Chapter 21 : 'What If, you are lying ?'

Sumedh's Pov
I completed the story and looked at Ritika. I realised that she was looking at the ground while holding her chin and was lost in deep thought. I didn't say anything and was just staring at her. After 1 minute, She came back into senses and looked at me.

"So, Rohit ko abhi bhi kuch nhi pta ?" She asked in very calm voice.

"Now,He knows. Because HOD sir ke cabin mein jo bhi tamasha huwa, uske baad chupa bhi nhi sakta tha. College to mujhe jaane nhi diya tha. I mean suspend kar diya tha. Islea Rohit, rooz class attend karta tha, bhale hi uska maan ho ya na ho, sirf meri wajha se. Aur lecture ko apne phone mein record karke lata tha. Agar mera kisi topic mein doubt hota tha, to vo especially us sir ke paas jata tha… doubt clear karne ka lea… maan na ho tab bhi, saare teachers bahut khush ho gye the, unko lga tha ki Rohit sudhar gya. Nhi nhi… unko lga tha ki unlogo nein Rohit ko sudhar diya, but ab kon samjhaye unhe galatfehmi to insaan ko hi hoti hai." I said with a laugh.

"Aap ke… Ahm… , Aap ke kitne marks aaye the tab ?" She asked in low voice with a curious smile.

"I got first rank. But, agar Rohit itni help na karta to shayad main paas bhi nhi ho pata. Aur mera future kharab bhi ho chuka hota. Tb shayad priyanshi ko shanti milti." I said irritatedly.

"But, Priyanshi di nein aaisa ku kiya ? Vo ku aapko apnein Boyfriend se milwana chati thi ? Kahi murder karne ka plan to nhi tha unka ?" She asked in cheerful tone.

"Hahaahha… Kise pta. Usko samhajna hum jaise aam logo ke baas ka nhi hai. Vo kab, kya aur kyu karti hai… kisko nhi pata, jo ladki apne parents tak ko nhi chor sakti, vo mujhe kya chore gi ?" I said with a disgusting smile.

"Parents ko ? Matlab ?" She asked.

"Pta nhi sach hai ya nhi. But, sabko bolti hai ki mere parents nein mujhe adopt kiya hai, vo mere real parents nhi hai. Bachpan mein vo mujhe kisi aur ko bech rhe the, but phir baad mein unlogo nein nhi becha." I said irritatedly.

"Haan ! Ye story unhone mujhe bhi btayi thi, phir bahut royi thi. Mujhe bhi bura lga tha us time. But, ab gussa aa rha hai. Unhone to aapke aur Rohit ke baremain bhi-" She said, but stopped instantly. Then, She looked at me and gave a nervous smile.

I raised my eyebrows and angrily asked, "Rohit ke baremain kya kaha usnein ?"

"Choriye na sumedh sir. Aapko play ki practice nhi karni kya ?" She said while standing up from stairs.

She started walking down from stairs, but I immediately held her arms. She looked back at me and then, looked at her hand. But, I didn't leave her hand.

"Pehle batao, Rohit ke baremain kya kaha usnein ?" I asked angrily.

"Kuch nhi sach mein. Baas bol rhi thi ki Aap dono bahut ache friends ho, kayi baar unhe jealousy hoti hai aap dono ke friendship ko dekh kar." She said with a nervous smile.

"I… don't… trust… her. I don't trust ki vo kabhi bhi kisi ke baremain kuch acha bol sakti hai." I said.

"Aap vo choriye aur batayiye ki Kya aap abhi bhi unse pyaar karte hai ?" She asked innocently like a kid.

I looked at her, left her hand and stood up from the stair. I walked down from stairs, rolled up my sleeves, turned back and looked at her. I realised that she was grinning.

"Chale ? Play ki practice karni hai." I said while pushing back my hair.

She started blushing, jumped down from stairs like a kid and started walking. I was walking silently beside her. I again looked at her and realised that She was again lost in deep thought.

"What if, you are lying ?" She asked seriously.

I stopped and looked at her with narrow eyebrows. I got angry. Like, Seriously ? I shared everything with her which I rarely shared with anyone, but She didn't trust me. I calmed myself and managed a smile. She looked at me, confusingly, when I released a breath.

"Hostel mein hi rehti ho na tum ? 1 week uske saath rehkar dekhna, sab pta chal jayega ki kon jhoot bol rha hai… aur kon sach." I said with a smile and started walking towards the auditorium.

She didn't say anything, but after 1 minute, She ran and entered in the auditorium before me. I stopped at the entrance and looked at my watch that showed 12:30PM.

I entered in the auditorium and looked around. A wide smile came on my face when I noticed that Rohit was there who was busy in talking with Ritika. I went towards them and stood beside Ritika.

She looked at me and then, looked at Rohit. They both chuckled at the same time and then, she left from there. I confusingly looked at them. But, Rohit smiled and hugged me.

"Tu ku aaya ? Rest kar leta." I said while breaking the hug.

"Are ab theek hai meri tabiyat. Bahut bore ho rha tha islea aa gya. Waise tum dono kaha the ? Mujhe laga tha ki tu practice karwane mein busy hoga. but, Jab yaha aaya to na hi tu tha aur na hi Ritika. Bas ye bache practice kar rhe the yaha par." He said.

"Kuch nhi. Baas aaise hi thoda samjha rha tha." I said while looking towards the stage.

I again looked at Rohit and realised that he opened his mouth to ask another question. But, before he could ask next question.

I said, "Ab aaya hi to thoda practice kar lete hai."

"Haan chal." He said with a smile and slowly started walking towards the stage.

I sat on the table in front of the stage and noticed that Rohit explained something to other play members, and then they started acting.

I was looking at them but my mind was very disturbed. I didn't know why but I was not feeling relieved. I was feeling like something bad was going to happen.
