"Here" Harry heard Sayeed behind him before seeing the bottle outstretched to him, "It'll help taking your mind off your problem for a second or two"
"And how do you know that?" Asked Harry accepting the drink.
"I really don't... hope you're thirsty like I am" Said Sayeed making a silent toast with Harry's drink before drinking his.
"You're not going to ask?" Asked Harry after they stood like that for more than three minutes in silence.
"I don't have to... I know what I need to know and that's enough for me" Replied Sayeed looking back at Harry whose focus was solely on him.
"What do you know?" Asked Harry alarmed. He didn't think the call was that loud before.
"That, whatever made you like this got to do with Brown" Said Sayeed looking far ahead, "Whatever the problem is, don't try and solve it alone. It's not fair to him"
"What if I'm the problem, Sayeed?" Asked Harry finding it harder and harder to hold back the tears.
"Then let him have a sight to that first before deciding on anything yourself" Said Sayeed taking Harry to his embrace, patting his back lightly. Letting Harry cry to his heart's content.
"What if I'm the worst that ever came to hurt Brown before? What if..."
"You're not so sure yourself"
"What if it's not love that Brown is feeling for me? What if it's just me projecting my feelings to him? God, what have I done?!" Complained Harry, sobbing to Sayeed.
"Damn, this is weird" Mumbled Sayeed after a fitful tearful lamenting speech.
"Not so much weird than you sitting beside your crush of three years and still not saying a thing" Countered Harry, wiping his tears.
"And now the subject is me?"
"Just like that"
"Well, I don't know the problem about you but, I hope it can be resolved after sitting down and talk it out, you both are good at that" Said Sayeed, changing the subject.
"What's holding you back? She's the most thoughtful human being to ever grace the earth" Questioned Harry, not letting it go.
"She's the best, isn't she?"
"Then why are you still afraid even after being her friend for this long?" Asked Harry, increasingly curious about them.
"We have different religions... She's strong and deep to hers and I can't think to change mine"
"Wow"
"Yeah, so I think I'm satisfied with her being my friend"
"That sucks"
"Tell me about it"
"Have you at least have a talk about this?"
"How can I? She hates it when people talk about religious beliefs"
"It's none of my business but, I really wish you could let her know your intentions first and about your obstacles, You'll know what to do when you know her standing first" Said Harry using Sayeed's words back to him.
"What's with the atmosphere?" Came Katie's intrigued voice behind them.
"I think I fell in love twice in my life" Joked Harry eyeing Sayeed mischeviously.
"First with Brown and now it's Sayeed?" Asked Tatiana walking to grab Sayeed arm, "This one is mine!"
"And here I thought that I was yours" Mumbled Katie feigning a heartache.
"How come we're all here?" Asked Harry when he realized the whole multimedia authoring team was there.
"For one, the office was suffocating and because, your boyfriend is here" Said Tatiana who couldn't hide her star struck fangirling vibes.
"Brown is here?" Asked Harry, confused.
"And he looks like hell" Said Katie, bored to death.
"You mean hot?" Inquired Tatiana, thirsty for a taste of Brown.
"I meant crazy, out of his mind... He looks shaken" Explained Katie.
"Why are you still standing here?" Asked Tatiana making a face at Harry.
"Where is he?" Asked Harry with a shaky voice.
"In the office" Said Tatiana with a encouraging smile.
"Thanks guys" Said Harry before fast walking out of the place.
"Say hi to him for me" Said Sayeed meaningfully, making eye contact with Harry before he strode away to the love of his life.
What will he even say when he gets to see him?. Was he even ready and prepared for them to have that kind of talk in his office?.
