Chapter no. 21

"You know what, we're not eating Gol gappy." Tabrez said and me and Sarah looked at him as if he's creature from another planet.

"Are you sane even?" We asked in unison.

"Yeah, Do you have anything in there!" Arsh poked his head.

Tabrez jerked away his hand.

"What the hell, man?"

"Nah, it's empty." Arsh nodded to himself.

I fought back a chuckle.

"Let's have a competition, the one who finishes his/her gol gappy first, wins." We all agreed with Bilal.

Each of us had 10 gol gappas in their plate. My mouth watered at the sight of too many Gol gappy only for me.
Back in bwp, no one let me eat too many. Even if I had this much, I had to share it with Danial or Fakhar.

What would they be doing, right now?
The thought crossed my mind.

I took a mental note to call them when I get home. Or House.

"Ready, Go!" I put one gol gappa in my mouth.

It's spicy.

My throat burned, the amount of spice they put.

Then the second one went into my mouth.

Third.

Fourth.

My eyes burnt, soon the tears came out of my eyelids.

Fifth.

I couldn't have another one.

I looked around to see Sarah having the sixth one but she also stopped after that.

Tabrez only ate three.

Haha, loser.

Bilal had the seventh in his mouth, but after that he ran to get water.

He came back, holding three water bottles. I picked up and gulped down the half of water, Sarah drank the left half.

My tongue is still burning.

My eyes went wide. Arsh and Arsal fought for real. The ninth one was inside theirs mouths.

They stared at each other, none of them picking the last gol gappa. Arsh narrowed his eyes at Arsal.

What the heck are they doing?

Arsal gave his opponent a daring smile, Arsh slowly asked.

"Ready?" Arsal nodded, smirking.

"As ever."

Then Arsal yelled, making us all flinch.

"Go!" Both of them picked the last gol gappa in their mouth, still looking at each other.

Then Arsal smiled at his best friend, crossing his arms.

"Done." He opened his mouth wide enough for us to see.

Arsh gulped and shook his hands with Arsal.

"Only because I let you, Congratulations man."

Then out of the blue he shouted.

"WATER! WATER! MY TONGUE IS ON FIRE. SOMEONE GIVE ME WATER."
Bilal reluctantly handed him water, which his finished in one gulp.

"Dude, you're drama queen." Tabrez rolled his eyes at Arsh.

"Oh yeah, I ate 7 gol gappy more then you. I'm your master, bow!"

"Yeah, Really Drama queen." He confirmed.

"So the Winner." I smiled at Arsal.

"Don't you believe what I just did?"

"I have to believe what my eyes saw. It was unbelievable if you asked. I didn't get you as the guy who could eat ten spicy gol gappas." I told him.

"Well, Never a judge a book by its cover." I nodded agreeing with him.

"Let's go guys." Sarah announced.

We went out, not before Arsh shouted the shopkeeper;

"Did you want to kill the kid. How much chilli sauce you added. What if the kid had died." We looked at him weirdly.

He pointed at Arsal.

"Him. I'm saying for him."

Arsal chuckled and shook his head.
