“Hey, most_bay. I've been awaiting my interview for about two months now and I'm not getting any younger.” Anku sprang up from her chair and folded her arms.

“Hello, my friend!” I greeted Ankita, waving both my hands. “No need to unleash the crazy side right now. It's already your turn.”

“You know how patient I am.” Anku winked and turned to glance at Akram. “You also know I have a little crush on someone and the long wait is not good for my sanity.”

“Oh boy! Let's get started, then.” I looked at Mel and Akram. “You ready, guys?”

They nodded.

“Good luck, cuz!” Asha shouted from across the room, waving her hand excitedly.

“Thanks, Ash!” Ankita laughed and hurried to take her seat next to Akram and started right away.

“So, Akram, what do you like the most, other than Melody's coffee and Wolfie?”

“We are only talking about things not people, right?” Akram asked.

“Right!”

“Well, I like many things. Music is on top of the list.” He scratched his forehead thoughtfully. “There's also sweets, Junk food, water ballet...”

“Excuse me ? Water ballet?” Anku gawked at Akram, eyes like saucers.

“Oh! Did I say that out loud?!” Akram's nose wrinkled.

“Oh, yes! You did!”

Akram raked his fingers through his hair and blushed. “Ok! You got me. Just don't tell people outside, alright?”

Anku chuckled. “All right. I won't… next question.”

“What is the reason for naming Wolfie as 'Wolfie'?”

“Actually, he's named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That was Mozart's nickname in the movie Amadeus.”

“Cool!” she exclaimed.

Anku turned to Melody and smiled.

“Could you share your recipe of coffee, Melody? I love coffee and since Akram is so fond of your coffee, I guess it must be pretty good.”

Melody's cheeks turned rosy and she glanced at Akram. “It's not me. It's the fresh Brazilian beans.”

“Come on! I'm pretty sure it's you.” Akram flashed a dazzling grin.

“Nope. Can't take credit for that.” Mel dropped her gaze and shook her head, her mouth curving on one side.

Anku tuned to Akram again and asked, “out of all the moments you've spent with Melody, which one you like the most?”

“You mean just one?” Akram tilted his head and twisted his mouth.

"Yeah”

“Sorry. It's really difficult.” He shook his head.

Anku sighed and turned toward Melody. “Same question to you, Melody. Not the moments spent with yourself, but with superman.” She popped her head toward Akram. “It is pretty difficult to pinpoint a single moment, I know, but still…”

Mel looked down for a moment, twirling her short hair. “well, uh! I'm sorry. Even though I know I don't deserve it, but I'm forever thankful for every moment.”
