"Careful..Careful..' weeps sid helping the police to pull jamunlal's body out of the crushed car. 

"He's alive..He's alive' sid burst into tears after finding jamunlal's chest raising up and down. 

They slowly dropped jamunlal down...

"Papa...' called sid pressing his palm in jamunlal's temple to stop the flowing of  blood. 

"just stay with me.. stay with me' mumbles him while tears streaming down. 

Jamunlal squinted his eyes and groans in pain,

"si..' jamunlal coughed,

"Don't speak papa, it will hurt you' cries sid pressing his fingers in jamunlal's mouth stopping him. 

"Where is the ambulance?...' sneered sid at the police then looked down as jamunlal tugged his shirt. 

"Ro-Ro-Roli..?'

"Roli? She's here.I'll call her. Roli? Roli? Roliiiii?...' screams sid at roli who was crying hugging her dead mother. Roli raised her head and found sid was waving at her. 

"Papa' sid pointed at jamunlal with a small smile in his face. Roli jumped on her feet,. "Papaa' she ran near her father fell in her knees beside him. 

Fresh tears scrolls down along with blood in jamunlal's cheeks. 

"No..' she shook her head wiping his cheeks. Jamunlal grabbed sid's right hand,

"b-be wi-wi-with my b-ba-baby g-g-irl alw-always sid-si..' 

Jamunlal's pupils stopped and his mouth hanged open. 

"Papa?...' calls roli cupping his cheeks. Sid covered his face with his palms and sobs aloud. 

"Papa?..Papa?.. don't leave me..don'ttt' roli shook her father furiously shouts. 

"Papaaa' squeaks her fell on her father's chest. 

TWO DAYS LATER

Roli flinched as she felt a strong arm around her waist. Soon a warmness surrounded her. A sob escaped from her mouth,

"Why did they leave me sidhant?...' asks her pulling sid's hand more around her seeking his comfort. 

"You have to eat something for...for our little one roli...'

Roli turned on Sid's side and looked her teary eyes with his red shot one. More tears slipped down from her eyes,

 "You should not punish our baby bear like this..Have something, please roli' mumbles him wiping her tears. Roli's hand moved down placed it above sid's which was on her tummy. 

"They could not even see their grandchild sidhant..i don't have anyone. I have no one to call relatives. I am an orphan now' roli choked threw herself in sid's arms wrapping her hands around his neck. Sid runs his fingers in her tresses thinks something deeply. 

NEXT DAY:

MORNING:

"Good morning roli'  someone greeted roli waking her up. She opened her swollen eyes,

"Di?...' she sat up on the bed suprise written all over her face.

"Good morning future Mummy' airaa placed her hand on roli's belly grins fondly. 

A smile crept over roli's lips...

"Hey girls' dhruv entered into the room with a cover. 

"what you all are doing here?...where is sidhant by the way?' queries roli in confusion. 

"We are going somewhere roli and about sidhant i don't know' informed airaa taking the cover from dhruv. 

"What do you mean you don't know?..' roli scrunched her eyebrows. 

"Oh mumma first get up and get ready' roli hauled roli's hand before pushing her inside the washroom.

AFTER AN HOUR

"can you please tell me, why did you make me to wear this saree and where is my sidhant?...' frustrated roli. 

"Calm down mumma...get in the car, I'll explain everything' 

"no..tell me, where is he? I want to see him' roli begins to cry making airaa groan. 

"God this pregnant lady and her mood swings..' huffed airaa. Roli weeps heavily and starts coughing,

"Oh Oh mumma, Stop crying. Your sidhant is in the college as john sir called him..are you happy now?...' airaa sighed as roli nodded her head and wipes her nose with her saree pallu. 

"Girls get in' said dhruv sitting in the driving seat. 

"Please Madam' airaa pleased opening the back door. Roli pouted her lips then occupied the back seat followed by airaa. 

"Why this saree?..' inquired roli checking the gorgeous pink saree with a smile. 

"I thought she forgot...' mumbles airaa under her breath before whipped her head on roli's side and smiles sheepishly.

"Actually...Actually, we have arranged a small puja for your baby..'

"Oh, why sidhant didn't say anything about this?..'

"Maybe he forgot in tension?..' stated airaa like a question. 

"Maybe' roli shrugged her shoulders. 

"will sidhant come?...' 

"How many questions roli?...' thinks airaa cries inside. She composed herself,

"ofcourse he's the father of the child' airaa shows her full teeth. Roli smiled then turned her head looks out. Airaa saw dhruv showing thumbs up at her in rearview mirror, she took a deep breath in relief shaking her head.

MATARANI TEMPLE

Roli, airaa and dhruv stepped inside the temple. They found rocky and samira were talking to pandit. 

"Hey guys' calls dhruv walks near them. 

"where is sidhant?..' asks roli searching for sidhant. 

"I'm here mumma bear' 

She turned and spotted sid. Without wasting a second she rushed and hugged him tightly. 

"Where did you go? I was waiting for y..'

"WILL YOU MARRY ME?...' 

Roli's breath stopped for a second..

"W-Wh-What?..' 

Roli covered her mouth as sid went on his knees opened a velvet box in front of her which has a beautiful mangalsutra in it. 

"Marry me roli' pleased him literally. Roli joined him in the ground,

"Yes-Yes I will' she hugged him tightly.

Sidhant filled roli's forehead with sindoor. He took the mangalsutra in his hands then tied it around roli's neck who was crying in happiness. 

They both looked into each other eyes. Sid joined his forehead with hers and cupped her cheeks. 

"Don't tell you're an orphan anymore. I'm here for you. Your husband is here! Your baby is here! You're not alone. We both are here to take care of you mumma bear' 

"I'm sorry' apologized roli as she recalled what she had blurted out last night. 

"I love you' confessed sid kissed her forehead.

"so much..i love you so much' replied roli buried her face in his chest. 

"Ok Mr and Mrs. Bhardwaj if you both are finished shall we take selfie' airaa interrupted making other grunt. Rosid moved back and laughs at rocky who slapped airaa's back head.
