You By My Side

5. Athiya's Crush and Rahul's Reaction

Rahul was in his room and was just trying to calm himself. Though because of Vami his mind got diverted and he was feeling better but now as he was alone, he was not able to forget the incident which he got reminded of today.

Athiya was in washroom and she just turned on the shower and was just rubbing her face, hands, her entire body to wipe off that lustful gaze of the driver. She though felt motivated by Rahul's words but the feeling could not be forgotten so easily.

It was lunch time when all were sitting except Athiya as she was explaining everything to the hotel staff. Once done, she came to the table but found only one seat empty beside Rahul. But as Anu was sitting at the other side, she sat there. The lunch was served. All were having it except RahIya who were somewhere lost in their thoughts. The time being distraction did work but the feeling and memory were something which was taking toll on both of them. But their trance got broken by Harry's loud voice.

Harry: We will play truth or dare while eating. I am getting bored.

Rahul: You always gets bored. Let others decide what they wanna do.

Virat: We are not going to do anything. Everyone will take rest.

Rahul Bhai: And I totally agree with Vi. So it's final

All kept mum hearing this and started having dinner but Harry being Harry how can he follow the rules when he is definitely on a mission to set up his bestie with the new manager who always looks like she is mad after his bestie.

Harry made a whatsapp group of youngster as soon as all reached their rooms. Athiya too was part of the group. All frowned seeing the new group.

Harry: Welcome Beautiful People to this group..

Rahul: Cut the crap Harry 🙄

Kul: Why are you so annoyed Rah?

Rahul: Umm.. nothing

Athiya: Umm.. Hey guys.. yeh kon sa group hai?

Yuzi: New group. Harry ne banaya

Harry: Okay guys to I know none of you is sleepy so let's play some games in my room.

Rishu: Great idea

Harry: Haan to aa jao sab yaha. Phir khelte hai kuchh. Now Shoo from here..

Rahul and Athiya both sighed and didn't feel like going there but then thought otherwise as being with others will divert their mind and will help them to get back to normal so they finally went to Harry's room.

Now Harry, Rahul, Athiya, Yuzi, Kul, Rishu all were there.

Athiya: Yaha pe to koi ladki hi nahi hai

Rahul: You can skip it if you are feeling uncomfortable

He said it as he knew whatever happened in the bus might be still afresh in her mind.

Athiya: It's not like I don't trust you guys lekin..

Kul: Are ek kam karte hai.. room khula rakhenge na.. Athiya room ko bas thoda aise hi bandh karo taki awaaz kam bahar jaye. Pura bandh nahi karna

Harry: Great idea

Athiya slightly closed the door and all sat in a circle.

Yuzi: Kya khele?

Harry: Truth or Dare.. Maza ayega

All agreed. And the game started. They were asking some crazy stuffs like Yuzi's first dating experience to Kul's first rumoured one night stand story to which he got so embarrassed that he kept on giving explanation to Athiya.
