Chapter - XXVII PROFOUND

"Adrian!?"

Litwin rushed towards the guy with his tear-stained face. He turned the person around only to be faced with Carl.

Carl raised his eyebrows and asked "How can I help you? Are you alright?" Carl panicked seeing Litwin's pink nose and puffy moist eyes.

Twil came beside Litwin and stopped Carl from asking further. "Congratulations Carl. Treat me later okay?" she said pulling Litwin away from the spot. Litwin quietly let Twil drag him.

"Lit. Are you alright? Did you see Adrian?" Twil asked in concern. Litwin's bottom lips quivered. Twil quietly took him in her embrace and patted his back. Litwin silently cried in her embrace.

After a few minutes, Litwin released himself from her embrace. Twil looked at him. His eyes were puffy and his nose was red while his face was in a shade of pink. She may sound like a psychopath but at that moment she found Litwin adorable even though her heart wrenched.

"Feel better?" she questioned him while he nodded his head looking down. "So did you see Adrian or you mistook Carl's physique for Adrian?" Twil asked carefully not wanting to make Litwin sadder.

"I probably mistook Carl for Adrian, I think." Litwin said looking into his palm. Silence filled the air.

Litwin and Twil started walking when she found Carl sitting on the swing they were seated on previously. Twil tiptoed towards him and quietly placed her hands behind the swing and gave it a push.

"What in the world?" Carl shrieked falling flat on his face. Twil laughed at him with Litwin beside her. Litwin shook his head at her childishness and extended his hand.

"Here" Litwin offered. Carl accepted and got up from the ground while Litwin looked at Twil who was still laughing. Carl brushed the dirt on his knees. Litwin faced Carl and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Carl shook his head and continued dusting. Litwin noticed something on Carl's elbow.

Blood.

Blood was dripping from his wound. It dripped to his wrist where a bracelet was worn.

The friendship bracelet looked exactly like what Litwin wore. Carl raised his head and faced Litwin and only at that moment Twil's common sense returned. It was not the same white suit which Carl wore when they met a few minutes ago but some other clothes.

Litwin's lips parted and his eyes widened pulling the other guy into a bone-crushing hug. "I m sorry Adri. I m sorry." Litwin mumbled while Adrian patted Litwin.

Relief and happiness were the prominent feelings Litwin felt. His happy tears followed continuously while Twil watched the reunion.

Litwin broke the hug and looked at Adrian's face. There was a small band-aid in the temple. "How are you Adri? We missed you so much. Are you hurt? How are you here?" Litwin questioned concerned.

Adrian sighed and asked "I m sorry. Who are you? Do you know me?" Litwin gulped and he nodded furiously. "I m your best friend. We are from another planet." Litwin tried to make Adrian remember.

Adrian looked at Litwin weirdly and laughed out loud. "Nice one buddy. I ain't no Adri. I m Ethan." Adrian explained. "Ethan!" Rachel called out.

Rachel came towards them and looked at them quizzically. "Are you alright Litwin?" Litwin nodded and she turned towards Ethan. "Ethan. Why did you come out of your room? I know you have some insane recovery power but can you not roam like this?" Rachel said worriedly.
