In the breeze of love

During a crucial meeting, Stranger's focus was abruptly diverted as he received a call from Achara. Her distressed voice relayed an urgent message."Ouch brother. I am hurt, please come to 'Kasayapi hotel,' room number 634."Astounded, Stranger stood up, concern etched across his face. He questioned her frantically, "What happened? Are you alright?'''' Weren't you at the campaign? Wait for me; I am coming."Without hesitation, he left the meeting, leaving behind puzzled colleagues. Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Nil and Techno engaged in a conversation that delved into the complexities of their situation.Techno voiced his concern, "Nil, how can you be so cold-hearted?"Nil responded introspectively, "Do you really think, Techno, that I'm the sole cause of what's happening?"Techno clarified, "I never intended to say that, and you know it."Despite the dialogue, Nil remained silent, prompting Techno to express his confusion about the evident love in Stranger's eyes. Nil, in a hardened voice, asserted, "He doesn't love me."Techno persisted, "That's just what you think. Can't you see the pain in his eyes?"Silence lingered, broken by a sudden call from Than. Nil answered, and Than conveyed a message from Sir Kim, urging Nil to visit the beachside hotel room 134 for an introduction.Nil hesitated, expressing his unease, "Than, can't you attend to him? I am not feeling well now."Than insisted, "Nil, if it were possible, I wouldn't have called you. Come on, it's urgent," and promptly ended the call. Nil reluctantly left the cafe and boarded a bus to the 'Kasayapi Hotel.' As the bus moved, his eyes welled up, gazing outside, he whispered to himself,"Stranger, I hate you, hate you, hate you, hate you, hate you."Techno remained on the rooftop, his gaze fixed ahead, eyes moistened by emotions, and his hair dancing in the wind. Out of the blue, Merry approached and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. Techno, recognizing her without turning, spoke with a heavy heart."Why is it that people who love each other can never be together?" he questioned.Merry, understanding his concern for Nil, offered words of solace. "I know you're worried about Nil. Just trust God; He will fix everything soon."Suddenly, Techno pulled her hand and embraced her. Initially surprised, Merry gradually closed her eyes and reciprocated the hug. As they separated, their eyes met in a moment of shared understanding.Meanwhile, Stranger arrived at the hotel, determined to find Achara. Locating her room, he entered and found her on the bed. Seating himself beside her, he kissed her head, expressing concern.Stranger, turning his hand over her head, inquired, "What happened? Are you alright? I will file a case against your college authority. You were their responsibility, and see how you got hurt."Achara reassured him, "Brother, calm down. You're treating me like I'm a baby girl. I am alright now."Insisting on her honesty, Stranger said, "Swear on me."Achara hesitated but eventually replied, "No, it's not necessary. I'm really good now."With a stern gaze, Stranger continued, "I told you I would come to pick you up. Didn't I say?"Achara, with a frightened voice, apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother. I..."Interrupting her, Stranger insisted, "Yes or no, Achara."She lowered her eyes in response.Meanwhile, Than kept a watchful eye on Nil. Upon Nil's arrival, he discreetly signaled to Achara. Recognizing the missed call, Achara understood that Nil had entered the hotel. She informed her brother, advising him to freshen up before their lady teacher arrived.Stranger, initially hesitant, reluctantly agreed. Achara, still upset, stated, "You never hear me. I won't talk to you."Sighing, Stranger relented, "Fine, I'm going," and headed towards the washroom, while Achara emerged from the room.After a few minutes, Nil entered the room, greeted by a simple yet beautiful ambiance. White walls and curtains gently swayed in the soft breeze flowing through the balcony. The table adorned with an array of fruits and drinks emitted a sweet fragrance that filled the room. As they both stood there, astounded by the unexpected encounter, Achara and Than locked the room from the outside.In a surprised exchange of glances, Stranger began to speak, "Achara, there is nothing in my fa—" His words halted abruptly as he noticed Nil's presence.The tension escalated as Achara and Than refused to open the door until the estranged duo reconciled. Desperation echoed in their shouts, "Achara, open the door!" However, she stood firm, emphasizing that her love for her brother compelled her to prioritize his happiness over Stranger's orders.Stranger, frustrated, turned the blame on Nil, claiming, "See what's happened, everything happens only because of you."Nil, unyielding, retorted, "Because of me? Oh really, don't make me