Shrishti Reborn

Chapter 52. Shrishti's new Dilemma

Shrishti woke up an hour before the noon. She sleepily trudged around the house and waved at Arpit and Megha sitting nearby. She passed by them and entered the kitchen only for her eyes to widen. Arpit and Megha? She ran back to living room where the brother sister duo were giggling. She frowned when they took a look at her and laughed out loud.

'What?' she asked as she walked over and sat next to them. She resisted the urge to lie on the sofa and fall asleep.

'You look funny, Di.' Megha giggled. Shrishti narrowed her eyes and then she remembered how she looked when she was freshening up. While she did not look anything ghastly but she did look like a zombie without zombie make up. Her hair all tangled, her eyes all droopy and her whole body language screaming for some sleep.

'You want to sleep more?' Arpit asked and she nodded.

'In life, there are two things I love the most. Food and sleep. Yesterday's antics has me exhausted and I want to sleep.'

Megha nodded before pouting. 'I wanted to sleep in too. Bhaiyya woke me up.'

'Raghav?'

'This Bhaiyya!', she pointed her thumb to Arpit.

Arpit sighed. 'I know you. You must be panicking about the social media. So I brought over Megha to cheer you up.'

Shrishti frowned. 'Panicking? Why?'

Arpit huffed. 'I should have let this brat sleep in. You do not even know about the drama!'

'What happened?'

'Go check your photo app. You are viral!'

'Haan?' Shrishti got up and ran off. In her room, she opened her phone and gasped. So many notifications! But why? She opened the photo app that Arpit mentioned and gaped as her followers that were around 500 till yesterday were now reaching 800.

'What happened?', Shrishti screeched as she came running into the living room. Vishesh Uncle asked her to eat but she waved him off. 'I will eat later. This is scary.'

'No.' Arpit stood up and glared at her playfully. 'Scary is Raghav Bro who would beat me into pulp if my barging in here becomes the reason you didn't eat! So go and eat!'

'But so many followers!'

'Will still be there even after breakfast.' Arpit smiled at her before giving her a glare. 'Now eat!' he said sternly and she huffed and stormed away to the dining table in the kitchen.

As Shrishti ate, Arpit and Megha joined her at the table. They were offered breakfast but both refused saying they had eaten at home. Arpit asked for coffee though.

'Now tell me what happened!', Shrishti demanded as she demolished half of her omelette.

Arpit sighed. 'Your post went viral. Like not viral in thousands. But it became slightly famous.'

'Huh? But why?'

Shrishti opened the app with other hand while she ate her soup with her dominant one. The post was not wrong in any manner. She had simply written.

'A big Thanks to these guys! They came to find refuge in our college and decided to cook for us and not let us starve! They are so sweet. They made us tea so that the cold weather did not get to us and their lunch kept our stomach warm till we could reach home! Thank you so much, my Heroes!'

It was a bunch of photos attached to the message that had Raghav and his classmates cooking.

'So? What is wrong with it for it to go viral?', Shrishti asked worriedly.
