CHAPTER 14
Roshni wiped away a tear as she closed her book, and took a deep sigh.
Looking up her eyes met Sidharth eyes
"H..How long have you been sitting there?" Asked Roshni, wondering why she hadn't heard him coming
"For a while now. You were so enticed with your book that I didn't want to disturb you" he smiled
"So you just sat there?" she asked fluttering her eyelids
"Hmm. It felt good watching you read. Do you know that your expressions change when you read?" He chuckled
'Accha?"
He moved closer to her "Yes" he whispered
"I especially loved the way your eyebrows crunched together sometimes" he lifted his hands and touched her brows.
She could feel her face heat up
"And. ..ah you looked so cute when you were sniffling at the end...Sad ending I guess"
Roshni nodded her head "The girl dies in the end" she replied making a sad pout
Sidharth couldn't help but say"awww"
"Waise Roshni how can you read a Love story and actually enjoy it? I mean it's the same old thing isn't it. Boy meets girl. Then fall in love...and eventually they live happily ever after!" He chuckled
Roshni made a disappointed pout
"But you know Roshni, I think love is over rated"
"Matlab" she asked confused
"I believe that true love is just a figment of imagination- that only exists in books of movies. But in reality...there is no such thing" he sighed..voicing his opinion
"I disagree. Love does exist. It happens when you least expect it!
True love is a like a crime.
That takes your breath away and robs you of the ability to utter a single word
It steal your heart.
True love stories don't have an ending" Roshni said excidely
Roshni gazed at him and smiled. Sidharth sat spell bound listening to her words...
He had never believed in love before..But now he wanted to believe.
"Okay so what is the main ingredient for true love?" Questioned Sidharth raising his eyebrows
"Trust. If there's no trust then it can't be love"
"Aacha?"
"Obviously. In fact Trust is the main Ingredient for any relationship...be it friendship or love! Love without trust, is like a river without water. A car without gas. You can stay in it as long as you want, but it won't go anywhere...or..."
"Okay...okay..Love ki Einstein" giggled Sidharth "I get it"
"Haslo haslo. When you fall in love, and believe me u will! Then you will understand that there is nothing more beautiful than True Love"
Sidharth listened quietly "Are you in love?" He asked suddenly, making Roshni gasp
"Huhhh! ME! NO. But I know my prince charming is out there somewhere. ..." she said dreamingly. Sidharth couldn't help but stare.
SILENCE
Roshni felt his intense gaze on him and decided to change the topic
"You know when i first met you Sidharth, I thought you were mean and Sour as a Karela. But I was wrong Sidharth. You are as sweet as Chocolate caramel ice cream.." she said pulling his nose
"What? Did you just compare me.. 'Sidharth Khurana' with ice cream..."
Roshni nodded her head "Not just any ice cream Sidharth! Chocolate Caramel ice cream!" She replied, trying hid her giggle
"Oh well if you put it that way.. I mean nothing can compare to that right!" He said looking at her cuteness
Roshni chuckled out loud, and as she laughed a few strands disturbed his view.
Unknowingly his hand went up and tucked the strands behind ear..
Feeling the touch Roshni looked at him...confused and Sidharth quickly took his hand away
"Woh. ..ah..." Sidharth was a loss for words...then
"Ahhh. ..Talking about ice creams, are you Hungry. .I know I am" asked Sidharth
Roshni looked down at her mobile. "Relax we still have 55 min before next period"
Roshni shrugged her shoulders "okay then"
As they walked into the cafeteria Roshni bumped into a student and his glass bottle fell to the floor. Shattering on impact
"U- um I'm so sorry. I'll clean it up" she said nervously as the student eyed her angrily
"Nerd maybe you need to get yourself a new pair of glasses. Idiot"
Sidharth clenched his fist and grabbed the guy by the collar
"She has a name. Her name is Roshni. Do you get that. Now apologies to her!" He hissed angrily
Roshni quickly held Sidharth hand "Sidharth..leave it .its okay"
"No it's not okay! Now Apologies! "
The boy shook a little under Sidharth grip
"I...I...I'm. Sorry Roshni" the boy said nervously
Sidharth slowly realised his grip on him, and the guy fled from there..As a shocked Roshni watched on.
"Sidharth..relax. I'm used to such comments" she mumbled, as she knelt down and hurriedly picking up the shattered pieces of glass by her bare hands...
Sidharth cursed himself, that he had treated Roshni in the same manner.
"Roshni be careful. In fact just leave it. Cleaner hai nah?" He ordered
"I know..but what if someone hurts themselves before he comes then?"
"OOCHH! " Roshni yelled as she felt the sharp edge of a glass pierce her skin
"Roshni" Sidharth knelt down next to her. "Are you okay?" He took her bleeding finger in his hand
"Mein ne kaha tah nah! Why are you always thinking about others. Chout lag gaye nah!" He mumbled emotionally
"Tch I'm fine Sidharth. It's just a cut" as she tried to pull her hand back from his grip.
Sidharth looked into her eyes, and all she could see was complete worry, and then slowly he put her finger into his mouth, and began to suck on it
"Sidharth" she whispered as she closed her eyes. The tingling sensation from his touch made her heart flutter
"Sidharth chodo. ..its okay! " she whispered nervously.
But he ignored her.
His mouth gently sucked on the wound..His lips warm and soft. The sensation was so sensual that it sent shivers down her body.
Sidharth closed his eyes as he sucked on her finger. His lips on her soft fingers, made his heart hammer...
Slowly he took her finger out of his mouth..and stroked her finger ever so caring
"Does it feel better," he asked..pain evident in his eyes
Roshni took back her hand nervously and nodded her head..
