Rai's Love Story
Chapter 1: A Summer Afternoon That Changed Everything
It was a calm Saturday afternoon, the kind of summer day that felt warm but gentle, with sunlight
spilling lazily through the windows. Rai sat in her tuition class, chatting quietly with her friend while
their books lay open, pages filled with lessons waiting to be learned. The room smelled faintly of pencils
and chalk, a peaceful cocoon of ordinary life.
And then, the door opened.
A boy stepped in, his presence subtle yet impossible to ignore. He wore a mask—he had a cold that day
—but even behind it, there was something about him that made the room feel suddenly brighter. His
green t-shirt and black jeans caught the soft afternoon light in a way that made him seem almost like
he had stepped out of a daydream.
Silu's eyes, almost against her will, were drawn to him. She couldn't look away. From the top of his head
to the tips of his shoes, she drank in every detail, every movement. There was something about him—
calm, quiet, yet magnetic—that made her heart skip, as if it had recognized a song it had always known.
In that fleeting moment, the ordinary Saturday afternoon transformed. Her world tilted ever so slightly,
and she felt it—a flutter in her chest, a spark that made her think, without understanding why, this boy…
he feels important.
And just like that, in the quiet warmth of a summer noon, rai fell in love
