was about to start they had come 20 minutes earlier to have the mandatory one plate of steamed momos. They were discussing how close they have grown in such a small amount of time. Their platonic love was visible to everyone around them. As soon as they finished the momos it was almost time for the tuition to start. Ikrit hopped on the scooty of Adhikrit and shouted: “every day we get late because of your momos Adhi”.

They sat next to each other in the tuition. And all of a sudden Adhikrit stopped writing. Ikrit nudged him and said “I intentionally didn’t tell you this. It was supposed to be a surprise”. “but you should have told me, I would have dressed better!” Adhikrit started combing his hair using his fingers as he saw Aziza walking across the hall. It was her first day and Adhikrit had a crush on her since forever. Not only did Adhikrit, but everyone back at the school had a crush on Aziza and only dreamt of talking to her.

Aziza waved to Ikrit and sat beside her. Aziza and Ikrit were best friends since childhood. And Ikrit had offered Adhikrit to get him introduced to Aziza. But Adhikrit is the typical shy guy who is afraid to talk to Aziza, as the whole school is.

Today Adhikrit was solving questions much faster than usual. “solving questions quicker is not going to impress her!” Ikrit laughingly said to Adhikrit.

That night adhikrit stayed up till late browsing the internet. It was Ikrit’s birthday and he always gave her the best gift. So he was doing his fair bit of research for it. He finalized onto a magical cup which changed color when a hot liquid is poured into it. And since Ikrit loved drinking coffee so the gift made sense.

On the next day the treat was set at no other place but the usual momo place that they used to go to. But only today they were going to bunk the tuition for the treat. Instead of the usual steamed momos, fried momos and cold drinks were ordered. Just as they were about to eat, Adhikrit dropped the momo he had in his hand.

His eyes widened and he sort of snuck under the table and asked Ikrit “ you didn’t tell me she was coming too! I would have dressed better!”. Aziza placed the cake on the table and passed a smile to Adhikrit. To which he replied by just showing his teeth. Ikrit gave Adhi a disgusting look and said: “can you guys not make me wait on my birthday, I AM HUNGRY.”

Then all three started eating and chatting. Adhikrit got a little awkward but then finally mustered the courage and said “so Aziza, how’s your school? How are the people over there?” “not bad. It’s a good crowd and a different experience as compared to the previous school” she replied.
“How's your new school treating you?” she inquired. “it’s really good. The girls are really hot!” adhikrit said to which Aziza grinned and Adhikrit punched himself for blurting out that stupid reply. And the three of them continued talking and having fun.

“what should I get my boyfriend? His birthday is coming up! It's so difficult to find a gift for a guy!” Aziza frustratingly asked Ikrit. Adhikrit trying to be a part of the conversation said “I know a great place where you can find a gift for him”. “ great! Can you tell me the place?” Aziza asked. “absolutely” Adhi replied. Ikrit could see how desperately Adhi wants to talk to her. And what a stupid way he picked for it.

Adhikrit got back home excited. He was singing while entering the house. “Will you have dinner with us today or have you already eaten out?” Adhi’s mom shouted. But Adhi was too happy to worry about her mom shouting. And with a big smile, he sang “I already have had food mummy.”
As Adhi was about to sleep his phone vibrated. There was a new message from an unknown number 

“hi. Are you up? Can we talk?”. He replied “I know it’s you (Sameer), fucker. Stop playing pranks at this time”

“Oh, I am sorry. It's so rude of me. I should have written my name in the first message. I am Aziza. I took your number from Ikrit.”

“fucker, I know it's you. she doesn’t even have my number. At least use a proper excuse. I met her today and we didn’t exchange numbers even. So dumb move, you ass!”

A new message from Ikrit “ADHI, Aziza just took your number and she might text you to ask about the place where you can get her boyfriend’s gift. So  make your best move. All the best ;) :P”

Adhi sighed “ FUCK!”
