Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: The Creator’s POV - Part I

People from all over the world have this one doubt or question in their minds.

'Does God accept gay relationships?'

While some people who are apparently in service of me, say I don't. But how do they know? Just because it's written in scriptures? Isn't it possible that over the years people have manipulated the scriptures in the way they desire? I could accept the fact that some men find comfort in people of the same sex or women finding comfort in people of the same sex, right? But who's to say that I do?

This question is better left buried and ignored for now. Like Amar Jadhav who had buried: or at least he thought he did the feelings for Luvraj after catching up a glance of Luvraj and Aman holding hands and smiling in the empty classroom. Amar who was disturbed after seeing them together found himself angry with himself for once never noticed this. I don't know about you but I am rooting for Amar and not for Aman Ansari. Not because he was a bad guy or anything; but because I know Amar will treat Luvraj on a whole different level and way. And if you think I'll manipulate and play with Luvraj's mind into drawing himself towards Amar, then you're wrong. I have no longer doing in that department. I am done after all those people who cursed me.

Believe me, there are many more interesting things going around in the world. But since you are here because of those five stories happening then I am bound to speak about that. While I am not fancying all of this cautious thing for Rokesh, I also don't fancy Romit continuing with this. I mean he knows how this is going to turn out but still he is participating. Well, somehow, it's my fault too. I shouldn't have made the human heart this weak and desperate for love. And they should maintain their distance considering what is written in their fates. I am also scared of what will happen with Deep in the year 2016. Considering his fate, I am feeling a bit sorry for both Deep and Harsh. Believe me, when I say this, I have no control over fate. What is written in it will happen in one way or another. And Ahmed and Riyaz's journey is just too much, I am warning you. And Jayden must be prepared for what's going to happen.

Enough with all of these easter eggs. I have an interesting thought and that is why the author is writing about my POV now and not about what is happening in their lives. So, a scientist with their science says that there are many more planets like the planet Earth and that in some of them, people may live. Like for example, the PK guy. So, what if this was some other world?

The Fateful Tale

narrated by the creator, God.

Let's say every character who has taken Commerce has here taken Science. Here, Deep is the rich kid and goes to college while Harsh is poor and works in different houses. Romit is interested in Ahmed while Ahmed is interested in Rokesh. Rokesh is interested in Ariana who is Deep's girlfriend. Jacob had a romantic history with Aman who is now Jayden's boyfriend. Jayden and Aman aren't the best couples maybe because Jayden is interested in Luvraj who is a nerdy kid who secretly desires Amar; who is in love with Riyaz who crushes on Jacob. And Aman knows that Jayden is interested in Luvraj.

Harsh woke up 10 minutes early from his alarm and just thought of why he was born into this family. He wasn't calling his parents as bad or anything. It's just that he was imprecating on his household situation. He, after working for 3 different households, his dad being a driver and mom selling papadums in the local market, would go through the month. But it was what it was and he cannot do anything. His alarm rang and he got himself up to get ready for work.

It was the day of the class of 2015, juniors of the science department to go for their trip to Khapoli to both Imagica theme park and Imagica water park. But they were going to the water park the next day. For that, they would stay their night over at a hotel named Champollion club. It was morning and they were getting ready for going through the college bus. Everyone was going except Deep because he was feeling sick; that is what he was telling everyone. But the truth was his dad suffering a huge loss and his father said he cannot spend 10,000 rupees on his trip. And so Ariana decided to stay with him too.

Everyone was waiting for people to come but Ahmed, Riyaz, Rokesh, Romit, Jayden, Jacob, Luvraj, Amar, Aman, Sara, Nisha, Priti, Prakash, Sajid, Shahid, and many more were already there to go. Aman noticed how Jayden was admiring the way Luvraj was talking with them. This tore a little bit more of his soul and the hope for them. Deep also joined with Ariana to bid farewell. While Deep was talking to his friends, Rokesh went to meet Ariana.

"Hey." Rokesh greeted.

Ariana, who was talking to his friend turned and said with a smile, "Oh, hey!"

"It sucks you aren't coming," Rokesh said.

"Yeah well, Deep is sick so I should stay with him," Ariana replied. "I wanted to come too."

"Yeah, um--- how is he?" Rokesh asked.

"He's better as you can see. I said we shouldn't come because of his health but he insisted so we eventually came."

Rokesh nodded, "But it's our first trip and we all should be going. It is unfair for you guys."

