After having a strange dream Amar walks to meet with his friends. They all live in the same neighborhood and become friends when they are just kids. When they grew up, they realized all of them are foodies but one of them was crazy for food so they planned to buy the ingredients from the nearby market hub where exotic and rare things are being selled on daily basis.
For the past couple of years, they meet on regular basis near an abandoned house which they kind of do while roaming on streets while playing. It was an empty house, and no one took care of it so they planned to buy the ingredients from the market and make recipes there.
As Amar is walking thinking about the past, he arrives near the house which is kinda spooky from the outside. It was a 2-floor wide building and moss could be seen everywhere. As always when he reaches inside the house through the black door cause the front door is closed shut, he hears his friends speaking with each other and discussing what recipes to make today.
Amar has 5 friends, 3 boys and 2 girls of the same age group. First was Elijah, he is a fiery kid with a temper. Second is Gabriel, he is calm as the ocean and things clearly in every situation and then there is Levi, who is shy but only speaks with us openly. As for the girls, the first is Miriam, she is a social butterfly and popular. Second is Ruth, she is calm with us but rowdy when outside her friends' circle to show dominance.
When his friends finally saw Amar come after a long time, they asked him about the ingredients he would buy today from the market cause it is his day to gather ingredients as it was a cycle from Monday to Saturday.
Yesterday, Gabriel, the calm boy, brought the ingredients from the market after the meet-up so they will make the recipe from his dish today. As Amar was still in a daze from the dream, he had Elijah, the fiery kid who asked what are doing standing there at the door like a pole come we are waiting for ages for you.
Amar suddenly realizes he was standing at the door staring at them like a fool, so he immediately comes to them. He said nothing, just had a weird dream and he told his friends about his dream of his when was traveling via bus. When they all listened to him and his dream they first started laughing and said Amar you must be thinking about the new recipe we will make today and due to excessive thinking, you had such a weird dream while sleeping just forgot it.
He then realizes his friends are telling the truth and he should just move on.
Miriam, the popular girl, said that yesterday's experiment with the recipe was good and they should make a wonderful dish today. As per the recipe name, it was decided to be called "experiment 99" as every recipe was not good. So, for every successful recipe, they all decided to name it to experiment xx and yesterday their 99th experiment with the recipe was successful.
As everyone is thinking of today's recipe and whether will it be successful Gabriel, the calm boy brings out the recipe from his plastic bag which contains the bulk of ingredients as they are not so costly cause their city is an import-export hub everything is cheap here apart from rest of the places.
They all collected the money and bought a clean table and kitchenware to cook their recipes. For gas, they bought a portable stove with a cylinder attached. They spread the ingredients on the table and started to think about what recipe they will make from today's ingredients.
