Before everything started… there was Discord.

Not a place you can touch, not a place you can see… but a small digital world where thousands of voices meet every day.

Servers full of strangers.

Chats full of random conversations.

Late night voice calls where people laugh, argue, share stories… and sometimes, unknowingly change each other's lives.

For many people, Discord is just an app.

A place to pass time.

A place to talk with friends.

But for me… it became something more.

Because somewhere between those endless chats, muted microphones, and sudden laughter in voice calls…

I met him.

And I didn’t know it then… but that one voice call was about to start a story I would never forget.

Time 2:43 Date 11-1-26

That afternoon felt completely normal… at least at first.

At around 2:43 PM, I joined the Discord VC. A few seconds later, he joined too.

Ayaan was already in the voice chat. He’s Vihaan best friend not just any friend, but the kind of friend who has been with him for almost eight years. Their bond is something different… a perfect mix of teasing, chaos, and brotherhood.

The moment vihaan joined the VC, ayaan immediately spoke.

ayaan – “Abe finally aagye bhai tum!”

vihaan – “Haan aagya… kya kar rahe ho tum log?”

my pov – The moment I heard his voice, I don’t know why… but I suddenly became quiet. It’s strange how someone’s presence can change the whole mood for you

.

The two of them started talking like they always do casually, comfortably, like they had known each other forever.

And there I was… sitting in that VC with them.

Just the three of us.

What started as a normal afternoon voice chat slowly turned into hours of talking, laughing, and random conversations.

At that time… I had no idea that this simple voice call would become such an important memory for me.

Before that day… vihaan and I already knew each other.

We talked sometimes, joked sometimes, argued sometimes. Somewhere between all that, a small unspoken feeling had already started growing between us.

But neither of us had ever said it out loud.

That day we were all playing Owo, the Discord bot game. It has a funny system where you can actually marry someone in the game.

At one point, suddenly Yash said

vihaan – “Owo marry kare?”

my pov – For a second I just froze. My face instantly went warm.

Vihaan – “Owo marry kare?”

my pov - "Abhi ???"

Vihaan - "yeah, ruko"

Then he turned to ayaan

Vihaan – “Oye ayaan, dusri ID mein 10m daalna Owo.”

ayaan tried to help… but he accidentally sent the money to a banned account.

For a moment there was silence… and then

Vihaan – “Agar aaj marriage nahi hui na toh dekhna tum Ayaan!”

Ayaan, being the emotional crybaby he is, immediately panicked.

Ayaan – “Arre ruko bhai! Aaj hi hogi… abhi karvata hoon!”

Then he called their friend Dev into the VC. Dev is the chill type of guy always calm, always relaxed.

They tried again to send the money… but this time the tag was wrong, so the money didn’t go through.

And that’s when Vihaan said the line that made me laugh so much.

Vihaan – “Chutiya hai kya bhai tu bhi…”

I couldn’t stop laughing.

me – “Are koi na… kal kar lenge.”

But apparently that was not an option.

Both vihaan and ayaan had suddenly become completely determined.

vihaan – “Nahi! Aaj hi hogi.”

ayaan even asked his best friend Mishu for help, and dev added some too. All three of them somehow managed to gather the 10 million Owo coins and send them to Vihaan second account.

Finally… everything was ready.

And then came the moment.

Right there… in front of everyone in the VC…

Vihaan proposed.

For a second my heart was beating so fast I could barely think.

But I smiled… and accepted.

And just like that… we got married in Owo.

None of us knew it then… but that silly little Discord marriage was the moment our real love story started.

But here’s the funny part…

Before all of this?

he and I was actually enemies...

The Beginning (Flashback)

Flashback

It was winter… October.

The air was colder, the nights were longer… and after almost two years, I decided to open Discord again.

For two whole years I had stayed away from that chaotic little world of servers, voice chats, and endless messages. But that day… something randomly made me come back.

And I did.

