In a world of words, Naina is a free spirit, a book lover and travel enthusiast. She finds solace in the stories, travelling to new destinations and loves reading romcom. Growing up, she loved chasing her dreams and passions that have taken her to many places.

She has just returned from a trip to Shimla, and the breathtaking views are still fresh in her mind. She shares a photo of a book with a scenic hillside, sparking a lively discussion on the book club group.
Abhimanyu, a smart charming man, is intrigued by the breathtaking view in the picture. As a sports enthusiast, who played cricket and enjoys travelling, Abhimanyu had recently joined a book club on a friend's recommendation. While romcom may not be his favorite, he definitely enjoyed the comedy genre. And believed that every holiday should be spent well.
He immediately replies to the post, asking where the picture was taken. Naina responds warmly, "Thanks! This picture was taken at Shimla. It's one of my favorite spots."
As the conversation shifts from a group discussion to a one-on-one exchange, Abhi DM's Naina, "Hey, I loved talking with you about travelling." He tells her how he isn't much into books, but loves travelling.
Naina, who also loves travelling, is interested in learning more about Abhimanyu's adventures. He shares his interests, expressing his passion for travel and sports.
As their conversation unfolds, Abhimanyu discovers Naina's passion for travelling and admires her reading and creative pursuits. Naina learns about his enthusiasm for life and is drawn to his determination and wise personality. Abhimanyu, in turn, is impressed by Naina's simplicity and kindness.
As the days pass, Naina and Abhimanyu continue to exchange messages, share stories, memories, and discuss their daily life. Abhimanyu makes silly attempts to make Naina laugh, while Naina cheers him for all his sports adventures.
They both look forward to their conversations at the end of the day, bonding over their shared love for travel, puns, and good memes. As weeks turn into months, their connection grows stronger. Naina finds Abhimanyu to be a safe space to be herself, while Abhimanyu finds someone to share his goofy sense of humor with.
One day, Abhimanyu asks Naina to meet in person. Naina's heart skips a beat as she contemplates the possibility. She is hesitant at first, but Abhimanyu's kind and gentle nature puts her at ease. She agrees to meet him, and they choose a cozy café as their meeting spot.
The day of the meeting arrives, and Naina's heart races with excitement. She is not sure what could be but she is ready to take a chance. Naina takes a deep breath, and steps into the cafe. Abhimanyu is already seated, his eyes scanning the room for a glimpse of Naina.
As their eyes meet, they exchange warm smiles, and Abhimanyu waves her over. They sit together in comfortable silence for a moment, the sounds of the cafe fading into the background.
As they begin to talk, Abhimanyu feels a sense of ease; as if he has known Naina for years, not just months. But just as things are starting to feel perfect, Naina receives a call...
