Chap 18:
Part 1: The secret!

Zayn’s P.O.V

The two girls - Mihrap and Bella - were getting closer. And we were so lucky beacause Mihrap could cook as well as Bella. Mihrap seemed to like me very much. She usually came to clean my room every দিন and cooked the খাবার I liked. Bella could realize that easily and kept teasing me all the time about it. These days, she was full of energy and laughed all the time. Seeing her happy made my mood better. Bella was like the sunshine of my life.

Then they all went swimming but I didn’t because I was really scared of water. Before going, Bella told me to fix the lock of her wardrobe. So then I was trying as much as possible to fix it. I had no idea about fixing such these things but I just did it for her.
“Oh, perfect” I yelled when I finally opened it.

But at that moment, my হৃদয় couldn’t beat any longer. I felt breathless. I saw a ছবি in her wardrobe - the ছবি of me and Belly when we were 6 in Hawaii. I took the ছবি out of the wardrobe and I realized that Bella was Belly - my first love.
“Why is this earth so small? Is it the destiny that makes me meet Belly and প্রণয় her again?” I asked myself millions of questons.

I saw under the ছবি was a big box. I took it out and opened it. In the box , there were all our mementos: the নেকলেস I gave her before I went away, the letters we wrote for each other, the headband I gave her on her 6th birthday, the gardenia jasminvides. I put on her dress our first prom,…. Everything reminded me of a lovely Belly that I used to প্রণয় আরো than myself.

Little Zayn’s P.O.V

That দিন was the last দিন I spent in London. I was going back to পাকিস্তান the পরবর্তি day. I didn’t tell Belly anything. I didn’t want to see her cry.
“Belly, I have to go. I don’t want but I have to.” I talked to myself, standing in front of her house.
While I was putting the letter into her door, suddenly there was someone hitting my back rudely.
“What the hell is that? Handsome?”

When I was about to hide the letter behind me, Belly snatched it from my hand.
I shouted:
“No, Belly! Please don’t open it”
Closing her cars to my words, she opened the letter. As I expected, not until she finished পাঠ করা the letter, she burst into tears.
Belly ran away in tears. I immediately ran after her, shouting:
“Belly, please listen to me. Belly!”
But she didn’t stop. I had to run as fast as possible to catch her. Finally I touched her arm and held it tightly to prevent her from running away from me again.
She sobbed:
“Zainy, how can আপনি do that to me? Why? আপনি hate me?”
I teared up a little:
“No, Belly. আপনি know I…I…I……I really প্রণয় you.”
She still cried very hard:
“You promise আপনি will protect me fot my whole life. But now আপনি are going to leave me! Who do আপনি think I am? How can I live without আপনি Zainy?”
I hugged Belly tightly:
“I don’t believe আপনি any longer. আপনি never keep your promise I hate you, Zainy.”

I cried too:
“I don’t know when I can come back to see আপনি but please believe me this time. I will be a singer as my dream and আপনি can find me easily. Don’t forget me, Belly.”
She hit me:
“Zainy, your are really leaving me? How can I forget you? How? Please tell me.”
I hugged her আরো tightly:
“I will never forget you, Belly. In the nesxt 10 years, when I’m famous, I will ask আপনি to be my girlfriend again.”
After that, I took the নেকলেস with a four-leaf clover, which I made for Belly out of the envelop. I gently made her to wear it. I whispered:
“Never take it off, Belly. It will give আপনি luck for all your life.”

Then I gave Belly a soft চুম্বন on her lips. That was our first time and the only time she ব্যক্ত to me that she loved me.
