#3
Almost one year passed by and it was not less than hell for both roli and Sid, to be apart. Though they both remained to be in touch through messages and phone calls. But the pleasure they used to get in eachother's presence, was missing in those mere messages.
Roli slowly opened her eyes as early morning sun rays started hitting her face, disturbing her sleep. She got up, rubbing her eyes and took mobile in her hand. With the hope of seeing his message, she turned it on but, the same response she got which she was receiving since past one week.
"What's wrong with this guy?" She murmured in a sleepy tone as it's more than a week that he's not responding to her calls and not replying to her messages. She dialed his number but got no response.
"Jao cutty, I won't talk to him again" she said like a kid and thrown her mobile on bed, annoyed.
She got up from her bed and went to take bath. After getting ready, she went downstairs and joined her parents, who were having their morning coffee and reading newspaper.
"Good morning, beta" wished jamnalal, her dad, with a smile.
"Good morning, papa" she wished back and settled beside him.
"So, when you're going to introduce our son-in-law to us?" Asked jamnalal, taking a sip of coffee from his cup.
"Haan roli, are you planning to introduce him directly in your marriage or what?" Joined her mom, Meena, in a teasing tone.
Roli informed her parents about Sid a three months back for which they've given their acceptance, taking it as their daughter's happiness. And she said he'll return in two months or so. And now it's more than two months already but, he didn't return yet.
"Woh papa, actually he may return soon, after that I'll introduce him to you" roli tried to cover up the situation but even she's unaware of his comeback.
When they were in their talks, they heard door bell ringing and roli went to open the door.
Roli blinked her eyes in shock and surprise, seeing the person standing at the door entrance while that person was all in smiles seeing her. That person was lost in her as if he's meeting her after ages whilst roli was in shock, not in a state to respond anything.
"Roli, who's that?" Inquired her parents, reaching the entrance and found a six feet tall and handsome guy standing there with a smile on his face.
"You are.." "your guess is absolutely right, uncle" that guy interrupted jamnalal and entered in with the same smile. He bent down to take blessings of jamnalal and Meena while they blessed him with all the heart.
"Siddanth" they all heard a voice from the door and found a middle aged couple standing at entrance.
"My maa and papa" introduced that guy, joining that couple at entrance.
"Ji namaste, please come in" jamnalal and Meena welcomed them while roli was still in shock and surprise.
They all reached hall, being followed by a silent roli. Meena went in and brought snacks and sweets for them.
"Roli, come here beta" Sujata, Sid's mom, called roli, bringing her out of the shock. She went and sat beside Sujata.
"I've never thought my son's choice would be this beautiful" commented Sujata, caressing roli's cheeks while roli smiled at her.
"I hope we didn't trouble you by coming here without invitation" said rajender, Sid's dad.
"No, there's nothing like that. In fact we were asking roli about your arrival only but, she said siddanth didn't return yet" replied jamnalal.
"He returned yesterday night itself and was so eager to meet his roli that we had to come here without informing you about it" spoke Sujata while Sid looked at roli but she didn't even turn to see him.
"And he wanted to give surprise to roli by coming here without informing her" continued Sujata, with a chuckle.
"Surprise? Here I was dying to talk to him and he was busy in his stupid surprises" thought roli, giving a killer glance at Sid, who was watching her with a sheepish smile. She turned her face against him, burning him with her look. By now he understood that he had turned on the volcano.
"Okay, you all keep talking, till then me and roli will go out for sometime" sid's words left roli to look at him with widen eyes. "Uncle, I hope you won't mind" Sid tried to seek permission from roli's parents to take her out while roli was watching the scene, silently.
"It's okay, beta. You can very well take her. Till then we'll discuss about your marriage and all" replied jamnalal with a smile.
"Sid, comeback soon, we've to return to home too" reminded sujata while Sid nodded as okay and went out while roli followed him like an obedient kid.
In car, while driving Sid was staring at roli but, she's looking outside, avoiding his gaze at her. He slowly took his hand to hold hers but she swiftly took it back without letting him to hold it.
"Abey.. what happened?" He questioned but got no response. He kept his hand on her lap but she took it and placed it on car's steering.
"Roli" he called her but she remind silent. By now he understood that she's so angry on him. He stopped his car at side and turned towards roli. He took her hand into his, avoiding her tries to free her hand. He, taking it towards his lips, kissed her hand whilst tears started forming in her eyes. He pulled her near to him and circled his arms around her shoulders and rested his head on hers.
"I won't talk to you" she complained, slightly punching on his chest while he was bearing them silently. "I said I won't talk to you" she pushed him and raised from his chest while tears started rolling down her cheeks. He smiled and placed a tight kiss on her forehead, cupping her face in his palms and wiped her tears.
"How many times I've called you? Why you didn't answer them and not even replied to my messages. Why?" She held his collar, looking straight into his eyes.
"I thought to surprise you" he said with a puppy face which raised her anger more.
"What surprise?" She shouted and left his collar in anger and got down from the car.
"Oh god save me" Sid silently prayed to God and followed roli. Reaching her, he held her hand but she showed it off, started moving forward.
"Roli, once talk to me yaar" he pleaded, following her. But she didn't turn to him. "Ouchh" he cried and sat on the rock at side, holding his leg while roli swiftly turned and rushed near him.