When I logged in, the first thing I noticed was that most of my old friends were inactive. The chats were quiet… the servers felt empty.

I sighed.

my pov — “So everyone really left…”

I just wanted some random conversation. Nothing serious. Just a little chit-chat.

So I started jumping from server to server…

Until I found a server called Backbenchers.

And that’s where everything started.

Server Chat Backbenchers

out of nowhere someone tagged me

vihaan — “@Richa hello?”

my pov — The tag surprised me a little. I checked the profile.

He had the Owner role.

But honestly… I wasn’t surprised. I had been on Discord long enough to see hundreds of owners, mods, admins and everything in between.

So casually, I replied.

Me — “Hey.”

And just like that… a normal conversation started.

Server Chat — Backbenchers

vihaan — “So… new here?”

me — “Kind of. I just came back after a long break.”

vihaan — “Oh really? What were you doing all this time?”

me — “Life… studies… chaos.”

vihaan — “Fair enough.”

And slowly… the chat kept going.

We talked about studies, careers, exams… random life things.

That’s when I told him

me — “I’m doing BA LL.B.”

vihaan — “Nice. I’m doing my Masters while preparing for government exams.”

my pov — He sounded… mature. Calm. Not like the usual chaotic Discord boys.

Then he said something unexpected.

vihaan — “If you ever need help with studies or exams… you can DM me.”

me — “Sure.”

my pov

I’ve always been the extrovert type on chat. Once I start talking… the whole chat somehow shifts.

And that day was no different.

People started joining the conversation.

Tags started coming.

Replies kept increasing.

Within a short time…

The chat crossed almost 1,000 messages.

The owners were impressed.

And that’s when Vihaan asked something.

Server Chat — Backbenchers

vihaan — “You’re pretty active.”

me — “Haha maybe.”

vihaan — “Do you want to be the Girl Mod here?”

my pov — I paused for a second.

In real life… things were honestly messed up. Discord felt like a small escape.

So I shrugged and replied.

me — “Sure… why not?”

Even though I was planning to leave Discord again soon…

I thought—

my pov — “Why not just have fun for a while?”

And that was it.

The first step toward my love story.

Backbenchers.

Days passed.

I started enjoying the server.

Talking.

Playing.

Laughing.

Moderating chats.

I even reached Top 1 on the leaderboard four times.

I made a lot of friends there.

Or maybe…

Some enemies too.

I didn’t know yet.

But the real chaos started with something very stupid.

Server Chat — Backbenchers

One day while I was chatting normally…

Suddenly a sticker appeared in chat.

And it was…

…very adult.

And it was sent by Vihaan.

But it was clearly a mistake. He probably tapped the wrong sticker while searching for another one.

Within seconds he deleted it.

But my moderator instincts were faster.

I took a screenshot.

In two seconds.

And dumb me…

I posted it in general chat.

Server Chat

me — posts screenshot

vihaan — “Are you a kid or what??”

vihaan — “I said it was a mistake. Why are you posting it here?”

vihaan — “Are you crazy bro?”

my pov — The joke suddenly turned serious.

And instantly… I felt bad.

So after thinking for a while…

I finally gathered courage to message him.

My hands were literally shaking.

Because I had never seen him angry before.

Discord DM — Me & Vihaan

me — “Are you angry?”

me — “I’m really sorry… it wasn’t my intention.”

my pov — I expected him to shout.

But instead…

He replied calmly.

vihaan — “Oye chuha… relax.”

vihaan — “Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

vihaan — “I just felt bad that everyone has that screenshot now.”

my pov — The guilt instantly doubled.

me — “I’m really sorry.”

vihaan — “Arre bas bhi karo.”

vihaan — “No more sorry.”

vihaan — “Next time bas dhyan dena.”

Then suddenly he added—

vihaan — “But your screenshot skill is crazy.”

vihaan — “2 seconds mein kaise le liya?”