"It's a first, I agree but there will be many to come. And we'll be together there as well. (Rokesh nods) You know, it feels great that my friend would be missing me."

Rokesh raised a brow, "Friend?"

"Yeah. That what's you are to me." Ariana chirped. "Maybe a best friend." Ariana noticing how Rokesh's face suddenly changed from happy and smiley to utter despair, realized something. "Oh, Rokesh….. No!"

"No?" Rokesh asked in a low yet hopeful voice.

"No, Ro…."

The teacher suddenly said to leave for the trip. Without hearing anything else from Ariana, Rokesh turned and leave. Ariana wanted to call him but she didn't.

The day was spent with the people enjoying rides in the theme park. They enjoyed it very much except Rokesh who was a tad sad about Ariana and all. But along with his friends Romit, Ahmed and others, he managed to have fun and real fun. A day without studies and just fun with friends is always nice and for our good.

There were not many people so two people had to share a room. They got to decide their room partner. Aman & Jayden were sharing a room, Jacob & Romit were sharing a room, Amar & Rokesh were sharing a room and others were sharing rooms with others too.

Harsh and his family were eating dinner together.

"Dad is sick." Harsh's dad said.

"Father is sick?" Harsh's mom asked.

"Yes. Niten called up to inform. He asked to visit. It more felt like a formality so I refused."

"No, you should've said yes." His mom said.

"Don't bother. Dad always manages to get better. He will be better now as well. Anyways we aren't welcome there much you know."

"Yes, but just think. Mother died after we separated from them. And it's been 18 years for that. Do you think Niten and Nalini Bhabhi took care of him well?"

"Yes, Niten was always the distant one. And with Bhabhi's associateship, I don't think they kept dad happy. But how can I face him, Shweta? He ordered me to stay and yet for you, I left everything."

Harsh's mom seemed to have frowned upon the last statement.

"You don't need to hammer me that every day."

Harsh's dad stopped eating and said in annoyance,

"Oh, please Shweta! You know what I say is true."

"Yeah, but you too wanted to run away with me, didn't you?" Shweta asked. But she didn't look up.

"Yeah, that was before I knew what you truly are!"

"What do you mean by that?" Shweta asked looking at her husband.

And then, the shouting began, another fight started between the two. This was like every day now. And Harsh had to endure that always, just like now.

They all were tired but not so to end the day. It's not like every day they would have to worry about the next day for college. They can sleep as late as they want. Most of them were gathered in one room to chitchat.

"Okay, okay guys. Which ride was the best?" Snehal asked and got everyone's attention. "Hmm?"

There was some whispering among each other and just then Snehal said, "It was Rajasauras."

Everyone denied it.

"No! Are you crazy?" Romit asked.

"What?" Snehal asked.

"You sit in dark for so long. You know you are going somewhere but where; you have no idea. And suddenly, you come out from the underworld and fall and you get a splash of water and BOOM! You are all wet. No way it is the best (Everyone accepts) You know what was the best? Gold Rush." Everyone seemed to accept that.

"Shhh…. Pramit vomited after sitting in that ride!" Amruta said.

Everyone awed including Aman,

"Awww..." then he joined others in laughing. Aman noticed Jayden, who was sitting beside him was stuck up to his mobile screen.

"What was your favorite ride, babe?" He asked.

"They all were great," Jayden replied without tearing his eyes off the screen. Aman was disappointed.

"Wait, wait. Have you ever been to Deep Space?" Riyaz asked everyone.

"No," Soni replied.

"The line was too long," Jacob said.

"What is that?" Kartik asked.

"Oh, yeah! Deep Space! Guys, that is the best." Luvraj said enthusiastically.

"Really? What was that?" Amar asked.

"Oh, it was just a roller coaster but with lights off. So, you don't know where you're going." Riyaz replied.

"Really?" Aman asked and after that, he noticed Jayden smiling at something on the phone. He didn't even care Luvraj saying yes to his 'really?'.

"Babe you been to Deep Space?" Aman asked.

"Yes," Jayden replied without tearing his eyes off the screen, again.

Aman took a deep breath to control and asked,

"How was it?"

"Hmm, good," Jayden replied without moving a muscle. He still was ogling on his phone.

Now Aman just was irritated to see Jayden looking at his phone and not being participative in the discussion. He just wanted to see what Jayden was so into. He snatched the phone away and saw something he feared. Luvraj's Instagram profile.

Jayden tried to explain, "Babe, please…."

