It was Levi.
"Miu.." Levi whispered and Miu blinked.
"Levi" smiled and Levi hugged Miu.

"I'm sorry." Levi puts his forehead against mine.
"Don't apologize." Levi says and gets on the bed and hugs Miu tightly. It felt good.

"I love you too." Miu whisper and kiss Levi and pull Levi closer. Miu stroke Levis hair until both fall asleep again.

The episode opens with a silent sky as the date 16 August 2063 appears, its stars barely visible under artificial glow. The scene shifts to Beijing, China, where a plane lands at a crowded airport. Among the crowd, two young men finally meet after years apart — Satoshi Kakamura, an undercover spy secretly sent to investigate a mysterious organization connected to assassinations of world leaders, and Koruko Kesei, an architect living in China. A brief flashback shows their long friendship and promise to meet again one day. They head to a café and talk casually until Koruko hesitantly reveals a confidential project: a massive construction ordered to be completed in only seven months. He admits he wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but trusts Satoshi. The real problem, however, is that workers assigned to a specific underground area have been disappearing. This immediately raises Satoshi’s suspicion because his mission involves tracking a hidden civilization of killers targeting influential figures worldwide.
Later that night, the two walk through the advanced yet strangely lifeless city toward Koruko’s home. Satoshi feels uneasy, missing the peace and nature he prefers. At the house, Koruko introduces him to his family and they share a calm dinner together. Afterward, Koruko shows Satoshi his room and leaves him to rest. Satoshi changes into casual clothes, calls his parents in Germany, and has a quiet, reassuring conversation before falling asleep. The next morning, while Koruko’s family watches television, Satoshi walks out rubbing his eyes — only to freeze behind them as breaking news reports appear: 76 celebrities missing and multiple major buildings collapsed across the world. The screen fades to black, ending Episode 1.

Chapter 3: The Whisper in the Forest (Rewritten)
The academy grounds were quiet after the sparring match. Most students had gone home, still buzzing about the clash between Shawn, Jaden, and Isaiah. The three of them stayed behind, each unsettled by what had just happened.
None of them had expected the match to end the way it did — with strange flickers of power none of them could explain.
Shawn stood on the rooftop, his black cloak fluttering in the wind. A sleek, angular mask covered the lower half of his face, hiding his expression. Beneath it, his 1-Tomoe Hoshigan pulsed faintly, spinning slowly. He clenched his fist. Something inside me is waking up.
Down below, Jaden leaned against a training post. His hair was spiked and wild, and he wore a black shirt with one long sleeve and one short. His Byakugan was active, veins bulging at his temples. He flipped a kunai in his hand, but his usual smirk was gone. That thing I felt… it wasn’t mine. But it was watching.
Isaiah stood at the edge of the woods, his dreadlock-like hair swaying slightly. A thick fur collar wrapped around his neck, and his eyes were locked on the trees. He didn’t speak. He didn’t move. But he felt it — something in the forest was staring back.
A breeze rustled the leaves. Isaiah’s hand twitched toward his blade.
Nothing.
But the feeling didn’t leave.

That night, the three of them were summoned to the headmaster’s office. The room was dim, lit only by a single lantern. Scrolls lined the walls, and a large map of the village was pinned behind the desk.
The headmaster, an older shinobi with a long scar across his jaw, studied them in silence.
“You three,” he said finally, “are different.”
They didn’t respond.
“I don’t know what’s inside you. But I’ve seen enough to know this — something is coming. And when it does, you’ll either be our greatest hope… or our greatest threat.”
He turned to the window.
“Tomorrow, you’ll be sent on your first mission. A simple patrol. But stay sharp. The forest has been… restless.”
Outside, the wind howled.
And deep in the woods, something opened its eyes.

