Aadhira Kapoor, 13 years old, falls in love with Nithiv Thakare at first sight, not knowing his true nature. He is a tough man, a red flag, and the one who turns her world upside down. The fire she burned herself for. They met at...
"Did you choose to unfollow him solely because he did not reciprocate the follow?" Rhea inquired, her amusement evident.
I responded without delay."Why would I continue to follow him if he did not follow back? It would reflect a degree of desperation on my part. I do not regret unfollowing him; however, I found myself somewhat curious about his profile picture," I stated.
"As you wish," she replied, still laughing."What is amusing in this exchange? Am I unintentionally making a joke?" I questioned, feeling a hint of frustration."Not at all. I simply meant that both of you exhibit similar traits, being somewhat egotistical and possessing strong personalities," she clarified.
"Goodness, Rhea! What is the matter? Why do you consistently seek commonalities between us?" I inquired."You find it enjoyable as well, do you not?" she chuckled in response.
"I would appreciate it if you would refrain from such comments," I said, attempting to adopt a lighthearted tone while feeling slightly embarrassed. She laughed again.

The other day, during my online mathematics class, my mother summoned me from the kitchen. Upon hearing her call, I promptly responded, "Yes, Mother," and made my way to the kitchen. Upon arrival, I observed her struggling to open a cardboard box that contained heavy items.
I asked, "What seems to be the problem?"
"This box contains several photo frames and glass items," she explained. "I have been attempting to open it for some time, but it appears to be stuck." I took the box from her and examined it. It was a large, heavy box, and it was apparent that she had been having difficulty with it. I attempted to pry it open, but the tape proved too strong.
"I will need to retrieve a knife or an appropriate tool," I informed her. "I will be right back."
I went to the living room, located a cutter in a drawer, and returned to the kitchen to carefully cut the tape. After a few moments, I successfully opened the box. "Thank you for your assistance, dear," my mother expressed her gratitude. "I appreciate your help." I smiled in response. "You are welcome, Mother."
Upon returning to my room, I redirected my attention to my class. During the lockdown prompted by the coronavirus outbreak, I was required to remain at home. This period was challenging; however, I managed to navigate it with the support of my family and friends. The most difficult aspect was coping with the sudden increase in free time. I allocated some of that time to academic work, but I also made time for hobbies and virtual interactions with my friends, despite the challenges of not being able to engage in person.
I found myself reminiscing about those days and hoping we would not have to endure such circumstances again. It is distressing to consider the numerous loved ones we lost to the virus. In our family alone, we suffered the loss of three individuals. My thoughts and condolences go out to everyone who has experienced a similar loss during the pandemic. The impact of the coronavirus was indeed an unforeseen and significant alteration in the lives of many.