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" Aman shouted to which everyone fell silent and looked at them.

"Babe, please…"

"If you want to ogle guys then have at least the decency to not do it in front of me!" Aman shouted. "I know you like someone else but at least behave!" Aman left the room. The environment suddenly changed to absolute seriousness and silence. Jayden was left alone while everyone staring at him. And so, Jayden left the room too.

"Was he cheating on him?"

"I think Aman was cheating."

"No, he would never. He truly loved him."

"So, Jayden cheated on him?"

"I never trusted the guy."

"Poor Aman."

Jacob got out of the room to find Aman. No one should be left alone in situations like these. Jacob was desperate to find Aman. He wanted to make sure that Aman was okay. He knew that they were nothing but because of their history, he wanted him to be fine.

Jacob found Aman on the stairs. Aman heard Jacob walking so he turned and chuckled, "If you were Jayden, I would've punched you."

Jacob laughed and joined Aman.

"But you are you, so I could kick you."

"You wouldn't," Jayden said.

Aman laughed and looked ahead,

"Yeah, I wouldn't."

They both sat there for a while and then Aman said, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

Jacob looks at Aman who was looking at him hopefully.

"Do you want me to?"

Aman continues to look ahead and says with a wry chuckle,

"It is surely better than the abyss and this tormenting silence where I could only think of where did I go wrong? I am not liking that. I'd rather hear your voice."

"Well, if you want that, then I shouldn't stop myself from saying this anymore. (Aman gives a questionable look) It was pretty dumb of him to ogle a guy in a room of 20 people." Jacob says with a wide smile.

Aman broke in a fit of laughter but he tried to contain it in.

"Yes, it was. And dumber than we think because he was ogling him sitting beside me."

"Yes, that too." Jacob agreed.

Aman takes a breath and says, "Well, that is how men are. Dumb and Stupid. (Jacob gives him a raised brow) Well, except me."

Then Jacob started to laugh and Aman finally let himself laugh freely. After laughing, Aman said,

"I missed this; you know."

Jacob looked at Aman and asked, "What? Us?"

Aman replied shaking his head, "Nothing happened to us in the first place, Jacob so there was no point in missing us. (Aman realized that this may hurt Jacob. But does nothing) What I meant was I missed this laughing freely, carefree. I was always so conscious of Jayden's doings that I held myself for being wild and just free. In this Jayden business, I restrained myself from being me. The guy who loves nothing but carelessness and rush."

"Then I don't think this was supposed to last. This; you and him. Because you lived being always worried and conscious; not you and he was interested in someone else; you weren't enough for him. So, you should be thankful that this happened this early and like this."

Aman nodded and they both continued to look ahead.

"Are you sure you won't be having any problem sharing a room with Jayden?" Aman asked Jacob while they were walking towards Jayden's former room which was now being shared by Aman with Amar.

"Aman. Romit or Jayden, doesn't matter." Jacob replied with a smile.

Aman shrugged his shoulders with a smile and then shook his head, "So many arrangements just because of my drama."

"Well, it's 2015. People have evolved to respect other people in these matters. And I barely think that Romit, Rokesh, or Amar would be any offended or annoyed. They all are tired and they don't care who they share their room with as long as they get to sleep on the bed." Jacob added.

"True that." Aman agreed.

They reached Jacob's former room and Jacob unlocked the room with his card and gave the card to Aman. Aman went into the room and just then Jacob said, "See you."

Jacob was about to leave when Aman suddenly called him up at the doorstep; still inside the room. Jacob reached to him and then Aman chuckled and said nervously,

"I lied. I um--- do miss us. (Jacob smiled) But you should know, I would never be able to love you. And I know you do, but I am sorry that I don't and can't."

Jacob nodded, "It's okay, Aman. Believe me, I am more than happy to be just your friend. (Aman nodded) Goodnight Aman." And then Jacob went and Aman closed the door.

"You would stick to that corner while I will be at this corner, right?" Romit asked for confirmation.

"But why do we need to share the bed?" Rokesh asked again.

"Because Rokesh it's been a long day for the both of us and I know its has been longer and more tiring for me and I don't see a couch so we have to share a bed, don't we? (Rokesh nods in scare) Fine then, let's sleep!"

They both laid down on the bed and switched off the lights. They faced the opposite side of each other and shut their eyes.

'I don't think I would be able to continue college.' Deep texted.

