Tangled Relations

Chapter 8

Hey Guys,

Long time no see 🙈😅

So there aren't many chapters left for this story. so I'm asking your opinion how you want further updates.
please let me know if you guys want a small chapter once a week or a big chapter whenever possible.

(Ps: I will try not to disappear but currently my mental peace and mood depends on 15 people in New York, also my once sweet manager is becoming annoying and irritating for me so work has been a big upset for me since May ending so please shower your love through comments and votes.)

Rohit's pov :

When I tried opening my eyes... Suddenly, like lightning speed, I got flashes of all the happenings of the day...but before I could think of anything I felt some weight on my chest, so looking down I saw it was someone's head. I blinked my eyes twice thrice to get clear visual and saw it was Rish and the way he was hugging me i understood that he was scared seeing me like that... because I clearly remember it was Rishabh's cry and him asking me to stay awake was last thing I heard before I was surrounded by darkness.

I wanted to caress his hair but I couldn't move, my body was aching and even a slight movement hurt . It felt like I didn't have any energy....so i tried calling him " Rish baccha "

He looked up to my face with a mixture of surprise and shock and next sec he started blabbering " sorry bhaiya....did I wake you up again....I'm sorry... please rest...I will go sit out....you sleep and get rest...."

Seeing his blabbering won't stop soon I reached for his hand to hold which was near my hands and made him bend so he was again laying his head on my chest and said " shush....calm down kiddo... See I'm fine now...I'll rest in a bit, pakka.. but first tell me are you okay ? Why does your voice feel like you have been crying for hours... haven't i always told you... nothing will happen to me until I have my kiddo's love with me then why were you crying and even now you are crying?"

"Bha...( He was about to lie but knowing his bhaiya will see through his lies so he started telling the truth) yes I cried bhaiya because I got scared that i will lose you this time.... That this time I was not on time to save you..." Said Rishabh, still hugging.

" My stupid kiddo....you know na your bhaiya is a fighter... And didn't we promise that whatever will happen we will always be together then how could I break my promise...now stop crying or else I'll not give you my black hoodie which you have been eyeing for the last 2 months..." Said Rohit, chuckling a bit in the end.

Rishabh looked up with pout and said " not fair bhai...first you didn't allow me to touch that hoodie and now you aren't gonna let me borrow it also 😐...wait I'll complaint bhabhi that you broke her vase and blamed it on me and Sammy."

" Tu apni bhabhi ko meri complaint karega? firr dekhta hu mai kon tuhje meri favourite car ko hath lagane deta hai '' said Rohit knowing that he has distracted Rishabh perfectly now.

" Yaar bhaiya.... Nahii bolunga bhabhi ko...but you will allow me to drive your baby whenever I'm staying here... obviously with you besides me." Said Rishabh and added the last part hurriedly when he saw Rohit was about to say something.

Rohit shook his head towards Rishabh and Rishabh just relaxed while still hugging Rohit. There was silence for a bit since both were lost in their thoughts, and it was broken by Rohit, who hesitantly asked " Rishu , Is Jassi okay ? Did he come to see me here ?"

Rishabh looked up and asked " Yes he is okay and why won't he be okay ? You saved him and why are you suddenly asking about him bhaiya? Yes he was here in hospital but I haven't seen him since our f-- a while...maybe he left i don't know." Rishabh fumbled a bit while answering but covered up.

" No... nothing happened kiddo, It's just I felt like he was here hugging me while back ... just like how he does in my dreams before it turns into nightmare and then Jass disappears in that darkness....but guess I might be just hallucinating things.....this conclusion can be playing tricks on me " explained Rohit.

Rishabh didn't know what to say so he just hugged his bhaiya tight trying to provide him comfort and silent support still laying his head on Rohit's chest.

Unaware that this scene and their conversation had pricked at someone's heart so much that he left the room with moist eyes.

The person was aimlessly walking in the corridor when he bumped into Surya, who held the person to stabilize them from falling and said " Dyann kidr hai tumhara Jass ?  (where is your focus Jass ?)

" Woh....woh mai kuch nahi " Jass hesitated but finally answered.

"Jass you are okay right ? and please don't mind Rishu's words, he was just scared for his bhai " said Surya.

Jass could only nod his head and walked away.

" What happened to him now....ye itna disturbed kyu lag raha hai '' Surya thought out loud. " Anyway isko baad mai dekhta hu....let me warn Ro about the current situation." Thinking this he moved to Ro's room.

Somewhere else :
Just then they heard something failing and stood rooted to their place seeing the person standing there.

"I was so so wrong..i misunderstood him so much. He was just trying to protect me and what I did" he kept mumbling and broke down.

" Jinks"

"Ajju"

Sometimes ago

" I had asked her one thing one thing that not to keep any relation with that man or his family but she couldn't stay away from them....not only meeting them, she was planning to reunite us behind my back like that man didn't backstab me all these years ago....ooh God they were about to tell Virat about this.... I'm not sure what he will say who will he sup---" he was bladdering to himself when his conscious self appeared besides him and said " so you are worried about who will Virat support and not about the fact that you and Rohit both hide such a big thing from him....by Rohit I remember since when you became so cold hearted Ajju that you didn't even felt concerned for his well being once...even after knowing he has met with accident rather than asking if he is okay or not you lashed out on your Radhu.... "

There was silence in the car for a while when his conscience again said "Guess your heart hasn't changed much Ajju, see he brought you to Hospital where your best friend is fighting for his life....now what are you doing sitting in the car get out and see him once ." Saying so his conscious self disappeared.

He contemplated before getting out of the car and going inside. Taking deep breath he was moving towards reception when he spotted Ritika dragging Virat in one room with Shreyas Surya and Rishabh following them. So he quietly went there thinking that was the room Rohit was in. He had decided he would take a look from outside at Rohit, meet Virat and leave but he never thought that what he would hear in that room would make him question his belief and anger he possessed from the past 5 years. He couldn't understand how he had exactly played how those culprits wanted him. He was so shook that he didn't notice the plant stand kept at the side door which fell because of his push.

He was still not able to understand anything and his conscience kept mocking him saying " what you said a while ago, Rohit backstabbed you, he destroyed your friendship but it was never the case he was always protecting you and what you did with him ?"

"I was so so wrong..I misunderstood him so much. He kept saying he didn't do anything and I kept saying he backstabbed me and what all I haven't said...even Jass didn't trust him and stopped talking to him and I didn't say anything to him knowing so well that how much Jass means to him, still I didn't do anything about it and even after everything I said to him he still kept trying to protect me and what i did" he kept mumbling and broke down.

A/N

I know I know this isn't that lengthy chapter but there was someone who has been constantly commenting to vote which kinda motivated me to write something when my mind had decided to go on vacation somewhere, leaving me with a writer's block.

Anyways please do vote and comments.

I don't like demanding votes and comments but with this story there are many silent readers who don't comment nor vote. So this time I'm setting a target of 30+ votes and 20 comments for the next update.

Until next time!😉
