Reethu's POV

As the sunlight filtered through the curtains, I sat up in bed, stretching my limbs and yawning. The events of yesterday still felt surreal, like a dream I hadn't quite woken up from. But as I glanced at my phone, the notifications reminded me that it was all too real.

With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded over to the window. The view outside was serene, with birds chirping in the distance and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of nearby trees.

Taking a deep breath, I headed downstairs, the anticipation building with every step. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me as I entered the kitchen, and I couldn't help but smile as I poured myself a cup.

Sitting at the kitchen table, I opened my phone to find a flood of notifications, each one more exhilarating than the last. Taylor Swift had followed me on social media, and she had even reached out to me personally.

What just happened now?
Did I just chat with My Swiftie mom?
Oh my god.
Aahhhh.

As I waited for her reply, the doorbell rang, pulling me out of my reverie. I hurried to answer it, my heart pounding in my chest. To my surprise, it was Ishan, a mischievous grin plastered on his face.

"Hey man," he greeted me, pulling me into a tight hug. "Hey Ishan," I chuckled, returning the embrace before leading him to the living room.

Sitting on the couch together, I couldn't contain my excitement any longer. I blurted out the news about Taylor Swift, watching Ishan's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit," he muttered, echoing my own thoughts exactly.

We poured over the messages together, each word sinking in as the reality of the situation began to set in. Taylor Swift wanted to collaborate with me, and the thought was both exhilarating and terrifying.

Just then, Shubman entered the room, his expression curious as he glanced between us.

"What's going on?" he asked, his interest piqued.

"Yesterday's joke turned into reality," Ishan explained, thrusting the phone into Shubman's hand.

Shubman's eyes widened as he read through the messages, a mixture of shock and excitement written across his face.

"Oh my god," he breathed, pulling me into a tight hug. "Hey, I deserve a hug too," Ishan protested, and I laughed, enveloping him in a hug as well.

As the reality of the situation sunk in, I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude and excitement. Taylor Swift wanted me to work with her, and it was a dream come true.

But amidst all the excitement, there was still work to be done. I needed to inform other important people and wait for Taylor's next message with the details.

"Go get ready! We are so celebrating this!" Shubman exclaimed, breaking the moment with his infectious enthusiasm.

With a smile, I headed back to my room, the events of the morning still swirling around in my mind. This was just the beginning of an incredible journey, and I couldn't wait to see where it would take me.

Hey!
I'm back!
With the details.
So I have planned
on making a new album.
And thought you could help
with the music and maybe
singing a few songs.
How does it sound?

That sounds great!
I'm still astonished
that you want me
to work on this with you.

You got talent girl.
Imma show it to the
whole world.

🥺🥺

❤️❤️

"Go get ready! We are so celebrating this!" Shubman exclaimed, breaking the moment with his infectious enthusiasm.

With a smile, I headed back to my room, the events of the morning still swirling around in my mind. This was just the beginning of an incredible journey, and I couldn't wait to see where it would take me.

With a sense of exhilaration coursing through me, I quickly freshened up and changed into a comfortable outfit. Every moment felt charged with excitement, and I couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation that tingled in the air.

As I made my way back to the living room, I found Ishan and Shubman discussing plans for the celebration. Their energy was infectious, and I couldn't help but join in their excitement.

"So, what's the plan?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity.

"We're thinking of hitting up that new café downtown and grabbing some brunch," Shubman replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Sounds perfect!" I exclaimed, already picturing the delicious spread of food that awaited us.

With a newfound sense of purpose, we quickly made our way out of the house, eager to start the day's festivities. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets as we walked.

As we approached the café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods wafted through the air, enticing us inside. The interior was cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and comfortable seating.

We settled into a table near the window, the excitement of the morning still lingering in the air. As we perused the menu, discussing our options and sharing stories from the past, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the incredible people in my life.

"This calls for a toast!" Ishan declared, raising his glass in the air.

"Absolutely!" Shubman agreed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Raising my own glass, I smiled, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment wash over me. In that moment, surrounded by friends who had become like family, I knew that anything was possible.

"To new beginnings and exciting adventures!" I proclaimed, clinking my glass against theirs.

The sound of our glasses chiming together echoed through the café, a joyful reminder of the bonds we shared and the endless possibilities that lay ahead.

As we toasted to the future, I couldn't help but feel a sense of optimism and excitement. With Taylor Swift's offer looming on the horizon, I knew that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey, and I couldn't wait to see where it would take me.

With laughter and conversation filling the air, we savored every moment of the celebration, grateful for the blessings that had brought us together. And as we basked in the warmth of each other's company, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together, united by friendship, love, and a shared sense of adventure.
