Tamanna's PoV :

As soon as I unlocked the house door with my personal spare key, I heard Sha ask from the kitchen, ''Tammy? Is that you?''

''Yeah, Sha'', I answered while keeping the scooter key in it's assigned place. ''What are you cooking?'', I enquired entering the kitchen & leaning on the counter.

''Dad's favourite Pineapple Sandesh. I thought cooking his most savoured Bengali sweet is the best way to make up to him for the morning thing'', she replied with a smile.

''How thoughtful of you, Sha. Make some for me too. I can't wait to hog it!'', I said with an already watering mouth.

Believe me when I say Trisha is an excellent cook. Probably she adds pixie dust of taste as her secret ingredient. I am of the opinion that she deserves to be on the Master chef contest!

''But if you want to even taste a bit of it, you'll have to lend me your laptop to work on my school project.'' Here she goes again with her never ending demands.

''Can't you do anything for me without asking for return gifts?'', I questioned raising an eyebrow.

''You know my answer, Tamanna!'', she answered mocking Dad & chuckled.

I let out a sigh in surrender. ''I'll do it right away'', I said & headed towards my bedroom.

After I booted my laptop, I realized that I hadn't logged out from my facebook account in a hurry of going to the garage this morning. Scanning through the notifications before handing over my laptop to Trisha, I found a friend request from a certain Aryamann Rathore.

I didn't know anybody of that name, so I decided upon clicking the 'Not now' option, when suddenly my eyes landed on his profile picture. It contained just plain text - Hail bollywood! Yeah, you got it right. It can be none other than Mr X!

I messaged him immediately & here's how our conversation went-

Me: Congratulations! You won the challenge! 20 minutes..Pretty fast

Mr X: It barely took me 10 minutes! ;)

Me: Yeah keep blabbing..

Mr X: You never have to worry if what I say is true..Girl I've been looking for you and when I saw you I knew that I finally found, I finally found you :D

Me: If Enrique Iglesias ever heard you singing his song so badly, he'd quit his profession! Spare his career please..

Mr X: I know you love my voice..you just won't admit it! Don't worry, I'll U factor :)

Me: Dream on.. Don't give yourself so much importance! & what's U factor? I've only heard of X factor

Mr X: U factor means Understanding factor... I'll understand without you saying it

Me: You & your terminology!! BTW how did you find my profile?

Mr X: It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot's brain to think of looking in the Woodpeckers' friend list, honey.. :P Be tech-savvy!

Me: Stupid girl, I should have known.. Anyways, smart move!

Mr X: This is only a prototype of my smartness.. Just wait & watch ;)
