When Samira buys a secondhand car, she feels proud of her independent decision. However, the next morning, she receives a strange call from the previous owner, Ben. He urgently requests to retrieve something “alive” left under the car seat.
Curious and slightly uneasy, Samira agrees to meet Ben at a nearby park. When he arrives, he nervously retrieves a small box with air holes, revealing its contents—a batch of live insects meant to feed his brother’s pet gecko. Ben apologizes, explaining that he forgot the box when he dropped off the car.
Relieved and amused by the mix-up, Samira laughs at the situation, and Ben offers to treat her to coffee as an apology. They bond over the incident, leading to an unexpected friendship. Samira realizes that sometimes, life offers spontaneous moments—like meeting someone over a box of bugs—that can turn into delightful surprises.
Ben’s apology for the “bug thing” ends with them heading to a car wash, followed by coffee, sealing the start of an unexpected connection.
