Timothee
Excuse me but can you move?
Timothee
Sorry, I have to take the same novel.
Alexander
Oh..Yeah, sorry, excuse me.
Timothee
It's okay, thank you.
Timothee
So, are you a fan of George Orwell too?
Timothee
Oh, sorry. I thought since you were standing.... well I-
Alexander
I was just being sarcastic, sorry...
Timothee
Oh yeah... That was dumb of me.
Alexander
Well.... I'm Alexander and if you are free, maybe we have some coffee and talk about George Orwell?!
Timothee
Oh.. I'd love to but won't I be disturbing you?
Alexander
Um.. well I kind of invited you so....
Timothee
Oh yeah, well let's take a sit over there? Near the window? Next to the ladies?
Alexander
Wait here, I'll go and order? What would you like?
Timothee
I'll take a tea, thanks..
Alexander
Here's your tea.
Timothee
Thank you! What did you get?
Alexander
So, George Orwell....
Timothee
Yep, George Orwell
Alexander
What is your favourite book of his?
Timothee
Mine, it's probably Animal Farm... I like the writing and the animals..
Alexander
1984 for me, I too like the writing and well the idea of it.
Timothee
Oh yeah that's a really nice book...
Alexander
Do you have any favourite authors?
Timothee
Quite a few, I like specific books from an author not all of them.
Timothee
I mean just because a book written by an author is nice doesn't mean all the book they write have to be nice..
Alexander
That's a good point actually, I have to agree.
Timothee
So, well Ruskin bond, Paulo Coelho, George Orwell obviously and yeah....
Alexander
Well that's a good taste.
Alexander
It have to be, Agatha Christie, Auther Conan Doyle and some other mystery writers and ofc George Orwell
ting.....(phone notification)
Alexander
Um...Shoot sorry, I have something coming up.
Alexander
I gotta go, again I'm so sorry
Timothee
I get it it's okay...
Alexander
I mean I was the one who invited you but... I'm sorry for such inconvenience.
Timothee
It's really fine.
Alexander
Well how about we exchange numbers and meet up another time?
Timothee
Oh yeah well, I can give you my no.
Timothee
Well here's my no.
Alexander
Thanks, see you. I gotta go, bye!

Place: Home
(note: this is past)
Timothee
It's raining hard right now...I guess I'll fill up my diary.
Timothee
Date:5.4.2022
Day: Tuesday
Good evening, Today I met someone who also likes to read books and he is a man too. It makes me happy to know that someone else also like George Orwell and is a man, I'm not saying girls liking him is not good it's just male readers are hard to find. He was really handsome, he looked liked a mafia boss from a novel but he was really....soft? I don't know, I just like the way he carried himself too bad he had to leave before we became mutual, but that's okay because we exchange numbers..
Ella
Tim.....Timmmy.... Mom's calling for dinner!
Timothee
Oh well .....Just a minute!!
Carlota
How was today Tim?
Timothee
Well it was good, I met someone new at the bookstore and they love George Orwell too!
Ella
Really? There's people other than you who reads boring books?
Timothee
They are not boring...they have an essence..... forgot it someone like you wouldn't understand.
Carlota
Now you two stop it and eat, I made some curry today as I had little work today.
Timothee
Oh, I remember we haven't heard from him for days now..
Carlota
Don't you guys worry, he'll be safe. I'll call him later to ask him to come a little earlier?
Ella
Yeah, family night is Saturday!!
Carlota
How about we watch some news?
Timothee
Really? How about a movie?
Timothee
uhh! Dead poets society??
Ella
No...! How about we watch avangers end game?
Carlota
We'll watch news, aren't you guys curious what's happening in the city?
On the tv playing news channel*
reporter
We have received news that this recent evening, a dead body was found near the abandoned factory site...
reporter
It is confirmed that the body is a male but no other information have been found as the body was burnt...
Timothee
How can they be so cruel..
reporter
Another body was found near the river bank and it is confirmed to be a 23 years old man named Jeremy who's family have claimed the body...
Carlota
Poor soul he died at such a young age..
reporter
It is suspected by the investigators that the two deaths may be connected but it is yet to be confirmed.
*beep* the tv was switched off.
Ella
I don't wanna watch it we are eating and it's not a good option to watch about death while eating.
Carlota
You sister is right Tim... now's not the best time to watch something that involves death.
Timothee
So, we can watch a movie? Maybe death poets society?
Ella
Mom just said no deaths??!
Carlota
Ell, that involves death too..
Timothee
Why do we love death??
*All three of them burst into laughter
Chapter 3
Timothee
I made up my mind, I'm gonna go. It's no use for me to be here. Why, why? Why did it have to be this way, I hope you understand how I feel, I'm leaving for the better...I don't wanna feel the pain anymore.
Timothee received a phone call.
Timothee
Hello, who is this?
Alexander
It's Alex, I'm hurt.
Timothee
What? What happened?
Alexander
You didn't save my number.
Timothee

Alexander
Well that's really bad, you should not pick up Unless you know who called.
Timothee

Carlota

He is in his trip right now, but I'm worried...
Alexander
Why? Is it not safe?
Timothee
No, I don't know it's just he haven't been picking up any calls or responding to any message we send...
Alexander
I think he's just too busy, don't worry. He'll contact you for sure if he have time.
Timothee
I guess.. Well I sound too whiney for an adult.
Alexander
Oh come on you can't be that old, you look like you just turned 19.
Timothee
Really? I mean it's close but it's that obvious?
Alexander
Pretty sure is..
