''I mean, in the room, not on the same bed...I have a few mattresses that I can use...The bed is all yours.'' I said. She sigh. ''ok..works for me.'' she smiled.
I patted down the pillow before I lay down. meanwhile, she had the same book in her lap, her fingers were tracing every word, and was very concentred. I placed my hand under the pillow, for a more comfortable view. she was on the bed and I was on the ground, I was curious about what she was reading and even more curious about something else too.
''If you don't mind can I ask you something?'' I placed my chin on my palms and glanced at her.
''Yes, go ahead.''
''I was wondering, what are you reading?'' I asked.
''I-I um—what do you mean?'' she sounded confused.
''I mean what this book is about?'' I clarify.
''ooooh...this is a story..''
''Story about what?'' I said immediately. then I noticed redness across are face.
Is she embarrassed to tell me?
"...this is a story about a boy who falls in love with his best friend...and he never tells her that he is in love with her.."
"Oh. It's interesting..I guess." I rambled my words.
"Actually no..I mean sure it's a love story but I have read this book like so many times...because I have never understood the ending..my best-friend Aru- She suddenly paused.
"What is it?" I stood up.
"Nothing...I just remembered a person." She shook her head and closed the book, there was no smile on her face, I walked to her, and sat next to her.
"Your best friend? What happened to her? You can talk to me." I reassured her.

"I don't want to talk about her. Can I sleep now?" She said putting her book on the nightstand, and pulled the sheets. She didn't notice the book that dropped on the floor. I picked up the book and flipped the first page of it. There were small yet very precise dots were engraved. I traced the dots. She read this book more than once or twice or may be more, there must be something special about this book. I placed the book on the nightstand and went back to sleep.
"Hey Lily, can you call Tara?" I said pressing the phone on my ear.
"One moment Mr Agnihotri."
I glanced at my watch and realized that Diya must be awake by this time.
I walked to the kitchen and brought the breakfast to the table that I made.
"Good morning, Diya." I greeted.
"Morning," she replied and find her way to the dinning table.
"Everything's alright?" I asked.
"Yes." She smiled.
"Lair!" I thought.
"You have breakfast and I will see you in a bit." I said.
"Where are you going?"
"Next room, for a conference call." I stated. She didn't say anything this time.
"Hey Tara! Listen I need to book an appointment with you for eyes test" I said.
"Didn't you had your eyes test last month? Why another one? Everything's alright?" She asked worriedly.
"Ugh...not for me..for my—wife." I replied, awkwardly.
"You got married?! My god! And you didn't even invited your bestie?!" She squeaked in anger and disbelief.
"Listen, it's a long story, I will tell everything, but first, I want an appointment for my wife." I said.
"Okay, Fine, But you owe me a story time!" She emphasized.

"Yeah okay deal, so when is the appointment?" I asked.
"Tomorrow at 1: pm"
"Okay, thanks." I said.
"Is there something I need to know anything important about your wife?" She said concernedly.
"Yes, She is blind..,I called you because your the best I know."
"Bring her file tomorrow, and we will discuss further....see you tomorrow" she said.
"Anuraag, are you angry with me?" Diya said in guilt. I turned around and walked to her.
"No, I am not, what makes you think that?"
"You didn't join me for dinner and I thought that you are making an excuse to not talk to me...for my last night behaviour." she fidgeted with her cane.
"I am not angry with you...In-fact I was coming to tell you about an appointment for eyes test."
I said.
"Eyes test?" She raised her brow.
"Yes, is there any problem?" I asked.
"No, but it's not needed. I am fine."
I moved closer to her and took her hand and placed it in mine. "It's just a test. There could be a possibility that you could see. Please for me?" I asked.
"Okay, I will go.But I am scared."
"Don't be, I am with you." I replied.
