Subject: Re: Hello!

Are you real?

Of course, not! I'm this very famous protagonist of a New York Times Bestseller book.

If someone told me where all the crackheads belong, I would be more than happy to set fire to that place.

Especially to that place where this stupid girl belongs.

That's the concern for another day. What will I do to this mail? I thought this mail never existed and that it was all a part of my hallucinations.

I also went to a psychiatrist to check whether I had hallucinations. And he said, “You were hallucinating of having hallucinations.”

Which clearly screams that I'm normal, despite all that happened.

Should I reply?

Should I ignore?

Should I reply?

I think it's high time to reply to her. What could happen? Maybe, I would lose a few Euros if she was a fraud. Or, I will be the next iconic porn star if she was a great editor.

Or worse, if she was a black hacker, she would hack my mail and read all those messages between me and Ved. Then, the Interpol will arrest us.

Not a huge loss compared to what I had lost.

No, young lady. I escaped the Ice Age through a time machine.

Okay, is it time to learn “Communication Skills” from all those personality development camps?

A big, fat yes for myself.

Clicking backspace, I rewrote the message.

So what if I'm real? Will you turn me into a fictional character?

Nah, that's too rude for a stranger. I must remember that I'm not mailing with Ved.

I exist, Advika. No worries.

I

Yeah, this looks okayish. Meanwhile, I typed a question that has been haunting my mind for a while.

P.S.: How did you find my email account?

I pressed send, sent a screenshot of Advika's mail and my reply to Ved with a message:

Me: Too much bland stuff in life.

Too much bland stuff, huh, Ishaan? Looks like this guy doesn't know about me. (jk)

And... What are your views on Advika? And about Ishaan? Do you think they will make a great pair?

I thought I wouldn't publish this chapter today, but... Universe always has something interesting in store for us (iykyk).

This is a first time I'm writing a full-fledged romance (let's not talk about Would've, Could've, Should've, peeps). So... Help me grow with all those love and support of you peeps.
