Chapter 61

Roli entered the kitchen while thinking about Sid and their closeness a while ago. She was so immersed in thoughts that she did not notice Nidhi entering the kitchen at the same time and got bumped in to her.

"Oh.. open your eyes and walk, roli" nidhi rubbed her elbow which got hit to the door.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming" roli apologized, finally coming out of her dreamland.

"Where are you lost, btw?" Nidhi asked, keenly observing roli's smiling face.

"Nowhere" roli walked in to kitchen and kept the glass in her hand on the counter.

"I'm stupid to ask such question. It's obvious that you were thinking about siddhant bhaiya, right?" Nidhi walked over and asked holding roli.

Roli's cheeks started to turn red even unknown to herself at the mention of Sid's name.

"No. I'm.. not thinking about anyone" roli turned against nidhi and tried to control her blush.

At the time Tanvi walked in with a bag and placed it down on the kitchen counter.

"Wow! Raw mangoes! Tanvi, are you going to give us any good news?" glancing at the bag, nidhi asked with a naughty smirk.

"You again started it" tanvi rolled her eyes at nidhi in disbelief. "These are for Roli di".

"So, Roli is giving good news?" nidhi turned to roli with a smile but gained a glare in return.

"Roli di loves mangoes. So, I asked rahul to bring these" tanvi explained before nidhi could come up with some other reason.

"You know that I love raw mangoes?" Roli looked at tanvi in surprise.

"Roli, it's you who lost the memory. Not us" nidhi chuckled but soon stopped, watching roli's sad face.

"Well.. tanvi, since roli returned now, you should think about your baby" nidhi switched the topic as she would not want to upset roli talking about her memory loss.

"If that's the case then you should also think about your marriage, which is long pending" tanvi replied with a chuckle.

"Marriage?" Roli looked stunned at the mention of nidhi's marriage.

"Arey.. I was about to tell you but, did not get the chance" nidhi immediately explained about her and Sunny's relationship.

"You postponed your marriage because of me" roli was clearly upset to know nidhi had to stay away from the person she loved because of her.

"Isn't that a good chance for me to enjoy my life a bit more?" Nidhi giggled to ease the situation.

Tanvi understood nidhi's concern and joined her to change the topic. They both talked about some random things to avoid roli from thinking about any unwanted things.

At night, as promised sid told a story to sakshi. While she hugged her papa and slept. Roli entered the room and stood at entrance, watching sid coaxing the little girl to sleep.

Roli was truly surprised to see how well sid had taken care of their daughter. She started feeling guilty for not being able to take care of her daughter.

Not only that, she got to know about the things which others had done for her. Like nidhi and sunny postponing their marriage while nidhi stayed with roli for three and half years. Also rahul and tanvi had not had their own child as they wanted to help sid in taking care of sakshi.

All these things made her feel guilty. Though it was unintentional, she still took blame on herself for stopping others from having their own happiness.

With all those thoughts, roli slowly walked in, grabbing Sid's attention. He gently adjusted the sleeping sakshi on bed and stood up.

"I.. want to talk.." roli hesitantly spoke, wondering about how to start the conversation.

"Okay" sid was surprised to hear but still focused all his attention to listen to her.

"Um.. is there any way to regain my memory?" Roli asked with a hope. At the point, she really wanted to remember all the memories with her loved ones.

Sid looked even more surprised at her question. He was actually not expecting her to ask something like that.

"No" still in surprise, sid answered. Roli looked disappointed at his answer.

"I mean.. there is a way but, it will give you a lot of pain if you try to remember it" watching her disappointed face, sid explained calmly.

"It's okay. I can handle it..."

"But, I can't" sid promptly interrupted her, making her stunned.

Roli looked into his eyes and realized that he was serious about what he just said.

While sid remained silent as the picture of roli's painful face, from hospital when she tried to remember herself, flashed in his mind. It was still a nightmare for him which he could not bear to see again.

"You don't need to go through that pain, roli. Leave about it. Take rest" sid spoke after a few seconds of silence.

Not wanting to brag about the topic, Roli moved to other side of the bed and sat at the edge, thinking about something.

"You sleep on bed. I'll settle on couch" sid thought she might feel uncomfortable to sleep if he was near.

"No. It's okay.." roli said bluntly even without her own knowledge and then stopped immediately realizing what she said.

Sid was about to get up when he heard roli. Sitting back on to bed, he turned to roli in surprise. He looked at her in eagerness to know what she actually meant by it.

"Woh..." Roli was stuck without knowing what to say as she herself could not get why she stopped him from sleeping on couch.

"I.. mean.. sakshi might wake up.. she is used to sleep with you.. so.." she continued in a low voice, keeping her gaze down.

"Fine, then. Let's sleep here itself" Sid smiled, which roli missed to see.

Laying down on the bed at either sides of sakshi, roli could not dare to look at him. While sid could not stop gazing at her.

The next few days passed so quickly as sid got to deal a lot of things regarding shaurya and rajveer.

Meanwhile, Roli and sakshi bonded very well with each other. Roli tried every best way to be a good mother to sakshi. And sakshi was more than happy to be with her mumma.

As for Roli and Sid, though she did not completely accept him as her husband yet, she still started having a soft corner in her heart for him. His caring nature and love in his eyes always made her surprised. She even started talking to him without any hesitation. And sid was waiting for the day when she would finally return to him as his roli.

One fine evening, sid planned to take roli to some place. He started in his car while roli sat in the passenger's seat with sakshi in her lap.

Sitting in Roli's lap, Sakshi started speaking about random things with her cute actions. Roli enjoyed chit-chatting with her daughter while Sid focused on driving as he listened to the conversation between mother and daughter with a smile. 

After reaching the outskirts of the city, Sid stopped the car near a daabha. Sakshi excitedly got down while Roli scanned the surroundings. 

It was a less crowded area with not many people in the daabha. Roli silently watched the surroundings as some blurred visions played in her mind. 

Visions of a guy and a girl, walking on the same road by holding each others hands under moonlight. 

"Papa, this place is so beautiful" Sakshi commented with a bright smile. 

With trees covering either sides of the road and less traffic, made it look like a scenery and peaceful too. Sakshi really couldn't contain her excitement as she watched the greenery filled surroundings. 

"You loved the place?" Picking her up in to his arms, Sid asked pinching her little nose. Sakshi nodded excitedly.

Jumping down from Sid's arms, Sakshi took out the balloon that she bought on the way and ran towards what looked like a small park beside the daabha to play. 

Sid smiled watching his excited daughter and turned to Roli, who was still watching the surroundings with keen attention. 

"Roli.." Sid called, breaking her thoughts. 

"Have I been to this place already?" Roli queried as she felt the place familiar, still watching around. 

Sid smiled with satisfaction as his plan started working. He then nodded "yes". 

Roli's head turned to Sid, her face was filled with surprise. The blurred visions she was having were her memories from past. She felt excited. 

"I can't let you go through the pain to regain your memory. But, I can atleast recreate those memories for you. So, this is the start of it. This is your favourite place and we've visited it a few times before. And you please don't stress yourself to remember anything. I will recreate all those moments of us together" as Sid finished speaking, Roli's heart felt warm. 

Roli stood stunned as she witnessed his undying love yet for another time. In these few days she got back to her family, she saw Sid's concern through actions. But, for the first time she heard him say his concern filled words directly. 

"Papa, my balloon!" They heard Sakshi's cry and found her balloon got stuck up in a tree. 

Sid rushed there, grabbed the balloon and handed it to his daughter. 

Roli was watching them as her eyes welled up. She suddenly started viewing Sid in a new light... Perhaps, as a soulmate!
