The two welcomes
Ana was having an unusual dream. In that dream, G-one, rumbling with some men like a lightning strike comes to Ana, and stands before her. Ana, young, scared, tears running down her cheeks. G-one wipes off her tears and grabs her by the waist pulling her close.
G-one: What is this? Is that fear I sense in you, my queen?
Ana rises quick, realising it was just a dream. She rubs her head and gets down of her bed. She changes into her casual attire and leaves for the college. She walked through the gates of the college. Walking towards her class, someone grabbed her waist from behind, she quickly looks to her side, and saw G-one, who faded out turning into Shanaya.
Shanaya: Hey, Ana. On time as always.
Ana: Good, good morning.
Shanaya: You ok, did I grab you too tight today?
Ana: No, I was just surprised.
Mina: Surprised! Doesn't she do this almost everyday? Ana, something is bothering you, isn't it? Did any boy harass you?
Ana: No, I just had a bad dream this early morning, that's all.
Shanaya: Just a dream! Silly, you are worked up over a dream. Come on.
Karan passes by them with his gang, grinning while looking at Ana. Ana pays no mind to him.
Aishwarya: That jerk again.
Mina: Damn, just the face I didn't want to see. He ruined my morning taste.
Aishwarya: When will he leave Ana alone?
Shanaya: Let's not talk about this right now. I am going to my class. See you all at the court.
Ana: Ya..
Mina: We should go too. See ya Ana.
Aishwarya: Forget about the dream okay. Good day, girl.
Ana: Forget, I could, only if it really were a dream.
Everyone was focused on the class, teacher scrubbing on the board. Akash whispered to G-one about the mission he was following with Lavangi and Simar.
G-one: (surprised) Seriously! So that's what I felt. Now it makes sense why you, Simar and Lavangi talk in signs.
Akash: If you understand, then help me out with it buddy.
G-one: Why is that? Is it too much for you to handle? And I don't think I would be much of a help.
Akash: Who cares, having you by my side would reduce the burden atleast.
G-one: Shit, looks like the matter is difficult.
Akash: What do you know? These two girls are cracked. They can't do a single thing right and then blame me for it.
G-one: What the! I don't think I will take part in this match making business.
Akash: Please bro, I beg you. Don't leave me alone in this.
Teacher: Mr. Akash, looks like what you are teaching G-one is much more important than what I am scribbling on the board.
Akash: No sir, hehe. I was just telling him to not sleep in the class.
G-one: The fuck! (pinches Akash).
Akash: Ow! Ahaha!
Teacher: Come here and give that lecture to entire class. That philosophy should be shared with everyone.
Akash: No sir, I am sure listening to that will make them fall asleep more than that what you are teaching.
Class laughs..
Teacher: Ok, everyone. Mr Akash, pay attention here, and let Mr G-one sleep if he is that much tired, is it G-one?
G-one: No sir, I wasn't sleeping. I will recite everything you have taught uptil now.
Teacher: Let me teach something first for you to recite.
G-one: Sorry sir.
Piyush: Cool it.
Akash: You cool your junk termite.
Teacher: You again.
Akash: My apologies, dear sir.
Lunch time...
The meal was about done, Akash gives eye sign to G-one. G-one nods his head in agreement.
G-one: I am done. Piyush come along.
Piyush: (wipes his mouth) Ya, behind you.
Mia: I am finished too.
Moon: I am coming too.
G-one: Nikita didn't show up today as well.
Piyush: I haven't seen her for sometime as well.
G-one: How about we go check on her.
Piyush: Leave her be. She is too dangerous to be around anyways.
G-one and the other three leave for the door.
Lily: You three done?
Lavangi: Nah! I will finish my box entirely. I have tried very hard to make this.
Lily: Your efforts shined though. The meal wasn't half bad. Well, I am going to my class. Akash!
Akash: I will help her finish it. You go on. I will meet you in the grounds.
Simar: I..
Lily: Ok, I know you will be helping too. I am going with the others. See ya (leaves to join G-one and others).
Akash: (rests his chin in his two upright fists again, serious) Match making strategy time.
Lavangi: Match what?
Akash: Don't go with the words, understand the feelings.
Lavangi: Give your feelings a rest and show us the way to Piyush's heart.
Akash: Well, for starters let me congratulate Lavangi for her successfully taking a step ahead (gently claps lifting his hands up) and Damn you Simar for screwing up such a good opportunity I provided, nice.
