Chapter 53

- At Veeru's place -

"Have you guys found anything yet?" Veeru asked with all the seriousness, making his men shiver. 

"No.. no bhai" one of the men replied, nervously. 

"Then what the hell you're all doing. It's been a week and you all good for nothing guys can't even find out about a single phone call" veeru shattered the drink glass, he was only holding, on to the ground and stood up from the sofa. 

"Bhai..  we're trying.." his men were scared to say anything as they still hadn't found a single lead about Sid's phone call. 

"Trying my foot" veeru yelled. 

"We tried tailing his car on that day itself but, after a few turns we lost its sight. And since then we hadn't found him being anywhere around" his men explained slowly. 

"Do whatever it takes.. I just have to know who called him on that day" veeru ordered his men. 

"Why you're taking it so seriously? It's not like siddhant shouldn't talk to anyone on phone. Just leave it" rajveer, who was silent until the moment, spoke up. 

"You better keep quiet, chachu. If you hadn't killed his family then he wouldn't be this big problem to me now" veeru even shouted at rajveer, making him to shut instantly. 

"I know siddhant very well. And I've never seen that tensed look in his face which I've witnessed on that day. He'd always be calm and wouldn't tense up even if he was at gun point. There's definitely something I must know about him" veeru said thinking something deeply. 

Rajveer sighed as he thought veeru was being insane to defeat sid at any cost. 

- Bhardwaj House - 

Hall was filled with a few people as it was the naming ceremony of rosid's little princess. Mausiji reached BW house early in the morning along with sunny, rahul, sameer and saket. All were busy in decorating the hall with white and pink colour balloons. 

Upstairs in rosid's room. 

"Here.. my doll is all ready" roli said after dressing up the baby in a pink colour princess dress. 

"And now she's coming to her papa" sid, who was patiently waiting for roli to done with her work so that he could take his princess in to his arms, forwarded his hands eagerly. 

"Fine, here you go" roli gave the baby to him as she rolled her eyes at his enthusiasm. 

Baby looked at sid and shook her hands in joy, making him to smile at her cute act. 

"Haww... Jumping happily after seeing your father.. papa ki bachi" roli pouted but, her heart filled with warmth as she watched the father daughter duo smiling happily. It was what she had wished for, Sid's happiness. And she could give it to him in the form of their daughter. 

A week had been passed since the little cutie entered their lives. From then on, not even for a second sid left the baby's side. He would play with his baby or just sit and admire her when the baby was asleep. He even stopped going out and would prefer to spend most of the time with the baby.

And baby too got attached to sid so much that she would start crying if she hadn't found sid near for a long time. Perhaps, due to that reason sid stayed at home mostly as he didn't want to see his doll crying. 

"Is someone being jealous?" Sid asked looking at the baby while baby just smiled still shaking hands in the air. 

"Then that someone would be you because my baby loves me more than you" roli rebutted as she kissed the baby playing in Sid's arms. 

"And baby's papa too loves you more than me" sid said softly as he gazed at roli, who was admiring the baby. 

Roli quickly raised her head up to look in to his piercing eyes. Sid moved close to her face and kissed on her left cheek. When he tried to move to her lips, roli signalled him to look at the baby in his arms, who was looking at them innocently. 

"My daughter too knows how much her papa loves her mumma" sid said huskily, making roli blush. 

"All might be waiting for us. We should go now" roli tried to control her blush and said shyly. 

Sid carefully held the baby in his arms as he descended the stairs along with roli. 

"And finally, the little VIP of today's ceremony is here!" Sunny exclaimed spotting rosid with the baby entering the hall. 

Hall was decorated with balloons in a fairy tale theme.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! You all really worked hard" roli said as she admired the decoration. 

"This is our princess's first ever occasion so, it has to be special" said rahul as he reached sid and gently pinched the baby's cheeks. 

"That's all fine but, these many toys and dolls?" Roli looked astonished at the sight of a corner of the hall that was filled with toys, princess dolls and teddy bears. 

"That is the order from our big boss which we obeyed" sunny pointed at sid as he replied. 

Roli turned to sid in surprise as she said "she is still too young to play with all these". 

"Then let her play whenever she wants" sid reasoned calmly. 

"Yeah. And roli, it's not like the baby's parents are short of money or something. They can buy the toys exist in the whole world with the money they have" sunny joked. 

