FriENDships last???

He knw he had to do it today..

Stan never thought it wud get this far, after all Miranda had been his best pal since college.

Stan, a topper in his class, a favourite among his professors,

while Miranda was one of those average girls who always thought career was a joke and slumber parties were more important.

But something between them clicked well.
Most of their friends thought they wud eventually get married, but fate had a different plans..
Miranda got married to a US Marine while Stan had no such plans.. But their friendship lasted...

It became even more stronger when Stan stood by her side all along when Miranda's husband died fighting the Taliban in afghanistan during the war.

Stan asked Miranda to work with him in his Company. An offer she couldnt say No to. Stan spoke to the director of the company which ensured tht both Miranda and her 2 year old son were taken good care of. Through all this difficult time Stan stood by her. The friendship blossomed.

Even Miranda started to feel nice around him. She was slowly coming out of her depression and always had a thought tht Stan wud be a great Dad to her son. She sometimes stared at him with a smile for No reason at all.
They went out for dinners, got sloshed etc etc. but stan knew his boundaries. This impressed her more.

Coming back, Today was different. He was stressed out. What he was going to say, was going to decide the fate of their Relationship.

"Its only 3 words.. You can do it." he said to himself..
He wondered how he was going to muster so much courage to tell this to her. 

He practiced himself before the mirror saying them confidently, but hopelessly failed. He had never done this before.

He asked his secretary to call Miranda upto his cabin asap.
She came up in no time.

"Knock Knock".. "Heyaaa Stan..U called"

He waved her to come inside.. His heartbeat increasing with every step she took in.. 

Should he back out.. No too late.. Should he divert the topic. Naa he had to do it eventually..

She came in and sat in a chair opposite to him. She could sense that he was going to pop her the question, but never thought it wud be in his cabin... 

Stan's secretary had told Miranda tht he had been restless all day as if making a life decision...

"Miranda" he called.... "Yes Stan".... Her heart pounding as well...
