I forgot to keep an alarm for the next morning so I overslept. The moment I got up I checked the time. It was 11 am.
I promised Rohan I would see him in the morning. I checked my phone. There were a few miss calls from Jai, Raj and one from Rohan.
I freshened up and called Rohan but he didn't pick up my call. Then I called Jai. He said in a calm voice "Hey, where are you? Come to college ASAP. Need to discuss some project work."
I replied in a sleepy tone "I overslept. I'll be there soon. By the way, is Rohan there?"
He replied in a serious tone "No. But you're all over the news... with Raj." There was a brief pause in the conversation.
Rohan must have seen it over the net. Shit! I knew it wasn't going to go well with him. He wouldn't understand until and unless I would explain it to him.
I told Jai "I'll see you in a while. Got to go. Bye" and I kept the call.
I got out of my room to see if mum dad were home but as usual they were busy with their stuff. I tried calling Rohan again but he didn't pick.
I got ready to go to college. I thought I would go to Rohan's place first and check out if he was there.
I called up Arjun and asked him to send his car and the driver home to pick me up. I got in the car and went to Rohan's home.
I got out of the car in a hurry and rang the door bell. I thought if Rohan wouldn't be there at least I could speak to Raj and talk to him about not getting back to what he was.
Margaret opened the door and greeted me. I greeted her back. I asked her "Are Rohan and Raj at home?"
She said "Yes. Both of them are at home. But Rohan said that he doesn't want anyone to disturb him."
I needed to talk to him. I walked towards the stairs and climbed on the first floor where I came across Raj who was on his way to his bedroom.
The moment he saw me, he came towards me and said "Hey, we need to talk. I don't know why I said those things last night..."
I was thinking I came here to talk to Rohan, to explain him what was needed to be told to him. But I had to hear Raj out too because he was facing all this because of me.
I was the reason for all the problems in both of their lives and I just wanted to make things better, but I didn't know how could I do that?
I thought of holding his hand but I refrained from doing that. He continued "I shouldn't have said what I said... if I hadn't told you... you wouldn't come running behind. I am sorry."
I asked him in a straightforward way with a serious expression "Do you think one night stands is the solution to get over our relationship?"
He was quiet. His eyes still met mine. I knew he wasn't the kind of person who would feel ashamed of what he did.
He replied in a low voice "You went away when I thought you would trust me. You went on with what happened around you."
I said "Yes, I did. I feel the time went wrong. Things happened at the wrong time."
He said in an angry tone "Remember that night when we... you told me you loved me.... was it so easy for you to forget? Because I can't get over it yet."
He was talking as a total serious adult. He didn't even blink his eyes when he said that and I looked down. I felt I had no answer to his question.
Since he took my silence for my answer he went on "Did you sleep with him too?"
I felt disgusted for a moment when he said that. He was too loud when he said that. I felt scared Rohan must have heard that.
But before I could go and talk to Rohan, I told him in a serious tone with rage in my eyes "I don't think I need to answer you."
I turned around and started to walk away when he held my hand and pleaded "Shit! I am really sorry Tina. I lost my cool. I shouldn't have said that. I crossed a line. I am really sorry."
His grip was tight when I turned around, I saw the guilt in his eyes for what he just said. He continued "I take it back. I take it all back. Please forgive me. I feel I am behaving immaturely now."
I told him straightaway "At least I don't sleep with anyone just to get over someone unlike you. Did I ask you with whom did you sleep after we broke up? No.. right because I know my limits Raj."
I made an attempt to free my hand from his grip and I succeeded and I told him as I walked away "I need to talk to Rohan now. It's no use talking to you."
Without knocking, I got inside Rohan's room. He was sitting on his bean bag and doing something on his phone. I was sure he heard my argument with Raj.
The moment I walked in, his eyelids lifted up. I closed the door and went and sat next to him.
He said "What are you come here for, Tina? Him or me?"
He continued in a calm tone as if he was trying to state his point in a simple manner "Why would you lie to me? You think I wouldn't have trusted you if you would have told me you were spying on my brother?"
I knew I had to answer him. Because he asked me about myself and not Raj. I told him in a shaken low voice "I thought you wouldn't like it I went there to stop him. I am sorry."
I shifted close to him still keeping my legs crossed on the floor. I just wrapped around my arms around him. He held me back but it was just a meaningless hug.
I asked him "Did you hear what Raj said?"
He nodded. He continued "I guess if I were in his place, even I might burst out but not in a way he did. I wouldn't ask you who you sleep with, Tina."
My eyes were low. I felt I had hurt both of their ego and I was paying for it. I was paying for what all started because of my mixed emotions for both of them.
My eyes were filled with tears but I held them back. Rohan looked at me and said clearly "How about you go now. I don't think I am in a good state to talk to you and I don't want to be mean Tina."
I sat there like a statue and refused to move. He asked me again "I'll come to see you when I feel fine. I need some time Tina to think."
A tear fell from my eye and I asked him "Please Rohan, tell me all that's going in your mind. Don't let it stay inside. I guess I have to go through this."
He sat there and looked away from me towards the window. He was too sad but he didn't want to show it to me. But I could see it in his eyes.
He asked me one question in a calm voice "Was I a rebound for you? Just someone you could rely on to get over your previous relationship?"
That hurt me deep inside and I sat there like a statue trying to process what he just said.
