Emma: " cable I am sorry if am being insensible but I just got a call from boss to finish the interview in two days. because our monthly magazine is going to be printed soon and he want to add your interview sneak peeks in that. and now when your together with your girlfriend I think you want to spend some quality time with her after today. so, I just want to ask some question and finish this interview here. "

cable: fi-finish this interview ??? it finished so fast?? *weak smile*

Emma: it been a month cable ...

cable: seriously??? time flies when you are with me Emma....

Emma smile forcefully.

Emma: so, the question is 1. do you regret something in life???

cable did not know what to answer. he just stared at Emma for few minutes ...

" I don't know what I regret the most can you give me some time to think about it. "

Emma: of course. when you think you know the answer just let me know.

cable nodded in response and Emma asked next question.

Emma: do you miss someone right now???

again silence. cable did not know what is happening to him why he cannot answer these questions. it was like he knows he just does not know how to address the answer.

Emma: its okay if you want time. I will just add the answer whatever you say...

cable nodded again.

Emma: wow it is the last question and I think it is your favourite topic right now. " do you love someone so much that you can't live without the person???

this time cable smiled so bright showing his all teeth and then he opened his mouth to say the answer. " Allena" but to his surprise nothing came out. he stared blankly at Emma then he turns his graze to Alex but he was also waiting for cable's answer cable again remained silent. \

Emma looked at him." are you shy?? I did not know you can be shy too but do not worry if you want me to right Allena name I will do that.

cable nodded but he was confused finally Emma said. " ah! finally the interview is finished I'll let you know the details of promotion okay???

cable: yes, well I wanted to ask so the interview is finished now and well still meet right ?? you won't forget me so easily??? "

he asked looking down.

Emma went near to cable and ruffled his hair and said " how can I will forget you I promised I'll never leave you... whenever you need me, I'll be by your side."

cable signed in relief.

everyone in the office started to look at them ... when the team A member felt embarrassed and chose to leave.

team mentor:"I'll see. how long you can keep that attitude" *he walked away*
