" Hey shyam, you wanna come by our book store today? "
When shyam was on his way back home from school raitha suddenly appeard out of nowhere and invited shyam to her litile book store, shyam did not want to go but his mouth and foots where on a different mode today, although he wanted to say no but still
" Sure, where is it? "
Seeing shyam accept the invitation she gave a big smile and then they started walking to her store which was technically her house too because they lived right behind the store,
The walk from school to her house was almost half an hour, it was on a complete opposite of where shyam lives that made him think what she might was doing in that streat that day, he thought about it for a bit but then he thought people have work everywhere and since she's a book seller who knows if she was on a delevery,
" This is our cute little book store, we sell mangas too ! So if you want to read any manga just come here and I'll try my best to find it for you !"
She had that 8 years old's excitement on her face when she told shyam all that, almost as if a 8 year old has seen someone they like so much , shyam was surprised a 11th grade student can act this way, but he didn't let the surprised expression show,
He just moved his head down with a " hm " and then they both entered the book store which seemed to be closed for today, everything was so peaceful and silent it almost felt like heaven, no hustle of the outside world just the books and them,
" Wait here I'll bring tea for both of us, you can read any book you like while I am gone "
She said with a child's smile and went to make tea,
Shyam started to look around the shop, it was old but was in good shape, the interior was just like a old musium, it was almost like he is in a fantacy school's book library, he was about to pick a random book called
" The hit of romaces " when suddenly a man shauted " who is there ? "
Judging from the voice it seemed the man is 60 to 65 years old,
He put the book right where it was and looked from where the voice came from, he saw a man with white small beards a old man with a book in his hands
" From pixels to reality " it looked like a romance themed book,
Shyam:- " Oh, sorry i should have asked, I take it you are the shop owner "
The old man had no emotions nor expressions on his face, He just moved his head down and up one time, shyam understood that the old man wanted to say yes, then raitha came with three cups of tea,
When shyam noticed the three cups he quickly understood that raitha knew all along that old man was here from the start,
Raitha shyam and that old man sat on a table raitha gave one cup shyam, only then that old man was looking at shyam from an unusual amount of distance.