And we both started laughing.

For a moment…

Everything felt normal again.

Or at least…

That’s what I thought.

Because the real mess hadn’t even started yet.

A few days later…

Something unexpected happened.

He messaged me on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Chat — Vihaan & Me

vihaan — “Are you close to those two guys?”

me — “Yeah… they’re my friends. Why?”

vihaan — “What type of friends?”

me — “Normal friends. What happened?”

vihaan — “They have your pictures and videos.”

my pov — I actually laughed.

me — “Yeah I gave them. Why bro?”

vihaan — “Listen carefully.”

vihaan — “Those guys are not good.”

vihaan — “Don’t get too close to them.”

vihaan — “They will use you and then get you banned from the server.”

vihaan — “I’m telling you this because you’re active and I don’t want to lose such a good girl mod.”

My pov — I honestly didn’t fully believe him.

It sounded strange.

So I just replied casually.

me — “Okay okay.”

But still…

Somewhere in my mind…

I started keeping a little distance from those guys.

Just in case.

But then one day…

Something strange happened.

I opened Discord and messaged him.

Discord DM — Me & Vihaan

Message Failed

“You cannot send messages to this user.”

my pov

I froze.

He had blocked me.

Confused and annoyed…

I immediately opened WhatsApp.

WhatsApp Chat

me — “What the hell?”

me — “Why did you block me?”

And that message…

Was the beginning of the biggest fight between us.

To be continued…

It all started with that one message.

After realizing that Vihaan had blocked me on Discord, I immediately went to WhatsApp and texted him.

WhatsApp Chat — Vihaan & Me

me — “What the hell?”

me — “Why did you block me?”

There was a short pause.

Then he replied.

vihaan — “Tell me something honestly.”

vihaan — “Did you send those guys any vulgar pictures or something?”

For a moment I just stared at the screen.

My eyebrows furrowed.

me — “No??”

And then he started explaining.

vihaan — “Listen… I honestly don’t care what you do in your personal life.”

“But don’t ruin your own image.”

“Those boys are not good.”

“They get close to girls, take their pictures… and then get them banned from the server.”

Message after message kept appearing.

It sounded like he was trying to warn me.

Trying to make me stay away from them.

But instead of understanding him…

I got angry.

Really angry.

At first I had admired him a lot. He seemed mature, calm, someone who understood things better than others.

But at that moment…

It felt like he was judging me.

Like he was trying to control my life.

And my temper snapped.

WhatsApp Chat

me — “Can you just shut up now?”

me — “What the hell do you think of me?”

me — “Do you think I’m some kind of whore or what?”

The moment I sent that message…

Even I knew the words were harsh.

But it was too late.

A few seconds later his reply came.

vihaan — “There’s no need to use those words for yourself.”

“I wasn’t calling you that.”

“I was just trying to save you.”

“Nothing more.”

There was a pause again.

Then he said something unexpected.

vihaan —“I’ll let you talk to their ex.”

“Then you’ll understand what I’m saying.”

And surprisingly…

He actually did it.

But before that happened…

I decided to talk to those two boys first.

I messaged them and asked directly.

Discord DM — Me & Those Boys

me — “Did you guys say something about me?”

me — “Do you have any of my pictures or something?”

They quickly denied everything.

boy — “What?? No.”

boy — “We never said anything like that.”

boy — “Who told you this?”

They sounded convincing.

Almost too convincing.

Then they asked another question.

boy — “Did Vihaan say this?”

Without thinking too much…

I did something very stupid.

I showed them the chat.

They immediately started saying things about him

boy —“He’s an attention seeker.”

“He likes having every girl in his DMs.”

“Don’t trust him.”

Listening to all that…

My mind became a complete mess.

I didn’t know who was telling the truth anymore.

So I just left the conversation quietly.

Later that day…

When I opened Discord again…

I saw something unexpected.

Friend Request from Vihaan.