laugh. Than, please open the door.''The tension escalated further as Stranger expressed his discomfort sharing the same room. Nil retaliated, "So, do you think I'm desperate to be in this room with you? Open the door; I can't even breathe in the same room with him."In a fit of anger, Stranger slammed his wounded hand against the wall, causing it to bleed. As they left, the setting of the room became evident—it was situated on the third floor, surrounded by green trees and beautiful flowers. Amidst this serene setting, Nil's gaze fell upon Stranger, noticing the telltale signs of blood staining his skin. Without a moment's hesitation, he reached out, intending to lend his aid."What are you doing? Don't touch me," Stranger's voice, though firm, held a tinge of vulnerability.Ignoring Stranger's plea, Nil gently guided him towards the washroom. Tenderly removing the bandage, he cleansed Stranger's wounds with a delicate touch. Throughout the process, Stranger's gaze remained fixed on Nil, silently observing every move he made. Perplexed by Stranger's unwavering stare, Nil inquired, "What are you looking at?"Stranger averted his gaze, feigning nonchalance. "Nothing... you seem rather fatigued. Perhaps someone deprived you of sleep last night," he remarked with a hint of concern.Mockingly, Nil retorted, "Keep talking; I'm not hearing you..."As Nil applied the soothing ointment, Stranger winced in discomfort, his eyes closing involuntarily. "Ouch," he uttered softly.A mischievous smile graced Nil's lips as he teased, "You're still fearful of ointments." He proceeded to blow gently over the injured area, evoking a reaction from Stranger.Suddenly, Stranger's attention shifted to Nil's hand, noticing its swollen, reddened state. Concern laced his voice as he inquired, "What happened to your hand?"Nil evaded the query, offering no explanation. But when Stranger attempted to touch his hand, a sharp "ouch" escaped Nil's lips. The unexpected pain prompted Stranger to take Nil's hand in his own, tenderly caressing his palm. With every brush of Stranger's touch, Nil's heartbeat quickened, a whirlwind of emotions stirring within him. Overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment, Nil swiftly retreated from the washroom, leaving Stranger behind, his heart racing with a blend of confusion and anticipation.An hour passed with an eerie silence between them. Nil sat on the bed, and Stranger, attempting to call someone, struggled to break the persistent silence that hung heavily in the room.In the softly lit hotel room, Achara skillfully disabled the network connection, creating an atmosphere of seclusion. Seizing the moment, Nil playfully teased Stranger, ''What's the hurry? Oh, I get it; Lava must be eagerly waiting for you, right?''Stranger, visibly frustrated, responded, "Yeah, you're right.'' ''But why are you so concerned about it?"A sudden surge of emotion overcame Nil, prompting him to impulsively throw a floor vase, shattering the stillness of the room.Startled and bewildered, Stranger shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"Tears streaming down his face, sensing his distress, Stranger rushed to his side and enveloped him in a comforting hug. Despite the embrace, the realization that Stranger didn't reciprocate his feelings and was involved with Lava hit Nil like a wave. Pushing away from the embrace, Nil declared,"Don't you dare touch me? You've just lost that right."In a sudden and forceful display, Stranger seized Nil's hand, propelling him onto the bed. Assertively positioning himself over Nil, he tenderly cradled both of Nil's hands within his own, gently wiping away the cascade of tears streaming down Nil's cheeks."Why can't you admit it? Why won't you confess that a tempest brews inside you whenever you see Lava with me? Why deny that when I touch you, your heart races? Why won't you just say that you still love me?" Stranger's words, heavy with emotion, hung in the air.Pushing back against Stranger's grasp, Nil reversed their positions, straddling Stranger with determination."Yes, I do. Not a moment passes, not a second, not a minute, not an hour, without thoughts of you. But look at what you've done to me; you were with her," Nil lamented, anguish coloring his voice."Who?" Stranger's confusion was evident, prompting Nil's accusatory response."You know exactly who..." Nil retorted, his emotions boiling over.Stranger remained adamant. "I don't recall. Yes, I was with her, so what? You were also kissing Than," he pointed out, seeking justification.An exasperated Nil countered, "I've said it countless times—something fell into my eyes, and he was merely trying to assist."Stranger's eyes softened, his voice tender as he sought understanding. "Then why assume I was with Lava? I'm not a Casanova. I'm a simple man in love with the most incredible man I've ever known in my life.""Who?" Nil inquired, seeking