"THA GEY PANTS HAADHA CUTE EYY"

Maldives Monetary Authority

Aiky and her team stand outside a filthy, rundown house in the Galolhu area, the air thick with tension. Shaifoolhu, one of the officers, speaks calmly with his colleagues as they secure the culprit, handcuffing him and leading him to the police jeep. But Aiky is furious. Her eyes blaze with anger as she surveys the scene. The atmosphere feels heavy.

ITS ANOTHER MURDER!!! not a human death this time, but Aiky's beloved cat, Zaha. The culprit? A low-class Bengali man, overweight and scruffy, who had been killing cats in the area to use their meat for burgers and submarines sold at local shops under the guise of chicken meat. Aiky glares at the man as he's shoved into the jeep, her mind already spinning with frustration and grief.
...
Meanwhile, Shaii and Shiny are huddled together at college, deep in discussion about who could be the shadowy culprit behind the recent murders. Suddenly, Pop startles them from behind, shouting, "Boo hoo suaib!" Shaii jumps, irritation flashing across her face. "Pop, you know how I don't like you being such a brat!" she snaps, clearly annoyed. But Pop just grins, telling her to "chillax" before pulling out the shiny new YSL bag which she had received earlier from bible as a gift. "I can't believe Bible bought this for me. I know I'm hot, but he didn't have to do this much for me!" she gushes, as happy as a dog with two tails. Shiny and Shaii exchange glances as Pop continues to flaunt her new gift, clearly enjoying the attention.

It's time for Economics class, and Pop and Shaii head to A4-17, waving goodbye to Shiny. They're already 15 minutes late, but since it's Minna Miss's class, they're not too worried. Minna Miss is known for being a laid-back teacher. However, when they walk into the room, they find a small crowd gathered around Lamb's seat. It turns out, Lamb accidentally got cut on his hand by Raaidh's cutter. Raaidh, always so nervous, had been startled when Lamb tried to pass him a tutorial sheet, and in his panic, the cutter slipped and cut Lamb. "Are you even aware of your surroundings?" Lamb shouts, frustration lacing his voice as Raaidh bows repeatedly, apologizing like a Japanese person. The lecturers—Athhar Sir, Minna Miss, and Rihulaa Miss were called, and Rihula Miss quickly brought out the first aid kit.

After the commotion dies down and the class settles in, Bible walks over to Raaidh, tapping him on the shoulder. Raaidh jumps again, but Bible just gives him a stern look, saying, "That's not really cool, man." With that, the class resumes, and everyone finally focuses on the lecture.

After the weekend:

The week of the MMA tour has arrived, where all the students head to the MMA building to learn about the economics of Maldives. The group includes Shaii, her friends, Lamb, Aik, Gofi, and many others—though some, like Bible, are absent. Athhar sir took responsibility to guide all students as rihulaa miss and minna miss had gotten busy and could not make it. Aik sits between Gofi and Lamb, his left hand holding Gofi's and his right holding Lamb's, as Lamb remains blissfully unaware of Aik and Gofi's secret relationship. He simply thinks they're close friends from Dhiffushi. Shaii, Pop, Shiny, and G-Learn form another group, seated together as the lesson begins.

An hour into the presentation, they're given a break, and everyone rushes to the back of the room where refreshments are laid out. Only one meal remains, and it's between Shaii and Lamb. Both hesitate, insisting the other take it.

"You should have it," Lamb says, gently pushing the tray toward her. "You've been here longer."

Shaii shakes her head with a soft smile. "No, you should take it. You look like you could use it more."

Before either can insist further, Athhar Sir approaches and notices the dilemma. "Why don't you two share it? It's not much, but it's enough for both of you." With a nod, he gently urges them to sit and eat before the break ends.

They find two seats at the very back of the room, away from the groups, and settle in to share the meal. Shaii's heart skips a beat as she notices how close they are, the noise of the others fading into the background. Lamb splits the meal in half and hands her a fork, their fingers brushing briefly.

"Looks like we're in this together," Lamb says with a small smile, trying to lighten the mood.

Shaii chuckles softly. "Yeah, guess so. It's kind of nice, actually."

As they eat, they fall into a comfortable silence, their closeness adding a warmth to the moment that neither can ignore. Lamb's occasional glances at her don't go unnoticed, and each time their eyes meet, Shaii feels a flutter in her chest.

When they both reach for the last bite at the same time, their hands touch, and they pause, the air thick with unspoken feelings. Shaii quickly pulls back, her face flushing slightly.

"Sorry," she murmurs, looking away.

Lamb just smiles, his voice soft. "No need to apologize. I like sharing with you."

They finish the meal together, savoring not just the food but the quiet connection they share in that secluded spot. For Shaii, the world outside feels far away, leaving just the two of them in that fleeting, tender moment. Shaii can't help but wonder if Lamb feels the same connection, the same quiet contentment she's feeling right now.

After the break, the presentation continues, and after two more hours, the tour concludes. As everyone leaves the MMA building, a strong wind blows through as it was very windy, making G-Learn's pink abaya sway comically in the gusts. Shaii helps her hold it down, smiling at the funny sight. Nearby, Gofi and Aik share a private moment of affection, away from the crowd. But then Lamb approaches, and they quickly shift the conversation to economics. Lamb, none the wiser, believes them and tells Aik to start his bike so they can head home. As they leave, Gofi shoots a brief, annoyed look at Lamb, who remains oblivious.

.

Back at home, Shaii settles in front of the TV, ready to watch JJK on Animax. But before that, she flips to the news channel, curious if there's anything interesting. As she tunes in, a breaking news alert catches her attention—it's about another murder. The victim is none other than Raaidh, their classmate, who had been absent from the MMA tour.
..

Aiky is at the crime scene, investigating the grisly murder. The familiar signs are there—the missing toe, the strap marks. But this time, there's an additional clue. The killer left behind an MNU college card, shoved into Raaidh's mouth to muffle his screams. The card was scratched beyond recognition, but the MNU logo was still visible, linking the murder directly to the college.

With this new evidence, Aiky has no choice but to reopen the case, realizing that this isn't over. The tension builds, leaving everyone on edge as the real killer remains at large.
