Chapter 42

Roli was mad at sid for not letting her go on trip. She didn't talk to him after their conversation in evening. Even when he was around her, she ignored him. 

Roli always used to sit beside sid in dinning table. But, while having dinner, she sat opposite to him and didn't look at him. 

By now sid understood that she was angry. But, he didn't try to please her. When roli was about to go to her room after having dinner, sid stood blocking her way. 

Roli only glared at him and didn't speak. She moved to side but sid too moved, blocking her again. Whichever side roli tried to move, sid would block her way. 

"Maa, tell him to get out of my way" annoyed, roli turned to sujata and said. 

"Keep me out of it" sujata stated clearly not wanting to get in to their fight. "I've filled the water bottles, don't forget to take with you to your rooms". 

Saying so, sujata turned and left the dinning hall, leaving rosid alone. 

"Move aside. I'm getting sleep" roli said, keeping a straight face, without looking at him. 

Instead of moving away, sid took steps forward and moved close to her. Roli took a backward step and got hit by the dinning chair while sid moved even closer and trapped her in between him and the dinning table. 

Roli tilted her head up to say something but, no words came out of her mouth as she watched sid's face nearing hers. 

"No.." blush crept over roli's cheeks as she tried to push him away by placing her hand on his chest. 

Sid seemed to not listened a word as he continued to move forward. When sid almost reached near her lips, roli tightly shut down her eyelids and clutched his shirt. 

Just a two milli meters away from her lips, sid stopped and gazed at her tightly shut eyes. A few seconds later, roli didn't feel his warm breath on her face and nothing happened as she had expected. 

Roli slowly opened her eyes and found sid leaning on to her only to take water bottle from the table behind her. She looked away while cursing herself for her wild imagination. 

"I was just taking the water bottle" after retrieving the water bottle, sid moved a little away from roli and showed the bottle in his hand. 

"What did you think, btw?" Sid raised his eyebrows with a smirk. 

"No.. nothing" roli stammered and tried to run away from his sight. 

"Take this" sid pulled her towards him sideways by wrapping his left hand around her waist and handed a water bottle to her. 

Roli almost snatched it from him and left without giving a glance at him. 

"Such a drama queen" sid shook his head in despair.  

Next day afternoon, roli, sujata and mataji were there in the hall chatting about some random stuff. 

Roli's smile turned in to a glare as she spotted sid descending the stairs. She turned her face away from him angrily like a kid. 

Sid came down and sat beside roli, opposite to sujata and mataji. 

"Siddhant, when you're joining your papa in the family business" mataji asked as now he had completed his studies. 

"Just in few days" sid turned his attention from roli and answered. 

"And mataji, I'm going on a trip with my friends tomorrow. Will return after one week" sid informed while roli turned to look at him. 

"Where you're going?" Mataji asked. 

"Goa" sid replied, taking a secret glance at roli. 

"Not letting me to go but, now he's going with his friends" roli thought as she glared at him. 

"But, by mistake I've booked one extra flight ticket, which I'm unable to cancel. So, I just wanted to ask if anyone of you would like to join us" sid asked, taking a look at both mataji and sujata. 

"What we are going to do with you young people" mataji laughed at his suggestion. 

"Siddhant beta, we know that it's not a mistake and you've booked that extra ticket for roli. So, stop playing around" sujata quickly understood her son's mind and exposed him. 

"Maa, seriously? Why would I want to take this headache with me?" Sid pointed at roli which she promptly held and shoved away. 

"Leave him, roli. You wanted to go to goa anyway, now it's a chance. Ruchi and ritika will also be there, you can enjoy" sujata said. 

Roli then thought for a while. She wanted to go to goa, what matters if it was with her classmates or sid's friends. Anyways, she was more close to Sid's friends than her classmates. And sid would also be there with her. 

"I want to go too" after thinking for a while, roli spoke "but.." she turned to sid as she wasn't sure if he would take her with him or not. 

"Siddhant" mataji called out as if saying him to take roli along with him.

"If she troubles me then I'm gonna return home, leaving her there alone" sid feigned like he wasn't interested to take her along with him. 

"She won't. And you better don't shout at her or fight with her" sujata said. She was the one who had to bear their fights and settle them most of the time. So, she was naturally worried of how they would stay together away from home. 

Then after a little chit chat, sujata and mataji left to their respective rooms to take some rest. Now only roli and sid were left in the hall. 

"You're not talking to those idiots of your class, right?" Sid suddenly asked earnestly. 

"You've blocked all the numbers" roli stated the fact. 

"And no need to unblock them" sid said arrogantly. 

"So.. is it jealous?" Roli looked in to his eyes as if she was searching something in it. 

"Jealous? Are those scumbags even capable of making me jealous?" Sid scoffed in disdain. 

"Then why you don't want me to talk to them?" Roli raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms as she stared at him. 

Sid moved close, making her confused and whispered in a husky voice "because they're not as talented as me to bear you chikchik pikpik".

"You think too highly of yourself" Roli stared at him blankly as sid smiled devilishly. 

"So... Am I not talented?" Sid started moving close to her. 

Roli suddenly looked around anxiously to see if anyone is there around as they were in the middle of the hall. 

"What are you doing?" Roli gently pushed him away with a blush. 

"What I did now?" Sid moved back, wearing an innocent expression of a kid. 

"You..." Roli stopped without knowing what to say. 

"Why you didn't tell me about your goa trip till now?" Roli asked, diverting the topic. 

"Someone was ignoring me so much that I didn't get a chance to speak to them" sid mocked. 

Roli looked away at his comment. 

"Tomorrow sharp 10 am, be ready. If not, good bye I'll go alone" sid informed as he got up and left to his room. 

Roli watched him leave and sighed. Little did she know was the goa trip was planned by sid the previous night in an instant moment. He knew she wanted to go but, he couldn't let her go alone and definitely not with her classmates, who were waiting for a chance to get her. 

Thus, to keep her safe, he denied to let her go with her classmates. But, then again, it was roli's wish to go so, sid himself planned the trip, informed his friends, who were literally shocked about the sudden plan, and booked flight tickets and arranged everything. And he did all these the previous night when he went to his room after denying roli to the trip with her classmates.
