"No matter how hard a situation is and how difficult your thoughts are always remember FAMILY comes first. And for a girl, her dad is always her Hero" - Jas 

This chapter is dedicated to my family and my craving for mom's food 😂😋

Shanaya P.O.V

I woke up with the thought of Aakash today it's crazy how I am thinking about a guy as soon as I opened my eyes. This is the first time something like this happened, I have many friends who are boys but I never thought of someone like I was thinking about Aakash. There is something special about him I guess.  With these thoughts I got fresh and remembered today is something more special that is my dad's birthday. Getting all excited and dancing I went to wish him Happy Birthday. My dad is so special for me as I share all my craziness with him and he sometimes gives me ideas about what to do, sometimes he warns me about my thoughts. My only goal in life is, I should not be the reason for his sadness and I am determined to make it happen, because I believe sometimes situations may come in life which are out of my hands. As the whole world says girls are daddy's little princesses, I admit that is true in my case. No matter, how old I grow I will always be his little princess, smiling at the thought I went to dad hugged him and said happy birthday.

After that, I marched straight into the kitchen knowing that mom will make some special dishes today, and being a foodie I can't resist her food. I spent most of the time with my family having breakfast, followed by a delicious lunch of Hyderabadi dum chicken biryani and a dessert called double-ka-meetha (bread sweet). These two dishes are my mom's cooking specials and their taste is to die for. 

After lunch, mom and dad are taking a nap and my brother went out with his friends. My curious brain 🧠 started its charm, and my thoughts automatically wandered to Aakash and I want to check my Orkut account. Thinking the coast is clear, there is no one around to disturb me for a while, I went to the desktop and logged into my Orkut account in incognito mode 😎😁.

Soon I saw there are multiple notifications and also messages from Aakash. I replied to them " Hi Aakash, I am doing fine. I don't think you know me somewhere because I found you randomly in my friend's profile yesterday. I am sweety by the way 😜".  With that, I came out of messages and checking some quotes to post on to make my profile more attractive. Meanwhile, Aakash is online and we chatted for a while talking about hobbies and playing twenty questions. I started to agree on Bindu's words of Aakash being genuine. But suddenly, he asked me for a photo of mine.  As soon as he asked it, I stopped chatting because I don't know how to respond and my devil mind started thinking all negative possibilities, like what if he shares it to someone else and what if he blackmails me. My brain is thinking of everything and anything negative that might happen. Contradicting it my positive mind reasoning maybe he just wants to confirm who he is talking to or to know whether you are a genuine person and not a fake profile.

After deciding the pros and cons of the situation, I typed a message " I am genuine. If that's what you want to know. I am not ready to share my picture just yet, as we started chatting for just 20 minutes now. I can assure you, I am a girl and not faking anything with you. If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and block me, I don't mind. Anyways, it's nice meeting you, and I got to go, have fun and take care", with that I logged out of my Orkut account. Ignoring Aakash, I started to check my coursework online and college work that I need to finish before joining, because I am starting my engineering college in less than a month as a computer science student.