"Hmmm"
A Moment Of Awkward Silence
Sidharth stood up and looked here and there, not knowing what to say...
"Ahhh. ..let's eat" he finally said..breaking the awkward silence
Sidharth ordered the waiter to bring a bandage and helped her up
"Careful Roshni" and took her to a far corner of the cafeteria and ordered some food
Both remained quiet, as they waited for their order.
Roshni looked around the cafeteria before she turned back to Sidharth. He was already looking at her. The way he looked at her gave her goosebumps
Sidharth couldn't take his eyes of her. He watched her adjust her spectacles as her eyes fluttered and she blushed. Behind those glasses, her eyes still managed to consume him..And Roshni unconsciously bit her lips
Soon their order arrived, and with it a blast of music began playing in the background.
Both turned their heads, where they saw a boy kneeling down on his knees
"You have been my best friend for two years..But now I want you to be my girlfriend. I love you Sheetal. Please say yes"
The girl smiled estatically and yelled "YESSS YESSS YESSS" and hugged him tightly..
The boy picked her up in his arms and twirled her around
"Ahhh see, true love does exist" Roshni smiled watching the cute couple...and Sidharth stared at her, "Maybe it does" he said under his breath
The couple began to dance to the music as the boy yelled "The drinks are on me"
Tables and chairs were pushed to one side, and the whole cafeteria began to dance and rejoice with the new couple
"Come Roshni let's dance" said Sidharth as he got up
"Ah..no Sidharth you go ahead.."
"No way your coming with me" he insisted as he pulled on her arm
"Sidharth...I...I..don't know how to dance" she pretended..
Sidharth suppressed his chuckle and urged het
"Mein hoon nah."
He took her hand and before she could protest, led her town the center of the cafeteria where everyone was dancing
"Sidharth I'm not sure about this. I don't want to embarrass you!" She yelled over the thumping music
.'You can never embarrass me Roshni Never!" He said smiling
"You are my friend Roshni. Dosti ki hai nah? And what happened to that Trust of yours?" he teased, making her smile
Suddenly turned her around so that Roshni back was pressed against him. She pressed her back against his, letting go of her inhibitions and followed Sidharth lead.
Ishq bulava jaane kab aave
Ishq bulava aave jab aave..
Main ta kol tere rehna
Main ta kol tere rehna
Main ta baitha kol tere
She could feel every muscle of his body, as he laced his fingers with hers and rested them on her stomach.
He placed his chin on her shoulders and swayed with the rhythm of the music, ad he closed his eyes.
"Just rekax" he whispered next to her ear.
He pressed her hips against hers and both felt their heartbeats speed up. Their stomach tied in knots
Tainu takda ravaan
Baaton pe teri hansda ravaan
Pagal main khud nu banaanda ravaan
Tu hansdi rave, main hansaanda ravaan
Tainu takda rawaan...
There was barely any distance between them, as beads of sweat started to firm on her forehead.
"Roshni" he whispered against her ear
"Hmm"
"Bend your knees a little. .and relax your body" he instructed
His hand ran down the length of her arms. The feel of her soft skin under his finger tips, sending fire through his veins...
Suddenly he turned her around, his eyes burning hers. She could feel the intensity in his eyes, and she closed her eyes for a moment, fearing what she was feeling.
Ishq duaavan jaane kab aave
Ishq duaavan aave jab aave
Main ta kol tere rehna
Main ta kol tere rehna
Main taa baitha kol tere
Sidharth pulled her into his arms,.and once again their bodies met. His nose rested on her cheek. ..as he inhaled her fragrance.
He had never felt this way before. ..and wanted to stay in this moment forever
He closed his eyes to savour the moment.
Roshni noticed that his breathing was heavy, much like her own.
Both continued to sway gently with the music, oblivious to their surroundings, as his he placed his hand tighter around her waist and she felt her breath hitch.
She turned her cheek slightly and Sidharth placed his cheek on hers, and her hand unknowingly slid down his chest...which had an sensusl effect on Sidharth.
His trembling lips and his hot breath fanned her face.
He lifted his hand to touch her cheek as his eyes lowered and drifted to lips
Her lips were full and perfect
In that moment he longed to feel her lips against hers..His breathing became even more erratic...
They were so close that she could feel his thumping heart. His breath was on her. He trembled in such intensity that it washed over his entire body.
What was this feeling...Both were unaware..
As he lowered his lips to hers, Roshni stepped back
Her body visually trembling..and Sidharth panted heavily wanting her back in his arms. Missing her touch
He closed his eyes trying to get a grip on these new emotions
Roshni stood blushing...another awkward silence passed
"Ah. ..ah..I need to get to class" stammered Roshni
Sidharth quickly nodded his head in agreement
'Yeah..me too. See you. .umm later"
And with that Roshni was gone, as Sidharth ran his finger through his hair, before they lowered down to his thumping heart beats
He was totally confused about his feeling for her..
"What was all that?.This feeling...woh ehsaas..." he thought. "What is she doing to me?" but despite the confusion, a smile lingered on his lips.
Misha watched...jealousy evident in her eyes as she gritted her teeth
"That's it...I can't take anymore!"
Roshni ran to the girls wash room, and splashed water over her face.
"Oh God Roshni...what was that! " she panted heavily, questioning herself
She blushed as she remembered his touch on her..
He had a scent that made her head swoon. She remembered his arms around her, crushing her to him.
In her wildest dreams she had never imagined such a feeling...
"It's nothing Roshni. It's nothing. You're reading to much into it. He's just a friend. A very good friend. That's it. Haan bas friend!" She convinced herself..as she wiped away the water from her face
"Friend he's my friend" she kept repeating over and over again in her head,, as if she was convincing herself.
