Nathan was wise enough to know when he should stop being curious and should use his smartness. So, as Oliver wasn't ready to talk about that stranger he decided to change the main character of that topic and dig out some information about the same topic but in a different way by asking curiously, "What about her that kind of expression??? I mean, why did her facial expressions change so drastically after seeing his face???"
"It's the expression when you meet your old acquaintance face to face after a long time but can't express your happiness as you intend to because instead of the happiness one ends up showing the vulnerability of emotions which is seemed like sadness or hatred.", said Oliver casually with a forced smile.
"What??? Acquaintance??? Happiness??? What are all these now??? Buddy, they were seen each other as the predator and the prey. Where that guy had the sly and joyous expression that a predator has after catching his desired prey and seeing it's struggling to get itself free from his clench, what Aurora had was like the helpless prey that has only hatred and disgust towards the predator who caught her when she was off guard for a moment. So, the thing between them seems more like an enmity than a friendship. Are you trying to mean that they are some kind of enemies by the word of acquaintance???", exclaimed Nathan confusedly.
"Hmm, bro, you are indeed a wise guy. Even though I didn't explain it properly yet you caught the right point that was hidden in my words. Yes, they are enemies and maybe more than that. This guy is someone whose existence is the most unbearable thing for her to bear and she will try her best to erase his existence if she gets an opportunity. They are like 'snake and mongoose who are enemies forever'.", said Oliver while being lost in his thoughts.
"Was it from the beginning???, asked Nathan.
"No, they were good friends. I can still remember how good they looked together but in the end, he betrayed her.", said Oliver while sighing with condolence by recalling the old days.
"What a guy!!! Were they lovers or something???", exclaimed Nathan out of curiosity but the thought that both of them were involved with one another through some kind of titles like lovers or they were involved with one another romantically was giving an unfamiliar ache in Nathan's heart.
"Don't know for sure but there was a rumour a long ago that they were involved with each other in the romantic way and it was a hot topic that time but at the end, it just turned out to be a shipping of people, nothing more. So, it was just a rumour, nothing more than that and they were clearly just friends but not lovers. Actually I don't know much about that past as during that time I wasn't available in the school for months when those incidents took place because I was on a long sick leave.", said Oliver while patting Nathan's shoulder.
"Hmm…", Nathan nodded while his head was filled with so many questions that he wanted to find answers but didn't dare to.
"But when I came back, I heard it from almost everyone as it had spread around like wildfire. At first, I was confused about it as well as astonished to hear something like that the moment I returned back to school. So, I went to Ophelia, one of her best friends to know more about the situation and then asked her frankly about those messy atmospheres which were surrounding the school. As a reply, she said that it was just a rumour that came out because of the misunderstanding for them to be spotted together at the school most of the time or due to their names being always linked together during various activities after one another and most importantly, the best reason for all those rumours to be formed was that everyone used to ship them as an idol couple all the time. Obviously, it was also true that to look at them or to picturized them together as a lovely couple was something too pleasant for eyes as they were a perfect and idol couple who were well matched with one another with every aspect from looks to studies.", said Oliver while there was a slight curve on the corner of his lips like a hidden smile after finishing the last lines of his words by recalling those faded memories in the diary of past.
His that slight smile while being lost in those faded memories were indicating that Oliver might also be one of those shippers who used to illustrate Aurora and that guy from the playground together as an eye-catching perfect couple.
Nathan was getting more confused about the relationship among that stranger, Aurora and Oliver including their friends. At first, he thought that Oliver hated that guy and couldn't stand him but the positive smile and his expression that he was having at the end of his sentences was quite misleading as it was indicating that Oliver didn't have any personal enmity with that boy and maybe somewhat he used to get along with him before.
He was getting more messed up in his mind by thinking about whether Aurora too was like Oliver or she had a different story and also his curiosity to know the reason for them to fall out in that way even after being so close to one another was growing more and more.
So to clear the messy conclusion in his head Nathan interrogated Oliver, "Then how did they fall out to be the enemies???"
