Sali: we have extracted 342 deflectors this week, we are 23% higher than the last one

Sura: that's what I need to hear, now I want you to go asking Sloy when will she be able to finish the costume design, and then come back

Sali: ok ma'am, but... Before I go, there's something I wa... Sees Sai coming, becomes nervous and says "ok, I will go n..."

Sura: smiles while moving her head up and down

Sai: smiles, and turns back

Sali: no ma'am, you don't have to do this, I will come back later

Sura: Sali... Can you please stop using these formalities?

Sali: it's not that important

Sura: just talk

Sali: it's just, lowers her head, her cheeks turn pink with her hands clenched together

Sura: smiles, puts her hand on Sali's shoulder, and says "since when?"

Sali: what do you mean?

Sura: sigh, Sali you know what I'm talking about, since... When?

Sali: raises her eyes a little and says "two weeks"

Sura: see, it wasn't that hard, now tell me everything

Sali: I was working with Nadia when... He entered the room, he said that the Seconder ordered him to see if we needed something, but I don't think that was true, because he didn't ask anyone else except us, I thought he was trying to get close to Nadia or something, until you wanted Nadia, and he didn't go after her

Sura: oh interesting, and what did you do?

Sali: I didn't know what to do, I told him that we don't need anything and he can go, he said that he's free and told me if there's something he can help with, I screamed at him saying that I don't need anything, so he went out... Broken...

Sura: hmm, why did you do so?

Sali: I don't know, I just felt uncomfortable and... Didn't know what to do

Sura: do you always feel uncomfortable when he's around, or just that one time?

Sali: every time I see him, I feel like breathing becomes heavier

Sura: have you ever had a boyfriend or even a crush on someone before?

Sali: no, not really

Sura: do you feel like you have a crush on him?

Sali: I came here to know

Sura: ok then, this is the point I wanted us to reach, do you see him as a good partner?

Sali: well, he's handsome, hard worker and smart so I th...

Sura: pulls her hand around Sali's neck and shouts "I didn't tell you to rate him, I asked if he would be a good partner for you... Do you think you two will make a good couple? Will you be able to be a good family?"

Sali: pushes Sura's hand trying to breathe

Sura: frees Sali and says "I hope this does make you think better"

Sali: starts coughing, then looks at the ground for a second, raises her head looking at Sura and with a serious look says "yes I do, I've known him for about a year now, everything I know about him is perfect for me, I feel like he is my rightful choice emotionally and logically"

Sura: now that's what I call an answer, go on then

Sali: confusingly says "what? You want me to tell him?"

Sura: I wasn't talking to you

Sai shows up from behind a table on the side holding Ahab

Sali: lowers her head immediately and covers her eyes

Ahab: tries to push Sai away

Sura: come on, holds Ahab and pulls him to Sali

Ahab: raises his eyes as Sali raises hers, with a hesitation taking control, he says "Sali... I... Well... I li..."

Sali: hugs Ahab, puts her head on his chest, and softly says "I like you too"

Ahab: shocked as if he's stroked with lightning, his expressions wipe out, but gradually as he's digesting everything, his mouth and eyes start extending widely, his face turns up becoming jovial, he hugs Sali back the hardest he can and buries his head within her shoulder
