Zul, known for his calm and collected nature, had always admired Mizuha's strength and resilience from afar. He felt compelled to offer his unwavering support, silently observing her struggles and silently rooting for her. Zul's words carried sincerity and conviction as he encouraged Mizuha, assuring her that she was stronger than she believed.
During their conversation, Zul disclosed a surprising connection to Mizuha. Before this, he revealed that he and Elly were childhood friends, sharing cherished memories and experiences that had brought them closer.
They made their way to the serene garden, finding a quiet spot to sit and gather their thoughts. Mizuha couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and curiosity as she waited for Zul to begin.
Mizuha looked at Zul with curiosity. "Zul, what did you want to talk about? You mentioned something important."
Firstly, Zul expressed deep gratitude for Mizuha's intervention and praised her bravery in saving Elly from bullying earlier. This revelation deepened his admiration for both Mizuha and Elly. He also thanked Mizuha because be friend with Elly. Zul bit worried if Elly can’t make friends during her high school years, as she didn't make a single friend in middle school due to her shyness. She ended up hanging out with Zul instead of the girls in her classroom.
Mizuha replied, "I see. I didn't know that happened to Elly in the past. Anyway, you should not worry. I and Shimizu will stay friends with her. I will make sure that she gathers more friends in the future." Zul expressed gratitude to Mizuha for that.
After that, Zul hesitated for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He looked into Mizuha's eyes and took a deep breath. "Mizuha, there's something I need to share with you. It's about my feelings for Elly."
Mizuha tilted her head, waiting for Zul to continue.
Zul continued, "Well, the truth is... I've realized that I've developed feelings for Elly. But I haven't had the courage to tell her yet."
Mizuha listened attentively, a gentle smile on her face. "Zul, it's wonderful that you've discovered your feelings for Elly. She's an amazing person. I believe you two would make a great couple."
Zul looked at Mizuha with surprise. "You... you think so?"
Mizuha nodded. "Yes, Zul. You and Elly have a special connection. I can see how much you care about each other. It's evident in the way you both interact and support one another."
Zul's eyes widened, a mix of hope and nervousness filling his heart. "Do you think Elly feels the same way about me?"
Mizuha smiled warmly. "Zul, I can't speak for Elly directly, but I have a strong feeling that she has feelings for you too. There have been moments where she has shown a deep affection for you. Perhaps she's just waiting for the right time to express herself."
Zul's heart skipped a beat, a mixture of excitement and relief washing over him. "You really think so? I've been afraid to ruin our friendship."
Mizuha reassured him, "I understand your concerns, Zul. But sometimes, taking that risk is worth it. If your feelings are sincere, it's important to communicate them. Honesty and open communication are the foundations of any relationship."
Zul nodded, a newfound determination in his eyes. "You're right, Mizuha. I need to gather my courage and have an honest conversation with Elly. Thank you for your support and understanding."
Mizuha smiled, her eyes shimmering with warmth. "You're welcome, Zul. I believe in you and Elly."
After Zul left, Mizuha reflected on their conversation. She thought to herself, "Actually, I already know about Elly's feelings for Zul. She confessed them to me earlier, but she's shy about telling him directly. I must talk to Shimizu about this."
Mizuha sat down to talk with Shimizu about Zul and Elly, a determined look on her face. She leaned in closer, speaking softly but earnestly. Suddenly, Shimizu told Mizuha, "I have an idea. We need to help Zul and Elly overcome their hesitations and confess their feelings to each other."
Mizuha nodded, intrigued by Shimizu's proposal. "I'm all ears, Shimizu. What do you have in mind?"
Shimizu smiled mischievously. "Let's arrange a meeting for them in the park tomorrow evening, but we won't tell them the real reason behind it. We'll create an atmosphere that encourages openness and honesty."
Mizuha's eyes lit up with excitement. "That sounds like a wonderful plan! How should we go about it?"
Shimizu leaned in closer, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "We'll invite Zul and Elly separately to the park at the same time, without revealing the other's presence. Once they arrive, we'll create opportunities for them to interact and spend time together. With the right setting, they might find the courage to express their feelings."
