Closure

“When is your rest day?” I asked him.
“Today is my first day man,” he said.
And gave me a grave look –
“Hmm,” I murmured. “I see.”
“At least you are just four days away from your rest days,” I smiled.
“If it is any consolation….”I added.
He gave a bitter smile.
“I am a day away from my first day, which means I am six days away from my rest days…” I laughed.
He just shrugged.
“What are you wearing?’ I asked, looking at him with amazement.
“Stop looking at me like that,” he scolded.
I laughed.
“I used to have a huge crush on you,” I confessed.
He arched a brow, looking surprised.
“But I figured,” I paused and gave him a sincere smile.
“You will never look at me that way, you know.”
