Chapter 47

Next day morning, RoSid with their friends were having breakfast. Sameer too joined them on roli's insisting. 

As Sameer was having meeting in evening, he was free until then. Roli and he were chit-chatting with eachother after breakfast. 

Sid, who was with his friends at a little distance away from them, was watching them with a cold gaze. 

Roli talking to someone else without paying attention to him, was making his heart to burn. 

For more than an hour Roli kept talking to Sameer, without giving a glance at Sid. It was boiling him. 

"Roli's friend looks so handsome, right" Ruchi commented as she watched roli and Sameer at a distance. 

"Girl, consider your boyfriend's feelings" Arun pointed at Nitesh, who was staring at Ruchi. 

"What's there to consider? I'm just stating the fact" Ruchi continued as she enjoyed the jealousy look on Nitesh. 

"Now I can see the horns on nitesh's head" Arun chuckled at the pity state of Nitesh. 

"And I can see horns somewhere else too" Ritika interrupted, looking at Sid, who was busy staring at roli and Sameer. 

"Yeah. Why I'm focusing on side character leaving the main hero here" Arun turned to Sid with a giggle. 

"Because you don't have brain" Sid stared at Arun. He was already burning inside and arun's words making him more annoyed. 

"I have. And a very smart one" Arun rebutted like a kid.

"Then prove it" Sid said in a challenging tone.

"How?" Arun looked confused. 

"Do whatever. But, roli's complete attention should be on me right now" Sid said, emphasizing each word. 

"Damn it. You're jealous" Arun stated with a chuckle. 

"Can you do it or not?" Sid asked, impatiently. 

"Can you endure a little pain?" Arun asked back. 

"Huh?" Even before Sid could understand what he meant, he received a solid punch on his forehead. 

"Abbey... Kameeney" Sid held his forehead with his palms and railed at Arun for punching him. 

"Oh god! Sid, what happened?" By giving a deaf ear to Sid's scoldings, Arun shouted loudly, grabbing roli's attention. 

Roli turned to find Sid holding his head. Worried, she immediately ran over to him, followed by Sameer. 

"What happened?" Roli quickly held Sid's arm and asked, concerned. 

Sid just shook his head and didn't speak. The punch was really hard and he was actually feeling a little pain. 

"He is having headache, roli" Arun responded from aside. 

Nitesh, Ruchi and Ritika stared at Arun as they saw what he did. While Sameer stood silently and watching Sid. 

"Are you alright?" Roli held Sid's face with one hand and asked worriedly. Her face almost turned pale to watch him in pain. 

"I'm fine" Sid slowly replied as he didn't want to make her worried. 

"Yesterday you both were roaming in the sunlight all the day. May be that's why he's feeling headache. You should take him to room. If he takes rest, he'll be fine" Arun blabbered whatever reason he could come up with. 

"Should I call doctor?" Sameer asked with concern.

"No need of doctor. He'll be fine after taking some rest. Roli, take him to room" Arun said, trying to finish his drama. 

Roli carefully held him and walked towards their room. Sid almost turned Arun in to ashes with his killer glare as he walked past him. 

After they were gone, Sameer too left to his room. Arun turned to his gang with a victorious smile. 

"Such a dramatic guy you are" Nitesh shook his head in disbelief, watching all the drama. 

"Whatever. I did what he asked for. Hence proved, I've a smart brain" Arun stated with pride. 

In the room, roli made Sid to lay down on bed and searched for balm in the bedside drawer. 

"There is no balm in the room. I'll go get it from out" roli said as she tried to go. 

Sid soon held her wrist and made her to sit beside him on the bed. 

"I'm fine, roli" Sid said, feeling bad to make her worried. 

"What fine? You could've told me, right? I didn't know you would get headache with sunlight. I shouldn't have asked you to go out" roli started blaming herself. 

The previous day, she kept asking him to visit all the nearest places around the resort. And Sid didn't deny her and they wandered all the streets. So, she genuinely felt bad thinking he was suffering with headache because of her. 

"I said I'm fine, right?" Sid was helpless to see her worried. 