"Siddanth, what happened?" She inquired, reaching him. "Are you okay?" She cupped his face with a concern. How he loves to see her caring for him. He smiled, holding her hands and stood up on his feet. She understood he was playing with her, she took her hands back, giving a killer glare at him. He grabbed her by her waist and caged her inside his arms.
"When you love me this much then why this anger unnecessarily" he said, placing a strand of her hairs behind her ears.
"You didn't talk to me since one week and saying my anger is unnecessary" she asked, looking straight at him.
"It wasn't intentional roli, I was so held up with work that I didn't even got time to look at my mobile. But yeah, today's morning call I didn't attend because I thought to surprise you by coming to your house directly. And I'm sorry for it" he explained and apologized, holding his ears. She looked into his eyes whilst his eyes were pleading her to forgive him.
"I'm sorry na yaar" and it was enough for roli to bring a smile on her lips. She held his hands off of his ears.
"If you again plan such stupid surprise na" she warned him, showing her index finger in a threatening manner whilst he smiled at her and pulled her into a tight hug.
"I missed you" she confessed inside his hug, tightening her grip around his waist.
"I missed you too yaar" he replied, kissing her hairs.
"Okay, how was your business studies?" She asked, breaking the hug.
"Arey yaar, we're meeting after one year and here you're wasting my time in asking questions" he said, making her confused and moved towards her lips but she stopped him, looking around. He held her hand and took her behind a tree.
"Now no more excuses" he said and locked his lips with hers. She was startled at his sudden act but slowly started responding to his kiss. His hands went behind her back whilst she circled her hands around his neck. He lifted her up a little by her waist and started kissing her passionately. His hands started roaming her back whilst his lips started tasting her lips, taking them into his. They both were lost in eachother, quenching their thirst of one year. He pulled her more into him but she couldn't stand more as she was running short of breath and broke the kiss, resting her forehead on his chest. He nudged his face in her neck, placing kisses on her soft skin. She hugged him tightly as he started placing kisses all over her neck. She slightly pushed him away as she was going weak on her knees with his kisses.
"We are out" she reminded him of the place where they're and moved away from him.
"Okay, come" he said and started moving from there, holding her hands in his.She followed him with a smile on her lips. She just loves the way he holds her hand with all the care and protection.
After few minutes, Sid stopped his car and asked roli to get down. There was a beautiful waterfall with different kinds of trees all around. A fresh cool breeze hit her face, making her smile. She moved near to it and inhaled the fragrance of nature with her eyes kept closed. Sid went near and back hugged her.
"Now no restrictions, right?" Sid asked, nudging his face into her neck. She turned towards him and looked into his eyes. She nodded as no with a smile but before he reach her lips, she pushed him and started running.
"Rolii" he called out loud but she, showing her tongue, kept running. He too started running behind her. While running, roli's dupatta got stuck in a rose plant. She turned to get it out but before her, Sid reached it and held the tip of her dupatta in his hand.
Sid, holding it in his hand, started moving towards her, wrapping her dupatta around his hand from its end. While she tried to take it back from his hold but where he could leave it so easily. He reached her while her dupatta was off her shoulders and completely wrapped around his hand. She kept her eyelids down in shy as his eyes started scanning her. He pulled her by her waist, making her to bump into his rough torso. She looked into his eyes and swiftly shifted them to down. Her hair started floating in the air whilst she felt restlessness by his gaze on her. He took his right hand and brushed off the hairs which were fallen on her face whilst his left hand was around her waist. He took her hands which were rested on his chest and made them to circle around his neck. She looked into his eyes while he moved near her lips. He pulled her into his hold more as he pressed his lips on hers. His both hands went behind her, holding her waist whilst she tightened her hold on him. He slowly slides his right hand inside her top, caressing her bare skin, making her gasp whilst he took it as a chance and entered into her mouth. He kept kissing her lips, while his right hand reached completely inside her top and started caressing it, making her more restless. When he realised she wasn't in a state to continue the kiss anymore, he broke it and placed his lips on her forehead, to relax her.
His lips then reached her cheeks, placing kisses on it and landed on her neck. She ached her body as he nudged into her neck, kissing it passionately whilst her hand went inside his hairs, caressing them. His grip around her waist got tightened, making her to pull into him more whilst her hands caressing his hairs and back with slight moans escaping from her mouth.
"We're getting late" she finally pushed words out of her mouth which got stuck in her throat due to his continuous kisses.
"A minute more" he whispered amongst his kisses and burried his face into her neck more, hugging her tightly.
Knowing he won't stop, she pulled herself out of his hold and closed her eyes with heavy breath. He joined his forehead with her's, composing himself. Taking his hand out of her top, he unwrapped her dupatta from around of his hand and placed it back on her shoulders. She looked at him while he smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. She snuggled into his chest with a smile.
"Let's go from this place or else I'll make our honeymoon here itself" he said in a husky voice while she pushed him with a punch on his chest.
"Let's go now" she said, dragging him by his hand whilst he followed her behind with a smile.
After reaching home, they got to know that their parents arranged their marriage after roli's studies gets complete, which will take one more year. They both given their acceptance and Sid along with his parents, bid bye to roli's family and moved towards their home.
