It had been a month since Vinay and Chaaya had been engrossed in endless conversations on Webigram. Meanwhile, Manvi had also become a close friend of Chaaya. With Manvi's birthday approaching in just two days, Chaaya had a plan brewing in her mind. She was determined to orchestrate a meeting between Vinay and Manvi, hoping to spark a connection between them. She was going to make them both meet each other and then Vinay would be sending Manvi a follow request on the Webigram. Thus, igniting the topic of conversations between them.

Chaaya spent the next two days meticulously planning the encounter. She reached out to Vinay, subtly dropping hints about Manvi's upcoming birthday and how meaningful it would be for her to have him there. Vinay aware of Chaaya's underlying intentions, agreed to join in the celebration after her numerous persuasions.

On the day of Manvi's birthday, Chaaya coordinated the meet-up, ensuring that Vinay and Manvi would cross paths. Vinay, with a nervous smile, approached Manvi who was surrounded by a small group of friends. Vinay hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "Hi, Manvi, right?" Manvi turned to face him, her eyes brightening as she replied, "Yes, that's me. Hi!"

"I'm Vinay," he introduced himself. A casual introduction followed by an anxious exchange of pleasantries occurred between Vinay and Manvi. In her room Chaaya paced around, her heart racing with tension as she waited for a message from Vinay about his interaction with Manvi, hoping to know about even a glimmer of chemistry between them.

Vinay with his bunny smile said, "Chaaya told me it's your birthday today. So, happy birthday!" Manvi's grin widened. "Thank you so much, Vinay! That's really sweet of Chaaya to mention it to you." Vinay nodded, feeling relieved. "Yeah, she's thoughtful like that," he said, reaching into his pocket. "Oh, speaking of Chaaya, she asked me to give you this." He handed her a chocolate.

Manvi's eyes lit up with delight. "Aw, that's so kind of her! Thank you, Vinay. Please tell her I said thank you as well." "Will do," Vinay promised, his smile growing wider. "So, how's your birthday going so far? Manvi shrugged. "It's been good, just spending time with friends, you know." "Yeah, sounds like fun," Vinay agreed.

"Do you mind if you join us all for a bit?", asked Manvi with a polite smile. Vinay replied warmly, "Not at all! I'd love to join you" Manvi gesturing to her friends introduced Vinay, "Everyone, this is Vinay. He's a friend of Chaaya's, my online friend. " Vinay nodded to the group with a shy smile, feeling welcomed. "Hi, everyone."

The conversation flowed effortlessly as Vinay and Manvi chatted casually, sharing anecdotes and discovering mutual interests. As the evening progressed, Vinay and Manvi's interactions increased, there seemed to be a natural rapport between them. They exchanged their Webigram ID's.

Meanwhile at her home, Chaaya couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty gnawing at her. As the night drew to a close Chaaya couldn't help but wonder about the outcome. Would her plan succeed in igniting a spark between them, or would it fall flat? Had she succeeded in setting sail for a budding romance between Vinay and Manvi, or had her efforts failed to ignite the desired connection?

Vinay, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness, bid farewell to Manvi and her friends as the evening came to a close. Once he reached home, he quickly grabbed his phone and opened Webigram. Without wasting any time, he typed a message to Chaaya, his fingers moving swiftly as he recounted the events of the evening.

"Hey Cheeku, just got back from Manvi's birthday celebration. It went really well! Thanks for pushing me to go. I managed to talk to her, and we exchanged our Webigram IDs. Can you believe it? Anyway, just wanted to update you. Thanks again!" As Vinay hit send, he couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards Chaaya for encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.

Meanwhile, Chaaya, who had been eagerly waiting for Vinay's message, felt her heart skip a beat as she saw his name pop up on her screen. With bated breath, she opened the message and read through it with a wide smile spreading across her face. Vinay had succeeded in talking to Manvi, and they even exchanged their Webigram IDs.

Filled with joy and excitement, Chaaya quickly typed out her response to Vinay, her fingers flying across the screen. "Vinu, oh my gosh, that's amazing news! I'm so happy for you! You did great tonight, and I'm glad you had a good time. Can't wait to hear more about it. Thanks for letting me know!"

As she hit send, Chaaya couldn't contain her excitement. She had played a part in bringing Vinay and Manvi closer together, and seeing Vinay's success brought her immense satisfaction. Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

The next morning, Vinay logged into Webigram and saw Manvi's birthday pictures posted on her stories. Impulsively, he double-tapped on each picture, showing his appreciation for her celebration. Then, he replied to her story, "Had a great time at your birthday party, Manvi! It was fun meeting you."

Manvi, who happened to be online, saw Vinay's response and replied almost immediately, "Thanks, Vinay! I'm glad you could make it. It was nice meeting you too!"  Vinay felt a rush of excitement as he saw Manvi's reply. Without wasting a moment, he typed back, "Definitely! We should hang out again sometime."

Their conversation quickly gained momentum as they delved into discussing their hobbies and interests. Manvi's fingers flew over her phone screen as she replied, "For sure! I'd love that." Vinay shared his love for cricket, revealing how he never missed a match and even played with his friends on weekends.

Manvi's eyes sparkled with interest as she read Vinay's message. She quickly replied, "Cricket! That's awesome. I'm more into photography myself. I love capturing random moments. "

Vinay was intrigued by Manvi's love for photography and asked her about her favorite subjects to shoot. Manvi enthusiastically shared stories about her adventures in capturing people and their candid moments, her passion evident in every word she typed.

Vinay couldn't help but admire Manvi's dedication and talent. "That sounds amazing! I'd love to see some of your photographs sometime, you know even Chaaya loves photography but Chaaya is more into nature photography. She loves clicking pictures of flowers, plants, insects, birds and so on, " he replied, genuine curiosity in his message.

Manvi's smiled as she read Vinay's response. "Sure! I'll send you some of my favorite shots, and it seems like you're a great fan of Chaaya you've praised her a lot," she replied, feeling a flutter of excitement at the thought of sharing her passion with him.

As their conversation flowed effortlessly, Vinay and Manvi discovered common interests and shared experiences, forging a deeper connection with each passing message. They continued chatting, oblivious to the world around them, as they embarked on a journey of getting to know each other better through their shared passions and interests.
