{THE PAST}

THE SAME DAY:-

It was around 8:30 pm, Sanchi was having dinner with her family (her mother Swati and her brother Siddharth) but she was barely eating anything and her eyes kept darting towards her phone.
Swati - "Sanchi you have barely eaten anything. What happened?"

Sanchi - "Nothing mumma, I am just not hungry."

Swati - "Sanchi, stop looking at your phone and focus on your food or else I will take your phone for today."

Sanchi - "Sorry mumma. See I am eating."

Siddharth (sighing) - "Kids these days can't live without their mobile phones."
Sanchi smacked his head saying, "As if you are an old saint."
Swati silenced them saying, "If you people have so much energy then do the dishes after dinner."
Both Sanchi and Siddharth went silent indicating they don't have any energy left and after finishing their food, quietly returned to their respective room.
Having no mood to sleep Sanchi opened her books and started doing her work. After around 2 hours she got stuck in one of the maths problem so she turned on her mobile network to find the solution. After jotting down the solution she was going to turn off the internet but her hands hovered over Atharv's profile debating whether to text him or not. Just as she was thinking what to do his text came.
Atharv :
Hey
Sanchi :
Hi
Atharv :
Not sleepy?
Sanchi :
No
Atharv :
So what are you doing?

Sanchi :
Was completing my assignment.

Atharv :
Oh! Study then.

Sanchi :
I am almost done. Actually, I am completely done with the assignment I was doing and I am not going to start another one.

Atharv :
Oo
Sanchi :
Hmm

Sanchi :
What are you doing?

Atharv :
Can I call?

Atharv :
Sanchi ?

Sanchi :
Yes.

Atharv calling...
Sanchi accepts the call.

Sanchi :
Hi


Atharv :
Hi

Sanchi :
So what are you doing? It's past 11.


Atharv :
Talking to you.

Sanchi :
Very funny. Was I suppose to laugh?

Atharv :
Why are you talking in such low voice?

Sanchi :
Because it's past 11 and I don't want anyone to find out I am talking to you. Or else I am doomed.
