As the sun gradually radiates its light to the city, he slowly gets up from tears stained pillow as his headaches because of the previous night vodkas.

He immediately looks for the water and he found a tablet with water on the table.

Granny, should have told the maid to put the tablet here!

He smiled with guilty because of the way he acted towards his granny the previous night.

He stretched his body and took the pills and drank lots of water.

He unlocked his phone and saw the client meetings, emails and important deals.

After that, He scrolled through social media.  But when he opened we chat app, he saw a message from a stranger.  He opened the message with curiosity. The name displays Riya! It reads,

Hey you, Don't worry
I'm here for you.

His eyes form tears without his knowledge while reading. He read out her name out loudly.

Riya...

It felt like she is saying beside him to calm him. His emotions are at a peak and he tapped her profile picture and there she is.

The arched eyebrows, the dark black coloured eyes, cute little button nose and her plump lips and her braided hair. Everything about her radiates happiness. Her teeth are not in a straight line but it makes her look beautiful. Even Her pimples look good on her.

He immediately texted her back while brushing his tears away from his face.

Me: Thanks for the message! But, I want to know about you. What do you say?


After sending this message he hides his face under his bedsheet as he has never done these kinds of messages to anyone.

Many girls proposed to me and asked me for a date but I rejected them all. But now, I'm trying my best to talk to her. This is so embarrassing. What am I even doing?

He smiled widely at his actions and started to ready for his office happily than ever before.

"Harvey! Please try to talk to him? He is just misunderstanding your situation!" Mrs Dina held her son's hand while saying this.

"Mom! You know me well" as he continues to reply his son Harry came downstairs to eat with them.

"Harry! Harry!" Harvey called his son looking for a reply from him but there is none.

His sister Cassie glanced at him but there is no reply.

"Harry" His granny shouted at him because her lovable grandson is doing these kinds of things in big misunderstood the situation of her son.

"Please Granny, I'm tired of hearing the same thing again and again. I don't want to talk to him" He said and left the dining table.

Mrs.Susan tried to talk about something but stopped at the fear of being getting silent as a reply from Harry.

His little eyes poured tears like rain where his father remarried Mrs Susan in front of him. He doesn't want to see anyone in his mother's position.

Mrs Dina held him in her lap like he is going to break anytime. "Harry... Look at your Granny!"

She wiped his tears and brushed his hairs away from his face that covered his face before.

"You're very young and you won't understand anything now. Your Dad always loves you. Don't forget that!" She knew her son's intention as she speaks her eyes filled with tears.

He can't sit in one place for a long time. He keeps on checking his phone time to time and walk across his office while fiddling his fingers and even his assistant Neo wondered at his boss behavior from outside.

As he can't keep his excitement under control, he dialed his bestfriend Daniel.

"Daniel! I want to say something" He said to him as long as Daniel received the call from him in a single breath.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Daniel asked him with worry.

"I'm okay! But not my Heart" He touched on his chest where the heart located with a smile.

Daniel rolled his eyes and laughed hard , "what?"

Harry took a long sigh, before replying

"Actually, I received a message from a girl in Wechat. When I saw her, it gave me a different feeling. But I know it all overwhelming for me but..."

Daniel fake coughed "What? My friend liked some girl? This is like wonders of the world " he exaggerated.

"I don't know how to pursue further?"

"Aww! It's okay, your friend is here right. I'll help you." Daniel said while giggling.

"Then, I'll see you tonight." Harry said and saw her picture once again, smiled unconsciously.
