Nithya was lazily walking around her house. It was just the fourth day of her vacation, but she got bored within that. Added to this, her dad had also gone to his office to attend an important meeting. Earlier her had promised that, they would go out for a small road trip and return at night, but due to this meeting, everything got cancelled.
She peeped inside the kitchen and found her mom busily cooking breakfast for them. She was too bored even to disturb her mom. So she just went back to her room and took out her iPad to watch a movie.
Just then, her eyes landed on the notification from the story The Gun Point.
Without even waiting for a second, she opened the notification and read the prologue of the story.
Nithya was extremely excited and impressed after reading the prologue. She had binge read the prequel, so the excitement was less compared to this because she came to know the twists and turns immediately. But now, the curiousity he had built with his words was unimaginable. She thought of something and started typing a message to "techie_writes".
Hey techie:) How are you? And please don't ask me how I am doing. Because after reading your prologue, my mind is not stable. I can't wait for the chapter updates. You know the Knack to keep someone on their toes and I guess you've done PhD in it!
Jokes apart,I'm eagerly waiting for your update and please let me know before you update, so that I can make myself free to read it. Best wishes 😃.
She sent the message to him and sat back to watch something. After few minutes, her iPad buzzed with a notification from "techie-writes". She opened it with a curious smile!
Hey medico! I don't know what you had said above is either a compliment or a bad thing. But on a lighter side, I consider it as a compliment. Thank you so much for your words. And I'll make sure that I notify you before updating 👍
Nithya had a wide grin after reading his reply. She replied back and started the conversation.
~ Aww thank you so much! In that way I can be peaceful!
Hahaha 😂😂 it's strange as well as happy to see someone who is very much addicted to my story
~ Your work deserves it man!!
Thank you 😊
~Btw, is your name Raghav?!
Nithya had found his name mentioned at the end of the prologue.
Yes. Why are you asking now?
~ I noticed your name in the prologue today and that's why I just asked.
You didn't know my name earlier?
~No. Had you mentioned elsewhere?
Yeah! I had mentioned my name in the prequel too. If I'm not wrong, in the first and last chapter.
~Oops. I'd have skipped it as I was reading it in a hurry that day 🙈
It's okay! You got to know now right! Then why to worry?
~Yup. Why didn't you ask my name?!
She was curious as he did not ask what's her name. She expected that he would ask her during their first conversation itself, but he didn't. Now she was eager to know the reason.
If you had wanted everyone to know your name, then you would have kept it as your username. You are not willing to reveal it to others, so I didn't ask you, simple 😊
Gentleman! This was the first thought that came on Nithya's mind when she read his message. It's true that she didn't want everyone to know her name, but that didn't stop anyone from asking it.
But he respected her privacy and gave her space in the conversation. She was impressed.
~Great! But it won't be fair if I call you by your name while you don't even know mine.
If you feel so, then you can tell me your name Ms. Medico.
~ I'm Nithya 😃
Nithya! Nice name ☺️
~Thank you ☺️
What next?
~Nothing much. I'm on my vacation now, so staying home the whole day. What about you?
Just typed a few chapters of the story and completed my office works. Have to sleep in sometime.
~Oh nice 😄 You are able to manage both work and writing. That's quite difficult right?
It was difficult in the beginning. But now got used to it.
~You would have excelled it I guess
Haha kind of 😂
~ Am I disturbing you? Coz it's already 10:30 PM in India...
No no. I sleep only after 12:30 or 1. So you aren't disturbing me.
~ Thank God! Then can I ask you something?
Yes please?!
~ What made you write this particular story? I mean you had told me that, due to the lockdown you started writing... But why this particular story?
What if I say that, this is the only story line I had and I have in my mind😉
~ Whattt???
Yeah! Actually this story is based on my dream. And that is the reason why I wrote this..
~ That's amazing Raghav!! I get dreams and sometimes weird or scary dreams too... But never I thought of penning then down. Let it be one side. Even if I or anyone else write it as a story, I am damn sure that it would not be as intresting as you have written!!
Ufff... I guess I should be copy pasting 'Thank you' for every sentence. You have been praising me since day one and it feels little awkward to be honest.
~Lol 😂 I never expected this !
Just read our convo and then you will know how many thank yous I have said so far 😬
~Chill man 🤭
Haan..
~So back to the point, you mean to say that you don't have any other story ideas right now?
Yeah.. and I am not sure whether I'll be able to come up with one in future too..
~That hurts 🥺
Awwe.. so tell me what genre you'd expect from me, if I say I'm writing a new story. Definitely that won't be in near future.
~Hmmm... Something in romance? Coz I don't read romance much. Having read your thrillers,I want to read how you come up with romance too!
I'll keep in mind 😄
~ Thanks for considering my suggestion!
No mention.
~ I guess the breakfast is ready and it's getting late for you too. Good night Raghav 😃
Bye Nithya 😃
