Start from the beginning
                                    

"Okay then, all the best" he said and left my room.

Although I agreed to them, how am I going to approach her and ask her to accompany me?

It will be so awkward to talk to her after all these years but I guess I need to break the ice between us, after all we need to at least be in talking terms since we'll be working together.

I never thought situation would be so awkward between the two of us and I'll have to think twice before talking to her.

There was a time when I used to talk to her anytime of the day, without a care in the world and she used to listen to me like a small kid listens to her mother.

Chuckling at the thought, what days they were. 

I wish I could get back to those days but there is huge distance between us now, a distance of three and a half years which is very difficult to cross.

Sighing, I made my way towards the bed and tossing and turning for what seems like hours, finally sleep engulfed me.

Next day, getting ready I went to office but I was waiting for her to be alone so that I could talk to Siya as Kriti wasn't leaving her even for a bit.

"Sid, I want you to distract Kriti for few minutes, meanwhile I'll ask Siya to come with me to the mall" I said.

"Yes sure, I'd love to" he said with a mischievous smile.

They had their usual bantering on and when Kriti wasn't paying attention to us, I finally gathered courage and went to her.

She was facing Kriti and Sid with a small smile when I called her.

"Siya." 

Siya's POV

I just froze when I heard his voice.

Was he calling me?

But then why would he call me? I've already told him that me and Mohit are already in a relationship.

Then realization hit me, he has already heard Mohit talking to someone yesterday and I am sure he must be doubting that I lied to him.

How am I going to answer his question if he asks me anything related to my and Mohit's relationship?

Realizing that I am not answering anything, he kept his hand on my shoulder and my eyes got closed on it's own.

Taking a deep breath I turned around.

"Yes Akash" I said.

"I...I want to talk to you something important" he said.

As if on cue, my heartbeats quickened it's pace.

"Ye..yes tell me what do you want to talk about?" I said.

"Can we go somewhere else?" he said.

"But what about Sid and Kriti?" I asked.

"It'll just take few minutes Siya" he said.

"Okay" I agreed after few seconds.

Once we reached a quite place, we were standing facing each other and none of us spoke for sometime.

What does he want to talk about?

After few minutes, he said "you remember Kriti asked me for a gift yesterday?"

"Yes, I remember" I said.

"I want you to help me buy a gift for her" he said.

"But she said you yourself will buy a gift for her" I said.
