The next morning, Shubman woke up with a sense of excitement coursing through him, his mind already buzzing with anticipation for the day ahead. As he stretched and yawned, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, he couldn't help but feel a surge of energy propelling him forward.

With a quick glance at his phone to check the time, Shubman hopped out of bed and made his way to the bathroom, eager to refresh himself for the day ahead. The sound of running water filled the room as he stepped into the shower, relishing the feeling of the warm water cascading over his skin, washing away the remnants of sleep.

After a few minutes under the soothing spray, Shubman emerged from the shower feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the day. With a towel wrapped snugly around his waist, he caught sight of his reflection in the mirror and couldn't resist the urge to snap a quick selfie.

As he struck a casual pose, the towel slung low on his hips, Shubman couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement at the thought of sharing the moment with his followers on Instagram. With a smirk, he captured the perfect shot, the steam from the shower adding a touch of mystery to the image.

After adding a playful caption and a few choice emojis, Shubman hit the post button and watched as the likes and comments began to roll in. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as he scrolled through the responses, the positive feedback boosting his confidence and adding to the excitement of the day ahead.

As Shubman scrolled through the comments on his Instagram post, his eyes widened in surprise when he came across a particularly seductive comment from Preethi. His cheeks flushed crimson as he read her words, a mix of amusement and embarrassment washing over him.

"Looking good, Shubman 😉," Preethi's comment read, accompanied by a string of fire emojis and a winking face.

Shubman's heart raced at the sight of Preethi's playful words, his mind buzzing with excitement and anticipation. He couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth spreading through him at her flirty comment, a flutter of butterflies dancing in his stomach.

With a sheepish grin, Shubman quickly typed out a response, his fingers fumbling slightly with the keys as he tried to compose himself. "Thanks, Preethi 😳 You're not looking too bad yourself 😏," he replied, his cheeks still tinged with a rosy hue.

As he hit send, Shubman couldn't help but chuckle at the playful exchange, feeling a newfound sense of closeness and connection with Preethi. Despite the slight embarrassment, he couldn't deny the thrill of excitement coursing through him at the prospect of sharing more flirty banter with her in the days to come.

With a contented sigh, Shubman set his phone aside and made his way out of the apartment, the anticipation of their upcoming trip to Chennai filling him with a sense of joy and excitement. 

As he stepped out into the morning sunlight, he couldn't wait to see where the day would take him, knowing that whatever adventures awaited, he would be facing them with a smile on his face and Preethi on his mind.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As the morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room, Viva stirred from her slumber, her mind still foggy with sleep. Stretching languidly, she yawned and blinked away the remnants of dreams, her thoughts drifting to the handsome stranger she had been daydreaming about.

In her mind's eye, Ishan stood before her, his smile radiant and his eyes sparkling with warmth. She imagined them strolling through the streets of Chennai together, hand in hand, lost in conversation and laughter. The image was so vivid, so tantalizingly real, that Viva couldn't help but lose herself in the fantasy.

But as her daydream reached its climax, with Ishan leaning in to press a tender kiss to her lips, reality came crashing back in the form of gravity. With a startled yelp, Viva found herself tumbling off the bed in a graceless heap, her dream shattered by the abrupt awakening.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed, rubbing her elbow where it had collided with the floor. Blinking owlishly, she glanced around the room, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she realized she had been lost in her own little world.

Fortunately, Shruthi was still sound asleep, blissfully unaware of Viva's embarrassing mishap. Taking a moment to compose herself, Viva pushed herself up off the floor and climbed back onto the bed, determined to shake off the remnants of her dream and start the day afresh.

As she sat up, she couldn't help but chuckle at her own clumsiness. "Note to self: no more daydreaming before getting out of bed," she muttered to herself, shaking her head in amusement.

With a sigh, Viva glanced at her phone to check the time, her thoughts turning to the day ahead. She couldn't wait to spend time with Preethi and Shruthi, her closest friends and confidantes, and she hoped that today would bring more laughter and joy than embarrassing tumbles off the bed.

