Friends

Cris high-fived Amulya very hard then he began to explain his plan, First he climbed over the small shop and Shouted, “Listen everyone. Now we have a chance of winning this game, But we need to do this together! First Mia Perez will catch us one by one and quickly go into Red room so that the Robot doesn’t catch us.”

He later continued saying, “I counted there are 35 players including the robot 36, The guy who gets caught at the second last is eliminated from this round and the game will restart, that robot can use the last member as a shield and avoid getting caught if it plays dirty, or if the chain is broken we aren’t safe outside by any means we need to go inside the Red Room. So let’s not break the chain.”

Then a person from the crowd raised his hand and asked, “Who will be that 1 free person?” Cris pulled the shutter of the shop and a person was sitting with his hands tied behind, he was covered in blood. People who were standing close to the shop quickly ran and hid behind Amulya.

A few voices from the crowd shouted, “How the hell are we going to trust that Devil.” And other few said, “ You guys should have killed him.” Casey rages at her position and tries to hit that man but Fizza from behind stops Casey by holding her hand. While Rohit calmly observes from Behind.

Amulya pats the shoulders of the people behind her and tells them, “Don’t be scared of him.”

She climbs the shop and says loudly, “ A second chance in life is what everyone wants and it must be given to anyone, even an enemy! What Vikram did was bad. I hate him so much, even though it's my first time meeting him, But here the enemy is not him! It’s the guy who is making us play this game…WE NEED TO FIND HIM AND KILL HIM!”A few people who crawled out of fear stood up with their chests out and stand, “YES! HAIL VIRUS.”

But a fat guy from the crowd said, “ Hey, I'm Noah Brooks and I at least want an apology from him! It’s the least he can do!! I lost 3 friends of mine because of his stupid Plan.” Everyone joined his voice and at that moment. Vikram laughed loudly, A girl walked into that shop and hit vikram on the head, and said, “ Don’t act like a bad guy, you sacrificed enough for us.” That girl turned towards everyone and said, “ That plan of using human shields was my plan and it was because I wanted to save vikram. I’m sorry, I'm sorry for that.” She kneeled and cried out, “Sorry.” And that girl was Casey.

That guy from the crowd went near Casey and lifted her, “It's enough.” He turned towards vikram and said, “Even in obese people there is good cholesterol, so try to be good.” Everyone

turned towards That guy and were like, “WHAAT? IS THAT YOUR FORGIVENESS SPEECH!?” while a few were laughing including cris and Amulya as that odd choice of words changed the mood of the place.

Cris clapped and said so it's decided vikram will be the free person or Non- chain person. The starting end will be Mia Perez and you select the other end of the chain, these people are the ones who will lead so choose it wisely. A few people shouted, “Fizza” and others shouted “Amulya.” But fizza the girl with Bhurka personally wanted Amulya to lead them so, she said…Amulya will be the other end.

The whole time Mia Perez was sitting in the red room and the robot was just standing near the lift, Cris concluded his speech, “This game has no time limit, so let’s finish it quickly and defeat that robot. Do you guys agree with me!?” Everyone shouted, “Yeah! Sir.”

Everyone went inside the red room one by one everyone hold their hand and was ready to go out while Vikram’s hands were untied and he closes the shutter.

Amulya get out of the red and saw that robot was standing near the gate of the colony, she pulls Fizza’s hand which she was holding, and ran after the robot rashly but not everyone was fast enough, the chain broke, and everyone rushed inside the red room quickly as the robot came running towards them as the chain was broken. It went on for 1 hour they weren’t able to walk properly holding their hands.

But slowly they got the rhythm, so they try to slowly go near that robot, till now the robot didn’t even run…They went slowly but steadily toward the robot.

Now they were 10 meters away from the robot and 50 meters away from the red room, they slowly went near the robot but suddenly Amulya began to run to catch the robot, she was about the touch the robot and that robot began to run but suddenly a guy shouts the chain is broken. When that guy shouts that everyone runs towards the red room and the robot tries to catch Amulya but she ducks the robot and runs from the other side, she barely escapes and goes inside the red room.

Amulya shouts, “Ohhhhhhh!! We were so close.” But then Ae cha goes and Apologizes to Amulya as she wasn’t able to handle the sudden jerk she felt when they shifted gears.

