Chapter 23

Part - 22

Sid reached almost city outskirts as that area won't be much crowded, only few stalls here and there but mostly a silent area. He was decided to tell the truth to roli before she came to know through other way. So he chooses that isolated area where he could explain her without any disturbance and he could estimate the consequences too but still he wanted to let her know the truth without bothering about her reaction and he was ready to face the consequences, let it be positive or negative. 

"How beautiful.." said roli dreamily, taking a look at the scenery where Sid was stopped his car. Hearing her words Sid came out of his trance and looked at her, who was busy admiring nature's beauty while he was busy admiring his beauty, Roli. And without waiting further she rushed out of the car like an excited kid making him to admire her more.

"Roli, I have something important to say" speaks up Sid, walking up to roli while she was busy playing with butterflies and she just nodded looking at him.

"Woh... Actually... I.." Sid was struggling to speak though he did make up his mind to tell the truth but he was afraid, afraid of losing her. She just knows his name siddanth baradwaj, a gangster and nothing else but still she hates him like anything. What if she came to know that whom she hates as siddanth baradwaj is none other than the person, whom she considers as her friend, may be more than just a friend. He was stuck, thinking whether to tell or not, if he tells she would surely goes away from him as for her, he was the murderer of her parents not only that, she might hate him too which he couldn't bare. But he never wants to love her with the help of a lie, and moreover he doesn't want to keep her in dark. 

"Siddu.." he heard her calling him and found her staring at him with an amaze expression on her face.

"Roli... I.. I'm.." stopped Sid seeing a spark in roli's eyes and exciting smile on her lips. He found his words got stuck at his throat seeing her gazing at him. 

"Ohho siddu, are you gonna tell me what I wanted to tell you" thought roli, excitedly looking into his eyes. Seeing him struggling to tell, she was thinking that he wanted to say what she wants to say to him. 

"Tell na" forces roli, excitedly as she was eager to hear her heart's words through his words.

Meanwhile a man, who was hiding himself behind a tree, a little far from the place where RoSid were standing, was holding a gun in his hand and waiting for a chance to shoot roli. But Sid too was there so he couldn't get chance as Sid was standing opposite to roli facing her and also like shielding her by standing between her and that man, so that man was unable to point his gun at roli. 

"Who the hell is this guy, standing like a wall infront of her" said that man to himself, as Sid was standing opposite to roli so he couldn't see Sid's face.

Unaware of this trouble, both roli and Sid were lost in eachother's eyes. Couple of moments later, roli broke the eyelock unable to hold his piercing eyes and looked away as a deep red colour started spreading over her cheeks due to the blush. Sid too looked away trying to control his mixed emotions. 

"I'll bring water bottle" speaks up roli, breaking the silence and moved towards a small tea stall over there. 

As if getting a chance, that man pointed his gun at roli as soon as she reached that stall. But before he could shoot, his phone vibrated in his pocket making him to divert, though he was disturbed while attending the call but his finger which was on trigger got pressed it even unaware to him and bullet rushed out of the gun making its way towards roli. But as he was diverted by phone call, his target too got distracted and bullet got hit to the wall of the tea stall which was of wooden, breaking it with a big sound making few people who were around, afraid.

"Roli" shouted Sid, hearing the sound and rushed towards her, who was standing with a feared face.

"Are you ok?" enquired Sid, reaching her. While people around got more afraid seeing Sid there and thought something big is gonna happen so they rushed from that place out of fear. 

"Roli" called Sid bit loudly, seeing her standing like a statue while roli hearing his voice, with a jerk looked at him and in no time fell on his chest cuddling to it more due to fear. Sid circled his hands around her, understanding her situation.

"Roli, relax..." saying Sid caressed her hair to make her calm.

Meanwhile that man, hiding himself again behind the tree, attented his call.

"Why you called me now? Because of you I missed to kill her" said that man in full annoyance as he missed his chance.

"If you kill her then veeru Bhai will kill all of us, we need her alive, do you get it, now before anyone could see you just get out of that place, soon" saying the person from other side, hangs up the call while that man looked here and there and found none other than RoSid, they too were not looking at his side so he rushed from that place.

"Ae roli.. nothing happened, relax" said Sid, cupping her face but she seems not bothering and her tears were flowing continuously. So Sid took her near his car making her to sit, he too got in and started driving to get out of that place.

After few minutes Sid stopped his car in front of roli's house. Roli silently moved in and settled on the couch while Sid with a glass of water sat beside her.

"Have it" saying Sid forwarded the glass while roli took it silently.

"Don't get afraid, I'm there na" said Sid, holding her hand while she hugged him tightly and started crying again. He hugging her back, caressed her hairs. 

"Ohho.. I thought you're a sherni but in real you're a scary kitten" said Sid, trying to divert her while she broke the hug at his comment and looked at him.

"Here I'm afraid for you and you are making fun of me" said roli with a pout, raising her hand to beat him but he defended holding her hand.

"You are afraid for me?" asked Sid, holding her hand while she took her hand back from his hold.

"Or what, till now they were attacking me but today they saw you with me, what if they try to harm you" opened up roli about her fear while Sid smiled at her innocence. 

"Roli, nothing will happen to me, leave those unnecessary worries" said him, taking her hand into his hold again and wiped her tears.

"No, you won't know about him na that's why saying like this but I know him well, he can go to any extent" said her with a hatred on her face.

"About whom?" asked him sensing that she was talking about Sid.

"Who else could be that cruel than siddanth baradwaj..." says her, sending a dagger straight into his heart making his hold on her hand loosened. He could see how much she hates siddanth through her words, which was making his heart  to sob silently. 

"..Already he had snatched my parents but now I won't let him to snatch you from me, no, I can't lose you" continued roli, holding his hand as she never wants to leave that hand and hugged him again. This was enough for him to realise that she too feels for him as how he feels for her. He smiled as a tear escaped from his eyes with the realisation. He too hugged her back making it complete. He looked at her, who was peacefully rested herself inside his arms, looking at her, he pressed his lips on her forehead while she raised her head in surprise to found him gazing at her. He looking into her eyes, made a promise to himself to not to let any harm to reach her, as if understanding it, she smiled at him and rested her head again on his chest, hugging him even more tight. They both were staying in the same position, feeling eachother's heartbeat.

In a bungalow, the man who was tried to kill roli, standing in front of Arjun, supporter of veeru.

"Why you went to kill her?" shouts Arjun in full of anger.

"I thought killing her is the only way to get rid of all these hurdles in our way" replied that man as an explanation.

"We have to wait until veeru Bhai returns, but one thing I'm not getting, how come she always escaping our traps" said Arjun with a confused face.

"Today she was with a guy and our members said every time we attacked, a guy was protecting her so may be he is the one who was protecting her" said that man, trying to get a solution.

"Who is that guy now?" asked Arjun, frustrated.

"Don't know, we didn't see him" replied that man, making him more anger.

"I think now veeru Bhai has to come because that siddanth is just behind us and now this girl, now only he can take care of both of them" said Arjun, helplessly as he was not finding solutions to get over the problems.
