CHAPTER 5
"After dark she walked by the canal, along a sheltered path lighted only in the glare of the lamps from the wharf across the water and the unceasing drone of the city was muffled and distant...it was a perfect place, she had always thought so, for a meeting of this kind." ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Roli strangely remembered these lines of A.R Barton that she had once quoted in a speech on love. The condition was like that... She was in his arms, she didn't know if she was fantasizing like the heroine of Barton's story did. She remembered about the heroin who fantasized about her date with an Irish football player. But he isn't an Irish genius about whom the heroin fantasized. Instead he was a common man, a man whom she just met today. But this was so special, even in the dim light she could see his deep and piercing eyes. His hold on her waist was protective, saving from falling down. Her hands clutched his shirt tightly touching his exposed chest. Their eyes locked as if there was no tomorrow. He studied every feature of her face. It seemed that he was enjoying each of those features just by his eyes. Maybe he's equally lost on her as she's lost on him. His hold on her waist was sending cold signals to her spine, her heart beat profusely. She could feel that his heart was also pounding hard. The contact was so magical that she felt that she was in fact fantasizing. He looked in to her eyes, not a usual mere look, but a look that had a lot of emotions in it. A look that could dissolve all the sanity in Miss. Roli Dwivedi in to it. How could she not feel that she's fantasizing?
Roli and Sid was so lost in each other and the posture went on for quite long. But ending their award movie, power came hitting their faces. They were brought back to the reality. Sid looked at Roli whilst Roli realized that it was not a dream. She felt a chill knowing that. But knowing her condition she gestured him to wake up from his trance. He didn't understand what she was saying initially but her further actions made him come back to the real world. He swiftly made her stand straight. Both looked everywhere except each other, Sid corrected his shirt that was disturbed due to Roli's tight hold. "I'm sorry...i don't...'began Roli. "It's okay..Happens...can we get back to our work?' he asked her. She nodded yes and they climbed back to their workplace.
For the next few minutes, it was pin drop silence in the workplace. Roli was yet to come out of the excitement of the happenings. But soon her phone beeped waking her from her apparent trance. She remembered that she hadn't called Rithik for a good while though she took Sid's phone to do so. She quickly lifted the call and informed him that she was fine and it was network problem. "Any problem Roli?' asked Rithik as he felt a change in his sister's tone. But no, Roli excused him that it was just due to the work and she'd need to continue it. She hung up the call only to see Sid looking at her. "Typical siblings..." he said with a smile. "he loves me a lot...'she said. "I can see it..."said Sid.
After a while. Sid had gone to the library for seeing some files, it took him pretty long to see through them. By the time he returned he saw Roli sleeping leaning on the table. He got a smile seeing her and he glanced his watch 11:30. Quite obvious that she slept. He looked at the file, it was almost complete, just entering the data to the system was left now. So he sat and did that gazing Roli whose hairs were felling on her face. Sid moved his hand to her adjusting the ringlets behind her ears. "She's beautiful...' he thought with a smile. But soon he sat back and completed the work.
"Roli..." Sid called as her cleared the table and took his bag and blazer. She was still sleeping. "Roli..." he called her again slightly tapping on her shoulders. Roli was shocked by the sudden touch that she woke up all of a sudden. Too panicky, she looked around and saw Sid standing in front of her with a smile. It took a few seconds for her to perceive the happenings and she regretted that she had slept. "I'm sorry Siddhant..i..." she tried to explain. "It's okay Roli...it's just 15 minutes...you had worked a lot...it's obvious...I do understand...in fact I should thank you...this would work would never have become complete in your absence...thank you..." he said with a smile. Roli felt so happy, so contented. "Thank you..." she said with a smile. "Okay..it's over now...let's leave...it's 11:45..." said him. Roli smiled and took her phone. "What are you gonna do?" asked Sid. "Call my bro...He'll come to fetch me..." said her. "I understand that your bro is concerned of you...so you should be concerned of him as well...besides, it would take more time if you call your bro, he comes and pick you...instead let's do it, I'll drop you...trust me, I'm not that bad..." said Sid. "Okay..." said Roli with a smile. She fetched her bag and stuff. "Are you done?" he asked. "Yeah..." she replied. "Okay then...Let's go..." they switched off the lights and entered the lift to reach down.
Roli sat comfortably in Sid's car as he occupied the driving seat. "Long day..." said him. "Really long day.." she said with a smile. "But it was nice...working all day...thanks girl...you gave me nice company...'said Sid. "Same here...Thanks for coming and saving me from Ashok the monster" said Roli. Sid chuckled and Roli joined him. The journey was pleasant. Seeing all the beauty of Midnight Mumbai. "Siddhant..okay..it's here..."said Roli as Sid reached near her home. "Okay fine...bye...see you tomorrow..." said Sid. "Ya bye..see you too..."said Roli as she took her bag and stepped out. "Thanks..." she said as she gave him a sweet smile and closed the door. She walked in to the gate, making Sid to stare at her for a moment or two and then start again.
