Chapter 44 - Philippe X Nile II

You?

If I fall, I will fall for you

____

White tulips bouquet- 'I do believe YOU will love it.'

We were younger when he recently opened Facebook ID and got so many requests. We accepted each. We texted them and they texted back. We didn't care whether he or she was unknown. We just had fun. And yeah thus some love creats also. Which isn't much awkward to think. We call it 'Online love.' Though it looks awkward to listen but sometimes it remains longer. It remains so real. It shows in how many ways a love can be done. How much longer it stays. The efficiency somehow it creats help for some relationships to be stable. Stable for one more time too.

"How can you feel about anyone if you don't even see him?!" Richardson got shocked when he heard Nile is getting mad about something awkward. "Love can't be done by looks." Richardson expressed like what he has heard now?! "Nile, it's enough. I am going-" "Wait, Richie. I was hoping that you would be the one, who will be supporting me in each step. And now- now you're pacing off?" Nile feels disgusting, wishing to leave the place before him. "It's not even a HELP you need, Nile. Just stop showing teenage behaviours, you don't suit." Richardson yells at him before leaving the place. Nile sat back until he left.

"Who is he?"

Early morning, Shield Sheffield cricket is running behind. Though Western Australia secured their way on final. And everybody knows they are going to win the cup one more time and fans often comment- Boring! The players don't care, never gave value.

Philippe was one of the best players in WA. He knows his time is at the end with WA. He has a little wish in one corner of his mind to fo NSW. Never showed, never expressed. As we all have some bad characteristics, we may know, if we are wise, we don't express. We hide it but we never remove it. Like us, Philippe has one too. It sounds normal but deep down, it sounds ridiculous. He loves to text unknown persons! He never faced unknown feeling or emotion working on his back for himself. He never felt different feedbacks for them. He keeps it like a crazy zone. He never bored.

He was scrolling his Facebook feed and clicked on one of the profiles, showing as suggestion. He commented- 'Who is he?' Expressed like he got a crush on the profile pic. He sends a friend request and text him- HI.

_______________________

Nile didn't care about what Richardson told him. He gets some disgusting sites for him and he tries to ignore Richardson. He knows love can't be done by looks so what is Richardson's problem?! He lets it go. Only he can feel some kind of weird thinking and he is going to achieve it. He never wanted to lose the opportunity. He already confirmed that he is coming. So he has no other option.

It has been a promise.

Days are going,

Philippe remains happy all the time as he got the new side to apply on. He doesn't worry about others. He is glad at his own zone.

- So you are not going to tell your real name?

- First you go.

- You first.

- Wait, let me ask something first.

- Go

- Did you actually get a crush on me when you first saw my pfp?

- Ah! Yeah. Why? Ig you're handsome.

- I am!!!!

- I know. But when are you gonna tell me that you have something on me?

- You think so?

- I do believe YOU HAVE. I told you I have a crush on you and yeah I like you. But you never expressed :(

- Hah! You're acting like a child. Okay, let me find a way.

- Couldn't catch.

- When we will meet, I'm gonna tell you my feelings.

- Ah! When?

- You say.

- Next week, Ah, Sunday?

- Sure.

_________________________

Philippe and Nile got divorced literally months ago. They even forgot each other totally. He even behaves as if they never had each other. They find their own ways on individual lives. They know it's not how one gets things. They just showed that when perception works sometimes. Though they got married quickly but they never lived like husband-wife. Even a tiny problem never left their way. They never managed, they never helped each other.

That's why Richardson yelled at Nile like-  It's not even a HELP you need.

Waiting on a table, the front chair is empty, it literally forty minutes passed. Philippe's temperature is rising. But he never wants that. He slipped his phone out of his bag and dial the number. After three rings, he picked it up.

- Sorry, traffic.

- Soon. Am waiting. 40 passed.

- I'm coming. 2 to 3 minutes.

- What will you take? Spice or desert?

- Your wish. I can eat everything.

- [laugh] I ordered pizza, wedges and cake. I will celebrate.

- Jesus!

- And yeah drinks.

Okay, I'm coming.

Minutes later,

The food has come already but no sign of him. Philippe clenched his jaw. He again picked up the phone,

- Now it's been enough.

- Wait, wait. I'm here searching you.

- Ouh. I'm on 1st floor.

- Oh. I am on fourth! Wait, I'm going down.

- [Philippe can hear the big steps what made his laugh]

- Slowly. You will fall.

- No no no. Not now. If I fall I will fall for you.

- [Shied] Okay. I will keep my eyes on you.

- Yeah on 1st floor. Wave your hand.

- I will do it later. First you search me.

- As you say.

Philippe tells as joke and he rotates his head around. Waiting for seeing someone is searching him madly. He asked,

- What you wear?

- Ah! White shirt.

- Ouh, I see. I see no one.

- I'm waving.

- Ouh wait wait I see one but-

- YOU SEE ME?! Where are you?

- Ahm! Wait wave again... [A cold air suddenly flies across Philippe's mouth]

- I'm waving, am waving.

- It's you!

- Where are you? [Shouts]

- Nile?

- Y-yeah! You know me?

- [Hanged the phone]

- [Looks at Philippe, dropped the lotus bouquet]

"Philippe?" Yells, but Philippe didn't listen. "It was YOU?" Nile got something close to hear attack. He never imagined the person with whom, he was sharing his feelings and feedback, was no one but Philippe? His ex-wife?! He closed the distance and reached the table. "Nile?" Philippe lost his words. He didn't know what to say. Neither Nile knows.

What would they do? Spend the moment like they had each other once? Left like before? Gonna feel something was between their conversation? Some hidden feeling was between the words? Express that life is a circle?

Or finish the chapter like before?
