The crisp winter air of Kozhikode enveloped her as she woke up at 7 AM. She shivered, despite knowing Kerala never sees snow. Opening the upstairs window, she breathed in the chill, feeling invigorated. The sun slowly rose, casting a warm glow. After freshening up, she headed downstairs to savor her mom's – her home minister's – delicious breakfast. School uniform in place, she set off for another day.
Returning home, she hastily washed up, eager to bask in nature's beauty. But as she opened the middle window, her gaze met an unexpected sight: a boy's room. A Kozhikode City School photo caught her attention. Perplexed, she stood frozen until a tall, handsome boy entered the room. Their eyes locked, and she asked, "Who are you?"
Startled, he spun around, demanding, "What are you doing in my room's window?" She explained, and his expression transformed from shock to curiosity. "Are you from the same universe as me? Does the multiverse concept exist?" His questions flowed, but she sensed a hint of ignorance beneath his mature demeanor.
She realized, despite his handsome appearance, his intellect didn't match hers. She acknowledged her childish nature but refused to be underestimated.
