Advik made sure that he sat next to her in the bus. After an hour of journey, Advik noticed her being in distress. Aliza kept on shifting and squirming on her seat.

"Aliza, what happened???"

"Hmm...Nothing...I'm good." Aliza said without looking at him and shifted a little. He gave her a look and something popped up in his mind.

"Are you turned on?" He asked surprisingly which made bewildered her.

"What??? No!!!!"

"Then why are you squirming like this? As if there is some discomfort down there?" He looked down at her lap and she placed her bag on her lap as soon as he said it. Something clicked on his mind and he turned towards her.

"You got your periods?" He saw her averting her gaze from him due to embarrassment.

"So that means you got your periods and you don't have anything with you now?" Aliza couldn't face him as he asked her questions.

"It's just a biological thing damn it. Answer me now." Getting agitated he told her.

"I suspect that...hmmm...I got my periods...and I don't have anything with me."

"Ask the other girls, they may have it."

"No, they don't have pads. I knew that..." She let him know. He didn't say anything but sat there thinking something. After a few minutes, he went to meet the professor and then talked with the driver. They stopped near a restaurant to have food.

"Go to the toilet and check if you gets your periods. Call me then and wait for me outside." He told her before getting down.

"What are you going to do?"

"If you really gets your periods, you need a pad. Now let's move." Advik found a shop and waited for her call. Aliza called and told him that she got her periods indeed. He went to the shop and asked for pads. He ion a confusion seeing different brands in different size and colour.

"Sir, which kind of pads you need? Wings or ordinary? Gel or cotton?"

"Give me the best and large one." Advik told him not knowing anything about pads. The man gave took a packet and he is about to wrap it in paper when Advik snatched that. He placed the money on the table. Advik then opened the packet and took two pads with him and left the other there. The shopkeeper and another customer who stood near Advik got baffled.

Advik saw her sitting on a chair close to the toilet. He walked towards her and placed the pads in her bag causally making sure that nobody see that. Aliza went to the toilet and came back after a few minutes. 

When she came out, Advik is sitting with his gang having something to drink. Aliza sat on the next table facing him along with some girls and ordered her food. Advik looked at her meaningfully and she smiled at him in response.

After having breakfast, they entered the bus. Advik went to talk with his friends and came back to her.

"You ok now?" He asked her.

"Yes...thanks for buying it..."

"You mean the pad?" He smirked enjoying her discomfort

"Anyway thank you." He told her.

"For what?"

"For introducing me to the world of pads..." Aliza turned red hearing it and looked down.