Lavangi: (shy) Enough, it was just a step.
Simar: (sad) Sorry.
Lavangi: Wait what! (surprised) Simar screwed up (kinda happy).
Simar: But, he said he was preparing for honeymoon.
Lavangi: Don't just let words slip out of your mouth.
Akash: Come on, he was yanking your chain. You are a fish brain, you showed him how stupid you are. Why would you yell about his underwear in the public?
Lavangi: What the fuck! (grabs his collar) You sent her with him to buy him a undy. Son of a..
Akash: Yeah, Piyush ripped my shirt yesterday and you rip my butt today, go ahead.
Lavangi: (calms and sits) I am.. I am sorry.
Akash: Yes I did, send her to do the thing you mentioned and she did the job perfectly, wrong. I knew you were an airhead but, there is really air in your head, I realised yesterday.
Simar: (gloomy) Why God! Why you made me like this?
Lavangi: Thankyou god.
Simar: (imagines hanging by a rope)
Akash: Hold it Simar, wait a minute (undo the rope, will ya? I got new piece of information yesterday.
Lavangi: You serious? From where?
Akash: From the man in question himself.
Simar: Oh why would you ask him directly? (scared) He will realise you are upto something.
Akash: I didn't ask him directly termite, I am not like you. I used my technical brain as always.
Yesterday evening...
Moon and Piyush lied on the bed, playing battle royale while Akash sat on his chair with his laptop before him though he was looking in his phone.
Piyush: (tapping hurriedly on his phone) Look inside that house crazy dumbass, hide or he will give you headshot.
Moon: How do I pick up this gun? I cannot pick it up. Why? (tapping quickly)
Piyush: Leave it, I got a pistol here, in this house.
Moon: No, I want this big one. It is a good one.
Piyush: Why do girls always need big? Damn it, look at your hp.
Moon: Oh my, coming through (screaming).
Akash: Hey, I got this app which tell about a person's personality by their zodiac sign.
Piyush: That's all crazy BS. Don't give much thought to it.
Akash: I looked about your sign. It says that this sign boys like girls with timid personality.
Piyush: (still tapping on his phone) Hah! There, I told you it is bullshit.
Akash: How so?
Piyush: I like bad gals with feisty attitude just like Lavangi. I don't care if she is good in anything else or not, but I want her to help me with domestic chores. Introverts don't know much about household chores I suppose.
Akash: Well, introverts are supposed to be more familiar with domestic methods than extroverts, but who cares, this person's depiction sucks. Move out of my phone.
Moon: (still rubbing her phone screen) See my traits too. What kind of boy do I like?
Akash: I don't know your birthday.
Moon: My birthday? Hmm! I don't remember.
Akash: You don't remember! Whatever, it would definitely show G-one kind of boy anyway.
Moon: I am sure.
Piyush: Moon, save me, he took my ass (coughs), I mean he shot me down. Revive.
Moon: Wait, let me kill him first bro. I found my favourite weapon, shotgun.
Akash: (Snickers) Huh! Women.
Back to present...
Lavangi: Did I hear you say women again?
Akash: Did you only hear that but not your name from Piyush's mouth? How crooked!
Lavangi: What do you mean crooked?
Akash: Now listen here and listen good. Piyush likes the two traits which you and Simar posses respectively. So, you got no other choice but to raise your weak points to a standard level.
Lavangi: Oh no, it would be tough.
Akash: You gotta suck it if you want yourself to achieve your goal.
Simar: I will do my best.
Akash: You are already good with chores, you just need a attitude adjustment. Try to impose bad girl attitude in your daily routine. Understood, right?
Simar: You just watch. I will nail this one.
Lavangi: And me?
Akash: You just peel potatoes.
Lavangi: Don't joke yaar (sighs).
Akash: This is no joke, woman.
Piyush and G-one washing hands inside the washroom.
Piyush: Looks like they are not initiating anything towards you.
G-one: Talking about Karan?
Piyush: He is not the type to sit around after being humiliated.
G-one: That's the impression I had has well. Looks like he is keeping his end of the deal.
Piyush: He wouldn't be a real man if he didn't.
G-one: Yeah, I had something to show you.
Piyush: I don't wanna see your dick, crazy fuck.
G-one: Bitch, have it in your mouth.
Piyush: No, thankyou.
G-one: Look, (holds his breath and washes his hands without producing any sparks).
