Part 16Roli came to bedroom and lay down on the bed...
She looked around & cant see any sofa or another bed for Siddhant..
She was thinking.. does this mean.. he too will be sharing this small single cot with me...
May be i might have shared when i was with memories as his wife...
But now... i am yet to accept our relationship itself...
Siddhant took sometime to complete other works & come to bedroom...
He saw Roli on the bed in deep thinking...
Siddhant slowly went near her...
Siddhant: Roli... do you want anything...
Roli who came back to her senses on his question looked at Siddhant...
Roli: Nothing...
Siddhant: Ok.. if you want anything.. do let me know...
Roli: Ok...
Siddhant went to other side of bed...
Roli was tensed that he may lay down beside her...
Siddhant slightly bend & forward his hand...
Roli swiftly got up from the bed and stood beside it...
Now she noticed.. Siddhant was taking the pillow from the bed...
Siddhant: Roli.. what happened??? why are you tensed???
Roli: Nothing...
Siddhant took the bed spread & put it on the floor...
Then put the pillow too...
Siddhant: Sleep well Roli.. then only you will feel relax as well as medicines will work...
Roli:hmm.. ok...
Roli lay down again in the bed...
Siddhant lay down on the floor and closed his eyes...
Roli looked at Siddhant...
She was thinking for a while whether to ask him or not...
Then finally she asked that to him...
Roli: Siddhant... shall i ask you something...
Siddhant: Yes Roli...
Roli: this single cot you might have used before marriage right...
Siddhant: Yes.. you are right...
Roli: After our marriage.. why you didn't changed to double cot.. how 2 persons can sleep in this comfortable.. you know i used to sleep in king size bed for me alone in that bungalow...
Siddhant: Roli.. i did suggested to buy a double cot after our marriage.. but you denied...
Roli: I denied!!! but why??? double cot might have been spacious for both to sleep right...
Siddhant: But what you said you know...
Siddhant narrated to Roli...
Siddhant bring the brochure of cot from a furniture shop...
Siddhant: Roli.. look into this.. we will order whichever is liked by you...
Roli: Double cot!!!
Siddhant: Yes... i was using this single cot for me.. but now.. we both are here.. lets buy a bigger one.. you can sleep comfortable...
Roli: Oh.. does this mean.. you are not sleeping comfortable all these days...
Siddhant: Roli.. i am not telling for me.. i am telling for you.. you used to sleep in big bed & now you may feel uncomfortable to sleep adjusting yourselves right.. thats why...
Roli: Did i told.. did i complaint...
Siddhant: You wont complaint Roli.. but its my duty to keep you happy right...
Roli came near Siddhant & clasped her hand around his neck...
Roli: Do you think i am not happy now???
Siddhant: Not like that Roli..
Roli: Siddhant.. do you think this double cot can give that happiness which this single cot giving us holding us close to each other always... this double cot will only will create space between us as i may sleep in a corner & you may sleep in another corner.. but this single cot.. even if we try to go away and sleep in a corner.. we are still close to each other.. did you understand...
Siddhant with a smile wrapped his hand around her waist...
Siddhant: Roli.. if you feel so.. then this single cot is enough for us ever... I too want us to be close always...
Roli: Then leave this idea of double cot and keep the money to buy something useful...
Siddhant: Ok my princess...
Roli: Ok.. let me prepare dinner now...
When Roli tried to move.. Siddhant hold her hand...
Siddhant: Where are you going after giving big lecture about single cot.. lets use it for a while...
Siddhant took Roli in his arms & went to bedroom...
He dropped her in the bed & lean beside her...
Siddhant moved towards her wrapping his hand around her & pulling closer...
Roli who heard she is the reason behind using the single cot bed still was surprised to know how much she loved him and wanted to be intimate with him...
Roli: Siddhant.. i am sorry.. because of me you are sleeping on the floor now.. thats why i asked as if we have double cot.. we might have shared the bed itself...
Siddhant: Roli..what matter whether i sleep in the bed or floor.. whether my Roli is beside or far matters... Now just relax & sleep...
Siddhant closed his eyes...
Roli mind was remembering his words...whether my Roli is beside or far matters...
Roli slowly closed her eyes & slept in a while...
