PART 56
3 months later. Roli's focus is entirely fixed on the laptop screen as she goes through some imperative spreadsheets. She taps on the keyboard and checks for updates on her phone. In short, she's much in to work. Yes...She's back to her career and as it seems it wasn't that easy and cheesy. She has really fought with a lot of things to reach where she presently is. And most importantly she has fought with her herself; her conscience. It wasn't a piece of cake to come out of the depression that Siddhant has caused by cheating her. She has cried a lot but may be realizing that tears are no good solution she started to stand on her legs and face her life with all the might. And behind on these developments there was always the presence of Rithik and Ahaana who never became on the warpath due to Roli's presence. They had indeed proved that they are always there for her. Life was back on track as it was before Roli met Sid. Neither Rithik nor Ahaana behaved as if something has changed in Roli's life. They were very normal towards her and that greatly contributed to her recuperation. It was her choice to restart her work but in a different company as that old place always reminded her of the dark past. This was the company of her close friend Aarav ho always supported her and did that this time too. Rithik completely agreed to her because he didn't wanted her to sit at home and push days in deep thoughts and depression. Rithik thought the work would be a positive change for Roli and her baby which actually came out in the way he thought it would.
Roli finishes the spreadsheets and mails them to the department head. "Done Roli?" asks her colleague Ankita. with a smile. "hmmm...just done..." replies Roli as she sips some water. "Why do you struggle so much Roli.. you better sit at home...I'm telling you, your legs are gonna get swollen if you work so much..." says Ankita. Roli smiles at her concern and keeps the water aside."No Ankita..i get bored sitting at home..I'll work as much as I can..." replies Roli. "okay then...your choice...tell me this...did your hero call you...I wonder what's he doing in U.S after leaving you in this condition?" questions Ankitha. Roli's smile fades. This was a lie Aarav said to all her colleagues- that Sid was in U.S with some project. He explained that he didn't want others to raise a question at her or her baby and she couldn't at all deny his concern for her. "Little doll...are you not going home??" questions Aarav as she reaches Roli's table. "Aaru..You better stop being so cute man..." taunts Roli as she gets up with her bag. "Easy...Slowly...the champ is gonna get hurt..." says Aarav as he gives her a hand to get up. "Okay then Roli...Rithik will be waiting for you...Just leave and don't work overnight...you just do the works I give you...is that fine?" he questions with obvious concern. "haan Baba...now let me go na..." says Roli. "ya...but no stairs...get that?" orders Aarav., "okay..Okay...bye..." says Roli as she walks out. Aarav watches her with teary eyes as she disappears in to the lobby. She was his best friend always, since their senior secondary days. A pure relationship- they rewrote the filmy verse "No girl and boy can just remain as friends..." But he never thought in his rarest dreams that just in a year when he went Paris for his company, her life would change so much. He knew he would never let this happen to her if at all he was here. He wanted to break the jaw of the one who made her life a hell but couldn't catch a sight of him fortunately or unfortunately. "Aarav sir..You got a call..." says his P.A which makes him come out of his thoughts and march in to his cabin.