"Don't talk" roli's voice sounded hoarse as she tried to not to cry. 

Roli leaned on to him and started massaging his head to make him feel relaxed. 

By now a little pain that Sid felt in his forehead was subsided. He wasn't feeling pain anymore. But, still his heart was feeling heavy watching her pale face. 

"We'll leave to Delhi" roli spoke as she continued to massage his head. 

"Why so soon? It's only been one day" Sid queried, looking at her, who was almost laying above him. 

"You're not feeling fine. If we keep roaming here, your health might get effected" roli said, earnestly. 

Sid was surprised to see this matured side of roli. He had always viewed her as an innocent, careless kid. Her elderly behaviour surprised him. 

With a smile he wrapped his right arm around her waist, which  accidentally slided inside her T-shirt. 

Roli felt an electric shock as she felt his touch on her bare skin. Even Sid was stunned at the sudden touch of their skins. 

Sid looked into her eyes while roli looked everywhere but, him. The way she was already leaning on to him and his accidental touch, suddenly turned the atmosphere in the room in to an intimate one. 

Roli stopped massaging his head and tried to get up from him. 

Sid promptly held on to her tightly which caused his hand to slide more in to her T-shirt. 

Without giving her any other chance to escape, Sid rolled on the bed, bringing roli beneath him. 

Roli tightly clutched his shirt as he rolled her. When she raised her head to look at him, his piercing eyes were drawn in to hers deeply as if he was studying the depths of her heart. 

With sudden change of the atmosphere, roli's heart started beating rapidly. She just wanted to disappear from the place to hide her cherry red face from him. 

Sid started moving closer to her face, making her restless. His arms were wrapped around her, completely caging her in his embrace. 

Roli's eyes slowly shut down as his warm breath approached her. In less than two seconds later, she felt his lips pressing down on her soft lips. 

Sid's right hand stroked her bare waist as he started kissing her slowly and softly. 

Roli's senses became numb in his kiss as her hands subconsciously reached his back and clutched his shirt. 

Sid softly bit her lower lip as he deepen the kiss and started kissing her passionately. Roli seemed to be under his spell as she responded to him. 

The kiss was so deep that they started feeling out of breath. Still, Sid wasn't in the mood to stop. 

And finally, it was roli, who broke the kiss, gently pushing him away by pressing her hand on his chest. 

Sid joined his forehead with hers and they both breathed heavily without opening their eyes. 

It took a few moments for them to finally be able to get back to their normal breath. 

Sid placed a feathery kiss on her forehead, still closing his eyes as he whispered in a husky voice "I love you". 

Roli's eyes got wide opened as she heard him. She looked at him in disbelief. She badly wanted to hear those words from him. But, didn't expect he would say it so suddenly when she wasn't prepared. 

"What did you say?" Roli asked, curiously to assure herself she wasn't dreaming. 

Sid calmly watched her curious face and placed another kiss on her forehead. Then without speaking a word, he hugged her, nudging his face into her neck. 

Roli felt a tickle as his warm breath hit the crook of her neck. 

Sid seemed to be realised that he was completely leaned on to her, keeping all of his weight on her. He slowly rolled back and laid down with roli above him. 

"I love you, too" roli confessed, cuddling to him. Though he didn't repeat what he said, she still felt so happy to hear those words from him for the first time. 

Later in evening, the whole gang went on sight seeing. As roli thought Sid wasn't feeling well, she didn't want to go out and rather thought to stay back in room to make him take rest. 

Sid couldn't tell it was all an act and he had to assure her that he was fine. Only after she felt he was fine did she agreed to go out. Her caring made Sid to love her even more. 

They visited a few places nearby and went into a coffee shop. There was an open area outside with a few tables at different spots. They all occupied a table and ordered coffee. 

Just then roli saw a vendor selling balloons. She went near him and bought two heart shaped balloons. 

Roli was returning while playing with the balloons. Suddenly one of the balloons in her hand bursted, making her jerked. She raised her head to see Sid giggling.  

