The last day of school was approaching, and with it came a question from him—"Who's your crush?" How could I say it was him? It sounded so funny to everyone huh? but my heart was pounding wildly at the thought. Just as I was about to dodge the question, one of his friends teased, "It's you." Even though it was a joke, it was the truth. But I never said a word to him.
A week later, the board exams had begun.
After one of the exams, I was heading home with my friend when suddenly, I heard someone shouting my name, loud enough to cut through the noise of the busy crowd. I turned, and there he was—Sam, the mischievous boy, grinning like always. He waved at me, and I waved back, then turned to continue on my path. After I reached my home, still His voice was echoing in my ears and heart. I blushed for the whole day just thinking about it.
This mischievous boy didn't even spare my mom. He'd call my name when I wasn't around, my mom would say ,"he called you and went back to his own path way,I don't know why?"
She was so innocent to know that he was teasing around.
Finally, the last day of the exams arrived. We celebrated with all our friends, the air filled with excitement and bittersweet goodbyes.
As I looked at him one last time, I waved goodbye to all my friends. The chapter ended there, without him ever knowing how much I loved him. And even though we were parting ways, I knew one thing for certain—I would never forget the love I had for him when I was 15. It would stay with me forever.
We'd share reels with each other, staying connected through social media, our lives unfolding in tiny, silent moments. With every post, every like, it felt like our unspoken bond grew, yet the secret—my secret—remained untouched, quietly buried between us. The truth was never spoken aloud. It lingered there, unacknowledged, just an untold secret that I don't dared to reveal. Just like that the title of the novel become "The untold secret"...
!! The End !!
