My female friend Scarlet and I had been standing near an ATM booth, which had been adjacent to our school's first campus.

We were extortionately busy surfing our mobile phones, for we had to exchange class recordings of our A2* Physics, which had been taken by Adrian Bhaiya*.

Scarlet had been facing me, and out of nowhere,a young lady came up to us: letting out a slight grab on Scarlet's arm, saying,

"কেমন আছেন ভাবী */bhabi *?" (How are you, ma'am?)

With Scarlet's back facing her,as the lady turned to see her face, she went numb with embarrassment!

This is because Scarlet had been a stranger to her!

Oh shoot!  😂😂😂😂

After realising her mistake, she immediately apologized,

"Oh sorry!"

letting out a faint smile.

Scarlet remained puzzled, and I replied to the lady with an assuring smile, as to everything had been okay!

As soon as the lady left, I looked at Scarlet and said, "Lol" in a gentle tone,
to which Scarlet let out a confusing reply,

"এটা কি ছিলো ?" (What was that ?)

Did you ever face a stranger like that?
