Episode 1

THe soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains in Tanu’s room. She lay curled up in her bed, clutching her blanket tightly, as the sound of her mother’s voice echoed through the room.

“Tanu! Wake up, beta. You’ll be late for college!” her mom called out, gently shaking her shoulder.

Tanu stirred, groaning softly. “Just five more minutes, Maa,” she mumbled, burying her face in the pillow.

“No excuses! You’ll have to get up now,” her mom insisted, pulling the blanket off her. Reluctantly, Tanu opened her eyes, blinking against the sunlight, and dragged herself out of bed.

She completed her morning routine—a quick shower, braiding her hair neatly, and dressing in a simple hoddie and jeans. By the time she reached the kitchen, the smell of freshly made parathas filled the air.

“Here, have your breakfast,” her mom said, placing a plate of paratha and achar in front of her.

“Thanks, Maa,” Tanu said, eating quickly. Before leaving, she called out, “Bye, Maa! Bye, Papa!”

Her father looked up from his morning newspaper, nodding with a smile, while her mother waved her off. Her elder brother and sister were still asleep, enjoying the luxury of a late start.

The college was just a short walk from her house. The path was lined with trees, and the air felt fresh and cool. As she approached the college gates, she spotted her best friend, Priya, waiting for her under their usual spot—the big banyan tree.

“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Priya teased, grinning.

Tanu rolled her eyes. “You sound just like Maa. Couldn’t you have been a little more sympathetic?”

“Nope. Someone’s gotta keep you on your toes,” Priya replied, linking her arm with Tanu’s as they walked towards their classroom.

They chatted about their day ahead, assignments, and the latest gossip. Priya, always the more outgoing of the two, loved teasing Tanu about her quiet nature.

Priya leaned closer to Kirti (Tanu) with a teasing smirk. "You know, in our entire friend circle, you’re the only one still single."

Kirti’s cheeks turned slightly pink as she looked away. "I-I’m good being single," she mumbled.

Priya raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? No secret crush? No cute love story?"

Kirti shook her head quickly. "No way! And you know my father’s friend is a professor at our college. If he ever found out I was dating someone, just imagine what would happen!"

Priya giggled. "So you’re scared, huh?"

Kirti huffed. "Obviously! I like my peaceful life."

Priya smirked, snatching Kirti’s phone from the table. "Well, if you won’t find someone, I’ll do it for you."

"Wait, what?!" Kirti’s eyes widened in panic. "Priya, give me my phone back!"

Ignoring her, Priya quickly downloaded a dating app. "Let’s see… cute, shy, and single? Perfect profile!" she teased, clicking through the setup.

"Priyaaa!" Kirti lunged to grab her phone, but Priya dodged, laughing.

The other friends watched, giggling as Kirti desperately tried to stop her.

"Don’t worry, Kirti," Priya winked. "By tonight, you might just have a date!"

Kirti groaned, covering her face. This is a disaster!

"Okay, listen up, Miss Shy and Single," Priya said, waving the phone in front of her. "Since you’re new to this, let me introduce you to the app."

Kirti groaned. "Priya, I don’t want to—"

"Shhh!" Priya shushed her dramatically. "Step one—don’t send your real picture. Keep some mystery, you know?"

Kirti blinked. "Then how will anyone know it’s me?"

Priya rolled her eyes. "It’s not about that! Just use a cute aesthetic picture or something. No need to give everything away at once."

Kirti frowned. "That sounds… suspicious."

Priya smirked. "Exactly! Keep them curious. Now, step two—never, and I mean never, give out personal information. No phone number, no address, no college name. Got it?"

Kirti sighed. "What if someone asks?"

Priya gasped dramatically. "Then you block them! If a guy is too nosy, it’s a red flag, babe."

Kirti shook her head, still unsure. "This feels weird."

Priya chuckled. "That’s because it’s new for you. But trust me, a little flirting won’t hurt. Who knows? You might even have fun!"

Tanu frowned. “Are you crazy? You know how strict my parents are. They’d never allow it.”

“They won’t know unless you tell them. Don’t worry, it’s just for fun.

Tanu hesitated but couldn’t ignore the spark of curiosity that Priya’s words ignited. “I don’t know… I’ll think about it.”

As they entered their classroom and the lecture began, Tanu found herself wondering about the app Priya download . Little did she know, her life was about to take a turn she could never have imagined.
