Shall We Go Somewhere?

They passed comments on each other until their order arrived.

"Let's go now" Das grabbed the bags and stood up.

Elena followed him and left the restaurant.

"What's with you? Your mood keeps changing." Elena commented,

"What do you mean my mood keeps changing? I am trying to be as polite as possible.

"I don't know. I just feel like you are making fun of me."

"I am not."

Elena matched Das' pace and glanced at him, then asked, "Say, Das."

"Hmm?"

"What were you doing when I fell asleep?"

"..." Das was caught off guard. "Nothing. I studied?"

"Is that so?" There was a slight disappointment in Elena's voice.

"I was so sleepy that I didn't even bother to fix my clothes and all. Even the buttons and... if you had seen something..."

"If I had seen something?" Das questioned.

"I don't know. I mean, it would be embarrassing, but I don't know. It would have been my fault to begin with."