'Don't say that. It would turn alright eventually.' Ariana replied.

'No, Ari. Every asset of my father's company including my home is sold off and the loss is still left unrecovered. Everyone knows my father's loss and I don't think they would be willing to hire him. We've seen a house in the slums for rent. And today was one trip. On trips after this, what lie would I make? I don't think I am gonna be able to go on any trip anytime soon.'

'Don't say that. This is all gonna turn the way it was.'

Deep suddenly calls to Ariana and she picks up.

"Before you say anything else, this is happening, Ariana. I am leaving college."

"No, you are not."

"Yes, I am. My parents talked to the principal and it's all set."

"What, are you for real?"

"Yes, Ari."

"Your parents shouldn't be doing this, I mean..."

"I asked them to do it, Ariana."

"WHAT!"

"I won't be wanting to spend the money my father would earn on my college. Instead, I would ask him to invest it somewhere; something he didn't do before due to which we are now suffering."

"What?"

"Yes. I won't be coming to college from Monday. Today was kind of goodbye."

"Wait, is that why I saw you talking to teachers? They know you are leaving?"

"Yes."

"Wha--- and what about your friends?"

"I told them this morning. I asked them not to tell you."

"No, listen…."

No, you listen Ariana. Now because of my fate, I won't be able to make you happy and believe me, you won't be happy with me."

"No, don't do this, Deep please."

"This is good for both of us. Sooner or later, you'll be bored with me and I don't want that for us."

"No, Deep…."

"This is what I want for us. You live your life to the fullest."

"Deep, wait….'

"Goodbye Ariana. I love you." Deep hangs the phone call.

"Dee--- Hello? Hello? Deep? Hello?" Ariana looked at her cell and couldn't believe what happened. Deep just broke up and left college. She took a while to take everything in. After that, she Whatsapped Deep but she noticed his D.P. was not there anymore.

'Oh no, you didn't!'

After that, she called him.

'You are not allowed to call on this number.'

Rokesh was tired of fighting for the blanket from Romit. So, he turned and faced Romit's back. And then finally was able to get the blanket covering his whole body. Never did Rokesh noticed Romit's butt until now. It was so enchanting. Mesmerizing. Just when he was staring at those two round magnificent pieces of flesh, he realized he has an erection. Embarrassed high time. Before he could turn away or something, Romit got closer to avoid falling from the bed in sleep and his butt touched Rokesh's dick. And then, it was going harder. Romit was well aware of everything going on but for a reason he didn't know, he didn't move away. Rokesh could swear he hadn't ever been so horny. Rokesh touched on the waistband of trousers Romit was wearing; indicating he wanted them off. Romit lowered his trousers thus revealing his butt. Rokesh then lowered his trousers and pushed that dick in. With the help of soft moaning from both sides, Rokesh got the strength of doing it faster.

It felt as if tables have completely turned for Harsh and his family. Ever since Harsh's uncle visited them and informed them about his grandad's will which stated after his demise, everything which he owned will be now named after Harsh's dad. Meaning his dad's company, his fortune, bungalow, and cars; everything was now named after Harsh's dad. Working all those nights and days every day finally paid off and now life gave them the life they deserved.

"Truth be told, I don't think any of us would like to work hard. After all, it's what we all have been doing from all these years." Harsh's dad said while they were eating dinner at the dining table.

"Well except you who has to work for the company." Harsh's mom continued.

"It's my own damn company and the owner hardly does any work. But I'll work satisfyingly."

"And now I can continue my studies at a good college. And dad I'd like to study Science. I am better in that department than Math. What do you say?"

His dad noddingly answered, "Why not, why not. And though it's a little late, you will get your studies."

Harsh laughed and said after eating a little,

"You know dad, I always dreamt of having a driver. Can we hire one?" Harsh asked the question in excitement.

"Don't worry son, I am a step ahead of you. I've already hired a driver."

"Seriously?" Harsh asked with both of his eyes wide open.

"Yes. His name is Mahendra. He has a daughter and a son named Deep, maybe."

It was Monday. College life resumes. The lectures, the practical, the homework, assignment; basically, their fun time was over. At least that's what some of them expected.

Aman calls Jayden before class in the canteen. Jayden shows up and sits across Aman. Aman asks for Jayden's hand and Jayden gives. Aman's eyes fill up with tears but he controls them and tightly holds them with both of his hands. He kisses the joined hands and smiles sadly and nods and then chuckles; still holding those tears. And then he leaves Jayden's hand and then his tears escape out. "Goodbye." Aman manages to say and then he leaves.

