That night, Shuvo called Pari again, and they started talking.
Shuvo was almost twelve years older than Pari. So whenever he said something romantic, Pari would feel shy and fall silent.
Even though Pari was eighteen, she was not as clever or experienced as many other girls. She was very simple and innocent by nature. Shuvo understood that she was feeling shy, so he didn't push further.
They talked about simple things—college, work, and their daily lives. After talking for a long time, they finally hung up. But even after ending the call, both of them kept thinking about each other.
After hanging up, Pari sat quietly on her bed, lost in thought. Remembering Shuvo's words, she smiled to herself.
She thought,
"This boy from the city is truly different… I've never felt like this before."
The next day, Shuvo dressed up in a stylish T-shirt and went to the hills.
On the other hand, Pari also got ready for college, wearing her uniform and dressing up a little. She had already told Shuvo to stay a bit بعيد from the college and come about an hour before it ended.
Right on time, Shuvo waited in his car at a distance from the college.
Pari also arrived at the right time.
As soon as Shuvo saw her, he stepped out of the car and looked at her with a warm smile.
When Pari came closer, Shuvo opened the car door for her. But Pari hesitated—she was feeling scared and unsure.
Gently holding her hand, Shuvo said,
"Don't be afraid. Get in the car."
Pari replied softly,
"It's quiet here… let's just stand here."
Shuvo said,
"Look, you're wearing your college uniform. If someone sees us, it might create problems. Please don't be afraid—get in the car."
Pari thought for a moment. He was right—if someone saw them, it could cause trouble.
With a mix of shyness and fear, she slowly got into the car.
Shuvo closed the door and sat in the driver's seat, a soft smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Pari's heart was beating fast.