As she stretched and yawned once more, Viva couldn't shake the lingering image of Ishan from her mind. Perhaps one day, she thought with a wistful smile, her daydreams would become reality. But for now, she was content to enjoy the warmth and comfort of her friendship with Preethi and Shruthi, knowing that they would always be there to lift her up, both figuratively and literally, whenever she stumbled.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As the morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room, Shruthi stirred from her slumber, a contented smile gracing her lips. With a sigh of satisfaction, she snuggled deeper into her pillow, her mind drifting into the realm of dreams.

In her daydream, Shreyas stood before her, his eyes alight with warmth and affection. She imagined them sharing intimate moments together, lost in their own little world of laughter and shared secrets. The image was so vivid, so intoxicatingly real, that Shruthi couldn't help but lose herself in the fantasy.

As they walked hand in hand along the beach, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore providing a soothing backdrop, Shruthi felt a sense of peace wash over her. She imagined Shreyas leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead, his touch sending shivers down her spine.

But just as the daydream reached its peak, with Shreyas whispering sweet nothings in her ear, reality intruded in the form of a loud crash from the adjacent room. Startled out of her reverie, Shruthi sat up in bed, her heart racing as she tried to make sense of the noise.

"Is everything okay?" she called out, her voice tinged with concern.

There was a moment of silence before Viva's sheepish voice floated back through the door. "Yeah, just a little tumble. Nothing to worry about!" she reassured, though Shruthi could hear the amusement in her tone.

Shruthi couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's predicament, her own embarrassment at being caught in a daydream quickly fading in the face of Viva's good-natured humor. With a shake of her head, she pushed the lingering images of Shreyas from her mind and focused on getting ready for the day ahead.

As she climbed out of bed and began to go about her morning routine, Shruthi couldn't shake the warmth that still lingered in her heart from her daydream. Perhaps one day, she thought with a wistful smile, her fantasies would become reality. But for now, she was content to enjoy the simple pleasures of friendship and companionship, knowing that she had Viva, Preethi, and Shreyas by her side to share in life's adventures.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Ishan lounged in the living room of their shared flat, idly scrolling through his phone, he couldn't help but feel a sudden pang of curiosity about Viva, whom he had heard so much about from Shubman and Sai. With a mischievous grin, he decided to embark on a mission to find her Instagram profile and see what she was all about.

With nimble fingers, Ishan tapped away at his phone, navigating through the labyrinth of social media apps until he finally landed on Instagram. He typed Viva's name into the search bar, his anticipation growing with each keystroke.

After a moment of searching, Ishan's eyes widened in surprise as Viva's profile popped up on the screen. He couldn't help but admire her profile picture, her radiant smile lighting up the screen, and he quickly tapped on her profile to see more.

As he scrolled through her feed, Ishan found himself intrigued by the snapshots of her life that Viva had chosen to share with the world. From candid selfies with friends to picturesque landscapes captured during her travels, each photo offered a glimpse into the vibrant personality of the woman behind the screen.

But just as Ishan was about to delve deeper into Viva's profile, he was interrupted by the sound of Shreyas entering the room, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "What are you up to, Ishan?" Shreyas asked, leaning over to peer at Ishan's phone.

Ishan quickly minimized the Instagram app, trying to hide his browsing from Shreyas's prying eyes. "Oh, nothing much. Just checking out some stuff online," he replied nonchalantly, hoping to deflect Shreyas's curiosity.

But Shreyas was not easily deterred, and with a playful smirk, he reached for Ishan's phone, determined to uncover the truth.

"Let me guess, you're stalking someone on Instagram, aren't you?" Shreyas teased, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. 

Ishan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he tried to snatch his phone back from Shreyas's grasp. "Hey, give that back!" he protested, though his laughter betrayed his amusement at being caught red-handed.

With a triumphant grin, Shreyas held Ishan's phone just out of reach, reveling in his friend's embarrassment. "Oh, don't worry, Ishan. Your secret's safe with me," he teased, before finally relinquishing the phone and collapsing onto the couch with a hearty laugh.

