Alex: what is your problem. why did you pull me out of the room huh??"
Emma: Alex I am not cable's real girlfriend. I was only acting to make Allena jealous on the party. cable loves Allena and she came today they need time alone.
Alex: do you think I don't know he is my best friend he told me everything but the place your saying it's not for Allena it's for you."
Emma: what do you mean?
Alex: it means I want you to be his girlfriend you are annoying but loyal. I don't want that bitch anywhere near him I know she will cheat him again."
Emma: but the reality is you cannot choose for others it is his life and his choices his like and his dislike. who are we to decide whom should he love ...??? and beside that I do not know what am I to cable I do not know how he think of me. he didn't ever call me as like a work colleague or something ... "
Alex:" you tell me how do you think of cable a friend? a colleague? a lover?"
Emma got silent. for few second " I--I don't know..."
Alex: you do not know or you do not want to know ??? think it again.

Emma spaced out for few second after hearing that Alex was worried too. we looked at Emma worriedly
Emma: woo. that great am so happy for you * forced smile"
Emma: " cable I am sorry if am being insensible but I just got a call from boss to finish the interview in two days. because our monthly magazine is going to be printed soon and he want to add your interview sneak peeks in that. and now when your together with your girlfriend I think you want to spend some quality time with her after today. so, I just want to ask some question and finish this interview here. "
cable: fi-finish this interview ??? it finished so fast?? *weak smile*
Emma: it been a month cable ...
cable: seriously??? time flies when you are with me Emma....
Emma smile forcefully.
Emma: so, the question is 1. do you regret something in life???
cable did not know what to answer. he just stared at Emma for few minutes ...
" I don't know what I regret the most can you give me some time to think about it. "
Emma: of course. when you think you know the answer just let me know.
cable nodded in response and Emma asked next question.
Emma: do you miss someone right now???
again silence. cable did not know what is happening to him why he cannot answer these questions. it was like he knows he just does not know how to address the answer.
Emma: its okay if you want time. I will just add the answer whatever you say...
cable nodded again.
Emma: wow it is the last question and I think it is your favourite topic right now. " do you love someone so much that you can't live without the person???
this time cable smiled so bright showing his all teeth and then he opened his mouth to say the answer. " Allena" but to his surprise nothing came out. he stared blankly at Emma then he turns his graze to Alex but he was also waiting for cable's answer cable again remained silent. \
Emma looked at him." are you shy?? I did not know you can be shy too but do not worry if you want me to right Allena name I will do that.
cable nodded but he was confused finally Emma said. " ah! finally the interview is finished I'll let you know the details of promotion okay???
cable: yes, well I wanted to ask so the interview is finished now and well still meet right ?? you won't forget me so easily??? "
he asked looking down.
Emma went near to cable and ruffled his hair and said " how can I will forget you I promised I'll never leave you... whenever you need me, I'll be by your side."
cable signed in relief.

He like to get frank and be friend with his colleagues but everyone is not so good. when Emma join this office team a mentor rejects her because she was a fresher but Leo accepted her ad trained her, gave all the suggestions to become a good journalist. so, Leo become sad because Emma was his good friend and good member also.

everyone in the office started to look at them ... when the team A member felt embarrassed and chose to leave.
team mentor:"I'll see. how long you can keep that attitude" *he walked away*
after the man left, Emma laughed and said " omg. That's was so cool totally fan of this personality."
