He laid on his bed, his mobile phone on his chest. He saw a moon through his balcony as he stares outside for a long time.

He saw her Morning message and replied Hii but there is no reply from her till now.

He is waiting for her message for a long time and to answer his prayers he heard a notification. With hope, he quickly opened and saw a message and smiled.


Riya: Hello! Mr. Americano.

He read the message twice and smiled confusedly.

Harry: what? But it's cute.

Riya: It's my friend's nickname for you. But I started to like it. Do you like it?

Harry smiled ear to ear at the screen because she called him by Nickname and she even told about him to her friends. He nodded his head and typed

Harry: yes.

Riya: Then, after this, I'll call you by this name.. Mr. Americano!

He let out a big sigh because he can't control his happiness because of her behaviours. If she was here now, he will surely pinch her cheeks cutely for her cuteness.

Harry: You can! What are you doing now?

Riya: I'm at my friend's home preparing a wedding gift for my best friend wedding. Do you know anything about Indian marriages?

Well, Harry doesn't know anything about Indian Marriages. He rolled his eyes left and right and typed,

Harry: well, I don't know anything about that until now. But I'll learn for you!


He again read what he sent and he hid his face under the pillow. He is openly flirting with her.

When she saw his message she spilt her drinking water out and smiled shyly.

Riya: ohh hoo... I'll wear Saree tomorrow.

She fell for his line. That's why she changed the topic now. Harry chuckled.

"I wanted to see her. I don't know how to ask her whether she will accept to video call me? "

Many thoughts went into his mind. With courage he finally typed,

Harry: can you Video call me tomorrow? I want to see you?

She blinked twice whether she is reading properly or not. Her mind and Heart processing what to reply but she replied,

Riya: Sure, Why not?

When he saw her reply he jumped up and high in his bed.

Harry: Haa, Thank you. I'm waiting.

Riya: I'll try to introduce you to my friends. Ok? I'll call you at past 8 PM.

Harry: Sure, Enjoy your day and convey my wishes to her.

Riya: Okay, Bye! I have to prepare for her present. It's Night there right? Good Night!

Harry:  Bye and Good Morning!

He said Good Morning because it's Day time in India. He smiled reading their Good Morning and Good Night messages.

Even though there are hundreds of obstacles they are chatting via the internet. He smiled at his thoughts.

"Harry! Harry!" Someone knocks at his door and from the voice, it's none other than Cassie. His sweet little sister!

With a big smile on his face, he opened the door for her. she saw his brother's wide smile and asked "Why are you smiling? What happened? Aahh aahh?" in a teasing tone.

Harry tried to hide by saying "Nothing! nothing." But his face can't hide his happiness.

"Tell me, Harry," she said in a pleading tone. Well, Harry can't hide it from her sister.

"Riya is going to Video Call me tomorrow"

"What?" Cassie opened her mouth in awe.


"Yes, You are jealous of me. Right?" Harry teased her. "Yes, I am. So what?" She frowned at him.

"Can I join with you, Please? Please! I want to see how Indian people are there. You know, I don't have any Indian friends at my High school right?" She put so many reasons in front of him so that he can't deny them.

"Okay, Okay! But don't tease me in front of her." He knows she will surely tease him but he said to her clearly.

She nodded her head twice like a doll with a wide smile. "Hey, why do you come here? Do you want anything?" Harry remembered.

She scratched her head and think in her mind but she can't remember. "I forgot why I came here for!" She put her hand on her mouth and laughed aloud.

Harry can't hold his laughter seeing her giggles so he laughed along with her. "If I remembered later, I'll tell you in the morning. Good night then!" She said and turned to the door.

She opened the door and stand outside but her head peeked inside and said "Don't forget to dream about your Riya" she teased him.

He didn't say anything but smiled. He is very excited to see her tomorrow. He closed his eyes to sleep with a smile.
