Part - 36
Later at evening, roli was sitting in the room, which she used to live in, before going to Sid's place. As she hadn't vacant that house completely, she managed to get back into it.
While roli was in a deep thinking, a tall guy entered into her room and locked the door. Roli jerked her body on the sudden sound and found Sid standing in front of her with a stern face.
They both looked at eachother as roli's lips curved upwards into a smile whilst Sid still looking at her sternly as he reminded of their last night's discussion.
*****
As soon as sunny entered into the room, Sid got up from the bed, where he was sitting, holding his head, a while ago.
"What's this, sunny? Aren't you aware of the things happening around us? Still how can you expect me to get married in such situations?" Blurted out Sid in anger.
"We've to make sure of roli's safety at prior importance. If anyone out gets to know that I and roli got married, do you have any idea of what could be the consequences?" Sid continued his outrage.
"I can understand, Bhai" replied sunny, calmly as he too very well knew that Sid's worries aren't unreasonable. Veeru was waiting for seeking a weak point of Sid to attack. If he got to know about Sid's relationship with roli then it wouldn't be good. Veeru could go to any extent to defeat Sid. In that case, roli would be veeru's first target, which Sid could never let to happen.
"..but Bhai, all these marriage arrangements are roli's idea. Do you know how happy she was since the time marriage date was fixed. But your response broke her heart. What will you tell to her about it?" After hearing to Sunny's words, Sid's facial expressions got softened as he thought of roli.
"I should go talk to her first" said Sid as he hurried himself out and made his way towards roli's room.
Sid opened roli's room door, which wasn't locked. He found roli laying on bed. As roli being faced her back at door, she didn't know about Sid's arrival. But Sid could clearly hear her sobbing, which made his heart ache.
He moved near to bed, got top on it and crawled over to roli, hugging her from back. Roli was startled at sudden act but soon realising it's Sid, she tried to move away. But there was no way Sid could let her go, so he tightened his grip around her.
But, still roli kept trying to free herself. Seeing her continuous tries, Sid leaned to front and placed a soft kiss on her right cheek, which ultimately made her to stop her tries and shut her eyes, feeling his warmth. Sid kept his lips placed on her cheeks for a while as his took his right hand out to hold her chin and made her to face him.
"Why are you hurting yourself like this?" Asked sid, caressing her cheeks as he witnessed dried tears on her cheeks and slightly swollen eyes due to continuous crying. His voice was deep and contained a lot of concern.
"Don't you really know the reason?" Roli asked it back, looking straight into his piercing eyes as she tried hard to hold the storm of tears back inside her. Seeing her in pain, Sid couldn't help but pull her into his embrace and hug her tightly as if saying he will not ever let her to suffer anything.
"The words I said back then, aren't actually meant the way you are thinking. I'm just worried that if anyone from outside gets to know about our marriage then it'll not be safe for you. That's the only reason that I denied to marry now, nothing else" Sid opened up his worries as caressing her hairs while roli silently listened to his words, being in his embrace.
"When the things get settled, we'll get married" continued Sid. His voice was gentle unlike all the other times where he used to his authoritative and firm voice. It's obvious that he can't be rough to his roli, who meant more than his life for him.
"But I can't wait that long.." replied roli as she looked up at him.
"Don't be stubborn. I just can't afford to risk your life" he gently caressed her cheeks, trying to make her understand.
"Since this is the only reason you're worried about, then be rest assured that nothing will happen to me as long as you're with me" said roli as she placed her palm above Sid's palm, which was caressing her cheeks. Her reply would obviously made Sid's heart melt but, still he could be rest assured only after making veeru away from their lives once and for all!
"Why don't you understand things in a go?" Sid began as she wasn't much worried about herself.
"That's the same thing I wanted to ask you" roli gave it back to him, making him to let out a sigh, helplessly.
"Roli.." called out Sid, firmly but, she didn't let him to say anymore further as she snuggled into his arms. Sid wrapped his hands around waist, hugging her.
"I lost everything already. Now all that I've is you, only you! I'm really afraid what if I lose you too" roli spoke up her fear whilst Sid could feel his chest getting wet with her tears.
His grip got tightened around her as he whispered into her ears "how can one be separated by their own self?". His words made her heart warm as she slightly smiled inside his embrace. Feeling her smile, he softly kissed on her forehead.
"Let's get married" roli again started. Sid, without saying any word, wiped off the tears on her cheeks. Only he knew how his heart gets heavy seeing her crying like this.
As she found him silent, she again cuddled into his embrace as she mumbled "its final, we're getting married next week".
Sid didn't speak a word. He actually didn't have any idea of what to say. Anyhow, he couldn't go against roli's words either but, he was sure of what he will do, especially when his roli was involved in it.
While roli suddenly got up from Sid's embrace as she reminded of something. She swiftly got out of bed and searched for her phone, which she had thrown a while ago. Sid was confused as he too got up and sat on bed.
Roli took her phone as she sat beside Sid and handed it to him. Sid was stunned as he read those cautious messages, which roli had received.
"I got a paper note too before this, but I had thrown it away" said roli as Sid continued to look into the message, seriously.
"Then why didn't you tell me about this till now?" Asked Sid as he tried to suppress his anger.
"I thought you'd be worried, so.. anyways, I don't believe any such things against you" roli tried to explain as she leaned onto his shoulders.
Sid again looked at the message and made a phone call to sunny, asking him to come to roli's room.
Not so long, sunny entered into roli's room. While roli quickly got up from Sid's embrace and stood beside bed.
"I thought Bhai might have getting nice slaps but something else is happening here" sunny teased as he reached them.
"First look into this" Sid handed roli's phone to sunny as he diverted the topic.
"Who did this?" Sunny asked in shock.
"That we have to find out. And it also makes our doubt clear that there is someone in this house, who is helping veeru" Sid said, sternly.
"But how we'll find it out?" Sunny was confused.
"I know what to do.." Sid said as he made a plan to tame veeru. Roli and sunny looked at each other as they didn't get what Sid was planning.
But their confused expressions didn't last long as Sid explained them of what to do.
*****
And everything happened as per their plan!
"So, how's my acting?" Roli asked as she raised her eyebrows.
Sid chuckled as he pulled her into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Whilst roli too circled her hands around his waist and buried her face into his chest as they remained in each other's warm embrace.
