In a small town surrounded by the gentle shade of riverside trees and the melody of birdsong in the mornings, an ordinary school stood where Raju and Mitali studied. Raju was a quiet and studious boy, always immersed in his books, while Mitali was lively, cheerful, and everyone’s favorite. Though they were classmates, they rarely spoke to each other.
First Meeting and Friendship: The First Chapter of Raju and Mitali’s High School True Love Story
One day, a book fell out of Raju’s bag during class. Mitali picked it up and said,
“Here’s your book. You’re always lost in your books. Do you even know what’s going on in class?”
Raju smiled shyly. From that day on, small conversations started between them.
The following week, the teacher assigned Raju and Mitali to work on a science project together. At first, Raju hesitated, unsure of how he would spend so much time with Mitali. But as they worked on the project, they realized they made a great team. Mitali was creative, while Raju was hardworking.
After the project was over, Mitali said one day,
“You’re pretty good, but just a bit too shy, you know?”
Raju smiled softly and replied,
“You talk too much. If you were like me, it wouldn’t be this much fun.”
Their conversations gradually blossomed into a deep friendship.
The Beginning of Love:
On the school picnic day, everyone was sitting by the riverside under the cool shade of trees. It was a serene and picturesque setting. Mitali pulled Raju aside and asked,
“Why are you so quiet? Say something.”
Raju simply looked at her. Mitali urged again,
“I want to hear you talk like a friend.”
Raju, feeling a little shy, replied,
“I like talking to you, but do I always have to talk?”
Mitali smiled sweetly, a blush of shyness on her face. At that moment, Raju realized a special feeling was growing in his heart.
From that day onward, their bond deepened beyond friendship. Sitting together during lunch breaks, secretly passing notes, and walking home together became part of their daily routine.
Family Opposition:
One day, Mitali’s elder brother saw the two walking together near the school. Furious, he confronted Mitali at home,
“Mitu, why are you spending so much time with that boy? Don’t you know this is unacceptable in our family?”
Mitali’s parents also became strict about the matter, saying,
“You know our family’s status. This relationship can never happen.”
Meanwhile, Raju faced similar issues at home. His parents told him,
“They’re rich. A girl from such a wealthy family doesn’t belong in a simple family like ours. End this relationship.”
Both Raju and Mitali were heartbroken. Their hearts filled with sorrow, but they were determined not to give up on each other.
Changing the Family’s Perspective:
Raju and Mitali decided they wouldn’t bow down to their families’ objections. One day, Mitali tried to convince her mother,
“Mom, Raju is a genuinely good person. I know he loves and respects me. I don’t want our lives to be hindered by old societal rules.”
On the other hand, Raju spoke to his father,
“Dad, I know you worry about our family’s future. But I can’t imagine my life without Mitali. Please give us a chance.”
Their words gradually started to affect their families. One day, Raju’s mother spoke with Mitali’s mother. Both mothers realized that their children’s happiness mattered more than their own egos.
After months of effort, Mitali’s parents finally accepted their relationship, saying,
“If you truly love each other, we won’t stand in your way.”
Mitali’s Brother’s Reaction:
However, Mitali’s elder brother Ranjit wasn’t ready to accept the situation. He fumed,
“I’ll never agree to this. That boy is ruining Mitu’s life!”
Fueled by anger, Ranjit gathered a few of his friends. One day, as Raju was returning home from school, Ranjit and his friends cornered him on the road. Ranjit yelled,
“Stay away from Mitu, or you’ll regret it!”
Before Raju could respond, they pushed him to the ground and started beating him.
Courage and Resolution:
Raju fought back with all his strength, trying to protect himself. Just then, Mitali arrived at the scene. She shouted,
“Dada, stop! What are you doing? If Raju suffers because of me, I’ll never forgive any of you!”
Ranjit froze at Mitali’s words. Seeing her tears and trembling voice, he hesitated. Mitali pleaded,
“Don’t you want my happiness, Dada? Raju loves me, and I know he’ll never hurt me.”
After a moment of silence, Ranjit finally said,
“If this is what you want, then I won’t say anything more.”
The Outcome:
After this incident, both families fully embraced Raju and Mitali’s relationship. On their last day of school, Raju and Mitali stood in the school courtyard, gazing at each other. Holding Mitali’s hand, Raju said,
“I’ll do anything for you. No one could separate us.”
With a sweet smile, Mitali replied,
“You’re the best decision of my life, Raju. We’ll always be together.”
Final Message For Lover:
This story teaches us that love is not just about feelings; it’s about courage, trust, and standing up against all odds. Family opposition and societal rules may challenge it, but true love always triumphs in the end.
