The Dancing Tale

Chapter 14

"We need to talk." Divyansh said when I reached the entrance.

I sighed. "Yes. We do. But now is not the time. I have class in 5 minutes. Recess?"

"Recess it is." He said. I nodded and walked away and joined rudra in steps.

"That was fast." He said.

"We didn't talk now." I said and he nodded his head. When we walked in class I saw Priya sitting at our usual seats.

I and she also need to talk. A lot of intense talking in one day is going to happen.

"She isn't all bad. She was just looking out for you." I heard rudra mutter before he walked back to his seat. I walked to my usual seat and sat beside her.

"Hey." She said like it's all normal. I know she was looking out for me and whatever she did yesterday was with all good intentions but I am mad about the fact that she didn't tell me what she thinks of divyansh. I thought there is only a little bit of dislike but she accused him of trying to take advantage of me which was a big shock for me.

"Why did you accuse him of taking advantage of me.? And why did you never told me that you have this deep disliking for him." I asked her directly.

Beating behind the bush creates miscommunication which can damage any kind of relationship. Sometimes even beyond repairing.

She looked at me for a while pensively. “okay. I really don't like him but I was bearing him for your sake. But after what he did yesterday, it was clear that he was just wants to get into your pants.”

"How can you be so sure about it. It could have been a misunderstanding." I defended him because I don't know his side of story and until yesterday he has not given me any reasons to not trust him.

"Kri. I am not against your happiness. I want you to be with a guy who actually understands that you are a real gem. I never said anything because I can see you are infatuated to him and also I didn't have anything to support my assumptions. But yesterday when you got drunk and that too accidentally. It didn't took me to put 2 and 2 together. "She told me. I know it seems like he planned this but I want to hear  what he has to say in this. It could all be a just big misunderstanding.

I hope it is.

"I can understand your concern for me as a friend pri. But he is my boyfriend. I know he will not do something like that. I didn't talk to him but I know he will never do it." I tried to assuage her anger towards him by my words. "He is important to me just as much as you are. I don't want 2 important people of my life fighting with each other. I don't want to be put in a situation where I have to choose between you and him."

"you can try as much as you want but my alarms will be up around him. But I won't make it difficult for you. I will never put you in a situation where you have to pick." She told me and smiled faintly. "But I will not be around when you both will be together because I will end up saying things about him which will hurt you and I don't want you to be hurt." she told me. I smiled at her supportive nature. Though she didn't like him but was trying to overlook it for me.

I can totally relate to her because I was same when my best friend from school came into relationship. I had hard time to trust her boyfriend and doubted even the slightest of his mistakes but he was the right guy for her and with the course of time I warmed up to him and we became friends.

Having caution for people is necessary because that saves is from the heartache. Not everybody could be trusted but not everybody is evil.

"Thank you so much pri. That means a lot." I said and I wrapped my arms around her. She wrapped it and we get separated when the professor walked in.

Done with one intense conversation . One more to go.

At our recess I and divyansh went out to the grounds of the college where people rarely hangout at that time so we had our privacy.

"Say whatever have to say." I said once we were standing at one place away from college building.

"The first thing I need to say is sorry. I am so so sorry for not fighting for you harder yesterday and left you. I apologize for that." he said.

"You are not understanding this situation, are you?" I snapped at him. He looks taken aback by my sudden bitchiness. I took a deep breath to calm myself from creating a scene. "The thing is divyansh, that I am not upset or mad at you because you let me go with rudra. I would have liked it if you have fought harder rather than going inside but that's not my concern......... I wanna know why is the same day I got drunk when I told you that very same day that I am not good at holding alcohol. "

" Trust me babe. It's just a coincidence. I swear. Do you think I would do that on purpose to take advantage of you. " He said.

" No. I don't think you will do it on purpose but it's just a weird coincidence. " I replied. I don't think he will do that, really.

"After I went back to the club I asked the waiter what drink he served you and he told me that he by mistake gave you somebody else's order which was mix of apple juice with alcohol. It was his mistake which got you drunk not mine. Trust me." He told me. I looked at his eyes for any kind of lie but I didn't saw any.

" I trust you, divyansh. " I said. He looked relaxed after that and smiled at me his charming smile. But then I realized I have more to say. “but that does not mean we are okay.”

"Why?" He questioned.

"I highly condemn the way you talked to Priya. You have no right to yell at her. I know she was as much guilty as you but you have to understand that she was looking after me. I told her too this morning to behave and I am telling you too. I won't stand you tearing her apart in a verbal spat."

" I am sorry for that babe. I really am. I made many mistakes yesterday's night. I will go and apologize to Priya and will try to not infuriate her. Don't be mad at me. " He pulled me close and rest his hands on my waist. I sighed and put my head on his shoulder.

" You both are important part of me and I don't want to lose you both. " I mumbled.

"You won't." he said and kissed my lips but I revert back instantly.

"No display of your affection in college mister. I don't want to scar dean's and all the professor's memory with our kiss." I said and he pouted which made me giggle. So I just gave him a kiss on the cheek and we both walked back  holding hands together.

Finally it's all good. But why do I have this premonition of a imminent ruckus coming my way.
