Chapter 2: Shadows and Secrets

                                    

                                          
Adil: The Mastermind
Adil-foodie, muscle-bound, and the group's clandestine architect held a crucial role. His mission? Erase any trace of their underworld escapades from their friends' families and evade detection by rival forces. Being young and lacking a strong foothold in the criminal world, they couldn't afford to leave breadcrumbs. So, Adil orchestrated covert meetings, creating elaborate scenarios during private parties. His brilliance lay in changing subjects swiftly, manipulating situations to their advantage. Parents unwittingly granted their wishes, blissfully unaware of their initial objections. Adil was, indeed, a master of words.
Adam: Trouble and Tech Wizardry
Adam, the perpetual mischief-maker, matched Bhoomi's mathematical prowess. While he excelled at causing chaos, he also ranked alongside her in academics. Both he and Adil maintained a low profile, strategically staying within the top ten of their level. But Adam's true talent lay in hacking. He gathered information, cross-checked data from their sources, and ensured their covert activities remained unnoticed. Their underworld endeavors began subtly, like ripples on a calm pond. Yet, if anyone looked closely, they'd see the truth. Bhoomi's wisdom guided them: "Start with baby steps; sprint later." They exploited this anonymity until circumstances favored them.
Now, gathered at Adil's place his family preoccupied with an ongoing energy crisis and crude oil price hikes the group prepared for their next move. Adam scrutinized data, Eli cooked in the kitchen, and Rosy checked if Adil and Adam had finished their schoolwork. Meanwhile, Bhoomi, under her alias "KALKI," arranged song stanzas. When Adil playfully asked about KALKI's latest creation, her friends gathered around. Bhoomi's smile held secrets the song was a gift for her father's upcoming birthday. And what a gift it was! KALKI's songs had become a sensation, beloved by fans of all ages.
Rosy voiced the unspoken question: Did Bhoomi's father know the song was his daughter's gift? Bhoomi dismissed it just one of many surprises. Adam, ever candid, challenged her: Did she grasp the worth of her KALKI alias? Bhoomi's reply was confident: She was the daughter of VISHNUDINA GROUP OF INDUSTRIES a conglomerate with deep pockets. Adam, though, playfully doubted her wealth, claiming oceans might dry up before her money ran out. As Adam and Adil bickered, the girls watched, amused. These friends, with their hidden talents and shared secrets, were bound by more than mere friendship they were a force to be reckoned with.
