Invitations

12

Pavel fell asleep in the middle of reviewing his lessons. It was sunday evening and Dome was still not back.

No calls and messages were exchanged during the weekends so Pavel patiently waits for Dome but he ended up sleeping.

He was alarmed with the click coming from the entrance. He sat up and saw Dome.

"You could have called me so I was able to pick you up." Pavel said and Dome game him a tired smile.

"You were studying?" Dome asked and Pavel smiled happily.

"Yes. I was able to understand something too!" He brags and Dome ruffled his hair.

"That's good to hear. You should study on your own for a while. I'll also be sleeping here for a while and do not open the door no matter what happens. Wait till morning." Dome said and Pavel wanted to protest but chooses not to.

He knew something was going on and Dome needs a lot of space.

"Okay. Good night Dome." Pavel said and Dome nodded.

"Yeah. Night." Dome said and placed his pillow and blanket on the couch.

Pavel entered their room and closed the door. He laid on the bed. He tried sleeping but he was not able to sleep because he keeps on thinking about Dome who was outside.

It was around one or two in the morning when he heard cries.

Yes, Pavel was unable to sleep a wink. He stood up and went by the door. He will not open it. He will just stood there and listen to Dome cry. His chest hurts as he heard those painful cries.

"Guess he really loved her." Pavel said and sighed.

He wondered what happened but still choose to keep silent. He will not ask Dome anything about Nid. He feels like he doesn't have the right to do so.

Pavel hopes that will happen only for that night but boy he was wrong, Days had passed and Dome still cries during past midnight and sleeps at the living room.

"What the hell did you do to my future wife? Just how horrible of a person are to you make him cry lile this?" Pavel asks the photo of Nid.

He was fuming.

He wanted to comfort Dome but at the same time no. He needs to give Dome the space he needs and he feels like he was the one who interrupted the Dome-Nid relationship.

He was really stressed with his studies, requirements and the school stuffs and lastly his issue with Dome.

If he had the choice to cancel the wedding then he would gladly call it off. He was in the way in a relationship and it hurts him too.

Pavel knew Dome would leave really early in the morning so Pavel got up early to see Dome's face in the morning. It was five in the morning when he went outside the room and saw the look on Dome's face. He looked really stressed and tired but he acted as if he didn't saw it.

"Good morning." He greeted Dome who smiled a little.

"Good morning." He said silently.

"Are you going to the search later?" Pavel asked and Dome shrugged.

"I don't know. It depends." Dome responds and Pavel makes breakfast for the two of them.

Dome left around seven while Pavel left around ten. Dome was in the library studying his ass off while Pavel was helping in preparing for tonight's event.

Ben and Earth were having lunch together and they were randomly talking about a lot of stuffs.

He recieved a text from Pavel and smiled sadly.
