"Operation Busted Boo"

Meet Tanya. Tanya had the instincts of a cat, the sass of a drag queen, and the detective skills of someone who watches way too much CSI: Miami. One fine Sunday morning, she was sipping her iced coffee when she saw it. Her boyfriend, Raj, casually walking into the apartment complex across the street… the same building where his “oh-she’s-just-a-friend” crush, Neha, lived.

Tanya blinked once. Twice. Sipped her coffee like it was tea and she was British royalty about to spill some.

"Oh. So that's how we're playing today?" she whispered to no one.

She slapped on her shades, threw on an oversized hoodie, and activated Operation Busted Boo. She tiptoed across the street with the grace of a ninja and the fury of a woman scorned. She even hid behind a bush—next to a grandma watering plants who offered her a samosa. (Tanya took it. Spy work is hungry work.)

She watched the building door. Nothing.

Suddenly, DING! The elevator opened—and out came Raj… WITH a tub of ice cream, a pillow, and Neha in fuzzy unicorn slippers.

Tanya gasped. “Netflix AND chill ice cream? He betrayed me with dairy!”

Before she could burst out of the bush, Neha spotted her.

“Tanya? Why are you hiding in a shrub?”

Raj turned and screamed like he’d seen a ghost. “Babe?!”

“Don’t ‘babe’ me while you’re holding Neha’s Chunky Monkey!”

Turns out… Raj was just dropping off Neha's stuff because she had twisted her ankle at yoga. (She tried to do the "flying pigeon" and became a "falling flamingo".) The ice cream was a get-well gift.

Tanya, slightly embarrassed but still dramatic, stormed off... then turned back.

"Next time, you bring me Chunky Monkey too. Or you’re both getting ghosted."

Neha just blinked. “Can she still have the samosa back?”
