Instead of shock, Sora frowned! Somehow, it still didn't feel right to her. Reyhaan she knew would have a childhood sweetheart..she couldn't accept it, not because of her feelings, but considering his personality, it just seemed illogical.
And then the closeness between them that was increasing day by day? Why would he do that if he had a girlfriend?
But thinking about Reyhaan made her remember last day's strange behavior and her gaze dimmed.
Krish observed the change in her demeanor and he pursed his lips. He thought that Sora was finally starting to get depressed even though she acted strong and unaffected in the beginning. But it was just for some time. She turned to him over her shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how she looks? I mean any idea which color will suit her?"
Krish was like "...!"
He stared at her unblinkingly until his eyes began to sting with tears. He seems lost that Sora managed to shock him today! But he has to do the deed for what he came! So he answered, "No, I have no idea how she looks but can you just try something so that I can see which one to choose? You know, you have a good figure that of the model so...you are the ideal choice to try on!"
"Is she from this city?" Sora asked and finally, Krish got what he wants. Sora was showing her interest and started her interrogation.
"No, I guess from his hometown. But even I am not aware of it.", Krish replied.
"How come you don't know? You are his childhood friend, right?", Sora asked.
"Yes, but no one knows about his crush on her. Not even his family. He likes her but she likes him or not he is not sure. Last day he got a call from her that she is visiting him. So he started preparing a date with her!", Krish explained.
"Please pick up a color which will suit your skin tone. He told me she is bright in color", Krish also started to look for a dress in railings.
Sora touched another dress and showed Krish asking him how is this? When he signaled okay okay by the hand she kept it back.
"And...are you sure that Reyhaan has a crush on her?"
Krish was taken aback, "Even I was shocked Sora, like you by this news. But the way he asked me to prepare a dress, flowers, decorations, a cake and you know what, he is going to cook for this special occasion!"
"Lucky girl!", is what came from Sora. 'He is doing all the things which I liked but for the other girl' made her heart heavy.
"But Reyhaan always told me that he doesn't talk to other women except me. He doesn't like to touch them and hence he did not shake hands. Though somehow I thought I am an exception…So I wondered how come he has childhood sweetheart and now how he is like this?", Sora frowned again.
"Yeah, even I was also surprised when he shake his hands with you by himself first. I thought you are an exception but this may be because you remind him of her or something like that?", Krish was giving lame excuses just to be in a flow.
Sora sighed thinking 'Yes it can be a reason! Who am I to come in between those two. If he likes her and she reciprocates his love then I will go away from him. I may leave this all behind and will try to do something else.' She started to plan her future right away! Now her option to ask him is also gone!
Krish patted her shoulder and spoke gently, "Don't feel sad, even I came to know last day only." Sora came to her senses and looked at him. "It's okay! We are his friends and we will support him in this!"
"That's the spirit Senorita! I liked you for that. You always help me!" Krish chirped.
Sora averted his eyes and looked at the other side thinking, 'I don't have a choice. I am hurt but I don't want to force him.'
Once they did shopping which was of Sora's choice and each thing of her measurements she was wondering if it will suit Reyhaan's girlfriend. They dumped all the bags in Krish's car and headed to the office.
Even though it was the weekend main heads of departments, Sora, Reyhaan and their assistants always come for extra work as they need to cope with other companies in a short period of time. So in last month they not only grab a good contract but are in preparation for other three which will be a good milestone for their company.
Back at the office, Sora just stepped into the office floor when she suddenly bumped into Reyhaan. She froze and looked away!
