Hey Guys !!

I seriously don't know what to do now. Not even a single interaction ! No comments , no votes.....

Is this story really bad ? If yes then let me know what changes I can make to make it good. 

I'm a first time writer and I'm not sure where and what is going wrong here. I'm trying my level best to make this story good. I guess I've failed in that. 

For a first time writer the little things matter a lot. The votes and comments boost their energy. It builds their confidence. It really does. I'm seeing that many of you read but don't vote or comment. It's really making me sad. 

I'm really grateful for all the views till now. It really makes me happy but seeing you guys not interacting feels like this is not reaching your heart ! Atleast let me know something. It's request !!

"Shivi , what happened ? Why did you stop ?" he asked with concern.

"I can't do this. All are sitting there only. How will I face them ?" She asked nervously.

"I told you na, it's okay. No one will say anything. Trust me" He said holding her hands.

She just nodded and started walking. They both came downstairs. Gayathri noticed both of them and -

"You guys came , come sit here" she said pointing towards the couch. They both sat down.
