Mei Wei stopped his tickling. He smiled at Aman and pinched his cheeks, "thank you, cutie pie. But what is the use of winning when I already lost my heart to you?"

Priyam and Valik, who witnessed the entire incident, were baffled after hearing this. They looked at each other. Priyam knocked on the large wooden door, "may we come in, your highness."
Hearing this, Aman and Mei Wei quickly untangle themselves. Aman replied, "yes, please enter!"
As they entered they noticed the red hue still covering Aman's cheeks and his ears. But what pleased the two friends most was the smile that was adorned on their friend's lips. The smile they desired.
"This happy look suits you the most, your highness." Valik complemented.
Aman smiled at him but asked a question, "thank you for the compliment. But tell me where did both of you disappear?"
