A Novella

Location: A small flower market near the Fancy Bazaar.Two University students were buying flowers (one girl and a boy).

"Hey,I am assigning you a work. It’s up to u when you complete it. Perhaps when we will grow old."

"What is that?"

"Write a novella!"

"What?"

"Yeah!"

"Ok, what would be the plot?"

"Write that we always come to buy flowers. But I don't like to be seen by my fellow hostelmates.That is why I always used to scold you for buying these flowers."

"Ok, then?"

"Now at this moment use your imagination."

"What?"

"Yeah."

"No, no, no, I will tell you what you will write."

"Ok."

"The story would be like this 'after a few days we started liking each other. I proposed you. We started seeing each other. But after three years we broke off due to some reasons'."

"Oh, and that would be the end of the story?"

"Oh,yeah."

"You use your ideas also. I have given you the main story.Use some other characters and write a good novella.I am assigning you the work."

(The girl gave slightest attention to it. Then the boy again started.)

"Oh, you have to write another one."

"What?"

"And in the second one start with the ending of the first one. Start with that after your first novella got published we again met in your book release function and we got married."

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

(And he kept going on and on about the second novella. The girl sighed 'uh, what a problem!')
