Siddhart's POV:
I lay back on my bed, the cool breeze from the open window gently brushing against my skin. My phone chimed, indicating a message from Alisha.
A smile played on my lips as I opened the notification. "Wanna talk?" it read. I knew instantly that it was time to switch to my other persona, Prem.
I called her on the app, waiting for her to pick up. When she did, I could hear the excitement in her voice.
"Hi, Prem!" Alisha greeted cheerfully.
"Hey, Chandni," I replied smoothly, using her nickname. "How's my favorite girl doing?"
"I'm good," she said, a hint of shyness in her voice. "Just packing for the trip. What about you?"
"Just thinking about you," I responded, my voice full of warmth.
"Oh," she said, a playful lilt in her tone. "Is that so?"
"Of course," I said. "You know I can't stop thinking about you, Chandni. You've been on my mind all day."
She laughed softly. "Yaah yaah sure thing, Prem. Aur batao kya kar rahe ho?"
"Not much, I was just waiting to hear your voice," I teased.
"And now that I have, I'm feeling much better."
She chuckled. "Aacha ji, Are you trying to charm me?"
"Shayd," I admitted with a grin. "Is it working?"
"Shayd Haan," she echoed, clearly enjoying the banter. "You know how to brighten my day, Prem."
"That's what I'm here for," I said sincerely. "Making you smile is my top priority."
"Well, you've definitely succeeded," she said, her voice filled with warmth.
"Thanks for always being there, Prem."
"Anytime, Chandni," I said.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So, what about that surprise you mentioned earlier?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out," I said playfully.
"You'll just have to wait and see, Chandni."
"Come on, give me a hint," she pleaded.
"Sorry, but I'm keeping this one a secret," I teased.
"You'll have to be patient."
She let out an exaggerated sigh, but I could tell she was enjoying the banter.
"Fine, I'll wait. But it better be worth it!"
"It will be," I assured her. "I promise."
We continued chatting, exchanging light-hearted stories and jokes. It was easy to lose track of time when I was talking to My Chandni.
Her laughter and the sound of her voice made everything better.
After a while, we said our goodbyes and ended the call. As I set my phone aside, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. My connection with Alisha was growing stronger with each conversation, and I couldn't wait to see where it would lead us.
*Next Morning*
The next morning, I woke up early, an unusual occurrence for me. The excitement of our trip had me out of bed with anticipation.
