Shyam straight up made his mind he would ask her out once they are back from this school trip.

At the book store of raitha, shyam and raitha both were cleaning up the bookstore. Putting books here to there aligning them together, though every romance book shyam touched reminded him of his purpose of being there.
He frequently looked at raitha every minute or so, she was fully absorbed by her work that she did not even notice shyam sudden glances,
MARCH 5 2021 11:36AM
Shyam had finally gathered enough strength and courage to talk to raitha, though after being a friend for nearly and year now, he indeed was not afried to talk to her. But the current words that were trapped in his mouth waiting for an opening was not something one can say with casual talk.
He came to raitha his hands shaking, his expression was the same as he had when she first talked to him. Afried embarrassed and worried. Seeing him struggle the conversation, raitha decided to give him a push.
" Hmm? You want to say something? Go ahead! I am all in for whatever you have to say ! "
Though her ( always?) positive energy left shyam shocked but remembering his emotions and feelings towards her he quickly cleared his mind,
as he blusted out those unspoken words.
" I.. I have been meaning to tell you for this for a long time now, but I couldn't bring myself to it. But today, today I felt like if I don't say it now, i might naver be able to. raitha, wil.. will you go.. o.. out w.. wit.... With me ? "
His cheeks turned red as he spoke the unspoken, as he expressed his feelings towards raitha. He had expected a turned down. Long before she even spoke or could say anything to him.
He brashed himself to be denied. To be a stranger again, to be alone, to eat alone again in the back of the school.
Though completely opposite of his thoughts, the words that raitha then spoke left shyam frozen, he could not proses what he just heard.
" So, you too hold the same feelings huh. If I had known it before, mabye i would have been the one asking you out today, anyway. Let's! "
She held the same feelings? Unsure of what he just heard he questiones raitha if it was a reality or a dream. " It's the reality shyam, and I am happy in this reality of us both "
She gave a hug to shyam while the tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks, shyam could hear raitha's heart beat, so did she. And from far behind William stood behind the door curtain making sure to not disturb them.
He was glad his daughter had found a man, and not just anyone. Shyam was the son of William's best friend. He could not believe the plans he and shyam's dad had made all night long would actually work and shyam would actually fall for raitha.
Even so, he was happy. While on the otherside a promise was getting made. A promise to stay together even if the world separates them.
Everything happened so fast, or rather so late that shyam still could not believe it was all a reality.
As he walked towards his house, he looked himself in the clear water of the small river which was the separation of both towns. From that day onwards he naver saw the shy and introverted shyam in himself ever again.
As they both faced many challenges along the way.
But they made sure to naver leave each other's side no matter what happens.
And that's when shyam remembered the one thing William told him, when he first met him. Though it was almost forgotten he still kept those words deep within him, for who knows what reason..
** It's a pleasure to have you as my son in law **
Is what he had said those years back.

" How can I forget, THE DAY WE FIRST MET you know I still can't believe it, when you said you would end up with me. I thought you were just joking but you actually were serious huh !. "
Raitha in a white dress looked beautiful under the sunlight that crossed through the windows of the wedding room, her hair shining brighter than the sun itself. As the priest said.
" From now you, shyam the groom shall take every responsibility of raitha the bride. Now you may kiss "
The camera got further and further from the two main characters while they kissed under the sun.
The people who were watching it were the evidence of their unbreakable bond.
The room were full of claps and the sound of them all faded in the background and the screen got blanked, two texts were shown which said.
THE END
This feeling!
