The Confession of Richy was not at all sudden. Many incidences took place between them that bloomed the flower of love within him. But the most significant was the first incident when they first met each other.
A few days earlier,
Like any other normal day, Richy was reading his Novel named 'Is it love??' and was excited to think that how at last the leads will meet. Will the main character accepts her childhood friend, or will he end up with his first love. While reading the novel he heard a voice from behind saying,
"Hey Richy, tell me one thing were you the one who played the role of Robert in the TV series Family Time that used to AIR a few years back."
The voice was of a girl named Anna, she was a second-year at Tristate and was pretty popular among boys, more-over she was the Lead of Drama Club at Tristate so that gave her a significant person in the college. Richy already knew about her, but it was the first time for him meeting with her.
Richy was shocked hearing that, he didn't expect that someone would ask him this question that too after years later leaving the show.
When Richy was young he was very fond of acting and mimicking, he used to mimic the actors from the movies that he saw and even used to speak the way they do. Seeing Richy's enthusiasm his mom asked her husband to let him act in the TV series.
She said, 'He never asked anything from us, but as parents, we have to provide our child what he wants. Mr John Richard, Richy's father let him act in a TV Series because her wife was at bed rest and she was suffering from a chronic disease. Richy was really happy at that time, he never thought his father would allow him to act like that, but he didn't know the fact that hi bedridden mother insisted for his sake.
Richy's dad let him act for a whole season but then he asked him to leave the TV show since it does not suit there reputation, but the bigger reason was the fact that Richy's mom passed away.
He restricted him from acting and made him study Music and language as extracurricular thinking that he will forget about acting if he engaged himself in other activities. He used home tutors so that he can learn everything at home in luxury but for Richy, it had an adverse effect. He started becoming introverted. But when he started going into grade school, he got the exposer of the outside world. He saw how others play in there meantime with others, how they share their food while messing there hands, how they trick each other and share a peal of laughter. These were all new to him due to his restricted childhood, but that was the time he became rebellious.
He left all his music and language classes, started sneaking out of the mansion to play with others. He started dressing differently, consciously keeping a messy hair to mix with other children of his age because was always presented as tidy and sophisticated, someone of high class which makes others conscious.
After these changes, Richy started becoming more and more social. He became very active in class and sports. Now it was easy for others to interact with him.
One day when he was in 10th grade, as usual, while rushing for his sports practice he smelled the aroma that came from the cooking club He forgot everything and went in the direction of an aroma
There he stopped outside the cooking club, and started thinking,
" What is cooking inside,
Whatever it may be, from the aroma it seems to be delicious.
Let's go inside and see what's cooking."
He noticed that a boy with Light brown hair, and sparkling brown eyes while cooking, and a big smile on his face. With the sight itself, It was obvious that for that boy cooking was his passion.
That guy was one other than Kevin. That was the first time they met.
He went straight into the club room and started investigating the food. He started asking Kevin, what he is cooking and Cn he tastes a bit. Even after Kevin tried to stop him from tasting food since it was his experimental dish, Richy took a spoon, dipped it into the dish and took a bite.
He was mesmerised by the taste of the food.
Later whenever Richy went through the corridor he went straight to the club and have a bite there. Like that they became friends and started sharing things.
Since their stream was the same they end up getting admission in the same college.
