On the next day, everyone was there in the dining area for breakfast except two people and they were RahIya.. The kids Sammy and Vami were the ones who were keeping everyone busy by their antics and all were enjoying with them.
Anu: Yeh Tia kidhar reh gayi?
Virat: Rah bhi nahi aya
The juniors who knew what has happened looked at each other. They were hell worried for them. Though they were at Athiya's side as she was actually not trapping Rahul but Rahul's behaviour has shocked them all and moreover he was not a person who would come late at any place and here he is almost half hour late for the breakfast.
Soon enough Athiya came there. All could see her red and puffy eyes.
Anu: Tia kya hua kiddo?
Before she could say anything, Virat spoke.
Virat: Are yaar.. phir se nahi uthaya..
Anu: Kya hua?
Virat: Rah ko kab se call kar raha hoon utha hi nahi Raha
Athiya though got worried for him but she remembered whatever happened yesterday and maintained her straight face but her brain and her heart were fighting.
Athiya's brain: Usko jo karna ho kare mujhe kya
Athiya's heart: But you care for him na..
Athiya's brain: But what he did yesterday? Your care should not be for the person who think so low of you
Athiya's heart: Don't forget Tia you LOVE Him.. L.O.V.E love him..
Athiya's brain: Aisa bhi kaisa pyaar jo self respect se uper ho jaye?
And this time her heart could not counter. He has hurted her self respect.
Athiya's heart: Don't forget Tia he is a nice human being. Agar usne sirf crush hone ke nam pe aisa reaction diya hai to there is a chance ki koi wajah hogi.
Athiya (in mind): Nahi.. Mera dil chahe jo kahe, main sirf apne dimag ki hi sunungi. I won't forgive him
Virat: Main check karke..
He said this much when Rahul entered the dining area and sat beside Virat. Athiya sighed internally seeing him normal.. well he looked normal but she felt something off. Virat was glaring at Rahul but he was all oblivious to it.. sitting lazily and rubbing his eyes every now and then.
Virat (quite angrily): What is this behaviour Rah?
It was the first time Rahul looked at Virat after coming.
Rahul: Haan kya hua?
Virat: Kab se hum log wait kar rahe hai tumhara breakfast pe aur tum ho ke half hour late aaye ho. For a change aaj to Ro bhi time pe uth ke aa gaya hai and you came late.
Rahul: Oh yes.. sorry guys
He said it as if his late coming was nothing.
Athiya (in mind): Kaise behave karta hai yeh admi.. aise bol raha hai jaise sab ko bhukha rakhna is normal
Athiya's heart: Tum khud bhi to late aayi thi bahen
Athiya ignored her heart's voice and looked here and there and found almost all were surprised seeing Rahul like this
Rohit: Rah.. tum kabhi late nahi hote
Rahul nodded in yes while rubbing his eyes
Rohit: Aaj itna late ho gaye.. and you were not picking up the calls to Vi pareshan ho raha tha
