Never Gonna Leave You

2. Melodrama

Okay, I don't know why I was so confused and dissatisfied with the chapters I wrote, but I was! therefore I edited it.

I really appreciate the in-line comments. Thank you for that!

The following morning, when Virat awoke, he was still furious about what had happened yesterday—specifically, how Mahi bhai and Rohit had treated him—but he has a glimmer of hope that it was all a prank, and he was hoping that it wasn't the other way around, which was very frightful to him.

With that thought, he got out of bed to get ready before going to the dining room for breakfast.

He walked to Mahi and Rohit's room, which they shared. He didn't mind that, but he found it strange when Rohit rejected him despite sharing a room with Mahi bhai.

Virat tried to open the door but, to his surprise or horror, it was locked. That in and of itself struck him as odd, so, mustering all of his bravery, he knocked on the door.

"Virat, Yes, do you have any work?" Asked Mahi.

He made no attempt to invite Virat inside. Virat took note of the formal manner and tone of his speech.

"No, bhai... nothing important in that sense... I just thought that you, Rohit, and I could all have breakfast together like we normally do ", Virat remarked with some reluctance.

"Virat It won't be achievable today, in my opinion. Rohit is still asleep while I work, and when he wakes up, he and I have opted to eat breakfast outside. Therefore, we cannot be with you."

Mahi told him about the preparations they had previously made. Virat scowled at the fact that he did not call him Cheeku this time, and that he was not part of the plan.

"I can wait for you guys, no problem, bhai. I mean, I can wait until Rohit wakes up and you finish your work... and I can help with it Na... so I can wait... and we could also chat about how things are going—it has been days since we shared a meal together."

Virat uttered those words having some hope, but Mahi scowled angrily at the sound of them, and Virat felt awful because he hadn't anticipated that.

"Why can't you comprehend something so obvious? Virat, think beyond yourself for a change. When I say we have plans, I mean Rohit and I.. so it won't include you right..Since yesterday, Rohit and I have been talking this."

Mahi declared, making it abundantly obvious that he did not want Virat to be involved. Virat was more hurt than anything else by the statements. It felt as though someone had stabbed him in the heart.

"Please explain what's wrong, Bhai. Please let me know if there was anything I did that would have hurt Rohit or you in any way. Please don't say things like this; I'll do anything."

When Virat heard his Mahi bhai's words, tears began to stream from his eyes.

He anticipated that they would merely provoking jealousy in him, but the exact reverse happened.

He had never seen Mahi's expression before, which terrified him at the moment.

When Mahi noticed how everyone in the hallway was gazing at them, he pulled Virat in, giving the poor child some hope that Mahi bhai would now give him a hug and urge him to stop sobbing, "Cheeku, it was all a prank"