The forest was silent.
Not peaceful — silent. As if the trees themselves were holding their breath.
Team 0 stood in the aftermath of the rift battle, the air still humming with residual energy. The creature they had faced was gone, shattered into fragments of light and static. But the feeling it left behind lingered like smoke.
Shawn stood at the center of the clearing, his black mask cracked slightly from the strain. Beneath it, his right eye glowed faintly — the 1-Tomoe Hoshigan now fully awakened.
🌌 The Hoshigan Revealed
The eye was unlike anything the others had seen. A deep violet iris, with a single tomoe orbiting a star-shaped pupil. It shimmered with cosmic energy, as if the night sky had been trapped inside it.
Shawn blinked slowly, and the world around him bent — not visibly, but perceptibly. Gravity shifted. Time slowed. He could feel the weight of space itself responding to his gaze.
“I can see… everything,” he whispered. “Not just chakra. Possibilities.”
Jaden stepped beside him, his own eyes glowing pale white.
👁️ The Byakugan in Full Force
Jaden’s Byakugan was fully active now. Veins bulged at his temples, and his vision extended in every direction. He could see chakra threads tangled in the trees, the faint residue of the rift’s energy, and even the subtle pulse of Shawn’s Hoshigan.
“You’re warping the field,” Jaden said. “Even your chakra flow is bending.”
Shawn nodded. “It’s like… I’m not just seeing the world. I’m shaping it.”
Isaiah stood nearby, silent as always. His fur collar was singed, and his dreadlock-like hair was damp with sweat. But his eyes were sharp.
“That thing wasn’t from here,” he said. “And it wasn’t alone.”

Return to the Village
The team moved quickly, returning to the Hidden Leaf under cover of dusk. The Hokage was waiting.
He listened silently as they described the rift, the creature, and the battle. When they finished, he turned to Kuroda, who stood in the shadows.
“They’re progressing faster than expected,” Kuroda said. “The Hoshigan has awakened. The Byakugan is adapting. And Isaiah’s mutation is stabilizing.”
The Hokage nodded grimly. “Then we’re out of time.”
He looked at the three Genin.
“You’re no longer students. You’re weapons. And the world is about to remember why it feared the Riftborn.”

Elsewhere…
In a dark chamber beneath the earth, a masked figure knelt before a glowing rift fragment.
“The Hoshigan has awakened,” he whispered. “The seal is breaking.”
A voice echoed from the void. “Then the Rift will open again. And this time… they won’t be ready.”

Panel 1

Wide shot: A dark noble bedchamber lit only by a dying hearth. The massive shape of Lord Michael Fortinbras lies asleep in the background, half-buried in blankets, his loud snoring filling the room. In the foreground, the Woodcutter Girl and the Priestess Concubine lie awake, staring into the darkness.

SFX:
GRRRHHH… KHHH…

Caption:
The lord slept soundly.

Panel 2

Closer shot: The woodcutter lies stiffly on her side, eyes open, face tired and hollow.

Woodcutter (small text):
“…Are you awake?”

Panel 3

Priestess close-up: She turns her head slightly on the pillow, eyes half-lidded, calm but worn.

Priestess:
“Yes.”

Panel 4

Woodcutter:
“Do you still believe?”

Priestess:
“…In what?”

Panel 5

Woodcutter close-up: Pain and anger mix on her face.

Woodcutter:
“In God.”
“In justice.”
“In anything beyond this room.”

Panel 6

Woodcutter continues, eyes wet but hard: The shadow of Fortinbras looms blurry in the background.

Woodcutter:
“We are brought here whenever he desires.”
“He sleeps like a king.”
“And we lie here like we are nothing.”
“So tell me…”
“What kind of God sees that and says nothing?”

Panel 7

Priestess close-up: Her face turns solemn, almost haunted.

Priestess:
“There was a time…”
“I would have answered you easily.”
“I would have said suffering has purpose.”
“That heaven sees all.”
“That justice waits beyond mortal reach.”

Panel 8

Half-panel: The priestess looks toward the dark ceiling. Candlelight catches her tired eyes.

