CHAPTER 27

SIDDHANT'S P.O.V

I rubbed my eyes as the scorching sunlight entered my eyes. The first thing I noticed was Roli plaiting her hair. She was getting ready for college. Her pink salwar fitted perfectly to her frame and its dori gave it a more stunning look. I looked at her without blinking my eyes; this girl had made me a bit crazy I believe. But I'm just like hypnotized, still staring at her. And that was when my eyes fell on the clock on the wall. And that made me get an exit from fantast world. It showed 8:30. I instantly jumped out of my bed. "Roli...Why you didn't wake me up? It's already late..." I said to her. She turned and gave me a unpleasant look. "Areyy...yesterday night, who told me don't disturb sleep? You or your ghost? Then now you're complaining I didn't wake you up..." He complained. "Whatever...I got to get fresh..." I was about to go in to the bathroom when she naughtily asked "What if I lock you in like the other day?" This was in fact a question. What would I do? "If you do so, I'll..." I moved closer to her and she looked dazed for a moment. "I would do nothing...i will break this door too..." I laughed and she too. "I think then papa would put us out soon..." she said. "For what?" I asked. "For breaking doors daily..." I laughed at her comment and went in. After a while, we had our breakfast. Ma and Jhanvi had returned last night. It was quite lucky that I just changed the door yesterday morning itself. Otherwise Jasoos Jhanvi would have discovered it and reported to dad. Well...I hope Roli won't spill beans over Mom's broken bowl set. Luckily she didn't too. Finally we were off to college. This time, Roli was sitting quite confidently at the bike and guess what, she had taken the freedom of holding my shoulders. This girl is different as a friend and as enemy. Well.. We reached the college. All way Roli was babbling her plans to punish devils. But I guess, they won't even show up after yesterday's hot water bath...It would have been terrible. Roli asked me to go with her to canteen to see if the devils were there. She believed they would be there. Actually both our guesses were partially right. The boys were there but the girls were absent. How will those girls appear, after all their faces were burnt!!! Well...as of Khushi, Simar would have employed her for caretaking job. Roli now nudged me and I looked at her without understanding what. She hissed something in my ears. OMG,...that was a plan. I laughed and agreed. We did a high fi and went to execute our plan.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Much later, the devils were queuing outside the toilet, after all they had eaten such an exotic dish. What happened was like this, Roli and me, we bribed the waiter in the canteen and he added a special thing in their coffee. That was just simple; few spoons of Vim...And as a result, the boys were having a disco dance in their stomachs. Well...there is no need to explain more right...me and Roli were having fun. And in that happiness, we drank a cappuccino together. Now that we were together, the whole college had started seeing as the lovebirds. But they don't know how the lovebirds fight inside bedroom. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------During the lunch break I met Roli again and know what, she was crying. I was really upset. Her tears did a good job of hurting my heart. I asked her what happened and after much compulsion she came out with it. She had called her dad and he didn't lift the phone. I knew that she was a dad's girl and this ignorance was really hurting her. "Siddhant...will papa never forgive me?" she asked hugging me. I wasn't expecting this, but I knew she was emotional. So I slowly forwarded my hands and wrapped them around her, and slightly stroke her back to ease her. I knew she was hurt; this was a broken part of her soul coming out as tears. "Roli...stop it...he's gonna come back to you...soon..." I knew I was responsible for all this somewhere. And those devils at the most. No wonder, why Roli demands punishment for them. They had ripped apart her most fond relationship. Well... as of now I promised myself to mend her broken relationships. I would get them all back to her, forever.

CHAPTER 29

ROLI'S'S P.O.V

i don't seriously know how I can understand my own mind. I'm going through a stage where I can neither realize my mindset nor ignore a bundle of feelings that is accumulating in it. Siddhant is occupying my side somewhere, I can see that. I find solace in him; today when I felt really shattered his support felt heavenly. I don't know why I hugged him; I had not done it with anyone else other than my papa, with whom I always feel connected, safe and secure. And I don't know why I feel the same feeling with Siddhant. He makes me deeply happy. But right now, he had done something that had hurt me. I wasn't meant to be hurt, but still I felt bad. The college was over by 3: 30 and I went to parking area where Siddhant would usually wait for me since our marriage. But today as I went there I saw Raksha on Siddhant's bike and I got they were planning to go somewhere. Raksha smiled at me and said "Sorry Roli...you please go home today by taxi...I got to do some shopping and Sid should come with me to help me...So he'd come with me okay...bye...Sid...let's go..." Siddhant just smiled t me. I didn't know what to say. Raksha was holding his shoulders and sat visibly close to him. I don't know why my heart ached as they drove away from my eyesight. I couldn't sense why I felt bad on seeing him with Raksha. I still remember the way he yelled at me when I asked Raksha to stay away from our affairs. He asked me ho dare I talk so to his Raksha'. So that and this one read together made me restless. Was something going on between them? Was Raksha just his friend or...? I seriously don't know, I know I'm not the one to get angry or yell at him because he went with her. But personally I cannot hide the fact that I'm hurt. I have never felt this bad. May be because I'm his wife'...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This night, Sid had returned with Raksha. I felt really shocked at first to see them entering the driveway of our house. I reached the hall and opened the door for them. Raksha entered the home without a warning; it seemed that she had a lot of freedom here. Ma and Jhanvi were really happy on seeing her. You know, Jhanvi is very friendly with me, but when she saw Raksha, she's behaving as if I'm not even in her planet. And same was the case with ma too. And even Sid wasn't minding me. He was just around her making her eat, drink and all that. I wasn't hungry. I was; but all these scenes in fact filled my stomach well. I went in to room without saying anything to Raksha or anyone. It was just eight, but I still laid down in the bed to sleep. And strangely I got tears in my eyes!!!!It was like some part of mine was ripped off from me. Without a reason I felt so angry to Raksha, so very much angry. May be I'm not rightful as she is in Sid's matter. May be they were in a relationship or something. And may be Sid just thought me as a friend, just a friend. But I'm his wife...I still I'm. I'm not in love with him, but still I'm his wife. I have the vermillion of his name on my hairline and he himself cannot ignore the relationship of seven pheras. I don't know when I started to believe in these saas bahu like concepts but seriously I respect our relationship now. I still can't believe that it's the same me who used to ignore all these things when my mother used to tell about them. But now that I respect my relationship with him, I want others to respect it.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Much later Sid entered the room, he was so happy, so merry. "I left Raksha at her home...I called you lot...where was you? Why you didn't you come down to say a bye to her?" he asked me. I suddenly felt so annoyed. He taking all those to me felt ridiculous to me. "Why is she Indian president for me to raise and say bye to her? No right?" i was too hard. I knew it. "She isn't..." he said smiling. He went in and changed to his night clothes. Then he came near the bed, kept the pillows between us and jumped to the bed. "You know...we enjoyed a lot today...She just love shopping,...And we went from movie too...And that coffee at the hardrock; that just rocked...overall, the evening was superb... " now I really lost it knowing that they were freaking out all the while. "So what??? Should I stand upside down for that?" and I turned against him. "Switch off the light..." I yelled at him. He did it. I couldn't still sleep, but somehow, sometime, I gradually drifted off to sleep.
