"No."

"What no? What else do you think it is?"

"How can I like her? I don't know anything about her!"
Sahaj argued and Shubham gave him a death stare.

"I mean.....I do know a lot about her. But-"

"What but?! You know her occupation, you know what kind of a person is, you even know her past and you know what she looks like. What more do you want? Fine. What's her favourite colour?"

"Green."

"Why do you know that?"

"It's obvious, she's always wearing a green garment. Her old phone case was green. Her shoes are green. Even her wallpaper is a green screen. And her room in her house is green too."

"What is my favourite colour?"

"Your favourite colour is......I know it....?"

Shubham shook his head.

"My house is blue, my cars are blue, in fact the flowers in my garden are blue. You've known me all your life and you don't know that. She's been here for merely 45 days and you know her favourite colour. What kind of earrings does she wear?"

"She doesn't have earrings, though her ears are pierced."

"What colour is my hair?"

He asked and covered his head with the blanket. Sahaj stared down at the blanket and blinked his eyes.

"I don't know."

"What exactly changed in her hair?"

"Well, earlier her hair was................you are right. I do like her."
He whispered as he realised that he could pin point the difference in her hair more easily than he would be able to point out the difference in an altered document in the file of his company. And it was something, that he was well known in the industry for.

"Sahaj! Shubham! Radha! The food is ready!"
Samidha yelled from downstairs and Shubham smirked.

"She sounds like my mom doesn't she?"
He asked and Sahaj nodded, lost in his own world.

"You do know that a sister in law is like a mother right?"

"I'll fucking kill you!"

"I should take my leave now. I'll meet you at the office Sahaj. And you Samidha...."
Shubham spoke leaning down to her level.

"Invite me to lunches and dinners often, huh?"
Samidha grinned widely and nodded.

"Aren't you getting late? Go before I kick you out."
Sahaj spoke getting in between them and turning his friend around by holding his.

"Relax dude. She's like a sister to me. You can't be jealous of her brother!"

"Leave!"

"Fine!"

Sahaj glared at Shubham as he bid him farewell.

Turning around he saw Samidha walking back on her tip toes yet again. For the whole time, she has been walking on her tip toes.

"Sir! There's a parcel."

Samidha stopped and turned around.

"Parcel? Get it checked first! Take it away and get me the details of the sender, the delivery boy and the company immediately. I-"

"Hey! I ordered it. Nothing suspicious."
Sahaj butted in and Samidha shook her head.

"There could be a bomb in it. An-"
