Perry is receiving expensive gifts from an unknown person. She has no idea about this unknown identity. She thinks someone is stalking her and knows almost everything about her. The situation goes out of control when this stranger brings up somethin...
"Perry! There's a parcel for you", I hear my mum calling from downstairs.
It was 9:00 am on a Sunday morning and I was being a sleepy head as usual. I really need to stop staying up till four in the morning, overthinking and doing absolutely nothing.
I get up and walk down the stairs with heavy eyes wishing that I could sleep all day. I sign the slip, take the parcel from the delivery man at the door and place it on the table in our living room before heading towards the kitchen.
Mum hands me a cup of coffee saying, "I won't be home today. I need to visit your aunt. She recently had a major surgery. If you get bored, you can tell Tracey to come over, okay?"
I nod and bid her goodbye before grabbing the parcel and running up the stairs, to my room.
This is getting really creepy now. I had no idea who is sending me these packages but this is the 3rd time in a row.
The first one I received was two weeks ago. It contained a very expensive perfume set- atelier cologne!

My mum probably thinks I have been ordering stuffs from Amazon, which is absolutely not true!
The second parcel contained a pearl jewellery set.

I tried to find out if the packages were really meant for me or if there had been some mistake in the delivery process. But all I learnt was, these were indeed meant for me. Although I have no information about the sender, I have been trying my best to find out.
I start to unbox the package just when my phone rings. It is Tracey. My Soul-Sister and Bestie. She lives downstairs.
"Hey Trace!" I say.
"Perry! Is your assignment done?" Tracey sounds tensed.
"Yeah, it's almost done, just left with a couple of finishing touches." I say.
"Bro! I have been working on my presentation for 2 days and just a while ago I accidentally deleted the entire thing! It contained 15 slides!", she almost sobs.
"Oh my god! Okay calm down, why don't you come over to my place now and we can redo it together, get your laptop and other important stuffs and come over." I say before hanging up.
I get my own laptop and open up my presentation forgetting about the parcel lying on one corner of my bed. I hear the doorbell ring and jump off my bed to get the door.
"Another one?!" Tracey exclaims as soon as she enters my bedroom.
Oh! The parcel. Tracey is the only person with whom I had shared this entire mysterious delivery incident.
"Yes! It arrived today morning." I say.
We sit on the bed and Tracey starts unboxing the rest of the package.
"What I've noticed is that your secret admirer sends you expensive gifts every Sunday."
My eyes were on the laptop screen, as I was concentrating on the presentation when suddenly Tracey held out her hand in front of me holding a beige pink Polaroid camera. I startled!
"What the actual fuck!" I shouted throwing the laptop on the bed.

Tracey grins, "Your secret admirer is legit rich!"
I was not okay with what was happening. Receiving expensive gifts from a complete stranger was really creepy.
"It's not funny Tracey. I'm scared. How come this person knows about all my desires?" I exclaim!
She looks confused and asks, "What do you mean by 'desires'?"
"Tracey this Polaroid camera, the pearl jewellery set and that cologne. I have always wanted to buy these. Infact I have been saving money for these." I say.
"Okay so this person is some kind of a stalker. Maybe you posted about these on your social media and from there he got the idea. Simple right?"
"How are you so sure it's a 'he'?" I ask frowning.
"Generic guess or slip of tongue, now can you please stop overthinking and help me?" She says.
I nod. Over the next 2 hours we proceeded to complete a literal 48 hour presentation. By the end of it I felt like I deserved a Nobel Prize in completing presentations.
My mum had called a while back to inform us that she won't be returning tonight so I had asked Tracey to stay over, for the night. She had agreed.
It is 3 am and I just can't stop myself from thinking about the deliveries as usual. For the last two weeks these thoughts have been keeping me awake every single night. Who is this person? Is it someone from my college? That seems plausible. It's also just been two weeks since I have begun with my first year in college. I was feeling very tired and unable to take any more stress, I tried to sleep with the hopes of finding out the identity of this secret admirer as soon as possible.
Hey there! I can't imagine I am doing this. It's probably the last possible thing I would have ever done. This is the first time am writing something. I think am really good at imaginations, there's nearly hundreds of plots going all around my head everyday. So I thought of sharing some with you. Hope you guys are going to like it!
