Bangladesh to Thailand: The Journey of Nil and Stranger's Love [BL]

Chapter 24-Suspended in Time

Seated at the elegantly set table, Kao awaited Nil's arrival with an air of anticipation, his features etched with curiosity.

"Nill, where have you been? I've been waiting," he inquired upon Nil's arrival.

Nil, his voice tinged with skepticism, countered, "Don't pretend you were simply waiting. You were lost in a world of your own with that Lava."

Detecting a metaphorical fire in their exchange, Kao remarked casually, "Something is burning; I can smell it," as he leisurely reached to unbutton Nil's shirt. "Let me see."

Pushing Kao's hand away defensively, Nil retorted, "What are you doing? We're in a public place. And jealousy has no part in this, alright. Let's focus on why you summoned me here, and..."

Intrigued by Nil's demeanor, Kao prodded further, "And what?"

With a firm tone, Nil questioned, "Strangerrrr, do you truly value my bracelet more than me?"

Kao, with a nonchalant air, replied, "Yes, any doubts?"

Nil, now with a sharp tone, pressed on, "Then why call me when you could easily summon that bracelet?"

A soft smile graced Kao's lips as he teasingly responded, "Are you suggesting you're envious of your own possessions?"

Nil, dismissive, scoffed, "Jealousy isn't even in the equation."

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Kao interjected, "Let me see..."

Caught off guard by the sudden turn, Nil stared at him annoyingly.

Before the banter could escalate further, a waiter emerged, presenting a beautifully decorated cake adorned with the proclamation "6 months of Love" at its center.
 

In the midst of festivity, Nil and Kao stood shoulder to shoulder, the vibrancy of the celebration painting the air with an infectious joy. At the center, a resplendent cake awaited, beckoning to be shared in honor of their accomplishments. As they joined hands to slice the cake, a chorus of laughter and shared delight reverberated through the room, a testament to the bonds they had nurtured.

Amidst the jubilation, Nil turned to Kao with a sparkle in his eye, his voice tinged with reminiscence. "You know, Stranger, when I was unsure about heading to Thailand, I never anticipated finding something as extraordinary as this... If I had known you were waiting, I wouldn't have hesitated to leave Bangladesh behind for 19 years..."

Kao, taken by surprise, chuckled softly. "Hold on, weren't you 18 just moments ago?"

Nil countered playfully, "Well, I can't remain 18 forever, can I?"

Kao sought clarification, "No, I mean your birthday. You never mentioned it."

"How could I? We barely knew each other when I arrived here on February 2nd, and my birthday was on the 18th," Nil explained, attempting to ease the situation.
