"Why would you assume something like that? I thought we were friends", Akira asked almost tearing up. She couldn't bear his accusatory tone.
"Even I thought the same", Raymond said and walked towards the kitchen all disappointed. He was beyond hurt because of her words. Disappointed because he felt that her behavior was just an outcome of gratitude and nothing more. In his head somehow he had thought that she too had a soft corner for him and that he could possibly win her over someday. But her statements completely whitewashed all his dreams and doused his heart. He couldn't accept the fact that she didn't even consider him a good enough friend to share her stuff with him. He was irritated for over assuming and hoping against hope about the whole scenario in between them.
