Matched on Tinder

Shavan or Shravan?

February 2, India

Suman was lost in her work at PCT when she got a notification. She opened the Tinder app which she had not seen since a week. Around a week ago when Mamiji and Preeti got to know she had not been active on the app, they took charge.

They made her sit in middle holding her both sides and kept on swiping pictures of boys one by one. Finally they accepted two guys.

1.Shavan

2.Shravan Malhotra

They were supporting for Shravan Malhotra because Mamiji thought he was decent looking with his "sanskari" clothing and Preeti found him cute because of his glasses. And also they thought he was their Shravan  who went to London for studies. And as this boy here was also based in London, suspicion was strong.

The other guy named Shavan was the "online fraud" type guy. He was so handsome with his soft brown eyes and well set gelled hairs. He had this charming smile that made even Mamiji look at him twice. He was also based in London but didn't mention an impressive bio. He had written a little only.

"Charmer in London.
Knows to fix your car if you're stuck.
Can fix lives with words and lawsuits.
Talk less know more.
Hate partying love hiking.
Single crunchy as Pringles."

Mamaji didn't like this boy but this was the first face Suman showed interest in so she convinced herself. The moment Suman saw this guy she gasped which didn't go unnoticed.

"You know him Di?"

"His eyes"

"What about them Suman?"

"I don't know."

And then she was silent.

And now as she reminisces that day she cursed herself. But another notification dinged to catch her attention.

She tapped the first one. The screen showed his icon with her icon. It said:

"Its a match"

She looked horrified at the screen but tapped the next notification nonetheless. It opened a chat window . There was a message.

"Hi!"

She thought for a few minutes then replied.

"Bye"

She closed the window thinking this guy won't text again and was going through her Profile which Preeti developed. She thought of people who would have judged her for the bio and pet name Preeti used.

"Chidiya"

It was Mamiji's idea. Chidiya was her pet name. Her father used to call her that when she was a kid for she never rested anywhere and kept flying all the time. She only lay quite while asleep. According to Mamiji, disclosing less information about her would help if any problem happened and if she got a nice boyfriend there then also she would not be lying because Pet names are more real than fake ID like "AngelPriya". After all she discovered her own husband having that fake FB account because she refused to add him in her friend list.

She looked at her profile carefully doing little changes here and there.

" Entrepreneur, Delhi.
Cooking is loving.
Wanna go on hills that's where is thrills.
Music lover: Sufi and soft Bollywood
Kaho naa Pyaar Hai type of love story 'wanted'
Swipe right only if you have guts to bear my Punch.
And never ever use the F word with me."

She then got another message.

"Chidiya? What kind of girl have such name?"

"Just as a boy having a nightmare of a name - Meaningless."

A/n- So guys whom do you think she matched with Shravan Malhotra or Shavan? And how did you like the story? Also I wanted to clarify that I've never used scratch that seen Tinder app so no idea how it works. Its on my general imagination, if any of you uses can tell me where I've gone wrong. I only got to know of it while watching one those "mandatory" ads on YouTube.
One more question: you guys want more updates of this book or In the world of confusion?

Love,
Zindagi.
