One day in their daily routine, Julie, on the way to her office, overheard a conversation between Rishit and the old lady who prepared food for him. Julie acknowledged that Rishit was not going to eat on that day. But without asking anything, she left. On the same night, Julie came home without buying dinner for herself since she worked late that night. It was already past 9.30 P.M. When Julie came out of the room after freshening up, Rishit approached Julie. Rishit asked Julie," I am hungry and have not eaten the whole day." Julie said to Rishit, " So?". Rishit answered," Can you make me something? I will pay for the meal, I promise." Julie answered ," I won't ". Rishit got upset after hearing this from Julie.Julie went to her room and thought about Rishit. After a while, she went out and gave him a paper. Rishit was confused and asked what the paper was about. Julie said, " Buy these groceries." Rishit was excited after hearing this from Julie and he also asked her "It means you are going to cook, am I right?". Julie replied," Kind of, cause I am hungry too." Rishit was all excited to hear this. He rushed to a supermarket nearby. When he arrived, it was already closing. He pleased the workers and bought whatever she had written on the list. After he had bought everything, he returned to where Julie was waiting for him. Julie cooked a simple dinner, ignoring Rishit's stupid conversation. They had their dinner in the living room. Rishit said,"Wow! Its delicious! You know what, you are wasting your money on buying food outside. Think about what I told you on the first day we met, making our own meals. Would you like to accept my offer now?" Julie, after a long time, cooked for herself. She was happy about this late night dinner. For the first time, she considered Rishit's words. She had a beautifully emerging smile at the tip of her lips on seeing the attitude of Rishit while eating. Rishit was enjoying the dinner after a month. Without noticing Julie's admiration for him, he continuously praised her for cooking and how delicious the food was. Finally, Julie accepted his plan of cooking together and sharing the total amount of groceries. And at that point, they both had a good conversation.Rishit said, Shall we be friends?" Julie changed her look suddenly, seeing that Rishit replied," I will never ask you any personal questions." Julie didn't answer anything about friendship. They completed their dinner and went back to their rooms after washing the vessels. That night Julie had not answered any of the phone calls. She had her tablets and went to bed. Rishit, on the other hand, was so happy to have his first dinner with his housemate. The next day, when Julie came out of her room, Rishit was already waiting with his apron on to cook.

Julie was happy throughout the day. At lunch, seeing Julie's happiness and unusual-made food, Jennifer asked her what had happened. Julie said that she and her husband had prepared this together by communicating over video call. Though she knew that she was lying to Jennifer, she felt happy. Rishit was also happy, like Julie. He enjoyed the meal in the afternoon and waited for the night. When Julie came back she bought special groceries to prepare their dinner. They cooked and ate together.
