CHAPTER 6
help...help...' screams Roli in the top of her voice trying to get attention from someone. "Don't break your throat..We're stuck somewhere in middle..So no possibility of anyone hearing us, however you scream...' says Sid quite casually. "hey matarani...what will I do now?' cries Roli as she sits on the floor of the lift covering her face with her tiny palms. "Typical daily soap reaction...' mocks Siddhant he takes a look of her antics and sits on the other side of the lift. "What???' questions Roli as she finds a teasing smile on his lips. "Nothing...' says Sid as he shrugs off his shoulder in denial. "Idiot...' murmurs Roli. "Thanks for the compliment...' says Sid with an overconfident smile. "You!!! How do you hear everything people say?' asks Roli in misery. "I didn't become an IPS officer by counting pebbles at the beach...Our job requires all these skills...' says Sid as a matter of fact. Roli just turns her face in disgust. Curse that silly moment when I planned for this, thinks Roli. "By the way...why did you stop me from going out? It started all the mess...' asks Siddhant returning to his typical serious self. "That..I wanted to talk to you over the interview...' says Roli as she fidgets with her handbag. "Interview?? I don't understand why you people are behind me...I said right, I'm not interested...' asks Sid with a 'these people are unbearable' face. "Oh really...to your kind attention Mr. Siddhant Bharadwaj, if journalists have left people like that, there won't be any news running on the TV...We will have to disturb you if people wants to know about you...' says Roli with a proud smile. "Well...that's all what you journalists do...running around people and poking your nose in to their privacy without their permission...' accuses Sid mainly aiming Roli. "You!!!!' begins Roli but her eyes widens as she spots something in the dimness of the lift. "Mummy!!!' cries her as she quickly crawls to Sid's side much to his surprise. "What happened?' asks him confused as she sits hiding her face in the wall of the lift. "Woh...woh...that is all what she could murmur pointing her finger to the ceiling of the lift, keeping her head still hidden. A bemused Siddhant shifts his gaze to the place where she pointed and breaks in to loud fits of laughter as he spots that thing which turned the sherni Roli in to a little scared kitten. "Ha ha ha...Oh my gaawwwd!!!!! Ha ha...That's so funny!!!!' he laughs his stomach out making Roli look up at him. "What's so funny???' asks her with fear and irritation. "Oh my god!!! I can't believe that you're scared seeing a little spider...ha ha...'he laughs pointing at the tiny spider that is moving on its web in the left corner of the lift ceiling. Roli just feels like knocking his jaw off his head for teasing her, but holds back herself reminding herself of the responsibility if the interview. "Spider is dangerous...its bites can be poisonous...' says Roli trying to justify her silly fear. "Yes...Of course they are...But not such tiny ones...it's those ones you see animal planet...Wait, where will you watch animal planet??? You might be always hooked to that silly news channel of yours 24*7...' teases Sid. Roli is like crazily angry with him. On the first part she is afraid and here, this guy is leaving no stones unturned to irritate her. "Can you please keep quiet for a while?' asks Roli secretly taking a looking of the 'scary' creature on the ceiling. Well...Sid is in no mood to stop, after long he is getting someone to tease like this. Aarav has been frequent chick to tease right from the training camp, but nowadays he hardly gets any chance to take out his mischievous side amongst busy schedules. So he decides to continue his teasing business until they are out of the lift.
