Caramel and Double-Chocolate

Caramel and Double-Chocolate
Sitara, a 24-year-old woman who works at a company selling organic sanitary products, finds solace from period cramps in a late-night milkshake order. Little does she know, the delivery driver, Shaurya, a 26-year-old web developer, will become more than just the bringer of sweet treats. Their paths cross on a rooftop, sparking a connection that defies expectations and social norms. This is a story of accidental meetings, shared vulnerabilities, and the delicious, messy journey of two souls finding something 'more' in each other's company.

The warmth of the heating patch brought little relief against the persistent, sharp pangs in your lower stomach. You shifted, a groan escaping your lips, and the pain flared like a sudden shock. Sleep was clearly not an option tonight.

An intense craving for a milkshake, specifically a large Caramel Carnival with extra chocolate syrup from Shake it Off, took hold. Checking the time on your laptop, 11:34 pm blinked back, highlighting the absurdity of your desire. Twenty-four and craving a milkshake at midnight because of period cramps – it felt pathetic.

The thought of a boyfriend, someone to bring chocolates and cuddles, to kiss away the pain, flickered through your mind, quickly followed by the self-deprecating realization that such hopes were likely the result of too many K-dramas. Sitting in bed wouldn't solve anything. Slowly, painstakingly, you began to open your door, inch by micro-inch, listening for the tell-tale creak of the hinges, praying your parents wouldn't hear.
