A tremor of fear gripped Nil as he clutched the sheets wrapped around him, his eyes scanning the desolate cabin. The eerie emptiness was punctuated only by the haunting cries of a distant fox. Chanting the name of Lord Krishna, he sought solace in the repetition of "Krishnaa... krishna..."Abruptly, the room plunged into darkness as the electricity failed. Cold shivers ran down his spine, and his hands and feet quivered in the pitch-black void. Murmuring to himself, he anxiously uttered, "Where are you, Strangerrr? Please come soon, come soon!!"In the oppressive silence, the only audible sound was the rhythm of his own breathing, a hushed symphony of "Shhh...hhh...shh..." Suddenly, he felt an approaching presence, a set of feet drawing near. Overwhelmed by fear, he swiftly discarded the sheet, fleeing from the bed and into the open.With Stranger's name on his lips, Nil hurried outside, where he noticed the shadow of someone advancing towards him. Gasping, he acted on instinct, rushing towards the silhouette and, without second thoughts, closed his eyes and clung to it desperately. In a frantic, breathless stream of words, he pleaded, "Plzzz, save meee, plzzzz, there is someone, plzzzzzz."After a brief moment, a familiar voice reached his ears, soothing and melodious, "Nilll, calm down, I'm here." Relief washed over Nil, and though his grip relaxed, he continued to hold onto Stranger. A few seconds later, Stranger remarked, "Nil, your ice cream will melt."Finally hearing Stranger's voice, Nil offered a smile, calming down while still maintaining the embrace.Resting his head on Stranger's chest and clasping his hands around Stranger's robust back, Nil inquired with a hoarse tone, "Why didn't you hold me?"Gazing at Nil, Stranger responded politely, "How could I hold you?"With arms locked around Stranger, Nil slowly lifted his head to find Stranger standing in a titanic pose, holding ice cream in both hands. Their eyes met in mutual acknowledgment. After a brief moment, Stranger suggested, "Nill, don't you think we should go inside?"Nodding in agreement, Nil continued to cling to Stranger. Politely asking for some space, Stranger urged, "Mr. Qing, please leave me a little." Unyielding, Nil maintained his embrace. Stranger insisted, "At least hold one ice cream."In a trembling voice, Nil expressed, "I only want to hold you, Stranger." Sighing, Stranger kept hugging Nil as they entered the room. Placing Nil on the bed, Stranger searched for a candle. Nil, still gripped by fear, scanned the surroundings. After a diligent search, Stranger located a candle, lighting it and placing it on a side table alongside another by the bed. Retrieving his mobile phone, Stranger dialed a number, prompting Nil to inquire, "Strangerrr, who are you calling?"Stranger responded, "To the manager." After a while, the manager answered the call, greeting politely, "Sawat dee kharup, Sir, how can I help you?"Identifying himself, Stranger addressed the issue in a stern tone, "Kao Neptune speaking. What a useless service you have given; there's been no electricity in our cabin for fifteen minutes. What are you guys doing?"The manager, explaining the broader outage, was interrupted by Stranger's firm query, "How long will it take?"With trepidation, the manager replied, "The generator is too big..."Stranger, cutting him off, asserted, "I wanted to know how long it would take."The manager, hesitating, stammered, "Hmm, 30 minutes..."Stranger demanded, "25 minutes."The manager, taken aback, queried, "Whattt..."Stranger warned, "If it doesn't work out in 25 minutes, it won't be to your liking." Abruptly ending the call, the manager frantically attempted to communicate, "Hlwww, Kao sirrr, hlww..." Turning to the technician, he conveyed in a hoarse tone, "Do that in twenty minutes; otherwise, Kao Neptune will cost me my job."As Nil reclined on the bed, his gaze fixed on Stranger. When Stranger approached, offering ice cream, Nil accepted without hesitation, engrossed in his quick consumption. Seating himself beside Nil's feet, Stranger delved into his laptop, examining a presentation.While Nil indulged in ice cream, his eyes remained on Stranger, who remained absorbed in his work. Suddenly, Nil, with a spoon in his mouth, spoke in a soft tone."Strangerrrr..."Stranger, still engrossed in the laptop, responded with a casual "hm.""I'm sorry, Stranger, I made a mistake in waking you up," Nil confessed.Stranger, continuing to focus on the laptop, advised, "Take the spoon out of your mouth and speak; it's a bad habit."Nil complied, saying, "Hmm, by the way, Stranger, I was not afraid. It had been a long time since you were gone, so I went to look for you.""Hmmm," Stranger acknowledged, still absorbed in his work."What? Hmm, see, Stranger, now you're insulting me," Nil remarked.Stranger, smiling but fixated on the laptop, responded, "Yeah.""Strangerrr..." Nil began, a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Because you have such a beautiful and hot boyfriend. Full-headed hair, dimpled cheeks, two big almond eyes, and such a hot figure."Stranger, still focused on the laptop, smiled and acknowledged, "Yeah.""Strangerrr," Nil persisted.Turning off the laptop, Stranger inquired, "Nill, what do you want me to do now?" Nil lowered his head, then raised it with a smile, suggesting, "What about a dance?"Stranger pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
