After Saksham's performance was over, people applauded for him and he went down the stage with satisfaction. As he went to the backstage, the host called out for the second performer.
When Saksham reached the backstage, he sighed with relief. Everything went smooth and he was very happy about it. When he looked around in the room, he saw Om fiddling with his somewhat old phone. Although it was a smartphone but, it gave off a feeling that it had been through quite a lot in its lifetime.
He enthusiastically went to Om and said, "Hello, Om! My name is Saksham and I am your fan. I watched your video on YouThube a few days ago and it was very hilarious. I have never laughed so much in my entire life. Are you on Screwitter?"
Om smiled and shook hands with Saksham and said, "Well, you are truly exaggerating it. It's not that hilarious. I've also watched your performance and it is also very good. And yes, I am on screwitter now."
Now, you would be wondering. When did Om make an account on Screwitter? So, let's go back to 1 day earlier.
….

Om was sitting on his bed and thinking whether or not to go out today. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and once again lay down on the bed. He kept staring at the ceiling thinking about various things of the past when suddenly, he remembered something.
He remembered his boss telling him to make an account on Screwitter. So, he immediately got up and picked up his phone from the bed-side. He quickly opened the internet and typed Screwitter.com.
When the home page appeared on the screen, Om saw a picture of a green bird on it. There were various types of information and 'What's new' displayed on the home page. Om clicked on the 'Sign Up' which was on the top right corner of the page.
After clicking on it, a separate page opened and Om had to fill information of him like, what was his name, what he did, his Email-ID, his phone number, etc. After filling all these, now came the username.
Om thought for a long time and came up with a name. He typed, "Raw_Om_420". After typing this and creating a new password, he clicked on 'Create'. After that, he had to verify it from his Email-ID.
After 5 min, Om had officially entered the Screwitter and also the Celebrity Ranking. Well, he was not even on the list now. Only, for now. Om said in his heart. He then called Ayush to tell him to add this information in the video so that people can come and follow him on Screwitter.
After writing down the Username of Om, Ayush told the editors to make some changes to the video and adding Om's screwitter username on it.
After doing all this, Om was once again left with nothing to do and so he once again started watching T.V. But he didn't know that as soon as his screwitter username was added to the video, thousands of people immediately went up to the screwitter and started following Om. Overnight, Om entered the F grade and surpassed many people instantly.
The people who followed Om also recommended other people to follow Om. They checked Om's bio and saw he was a stand-up comedian. Then, they watched the video from the link Om had posted when he had logged in earlier. Watching the video made them laugh so hard that they also started tearing up. They swore that they had never seen anything like this before and they also started following Om.
This made more and more people follow Om and also raise the views on the video. Om's popularity was soaring now. And it was rising with an unbelievable speed.
The next day, when Om woke up, he saw there were many notifications on his phone. He opened his screwitter account and was immediately dumbfounded after seeing the situation of his account.
The last time he checked, there were no followers there. But now, there were around 7,000 followers. Although this number may seem very small as compared to the views he got on the YouThube. But it is quite a large amount if you see the number of people who actually are on screwitter. There are 30 million people on screwitter from India. And now, you will say that this is already quite a huge number. But the total population of India is approximately 1.32 billion. The king of the Stand-Up comedy in India, Rhytham, also has only about 100,000 followers only. So, Om's followers which grew so much in only one night is actually quite a lot.
So, all this comes down to two reasons for Om's 'so less' followers. One factor may be that the people who watched the video may not have an account in the screwitter. And the other reason may be that they felt like not following him or felt lazy to even open the screwitter to follow him now. Trust me, although the second reason may sound weird and unrealistic somehow but, this is all true.
Scrolling down the link of his video that he had posted on it, he saw many comments down below too.
"hahahahah! It was very hilarious. I have never watched anything like this before."
"Sh*t! I am the second one to comment here. I thought that I'd be the first one here."
"I love you, Om. <3"
"You are so handsome!! *shy emoji** shy emoji** shy emoji*"
"Wow! A new rising star is here. He got more than 7,000 followers in just one night! This is incredible!*Astonished Face Emoji**Astonished Face Emoji**Astonished Face Emoji*"
"When are you going to perform again? I want to watch you live."
"Yeah! When are you going to upload your next video?"

Om saw this and calmed down quickly. He replied to everyone patiently and then went to fresh up and cooked his breakfast in a happy mood. Soon, boss Ayush also called him to congratulate him on rising to the 1725th rank. Yes, Om had risen to the 1725th rank.
There were actually 2000+ people in the F grade. Most of the people in the last ranks of the F grade were just local celebrities who had a teeny-weeny bit of followers following them. So, this is the reason Om quickly rose up to the 1725th rank in just one night.
So now, let's get back to the present time. Om shook his hands with Saksham, told him his Username of screwitter and then talked with him for quite a while until his name was called out by the host.