As Ishan shook his head in mock exasperation, he couldn't help but chuckle at the playful banter between friends. With Shreyas by his side, he knew that even the simplest moments could turn into unforgettable adventures, and he looked forward to the day ahead with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

As Ishan attempted to recover from being caught in the act of social media stalking, Shreyas couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire with a mischievous grin.

"Hey, Ishan, don't worry. You're not the only one indulging in a little Instagram reconnaissance," Shreyas declared, a playful twinkle in his eyes.

Ishan raised an eyebrow, curious about Shreyas's sudden confession. "Oh yeah? And who might you be stalking?" he teased, eager to turn the tables on his friend.

With a theatrical flourish, Shreyas revealed his own phone, displaying Shruthi's Instagram profile for all to see. "Behold, the mysterious Shruthi!" he announced, his voice filled with mock drama.

Ishan couldn't help but laugh at Shreyas's theatrics, the tension from his own embarrassment dissipating in the face of his friend's infectious energy. "Well, well, well, looks like we've both been caught red-handed," he remarked, shaking his head in amusement.

Shreyas nodded enthusiastically, scrolling through Shruthi's feed with a keen eye for detail. "Indeed we have, my friend. But can you blame us? Who wouldn't want to get to know these lovely ladies better?" he quipped, his tone light-hearted.

Ishan chuckled in agreement, his curiosity piqued by the glimpses of Shruthi's life that Shreyas had uncovered. Despite not having met her in person yet, he couldn't deny the intrigue that surrounded Shruthi, and he found himself eager to learn more about the woman behind the Instagram photos.

As they continued to browse through Shruthi's profile, Ishan couldn't shake the feeling of excitement building within him. With Shreyas by his side, he knew that even the simplest moments had the potential to turn into unforgettable adventures, and he looked forward to the day ahead with a sense of anticipation and camaraderie.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Ishan and Shreyas scrolled through Viva and Shruthi's Instagram feed, exchanging playful banter and admiring the snapshots of her life, their conversation was interrupted by the sound of Sai entering the room.

"What's got you two so engrossed in your phones this morning?" Sai asked, his curiosity piqued as he approached the duo.

Ishan and Shreyas exchanged knowing glances before Shreyas flashed a mischievous grin. "Oh, just doing a little Instagram research," he replied with a wink.

Sai arched an eyebrow, intrigued by their cryptic response. "Instagram research, huh? Care to elaborate?" he prompted, his interest clearly piqued.

Ishan chuckled, deciding to come clean about their impromptu social media investigation. "Well, we may or may not have been taking a peek at Viva and Shruthi's Instagram profiles," he admitted sheepishly, bracing himself for Sai's reaction.

Sai's eyes widened in surprise at Ishan's confession, but he couldn't help but chuckle at their antics. "Ah, I see. Playing detective, are we?" he remarked, amusement evident in his tone.

Shreyas nodded enthusiastically, a grin spreading across his face. "Something like that. It's all in good fun," he added, his voice laced with excitement.

With a shrug, Sai joined his friends on the couch, leaning in to get a better view of the Instagram feeds displayed on their phones. "Well, as long as you're not getting into any trouble, I suppose it's harmless enough," he remarked, his expression fond.

As they continued to browse through Viva and Shruthi's profiles, the trio shared laughs and exchanged stories, their camaraderie growing stronger with each passing moment. Despite the playful teasing and lighthearted banter, Ishan couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and gratitude for the friendships he had found in Shubman, Sai, and Shreyas. 

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Shubman entered the living room, he was met with the sight of Ishan and Shreyas huddled together, their attention fixated on their respective phones. Curiosity piqued, he approached the duo, his brow furrowing in amusement as he caught sight of the Instagram profiles they were perusing.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Shubman teased, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. Ishan and Shreyas looked up, their guilty expressions giving away their mischief. "Uh, hey, Shubman," Ishan greeted, his cheeks flushing slightly at being caught in the act.

