The soulmates 2

The proposal

Pran dressed up as fast as he could and ran after Pat. He came downstairs and saw that Ms. Noor was back. 'Where are you going Mr. Pran?', she asked. Without answering her question, Pran inquired, 'Did you see Pat going out of the house? Where did he go?'.

Noor: No, Mr. Pran. I just reached. But he wasn't supposed to get out of the house. He hasn't recovered yet. I shouldn't have left. Now his parents will be fire me....

Pran: Don't worry, Ms. Noor. I will go and find him. He will be fine. Can you call him once?

Ms. Noor called Pat but his phone was switched off. Pran then called Keith and asked if he had any idea where Pat could have been. Keith wasn't sure but he suggested Pran to visit the nearest beach where Pat usually went to drink and chill at some bar which Keith couldn't name. Pran reached there as soon as was possible and started asking people whether they had seen Pat, showing them his picture but in vain. After searching for Pat for a long time he finally went to one of the bars on the beach and ordered a drink. He was exhausted and put his head on the table trying to ease his discomfort. 'Hey, Mico, give me one piña colada and a glass of water! It's hot out here!', said a voice which sounded familiar to Pran. He lifted his head up and saw that it was Pat. 'What are you doing here? Mico, I don't want any drinks anymore. See ya later!', said Pat who was shocked to see Pran at the bar.

Pran: I have been looking for you everywhere. What is wrong with you?

Pat: What's wrong with me? What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you have to follow me everywhere?

Mico: Guys, please don't shout over here. Here are your drinks. Sit down and chill for a bit.

Pat: Shut up Mico! Ask this guy to leave right now!

Pran: Pat, you are mad.

Pat: Says the one who is stalking me like anything. I am done with you. Just get lost.

Pran: Why should I? You can leave if you have any problem.

Mico: Could you just stop arguing and have your drinks? Here, I am giving you complementary drinks. Now chill.

Pran decided not to talk to Pat for a bit, enjoy his drink and walk on the beach. Pat was having his drink as well and chatting with Mico. 'Is he your friend? Why haven't I seen him earlier', asked Mico. 'Can we not talk about him? He is not that important.', Pat replied in a furious way. 'Okay! But whatever you say, he seems very important to you! You like him, don't you?', Mico couldn't help but tease Pat. 'Shut up! Otherwise I will throw this drink on you!', Pat warned and Mico decided to focus on preparing drinks for others. 'Okay, did I tell you about what happened yesterday...?', he continued talking to Pat about this and that. Pran was looking at them and he noticed Mico checking Pat out sometimes. He was surprised to see that it wasn't that tough for Mico to make Pat laugh. After sometime, he saw that Pat was leaving and he still had a difficulty in walking. Pran rushed and held his hand, 'Why are you doing this? Trying to make me feel jealous?', asked Pran.

Pat: What? First of all, you don't have to help me walk. Second, what did I do to make you feel jealous?

Pran: This.... I mean Mico and you? A thing?

Pat: What? He is just a friend. And why am I even answering you!

Pran: He was definitely checking you out!

Pat: There are a number of people who like me! So what? Do I have to like them back or should I sleep with everyone that likes me? Huh? I am not you, Pran!

Pran: That's not who I am. I didn't sleep around. I briefly dated Sean and that's it. I could never love him Pat. It's always been you and only you. Can't you just stop taunting me and give me another chance?

Pran sat down on the sands, crying his heart out. Pat felt a bit sad as he saw Pran crumbling like never before. 'Pran! What are you doing? Get up!', Pat pulled him by his hand. 'It hurts!', Pran whined. ' You are weak! That's why. Tell me why are you suddenly behaving like a child?', asked a worried Pat. 'I just want you to forgive me! Like I have forgiven you for what you did to Kai', Pran couldn't come up with anything better. 'Really! You know what, you won't ever change! As I told you earlier, us being together isn't a good idea!', Pat was a bit dissapointed at this point. 'Pat, stop! Please. Listen to me!', Pran exclaimed as Pat was walking away. He bent down on both of his knees and wailed, 'Isn't this enough? Then what is? What do I have to do to make you forgive me? I came all the way just to say that I am sorry. I will follow you everywhere you go, until you accept my apology. You will have to, Pat!'. 'Stop it, Pran! Stop this drama! People are laughing at your stupidity! Get up and leave!', Pat yelled as he stopped and looked back. 'I don't care if they are! I only care about you..... Marry me, Pat! Will you marry me? I love you like noone else can! I will die without you! Marry me!', Pran burst into tears. Pat couldn't help shedding tears as well, his eyes turned red. He was shocked as he never expected something like this to happen and that too in front of all these people. This is the worst situation he could have ever imagined for Pran or anyone to propose to him. 'Marry, did he say marry?', Pat mumbled as his heart started racing like crazy.

How do you guys think, Pat will react now?

Don't you think same-sex marriages should be legalized everywhere? #lgbtq+ 🌈

* Actually there should not be any gender restrictions in marriages.

Author's short note.

I wrote Pran's character as a confused, raw, ambitious, emotional and dramatic one. Pat was immature, confused and stubborn initially but gradually his character was shaped to be a rational one. I personally loved writing Pran's character due to its unpredictability but people may hate him like we judge others without knowing their emotional struggle sometimes.
