Red roses - Part 9

His friend was innocent or stupid. It was hard to tell. His friend was never serious about anything. " I am sorry about Rajeev! Don't take him seriously. ", Arjun apologized. She chuckled and said, " Why do you keep apologising simply?  You have said sorry like a dozen times now. And a little secret about me- I don't take things serious just like Rajeev."

Arjun smiled sheepishly. He was embarrased. He hadn't noticed the number of times he had said sorry even though it wasn't his mistake. It had all started when he was little. Every now and then he would say sorry because he felt he hurt someone's feeling or someone had hurt other's feeling and it was righteous of him to say sorry.

" Ok it's time for me to go.", she said, leaving the two men wishing she never left. " Awwww !! Do you have to leave soon!", Rajeev asked, being a bit open about his feeling than Arjun. Arjun didn't open his mouth. He did want her to stay longer but he was concious about his friend's feeling. What if he asked her to wait for bit longer? Will Rajeev feel bad that he asked her?

She left after they persisted her to stay longer which obviously had no effect on her. However Rajeev was happy again. The night was spent on more sober activities apart from drinking. They were watching the dispointing match where their favorite team - Spain had lost.

But Rajeev didn't feel bad. His day was already made special because of Lucy. He was singing only praises about Lucy. Atlast everything was fine untill now.

Next few months saw three friends become closed friends. Arjun tried to leave Rajeev alone with Lucy. But Lucy would always drag him too. He was worried about Rajeev's insecurities though Rajeev didn't show them yet.
