ch 3: The bet

At Nikhil's house, Nikhil's friend Ankur finds a pencil sketch of the girl placed on the table. Ankur asked "Who is this girl?"

Nikhil said "Remember when we were in Pondicherry. You dared me to kiss a birthday girl. She is the one."

"You remembered her face"

"How could I forget it? I kissed her without knowing her name"

Ankur said "I have expected slapping for kissing her didn't expect to pay her bill"

Nikhil said "It's worth paying 12,000/-"

"It's because the wallet is mine"

Nikhil cleared his throat and remembers the incident happened in Pondicherry

In Pondicherry at the club, Ankur asked "Why do you want to join Infosys? Amazon is far better than Infosys. "

Nikhil mocked his friend "Because I love you. I have decided to stay by your side. I think we are destined to be together."

Ankur kicked his *ss "Why don't you see your future?"

Nikhil said "Even I got selected into the top most company. I don't care. Let's go together. Whatever place it is hell or heaven. I will accompany you there too."

Ankur said "Sometimes you are cheesy. Let's have a bet. If you won the bet, you can choose Infosys, Otherwise you have listen to me"

Nikhil said "What is your bet?"

Ankur looked around the club. "How about kissing that birthday girl?"

Nikhil said "This is the bet"

Ankur said "The bet is not about kissing. The bet is about after kissing. I bet you will get slap from that girl"

Nikhil asked "I have expected it. If I won..". Ankur completed the sentence "The bill is on me"

Nikhil said "You missed something. You didn't mention the place. I could kiss her in the hand"

Ankur started to say something. Nikhil interrupted "it's too late"

When Nikhil called her "Hey birthday girl" Yajna turned around to look at him. The pineapple cream is stuck near her lips unconsciously Nikhil shakes hands with her. Nikhil whispered in her ears "My friend dared me to kiss you" pulled her into him and kissed her.

After the kiss, Yajna gave Bill and left with her friends. Ankur came to him "I didn't expect you to kiss her in the lips"

Nikhil said "Neither do I "

Ankur said "You are lucky this time" Nikhil said "and you are unlucky this time" and gave the bill to him.

Ankur asked "What is it?"

Nikhil took the wallet from Ankur and smiled "Price of the kiss" and Nikhil left to pay the bill

Ankur asked "Why do I have to pay the bill for your kiss?"

Back to the present, Ankur asked "I am still wondering. Why you drew the picture of her"

Nikhil felt ~For some reason, I don't want to forget her. I feel like I am indebt to her. Moreover I don't even understand myself I remember her face clearly~ and said "Did you pack everything to leave?"

Ankur and Nikhil boarded a bus from Hyderabad to Mysore.

Ankur and Nikhil became friends when they were studying 12th grade. When Nikhil was walking absent minded in the road. Ankur saved Nikhil from getting hit from the car while crossing the road.

From the moment Nikhil got saved. He has been staying by his side.
