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

Chapter 60: Love, Faith, and the Divine Connection

Nil glanced at Kao, a fleeting curiosity dancing in his eyes before he finally found the courage to voice his query. "First kiss..."

Stranger, his demeanor serene yet enigmatic, met Nil's gaze evenly before replying with a single word, laden with layers of meaning. "Dao..."

A rush of emotions flooded through Nil, a mixture of indignation and betrayal that compelled him to react swiftly. Without a second thought, he found himself seated on the edge of the bed, his words tumbling out in a hurried cascade. "How dare you to kiss someone else..."

Kao's response was measured, tinged with an air of regret as he sought to assuage the rising tension. "It was past..." Yet, his words held an implicit acknowledgment, a silent admission of shared experiences. "You must have kissed someone also..."

In that moment, Nil hesitated, his desire to appear composed warring with the truth he held within. With a nod, he feigned nonchalance, a facade of coolness carefully constructed to mask his own vulnerability. "Hmm, I also had..."

A subtle shift in Kao's demeanor betrayed the simmering beneath the surface, his once placid countenance now marred by a shadow of discomfort. "Hmm...." Though his reply was guarded, his heart churned.

Seeking to bridge the widening chasm between them, Nil tentatively broached a more intimate topic, his voice laced with a thread of curiosity. "Important person in your life..."

Kao's response was swift, the names rolling off his tongue with practiced ease. "Nil and Achara..." Yet, beneath the surface, lay a deeper truth, a poignant revelation of the bonds that shaped his existence.

Eager to delve further, Kao probed deeper, his inquiry veering into the realm of personal sentiment. "Who do you love most?"

With a hint of melancholy, Nil listed the names that held sway over his heart, a testament to the complexity of human emotions. "Mom, Sonali, Kao Neptune..." And then, with a cautious curiosity, he ventured into more intimate territory. "First-time sex..."

Kao's reaction was palpable, a fleeting discomfort that cast a shadow over their interaction. Sensing his unease, Nil reached out, a gesture of understanding and empathy. "Stranger, relax. I was just kidding. You don't need to answer..."

A wave of relief washed over Kao, his features softening as he exhaled a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "I'm sorry..."

Wrapping his hands around Kao's chest, Nil felt a surge of empathy coursing through him. Yet, as Kao's complexion paled, betraying a hidden truth to unburden himself, Nil hesitated.

At last, with a tremor in his voice, Kao found the courage to speak, his words weighted with a longing that had long been suppressed. "Nil, I want to answer..."

Despite the urge to delve deeper, to unravel the mystery that hung in the air, Nil recoiled his instinct for empathy tempered by a reluctance to intrude upon Kao's innermost thoughts. "Stranger, I don't want to know..." With a gentle smile, he sought to convey his understanding.

As Kao closed his eyes, exhaling a weary sigh, a name escaped his lips like a whispered confession, a revelation tinged with both longing and regret. "Miss. Nin..."

Caught off guard by the unexpected revelation, Nil felt a pang of disbelief, his mind struggling to reconcile the truth, "Stranger, don't..."

Kao stood in silence, his forehead glistening with sweat. Nil sensed the sincerity in Kao's demeanor, causing his grip on Kao's shoulder to slacken. He blinked rapidly, a lump forming in his throat as uncertainty gripped him.

In the pregnant pause that ensued, Nil made a tentative motion to withdraw from the bed. Yet, before he could act, Kao's hand tightened around his waist, anchoring him in place. "Nil..."
