Chapter 58

Sid was restless as he waited outside. Through the glass door he watched the doctor examining Roli's condition. 

Roli flickered her eyelids slowly as she tried to open them. Her vision was blur. She couldn't see anything clearly. 

As her vision slowly got clear, she heard doctor's words "how are you feeling now?". 

Roli looked at him, nurses and then the surroundings with a blank face. She felt everything so strange. She tried to speak something but, nothing came out. 

Sid finally felt a little bit of relief as he watched Roli opening her eyes. But, a few minutes later, he got tensed as roli started crying holding her head. Nurse and doctor tried to keep her calm but they couldn't. 

Sid couldn't just stand and watch. So, he dodged in to the room, followed by Rahul. By the time he entered, nurse injected anesthesia to roli after which roli had fallen in to deep sleep. 

"What happened to roli?" Sid got anxious, watching roli in an unconscious state again. 

"Mr.Siddhant, I'll explain everything. Please, come to my cabin with me" said doctor and quit the room. 

While watching Roli, Sid followed the doctor to his cabin. 

"What's wrong? Roli is fine, right?" Sid asked. He suddenly started feeling a rare kind of fear that he never felt. 

"She is fine. But, she might not be able to remember anything related to her past" doctor informed, making Sid and Rahul confused. 

"What do you mean?" Sid frowned. 

"Patient has memory loss. Means.. she doesn't remember anything that had happened in her life till now, including her own identity" doctor's words hit Sid like a thunderstorm. 

"How is that possible?" Sid wasn't able to accept the fact. 

"As I've already mentioned, patient's injuries are severe. Her head seemed to get hit to something very hardly which effected her nerves. We could save her life but, we can't help in regaining her memory as it involves high risk" doctor explained. 

"Won't she remember if we try to recall her memories?" Rahul asked while Sid sat in shock. 

"We tried it already. Just now after she gained consciousness, we tried to make her remember her name. But, you watched how she reacted. She took stress on her mind to remember which resulted in raising her blood pressure. Her condition right now is way too sensitive. If she keeps on stressing her mind, it won't be a good sign for her health" doctor replied patiently. 

"What should we do now?" Rahul asked, glancing at Sid, who sat helplessly. 

"The only thing we can do at the moment is to take care of her without letting her to take stress. Just now we tried anesthesia to keep her calm as taking stress would effect her health badly. But, we can't continue doing that again and again. So, the best suggestion I can give you is not to let her take stress. Keep her mind at peace. That's what she needs the most at present" doctor answered. 

"When could she regain her memory?" Breaking the silence, Sid spoke slowly. 

"There's no guarantee of even if she would regain her memory or not. However, once her situation gets better, you can tell everything to her slowly. At present, it would be better for her to just let it be. She shouldn't take strain in thinking about anything" doctor responded. 

Sid got up from his chair and walked out, pensively. Lot of things were running in his mind, making him hopeless. Reaching the ICU, Sid entered and watched Roli with a heavy heart. 

"When she will wake up?" Without taking his eyes off of Roli, Sid asked the nurse, who was in the room to take care of Roli. 

"May be in an hour, sir" she replied and exit the room. 

Sid sat in chair beside the bed and held Roli's hand. Till a few minutes back, he was having a hope that his Roli would be fine. But, after knowing his Roli almost forgot him and that she couldn't even recognize him, his heart broke. 

"So.. you're not going to stop your drama, right?" He asked in a hoarse voice. 

"You know roli, I've faced the worse situations in life but.. never felt as hopeless as I'm now. I.." he couldn't continue as his throat got blocked with a lump and his eyes filled with tears. 

"The thought of staying away from you..." Sid exhaled as he was overwhelmed with the emotions floating within him. 

"But, I've to do this. For you.." tears rolled down his cheeks. "it doesn't mean you would continue your drama. Remember that your siddu is waiting for you. Just come back soon. If not for me.. atleast for our Sakshi" Sid broke down on roli's shoulder and cried. 

At this moment, he was not any gangster or any police officer. He was just a husband, who was scared of losing his wife, his life. 

Sid hadn't gotten up from her shoulder for nearly an hour. He was reluctant to leave her as if his dear life had dependent on her. 