Priestess:
“But words like that are easier to speak in a temple…”
“…than in a lord’s bedchamber.”

Panel 9

Woodcutter sits up slightly, expression sharpening with bitterness.

Woodcutter:
“Then God is weak.”

Panel 10

Priestess turns to look directly at her.

Priestess:
“Or distant.”
“Or silent.”
“Or perhaps men simply commit evil…”
“…and call it fate so they need not fear judgment.”

Panel 11

Two-shot: The woodcutter looks shaken, but intent. The priestess remains composed.

Woodcutter:
“Then we are powerless.”
“Even with God.”

Priestess:
“For now.”
“Faith does not break locks.”
“It does not stop cruel men.”
“The powerless endure by learning where power lives… and waiting for the moment it shifts.”

Panel 12

Final wide panel: Fortinbras remains asleep in the background, snoring like some vast beast. In the foreground, the priestess stares into the dark with grim resolve, while the woodcutter lies beside her, silent and thinking.

SFX:
GRRRHHH…

Priestess:
“Do not mistake silence for approval.”
“The heavens may be silent…”
“…but silence is not surrender.”

Caption:
And so the night passed beneath the weight of one man’s power… and the fragile refusal of two women to let despair become truth.

Panel 1

Wide shot: A private chamber in the Fortinbras estate. Candlelight. Heavy curtains. The three women sit together—the Wife seated formally, the Priestess Concubine calm but guarded, the Woodcutter Girl nervous and out of place.

Caption:
Within House Fortinbras, even quiet conversations carried the weight of power.

Wife:
“Sit. We will speak plainly.”

Panel 2

Closer shot: The wife folds her hands in her lap, composed and stern.

Wife:
“You both belong to this household now.”
“So tell me… when my lord calls for you, how often does he summon you?”

Panel 3

Priestess concubine close-up: She averts her eyes slightly, but answers with controlled dignity.

Priestess Concubine:
“Often enough that I understand my place.”
“To him, companionship is not tenderness.”
“It is appetite, authority… and legacy.”

Panel 4

Woodcutter close-up: She looks uneasy, fingers tightened in her dress.

Woodcutter:
“I stopped counting.”
“When he wants someone, he sends for her.”
“That is all there is to it.”

Panel 5

The wife watches both women carefully. Her face is unreadable.

Wife:
“Then you understand the next matter.”
“If either of you becomes pregnant, what were you told to expect?”

Panel 6

Priestess concubine speaking: Calm, bitter wisdom in her expression.

Priestess Concubine:
“That the child will belong to House Fortinbras before it belongs to me.”
“That nurses, tutors, and household servants will raise it in the lord’s name.”
“That blood matters more than a mother’s wishes.”

Panel 7

Woodcutter speaking, tense: She looks smaller in the room, overwhelmed by the reality of it.

Woodcutter:
“I was told I would be watched day and night.”
“Fed well. Guarded. Kept safe.”
“But not for my sake.”
“For the child.”

Panel 8

The wife leans slightly forward. Her tone is firm, instructional.

Wife:
“That is the truth.”
“In this house, any child of Lord Fortinbras is part of the house’s future.”
“They are raised for rank, obedience, and usefulness.”

Panel 9

Half-panel focus on the wife, dark background behind her for emphasis.

Wife:
“They will learn the name Fortinbras before they learn their own desires.”
“They will be taught duty, inheritance, and power.”
“Some will strengthen alliances. Some will serve the estate. All will carry his shadow.”

Panel 10

Priestess concubine looks at the wife directly for the first time.

Priestess Concubine:
“And the mothers?”
“What becomes of us after the child is born?”

Panel 11

The wife answers. Her expression softens only slightly, but remains severe.

Wife:
“That depends.”
“A wise woman may gain security, comfort, even influence.”
“A foolish one will remain only what she was when she entered this house.”
“Useful… but never truly free.”

