It was 11 am, and everyone was asleep in the house, but Maansi was still working on an important assignment.

"Phew! I am finally done ohh god this is so tiring. Time to sleep, where's my phone? What the heck it's 1 am already! " Maansi said after seeing her phone.

She went to bed but now she wasn't able to sleep. She decided to look up her phone.  "Mhmm oh this dress looks good I should get it,"  Says to herself.

*Clicks on an Amazon link*      " Oh wow it is affordable too! What is this ad. showing up? It's weird..." thinking in her head.  Confused a bit, she clicks on the link hoping maybe she'll find someone to talk to and pass the time.

They end up talking for an hour, about random things. Favorite color, food, family, etc.

...................................................................................

Maansi: You're really ...nice.

Shivansh: Aww thank you so much! You are pretty great too. Do you want to stay in touch?

Maansi: Sure! Why not?

Shivansh: So, are you on Snapchat or Telegram?

Shivansh: So are you on Instagram?

Shivansh: My ID is  _________

Maansi: Okay I'll text you.

Shivansh: Hmm, okay have a good night.

Maansi: Good night.

Maansi puts her phone aside and goes to sleep. But something felt different about him; he didn't seem like the guys she had met so far.

The next morning, the first thing she did was send Shivansh an Instagram request. After getting ready for work, she left for the day. Like every other day, she returned home at 8 pm, changed into her pajamas, and had her dinner before going to bed. When she checked her Instagram account, she was delighted to see that Shivansh had accepted her request and texted her. A gentle smile appeared on her face as if she had been eagerly waiting for his message.

Shivansh: Hello! It's me, the stranger.

Maansi: Hey, it's me too!

Shivansh: Lol, I know.

Maansi: How was your day?

Shivansh: It was good, and yours.

Maansi: Yeah just okay okayish.

Shivansh: So can I see you?

Maansi: Can I see your picture?

Shivansh: Sure if you'll send yours.

Maansi: Nope, but I want to see you.

Maansi: Please...please.

Shivansh: Okay, fine.
