When they were in their first year together, May's first opportunity to engage with her occurred during the yearly social event that they both attended. A senior woman from the Third year had the idea to direct a short play that would only be performed for the first-year students. The most apparent candidate for the role of the female lead was Sonali, and they were having auditions for the role of the male lead as well as other characters. The boys were brought up one at a time, and each one was allowed a sentence or two to speak. They were either disqualified or put on a short list for the next round of screening depending on how well they did in the previous one. Dev was successful in stealing a copy of the screenplay and then changing the lines that were intended for the leading actor flagle game. Therefore, when he was summoned, there was no need to provide him with a dialogue. He had committed them to memory, and his delivery of the lines was flawless. The rest was due to his affability and understatement. As the saying goes, the rest is history when he was cast in the role.
