He decided to buy a PC, keyboard, mouse and computer monitor separately and just connect them when they arrive at his place.

He wanted to assemble a gaming PC for himself but thinking how he could transfer more money next month he decided to wait for a few weeks. He went on Amazon. He decided to use Amazon because he knew eBay was just filled with used goods and drop shoppers.

On Amazon, he first of all filled his current address and started looking for stuff. He looked for computer tables and ordered a Techni mobili complete workstation computer desk. It was a chocolate colored desk. It also had some cabinets to put stuff.

It was $175 and the shipping was free. He ordered it after entering his debit card information. ( Author's Notes -Weeb guy/girl #cant_know_your_gender_from_that_name , well I am using the money in US dollars from now on but the current exchange rate is about 105 for 1 dollars but I am just gonna use 100 NRs as 1$. Just for the sake of my convenience. Sorry I am too bored to convert the amount I use everyone but using 100 makes it easy for me. )

He went ahead and searched for good PC that fit his requirements. He bought a CYBERPOWER PC with Intel icore7 , 4.0 GHz CPU, 32GB DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA GTX980 4GB GPU, 2TB HDD, 256GB SDD with a windows 10 installed and a liquid cooling system. The CPU unit had aesthetic design, it was of mixed colour of black and red. It was of $6590. It seemed like he was paying a lot but he felt like it would take more time to assemble the computer by buying one as he had never done so.

He immediately ordered it and it was a product which offered free shipping too. It would take another 4 days for the CPU to arrive. He also looked for mouse, keyboards and headphones.

He ordered a ASUS MG279Q monitor. It had a 27-inch screen size and resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. It was $385. He also ordered a Razor Deathadder Elite mouse for $55 on Amazon. He ordered a HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard. He also ordered a steel series 61463 Artics 7 lag-free wireless headset for $150.

All of these were going to arrive at his place after 3-4 days. After placing his orders, he went to his room and laid on his bed. He started reading novels.

After a while, he noticed that supriya had just returned. When they moved here, they had moved a few utensils but there were still some more needed. Supriya had bought some supplies and a few utensils.

He rembered that he hadn't told her about Pallavi. Supriya was like one of his best friends and they usually shared stuff happening in their lives.

" Oiee, help me out with these stuff. ", Supriya called out to Shuvam.

" OK. " he went ahead and picked up few bags from her hands and proceeded to the kitchen.

" Didi, I have to tell you something. "

" Shoot. "

" I got a girlfriend. "

" What ? You got a girlfriend ? " she was worried that some gold digger had found about him having money and was with him for his money.

" Yea. And I know what you are thinking but she doesn't know I have this much money. She found out that after we started dating. "

" Oh. Do you like her ? "

" I love her. ",he said with a firm tone.

" Damn. My cousin found someone to love. Woo-hoo. This calls for a party. Go get some veers from some where near and some meat and tofu dishes. "

" OK, boss. "

" He had about $20 dollars remaining from the money he withdrew at the shopping mall. "

He thought it would be more than enough to buy the stuff he needed. He went to the nearby stores. The beer was $3 a bottle. He bought 3 bottles, 2 for him and one for Supriya. He went to street food stall and bought meat skewers, veggie and tofu skewers. He also roasted meat. He used up rest of the $9 to buy the skewers and roasted meat. He bought a 1 litre bottle of Coca Cola for $2.

He came back with the beer and food which was their dinner for today. They sat together and started talking. Supriya was going on and on about how she didn't like her current job and would be quitting soon to attend her master's studies. She had gotten drunk. After she finished having eaten her fill. She went to her bedroom and went to sleep.

Shuvam was still having food. There was a bit leftover of the veggie skewers, roasted meat and half a bottle of the beer. He was slowly eating his food and drinking the chilled beer when he got a call. It was from Pallavi. He had a smile on his face as he used his messy hands to pick up the phone.

" Didn't you miss me ? ",she said.

" Yeah, I did. How about you ? "

" Liar !! You didn't even call me once yet you have the guts to tell me you missed me. "

" Umm.. I missed you. " ,he said. He didn't actually like to talk over phones with anyone.

" Yeah, Yeah. I bet you found some other girls already. "

" No… I would never do that. I love you. Only you. ",he said hurriedly.

" hehe.. I know that. I love you too.. ",she said. She knew that he was just shy and didn't talk much except for the times it was necessary. He had told her that he didn't speak much but liked to listen to her. She was about to tell him about her day when he asked, " who is Aaditya ? Do you know him ? "

Pallavi's expression turned sour when that guy was mentioned. " That guy is an idiot. He has been pursuing me since grade 10. He just doesn't get it when to quit. " She guessed that Aaditya had done something or said something to Shuvam. She was worried if this would make Shuvam angry at her.

" From now on… Don't talk to him. Okay? "

" Okay. I don't talk to him anyways. He is the one who has been constantly pestering me. "

" Don't talk much with guys anymore. I don't like it. You're really cheerful and all. I don't want others to have any funny ideas about you. ",he said with a somewhat high voice.

" Okay, my love. " Pallavi was all smiles when she heard this. ' He is getting jealous. He is getting jealous. ',she thought. The only thing she wished right now was to see his expression. She was really happy with his possessive attitude.

" That's good. "

" Umm. You know I told you that I would be coming later , right? "

"Yeah. "

" Well I am leaving tomorrow. I made some excuses like looking for my ideal college and various courses that would help me with the entrance exams. I can't wait to meet you. The bus leaves at 3:30 PM. I am coming alone. I have a cousin there. I will be living with him. "

" A guy ? "

Pallavi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was getting jealous of her relative. " He's like my brother. Damn it, you possessive beast. ", she said with an unsatisfied tone.

" Do you hate me now ? Sorry I already told you that I was a bit possessive and have low EQ. Sorry "

' This guy.. Why is he acting so cute for ? ',he thought.

" I don't hate you, you idiot. I…I love you. I don't really hate that. "

" Hate what ? "

" Your possessive nature. "

Shuvam was all smiles when he heard this. Even if she said she didn't like this. He would still be like this. After all, she was his girl. Only he was allowed to watch her smile hear her laugh. He didn't want other guys to look at her. Not even her cousin.

" How about I come fetch you ? Yes, I will come fetch you. You get on the bus but get off at Dhangadi and come to the airport. "

" What are you spouting ? Dad will kill me if he finds out. "

" He won't find out. Is your cousin close enough to you that you can tell him about our relationship ? "

" Yeah, didn't I just tell you that he was like a brother to me ? "

" Tell him that I will be picking you up from the bus park the day after and tell him about us. " Shuvam was feeling ecstatic about him going to pick Pallavi up.

" Do we really have to do this ? I mean it is just a day. Can't you wait a day more. " she didn't want to lie to her cousin but a night over at Shuvam's place was also a offer she couldn't reject.

" Nop. No way. Now be a good girl and listen to me, your hubby. "

" Whatever. I will call you when I reach Dhangadi. " she hanged up after saying that.

" I didn't even get to ask her about her day. "

He put down his phone and started eating his dinner with happy expression. He was ecstatic about Pallavi sleeping over at his place.