Then he suddenly reminded the nurse's words. He got up and noticed that it was almost time for roli to wake. 

If she would see him then she might again strain herself to think about him. He had witnessed how painful she looked when she tried to remember her name an hour ago. He could never let his Roli to go through such pain again. Even if he had to stay away from her, he would. But, wouldn't let her suffer. 

"I've to leave now" Sid gently caressed her cheek and spoke "I'll take care of everything. You just take care of your health, please". 

Sid kissed on her forehead for a few seconds and unwillingly left the room before roli woke up. 

***Flashback ends***

Sid came out of the past as he sighed deeply. He didn't know how these three and half years had passed. When he got to know about roli's memory loss, he didn't expect that he would have to stay away from his roli for such a long time. 

Sid prepared everything to take care of roli and introduced nidhi in to her life. Initially when sid started thinking of the plan, he himself wanted to be with roli and take care of her. 

But, then because of his special identity as a gangster, he couldn't do that as it might not be safe for roli. And also he just couldn't give his roli's responsibility to any random person. So, he thought nidhi would be better for being with roli. 

Nidhi entered roli's life as her friend. She patiently explained roli that everything would be fine and she need not to stress herself. She took care of roli without letting her try to remember anything which might effect her health condition. 

At first roli was hesitant to talk to anyone as she couldn't recognize them. But, nidhi's friendly nature made roli comfortable and she started believing nidhi. 

All those days roli was in hospital, sid stayed near her only when she was sleeping and stayed away when she woke up. 

Not a day went for sid without seeing roli in all those days that he had to stay away from her. Though he never came in front of her, he used to watch her from distance. For he knew if he would go near her then he couldn't control his emotions. 

Even when she confronted him at the shop few days back, he didn't look directly at her. 

It was not less than a hell for sid to be away from roli. But, he had to do for her life. Every second he hoped for only one thing; Roli to return in his life. 

And now when the time had arrived for his roli to come back to him, he was nervous. He was not sure of how she would react. What if it would effect her health. Her condition got a lot better over the years but, still he was scared to tell her anything about the past. 

Roli had gone through a lot of pain whenever she tried to remember anything, which sid witnessed with his own eyes. And he couldn't see his roli in that pain again. 

"Papa.." Sid's chain of thoughts broke by his daughter's call. He looked at his princess, tenderly. 

"Would mumma come to home with us?" Sakshi asked, innocently. 

Sid felt something pricking his heart hearing his daughter's innocent question. He knew sakshi was yearning for mother's love. She was hardly six months when that tragedy happened. 

From then on, sid had taken care of every little to little things of sakshi. He told sakshi that her mumma's health wasn't well and she would return to them when she'd be fine. Though sakshi didn't understand it clearly, she had never been an adamant kid to ask about her mumma again and again. 

Whenever sakshi really felt like seeing her mumma, sid would take her out and ask nidhi to bring roli to that place. Sakshi would be happy just by looking at her mumma from distance and she'd obey sid not to disturb her mumma. 

Sid took sakshi in his lap and answered "yes, your mumma will come home now. But, mumma's health is still not completely well. So, we've to take care of her, okay". 

After whatever shaurya had done to trap roli, sid could not let his roli stay away from him. So, he decided to take roli to bharadwaj house as he couldn't take any more chances of her safety. 

"Okay, papa. I will take care of mumma" sakshi replied seriously like an adult.  

Sid smiled at his little daughter's elderly behavior.

"Shall we go meet mumma?" Sakshi asked, eager to meet her mumma. 

"Will go in a while" Sid replied, gently stroking her head.

Extremely sorry for abruptly ending the flashback. Honestly, I was clueless as to what to write there. And I can't drag it just like that for name sake. Moreover, it would be an emotional trauma for sid which I can't write. So, I thought to stop with that and start present. About veeru, you'll get to know in the climax 😜

And here I'm posting pics for only those characters who have a prominent role in the story, other than RoSid. I've given actors names for the roles sunny and nidhi initially. But, now I'm changing to other actors. Credit for the change goes to Himani di, Arisha and Sarah 😜

That's all for now. Will be back with next updates soon. Thank you so much for all of your valuable comments!😇