Panel 12

Final dramatic panel: The three women in silence. The wife sits upright at center, the priestess thoughtful, the woodcutter shaken. Candlelight flickers.

Woodcutter (small text):
“So the child is born into power… and we are not?”

Wife:
“The child is claimed by power from its first breath.”
“That is the way of House Fortinbras.”

Caption:
And in that chamber, each woman understood that motherhood in a great house was not mercy… but submission to legacy.

Close on Fortinbras's face—sweat pouring, small eyes darting, pleading.

$In a world where a few can bend probability through raw will, a quiet drifter named Kai Kurozawa discovers his gift isn’t luck—it’s a loaded weapon. Each choice twists the odds, but the universe charges interest. SERIES BIBLE (Concise) Power System — Will / Odds / Backlash • Dwellers: Rare individuals who can impose Tacks (micro‐edits to probability) via focused Will. • Odds: A visualized “grain” of reality; Dwellers sense vectors of likely outcomes as shimmering filaments. • Tacks: Intentional nudges (“make that rope snap,” “let the bus be 8 seconds late”). Each Tack accrues Fate Friction—stress that rebounds later as Backlash (nosebleeds → fractures → catastrophic karmic events). • Edges: Personal rituals or anchors (coin flips, mantras) that stabilize Will and reduce friction. • Zeroshift (mythic tier, late series): A liminal state where Odds are a silent ocean and Will is a blade—do not reveal yet. World • Haven District: Port-city sprawl; rusted rooftops, market alleys, flooded underpass murals. • Glassline Metro: Arteries of the city; reflective tunnels where odds feel “loud.” • The Quiet: A rumored zone where Odds stop moving—foreshadowing endgame forces. Factions • Municipal Risk Office (MRO): Bureau that tracks statistical anomalies; polite on paper, predatory in practice. • The Erased: Black-bag unit rumored to “remove” unstable Dwellers. Recurring Antagonists • Rael, “The Eraser”: Uncanny calm; his talent dampens other Dwellers’ Tacks in close range. He is the city’s whispered full stop. • Anti-Kai (Kairo Tsukami): Never named on-page yet. Thematic opposite of Kai—fixes outcomes by stealing other people’s Will. Themes • Choice vs. inevitability, the cost of power, anonymity in crowds, the math of mercy. VISUAL STYLE GUIDE (for art consistency) • Line: Clean, high-contrast inks; thin outline on faces, heavy shadows on urban geometry. • Tone: Filmic noir with sharp whites for the “Odds” filaments. • Odds Visualization: Fine hairline threads and moiré patterns drifting off objects; when Kai focuses, threads bloom like dandelion seeds frozen mid-gust. • SFX: Minimalist lettering, small caps with long em dashes for sustained sounds (e.g., VRRR—). • Panel Rhythm: Quiet micro-panels for intention → explode into wide panels for consequence. CAST (Core + Non-Dwellers — at least 5) Kai Kurozawa (17) • A drifter with a coin ritual. Soft voice, sharp eyes. Edge: Coin Flip. • Quirk: Counts his breaths when deciding; breath 7 is commitment. • Flaw: Terrified of being the cause. Mei Arakawa (19) — Journalism student, street photographer. Non-Dweller. • Brave to a fault; sees patterns in people. Keeps instant camera on wrist. Jun “Switch” Tanaka (18) — Electronics stall kid; builds things from city trash. Non-Dweller. • Grease smudges, perpetual grin, a tool roll like a scroll. Aya Mori (20) — Med student volunteering at a night clinic. Non-Dweller. • Steady hands; refuses to look away from ugly truths. Inspector Haruto Ishii (34) — MRO field officer. Non-Dweller. • Polite, dry, exhausted; catalogues “anomaly sites.” Koji Nakamura (52) — Market grocer. Non-Dweller. • Kind man, jokes in proverbs. (Mark as at risk in early arcs.) Daichi (12) — Rooftop runner, orphan. Non-Dweller. • Knows every shortcut; sells maps he draws by hand. Rael (??) — “The Eraser.” Dweller. • Neutral face; shoes make no sound. The city gets quiet when he arrives. HIDDEN SEEDS in Chapter One • Page 3: A passerby with a ring—three triangular prongs. Later revealed as an Erased marker. • Page 17: Black van reflection in puddle (MRO plate pattern: 131-21). • Page 28: Blank spot in Kai’s Odds vision (Rael’s signature dampening at distance). • Final Page: A second coin in gutter, heads scratched with a thin inverted cross (Anti-Kai sigil—unexplained). CHAPTER ONE: PAGE-BY-PAGE SCRIPT & STORYBOARD Length: 36 pages (tankōbon pacing). Goal: Introduce Kai, demonstrate low-tier Tack, show cost, hook with a moral pivot.$

