The Girl Under The Tree at University of Mauritius

ideko

Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, just after 3 PM…

She sat under the same tree at the University of Mauritius.

Near the Faculty of Law building.

Always alone.

Always quiet.

Sometimes reading.

Sometimes simply watching the wind move through the trees while students passed around her laughing loudly.

Her name was Inaya.

And for almost seven months…

Yash had been secretly in love with her.

Not the loud kind of love.

Not the dramatic movie kind.

The silent kind.

The kind that slowly grows inside a boy’s heart until even hearing her laugh from far away becomes enough to ruin his concentration for the whole day.

He noticed everything about her.

The way she tucked her hair behind her ear while reading.

The way she smiled politely at cleaners and security guards on campus.

The way she carried herself softly.

Peacefully.

Like somebody untouched by the noise of the world.

And yet…

They had never spoken.

Not once.

At University of Mauritius, they were just two strangers passing each other between lectures and crowded hallways.

But every day, Yash returned home carrying feelings he did not know what to do with.

His friends used to tease him constantly.

“Garson… al koz ar li!”

But he couldn’t.

Because sometimes love is terrifying.

Especially when your feelings are genuine.

One afternoon in Réduit, Mauritius was unusually beautiful after rainfall.

The campus grass looked greener.

The air smelled fresh.

Clouds moved slowly above the mountains in Moka.

Students gathered in small groups eating mine frite, talking about assignments, laughing about lecturers.

But Yash barely heard any of it.

Because he had made a decision.

Today…

He would finally speak to her.

His hands were shaking the entire lecture.

He couldn’t focus on anything the lecturer said.

Even his notebook remained empty.

At around 2 PM, while sitting alone near the library, he opened his phone nervously and searched:

Cake Delivery Mauritius.

That’s when he found Cakebury.mu

As he scrolled through the desserts, one thing immediately caught his attention.

Cakebury Eclairo.

Rich chocolate.

Elegant.

Simple.

Beautiful.

Exactly like her.

Without thinking too much, he ordered it immediately on Cakebury.mu

And when the Cakebury delivery rider arrived near the university gates later that afternoon…

Yash almost lost courage completely.

His heart was beating so loudly he could hear it himself.

“Mo krwar mo pe faire ene erreur…” he whispered nervously.

But still…

He walked.

Slowly.

Toward the tree where she was sitting.

Inaya looked up as his shadow stopped near her.

For a second, both froze awkwardly.

The wind moved softly through the trees around them.

Students passed nearby without noticing that two lives were quietly changing.

Yash swallowed nervously.

Then softly said:

“Hi… mo krwar to pas ici souvent…”

She smiled lightly.

“Oui…”

Silence again.

Terrible silence.

The kind that makes your chest burn.

Then Yash slowly showed the Cakebury Eclairo box.

“I… mo ti juste envi partage sa avec toi…”

Inaya looked surprised.

Not uncomfortable.

Just… touched.

Because nobody had ever approached her like that before.

No fake confidence.

No showing off.

Just sincerity.

Pure sincerity.

She looked at the box again and smiled softly.

“Cakebury?”

Yash laughed nervously.

“Oui… mo ti krwar maybe to content chocolat…”

She laughed quietly.

And somehow…

That small laugh erased seven months of fear inside him.

A few minutes later, both sat together on the grass at University of Mauritius while the late afternoon sun slowly painted the campus golden.

No dramatic flirting.

No perfect lines.

Just two shy university students sharing a Cakebury Eclairo in peaceful silence.

Chocolate on their fingers.

Books beside them.

Wind moving softly around the campus.

At one point, Inaya suddenly looked at him and asked softly:

“Pourquoi to fine choisir moi?”

Yash stayed quiet for a few seconds.

Then answered honestly:

“Parceki parmi tou dimounn lor campus… to seul dimounn ki faire moi senti calme.”

Her eyes became emotional immediately.

Because deep inside…

She understood exactly what he meant.

As sunset slowly covered Réduit that evening, they remained there together talking about life, exams, family pressure, dreams, fears, and childhood memories.

Two strangers becoming something more.

And years later…

Whenever they passed near that same tree at University of Mauritius…

They would always smile remembering the day a shy boy gathered enough courage to offer a Cakebury Eclairo to a girl he secretly loved.