Piyush: What is this miracle? How did you do that?
G-one: If I hold my breath in I can pull all the electricity over my body inside to sustain the heart and brain functioning.
Piyush: I heard that holding your breath for long can cause brain and heart dysfunction due to improper supply of oxygen. So the excess charge in your body replaces the job of oxygen.
G-one: Ya, for a short period. A human can't stay without oxygen for too long.
Piyush: Doesn't that mean you can hold your breath longer?
G-one: I guess so.
Piyush: No shit.
Some of the boys whispered as they walked out of the washroom. Piyush and G-one react to the sound and see someone peeping in. They immediately realise who it was.
Piyush and G-one: Fuuuu!
Piyush: Are you out of your mind Ana? What are you doing peeking inside a boy's restroom?
G-one: (dashes and pulls Ana away to the side, Piyush follows) You are, what do I say? What is this behaviour?
Ana: I heard you two talking about something.
G-one: (nervous) What.. what is that?
Ana: About you using your excess charge to sustain proper brain and heart functions something like that.
Piyush: That, that was, we were talking about a game, crazy girl. You can use the charge you collect to conserve your hp by regulating proper brain and heart functions.
Ana: Is that so? What is that game?
Piyush: Why.. why do you ask?
Ana: I wanna play it too.
Piyush: No, no, no, you won't like it. Just forget about it.
Ana: I asked you to tell me the name.
Piyush: Please, I can't tell you.
Ana: Why is that? You can't tell or you don't have any?
Piyush: It is an adult game, that's why.
G-one: (looks at Piyush, shocked) Huh!
Ana: (asks G-one) Is that true?
G-one: (nervous) Ya, ya hahaha. You know, we boys like kinky stuff and all.
Piyush: Now you see, we don't like giving out our treasures just to anyone. And you are not even our friend. You said it yourself. So, give up already. Let's go bro (walks away).
G-one: Don't take it to the heart. But it's not wrong to play games of that kind, right? (follows Piyush).
Piyush: (walking) And please refrain from pulling the same stunt again, that's not very lady like. It is the job of boys not vice-versa.
G-one: (gives a slight smile and walks away with Piyush).
Ana leaves after that as well. Akash and Lily return to the building as the end of the lunch period draws close. Akash kisses on his right fingers and then lifts Lily's right hand, gently slides his right fingers over the back of Lily's right hand imitating like he kissed on her hand. He winks his right eye and turns back to head for his class. Lily holds her right hand with her left hand, smiling, then walks back to her class as well. Akash was strolling through the corridor heading for his class when Nikita grabs him and pull him behind the corner slamming him on the wall and hold him by the collar.
Akash: Hup! (notices Nikita's glare) Nikita, my dear friend. It's so nice to see you. Hahaha!
Nikita: Dear friend! (spits to the side) Yours? The one who is helping his dear friend's rivals to win over her one and only love?
Akash: (thinks) Damn you bitch, like Piyush was ever yours. (to Nikita) I am your dear friend, that's why I am doing it.
Nikita: What? What did you say? I didn't understand.
Akash: (gets her hands loose of his collars and wraps his arm around Nikita's neck, whispers) You may have forgotten the good old time and all the fun we had together, but I never did.
Nikita: Is that so?
Akash: Ofcourse, let me tell you the strategy I have come up with to make the road to Piyush for you completely clear.
Nikita: Don't lie to me.
Akash: Shut up, termite, listen close. I am purposely giving them tasks opposite to their strengths, so that they fail and give up and all the cards will belong to you.
Nikita: No way, really? I misunderstood you.
Akash: This is, this is because of which I get angry on you.
Nikita: No, no, keep doing what you are doing (corrects his shirt). I thought you were colluding with those two to throw me out when I saw you giving them signs during the class.
Akash: (thinks) Damn right I was.
Nikita: But, I know now my dear friend will never do such thing to me. If he does, then chains and whip, you know what I mean right.
Akash: (imagines himself hanging by chains and being whipped by Nikita with a monstrous laugh) It won't come to that, Nikki. Just be at ease.
Nikita: Nikki! How long has it been since I heard that from your mouth? (rubs his head) I was just kidding, chains and whips are only for bad boys, not for my Akki.
Akash: The seriousness in your words will kill me one day.
Nikita: I will get the death before it gets to you.
Akash: Yeah, right. Yeah, why don't you come to lunch anymore? G-one and others are concerned about you.
