"A Request"

Paulo after a heated arguments with Catherine came back to his room he was so upset by the fact that he really broke the promise which he made to her before. Now he is left nothing but just full of regrets only, he is feeling very much unpleasant as he had to face her best friend's warth and hatered but Paulo still hopeful that Catherine will forgive once he try to make her understand about his situation. He saw Catherine out of his window as she changed her party dress and dressed up in her normal night dress as she was looking to sleep Paulo tries to get attention he throws some paper made balls at her window. Catherine after hearing that came to her window and saw standing at his window and holding his ears making a gesture of apology but she didn't do something instead she pulled on her curtains and set off lights.Paulo after getting that cold rejection from her goes to his bed with full of disappointment and melancholy and went to sleep.

Next morning Paulo wake up at 7:00 am normal time goes into the washroom gets himself ready for the college but still in his mind all those things which happened last night were coming again and again. Inside his head he was still getting an image of disrupted and dejected Catherine as he was feeling that he really betrayed her by breaking his promise, he decides that he is going to tell her everything about what happened last evening and then he'll ask her to forgive him. Paulo after getting himself ready for college comes downstairs to have his breakfast. Kesi is cooking breakfast for the family, Fabian after having his breakfast already left for his work while Cara is sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper. The moment when he sit down at the chair literally nobody really paid any sort of attention towards him. It was clearly looking that both of them are quite upset from him.

"Well... Good morning." Paulo greets both of them.

"Good Morning." Catherine replied but with low voice while Kesi never said anything in reply of it.

"Ok so you both are still angry to me about what happend last night hmm ?" Paulo asked Kesi and Cara.

"So ? by the way we're just upset with you but there is someone who's very much furious upon you, she don't even want to talk about you." Kesi said to him.

"Umm... you both are talking about Cathy right ?" Paulo asked.

"Then who we're talking about ?" Kesi replied in very taunting way.

"Don't worry I'll apologise to her today for my mistake." Paulo assured them.

"Don't just apologise to her but also thank her if she even forgives you because what you did last cannot be forgiven." Kesi scolding him while stayed silent and took all those words from her mother.

"And you tell me first that where were you last night why it took you so long to come home huh ?" Kesi asked him about his whereabouts while Paulo feeling nervous and better silent in front of her but Kesi didn't let it go easily without getting any answer but finally he decided to give her an answer.

"I was in my college you know all that library stuff." Paulo tried to get away by saying that.

"But yesterday the college were closed then what you were doing in the college library ?" Kesi catches his lie and this time Paulo got no answer to it.

"Paulo you know when your father was not believing the fact that you are working as a librarian and thought you were then I told he should stop doubting you but now seriously even now I also doubting you now, what are you really doing ? What is it ?" Kesi asked him while Paulo was thinking to tell all the truth to her but suddenly he think something again.

"Ok you wanna know, You all want to know where I was last night." It was looking that Paulo was about to tell truth.

"Well last the the father of one of my friend was suffering from lung cancer and he needed me, so admitted his father into the hospital." Paulo obviously lied again to his family.

"Now where the hell this freind came from." Cara said it in a very unfunny way as she believe that there no friend of him who's father is suffering from lung cancer.

"Well he works with me at the library." Paulo replied to her question.

"Paulo I don't know whether you are telling me truth or not and don't want to know about it now but please I want you to reconcile with Cathy she was really heartbroken about last night." Kesi telling him to reconcile with Catherine and apologise for his mistake he made last night. Paulo admits and told his mother that he will apologise to her and ensured her that he will reconcile with her as well.

Kesi greets him with a good day wish as he want out straight to Catherine's house he knocks the door thinking that she might open the door but instead of her it was her mother who opens the door for him.

"Hey Good morning Mrs. Lavera is Catherine in here ?" Paulo asked her about Catherine.

"No she isn't here, infact she gone to college early today I thought you were together, she never came to your house ?" Her mother asked him and Paulo also understand that Catherine is still angry to him about last night.

"Ok thank you Mrs. Levera have a good day." Paulo after saying that left for his college but during his way to home he was still thinking that how he could make up her mind and make her forget about last night Paulo reaches his college he was 10 minutes late as a punishment his class teacher made him to take 15 rounds of the college ground. He went to take the rounds, as he was taking rounds he saw Catherine at the window of her class sitting and studying as she looked out for a while Paulo waves his hand but Catherine totally ignores him while Paulo felt bad about it completes his punishment.
