"What about Raya? ", he asked

" Mm.. Do you like her? ", I asked

" She is a friend", he said

"Nothing more? You think you could try to think of her as something more", I asked

" What are you talking about? No! There is nothing like that, I don't think of her like that, anyways she doesn't like me", he said

"Well.. She may.. Why do you assume", I asked

" She likes me? "He asked

" I said.. May! I'm asking about you, she is a good person, you can try", I said

He chuckled

"No.Sree .. I never felt anything towards her like that and I never will.
How do I put it, she isn't my type", he said

We heard a sound at the door, and we saw Raya and Akshara moving out..

Had she heard it?

" I.. I'll go look", Gautham said

I looked from there, worried..

In some time, a worker came in.. and handed me a coffee

"For me? ", I asked

" Ya.. Vikram sir, told to give you", he said and left

Why did he get me coffee.

I took the cup and moved to Vikram's office

*****
Gautham spotted Raya sitting down on a couch, with Akshara at her side.. She seemed upset.

He came closer.
"I want to talk to her", he said to Akshara,
Akshara nodded and left

Raya didn't want to speak to Gautham.
She couldn't believe that she didn't even propose, but got rejected.

" So.. Raya.. You should know.. I don't think of you that way", he said

Raya's heart clenched as she heard the words.. 'I never said anything!', she thought

"Don't expect anything from me even in the future,.. I'm sorry you have to face this, but there is no other way! I don't want you to keep developing feelings..", he said and got up..

Raya got up..

" I never said anything, don't worry about me", she said and walked away

Sree

I entered Vikram's cabin.
"Why did you get me coffee", I asked

He looked up at me..

" You. were working.. So I thought, this could help you", he said

"Oh.. Then only one? For Gautham? ", I asked

His expression on his face changed and he looked irritated.

" Why?.. Oh.. I thought you both will share, in the same cup", he said

"I just want to pour this coffee on you right now", I said

"Why, what did I say wrong" he asked

"It's a waste, talking to you, I'm leaving", I said and turned and opened the door..

Vikram came to my side and closed the door..

" What? ", I asked

"I have some work for you", he said