Nikita: I am working on a very important assignment with few of my friends.
Akash: You got friends?
Nikita: (glares) Why, are you surprised?
Akash: You got friends, noice.
Nikita: I will see you later then, Akash. Be sure to tie the thread between me and Piyush without any extra knots.
Akash: (Thinks) Bitch, I won't. (speaks) Ofcourse.(thinks) Like hell I will, termite.
Mia sitting in her PHE class with Piyush on her right. She was lost in her thoughts of last night. Piyush observes her while making notes.
Piyush: What has happened to her? Mia! Mia! (shakes her) Mia!
Mia: Umm! Yeah.
Piyush: Looks like you have fallen,
Mia: Fallen, where?
Piyush: In love.
Mia: (blush) Don't, don't be crazy.
Piyush: You are crazy. Pay attention and make notes.
Mia: Oh! Sorry.
The computer lab...
Moon: (typing) I see. So this is supposed to be like this. What's after this?
G-one: (helps her) This and this, after this and done.
Moon: Done, really.
G-one: Why don't you run it?
Moon: Ok, executing the program.
G-one touches the cpu syncing the computer with his conscious and tempers with the result. A web page pops up with a gif of a monkey twerking on Moon's face along with a funny music.
Moon: (breaks into laughter)
G-one: Oh my god! Isn't that, isn't that the twerking monkey virus? What have you done?
The other students notice Moon's monitor and snicker behind.
Moon: (trying to contain her laugh) What is this?
G-one: It is the famous monkey virus.
Moon: What's this supposed to do?
G-one: What's this supposed to do? It bounces data away with its every twerk. Make it stop.
The students reach over to Moon to look into the matter.
Girl 1: How did you create such an, interesting web page?
Boy 1: What coding did you use, Moon? Java?
Moon: I am not sure myself, pfff!
Girl 2: Come on, this is impossible to create using codes, isn't it?
Teacher: (shoves through) Ok guys, easy, what's going on? I thought I asked all of you to work on your javascript. Ms Moon, what is this? You are playing a game?
Moon: No sir, this is the result of a series of code I entered. G-one says I created a famous virus.
Teacher: G-one! You became rich after making fun of her, have you? Enough with teasing the girl. Clear this out of her screen (walks away).
G-one: Right away sir.
Moon: You, you did this on purpose. (Gives a punch on G-one's back as he fixed her computer).
G-one: Ahh! You broke my spine.
Moon: (pulls his ear) Not enough.
G-one: Ouch! Spare me, it was a small joke, yaar.
Moon: (leaves the ear, pulls her keyboard towards herself) I won't leave.
G-one: Leave what? My ear?
Moon: (looking into the screen, smiles) You, ofcourse. I am never leaving you.
G-one: (smiles look) Is that so? Please, don't then.
Moon's face shine as the light from the monitor screen illuminates her sapphire blue eyes.
The activity period...
Ana and the girls dribbling and taking their shots on the court. The boys walks in. As Ana tries to shoot in, Akash rushes in and snatches the ball away from her.
Ana: Huh! You again (chase after him).
Akash: (dribbling towards the basket) You are still lagging behind, child. You still have ways to go.
Ana: (intercepts his shot) I am not that light as you think.
Akash: (dribbling) Isn't light supposed to be a compliment for you?
Ana: Not for me.
Akash: Then how much you weigh? (shoots and basket).
Ana: (grabs the ball and dodge Akash and dunks) Enough to push you down to the ground.
Akash: Ooo! Trying to scare me, child? How about a two pointer challenge? Who ever misses a shot from the points around the paint square, looses.
Ana: I will see you. Bring it on.
Ana and Akash engage with their little skirmish while the others girls hand over the other basketball to the boys tossing it over to them.
Manas: (catches the ball)
Shivam: How's it going girls?
Shanaya: It's not such a bad sport. We are getting a hang of it.
Manas: Well, (looks at Ana and Akash competing) You have got a very competitive coach.
Shanaya: Blessed, ain't we?
Ayush: Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world. So just don't only get a hang of it.
Shanaya: Doesn't look that popular to me. But don't worry, it is pretty fun. Right girls?
Mina: Absolutely!
Anya: No joke.
Shanaya: Get to your game, everyone. Our time is out. Ana! We are leaving.
Ana: (stepping out) I scored four.
Akash: Your maths is greatly weak. It is three.
Ana: Says who scored just two.
