The story of two broken souls where she never believes in love and he always believes there is some magic in love. What will happen when they will meet? Will they fall in love or will their perspective towards "love" change ?
After coming home in the afternoon, Zoyee is welcomed by silence. She realizes that her mom hasn't come from the office yet. She directly went to her room to take a shower.
A while later, Siri also returns and upon realizing Zoyee has already come, she starts to prepare dinner for them.
Meanwhile, Zoyee comes out from the shower and starts to think about the mysterious boy named Archie while drying her hair. She was so lost in her thoughts that she doesn't even notice when her mom enters her room and is standing behind her, watching her smiling softly being lost somewhere.
Siri fake coughed a little to gain Zoyee's attention. Being startled eeing her mom there Zoyee asks, "When did you come home, mom?" "Almost an hour ago and now came here to call you for dinner." "Oh, okay. You go ahead. I'll be in 5.''

Soon Zoyee joins her mom at the diner table. They continue to eat while asking about their day. "How was work?" "Nothing special. The same tiring office works." In reply Zoyee just hummed feeling pity for her mom. Her thoughts get interrupted by her mom's curious question, "So, how was the orientation program?"
"It was really amazing!' Zoyee exclaims excitedly, "You know what mom? I have already made three new friends today. They are really friendly and didn't make me feel bored even for a second." Zoyee was telling the thing like a child being over excited to share something new they discovered. But she chokes on her food when out of nowhere Siri asks, "And what about the guy that got my daughter's attention?" Seeing her daughter's condition, Siri immediately gives Zoyee a glass of water while gently rubbing on her back. Once Zoyee becomes again, she asks with an annoying expression, "Which guy, mom?"
"The guy, about whom you were thinking in your room while smiling like an idiot that you didn't even hear me calling you for about 5 minutes." Zoyee's eyes widened in surprise but she quickly composed herself, maintaining a poker face. "Mom, you know that I don't have any interest in these things and don't even believe in love. Then why bring this up? " Siri smiles playfully, "I know. I know. Okay maybe not love but at least you can like someone, right?"
"Wrong mom. What about you and dad? You two used to love each other like mad people but now? Now you two don't even like each other." An uncomfortable silence satteled between them until Zoyee broke it."Sorry,mom.I didn't mean to hurt you bringing this topic. I'm so sorry."
Upon hearing her daughter, Siri returns a soft smile. "It's okay, dear. I know whatever has happened between me and Eric, left a fear and scar on you. But remember, dear not everyone is like me or your dad. You never know when someone might come into your life and take away your fear of falling in love giving you more love than you can even imagine." This time Zoyee remains silent hearing her mom.
After dinner, Zoyee went to wash the dishes while her mom's words kept echoing in her mind. "Will there be someone who can make me believe in love again? Do I really like Archie? Or I was just fascinated by his presence and spectacular performance?" she wonders.

Once the dishes were done, Zoyee came to her room and started doing her night care routine. Afterwards she lays down on her soft bed while scrolling through her social media. Until a notification pops up, 'You have a new friend request.'
Opening the notification, her eyes almost pops out seeing the name of the person who has sent her a friend request 35 minutes ago.
(A.N.- Who do you think sent her that friend request? 🤔
