Chapter 34 - "Met For First Time"

It's nearly around 5:00 o'clock evening Fabio with his other teammates were doing their training regime. He with his teammates were doing a rondos session together at that Ale just called him as he wants to talk to him. Fabio went to his coach and Ale just asked him about Paulo.

"Fabio I heard from Dario that last Paulo stayed at your house, is that true ?" Fabio nods his head and said.

"Yes.. Yes Coach that's true. Is there any problem ?" Ale replies him normally.

"No, No there is nothing like that. Actually I just want to ask is there any problem with him is there is something unfortunate happened to him last because of it he stayed at your house last night." Fabio didn't wanted to tell his coach about what happend with Paulo last night for the sake of Paulo's self esteem and lied to his coach.

"No coach ! there is nothing to be concerned about, actually I had invited him to stay at my house for few days." Ale at first didn't believe on that and asked

"Are you telling me truth ? I mean is that's the case." Fabio stayed calm and said.

"Yes Coach everything is just fine, there is nothing to be worried about." Ale after hearing those words from him made him finally believe on Fabio and allowed him to go back and train with his teammates. Fabio goes back to his teammates for his rondos session and after completing his rondos session he went to Dario to ask that why he told the coach about Paulo.

"Hey.. Dario can I know that why you told our coach about Paulo and why you said that he was staying at my house last night ?" Dario explains him.

"Before you came for training the coach was asking about him and I told him that he was staying up at your house last night did anything went wrong ?" Fabio then tells him.

"Man listen its not right that you are telling coach about him like that when you don't know what exactly happend with him." At that moment the captain Cilo Eincho arrives and questions.

"What happened to Paulo is he alright ? Is there anything unfortunate or something with him ?" Fabio then tries to handle the situation.

"No captain everything is fine, I called him last night to stay at my house for few days there nothing that serious. It is Dario who is portraying it as serious matter." Dario with akward look at Fabio was making gesture asking him that really is he making this matter serious and Cilo Eincho then believes what Fabio said suddenly a sound of shaking of cage at the boundaries of ground started as Cilo Eincho turns to look who is it he saw it was girl and that girl was Catherine. Catherine looking at Cilo Eincho points her finger at Fabio and asked him to send him to her as she wants to talk to him. Cilo Eincho tells Fabio that the girl there is calling him, Fabio turns to look out, he saw Catherine for first time so he couldn't recognize her. Fabio goes to her so that he could get to know who exactly she and why she was calling him. Fabio reach to her and said.

"Well honestly I think this our very first time that we are meeting, can you introduce yourself to me first." Catherine speak to him for the first time.

"Yeah you are right we are meeting first time, well my is Catherine and I am Paulo's friend." Fabio was delighted to know that she is Paulo's friend, he greets her.

"Oh... You are Paulo's friend it is so great to meet you." Catherine thanks him for his polite gesture towards her and said.

"Well thank you so much am also great to meet you as well. Um.. I want to talk to Paulo can you please send him here to me please." Fabio then tells her.

"Well I would love to help you out but unfortunately today is not here he is having his day off from the training session today." Catherine gets sad to know that Paulo is not here she thanks Fabio for giving his time to her and then start to go from there but Fabio stops her and says.

"Well if there is something really important and if you really want to meet him then you could wait for half an hour after training session ends, he is at my house I'll take you there if want me to." Catherine was now happy to get know where is Paulo, she agrees to Fabio and thanked him for helping her.

It's 6:00 o'clock evening Catherine is waiting outside the training ground for Fabio, Fabio driving his car arrives and then asked her to get in the car. Catherine sits inside the and then Fabio drive his car back to home. During their way back to home they both start to have a conversation together. Fabio starts the conversation by asking her.

"So how long you've been friends with Paulo ?" Catherine answers him.

"Well we were friends since our childhood, we both studied in the same school and right now we are also studying in the same college as well." Fabio was little surpised that they are friends for such long time.

"Wow I am impressed by the fact that you both are friends for such a long time, seriously even I don't have any friend of my childhood." Catherine was little bit feeling that he is not Italian by his accent so she asked.

"Well are you from Italy or somewhere else ?" Fabio smiles a bit and answered.

"I know why you asked this question, because of my accent right." Catherine nods her head and Fabio tells her exact birthplace.

"No I am not from Italy I am actually from Spain, my home is in Bilbao I am just here because I am playing for Parma CF you know the team right ?" Catherine says.

"Yeah I know the team and why not Paulo is the huge supporter of this club, he is supporting this club since he was just give year old." Fabio was delighted that Catherine know about him so much.

"Well you know everything about Paulo I guess you both are very close to each other." Catherine nods her head and said.

"Yeah we both are neighbours as well." Fabio then jokingly says.

"Well I thought that I might be the only true friend but no I was wrong there is someone else who knows about him more than I could." Catherine said.

"No.. No its not, I mean you are also a true freind of Paulo, you given him shelter at your house at this point nobody usually does this. Well i want to thank you that you helped Paulo." Fabio tells her to not to thank him.

"You don't need to thank me at all since I am his freind it is my responsibility as well to help him in his difficult time, you also helped him a lot in his tough times as well." Catherine just said yes to it but she was feeling really ashamed of herself about what she did to him.