Akash: Just a difference of one.
Ana: Two, jerk. Do not cheat.
G-one: Pff! (chuckles).
Ana: (glares at him and shoots the ball at his face).
G-one: (dodges)
Ashutosh: You know I saw that juicy chick yester...( balls hits him flipping him over), holy mother of.
Akash: Gone mad, are you termite?
Ana: Because of you.
G-one: Why are you aiming to break my face then?
Ana: I have a word for you. Come over.
G-one: Shit, could have said that politely (goes to Ana).
Akash: (walks towards the others) Hell of a way to call someone.
G-one: Yup, to what do I owe this conversation?
Ana: Your dog!
G-one: Hmm, what about him?
Ana: Why? are you not surprised that I know about Buddy?
G-one: Ofcourse you would know. You always watched us play together at the park.
Ana: You were aware of me?
G-one: Are you asking or telling? I and Buddy knew everytime that you were hiding outside the park boundaries. You should not wander around so late at night, you know. I was worried. So I asked Buddy to escort you home every day. Did he mess it up somehow?
Ana: No, actually he is very good at it.
G-one: Ofcourse, he is a great dog.
Ana: You knew I was stalk... I mean I was following you every night.
G-one: You were just about to say stalking, weren't you?
Ana: I thought I know you from somewhere, so I just wanted to confirm it.
G-one:. So, how did it turn out?
Ana: It turns out, you are, not the one I am seeking.
G-one: So, we are finished with the surprise splashing, right? We are done, you don't have anything against me, anymore now, do you?
Ana: Hmm! I am sure.
G-one: Thank god. Now I can rest peacefully.
Ana: I am sure, you are not normal.
G-one: Huh! Excuse me, mam.
Ana: You are not ordinary, the face, though I am not sure if your are him, but that face of yours is so much similar to his that I can't ignore it.
G-one: What are you going to do now?
Ana: (puts her finger on G-one's heart) I will find out the connection between you and him, ofcourse.
G-one: But, you just said I was not him.
Ana: I did. But I never said I would stop investigating.
G-one: What! Is this a game?
Ana: I am serious, Mr G-one. I would be careful if I were you (walks away).
G-one: What the! This is a new kind of torture.
Ana: (walking inside, blushing) He knew, I was stalking him. This is not good, I might... no, he is not him or is he?
Rishabh passes by Ana and exchanges glances with her.
G-one: Hey, Shivam, pass me here. (someone puts a hand on his shoulder) Huh! Who is (turns)?
Rishabh: It's me, the guy you met yesterday.
G-one: Rishabh, what are you doing here? Did Karan and his lackeys came after you again?
Rishabh: No, they didn't. Thanks to you. I was here because I thought, I could join the basketball team.
G-one: No, really?
Rishabh: Yes, can I?
G-one: (Yells) Hey, guys, we have another addition to our little team.
Manas: (looks at Rishabh) Is that true?
Everyone rushes towards G-one.
Akash: Yo bro, come on in (shakes hand with Rishabh).
Shivam: Another first year, I see.
Ayush: Good good (shakes hand) Welcome buddy.
Rishabh: Thankyou.
Harsh: What's your name bro? What should we call you?
Rishabh: Rishabh Mishra.
Ashutosh: No way, are you the same Rishabh from yesterday?
G-one: (Wraps his around Rishabh's neck) Ofcourse, he is my partner in crime.
Manas: My man, it's you. The brave one. I was planning to meet you.
Ashutosh: Ofcourse, after G-one told us about yesterday, we knew in an instant that we need a person like you in our group.
Rishabh: Really! How do I say this? I am, very grateful.
Piyush: Come on, let's see how you do with the basketball. Have you played it before anytime?
Rishabh: No, but I am prepared to learn.
Akash: (swats him) That's my boy, let me show you the ropes. But you will have to loose the fat my friend.
Rishabh: I will, I have already thought about it.
Akash: Don't worry, we will turn you into an athlete in no time. Right guys?
Shivam: Is there any doubt?
Ayush: Nothing, just few jumps daily and you will be fit as a kangaroo.
Harsh: I can teach you some fire power (punches in air).
Manas: Idiot, what is he supposed to do by learning that? Punch the ball to basket? Sleazebag!
Harsh: To increase his reflex rate dude. How will he grab our quick passes efficiently?
Akash: I am here, I will show him. Right bro (low five with Rishabh).
