Both of them started playing 20 questions on the way to Shravas's house.

"Okay, here we go"

Lasya paused for a minute, "What's your favorite color, food, and place?"

He turned his head with a jiff and it would have hurt him cause he abruptly turned.

"Three things in a single question? Wow, impressed yaar",

She narrowed her eyes and gave him a stare.

'Trying to intimidate my little hearts!', he thought shaking his head and a small smile was erupting on his face.

"Hey, why are you smiling?", Lasya asked narrowing her eyes.

"Nothing just thought something. So the answer will be, hm... Colour - blue, food - Mac and cheese and place - Switzerland"

Listening to his answers Lasya was surprised.

"Why are you this surprised?", asked Shravas who stopped the car on the road due to heavy traffic.

"Nothing, it's just that they were all my favorites too", chuckled Lasya.

"Wow, that's great, now my turn", he silenced her. "What's your favorite thing to do in your pass-time?"

"Hm, to be frank, I never used to get free time. But, now I have a bit and in that time I spend time watching web series or cuddling my Ritchie. What about you?" She turned to look at Ritchie who is now snoring slightly. She reached him and ruffled his fur lovingly.

Shravas was lost in his thoughts and the word 'never' from Lasya's mouth touched his heart.

"I will cherish you, Lasya for my life, if only if you give me a chance and you will live a life you dreamt of. I promise you", Shravas promised himself.

"Mine will be, hm... In my free time, I would like to help my dad in his business", Shravas said shrugging his shoulders as if it's not a big matter.

"What? You work in your free time. Oh God, you are so bored!" Rolling her eyes, she got a chuckle from him. "What?" She glared at him

"I am not bored. Everyone loves to be with me. You are the first one to tell that I am a moody person", He rolled his eyes at her in disbelief.

"Really?, then prove to me you are not moody", Lasya smirked at him throwing a challenge.

"When the time comes, I will prove to you and at that time you will have no salvation from me", Whispered Shravas while looking at her intently.

All of a sudden the atmosphere became intense and Lasya seems to distract the thoughts running from her mind, so she chuckled nervously.

"You know what, I never imagined like, I mean you are this friendly, especially with me. I didn't like you at all in the beginning", Lasya stopped as she saw he was looking at her with his eyebrows raised giving her the challenge to continue. But then soon she diverted again, "I mean during the marriage of Tina at Goa, I thought you were some pervert and a control freak. Also when I saw you at my admission, I thought the same at first but then changed when you wished and helped me with the process", Lasya completed heaving a sigh.

"So what about now? Do you like me?", Shravas asked openly as he started the engine. This was now or never and that's why he asked directly. So he can know what she is thinking or at the least, he will come to know what she has thought about him.
