3rd Person's POV

Finally after exams Pavel and Dome went to their own homw, again in their own cars on their own.

The engineers cannot leave the university for a day or two for next semester they are no longger on the spotlight.

And they will leave the responsibility to the new hazers and leaders.

Domr drove alone.

So he is quick at the bus stops and fastly drive.

He reached home earlier than expected so his parents are still not home.

His nanny helped by other staff of their house. His things are taken to his room in the big house. While his personal bag is taken with him in his litle house.

The pictures that was used as decoration  are stilk there.

But Dome was frozen when he saw the box. On top of his bed.
He walks towards it.

He have ovrrview of it.

But seeing ig on top of his bed.
There must be a purpose why it is there.

He saw the note on top of it.

Dome,
There is a riddle inside the box that only you or Pavel can solve it.
Mae.

The box is 10 inches tall.
He never knew that Pavel have all the keys to open it.

He remebered ahat Grandd said.
"You can only open it, when the right time comes. When you finally found what your heart wants."

Even if it is not Pavel, their parents  will tell them how to open it. Because they know how it works.

Dome sut on his bed and opened the box.
He statted reading the letters and was smilling.

At the bottom of the letters it has a note, attached to the box.
Looking at the bpx, it so shalllow insid3 but outside it is tall.

He poured it down. Apl the pictures and letters and drawings fall on the ground.
But one note is glued inside.

Grandchildren,
We never. Cheated on your grandmas.
We ended it when we get married. But also we never keep it a secret from the them.

Grandpa.

Dome removed the glued note and 2 more holes, shape of the ring individually.
He can never open it without Pavel.

Anyday Pavel will come.

He put the last note bavk and placed all the letters and notes back.

He then, placed the box safely on it itw original place hidewn in plain sight.

He took his phone.

Love, did you reach home?
Call me if you do please.
Texts from Pavel.

He looked at his watch more than an hour has passed.

He is about to call.
But Pavel is now calling.

"Hi love" he answered sweetly.

Pavel cleared his troat on the other line.

"Did .. did you .. reached home already?" Pavel asked in a wierd voice.

"I am sorry na.. i di nit inform you na... " Doke said with his softest voice.

Pavel cleared his troat on the side,

"It was an hour when i arrived na, it just the box is on top of my bed, and i disvoveed something but it needs both of us to open it." Dome said.

Pavel again cleared his troat.