Rishabh: (smiles) Ya.
G-one follows them from behind.
After school, G-one and others wave Mia and others bye at the cross section.
Piyush: Oof! What a day!
G-one: It's been fun today.
Akash: Like hell, those two girls rubbed my brains out again today.
G-one: You never experience a good day.
Moon: Hey, what two girls are we talking about? I am not involved in it, right?
G-one: Like hell, you are one of the sweetest girl, you never trouble anyone, My Moon.
Piyush: You started buttering up my sister again before everyone crazy shit.
Akash: Damn, termite. I wished I had my heroine staying with me all the time.
Moon: God knows what happens to you both everytime? Saurya didn't act out this much.
Piyush: Saurya, Your real brother, where is he? Left his sister behind like this.
G-one: Piyush!
Akash: Don't say thing like that dude.
Moon: (sad) I..I don't know where.
G-one: Moon, I ..
A bark interrupts G-one. Buddy come rushing towards G-one and climbs upon him.
Akash: Woah! Bite, gonna bite.
Piyush: G-one!
G-one: (pats his head) Yo, buddy, now, already. We were supposed to meet later.
Moon: (happy) Can I pet him G-one?
G-one: Buddy, Moon, I told you about her right. Go say hello.
Buddy walks towards Moon and Moon crouches to pet him.
Moon: Wow! He is so cute. I wanna keep him.
Akash: You have a dog?
Piyush: You know this dog?
Akash: Ya, that one.
G-one: Ya, listen (tells them about everything).
Piyush: You are crazy stupid. Why didn't you bring him to the room?
Akash: Shit, you took this much time to bring him to us, termite. You will burn in hell (goes and plays with the dog along with Moon). Hey, Buddy, meet me too, or will you only play with this princess. Didn't that dog tell you about me?
Buddy: Woof!
Akash: Oh, looks like he did.
Moon: He is so fluffy. We will take him with us, right Akash?
Akash: Ofcourse, we will. He will stay with us now.
G-one: What are you thinking?
Piyush: What to think? You know how much we love dogs. He is coming with us, you bastard.
G-one: But, the owner, wouldn't he object?
Piyush: The fuck with the owner. We will pay him full. So he doesn't have to worry over anything. If he speaks too much, we will rip his ass apart.
G-one: (laughs) For sure.
Piyush: Hey buddy! Who am I? (reaches towards Buddy).
They take Buddy along with them to their room.
After taking a quick meal, G-one steps out for his part time job.
G-one: I am going now, take care of him, will you?
Moon: Don't worry, (caressing Buddy) I am watching him.
Akash: Get the hell out termite. Don't be a hero, he is now our Buddy. And he seems like a smart dog, he could take care of you if I say so. Right Buddy?
Buddy: Woof!
G-one: Buddy, go bite him.
Buddy run and jumps on Akash.
Akash: (falls of his chair) Oh my god!
G-one: (walks away snickering)
Piyush: (comes out of the kitchen with a bottle in hand) What happened? Already!
Moon: (laughing) Baby! Come over here.
Buddy: (runs to Moon)
Piyush: Baby, or Buddy?
Moon: I am gonna call him baby. He doesn't mind (petting him).
Piyush: Whatever name he responds to. It's his life, his choice.
Akash: A fair point. Buddy, get me my phone please.
Buddy gets up and picks Akash's phone from the bed and heads towards him.
Piyush: Oye! What's this?
Akash: I just said that on a whim. But, damn he is one smart dog. Since when is G-one training him?
Piyush: He said he met him just a few days ago.
Moon: Why are you so shocked? Dogs where I come from were this intelligent too.
Piyush: Oh yeah, like you he dropped down from the heaven. Maybe he is a magician too.
Moon: I don't see any magic in him. But dogs where I come from had magic.
Piyush: Oh god!
Akash: Oh dog!
Moon: Baby, bite both of them.
Akash and Piyush: Oh! No.
G-one works his time, and then walks out locking the door, tossing the keys to Subhu. He starts walking towards his room and finds Buddy sitting again at the end of the supermarket waiting for him. G-one smiles at him and suddenly feints running, Buddy jumps to chase but gets tricked, but then G-one breaks out followed by Buddy, both dashing towards the park. G-one lands on a bench in the park, taking quick breaths. Buddy roams in front of him.
G-one: Go get her.
Buddy runs towards the road and brings Ana to G-one pulling her by the skirt.