Shreyas chuckled nervously, his eyes darting between Shubman and his phone screen. "Hey, buddy. Just, uh, doing a little social media reconnaissance, you know?" he explained, his tone attempting nonchalance.

Shubman arched an eyebrow, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Social media reconnaissance, huh? I see," he remarked, unable to suppress a chuckle at their antics.

Ishan nodded eagerly, attempting to salvage the situation. "Yeah, just getting to know Viva a little better, you know?" he offered, his tone hopeful.

Shreyas chimed in, his grin widening. "And I'm doing the same with Shruthi. You know, just trying to be good friends," he added, his voice tinged with innocence. Shubman couldn't help but laugh at their feeble attempts to explain themselves. "Well, as long as you're not causing any trouble," he replied, shaking his head in amusement.

With a playful wink, he joined Ishan and Shreyas on the couch, taking a moment to peek at the Instagram profiles they had been perusing. As they continued to browse through Viva and Shruthi's feeds, Shubman couldn't shake the feeling of camaraderie that filled the room. Despite the teasing and playful banter, he knew that he was surrounded by friends who had his back, and he looked forward to the adventures they would share together, both online and off.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Shubman scrolled through his phone, his attention was suddenly captured by a new post from Preethi. With a curious tilt of his head, he tapped on the notification, eager to see what she had shared.

As the image loaded, Shubman's breath caught in his throat at the sight of Preethi wearing glasses. His heart skipped a beat as he admired her in the photo, struck by how effortlessly beautiful she looked with the frames perched on her nose.

A smile tugged at the corners of Shubman's lips as he studied the image, unable to tear his gaze away from Preethi's captivating smile. There was something about her in glasses that added an extra charm to her already radiant demeanour, and Shubman found himself utterly captivated.

Lost in his thoughts, Shubman's reverie was interrupted by the sound of Sai entering the room. Sensing an opportunity to satisfy his curiosity, Shubman turned to his friend with a grin.

"Hey, Sai, have you ever seen Preethi wearing glasses before?" he asked, unable to contain his intrigue.

Sai arched an eyebrow, his interest piqued by Shubman's question. "Glasses? Hmm, I don't think so. Why do you ask?" he replied, his curiosity evident in his tone.

Shubman shrugged nonchalantly, though his mind was racing with possibilities. "Oh, no reason. I just saw her post a picture on Instagram, and she's wearing glasses in it. She looks really cute," he admitted, a hint of bashfulness creeping into his voice.

Sai's lips curved into a knowing smile as he caught sight of the adoration in Shubman's eyes. "Ah, I see. Well, I'm sure she'll appreciate the compliment," he remarked, his tone laced with amusement.

With a satisfied nod, Shubman returned his attention to his phone, a warmth spreading through him at the thought of Preethi. As he continued to scroll through his feed, he couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation building within him. With each passing moment, his connection with Preethi grew stronger, and he knew that the adventures they would share in Chennai would only deepen their bond.

Lost in thought, Shubman couldn't help but dwell on the image of Preethi wearing glasses. He found himself wondering what other sides of her personality he had yet to discover. The thought of unraveling more layers of her complexity intrigued him.

Sai's voice broke through Shubman's reverie, bringing him back to the present. "So, are you getting excited about the trip to Chennai?" Sai asked, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Shubman's eyes lit up at the mention of the upcoming trip. "Absolutely! It's going to be great to spend some time with Preethi and your family," he replied, his enthusiasm palpable.

Sai nodded in agreement, his expression reflecting his own excitement. "I'm glad you're coming along. It'll be nice for you to see where I and Preethi grew up and to meet our parents," he remarked a hint of pride in his voice.

As they continued to discuss their plans for the trip, Shubman couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation that coursed through him. He knew that the journey ahead would be filled with unforgettable moments and cherished memories, and he couldn't wait to experience it all alongside Preethi and Sai.

With a sense of excitement building within him, Shubman returned his focus to his phone, eager to soak in every moment of the adventure that awaited them in Chennai.