clarity amidst the emotional whirlwind."You know precisely who..." Stranger affirmed, his words layered with affection and longing.Hearing this, Nil seized Stranger's hands, and their lips were passionately locked in a fervent kiss.He tenderly pulled Stranger's lower lip into an intimate dance with his own, savoring the connection. The tie around his neck became a playful casualty as Nil loosened it, exploring the canvas of Stranger's neck, throat, and chest with gentle bites. Climbing atop him, Stranger reciprocated by shedding his t-shirt.Untying the tie from around his own neck, Nil skillfully used it to bind Stranger's two hands, creating a delicate yet binding connection. As Nil removed his shirt, Stranger eagerly pounced, his hands entwined in the silky strands of Nil's hair, leaving a trail of fervent kisses on his lips, neck, and chest.Nil's moans of pleasure filled the air. Gently descending from his chest, Stranger planted kisses on Nil's tummy before his hand ventured southward, promising an intimate connection that awaited.Stranger skillfully removed his pants, leaving Nil completely exposed before his appreciative gaze. With soft eyes, Stranger took in every inch of Nil's form, a loving gaze that made Nil shyly close his eyes in a moment of vulnerability. A tender smile played on Stranger's lips as he reclined on top of Nil, his voice carrying a soft, reassuring tone, "Nil, I understand your hesitations. Yet, I wish for us to be completely open with each other. I want you to see me as I see you – fully and without any barriers. Let there be no walls, no shame between us as we navigate our shared future."As Nil slowly opened his eyes, he beheld the glistening beads of sweat on Stranger's flexing muscles, a stark contrast to the chill within the room. The droplets traced a path from Stranger's forehead, down his chest, eventually falling onto Nil beneath. Rising above him, Stranger began the deliberate process of removing his pants. This time, Nil resisted the urge to close his eyes, maintaining an unwavering gaze.In an instant, Stranger stood completely exposed before Nil, every inch of his form laid bare. Nil, breathing heavily, found himself captivated. Stranger, now fully undressed, spread Nil's legs and settled between them. Suddenly, he broached the subject."Nilll, don't you think we need something?" he queried.Nil, puzzled, responded, "What?"Stranger, with a hint of urgency, stated, "Lube."After a moment's contemplation, their eyes landed on a small table beside the bed, where the necessary lubricant was conveniently placed. Both were taken aback. Placing a hand on his head, Stranger voiced his displeasure, "Your Than has spoiled my gentle little sister."Nil, sitting up with a touch of sternness, retorted, "Whattt, my Than? Do you want to fight with me again?"In a slightly aggressive tone, Stranger responded, "Can't you see? My sister kept Lube here for me. What do you want, how should I react?"Nil burst into laughter, causing Stranger to question, "What? What's funny in it, Nil?"Suppressing his laughter, Nil pulled two of Stranger's cheeks, remarking, "You look so cute when you become possessive of your sister. I know you're Achara's brother, but you must admit she's an adult now."Stranger exclaimed, "I know, buttt."Rolling his eyes, Nil continued, "What? Okay, we won't use it."Stranger, with a hand on his cheek and wet eyes, declared, "Buttt, Nil, you will suffer a lot. And you know, I can't hurt you."With his face close to Stranger's, Nil spoke in an extra soft tone, "I can understand your feelings. And Stranger, I want punishment for staying away from you for so long."Stranger hesitated but ultimately refused him. Nil embraced him, whispering, "Not even I begs you?"This time, Stranger yielded. Nil wrapped his arms around Stranger's neck and gently guided him onto the bed. With Nil's arms securely around his neck, Stranger began to kiss him, their bodies intertwined so closely that there was no room for even a breath of air to slip between them.No tumult, no harrowing encounters – only the purity of love prevailed. It unfolded like the serene and unhurried convergence of a river into the bosom of the sea. Waves cascaded, repeatedly stirring Nil's emotions.The room embraced an encompassing silence, broken only by a gentle hum. Today, the two found themselves entranced in the intoxicating dance of surrendering to each other. Barriers vanished; Nil clutched Stranger's back while Stranger, akin to a seasoned sailor, held Nil's waist – at times with fervor, at times with tenderness.Tears cascaded from Nil's eyes, Stranger's gaze tinged with a reddish hue.In a gesture akin to a parched traveler savoring a long-awaited drink, Stranger delicately placed his lips upon Nil's cheek, sipping away his tears. In that profound moment, he enveloped Nil in a profound embrace, succumbing to the embrace of sleep.