Jayden quite didn't understand why Aman said goodbye. It wasn't like they weren't going to not see each other. It was then Jayden realized that the part of Aman which was his friend, his lover, that part said goodbye to him and now they were nothing. This hit Jayden hard that things between him and Aman will never be the same. Jayden was quite sad because he did once loved Aman but things changed and his feelings for Aman changed with them too.

'This was meant to happen sooner or later. We just weren't meant to be.'

At least now, Jayden won't be feeling guilty or anything bad while proposing to Luvraj.

It was declared that the first lecture was free. Riyaz saw a dream last night of sharing a strawberry with Amar. This was the 30th dream that had Amar in it in a romantic way. And yes, he kept count. Who does that right? Riyaz does and he decided his mind to express his feelings to Amar. Because the more dreams he would get, the more he would hope for him saying yes. And there is a great possibility of him saying no. So, he made his mind to confess there and then.

When Amar's class partner Jayden went out of the classroom to use the washroom, Riyaz filled with utter confidence and courage sat on the empty seat beside Amar while the whole class continued to chat except Romit who got a text from Rokesh asking him to meet in old gymnasium room. To talk. And so Romit went out of the class.

"Hey." Riyaz greeted.

Amar turns and says with a smile, "And he shows up."

Riyaz chuckles a little. "What?" Amar asks.

Riyaz looks at him and before he could chicken out, he says,

"Okay, let me just say it. Will you consider going out with me?"

Amar widens his eyes and blinks a few times before replying,

"Riyaz, um--- listen, you are a…. wonderful guy and…."

Riyaz gives an understanding nod and breathes in,

"It's no, right?"

Amar thinks of lying but that would do no good so he says the truth, "No, actually um---- I am interested in someone else."

Riyaz nods slowly. "Still friends, right?"

"Right.." Riyaz whispered, smiled, and left to sit in his place.

After taking a few deep breaths to control his emotions, Luvraj sits beside him.

"You okay?" Luvraj asks.

Riyaz laughs because he is almost crying and still, he is asking him whether he is okay or not.

"Yes. I am okay."

"Good. You don't look good when you aren't okay." Luvraj says to which Riyaz looks at him with a raised eyebrow; might knowing where is this held.

"So, here's the thing. I might have a crush on you." Luvraj says nervously.

Riyaz asks, "What do you like in me?"

This caught Luvraj off-guard because he wasn't prepared for this. He was either prepared for a yes or no but this wasn't what he was prepared for.

"I mean um--- everything. The way you are…."

"Be specific, Luvraj!" Riyaz demanded.

Luvraj was trying to be specific but he couldn't find the thing which drawn him to Riyaz.

"When did you realize you are gay?"

"What?"

"Since when are you out?"

"Like 1 month."

"Hmm. Luvraj, listen. You don't have a crush on me. Your mind is just exploring boys. You just have an attraction to me, nothing else. Okay, concentrate on Rokesh. Just think of him and his looks. The way he smiles and the way he flicks his hair; just think about him. Now imagine him biting his lip and now….. open your eyes! (Luvraj open his eyes) Aren't you attracted to him now?"

Luvraj nods and Riyaz smiles. The whole world has changed for Luvraj as he has been realized that he could be confused about his feelings and now he is vulnerable more than ever.

Romit reaches outside the old gymnasium club as asked and Rokesh pulls him in and shuts the door.

"The thing that happened between us was just a result of being horny, okay," Rokesh says.

"Yes, I agree" Romit replies.

"Good."

"And it was a one-night thing and we won't be wanting to do it anymore, right?"

"Right!"

"Then why is your dick hard?" Romit asks.

Rokesh looks down and realizes he is having an erection.

"And what about your dick?"

Romit then realizes too he is having an erection. They both look at each other and they both take a step ahead.

Luvraj is in the washroom washing his face and trying to wash the reality that his crush on Riyaz was just a side effect of his newly-found sexuality. And this was all being realized by Riyaz only. Been embarrassed. He just wanted to forget everything and just then Jayden entered.

Luvraj looked at Jayden and said, "Hey Jayden. Heard you and Aman broke up."

Jayden frowned and said, "How did you know about that?'

Luvraj closed the tap and said, "Word gets around. So how are you?"

Jayden replies while Luvraj wipes his face from a handkerchief,

"I am feeling okay. It was meant to happen. I was feeling for someone else, you see."

