It started with an Accident...

Chapter 80

Ron's POV

Ruhan was working on his laptop when I went to his room. He smiled at me and asked me to sit.

" What are you doing? " I asked.

" Just working on my assignment,  I  have to submit it next week. "

" Do you need any help in this?" I asked.

" No Bhai (Brother), I can do it." He said with calmness.

"Ruhan I want to know what happened at that time. " I said.

" Please sit here and take a deep breath. " He said making me tense.

" Cut the crap and tell me everything. "  I said.

" I don't know where to start from?" 

" From the beginning... what and how do you know about us?? How did you get those things and what have you been hiding from me as well as her? "

" Relax Bhai, promise me one thing, you will not lose your temper on me or anything and will not do anything stupid,"  he said.

" Why would I lose my temper on you?  Have you done anything wrong? " I asked.

" No, It's only that I did not tell you at that time. But I had my reasons. I handled it as per my understanding. Please don't get hyper..."  he looked hesitant.

" Ruhan, You are making me more tense. Come out with it now. " I said.

" Bhai, I doubted that she has a severe crush on you by the way she used to look at you every time you were around after that accident where you saved her life. She never looked at any other guy like that. There were so many guys, who were interested in being friends with her but she rejected every offer made by any guy from the boys of our class and even the seniors after your batch passed out of the school but she was never interested in anyone but you. I was quite sure of her feelings but not about yours and was scared to ask you about it. "

" Scared of me?? Why? I have never scolded you. "

" I don't know...I thought, you might think that I was overthinking and I should concentrate on my studies. So I let it be. "

" How did you get to know it if you had asked me about it, I would have denied it. " I replied.

" Bhai, I came to know that something was going on between both of you and you kissed her at Sahaj's pool party," he said.

" Oh, God!! You saw us?"  I was a bit embarrassed as he was my younger brother and her classmate.

" No, I came to know later, when I saw a big picture of you kissing her," he replied.

He saw our picture???

" What?? A big picture of us kissing?? Where? Who showed it to you? "  I was shocked it must be the same person who sent the pictures to Mehul uncle.

" It was pasted there on the notice board and her diaries and cards were also displayed along with the picture," he said. 

" What the hell!! When ?? "

"On the evening of our farewell party at school. I was feeling weird that most of the people were looking at her and whispering. I thought that maybe it was because she was looking very pretty, but they were also looking at me weirdly."  He told me.

" Why were they looking at you like that? " I asked.

" I didn't understand the issue but since the party was in full bloom I was enjoying it a lot, but once the party was over and I came out and saw that many students were gathered near the reception and Mahi was crying sitting on the floor, with her face buried in her hands." He said, and I was shocked and angry.
