episode 4-color

His voice sounded weary and anxious,Not like the usual him at all.I waited for him to say something but he remained quite and it went on that way for a minute or so.I don't know what I felt that time.Perhaps a jumble of annoyance and worry.

If he isn't planning on saying anything then let me make the first move.

-I thought to myself.

And just as I was about to say something,I could vaguely hear his soft cries.The sound of him silently weeping which sounded so hazy,one could hardly hear it.

I was aghast at what I was hearing-

'Hello?Felix!Are you okay?!What's going on there?!'

One could easily perceive the worry in my voice.

'Felix!!Answer me!'

Once again,I didn't know what kind of emotion I felt back then.It was petrifying.When did I ever feel this way?My heart felt heavy.

Just as I was about to repeat myself,I could hear a voice.A voice of a familiar person.No,it was familiar yet distant.It sounded so...so...obsecure.I didn't have any other way of defining it.My mind became clouded.

'Blue'

I let out a sigh of relief.

He sounded normal again.

'Felix.What happened?'

This wasn't what I intended to ask him.

Originally,I had many questions in my mind which I wanted him to expatiate about but something stopped me.

He paused for a second then went on-

'I'm sorry for worrying you,blue'

His voice had a bit of disappointment in it.

'I was just so happy'

-He continued.

I was befuddled.

'Happy?why?'

-I asked.

'because you answered me.'

Once again,I was addled and couldn't help but ask

'what do you mean?'

He let out a light laugh and said

'Because you weren't replying to my texts since an hour ago,I couldn't help but grow worried.'

I-

I didn't have anything else to say.

My mind was so muddled at this point that I couldn't help but think of the possibility that either something was wrong with my phone or he was pranking me.

But then again,he sounded too serious to be lying so I checked my phone and the moment I did,I could literally die of embarrassment.

Turned out my data was off.No wonder his texts weren't reaching me!How stupid of me to overthink so much and even plan of going abroad!

'hello?Blue?'

As soon as I heard his voice again,I felt so bad for him and wanted to apologize.

'Oh my God,Felix I am SO SORRY.'

I went on to explain the whole situation to him and the moment I completed my explanation,he started laughing the next minute and so did I.

'this whole thing is my fault.I'm really sorry'

I was extremely uneasy with the situation we were in.

'hey now!Don't sound so distant eh?How do you plan on making it up to me?'

I chuckled and told him to decide.

I thought he'd probably ask me to buy him something childish,maybe almond jellies like he did back in high school.

'Well,Spend the next Sunday with me and let me treat you to a fancy restaurant'

I wasn't expecting that at all.I wanted to say something to reject him but I could literally hear the expectancy in his voice.

'Give me a minute to think about it.I'll send you the answer in text'

-I told him.

'No,you have to answer me now,I'll fall asleep if you don't'

I looked at the time and it wasn't even midnight yet.

'seriously?'

I sneered at him.

'Yes.Seriously'

I expected him to sneer back but he sounded really serious.

After a minute of pondering over whether I should go or not,I finally gave in and reluctantly agreed to spend the next Sunday with him.

His reaction was priceless.It was like he could cry anytime but I somehow stopped him and jokingly told him to go sleep now that he got the answer.

Unexpectedly he replied with 'yes ma'am' and hung up on me.

I was kind of irritated by that but I was was also sort of looking forward to Sunday after all that trouble.

Just as I was about to doze off,the sound of him crying suddenly rung like a bell in my head.

It was really kind of disturbing now that I thought about it.

Never mind,I'll ask him on Monday.

-As I said these words to myself,I closed my eyes and slowly started to fall asleep.

I could feel a vague color seeping in my monotonous life.
