Chereads / A Trip to Remember / Chapter 5 - The Bullshit

Chapter 5 - The Bullshit

Raghav was still in deep sleep, Mohit and Naman were tranquil. Vihaan was all dumbstruck from their behaviour. Atlast Vihaan spoke (in anger), "Will you guys explain me anything?"

Naman tried to explain the matter.

He started, "You weren't in the room, when we got up. Me and Mohit hadn't drunk much but Raghav was all in the air. When both Raghav and Mohit too got up, I went to have a shower but when I returned Mohit was in sleep and Raghav wasn't in the room. I woke up Mohit and then I heard some clangour from the pool area. We both rushed, Raghav and Ranveer were in a brawl. We too don't know what happend between them. Only this asshole (pointing towards Raghav) can explain us, what bullshit, he had done with that Ranveer!"

Vihaan calmed, "Alright, lets not act foolish. When this asshole (pointing towards Raghav) would get up, he would narrate the whole opera. Don't spoil your mood. Let's go to the cafeteria and have some food." Both of them nodded in agreement and they went to the cafeteria.

They ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with red wine and Deep-Dish Cranberry-Apple Pie as dessert. It was

delectable. After having the food they went back to their room. When Vihaan opened the door, no one was inside. All of them began searching for Raghav. Meanwhile, Naman found him in the washroom. Raghav had no guts to raise his eyes to connect with his friends. He was all depressed of his shameless actions. Suddenly, he began crying. Everyone in the group was shocked. Vihaan calmed Raghav down and asked him as politely as possible, "Tell me Raghav what happened, no matter whatever the reason is, we guys will always be in your side. Don't be sad, man! Stay relaxed. Now, come-on, tell me, why you had a brawl with Ranveer?"

Raghav : "After we returned from the pool, we were drunk too hard. I remembered, you(explaining Vihaan) entered the room and found everything messy and left the room. I was all out of sense because of the alcohol, I got up and went into Ranveer's room to bring my bag that I'd left in his room in the excitement of entering into the pool. He was asleep." Raghav paused.

Naman : (curiously) "Then, what happened?"

Raghav : "Well, today, I want to confess my thoughts to you guys."

Mohit : "Come-on, man, speak up."

Raghav : (with all his courage within him), "I'm gay."

All three (at once) : "What?"

Raghav : "Yes."

Vihaan : "Its fine man, if you're gay that's not a big deal. We live in twenty-first century, where, we don't judge people by their likes and dislikes or they are straight or not. But, what's the cause of your brawl with Ranveer isn't clear yet?"

Raghav : "I kissed him."

Mohit : "What! But, why?"

Raghav : "When I entered his room, he was shirtless and I couldn't control myself. All these years, I never spoke my feelings to anyone and today when I was drunk too hard, I had no control on my actions. I saw him sleeping almost unclad. I kissed him and he woke up. That's all what happened."

Vihaan was shocked, a memory got flashed into his mind. He whispered with pain, "Varun!"

He came out of his thoughts and went close to Raghav and hugged him and said, "Bro, you don't worry, I'm with you and I love you a lot. You are my coolest buddy. Just chill and enjoy this trip. Think it positively, if this opera wouldn't have happened, you would never ever have confessed your true fellings. So lets have a celebration on this great news. What say."

Everyone smiled and they all hugged. But still the name Varun was inside Vihaan's mind. He became upset and excused everyone saying, he need to have a shower, instead, he went to the bar to have a drink.