"With a GPS tracker, a note taped to the steering wheel, and zero ambiguity."
"Cipher got the good tuna. He earned it."

Crossfire Hearts follows Riku Hayase, a talented but emotionally burnt‑out FPS player, and Miyu Aoyama, a gentle, isolated girl who finds comfort in MMORPGs. Their worlds collide when they meet inside Eternal Realms, where Riku plays as the swift, deadly ranger Crossfire, and Miyu plays as the luminous healer LunaVale. What begins as a simple dungeon run slowly becomes a bond neither expected.
As they grow closer, their in‑game partnership becomes a lifeline for both of them. Riku rediscovers joy after competitive burnout, while Miyu finds someone who listens, understands, and never judges her. Their first real‑life meeting is awkward, sweet, and life‑changing — the moment their online connection becomes something real.
But their relationship is tested by Obsidian Crown, a rival guild led by the cold strategist Blackthorn and the obsessive assassin NightReaver, who fixates on Miyu and targets Riku out of jealousy. Guild wars, PvP duels, and server‑wide conflicts push Riku and Miyu to fight side by side, strengthening their bond even as real‑life pressures mount.
Miyu’s strict home life becomes the greatest obstacle. Her mother disapproves of gaming, isolates her, and eventually cuts her off entirely. The emotional distance nearly breaks them — Miyu feels trapped, Riku feels helpless, and their worlds begin to drift apart. But they refuse to let go. Riku confronts her mother, Miyu stands up for herself, and their friends rally around them.
The final arc brings everything full circle: Riku competes in the world esports championship while Moonlight Vanguard races Obsidian Crown to defeat the expansion’s final raid boss, the Eclipse Sovereign. Both battles mirror each other — pressure, teamwork, trust, and the fear of losing what matters most.
Riku wins the championship.
Moonlight Vanguard clears the raid first.
And in front of a roaring crowd, Riku and Miyu finally confess their love openly — not as Crossfire and LunaVale, but as themselves.
The story ends years later, with the two living together, still gaming side by side, still partners in every world they share.

it needs to be in color( no weapon no book) Her fingers traced the cold iron bars. How many nights had she spent here? How many times had she counted the bars, unable to sleep?
The space smelled like hay and rust and old wood. There were scratches in the walls—claw marks from previous performers, maybe. Or from her own restless nights.
She curled up on the mattress, tail wrapped around herself, ears flat against her skull.
"I’m a bird trapped in a cage," she whispered to the darkness.
The lantern flickered.
And then—movement outside her window.
A tall figure passed by, silhouetted against the moonlight.
Cinder sat up, ears perking.
The figure wore a long coat and a plague doctor mask—the beak curved and sharp. But strangest of all, faint stars seemed to glow across the mask’s surface, like constellations trapped in porcelain.
Her heart skipped.
Who—?
The figure moved silently through the sleeping circus, heading toward the edge of the grounds.
For the first time in weeks, she felt something other than despair.
Curiosity.

Moments later she appeared in the forest.

Before the tree.

Before the woodcutter.