"That's not a bad idea, either" sid spoke, earnestly. 

"You mean.. like buying all the toys in the world?" roli asked in disbelief. 

"Huh.. if my princess wants it then it'd happen" sid simply replied as if he was talking about buying a chocolate. 

"Bhai.. I was joking about it" sunny smiled. 

"But, I like the idea" sid calmly stared at him, making him to roll his eyes. 

"Oh god! If you pamper our baby like this then she would be spoiled and wouldn't listen to anyone" roli said without knowing whether to laugh or cry at Sid's pampering. 

"And she doesn't need to listen to anyone" sid said as he looked down at the baby in his arms and caressed baby's cheek affectionately. 

While everyone in the hall sighed helplessly as they witnessed Sid's unlimited pampering for his daughter.

"Everything is ready. Stop talking there and come here" mausiji walked out of the pooja room and ordered. 

Mausiji had arranged for a special pooja for the baby. Sid wouldn't believe much in God and all these things. However, since it was for his child, he agreed for it. 

Roli took the baby in her arms as they sat down to do pooja while sid sat beside her. 

After the pooja was done, mausiji turned to rosid and asked "have you both decided any name for the baby?". 

When sid was about to speak, he heard roli saying "Sakshi". 

Sid turned to roli in surprise as he was about to say the same name too. 

"I thought baby's name as Sakshi" roli said looking at sid, who was still in surprise thinking how could she come up with the same name that was in his mind. 

"Sakshi.. it's cute" tanvi said, excitedly. 

"Is it fixed then?" Mausiji asked looking at sid while he nodded as 'yes' with a smile. 

"So, the name is Sakshi" sunny almost shouted in joy. 

"Don't shout" sid hit him on his shoulder as he signalled at the baby, who was sleeping peacefully in roli's arms. 

"Oh baby, I want to play with you and you're sleeping" sunny looked at the baby with pout. 

As the baby was sleeping, roli carried her to their room and sid accompanied them. 

Roli made the baby lay on the bed while sid covered the baby with quilt. Roli watched sid as how carefully he was arranging pillows at sides so that baby wouldn't get hurt by rolling down the bed. 

"Siddu..." Roli called in a low voice.  

"Hmm.." sid hummed without taking his head off his child. 

"I'm sorry" roli said, making sid to look at her in surprise. 

"For what?" Sid furrowed.

"For not asking your opinion about name. You might've thought some name too, right" roli said, apologetically. 

"Would you believe if I say that I've thought the same name that you thought" sid replied with a sigh as he was worried of roli's sudden apology. 

"Really?" Roli looked at him stunned. 

Sid nodded as he explained "Roli, you know how my life is. I've lost a lot in my life and even the hope of having happiness. My life filled with darkness without any sunshine. Then came you in my life, giving a hope of rebuilding my own happiness. And now this bundle of cuteness. I've heard that every dark night is followed by a bright day but, never really believed in it. Perhaps, it was the moment I took my daughter in my arms did I feel like I've got my sunshine, a ray of happiness in my life all over again. And I just can't express that happiness... It's just beyond words. Then I had to believe that every dark night is definitely followed by a bright day. For me, my baby is the proof for that bright day, that happiness in my life. And that's what Sakshi is meant right, Proof. So, I just thought that name". 

Roli silently listened to him with the moist eyes. She just realized that it might be the one of those rarest times where sid spoke so much at once. Sid was a man of actions more than words and never used to say much. But, now he couldn't contain to share his happiness with his roli.  

"That's the same reason I thought this name" roli smiled emotionally, wondering how well their thinking was in sync with each other. 

Sid, who was admiring his baby all the time that he was speaking, raised his head to spot tears brimming in roli's eyes. 

Roli was the same too. They both were in the same ships after losing their families. Sid got up and walked to her side. 

Sid settled down beside her as he pulled her in to his embrace and wiped off the tears as soon as they slipped out of her eyes. 

"Everything is fine now" though sid himself was in an emotional state too, but he quickly got control over himself and tried to confort roli. 

Roli nodded as she leaned on to his chest, comfortably. Sid wrapped his arms around her and pulled closer. He watched his baby sleeping and his roli in his arms. And suddenly everything felt so peaceful that he wished for the time to be paused at the moment.
