Rushing to my cabin ignoring my friends curious stares, I have started my work by opening the file and reading the main key points to understand the project.

It looks like it is a big project where we have to design the hotel interior and even exterior. But the exterior part is taken care of architecture department and now the designs should be done by interior design department. Great…

After some time Divya came and congratulated me for getting into the real time project.

But i just said thank you to her and continued to work because I cannot waste even a second now. I have less time to complete this file and note the main points.

Then I remembered the way i have behaved and said sorry to her and explained to her that I don't have time. I'm kind of happy that she understood my situation and went out without disturbing me.

The sound of ringing my mobile brought me back from my work. I looked at the caller ID to see that it was Dev. I gave a moment to think about whether or not to lift the call but eventually I answered while still noting the points.

"Hello" i said turning the page in the file.

"Hey" Dev said little hesitatingly from the other end of the line. I stopped writing and turned my concentration on my friend.

"Ya Dev?" I asked encouraging him to continue what he was trying to say.

"How are you?" He asked with a voice full of concern and affection.

Tears started pooling at the corner of my eyes listening to my best friend's voice. I miss my Playful Dev so much.

"I am fine Dev" i said taking a deep breath to control my emotions from bursting out.

"Ok. So when are you coming for lunch?" He asked with a hopeful voice. Then I remembered the work at hand. Sighing i put the pen on my notepad and sat straight while shifting the mobile to my right hand.

"Sorry Dev. I have so much work. I need to complete this file before going to the site. Since i am the newcomer in this project, i need to get up to date it seems, so that I can continue with other team members in the project" i explained feeling sorry that I am hurting him again when he is feeling hopeful to meet me.

"Oh.." he said and added after a moment "that's good Athira. Atlast you are getting what you were dreaming from your childhood." He said with a little lightness in his voice. But still i can grasp the sadness that he is trying to hide from me. He is not the only one who can understand me so well from all these years. Even i too know him well enough to know if he is sad or not.

"Will meet you at our flat after office Dev." I said hinting him that he doesn't need to stay back to pick me up from the office today since I don't know when I will be back from the site.

I picked up my pen and started looking at the file to complete the task within the time. When i have seen the time its already 1:30 PM and still there is half the file pending in front of me. I know that I have to skip lunch for today if I want this to be completed on time.

"Ok. Do you want me to fetch your food for you?" He asked worried for my health. It made me smile thinking about our college days. Whenever i was busy completing the assignment by skipping the lunch, he used to get me the lunch and made me eat it first before continuing my work. He was always there whenever I needed him the most. But I don't know why i am unable to return his feelings when he is the sweetest guy a girl ever wanted in her life.