“Greetings, woodcutter,” she said casually.

The man turned and smiled.

“Greetings, traveler.”

He raised his axe slightly in greeting.

“Would you like to accept a quest?”

Virella tilted her head.

“Tell me something first.”

The woodcutter blinked.

“Yes?”

“Where is the wood you’ve gathered?”

He hesitated.

“Well… the wood I gathered is…”

His voice faltered.

Virella stepped closer.

“Where is your house?”

“I… live with my mother and sister…”

“And what are their names?”

Silence.

The woodcutter’s breathing quickened.

Virella’s eyes gleamed with faint magic.

“When was the last time you brought wood home?”

“The last time I—”

His voice broke.

“How long have you been cutting this tree?”

“I have been cutting this tree for…”

He froze.

Virella leaned close to his ear.

“You’ve been cutting this tree for five hundred years.”

The man’s face drained of color.

“You haven’t moved from this spot.”

Her voice grew colder.

“You haven’t chopped any wood.”

“You haven’t taken anything home.”

“Your sister and your mother have been dead for five hundred years.”

The world seemed to collapse around him.

“You have no home.”

She whispered the final truth.

“You don’t even have a name.”

Memories flooded his mind.

A small house.

A loving mother.

A laughing sister.

Cold winter nights.

Then darkness.

Chains.

Magic.

Pain.

His scream tore through the forest.

“No… no this can’t be real… this can’t be real!”

His body trembled violently.

For a moment—

it seemed the enchantment might break.

Then he turned back toward the tree.

And raised his axe.

“I need to gather wood,” he muttered weakly.

“My family needs it for the winter.”

Kaelis watched from the mirror, tears falling.

Virella smiled faintly.

“Then live in ignorance for another five hundred years.”

She turned away.

“The god who destroyed your life doesn’t even remember you.”

Her voice faded as she disappeared.

“And neither will I.”

speech bubble style manga: “No…”, “NOOO!!!”, “Please… NOOO!!!”

A group of adventurers, tired of exploring forgotten ruins and places with no real challenges, end up discovering ancient accounts of a place avoided by everyone: a dark forest, shrouded in mystery and marked by a terrifying history. They say that anyone who ventures there never returns — disappearing without a trace.

Driven by curiosity and a desire to experience something different, they decide to explore the so-called Silent Forest, believing it will be just another extraordinary adventure. However, what begins as a simple expedition soon turns into a deadly nightmare, where the forest seems to watch every step, every decision... and every mistake.

Now, trapped in a hostile environment full of secrets, the adventurers must uncover the mysteries of the place, solve enigmas, and face their own fears in an attempt to escape.

$Katyka tenía seis años y todavía dormía con los pies descubiertos. En la penumbra de su habitación, la noche parecía contener la respiración. Las paredes, pintadas en tonos suaves azul y rosa, se veían deslavadas, como si un amanecer se hubiera quedado atrapado ahí y se negara a avanzar. La cama baja estaba revuelta, con una manta hecha bolita cerca de los pies y un peluche boca abajo, mirando al vacío. Sobre la mesita de noche, libros de dibujos con esquinas dobladas y hojas arrugadas se amontonaban alrededor de una caja de crayones abierta. La ventana estaba entreabierta. Por la rendija entraba un aire frío que hacía bailar la cortina. Más allá, clavada en el cielo, brillaba una estrella distinta a las demás: una luz de plata, fija, alerta. La Estrella de Plata. Katy soñaba. En su sueño, el cielo no era cielo, sino un espejo oscuro. Sobre él, siete lunas flotaban alineadas en perfecta quietud, como cuentas en un hilo invisible. Cada luna tenía un símbolo grabado en su superficie, tan nítido que parecía dibujado con luz: La primera, un fuego que se retorcía sin consumir nada. La segunda, un copo de hielo, fractal e imposible. La tercera, una pluma suspendida en caída eterna. La cuarta, una garra curvada, afilada, casi viva. La quinta, una lágrima que nunca terminaba de caer. La sexta, una sombra sin forma, como un borrón vivo. La séptima, un símbolo hecho de ondas, como un canto congelado. Las siete lunas giraban lentamente sobre sí mismas, proyectando reflejos que se entremezclaban. Cada vez que una luna se inclinaba, su símbolo se estampaba en el espejo oscuro bajo ellas, como si marcara un territorio secreto. Katy no hablaba en el sueño. No sabía si podía. Pero sentía algo: una presión en el pecho, un tirón suave que no dolía, pero que daba miedo. Como si alguien —o algo— la estuviera tomando de la mano desde muy lejos y tirara de ella hacia esas lunas. Entonces escuchó la voz.$