At this point, it was around 2:30 pm and everyone felt hungry, suddenly they get a nice smell from the shop which was 20 meters away. Everyone agrees to go there, but they are still holding their hands, if they don’t hold them they would get caught by the robot.

They opened the shutter and they saw vikram cooking chicken biryani in a big dish, it was enough for everyone to eat. Everyone sat on the ground but they couldn’t eat with their hands catching each other. In that, few people refused to eat Vikram’s food. He didn’t say anything, he just took a plate and kept that hot food on that plate, and began to feed Casey and Rohit with his own hands. When vikram fed Casey with his hand, she tear up and little…They were more like tears of joy.

Amulya and fizza and others asked Vikram to feed them. Vikram looked at them and didn’t say anything but then he got a few banana leafs cleaned them with water and Kept some biryani, a few chilly chicken pieces, curd, and water. Besides that, he kept a small bowl with a sweet. Everyone’s mouth was watering but they were able to eat it as they were holding hands.

Noah Brooks the fat guy who asked vikram to say sorry, asks vikram, “Bro Im hungry can you feed me some?”…Vikram smiles and feeds him. Slowly everyone forms a circle and vikram feeds everyone.

While vikram was feeding Ice cream. A guy asks, “Who was the one who told us the chain was broken, that guy saved our asses!! Noah says, “Ohh…It was me, man!” That guy says, “ Ohh…you fat guy…I mean Healthy Guy thanks a lot man…You saved us.”

Noah replied to him, “It's fine man…I preferred to be called Fat. Not being passive-aggressive but I love being called fat Currently Im 131kgs I want to reach 200.”

Everyone was shocked, they were teasing him by calling him fatso and fatty, while he was smiling and feeling proud.

Noah began to tell, “Actually I’m so fat, when I was swimming in the ocean a helicopter landed on me.”

Few began to laugh.

He continued saying, “I'm so fat, A car made a complete revolve around me and it ran out of gas.”

Now everyone began to like him and they had such a great laugh.

Noah continued saying, “I have more fat jokes and as I’m fat I can do them!! That’s a great thing about being fat.”

Everyone stopped laughing but then Cris asked Naoh, “Yeah…Bro your funny. God, I didn’t laugh this much in a while. But is there any reason why you preferred to be called fat or something, can you tell me the day you were looping or how you broke out of it?”

Noah said, “Oh it’s a long story, I usually don’t tell about it but I feel very comfortable with you guys so…Let me Introduce myself. I’m Noah Brooks, I discontinued in 11th grade, Im was born on May 6th, 2003, Im goal is to become 200 kilos and I don’t want to lose weight. I'm a Christian”

Everyone said, “Why do you want to gain weight it's such a foolish thing…Few laughed”

Noah continued saying, “ Hahaha…Yeah right. To tell you about my loop, I need to tell you about 2021. In 2021, My parents went missing, We were a poor family with less money, We were a small family with 4 members, me, my dad, my mom, and my big brother. When my parents went missing, my brother also lost his job in the hotel he uses to work. As we were the only Christians around there and we use to live in a society surrounded by Hindus. We only had food left only for 2 weeks. Two weeks have passed and no one food was left. I was craving for some beef, I forced my brother to get some beef.

That was my mistake, we were already hated in society for some cast stuff but then one day gangs surrounded my brother and caught him taking beef home, and they threw stones at him. Since then, whenever any of us went out they use to throw stones at us, even the police didn’t interfere even though they saw people doing stuff like this. Another 2 weeks have passed. We had nothing to eat, I lost 15 kilos my brother also looked at things, that day I fell unconscious and when I woke up I saw food on my plate, it looked like beef chops and I didn’t think anything and ate all those 2 plates. I saved some for my brother, I thought he was sleeping, I looked in the kitchen and that floor was filled with blood, I was shocked to see what happened next, I saw my brother with his 1 hand and leg cut off. Then I realized THAT HE COOKED HIMSELF FOR ME. He was still alive, I tried to take him to the hospital, but everyone stoned him to death…That day I ran away with my brother’s body and went to a farm, buried him with my hands and since then I did everything to survive. And the last thing he told me was to eat well.

So now I will become so fat that I need to take 2 tickets to sit for a movie.”
