"Aditya, this is Kiara Parihaar, Mr. Parihaar's beautiful daughter. Mr. Parihaar's Son, Paras Parihaar is busy at the company so she is attending the banquet in his stead. Though we don't get to see her often because Mr. Parihaar keeps his daughter hidden so that no one could disturb her normal life."
Mr. Kashyap laughed as he joked about her being hidden.
"Hello Mr. Kashyap"
Kiara greeted Aditya with her melodic voice.
"Hello" replied Aditya with his deep voice.
"Hello Rudra"
Kiara greeted Rudra with a warm smile.
"Hi Kiara, long time no see. Nice to meet you again" Rudra replied warmly.
"I assume you are going to apply to the same university as Rudra right?"
Mr. Kashyap asked as he looked at Kiara.
"Yes, Uncle."
Answered Kiara softly.
"That's good. If you need help you can find Rudra and Aditya anytime"
Mr. Kashyap said warmly.
"Sure Uncle. Thanks for your concern." Kiara agreed politely and slightly bowed her head respectfully before Mr. Kashyap left with his sons to greet others.
After some time, the banquet came to an end. And everyone slowly left the venue.
Aditya glanced at Kiara warmly before leaving the venue with his father and brother.
At Nirvana Palace
Aditya sat on his bed after changing into Pajamas. His mind drifted to the beautiful girl he saw at the banquet. After some time, he reached out for his phone and clicked on the Instachat icon he hadn't touched for ages. He searched Kiara's name in search engine and found her Id quickly.
Meanwhile, At Allureville.
Kiara has been contemplating whether to send follow request or not for almost half an hour now. She looked at the profile on her screen as the name "@mr_kashyap" highlighted on the screen
At last, she ended up clicking the 'follow' option which turned in 'requested' as soon as it was clicked.
A few minutes passed. And Kiara started to regret her decision.
At the other end,
As Aditya decided to back out, a notification popped up on his screen which said,
"Kiara Parihaar (@kiara_) has requested to follow you".
He clicked on the notification as soon as he saw what it was about, and accepted the request immediately.
He proceeded to follow her back but stopped as he thought, he might seem like a playboy image if he did so.
While Kiara thought it's not too late to cancel the request she received a notification which said,
"Aditya Kashyap (@mr_kashyap) accepted your follow request"
Bubbling emotions surged in Kiara's heart. Which made her feel stuffed. She was smiling crazily showing her two little dimples. Unable to suppress all the sudden emotions Kiara rolled in her bed and muffled her face in her pillow giggling like a little innocent kid who got his favorite toy.
Kiara was extremely satisfied with Aditya, even if all he did was accepting her follow request.
But on the other side, a certain someone wanted to make a move as well. Aditya wanted to start a chat. He typed 'Hi' then deleted it.
He wanted to make a powerful first impression that won't be cliche. Or won't show that he is desperate.
He typed again 'do you know me?' but deleted again, It was somehow illogical.
Usually, many people accept the following requests whom they don't know. But they don't usually send requests if they don't know the person they are sending a request to.
So he decided to say something else and started to type again "Do I know you?" Even though it sounded quite rude, who would dare to refute him. He clicked on the send option.
The person this message was sent to was going crazy. Even though the message indicated that Aditya doesn't remember her, yet, she was very happy that the question would start a chat.
Mr_kashyap: [Do I know you?]
Kiara_: [Maybe you don't remember me. But you know me.]
Mr_kashyap: [???]
Kiara_: [We met at the banquet today.]
Mr_kashyap: [Did we?]
Kiara_: [I am Mr. Ratan Parihaar's daughter]
Mr_kashyap: [Oh. I remember now.]
Kiara_: [So, do you remember my name? Or should I introduce myself again?]
Mr_kashyap: [I met so many people at the banquet, how can I remember everyone's name.]
Even though Aditya typed this. The reality was totally opposite " even though I met so many people at the banquet, I can never forget your name Kiara" he muttered to himself.
Kiara_: [My name is Kiara. I'm 17 years old. FYJC Arts. A University.]
Mr_kashyap: [Aditya. 20. Filming and Entertainment Management, and Business Management, I'm studying both. A University. I never saw you at the University though,]
Kiara_: [My classes are yet to start.]
Mr_kashyap: [When?]
Kiara_: [In 2 weeks]
Mr_kashyap: [Oh. Okay]
Kiara_: [Mr. Kashyap, Can I ask you a favor?]
Mr_kashyap: [Hmm]
Kiara_: [Actually, I can't sleep right now. And there's nobody else online. Can you chat with me for some time if you are still up? It's okay if you don't want to...]
