His Pov

I leaned back in my chair, the soft creak of the leather soothing my frayed nerves. The glow of the computer screen illuminated my face as I watched "mee" log out. Just moments before, we’d been having another lively banter. A part of me had sensed that I was crossing a line, but the thrill of pushing her buttons was too delightful to resist. I typed out a cheeky message, calling her "spineless," and in an instant, she vanished from my screen. That was my first indication that I’d messed up big time.

But even after that, I didn’t think much of it. I’d acted like a stupid jerk, sure, but I thought perhaps it was part of the game. What I didn’t anticipate was the silence that followed. As the night crept on and the darkness outside deepened, I felt a heaviness settle in my chest. I wondered, would she message me tomorrow? But she didn’t. Rather, she didn’t log in for two whole days.

The first day of her absence was like missing a puzzle piece; I felt incomplete and anxious, the ticking clock amplifying my unease. By the second day, the absence had transformed into a bone-deep anxiety that gnawed at me. I needed her for my app, for the conversations that enriched my AI's database; but beyond the necessity, I craved our exchanges. The midnight chats had morphed into a ritual.

As I reflected on my reckless comments, I slammed my hand against the desk as if hoping to etch a solution into the wood. I had to make it right. It was painfully clear, I needed her to come back.

I hastily devised a plan. My fingers danced across the keyboard as I altered my app’s framework. I had initially designed the "away message" feature to be unlocked after 500 messages had been exchanged. But here I was, breaking my own rules. Given my growing desperation and the ticking clock, I made the necessary adjustments to allow immediate notifications to be sent to users whenever they were offline.

With a steaming cup of coffee at my side, I imagined the messages I would send, each crafted to elicit a reaction from her.

The day dragged by at university. Each lecture felt like an eternity, the droning voices of my professors melding into a dull hum. I could hardly focus on my notes; all I could think about was getting back to my coding. I imagined her face scrunching up in irritation at my persistent messages, how does she looks?

Finally, evening fell, and I rushed back to the hostel, every step a countdown to salvation. I skipped eating dinner, my hunger eclipsed by an adrenaline-fueled need to fix this. I burrowed into my work until my fingers began to ache. After what felt like an eternity, I hit the "save" button, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. I had unlocked the feature!

Now, for the next part of my plan. I took a deep breath, summoned all my courage, and began to type.

I flooded her with messages in a frantic attempt to lure her back to the screen. My heart raced as I watched the seconds turn into minutes. Would she see this on her phone? Would she reply?

Sorry for being superrrrr late for update. I have my own reasons which I can't express, plus writing this one sometimes makes me a little confused comparing to the other two stories. But don't worry, I do have the story in my mind and I'll do my best to present it. I just need some time. Hope you'll understand.
