Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Behind the Screens

Room One: Akanksha (aka Neel Sharma)

The room was full of darkness, the only source of light being the monitor's glow. A pair of eyes stared at the screen, filled with joyful, crazy, and serious emotions all at once.

Chat with Nakul:

Akanksha (as Neel Sharma): Hi, kaise ho tum

Nakul: Tik

Akanksha: Aaj late nahi hogi tum Akanksha

Nakul: Hmm

Akanksha: Sorry

Akanksha: Kal time se msg krdiya karunga

Nakul: Hmm

Nakul: Kkrh

Nakul: Tumhare msg ka wait kar raha hun

Akanksha: Oo

Nakul: Tum kya kar rahi ho

Akanksha: Mummy ke khana banane mein madad karva rahi hun

Akanksha: Or tum se baatein

Nakul: Oo

Nakul: Hmm

Nakul: Tum madad karvao, hum baad mein baat karte hain

Nakul: Byeee

Akanksha: Hmm, bye

Akanksha closed the chat window, her mind already drifting elsewhere.

Room Two: Shanaya (aka Arnav Seghal)

On the other side of town, a room filled with color-contrasts of pink and violet. A pair of dazzling eyes focused on the mobile screen with a crazy, sarcastic smile. She was chatting with Amira Thakur as Arnav Seghal.

Chat with Amira:

Shanaya (as Arnav): Hi, Darling

Shanaya: What you are doing

Amira: Hello, Arnav

Amira: Nothing, just doing homework

Amira: And you?

Shanaya: Waiting for your reply

Shanaya: And missing you

Amira: Oo

Amira: Y are you missing me?

Shanaya: Because I love to talk to you

Shanaya: And love to hear your events that happened that day

Amira: Oooo

Amira: So, sorry for today I am unable to tell what happened

Amira: Bcuz today I am going to cousin's wedding with my parents

Amira: Sorry, and good night Arnav

Shanaya: Okk bye, good night (anger mood)

Shanaya stared at the screen, frustration bubbling up inside her.

"What does she think—who am I? A flirting boy?"

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard as darker thoughts crept in.

"What if she found out that all these days, the girl was talking with her as a boy? Would she block this account? Or... maybe become my friend?"

Then, an idea sparked.

"Let's use the Unknown Chatting feature of Silent Speaks."

Interlude: The Unknown Chatting Feature

Hey! How are things? Might be fantastic as per my instinct.

So, let's come to the point you're thinking about now—what is this special feature? Am I right?

The Unknown Chatting Feature lets users chat with unknown persons randomly. After some time, if they want to add the unknown person to their friend list, they can. If they're not comfortable chatting with them, they can use the skip option. Simple, right?

Now, let's see what happens when two fake IDs meet in the unknown...

To be continued...

What happens when Neel Sharma (Akanksha) and Shanaya Rajput (as Arnav Seghal) accidentally match in the unknown chat feature? Will they discover each other's secrets? Will their fake identities fall in love?

Stay tuned on SILENT SPEAKS.
