Chapter 08: A Day Well Spent

Win's POV

"Bright!! Open the door! We are getting late!"

Yes. This is me shouting from the door of his place trying to get the handsome idiot out of his house to head to Uni. Today is the Orphanage visiting day and if we do not head to the Uni quick, we might miss the bus that our crew is going and will have to travel to the orphanage on our own which will be quite boring.

P'Tul had to attend an urgent meeting which came up yesterday night and asked from the three of us that who will be able pick Bright and Guppi and Davi being my supportive best friends suggested me for it giving some lame excuses for why they can't pick him up. I mean it is not like P'Tul does not know I like Bright so he gave in for those excuses easily.

But Bright is not coming out of his home!! My patience is also ticking as it has been ages since he told that he will be coming out but there was no sign of him until now.

"Bright!!!"

"Wait Win! I will be quick!"

He responded sounding desperate and shouldn't I be the one with that emotion? Oh please grant me patience with my guy...

Minutes passed as I waited for him and now it is all silent. Previously I could hear his footsteps inside but now I don't hear anything at all and that... is starting to scare me.

"Bright... are you okay there?"

I could hear him groan in the next second right after my question and just when I thought something bad might have happened to him, he whined in a tiny voice

"I can't find my shoes..."

Oh man...

I slap my forehead instinctively and then his voice comes out again almost sounding like he is about to cry.

"I removed it here yesterday when I returned back from your place but now it is not there...."

My heart melts at his voice as he is complaning like a kid and he sounded so desperate which made me realize I should put things right soon before he starts to feel upset about not being able to see.

"Hey... can you open the door? I will help you to find it."

I say softly and he replied with a soft okay and then I could hear his footsteps approaching the door. Just like he can walk around the Uni just fine, he has mastered his house and the only problem is the stairs because he tends to trip a bit sometimes.

The unlocking sound of the door was heard and soon the door knob turned to reveal a Bright with tousled hair, scrunched up face and teary eyes...

Oh no no no... calm down Brighty.

"It was there! Now it is not! I just wanna punch something! I am so angry!"

He is not angry. He is upset. I know.

"Why didn't you tell me before? We would have found it sooner..."

I say gently holding his arm and getting inside the house and closing the door behind again

"Why should I?! It was supposed to be here and I was supposed to find it!"

He snapped at me immediately and though it made me flinch a bit and felt like my heart was being snaked down with the tip of a knife, I ignored everything because I know where this is coming from. He is just so angry with himself when he shouldn't be.

"I get it..I get it... it's okay. We'll find it now."

I say, gently rubbing his hand from my fingers and his face darted towards the floor. I kind of want to pinch his cheeks but this is definitely not the right time.
