Raichand's Heartbeat

2.Are you gay ?

(Writer's POV )
At other side ,

Raichand mansion ,
Abhay contemplated what he should do with his family.  When his mom gave him a ticket for a one week vacation on a cruise ship , she didn't inform him that he would have to meet another woman for date!

No. He refused to date those women who cover their faces with thick layer of makeup , bat an eyelash on him seductively , and ignore the fact that he wasn't interested.

Dawn those articles!

He wasn't a gay ! For fuck's sake!

At the age of thirty , he was still single and not seeing anyone. Was there something wrong with that? Yes there was. He was the current president of  'Raichand group of companies' , and his family was expecting him to get married and produce an heir anytime soon.

(Abhay's POV)
I remembered the night I was confronted by my  family about my  sexual orientation.  Thinking about it I  pondered where the heck did the rumors and gossips start.

" what did you say?" I glared at my father.

" I asked if you were a gay,"he repeated his question and glared back at me . "You don't have to hide it son . We will understand if you could just tell us the truth . You completely lack interest in any girls that you've gone in past . You are my firstborn son, and it hurts me to see you being  alone."

"Where the hell did this come from?" I growled. 

"Dad, maybe he was in denial,"my  younger brother Siddharth Raichand said with a laugh. "We should have see someone who could bring him out from his closet".

Siddharth rolled his eyes and scoffed at words.

"Are you going to answer my question or not?"father asked.

"No. Why did you even think I am gay ? I feel no reason to defend myself as I know I am not . What I choose to do with my life and whom I spend my life with aren't your business.  I'm pleased with my life and have no plans to change anything about it just because of the false rumours spreading around me "

"Yup, see, dad." Siddharth looked at father with smirk . "Told ya he wouldn't give you a direct answer. A simple yes and no would be suffice." He took something from the side table. He pulled out a couple of magazines and tossed it to me .

"Take a look at what they're saying about you , bro. I doubt you will like it."

I took a quick glance at articles and frowned.

" you believe these nonsensical articles ?"I hissed and threw the magazines away with a loud Thud .

"Well you haven't been seen in public with a girl  for a long time," father snapped . "What did you expect people will think about it ?you haven't dated anyone at all . Do you really want to be alone for the rest of life ?" Some of our partners were asking about me to dad.

" first of all,  it doesn't work that way. I can't find a girl I want to be with even if I am looking for one .  Secondly, I won't date anyone I am not interested in. Lastly, I don't really think I can be with anyone given  that I don't want to hang out with everyone.  See? You even have to force me to attend this dinner with you."

"Bro , you have issues. " sid laughed. "Oh , please we're family, of course,  you love us . We are only concerned about you . So .... yes or no ?you can confess to us . Are you gay or not?" Siddharth insisted. I glared at him , wanting to slap the mocking grin out of his face .

" No, I am not ," I said . "Although I am not interested in dating a girl doesn't mean I like to sleep with men."

"That's reassuring. " dad sighed in relief. He thought that I was his only hope to continue the bloodline. "But you know,  you should meet someone and try to know them. You can't possibly have a girl in your life if you won't even try to pick someone to go out with . Make some friends, go out , and hang out with other people,  get a life out of your office. I am not forcing you to get a wife soon , but you do know your mother already heard about the rumors,  and she would do something to rectify it ."

" And I 'm pretty sure you agreed with her?" Dad could never say 'no' to mom's wishes .

"Of course , I wanna see what she's upto , and we made a little bet about it " he confessed.

I shook my head in disbelief.  My mom and dad has started this tradition of betting whenever they try to set me up with someone. So far dad was losing the game. They had set me in a date with different girls , and not even a single girl of them could get my attention .
