Chapter 1:Unknown Username
“Ananya Sharma! Go to sleep right now!”
Ananya quickly hid her phone under her pillow.
“Just two minutes, mom!”
“You said that thirty minutes ago!”
She waited until her mother’s footsteps disappeared before pulling her phone out again.
A huge smile appeared on her face.
Her latest defence edit had crossed one million views.
Again.
For her family, Ananya was just a normal girl from Ambala studying in Delhi.
But online?
She was the anonymous admin of a famous defence page.
And nobody knew.
Not her father, a JCO in the Indian Army.
Not her brother, an officer posted in Ranikhet.
And definitely not her mother.
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
@V_47 sent you a message.
Her smile disappeared.
“Seriously?”
She opened the chat.
@V_47: Delete your recent reel.
Ananya: Excuse me?
@V_47: You posted things you shouldn’t.
Ananya: It was a public parade clip.
@V_47: Public doesn’t mean smart.
Her jaw dropped.
Ananya: Who even are you?
@V_47: Someone who knows better than you.
Ananya: You’re so rude.
@V_47: Your editing is good though.
She paused.
Ananya: Was that a compliment?
@V_47: Don’t overthink it.
Offline.
Ananya stared at her phone.
“What is his problem?”
Her phone rang.
Bhai Calling.
She picked up instantly.
“When are you coming home?”
“This weekend.”
She smiled.
“Finally.”
“And I’m bringing one of my juniors with me.”
“Okay.”
She had no idea her brother’s junior officer—
was the same man she fought with online every night.