"Oh? Who?" Luvraj asked.

Jayden looks at Luvraj and steps a little closer to Luvraj and replies, "You. (Luvraj gives a confused look) Seriously it's you. I like you all this time. I just liked you from the moment…."

"Stop right there, Jayden. This is not gonna happen. I need some time going into these relationships. And besides, you'll always be a friend to me."

Ahmed was always a free spirit.

'I always like traveling and not being in one place.'

And that's why when he knew the first lecture was free, he started roaming here and there. While walking around the old gymnasium room, he was thinking of how he could propose Rokesh. Just then he heard soft moaning and groaning from the old gymnasium room. He got closer to it and realized it was of Romit and Rokesh. 'ROKESH!!!!!'

To not believe what was happening, he was thinking it isn't Rokesh. Just then he heard Rokesh saying, "We should be quieter, right?" to which Romit replied, "Yeah, UH!!!!!"

Ariana was sitting alone on her bench. She looked at the empty seat beside her which was once Deep's place. She realized other than being Deep's girlfriend, she didn't have any true, strong relationship with anyone. She was about to listen to songs on her phone when someone sat beside her; a guy. Ariana looked at him with a confusing face; not believing that someone did sit beside her. She noticed she hadn't looked at the guy before.

"Sorry was this seat taken?" the guy asked.

Ariana shook her head and shrugged, "No."

"Cool." The guy said and looked ahead.

"Sorry but uh--- are you new here?"

The guy looked at her and he said,

"Yes, um… I am new. According to the teachers and principal, I filled someone's place. Did someone leave this class recently?"

Ariana took a while to think what the guy just said and then answered; loathing Deep, "Yes someone did. His name was Deep. He's my boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend."

"I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are okay."

"I will be."

"Well, I guess I am here for that. Here, (offers a hand to shake) I am Harsh."

Ariana looks at his hand and shakes too. "I am Ariana."

"Nice to meet you, Ariana."

"Same."

"(looks at his watch) It seems I am an hour late. Did I miss anything?"

Ariana gladly smiles looking at Harsh and replies,

"No. Nothing happened."

"I am here," Aman said to Luvraj who was standing outside the gate.

"Yes. It sucks here. Come on, let's go have some fun."

"But just us two?"

Luvraj thinks deeply, "Yes, you are right. We should call someone else too, right? (Aman nods) But who?"

"Can I come?" asked a voice from behind. They turned to see it was Amar.

"You are Amar, right? We shared a room."

"Yes, I am Amar."

"Why do you want to come with us?" Luvraj asked.

"Because I am sure my day sucked as much as yours did."

Luvraj and Aman looked at each other and shrugged, "Okay, you can come." Aman said.

After facing such a rejection, Jayden decided to hide in the library.

"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked from behind.

Jayden turned his head and asked the same question. Jacob instead of answering sat beside him and said, "I am wherever someone needs me. And it looks like you need someone to talk to."

Jayden chuckled and then looked ahead. And then there was silence. For a really short time though, "Aren't you gonna say something?"

"Do you want me to?" Jacob asked back a question.

"Yes, please, yes!"

Jacob giggled and thought for a while. And then he said,

"You snore a lot."

Jayden gasped and nudged Jacob's shoulder,

"You move a lot!"

And then they both laughed irrespective of being in a library.

There were only 5 minutes left for the next lecture and Riyaz was sitting alone. His partner was Jacob but he was in the library. Ahmed entered the classroom after witnessing what was happening in the old gymnasium room and sat at his place. But then he realized he sits beside Rokesh. To avoid him, he took his bag and sat at the closest empty place; beside Riyaz.

Riyaz gave a glance at Ahmed and then looked ahead,

"You look like shit!"

Ahmed looked at Riyaz who was looking ahead and so he looked ahead too. "You too."

"What happened to you?" Riyaz asked still looking ahead.

Ahmed shook his head and said, "Ate something I shouldn't have." Ahmed lied. "You?"

"Did something I shouldn't have."

And then there was silence.

After some time, Ahmed surrendered and confessed, "You know, I won't be able to concentrate." Ahmed got up and took his bag.

Riyaz looked at Ahmed and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ahmed answered while checking how much money he has left, "I don't know. Somewhere. Anywhere but here. (Puts his wallet back in his pocket, then looks at Riyaz who was looking at him in wonder) Wanna come?"
