Chapter 36 - No Pera 36 – “Almost Slipped!”

🕵️‍♂️🎈

The next day on campus begins with a strange kind of busyness. On the outside, everything feels normal classes, notes, tea but on the inside? A total time bomb, ticking away! ⏰💥

📍 Rooftop – Above the Canteen

Garnet and Ayan are secretly working on the rooftop. Lights are being hung, balloons are being blown up… and every little sound feels terrifying 😰🎈

Garnet:"Quiet! She's not coming this way, right?" 😤👂

Ayan:"Relax, man she's in the library. But why are you so nervous?" 😏

Garnet:"Because if Ohona shows up suddenly, our 'surprise' will turn straight into a 'disaster'!" 😑💣

📍 Library

Ohona is reading… or at least trying to. Her eyes move over the pages, but her mind drifts somewhere else 📖💭

Ohona (to herself):"Everyone feels so distant lately… Safia, Ayan and Tanid is completely quiet." 😔☁️

Just then 

📍 In the Corridor

Safia comes running, a paper bag in her hand 📄🛍️And right in front of her… Ohona! 😳⚠️

Safia:"Oh—uh—Ohona!" 😅

Ohona:"What's in that bag?" 🤨

Safia (flustered):"This? Umm… group study… uh… notes!" 🤓📚

Ohona narrows her eyes. One second… two seconds… 😶‍🌫️

Ohona:"You're lying." 😐

Safia (laughing nervously):"No, no! You're overthinking." 😆💦

Right then, Ayan calls📱 RING!

Safia (answering):"Yeah, say it!"

Ayan (shouting):"We're out of balloons! And Ohona"

Safia:"Shut up!!!" 😱📱💥

Ohona:"…Balloons?" 🤔🎈

A completely breath-holding moment.

Safia blurts out quickly"Debate club decorations!" 😤

Ohona stays silent for a moment. Then she smiles lightly 🙂

Ohona:"Alright. Go save your debate." 😌

Safia exhales in relief 😮‍💨"Saved…"

📍 Elsewhere – Hostel Kitchen

Tanid stands alone, baking a cake. Flour, eggs, and massive confusion everywhere 🍰🧪

Tanid:"Is this a cake, or is it about to explode…?" 😅

Standing in front of the oven, he pauses.

Tanid (to himself):"When she smiles… all the struggles feel worth it." 😊🎈

📍 Final Scene

In the evening, Ohona looks toward the rooftop she notices a tiny flicker of lights… but can't be sure 🌆✨

Ohona (to herself):"Something's going on… but what?" 🤍❓

And in the distance everyone becomes even more careful.

Because the surprise is now in even greater danger 😏🔥

(To be continued…) 💌✨