Mizuha nodded, her own excitement growing. "I love it! It's like a romantic movie plot. We'll need to be discreet and observe from a distance, ensuring that they have the space they need."
Shimizu agreed. "Exactly. We're just the catalysts, Mizuha. The rest is up to them. We'll provide the stage, but they'll have to take the spotlight."
The next day after school, Mizuha messaged Zul, letting him know that she needed to meet him at the park in the evening. She did the same thing with Shimizu, sending a message to Elly that she needed to meet her at the park as well.
As the evening approached, Zul arrived at the park. He looked around, expecting to see Mizuha waiting for him. However, to his surprise, it was Elly who stood there, wearing a gentle smile. Perplexed, Zul approached her, curiosity evident in his voice. "Elly, what are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to meet Mizuha."
Elly's expression mirrored his confusion. "I'm in the same boat. Shimizu was supposed to meet me here, but she hasn't arrived yet."
Zul furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of the situation. "That's strange. I wonder why they aren't here."
Just as confusion lingered in the air, both Zul and Elly's phones beeped simultaneously, signaling a message. They exchanged glances before checking their messages. Zul's eyes widened as he read the message from Mizuha, while Elly's cheeks flushed as she read the message from Shimizu.
Zul broke the silence, his voice laced with surprise. "Mizuha says she won't be able to make it today. She apologizes and mentions something about unexpected circumstances."
Elly nodded, her voice filled with a mix of confusion and amusement. "Shimizu just messaged me too. She suddenly got another plan today and won't be able to make it. She apologized and said she would send another friend to replace her."
Zul and Elly exchanged bewildered glances, their thoughts racing to decipher the situation. In their minds, a question arose simultaneously — could it be that they were the "friends" mentioned by Mizuha and Shimizu?
The realization washed over them, leaving them both shocked and unsure of what to do next. The park suddenly felt full of possibilities and uncertainties as they contemplated the mysterious turn of events and the hidden intentions behind the unexpected replacements.
Accepting the unexpected turn of events, Zul and Elly decided to make the most of their time together. They explored the town, enjoying each other's company and gradually deepening their bond. Zul's emotions grew stronger with every shared moment, and he found himself unable to contain his feelings any longer.
In a quiet moment while strolling through the town, Zul found the perfect opportunity to express his feelings to Elly. With a deep breath, he mustered the courage to open up his heart to her. As they walked side by side, Zul's voice filled with sincerity and affection.
"Elly, there's something I've been wanting to tell you. Your kindness, your gentle spirit, and the way you brighten up my days... They have all captured my heart. I admire you more than words can express."
Elly's cheeks flushed with a mix of surprise, joy, and nervousness. Her eyes met Zul's, and in that moment, a flood of memories from their shared childhood rushed back to her. She realized that her feelings for him had been growing, evolving beyond the boundaries of friendship.
With a shy smile, Elly gathered her courage and reciprocated Zul's confession. "Zul, I... I feel the same way. More than just friends, my heart has been drawn to you. You've always been there for me, and I've cherished our bond."
Overwhelmed with emotions, Zul couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude towards Mizuha. It dawned on him that Mizuha had known about Elly's feelings all along and had kept their secret, providing them with the opportunity to discover their love for each other. This realization deepened his admiration for both Mizuha and Elly.
Filled with determination, Zul and Elly made a silent vow to nurture their blossoming love. They knew that challenges might lie ahead, but they were committed to supporting each other, just as they had supported Mizuha and Shimizu through their own journeys.
As Mizuha and Shimizu watched their friends from a distance, they felt a surge of joy and relief. Their plan had succeeded, and they had played a small role in bringing Zul and Elly together. Seeing the smiles on Zul and Elly's faces, they knew their efforts had been worthwhile.
With Zul and Elly now a couple, their friendship circle expanded, forging an unbreakable bond among the four of them. Together, they faced the ups and downs of high school, supporting each other through triumphs and hardships.
Little did they know that their journey had only just begun. As they ventured into new experiences and discoveries, their unity would become an unshakable force, helping them overcome obstacles and find true happiness in the depths of their hearts.
