Chapter 6: A Morning Cliffhanger
At nine in the morning, I was still half-asleep when Priya’s urgent call rang. My ringtone was the old Bollywood classic—just to add to the drama.
I groggily answered, “What’s wrong?”
Priya’s voice was panicked.
“Something’s happened, something’s happened, something’s happened!”
I bolted upright in bed, all my sleep gone. My mind raced through a hundred filmi scenarios—did Kunal really show up, did Rohan send a love letter, or did Sneha join our college group chat and start drama again? I clutched my phone tight, ready for the next episode in our never-ending real-life masala serial.
My heart thudded as her words echoed—something’s happened. I had no idea if this was the start of another gaming disaster, or the biggest plot twist of our lives.
