Chapter 16

Sid finally got relieved after having his Roli near him, safe and sound. He pulled her from his embrace as he got reminded of something. 

"What exactly happened, Roli? Your dad has said that you were kidnapped by some Rana Thakur. Then how come you are here?" Sid queried. 

Roli fell silent as she got reminded of those horrible memories "yesterday they were forcing me to get m-married to Rana Thakur's son. But, these people came and rescued me before it could happen". 

Sid wiped away the tears off of her cheeks and pulled her in to his arms again. "Now everything is fine. No more tears" he said, hugging her close to his chest. 

A couple of moments later, they heard a knock on the door and moved apart. They found Bade Sahab walking in while a two people followed him. 

"Are you relieved now?" Bade Sahab asked, looking at Sid. 

"Thank you so much for saving her" Sid said, gratefully. He really couldn't thank enough these people for saving not only him but also his Roli. 

"That's my responsibility" Bade Sahab replied calmly, earning a frown from Sid. 

"As a head of this village, it's my responsibility to stop people from wrongdoings" Bade Sahab continued as a clarification. 

"But still, thank you so much. If you would not have saved me yesterday then I might have been dead by now.." 

"Shut up" Sid glared at Roli for what she said at the end. 

Bade Sahab slightly smiled as he spoke "you both get fresh up and come down for breakfast". 

With that saying he turned around and left while the two people, who followed him, placed a few bags on the floor and said "these are clothes for you, Sahab" before leaving the room. 

"What are you thinking about?" Roli shook Sid, who seemed to be in deep thinking. 

"Don't you think this Bade Sahab is a bit mysterious?" Sid asked with a doubt. 

"I only think him as a nice person. His people are taking good care of me from the time I have been here" Roli answered. 

"Yeah, he is nice. But, he only gives Hitler boss vibes to me, always giving orders" Sid rolled his eyes.

Roli shook her head with a sigh as she could only expect such comments from him. Sid turned to Roli's side and was surprised when his attention fell on her attire. 

"What are you wearing?" Sid chuckled, examining her head to toe. Roli was wearing ghagra choli, designed in Rajasthani style. She looked too gorgeous that Sid could not take his eyes off of her.

"Hmm.. I was given this to wear" Roli replied. "Why are you staring at me like that? Isn't it good?" She gave him a confused look. 

"You're looking great! In fact this dress is more comfortable for me. You should continue wearing this now" Sid commented with a naughty smirk. 

Roli frowned at his statement. Her frown soon turned in to shock as she felt his hands on her bare waist. Then the realization dawned in her mind about what Sid was saying just a while ago. 

"Siddhant" Roli tried to push him away but only ended up pulled by him in to his arms. 

"I got you after a long time. And I'm not gonna leave you for making me so worried" Sid said, huskily, rubbing her tip of nose with his. 

Without wasting a second more, Sid captured her lips with his, making her gasp. Wrapping his hands around her waist, he pulled her more in to him while her hands slowly circled around his neck. He deepened the kiss as her hands roamed in his hairs. 

Sid was not in the mood to let her go even after they were running out of breath. A little while later, when Roli could no longer stand, she pushed him away slightly. Joining their foreheads together, they calmed down themselves with heavy breathing. 

"If you again disappear like this, you will have to bear the consequences" nudging his head in her right shoulder, Sid mumbled. 

Hugging him, Roli closed her eyes in shy as she knew what were the consequences he was talking about. 

~×~

"Woah! Is there any food Fest happening here?" Sid queried as he watched the whole dining table filled with various kinds of dishes. 

"These are for you. Bade Sahab ordered to make all these" one of the servants answered, politely. 

"If I eat all these then my six pack will turn in to family pack by the time I leave this place" Sid stared at the dining table in horror. While Roli shook her head for his comment. 

Suddenly, all the servants became alert as Bade Sahab entered dining hall. He sat in the main chair while two servants stood at either of his sides. 

"Sit down and have breakfast" Bade Sahab spoke, looking at RoSid. 

"You call this breakfast? This is more than the food I eat for two days" Sid said while Roli rolled her eyes and held his hand to control his carefree words. 

"You don't have to do dieting here" Bade Sahab replied, calmly. 

