PART 9
10 days later at the detention area of National Security Department Headquarters, Mumbai. "So Mr. Siddhant...i want to know your stand in your matter...but before you take a decision, I would like to remind you this; you're a responsible IPS officer supposed to serve the nation...' says Mr. Bhatia, the chief of the security team. Siddhant looks at the chief for a moment or two and then shifts his attention to the feminine frame sitting on the chair opposite to him in a worn out form. His features harden as he looks at her; the one whom he loves like crazy- Roli. But now she is not sitting before him as his love; but as a traitor who has plotted against the nation and helped the opponent nation in operations to destroy the national security. Evidence; lot of evidence has been found from her home and office to prove that she is a conspirator and most of all; she had send a mail to an opponent organization summarizing a master plan to demolish the nation's security. "Siddhant...speak up something...See I understand your feelings; but we should know your stand on the matter as it is proved has she has been in a relation with you for retrieving the important information about our moves...' says Mr.Bhatia finding Siddhant silent. Siddhant rises up from his chair and looks at Roli. "As you said already sir; I'm an IPS officer...An Indian police service officer...And my first responsibility is always to protect my nation...if someone try to break my nation's safety; whoever it is, I will make sure that they'll get punished for the act...' affirms Siddhant. Roli who has been looking down all the while with bloodshot eyes looks up at him as he speaks up. "You mean?' asks Mr. Bhatia doubtfully. "I mean that Ms. Roli Dwivedi will be given the maximum punishment for the crime she committed and I will see through that it happens...' says Siddhant as he takes a look of Roli. Roli's eyes which have been looking at Siddhant with lots of hope all the while widens as she hears him. "Siddhant...' she utters as she gets on her feet too. Even Aarav who watches the scene is in a state of shock. Right from when Roli was taken in to custody, he has been hoping Siddhant to do something and help Roli out of as he very well know that his friend's love and a very good friend of even him cannot do such a nasty act. But now, Siddhant's act is shocking him beyond limits. meanwhile Roli walks up to Siddhant and pauses near him. "Siddhant???what did you say???' asks her as she tries to touch his shoulder. But Sid takes a back step shocking her further. "I hope you can perceive such simple things after being so cunning...I said I'll do all that I can do against you for cheating the nation...And yes; for cheating me too...' says Sid in an extremely bold tone. Roli is all in a state of shock and unstoppable tears now. What is he accusing on her head? Is it her Siddhant, she wonders. "Siddhant...what did you say? I cheated you? I cheated our nation Siddhant? I don't know how you can say all these...Siddhant...I'm your Roli, Siddhant; your Roli...' she pauses as she holds his collar meanwhile Sid just stays expressionless. "Siddhant...Trust me..i don't know anything..All these; all these are wrong accusations which are framed to trap me..Please trust me..i will tell you everything..please listen to me...' she begs with tears choking her throat. Sid just pushes off her shocking her again. "Dare not to touch me!!! I said na, I don't trust you...I don't want to hear any of your framed stories...After all these solid evidences, do you think I'm a fool to trust you..Don't even think so...' says Sid as he turns t Mr. Bhatia. "Sir...I will do my duty to the fullest and will make sure that the guilty will be punished...' he says firmly. Mr. Bhatia walks to Siddhant and pats appreciably on his shoulder. "I'm proud of you Siddhant...only few people will have the presence of mind to deal all these...go on...' says him. "thank you sir...' says Siddhant as he gives him a salute. He is about to walk out when Roli comes and stands before him stopping him from moving ahead.
