PART 58
Next morning. Rithik and Roli are in the hospital of Roli's sonography test to know the position and development of the baby. Roli has no clue of the thoughts running in Rithik's mind and tries to chill herself though she is still unstable. She feels different each time probably due to the work of her pregnancy hormones. No wonder, the time which must have her comfort period is filled with tensions. She's going through what a girl never should go on in this phase of her life. But as we find the answer for all the miseries, maybe it's fate.
Ahaana makes Roli lay on the bed and gives Rithik a look. What happened Roli???Why does your bro's face looks like stung by a honeybee?" asks Ahaana quite unaware of the happenings. Roli has no answer to her question. "I'll tell you Bhabhi..." says Roli and with this Ahaana gets to know that things are not on the good track. "I'll come in a while girls...got some work out...you continue...Ahaana...call me once the stuff is done; okay..." says Rithik. "Hmmm..." agrees Ahaana not bothering to ask him more question as she knows he'll come out with it to her himself. "Roli..." calls Rithik for her permission and she nods positively. Rithik was out, being very clear of what he should do.
Rithik walks through the sunny roads with his phone in his hands. It is the same area where Roli said she met Sid last day; so probably he'll get to know about his whereabouts from the local people. Rithik shows Sid's photo in his phone to every passerby and asks him if he know the person. But to his very dismay, all answers were negative. He felt it totally futile to waste hi time there. Finally tired he stops near a local vendor. "Bhaiyya...just get me a lemon juice..." asks Rithik as he wipes away the sweat from his forehead with his kerchief. The vendor nods, squeezes a lemon and makes the juice. He handovers the juice to a thirsty Rithik who gulps it down quickly. He smiles, fishes in his pocket for change and says it to the vendor. "Keep the change Bhaiyya..." he says making the vendor smile. Then it dawns on him, why can't he ask the vendor itself. day long, he's there and he'll obviously know if Sid is usual there. "Excuse me Bhaiyya...tell me if this you know this guy???' asks him as he shows Sid's pic to the man. The man takes a close look of the photo and scratches his head. "This guy...arrrmmm...yesss!!! I saw him last day...he was here day along with a girl...they came over to me for juice as and when..." recalls the man. Rithik feels excited now. At least he could get some spark. "Bhaiyya...tell me if you know where he is now? Where he lives???"asks Rithik in anxiety. "No...Actually I saw him or the first and the last time yesterday, I don't have any idea of him...Any problem with the guy???" asks the man doubtfully. "Nothing... "mumbles Rithik as he turns back and walks. He doesn't have a clue of where Sid is.
Back in hospital, Ahaana applies the gel on Roli's womb and begins the sonography test. "Roli...just relax..." consoles Ahaana as she finds Roli a little nervous. "Done...Roli...just see...There...top left corner...it's the little one..." says Ahaana as she points to the image of the baby. Roli watches the little head and cute fingers on the screen. Involuntarily her eyes tear up. The feeling of being a mother makes her excited. The baby kicks her slightly making it clearly visible on the screen making Roli chuckle and weep at the same time. "It's a naughty thing just like you..." remarks Ahaana. Roli is still to get a grip on her emotions. She doesn't know how happy she's seeing her baby. It is the only reason for her existence now. If the baby wasn't there, she doesn't know if she would have survived Sid's betrayal. Probably she would have died right there. "Roli..." calls Ahaana as she smiles at her consolingly. "I'm happy Bhabhi..." mumbles Roli as she wipes away the tears. "Bhabhi...you know, I never thought that I will have to go through all these alone...I have always dreamed of these moments; but then, Siddhant was with me; happier than me...But see Bhabhi, what has happened..." says Roli with tears. Ahaana switches off the screen and sits by Roli. "Roli...just relax...I know it's difficult for you...but yet, relax yaar..." says her. "How can I Bhabhi, when I have seen my baby's father with another girl???" ask Roli. "What???" questions Ahaana. Roli explains every bit of it; shaking the wits out of Ahaana. She jut hugs Roli and consoles her stroking her back; she knew that's the most she can do in the situation.
Meanwhile, Sid cries aloud as a very bitter truth is revealed to him. "NO!!!!!!!" roars aloud. His legs go weak and he settles on the floor with tears sprinting out of his eyes without a pause. Life has been very cruel for him; very cruel...
