Chloe was on a video call with Hugo and was telling him about her next plan.
"You know of those scenes in films where a girl slips and the guy catches her before she falls and then her hair floats and they spend time looking at each other?" she explained with a mischievous grin.
"What are you planning to do?" Hugo asked crossing his arms.
"It's going to happen in this house today," she replied fiddling with her hair confidently.
"That's a plan. I remembered almost the same thing happened to us you know. " he smiled remembering the past.
"Okay, but ours is a different scenario. You were busy calling my name from upstairs and I was searching for who was calling me. When I finally saw you, I slipped and someone caught me. " she defended.
"I know but when you fell who were you staring at? meeeee." he pointed at himself.
"I know. So romantic right? That's why I'm going to make it happen to my brother and Juliet."
"You know ours was a coincidence?"
"Don't worry they won't know, they'll think it was a coincidence ."
"Okay, okay. What's the plan?"
Juliet and her brother always go out to the balcony upstairs and downstairs every night and come back at exactly nine o clock. Also, Juliet always holds her hair with a pin at night, so I gave her a pin but the pin is broken and I begged her to wear it today for me. Juliet enters her room at least five minutes before her brother does so when she enters today, it would be a memorable night for her.
"I want to see what happens," Hugo requested. Since he got together with this girl, he gradually got influenced by her. She naturally agreed.  Hmm, why not!
Everything went as planned. When she saw Luke coming towards the corner she took my phone and called Juliet calling her to hurry to her room because she needed help urgently. Her phone was kept facing outside so Hugo could see what happened.
Unknowingly, Luke and Juliet were going to bump into each other at the corner and Chloe had poured a little bit of oil where Juliet would pass. Let's watch the show. Hehe.
As expected Juliet came running towards Chloe's room and Luke was coming through at the same time. They came to the corner and bumped into each other. Juliet slipped and Luke hastily caught her by the waist quickly. The pin was loose and her hair fell into waves. As planned, they stared at each other.
"A show in reality," Chloe whispered excitedly.
"I can see that." Hugo agreed. "How long will this take?" he asked when Luke held Juliet up. Sometimes saying something is wishing for something. He placed his hands on her waist and stared at Juliet angrily.
"What's he going to do, please don't do anything stupid brother." Chloe hoped badly.
"So you can't watch your steps while you walk right?" he growled. As expected.
"How am I supposed to know that I'm going to bump into a stupid wall?" she retaliated.
"Next time you watch your steps, stop getting into my business," he warned pointing his finger at her.
She slapped his finger and warned him never to do that again. "Just stay away from me," he said.
"Who wants to be close to an idiot like you." she returned.
He gasped "Oh are you insulting me now."
"Oh I didn't know, do you want more?" she opened her eyes.
"Don't show me those bulging eyes of yours okay?"
"Have you seen yours? "
Chloe locked the door and faced Hugo dejectedly.
"You know, this was not supposed to happen, it was supposed to end with, oh I'm sorry, no it's okay, shyness, smiling, but this happened," she grumbled.
"Things just got worse," he said.
"I hope not." She frowned. "In case you don't know, they might be pretending that nothing happened, once they both get back to their rooms, they won't sleep early today," he assured.
"You think so?"  Her eyes brightened up.
"I'm sure, aren't you sleepy at all?" he asked and she laughed.
"Who sleeps at nine."
"Maybe you, just look at your eyes. You can sleep now. I have analysis to do." she said goodbye. Now to find out what the effect of what just happened is. I hope the fight is over.  She went outside and there was no one there. They must have gotten tired. Who do I meet first, brother?
...............
As Chloe was in her thoughts, Juliet was sitting on the bed looking at the post she left in search of her mum.
  Unexpectedly, she started sobbing especially after remembering all the harsh things said by Luke.
  Mum when will I find you? I don't want to stay here anymore.
  She wiped the tears on her face and frowned. Why am I even crying, that senseless Luke should be the one crying. So wicked, to make someone cry.
  Even after the brief courage, Juliet broke down again.
Meanwhile Luke couldn't get what happened off his mind. What if what I said made her cry again? After all, it was my fault. No, it's her fault. Why will she be rushing around? What if she had hit her head?
After contemplating, Luke left his room and walked towards Juliet's room. He tried to knock but his hands stopped eventually. He shook his head and turned around but then he heard sounds coming out of the room.
Don't tell me she's crying. No no no.
He gently pushed the door and it was opened. To his surprise, Juliet was still sitting in front of her laptop crying.
What to do now? She didn't even answer him. He walked towards her and sat on the bed.
"Look, I'm sorry okay? You came to our house and I'm not showing any hospitality. Please don't feel like no one wants you here. Just don't mind me okay?" he said looking at her but Juliet's head was still down.
"Hey, I've apologized. Haven't I?" he got confused.
"It's not your fault," she said softly. "I...I" she broke into tears again.
Luke was petrified and moved his fingers to move her hair from her face but unexpectedly Juliet embraced him crying bitterly.
Luke hung there not knowing what to do. He looked down at the girl crying on his shoulders and held her shoulders.
"I'm sure I'm not the reason she's crying." he thought.
"Tell me why? tell me why I can't look for my mum. Tell me why." she cried.
Her mum?  Luke was bewildered. He tried comforting her. He looked at her laptop and saw the post she left.
She's looking for her mum. What have I done? And I kept being rude to her.
"Listen. I'll help you look for your mum. Okay? stop crying now." he assured.
She nodded her head.
At the same time, Chloe was walking to Luke's room when her eye caught glimpse of something. She moved backward and gasped after looking into Juliet's room which was slightly opened.
"What a pleasant surprise. " she smiled and took a pic quickly. "Let's see what Hugo has to say about this. She chuckled and went back to her room.
