Reza a delivery boy and the only child in the family gets constant nags by his parents to find a life partner and start a family. Not that he doesn't want to but he wants to enjoy his single life till the fullest. But deep inside he do feel lonely and getting hooked up isn't a bad idea after all. Maybe his parents will stop nagging. Those constant nags, shapes his idea of an ideal woman. Someone who is quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, most are taken (according to him).

His friend introduced him to a girl and he chat her up on facebook. Here's the tricky part. Will he sound desperate? Is that desperation caused by his liking to the girl or to just get his mother off his back?

The next tricky part, this girl, Alliya Maisara.. hmmm.. she's very pretty. Why is she entertaining this desperado? She can get any guy she wants but why is she entertaining this Reza guy? Well she doesn't entertain as much as Reza hope for. She replies and then disappears and when Reza seems to give up hope, she replies again. Is she carrying a baggage of her own?

So where is this going?

Well, you have to watch and find out. 

As for us, it sure brings back memories of chatting up a stranger. The thrills, the cringe, the urrghhh and the waaahss... I'm sure many of us did it once in our life or at least heard about friends who did it. Don't deny! I heard of all these since MIRC days! MIRC, Alamak chat, MSN, Friendster, Facebook, you've heard them all. 

So do come over and experience this again. It's free admission. Just a text away from booking your seats.