Roli pulled Sid to sit in chair before he could blurt out something else and she herself settled next to him. Soon servants started serving them food. 

After finishing breakfast, Bade Sahab got up from his chair and asked Sid "how is your wound now?". 

"It's fine" Sid responded. "And where is my car and phone?" He asked. 

"Those are given for repair" Bade Sahab answered. 

Rudra entered the house and reminded "Bade Sahab, Jagdish ji is waiting for you". 

"I'm coming" Bade Sahab responded to Rudra and turned to RoSid "you both can stay here without any worries. If you need anything, ask anyone of here". 

With that saying, Bade Sahab left the haveli with Rudra. Roli and Sid walked back to the room upstairs. 

Reaching the room, Sid thrown himself on to the couch and said "thank god they gave me casual jeans and shirts instead of their style dress". 

"But, I want to see you in that dress" Roli giggled. 

Sid pulled her over him and glared "you want me to look like a joker?". 

"Leave me. Door is not locked" Roli reminded as she got up and sat beside him. 

"Let me lock it" Sid was about to go but Roli pulled him back by his arm. 

"Siddhant, you are.." Roli stopped as she watched him moving close to her face. 

"Me what?" Sid raised his eyebrows, inching closer to her. 

Keeping her hand on his chest, Roli tried to stop him as she said "this place is so beautiful, right?". 

"Yes, you're looking even more beautiful in this place" Sid replied, flirtatiously. 

Roli looked away, controlling her blush as her plan to divert his mind failed. While Sid leaned more on to her. 

"Siddhant" Roli tried to push him away. 

"Please, Roli..." Sid said huskily, moving even close to her lips. 

"No, please.." Roli was nervous as she glanced at the open door. 

"Please, remove this gauze from my head" Sid said, making her surprised. 

"It's making me look dead. Please help me" Sid moved away from her and sat back as he continued "btw, what did you think?".

Roli bit her lips to control her blush while Sid smirked mischievously, making her blush even more. Roli brought the first aid box that was kept near bed and started dressing his wound. She unwrapped the gauze and sealed the wound with a bandaid. 

Sid pulled her to him by her waist while she was taking care of his wound. Roli glared at him for disturbing her but he smooched her with a soft kiss on her cheeks. 

Roli sneaked out from his arms when he was drooling at her, forgetting everything else and moved far away from him. 

"What the..." Sid was piqued at the sudden disturbance. 

"I'm going out to look around the place" Roli said, standing at a safe distance from him. She knew if they were in room, he would leave no chance to do crazy things with her. Hence, she found out a solution. 

"You better don't" Sid warned, got up to catch her, but he was late and she stormed out of the room. Helplessly, he could only follow her. 

Roli chuckled watching Sid walking beside her with an angry kid expression. 

"Stop smiling. I will deal with you later in room" Sid muttered while gritting his teeth. He was annoyed as he couldn't do anything where the place was filled lots of people, especially when the place was totally new. Roli giggled even more at his warning. 

While walking in the corridor, Roli stopped near a particular picture portrait. It was the picture of a middle age woman, who was smiling radiantly. 

"Do you know her?" Sid asked, teasingly nudging his elbow at her as her eyes was fixed on the picture. 

"No. But, there is something special about this picture" Roli responded without taking her eyes off of the picture. 

Meanwhile, a servant, who was passing by, noticed them and went near them "do you want anything?". He asked politely as Bade Sahab ordered them to take care of RoSid. 

"Who is she?" Roli asked curiously, pointing at the picture. 

"She is Bade Sahab's wife" the servant answered. 

"Oh.. where is she? And also other family members of Bade Sahab? I didn't happen to see anyone yet" Roli queried as she didn't get to meet Bade Sahab's family members though it had been a whole day since she entered the place.

"She is no more. And Bade Sahab has no other family members. But, he treats whole village as his own family" the servant replied.

Roli fell silent as she did not know how to respond. The servant left from there after realising Roli and Sid were just roaming around the place. 

Roli turned to Sid and found him watching the picture keenly. She touched his arm, gaining his attention. 

"You were right, Roli. There is really something special about this picture" Sid said, looking at the picture. 

What they were not aware of was, it was not about the picture but, the person in it!