A pleasant day in Swastik Residency, Thane. Children can be heard playing games in the Society
playground. Amidst the Jolly mood of the society, A rather timid boy sits in the verandah glancing over
his book, on the blissful interactions he sought after. Enter Archit, our main character. He was a bright
boy and a quick learner. However, appearance-wise, He was just any other boy, you'd find every 2 doors.
He would have loved to go play with others if not for his series of tests at his school soon. However, he
had some friends who’d come to visit him & study with him. One of them was Jash, also known as "J
wala Jash”. Archit hoped at least he would visit on this gloomy day, and so did he.
Jash came in and started bothering Archit. He pulled him and asked him to stop being a bookworm for
once. Archit was enraged, yet Jash had a point. It had been ages since he had a nice walk, so he agreed.
Jash told him he had something to show Archit. Curious, yet nonchalant, they walked the length of their
lodge all the way to the nearest elevator. But something was strange. Archit had never seen Jash so
excited about something. The elevator dinged and they teetered out the apartment into the large open
space. That’s when Archit realised Jash was dressed rather well for a normal day. A matte-brown
corduroy over a pleasant white Tee. His trousers hung low yet went well with his outfit he had a musk
essence coming off of him. While our man, well, he looked as if he had just woke up from a nightmare
and wet his pants. Yet they trotted their way all the way through the society gates to the main road.
Archit having not walked for a while, felt tired and uninterested in whatever Jash was so excited about.
Jash took Archit to the famous “Tapas Ke Golgappe”. It was a Pani puri shop famous for its “Dhaakan Pani
Puri”. Archit slightly annoyed asked the reason for visiting a Pani Puri shop, when he had so much work
to do. Jash informed that they were waiting for someone, just a few more minutes. Jash convinced Archit
to stay by buying him a ‘Golgappa’ plate while treating himself to Sev puri. While eating a golgappa,
Archit saw a charming girl come over. She was gorgeous and stunning. Her smile kept his mouth gape
open. Then all of a sudden, Jash took hold of her and introduced her to Archit as his girlfriend.
Bamboozled, Archita choked on his golgappa and coughed the life out of him. The girl pitied and grinned
at Archit's sorry state.
The girl introduced herself as Paulami, Her voice, honey to Archit's ears. At that moment, Archit
experienced something, he had never experienced before. his stomach. tickled and his face turned red.
Her voice echoed in his ears and his face couldn't stop smiling. Jash & Paulami held each other's hands
and started talking like lovebirds. The conversation could be interpreted as a script for a romantic movie.
The more they talked, the closer they got. Even the reader could predict what was gonna happen next.
Both the lovebirds leaned in for a kiss when it was interrupted by a loud, hoarse voice. from the owner
Tapas, “DON'T DO THIS TAATI POTTY IN FRONT OF MY SHOP, DHAAKAN". Scared the shit out of
them. The Trio ran all the way home never stopping once. Jash bid Archit farewell and led Paulami to his
house. Archit walked back home, thinking of this Newfound feeling. Was it Love? Or was it Hormones?
He could never know until they met again. The only thing he could focus on now was recovering from
Tapas’ Trauma.