For a moment I hesitated.

But then…

I accepted it.

Almost instantly he created a group chat.

And there…

He added someone.

Their ex.

Discord Group Chat

ex —“Those boys used me too.”

“They got close to me, took my pictures…”

“And then later they threw me out of the server.”

As I read her messages…

My stomach dropped.

Everything suddenly made sense.

Everything Vihaan had warned me about…

Was actually true.

I typed slowly.

me — “…I believe you now.”

vihaan — “Good."

But inside…

I was scared.

Because I had already shown his chat to those boys...

That night… everything finally exploded.

It was around 9 or maybe 10 PM when the server suddenly became extremely active.

Notifications started popping up one after another.

Ping.

Ping.

Ping.

I opened Backbenchers… and instantly realized what was happening.

The two boys had started confronting Vihaan in the server chat.

Server Chat — Backbencher

boy1 — “Why are you spreading lies about us?”

boy2 — “Yeah bro what’s your problem?”

boy1 — “Stop defaming us in front of everyone.”

Within seconds the chat started filling with messages.

Members were watching.

Some were confused.

Some were asking what was happening.

Then Vihaan replied.

vihaan — “If the truth feels like defamation… that’s your problem.”

boy2 — “Don’t act smart.”

boy1 — “You’re manipulating people.”

boy2 — “Especially that girl.”

The moment I saw my name coming into the conversation… my chest tightened.

Suddenly someone wrote

member — “VC join karo sab. This is getting messy.”

Within minutes…

Almost the entire server joined the voice channel.

Owners.

Co-owners.

Staff.

Members.

Everyone.

The tension was suffocating.

Voices started overlapping.

Arguments started from every direction.

Voice Chat — Backbenchers

boy1 — “Why are you telling everyone we use girls?”

vihaan — “Because you do.”

boy2 — “Proof hai?”

vihaan — “You want proof? Ask your ex.”

Someone else spoke.

member — “Bro calm down.”

owner — “Everyone speak one by one.”

But no one was calm anymore.

Then suddenly one of the boys said something that made the entire VC go silent.

boy1 — “Ask her.”

boy2 — “She showed us your chat herself.”

My heart dropped.

For a moment… no one spoke.

Then Vihaan’s voice came.

Cold.

Sharp.

vihaan — “You showed them our chat?"

I couldn’t say anything.

The silence itself was an answer.

A few seconds later…

His voice came again, quieter this time.

vihaan — “Wow.”

Those three letters hurt more than any shouting.

The argument became worse after that.

boy1 — “See? Even she doesn’t trust you.”

boy2 — “You act like some savior.”

vihaan — “At least I don’t manipulate people.”

boy1 — “Stop acting like a hero.”

boy2 — “You just want attention.”

The VC was chaos.

People were talking over each other.

Some were defending him.

Some were confused.

Some were just enjoying the drama.

And in the middle of all that…

My phone vibrated.

A notification.

Discord System Message

“You cannot send messages to this user.”

He had blocked me.

My chest felt heavy.

Everything felt blurry.

I didn’t care that people were dragging my name into the argument.

I didn’t care what the server thought.

The only thing stuck in my head was one thought.

I betrayed his trust.

I was about to quietly leave the VC…

When suddenly a random girl’s voice cut through the chaos.

girl — “Honestly this whole fight started because of her.”

Another voice laughed.

girl — “Yeah seriously.”

Then she said the word that finally broke me.

girl — “Such a hoe.”

For a moment my hands trembled.

I wanted to respond.

I wanted to defend myself.

But I didn’t.

Instead…

I simply left the voice channel.

After that night…

I disappeared from the server.

For almost a week.

The owner tried contacting me.

My friends messaged me.

But I ignored everything.

I was too tired.

Too exhausted from the drama.

So finally…

I decided to stop going to Backbenchers completely.

But fate had other plans.

Because the story between me and Vihaan…

Was far from over.
