The Three-Way Love!(#Wattys2015, #YourStoryIndia)

Chapter 11: Got you wet!

I felt shell shocked and stood like a statue for a minute. A lump formed down my throat and the only word that came out of my mouth was "What?" No wonder Rohan hated Raj I guess. But Raj said 'he thinks'. So what was the truth?

I was staring him with horror and he continued "Are you listening?" I nodded and he continued "His ex-girlfriend was drunk that night and she came up to my room. She was all over me, but I resisted. I could never sleep with my brother's girl. Rohan saw us in an awkward position and didn't even try to listen and the drunk bitch blamed it all on me."

I was still digesting the entire truth. If that was the case, why didn't he explain it to Rohan. Rohan might have been shattered by looking at them. No wonder he looked so broken and sad. He might have thought his brother and the girl he loved betrayed him.

Raj was waiting for my reaction and I said "Why didn't you tell him the truth?"

"You think after seeing us together he would have heard me out? He thought I used his girlfriend. He just walked out of home that night and came after a week and never spoke to me again!" he said with emphatically.

"So you just gave up on your brother? Never told him anything!" I said with a snort.

We were still on the dance floor and I could see Rohan dancing with Nat. he might have been so hurt but Raj took the blame for it when he didn't do anything. Raj looked at me and whispered in a low voice "You're not going to tell him anything, please. He will think I manipulated you to tell him all this."

I said with a tensed expression "So what you're going to let him think that you slept with his girlfriend when you didn't?"

"He will never listen to me. Do I have a choice? Besides, everyone thinks I am a playboy and I sleep with every girl I want and even he thinks the same" he muttered in a sad tone.

"Can I try to talk to Rohan about this? He will hear me out!" I said convincingly.

"No! You won't. It's between him and me. You shouldn't interfere. I shouldn't have told you." he snapped and let go of me and walked away as the song ended. I felt a little hurt and offended. I stood at the same place for a minute and Rohan came towards me saying "Will you dance with me?"

I nodded politely with a smile. He held me close and we started moving swiftly to the music. All I could think of was to talk to him about his brother. But he wouldn't talk to me. I wish I could set things straight between the two of them.

Rohan said interrupting my thoughts "Hey, you look lost? Anything bothering you?" he immediately understood by the look on my face that I was distracted.

"Nothing. Nat didn't mind you dancing with me?" I said raising an eyebrow changing the topic.

"No. You just changed the topic. Don't wanna talk about it I guess!" he said with a slight pout.

"Not now. Later, when the time is right." I said with a sad tone. I wanted to tell him the truth because I was concerned about him, but Raj wouldn't like it so I kept mum. I inched closer to him and rested my head on his shoulder, I felt better that way.

We danced in the same position until the music stopped. I lifted my head from his shoulders and gave him a wide smile. I stood next to him. He was the only person who understood me even if I didn't say anything.

There was an announcer at the podium who started talking "Ladies and gentlemen. I thank each one of you for taking out time from your busy lives and joining us here today...." And someone just grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the crowd. I turned to see it was Raj. I quietly followed him outside.

He took me out from a smaller door near the swimming pool outside. Once we were outside, he left my hand. The lighting there was dim, the pool water sparkled though. I was waiting for him to say something and after ample amount of time, he muttered gazing down at the floor "I am sorry. I snapped at you before."
