After Chilly and Aaloo’s fight, Chilly was nowhere to be found. While searching for him, Aaloo reached the riverside. There, seeing Parsley swimming in the water, Aaloo got irritated. Here's what happened next…
Seeing Parsley swimming in the water, I asked him, annoyed, “Parsley, instead of looking for Chilly, what are you doing here?”
Parsley replied, “Aaloo, don’t you get it? I’m waiting here for my future best friend! Just like how you met Chilly here, I’ll find my best friend right here too!”
Honestly, I really think Parsley’s brain has got a screw loose. Everyone was tired and desperately looking for Chilly, and Parsley was dreaming about meeting his future best friend! Who does this?
Chilly’s mom told me to go home. She was confident that Chilly would return home once it got dark. She even tempted Parsley with a Chilly Shake and sent him home.

But I didn’t want to go home. My best friend had got upset and disappeared because of me. And honestly, I was starting to get really worried about Chilly.
Upon reaching home, as soon as I saw Mom, I ran to her and said, “Mom, Chilly...”
Mom said, "Don't worry, I'll make you some fresh laddus."
What was going on with everyone today? Chilly was missing. On one side, Parsley was out looking for a best friend for himself, and on the other side, Mom was talking about laddus. I snapped, “Mom! Chilly is missing and you’re talking about laddus? I’m not even hungry anymore!”
Then Mom said, “Huh? Chilly’s missing?”
“Yes, Mom! I searched the whole jungle, but couldn’t find him anywhere!”

he looked at me like I was speaking another language, and then said, “Chilly’s missing?!”
Now my frustration was through the roof. “If I knew where he was, then would I even be saying that he’s missing?”
Then Mom said, “Oh! Chilly’s right there-sleeping on your bed. He ate all your laddus. I told him, ‘Stop, your stomach’s going to burst.’ But he wouldn’t stop. He kept saying, ‘I’m going to punish Aaloo. I’ll eat all his laddus. Then he’ll understand! I’m his best friend, yet he still took Koko’s side. Let him go hungry today - then he’ll know how it feels!’ He just kept ranting and eating. I asked him, ‘Did you and Aaloo have a fight?’

“He said, ‘Aunty, I told Aaloo that our friendship is over. But as soon as I said that, Aaloo started crying. And you know me - when he cries, I feel bad. No matter how wrong he was, if he cries because of me, then how would I like that? So I have decided not to end the friendship. I’m going to eat all the laddus, and then also argue with him. Don’t stop me today!’”
He ate so many laddus that he couldn’t even get up from here. So I picked him up and put him down on your bed. And the moment I put him down — he fell asleep. It’s been an hour, and he’s snoring so loudly that your dad got annoyed and went outside.”