"Who'll play with balloons in this age?" Sid rolled his eyes. 

"I'll play" roli said in huff. 

"Let me see how you'll play" Sid forwarded his hand to burst the balloon but, roli took a backward step away from him. 

"No.." roli kept a crying face as she continued to walk backwards. There were only two balloons when she bought. If Sid burst them all, she might not get them anywhere at the moment. 

"Yes" with a devilish smirk, Sid continued to move towards her. 

When Sid forwarded his hand to reach the balloon, roli twisted her hand to back. Even so the balloon was bursted. 

Roli quickly turned back and found a guy in a waiter uniform standing with a tray of spoons and a knife. 

"I.. I'm sorry madam. I.. was going..into.. kitchen. And.. didn't.. see you... Coming" the guy stammered as his face covered with a cold sweat. 

"It's ok" roli calmly replied. She was walking backwards and didn't see him so, she couldn't blame him. 

But, Sid found the guy a bit strange. He observed his face carefully and then glanced at the tray in his hands. 

They were in a coffee shop, where only coffee is available. What use did they have with such knife? And it didn't even look like it would be used to chop vegetables. Even so, why would he need to hold it in his hand while all the other spoons were in the tray. Moreover his stammering words, made Sid more suspicious. 

"I..I'm sorry" the guy said one last time and almost ran out of there. 

Sid kept watching the guy leaving the place hurriedly. 

"Are you happy now?" Roli turned to sid and asked with a pout. 

"You go back to the table. I'll just come" sid said as he felt suspicious over the guy. 

"Where you're going?" Roli asked, looking at him. 

"I'll come, you go" saying so sid followed the guy, leaving roli confused. 

The guy thrown away the tray in his hands after moving out of their sight and started running out. 

Sid, who almost reached him, found him running and he too ran after him. When the guy found sid following him, he ran even faster and went near the bike that was parked in a little distance away from the coffee shop. 

When sid watched him starting the bike, he was stunned for a moment. It was the same bike, which was about to hit roli the previous day. He thought it might be an accident and didn't think much over it. 

But, now the realization hit sid that it was a well planned attempt to hurt roli. Even now the guy was about to hurt roli. But, fortunately roli kept the balloon at back when he was about to stab her and it caused the balloon to burst. And with that sound roli and sid became alert and he failed to do anything. 

Sid's blood started rushing with rage through the nerves as he understood that someone was trying to hurt his roli. 

The guy started the bike, pulling it on to the road and drove away in high speed. 

Sid couldn't care less about the surroundings as he ran after the bike even though it was on the road. He kept running after it amongst all the vehicles. 

But, the bike's speed was too high for sid to reach it by running. Still he didn't give up and kept running after it. 

The guy crossed the road and drove away. Sid too tried to cross and follow the bike but, soon was pulled back by a strong arm. 

Sid, who was already burning with anger, quickly raised his hand to hit the person who pulled him back. 

"Relax, dude.." the person reacted soon and held Sid's hand even before it could land a punch on his face. 

It was the moment when sid looked at the person's face. He happened to be sameer. 

"What's wrong with you? Why are you running in the middle of the road?" Sameer shot questions. 

Sid looked around and realized where he was. If sameer hadn't pulled him back, he would have got hit by a car passing by the road. 

"Is everything okay?" Sameer asked as he found sid watching around as if he was searching for something. 

Sid didn't respond as tried to calm down his breath. He could've chopped off the guy who tried to hurt roli. But, his fate might be at his favour that he got escaped. 

"Sir, everybody is waiting for you" a guy in formal suit reached them and said to sameer. 

Sameer was having a meeting in the restaurant. When he was about to enter in to it, he found sid running on the road. He also saw a car driving towards sid. So, he immediately rushed to sid and pulled him away. 

"You should go back to your meeting. I'm fine" sid said as he didn't want to disturb sameer's meeting. 

Though sameer didn't agree to what sid said as "I'm fine", he still left nodding his head. He decided to talk to sid later. 

With various thoughts running in his mind, sid returned to the coffee shop where all were waiting for him.
