Chapter 62

Roli sat before the mirror, combing her hair while her mind wandered elsewhere; of course around Sid!. Within a few days Sid had recreated many memories of them together, making her to fall for him all over again.  

The previous day Sid brought her to the NGO which her father planned to build but couldn't. She was truly touched by the fact that Sid actually fulfilled her father's wish too. And she felt emotional to see her parents pictures though she couldn't remember them. 

A smile crept over her lips as she thought about all those things Sid was doing for her. He never tried to go near her though he wanted to. She could see the longing in his eyes but, couldn't prepare herself for taking a further step yet as she was in the misconception that she still needed time.

Keeping the comb back, she was about to take sindoor when she felt a grip on her wrist. Looking up, she found Sid holding her hand. 

Sid smiled making her gaze down. His touch was making her restless but she couldn't think of taking out her hand from his hold. 

Then leaving her hand, sid took a pinch of sindoor and filled her hairline passionately. Roli's eyes sparkled as she looked in to his eyes while he filled her hairline. 

Retrieving his hand back, sid moved closer to her. Roli's cheek turned cherry red when his warm breath hit her soft skin. Her eyelids shut down slowly as he planted a feathery kiss on her forehead. 

However, she was taken back by surprise when she couldn't find him near after opening her eyes a few seconds later. 

Watching around the room, her attention fell on her self image in the mirror where she found her hairline still empty. 

Her heart started thumping to realize that it was all just a dream! 

Closing her eyes with her palm, roli blushed hardly at her own imagination. And then the reminder hit her that Sid was gone out in the early morning after receiving a phone call and it was an hour since he left. 

Shaking her head with a smile, roli filled her hairline, thinking about her daydreaming a while ago. 

Roli really wished it to happen real. Then again hit her head after realizing what she was wishing for. And fell in to a deep thinking only to realize that she started to feel something for sid. 

Placing her right palm against her chest, she felt her heartbeat which was at peak when she thought about sid. And then the realization dawned her. She fell in love with sid, yet again. 

Roli smiled emotionally holding her mangalsutra. "I'm loving him" she mumbled to herself in surprise. She decided it was her time now to give him the happiness he deserved. 

"Mumma..." Sakshi groggily sat up on bed, waking up from her sleep. 

"You woke up" roli went to bed and took sakshi in to her lap. 

"Where's papa?" Sakshi asked in a sleepy tone, glancing at Sid's side of bed, which was empty. 

"Papa has got some important work so he left early today" roli answered as she carried sakshi upto bathroom to give her a shower.  

--

Afternoon roli was folding the clothes while thinking about sid. She suddenly gasped, feeling a grip around her waist. 

Turning her face, she found sid hugging her from behind, resting his chin on her right shoulder. She looked at him in surprise while he smiled at her and softly kissed on her cheek. 

But, only to realize it was a dream again! She hit her head with a blush. Taking a deep sigh, she continued with her work, reminding herself not to think about sid but ended up doing it anyway. 

Just then she heard a familiar voice "need any help?". 

Roli sighed rolling her eyes like 'not again'. And without turning to look at the person, she spoke "you came again? I know you would again do some cheesy thing and disappear just like how you're doing since morning. But, this time I'm not going to fall in your trap. So, go away". 

"What are you talking about, roli?" She heard sid spoke. 

"Don't you know what you're doing..." Roli got shut the moment she turned around and found sid standing with sakshi in his arms.

"papa just returned home now. How could you see him from morning, mumma?" Sakshi looked at Roli, innocently. 

Roli felt like hitting her head for blabbering when she realized it was not actually a dream anymore.

Sid was surprised initially but then understanding the situation, he felt extremely happy.  

"I.. got some.. work in kitchen" saying that Roli almost ran out of the room, hiding her face from Sid. 

"What happened to mumma?" Sakshi watched Roli leaving in hurry and asked Sid. 

"Nothing" Sid chuckled thinking about Roli's blabbering. 

Rest of the day Roli didn't dare to confront Sid. Though he tried to talk to her, she escaped using some or other reason. 

At night, finally summing up all the courage she had, Roli entered their room. Sakshi was fast asleep and Sid was nowhere to be seen in the room. 

Roli sighed in relief as she didn't find Sid in the room. She moved near bed thinking to sleep before Sid could return. 

"Had enough of playing hide and seek?" Sid's words froze her in the midway. 

Roli closed her eyes, feeling like getting caught. Taking a deep breath, she slowly turned around to find Sid in all smiles. 

Sid took forward steps to reach her while Roli looked away from him, thinking of a way to escape. 

"So, what were you saying this afternoon?" Sid asked, standing just a step away from her. 

"I.. didn't say.. anything" roli replied in a low voice, still not looking at him. 

"Is it? But, I remember I heard something" Sid smiled mischievously. 

"I'm.. getting sleep" Roli tried to run away again but, stopped by Sid. 

Sid held her pinkie finger with his as she tried to leave. 

Looking at her little finger locked with his, Roli felt something pleasant in her heart. Forgetting to run away from him, she keenly watched their locked fingers as some visuals played in her mind. 

***I will never leave you and you will have to bear with me always*** 

The words clearly rang in her head though the visuals were still blurred. 

***Why you're so careless...***

"Siddu.." roli continued subconsciously. 

Sid looked at her in surprise as she uttered his name like she always used to do. 

Roli closed her eyes trying to get the visuals clearer. Her head started hurting slightly but she still didn't stop trying. 

Sid got startled to see her holding her head as a layer of sweat occurred on her forehead. 

"Roli.. what happened?" Sid immediately cupped her face and asked worriedly. 

Still with closed eyes, roli shook her head trying hard to remember the events of her past. 

"Stop thinking, Roli. Please.." Sid was scared to death as he watched the pain in her face. He wasn't intended to make her force to remember the past. But, their pinkie promise triggered the point. 

"Relax.. roli" pulling her in to his embrace, Sid hugged her close to his heart and stroked her hairs to make her calm. 

With the immense pain in her head, roli clutched his shirt tightly, leaning on to his chest. 

Sid continued to caress her back helping her to get relaxed. Being in his warm embrace, roli finally calmed down after a few moments. 

"Are you alright?" Sid asked with concern filled voice. Roli slightly nodded her head. 

"Told you not to over think right" breaking the hug, Sid cupped her face and said. 

"I saw.." roli's voice came out as a whisper. Sid looked at her intently waiting for her to continue. 

"I saw you" roli smiled looking at him as a tear escaped from her eyes. Sid's heart jumped in joy. 

"I was scolding you and you were listening silently. But, I couldn't remember it completely" roli was disappointed. 

"It's fine, roli. Don't force yourself" Sid gently caressed her cheek as he spoke. 

Roli looked straight into his eyes being lost in him. She slowly held his hands which were cupping her face and nodded with a smile. 

Sid couldn't contain himself after watching her smiling at him, looking in to his eyes. Without wasting a second further, he moved closer and pulled her in to a tight hug. 

Having her in his arms after a years of separation, Sid was in cloud nine. And his happiness reached peaks when Roli too hugged him back. 

It was the moment he was longing for and when it actually happened in real, his eyes got moist out of the extreme happiness. 

Sid wasn't in the mood to break the hug as he realised that he got his Roli back to him. While Roli too didn't seem to be wanting to leave him as she wrapped her arms around his waist tightly.
