I sat in front of my computer, my fingers still hovering over the keys. I had just hit 'enter' to run the app for its test run, my heart pounding in my chest as I waited for it to load. I had spent sleepless nights, a year'sworth of passion in coding this AI chatbot app, pouring all of my time and energy into it. But it wasn't just any app to me. It was my baby, it was my chance to finally win over the girl of my dreams - Riri, she stolen my heart one year back in college, when she was having some problems with her codes.
I picked up my phone, dialing my best friend, Jimin. "Dude, it's done! The app is finished!" I practically shouted into the receiver.
"Finally! I thought I'd be growing old and gray while you were still coding. What's the name?"
"'Dreamy', get it? Cause she's my dream girl" I grinned, remembering the first time we meet."
Jimin chuckled, "That's cheesy, even for you, but I get it. So, how's the plan going? You got the proposal all planned out?"
"Of course, I'm a pro!" I bragged, feeling a surge of nervous confidence. "It's all in the app. When she'll talk to the bot, I'll tell her that I have unlocked a special feature of the app for her, and when she clicks on that icon, the entire screen will light up with a message: "'Riri, will you be my girlfriend?'"
"And then you'll get down on one knee with a bouquet, right?" Jimin joked.
"Well, I wasn't planning on that, but I'll keep it in mind," I said, a touch of hesitation creeping into my voice.
With a few clicks, I sent her a text, my heart hammering in my chest. "Hey Riri, I made something. It's a surprise. Download this link and check it out!"
I waited, my phone clutched in my hand, my eyes glued to the screen. Anticipation twisted in my stomach. Finally, I saw a notification pop up. Riri had downloaded the app. My heart leaped.
A few moments later, A notification flashed on my phone from that app.

Riri3000 "Wow! This is so amazing!"
My heart soared. She loved it. She was excited.
Bot "Hehe thanks..."
Riri3000 But..will you alone talk with every user here?
Riri3000 "Won't that be difficult to handle?"
Bot "Haha, yeah, it would be. Don't worry, I'm only doing it now because it's you. Later on, I'll connect the AI to reply to users."
Riri3000 "Oh, that's a relief. I was worried you were going to burn yourself out."
Bot "Hehe.."
I almost forgot about the proposal. I clicked and send her my next message.
Bot "I opened a special feature for you, check that one out."
My stomach did a nervous flip. I waited, my breath held, for her reply.
