Jonathan simply smiled.

"Do you know to play?"he questioned.Though he didn't know if she knows how to play he decided to buy it for her.But telling her that he bought it will make her suspicious, as if she was already not suspicious of how he got the money to pay for the restaurant.So instead he decided not to tell her.

"I do know to play a few songs"She said trying to recall the tunes.

"Then try playing something"

"Okay"she said as she went and sat on the desk.She then placed her fingers on the keys and prepared herself to play.

In a second, a shrill note was heard , landing sharply in his ears.He instinctly closed his ears.

"Do you really know to play?"he asked again.

"I do"she pouted.

"Lets try again"she said to herself and pressed the keys again.Before she could even start Jonathan closed his ears to prevent his ears from bleeding.But this time the tune was not harsh.It was so pleasant and serene to hear.He removed his hands from his ears.He was surprised to how well she played.He never that she could play this beautifully.Her hand movements were like a professional.She was so thorough with the tune that she could play it with her eyes closed.She looked like an angel while playing the song.He stood there admiring her.Then he went and sat beside her on the desk.She was fully immersed in playing the tune that she didn't notice any movements near her.She suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the base tone of the same song she was playing.She stopped playing and turned to her side.She saw Jonathan playing the same tune.Seeing her stop,he paused and turned to her.

"Shall we play together?"he asked her charmingly.

"Sure"she agreed giving a gentle nod.

The two then started playing the song.This time it was way more pleasing.There was something magical in the tune.The two didn't stop for about 20 minutes.

After a while,Sandriya stood up from the desk.Her fingers were starting to hurt.On the other hand,Jonathan was still on the desk playing.

"He really looks handsome"Sandriya thought to herself as she started at his side view.

The soft tune started to change into a meledious one.The song was so pleasing that Sandriya was swirling like a princess to the tune.In her long gown,she imaged herself as princess and started waving her hands like a ballerina.Though she knew her movements were funny,she simply continued dancing to the tune.

Suddenly,she felt someone grab her waving hand from behind and her closer.A hand held her waist.She was stunned for a moment to see his face before her.

"Shall we dance?"his charming voice was inquired.

"If you are here who is playing the music?"she asked terrified.

"I just recorded the tune we played earlier"he said.

"oh"

"So then.Shall we dance?"he asked again.

"Ye-yes"she agreed with a little hesitation.

"But I really don't know how to dance properly"

"Just follow my lead"he instructed.

They two took small steps in unison with the soft music.She was too embarrased to look into his eye.So she buried her face in his chest.She could hear his heart beat.It was steady and regular whereas hers was racing as if she climbed 10 floors at once.The two looked like a prince and a princess in a ball.Her face was blushed in to a dark shade of red.The two stopped after 20 minutes as the recording ended.These minutes were like a fairytale to her.She wanted the moment to last for ever.

"Sandriya"he called.

"Hmph?"

"The song is over"he said softly.

That was when she realised she was still hugging him.

"I'm sorry"she immediately pulled away from him.She felt a little awkward with what just happened.

He then went to the balcony door and opened it while she was still standing in the same place.He rested his arms on the balcony railing.His hair and tie were waving in the night breeze.He turned to Sandriya.

"Come here.The view is really good"he said.Sandriya slowly went and stood beside him.The wind blew on her making her long black hair to wave.

"Its really an amazing view"she said as the two stared into the distance.The night sky was studded with stars.The moon was almost full and bright.The ocean was very much near than it was at his house.The streets were lit and there was not much movement in the street at this point of time.The breeze carried scent of the roses that were in the room.

"Really romantic"she thought to herself and turned her eyes slightly to look at him.

"Really romantic,isn't it?"she was stunned to hear the exact same words that she thought come from him.She turned to him.And he was already staring at her.So she quickly turned her head to avoid his eye.

She then softly said"Yes.Yes it is"

The two then silently stared at the ocean.After a few minutes.

"Jon,Can I ask you something?"she asked hesitating a little.

"Mm.Go on"he said without turning his head from the view.

"Do you think its normal for friends to behave this way?"she hesitantly mouthed her question.

"In what way?"he asked looking at her confused.

"What I mean is..."she paused"Is it actually fine with hugging your friend and..."

"And?"

"and having a lone time with them like this.Is it really common among friends"she finally completed her question.She had to perfectly line the words because One wrong word and he could misunderstand her.

He was silent for a minute before saying"I don't think anything is odd about it."he replied.He didn't say anything else.

"Thats all you have to say.Do you know how much effort I put into framing that sentence?"she scolded him in her mind.Seeing that he was silent ,she was a little anxious." I'm sorry if I asked something that hurt you"she apologized.

"No.No you didn't.Actually i am glad you did.Atleast you are not one of those girls who start developing feelings because of a simple hug"he said staring at the sky and massaging his temples.

"Yeah.Definitely not"She tried to cover her pain with a forced smile.So all this time,he saw her only as a friend.

"I really appreciate you for being honest with me. "he said patting her head.

Honest?Was she really honest about her feelings?No.She was in love with him.But she was trying to test if it really was love.Now with what he said,her heart was aching heavily.But all she could do was hold her tears and force a smile.Originally,she first thought of confessing her love someday.But with what happened just now was she gonna ever tell him?

No...
