Avi | Vrishti

Occupied?

Yeah. Exams are just round the corner. But tell me.

Yeah. It's exam season.

Ik. All of my time is spent in library.
I regret procrastinating throughout the semester.
I'm not doing it the next time.😩

For all Ik you gonna do it again next semester.😂

I agree.🤣🤣Anyway, how did you msg me first?😗

😒

Okay okay. Tell. What happened?

Nothing. I was just bored.

Why are you always bored? What do you do?

Not much. I just play video games most of the time.

Wow. You are living my dream life.

Lol you bet.
You would never want to live my life, not in a million years.

🤨

Would you like to play a game of Ludo with me? Oh sorry you were studying na. Nevermind. Bye.

Wait.
Why are you always riding on a horse?
I can definitely spare some time to play a match with you.

Really? Yassss! I'll take red. I always take red.

Okay.

Avi chuckled to himself and opened the game and logged in.

What's your un?

Trouvaille.

Lol. So true.

?

Nothing. Let's start.

The Ludo game was intense. Avi was knocked off twice by Vrishti giving her immense pleasure and she couldn't help doing a little happy dance. But that was short lived. The dice rolled a four and Avi could clearly knock off her important token.

No please.
You cannot do this to me.
You are my friend.
Please don't do this to me.😔

And wasn't I your friend when you knocked me off twice?😏

This will be my thousandth win. Can you not break my winning streak?

Fr?
How free are you?
Are you really a 55 year old retired person who has all the time in the world?

Kind of.

Avi spared her token and the game ended in her winning.

Yassss! 1000th win it is.

Yay! Congratulations.
Gimme treat.
Without me you could never.

I'm very broke. No treat.

Okay.
My treat.
Just gimme your address.
I'll be right there.

Nice try.😒

At least tell me your name. Do I not deserve it?🥺

My uncle once said, 'what's in a name'.

What a blatant plagiarist your Uncle is! That's literally a Shakespeare quote.

Yeah. Shakespeare was my distant Uncle.

Fr?

Are you really this dense? Or today is a special occasion?

Yeah. It's my birthday.

Oh Happy Birthday!

😒

Tell me it is a pineapple cake.

No it's Vanilla.

Smh. Disappointment.

When is your birthday?

Guess?

1st January?😒

Ha. Ha. No.😒

There are 365 days.
How am I supposed to guess?

I have never seen a more spoilsport than you.

Thank you for the compliment.

Anyway. I'll not tell you that.

Mine is on 2nd May.😁 Don't forget to wish me on real one too. I'm kind of big on birthdays.

Oh. Okay. I'll hopefully get to wish you.

Wdym. Are you going to ghost me?💔

When did I say that?
I'm just bad at remembering important dates and all.

Okay I'll remind you.🥰

Right now you should remember you have an exam you were studying for.😏

Oh crap. Yes. You are such a distraction.

Yeah bye.

Pray for me please. I don't want a back in this paper. I'll be screwed.

Go!

Avi opened his notes again, a huge grin spread across his face. This stranger was slowly making a special place in his life. Shaking his thoughts away, he was going to indulge in his studies when his the screen of his phone was on, indicating a notification of a message he received. He opened it and the smile got wider.

31th December. I'm a winter baby. You were very close with your guess.
