After confusing Ivan for five more minutes, she noticed Ivan was getting annoyed to hear her friend. She couldn't believe he was fine calling her a friend and wasn't liking it from her mouth.
Ivan grabbed their cups and went towards the sink bowl to keep it there and take a moment to breathe and relax. Else, he might knock on her head hearing friend again and again.
This was the first time Arna was calling him a friend. Even his introduction to her family wasn't as a friend after she returned. The random thought of Arna really giving up on him crept up, shuddering his heart. But he didn't know if it's alright to confess in her vulnerable time.