Ana: (holding her skirt) Ok, ok, I am coming, Buddy. Let go (stands behind the bench where G-one was sitting).
G-one: So, Ms. queen, I thought you wouldn't be doing this anymore.
Ana: Who are you calling queen? And I never said anything about doing or not doing something.
G-one: I assumed things then, my mistake. But, try to be more discreet when you are pursuing me. You were clearly visible from behind the tree.
Ana: (flustered) I..I wasn't following you. I was returning from...
G-one: From?
Ana: From City centre.
G-one: Very odd timing for a prestigious lady to be out on a shopping stroll.
Ana: I can go whenever and wherever I want.
G-one: Ofcourse you can. But why were you hiding behind the tree then?
Ana: I wasn't hiding. I was just looking for something that I dropped.
G-one: You dropped something? Shall I help you then?
Ana: It's fine, I found it.
G-one: (stands) Well, shouldn't you be going back now?
Ana: (crouches and pets Buddy) I was about to, but this little fellow dragged me here. I suppose you have nothing to do with that, right?
G-one: Maybe, I had.
Ana: So blunt, didn't even deny that?
G-one: Why should I? Wanting to have you before me is not a crime, is it?
Ana: (blush, stares at G-one)
G-one: And I don't like someone creeping behind me like that.
Ana: (annoyed) Who was creeping again?
G-one: Someone was.
Ana: (stands) I should be going now. It's getting late.
Ana begins walking away and Buddy follows her. G-one stood at his place looking her go.
Ana: (notices Buddy) Buddy, you don't have to come with me anymore. Stay.
G-one: Excuse me, that's not gonna happen.
Ana: What's that?
G-one: Unless and until you stop going out late nights, he won't be relieved of his job.
Ana: Who are you to decide that for him?
G-one: I didn't decide it for him. He did it himself. I just said that to him, didn't order him. Right Buddy? Tell her.
Buddy: Woof! (walks around Ana)
Ana: I have a very important business for which I have to go out at this time.
G-one: I know what business it is. But, if you are that desperate to satisfy your curiosity over me, then why don't you just stay close to me instead of hiding that far?
Ana: But you won't tell me about it if you know I am close.
G-one: (walks towards Ana) Let's make a deal, you tell me about your secrets, and I will unravel mine.
Ana: (flushed, turns away) If that's what it will take.
G-one: (smiles) Much obliged. If you don't mind, can I accompany you till your destination?
Ana: Saying no will be no good for the deal we just made.
G-one: A roundabout answer, but, my pleasure. Buddy, continue.
They start walking together towards Ana's dorm.
G-one: So, this dorm of yours, it is all girls dorm right?
Ana: Obviously, why do you ask?
G-one: Just making sure. Don't wanna get smashed by your Warden.
Ana: Well, I have never seen anyone bringing any guy over to their rooms. I wasn't planning you to bring to my room, I was just telling you the fact.
G-one: I never said you did. And I wasn't planning to.
Ana: You weren't?
G-one: If you want me to, then..
Ana: I wasn't and why would I?
G-one: Geez, what do you want me to say?
Ana: Say, where are you from?
G-one: It depends, what you are asking about? My birthplace or my residence?
Ana: Your birthplace.
G-one: Hmm, I can tell you that. I am from my Lord's state.
Ana: Lord's state?
G-one: You know, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
Ana: UP! You are very far from your homeland.
G-one: But not from my home.
Ana: You live in this city then?
G-one: Nope, the city preceding this, I got my permanent home there. I live here in a rented room to attend college along with Piyush, Akash and Moon, which you have already seen.
Ana: (stutters) By..by chance.
G-one: (giggles) I know.
Ana: Why are you laughing?
G-one: Isn't that your dorm over there?
Ana: (thinks) Already!
Buddy: Woof! Woof!
G-one: Looks like Buddy knows.
Ana: I am going now then.
G-one: Let's continue our inquiries another time.
Ana: (walks away and reaches the door and looks back).
G-one: (waves smiling) Good night Ms queen.
Ana: Who are you calling queen? (opens. door).
Dorm master: (standing at the door) Ana!
Ana: Mam!
Dorm master: Who are you talking to? (peeps out).
Ana: (looks back, G-one and Buddy vanished) No, one.
Dorm master: Get in. I heard your voice that's why I came to check. I thought someone was harassing you. Lock the door properly.
Ana: I will.
