Chereads / Bulbs That Did Not Glow / Chapter 3 - Red Letter Day

Chapter 3 - Red Letter Day

Today in the morning assembly speech was given. It was not any unusual event of speech being delivered. Yet somethin' utterly eccentric took place with Riven...🤔🤔

The speech was in continuation when instead of noticing the spoken words, Riven noticed the girl who was speaking. Her immense glow attracted his heart to her. The girl was Siduri Drako!

(Huh! Nevermind the name is a bit disastrous yet the girl pursues it) It was an unusual feeling for Riven since he hadn't experienced it beforehand.

The assembly came to an end for spark of the feelings Riven had grew to an extent of a small fire. He had certain attributes of Trustworthiness, Loyalty, Truthfulness, Confidence and excellent communication skills. Yet when it comes to a conversing with an anonymous girl these abilities seem to disappear immediately. And now it was girl whom he likes....🤯

Yesss!! You heard it right!! Whenever he is asked the reason how, he is speechless yet when it comes to time he recalls that assembly morning. Finally few weeks later, he mustered up the courage to greet her. Few minutes prior the meet he had pages to speak but as soon as he met the pages sumed up to a single greeting, "Hi👋🏻!"

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

The entire last week was spent by him practising this, consulting his friends, rehearsals (Isn't that humorous???) and what not. But now it seems like the friends feel drained of joy.

"I told him to start by cool breath but her look hacked all our settings in his system to its default!!"

"I agree with you."

"Do you think he would be able to go further??"

"Yeah maybe but not for sure!"

"Huh! I see"

"Hi! SSSS...iduri"

"Hey! Umm... Riven??? If I am not wrong..."

"Yeah yeah that's that's right, you got it right(Sighs)"

"So what brings you here, Riven?"

"Actually I had somethin' to say you but I am not sure how would you react later after that... Cos it's a serious one..."

"Okay..., you may continue I won't mind I assure you!"

"I ... I ..."

"Yes, you..."

"I LIKE YOU!!! The day I saw you speaking in the morning assembly, I simply got attached... I ... I don't how, when, why did this happen but this is just what I have to say!"(Releases breath and hurries off quickly)

Siduri was puzzled with the words of Riven. She could not deal with what Riven just said yet her brain drifted towards this as the moment kept attacking occasionally.

One day during interval Siduri tried to reach Riven but he was not found anywhere...🤔🤔 She again tried to contact him the next day but he was again found nowhere. Actually Riven was on regular leave since that day as he was suffering from a high fever. The moment Siduri heard this she recieved another shockwave amd reached the park where Riven arrived daily with his dog in the evening. As Riven came there he witnessed Siduri, hoping his arrival.

Hiding his presence, he tried to return when Siduri caught his presence.

"Can we talk just for 5 mins, if you don't mind??"
