Rohit's POV
We came back home. I was in my room when there was a knock on the door of my room. I opened it. Priya was standing there.
" Rohit can you please go and sleep in my room. Can I sleep here tonight? " I just nodded my head and went to their room.
I knocked and entered their room. Bhai was a bit surprised to see me. " What happened?"
" Priya requested that I sleep in this room and she sleeps in my room. She went to the guest room but AC was not working properly... and moreover, I think she didn't want mom or dad to know about this... Sorry bhai, but the way she requested, I couldn't refuse. "
" She will not forgive me, she doesn't even trust me. I tried to tell her everything but she said that I don't need to give an explanation to her. She doesn't even want to be in the same room with me, that means she must be hating me so much. Oh God !! She hates me, I can't bear it. What do I do now?"
" Bhai please control yourself, It is not like this, I know she doesn't hate you, in fact she is in love... Oh god!! " I was so shocked as I just accidentally said that....
" What did you just say?? Come again... please. Did you just say that she doesn't hate me? In fact, she loves me? " his eyes were about to come out of his skull.
I didn't utter a word. I was avoiding to look at him. He shook me hard and asked again, " What did you say? How do you know that?? You are not kidding. Are you?" His heart was beating like a drum.
I was not supposed to tell that But I guess it was too late for that. So, I told him that she always had a big crush on him since at least 5 years or maybe even more than that .
" I assure you bhai, I know that she is in love with you. She never liked to be introduced to any boy. But she used to get hurt when you used to ignore her."
" But how do you know that? Did she ever tell you that?" Bhai was going mad with happiness. But still wanted to confirm everything.
" She didn't need to... it was always written all over her face. But I know that her friends used to tease her about you. And she used to blush like a tomato."
" How come I never got to know about it? I always wanted her in my life. But I used to think that it was unethical as she was almost our family. "
I nodded and said, " I know that too big brother. I always noticed the way you used to look at her, when you thought that nobody was looking. You used to chase all the guys who were interested in her or wanted to date her. I literally saw you scaring a boy from my class. " He was blushing a bit now.
"Ok point taken Rohit, that you have good observations. Now tell me what to do now? "
" Just be patient and try to show her that you really care, that you really have feelings for her. That you love her, I know, she is madly in love with you. Just go and get her. She is yours, has always been. "
Bhai hugged me.
*******
Next day in the morning Kabir uncle was also there, bhai greeted him but he seemed to be upset and didn't reply. My dad was glaring at bhai. Dad and uncle both started scolding bhai and he kept giving explanations. This went on for 20 mins.
I cleared my throat and explained that whatever bhai was saying was right. He had always loved her, even Priya loved only and only Rahul. They had a crush on each other. I told the incident that happened on the day of dance competition. Dad and uncle were listening very carefully but didn't say a word.
" I will prove it to you that it is not as it looks like. Give me some time please. Last night he made us so angry that we had a fight. He said that he would spoil their marriage. Please don't let him... They love each other, dad. Uncle, I will prove that he has no feelings for Leena. You can test his feelings for Priya. "
I looked at my father he didn't say anything but he got up and left the room asking me to come with him.
I made a few phone calls and said, " Dad I will have the proof in 2 hours. "
*******
I had the proofs with me. I went to my office. Priya and Sia were already there in my office.
I welcomed both of them and asked Priya to come with me, we went to dad's office and dad told us to sit down, then I inserted a CD in the laptop and started the CD. It was a CCTV camera footage of airport where the whole thing had happened.
He was not lying... he was never in love with her. Priya was smiling and tears started flowing from her eyes.
Dad was really angry, " How can they do this, it could have ruined their marriage. But I am happy that Rahul is not interested in that girl. Well done Rohit. l don't know how I would have faced Kabir or Priya. Let me call Kabir, he needs to see this. "
" Both uncle and bhai will be here in half an hour. So we get to work till they come. " I said as we were exiting dad"s cabin.
We came back to my cabin and I started explaining the whole process which they already knew but we had to start somewhere. All of a sudden my secretary came inside and said, " Sir, there is a delivery for Mrs Priya Kapoor. "
She was surprised but said,
" Ok, send it inside please." and with that a man came inside with the big bouquet of Red roses and a small box." He handed them to her. I raised one of my eyebrows and was smiling. Sia was also behaving in the same manner.
It was from bhai . There were about 2 dozen Red roses in the bouquet and the box contained chocolates there was a card as well. She was about to open it when Sia snatched it.
Priya glared at her, she just gave a cute smile and pretended to open it. She glared at her again and Sia gave it back.
Rohit said, " Oh my god!!! my Khadoos brother is getting romantic... not bad. So Priya, I hope you are not angry with him now? "
She just shook her head and smiled shyly " Awwww, someone is getting shy... Now either you open that card or I will." Sia was getting very excited.
I was ogling at her. I said ,
" Don't you know Sia, reading the letter which was meant for another one is not good. I think you should find someone who would send you romantic letters and bouquets like this. Then you can read them to your heart's content. " I was smiling like a lunatic.
" Thanks for the advice but I don't need such bouquets or letters." She gave a fake smile and said annoyingly.
" Then what do you need, beautiful? " I said and she just rolled her eyes.
" I don't want anything and just don't call me beautiful... "
Oh she is cute....
Priya opened the card and blushed.
Sia kept on teasing her. I opened the chocolate Box and took out a few and popped one into my mouth. And offered them to Sia and Priya. Then I asked them to follow me. We were at the raw material section and I told them about the quality check tests etc. I introduced them to all the employees. Then we were about to go to invoice department when bhai came in smiling and hugged me.
" Thankyou, I love you" bhai said and I grinned
" Are you not well, bhai? It is me, Rohit. Priya is standing there. " I said while pointing at her. She was blushing hard.
Bhai just shook his head and gave a cute smile and said, " I know, she is standing there but I wanted to hug you idiot."
