Chapter 5
Recap:
Siddharth and Roshni are pretending to be a fake couple to make their exes jealous.
Siddharth was turned down by his girlfriend Shanaya while Roshni has still not shared her past. Will they fall in love on the cruise or will they unite with their first lovers again? Now further!
Roshni was hurt by sahil and she had still not shared her worries. He knew her worries were much more than a mere heartbreak , she had suffered much more than him and he could see it in her eyes.
But the question was how would he get her to confess , how would he tackle sahil and most importantly how did Siddharth understand roshni so much?
Next Day
"Roshni there's a party on the deck today. Won't it be super fun?" Siddharth asked looking at the ocean waves splashing across the ship anchors.
Kaise kahon
Kaise kahoon
o Oo yeah yeah yaaah
Kaise kahon lamhein mujhe choo rahein hain
Aisa laga hai inmein tera hi to ehsaas hai
Ouhh hooo
Kaise kahon dil mein nayi aahtein hai
Aisa laga hai inmein tera hi to ehsaas hai
He waited for a while but upon not getting any reply from her he looked at her and she wasn't paying any attention at all , she was staring lovingly at the sky and water meeting each other.
Siddharth had a big smile on his face , seeing her happy and content. He gently stroked her hair which made her look at him , she smiled peacefully.
What came next was a surprise to Siddharth , she kept her head on his shoulder and held his hand still looking ahead.
He looked around trying to see if Sahil and Shanaya were around and she was doing this to show it to them but he found no one there. He was about to ask her of this but the relief he saw on her face made him stop.
Tum mile to mera dil gaya
Tum mile to sab kuch mil gaya
Tum mile to logon se kya vasta
Was this a beginning of something new? Maybe it indeed was , Roshni bid him a bye with a small side hug and he pulled her cheeks reminding of the party in the evening.
"Kyun aisa hota hai Roshni ki tumhare saath main itna comfortable hota hun jitna kisi ke saath nahi?" he said looking at the changing colours of the sky above him.
Roshni who was hiding behind a pillar heard him speaking so and she didn't know why she wanted to be close to him even after her heart breaking once. She was afraid of loving again but maybe it wasn't in her control.
'Life plays games when we least expect them. When all is going in the right direction , there comes a turn which changes the course of the journey.'
"Siddharth should I wear red or black?" Roshni questioned holding the phone to her ear. She had been eating his head since the past 3 hours still he was patiently listening to her.
"Roshni wear red and the dress you sent the first time was the perfect one believe me. You'll look like a princess wearing it and no one would be able to take their eyes off you." he chided cutely.
She blushed as she heard him praising her. She was happy he couldn't see her like this or else she would have been utterly embarrassed.
"Siddharth ek baat puchun?" she asked startling him , all the time she was talking of the dresses she tried on ,not that he minded but this was a turn around.
"Ya sure roshni. Kuch bhi pucho , main toh aapka ghulam hun." he said causing her to laugh. She composed herself quickly and decided to ask it upfront.
"Do you think if we give it a chance we both can fall in love with each other?" roshni questioned , her fingers crossed in anticipation of his answer.
"Frankly speaking roshni , I'm not surprised ki you asked this question and to answer it , I think I've already started falling for you. " he said and the line turned silent.
Siddharth thought he needed to make her comfortable so he started laughing hard and spoke ,"Kidding yaar , I don't believe in thinking all this roshni because love just happens gradually. When we fall in it we don't even realise but we do realize that it is impossible to live without that person."
She was stumped hearing his words , first of all she really wanted the statement that he was falling for her to be true , she didn't know why but she liked him close to her!
"Okay Siddharth , you're coming to pick me up na?" she asked putting on her earrings when she heard a gasp from the other side and got scared.
"Are you okay Siddharth? Hello speak up you idiot." she said frightened and menacing. He smiled at her care and concern for him.
"Han han I'm okay , it's just that you need me to come to your room and escort you to the hall?" he questioned smiling at her through the phone , he so wanted to see her expression now.
"Obviously , you're my boyfriend." she spoke in a jiffy and he was grinning ear to ear now. Of course they were pretending being together like a couple but it felt so natural.
In the evening
Roshni got a knock on her door as she was buttoning up her gown. She called out ,"Is that you Siddharth?"
"Yup , aren't you ready till now?" he asked and she just opened the door slightly and said ,"Could you get some girl on the ship to help. My dress doesn't zip up."
Siddharth saw her looking surreal in the red dress she was wearing and he couldn't stop himself from going inside.
"Siddharth!" roshni whined staring at the mirror , not able to pull her back zipper up and her back was all bare while he was just looking at it.
Siddharth moved closer to her in a trance and sensed her back with his hands. Roshni shivered and her eyes lifted up to see him boring his eyes right into hers.
She left the zipper she was holding and he caught it , he gently started pushing it up all the time his hands touching her skin sending tingles down her spine.
He pushed her hair apart and was finally done closing the zip. Both of them were breathing hard and Roshni had her eyes closed.
Siddharth was intoxicated by her gorgeous demeanour and leaned in brushing her hair away to place a short kiss on her shoulder.
She held her gown tight as his lips touched her body , till now only his hands made her feel strange , now even his lips was too much to take for her.
He moved his hands forward and grabbed her by her belly , Roshni clutched his hand , eyes closed all the while taking in the love he was showering on her.
Siddharth kept his face closer to her neck and breathed in her scent , kissing her hair closely. She started shifting closer to him as a sign of accepting his touch and advances.
He whispered , "Roshni" , his voice was so husky that she couldn't help turning around and hugging him tight. He came back in his senses as he felt her hug him.
This was wrong , she was just flowing in the moment , he wanted to hug her , kiss her and what not but she didn't feel for him.
He tried pushing her apart but she clung onto him hard. She was arousing his desires , she kissed him on his cheek , she next kissed on his neck and felt his collar by her hand.
Roshni was loving this moment more than anything , she moved forward and closed her eyes almost ready to kiss his lips.
Seeing him look so ethereal , he was blown by her innocent face and inviting gesture. He held her face like a feather he was blessed to hold in his hands.
Siddharth went ahead and claimed her lips. He kissed her gently at first but then moved back to check if she was comfortable.
Roshni held such a big smile on her face ,her eyes still not open. If this was a dream she didn't want it to end ever.
She opened her eyes which glistened with something unknown. Ushering him towards her , this time she initiated kissing him with a passion even unknown to her.
Siddharth's hands reached her hair and he moved them in a circle. It felt so good to have her kissing him and the way he protected her from the outer world felt extremely comforting to her.
After sometime they heard a voice ,"So this is what you're doing with him , I thought you still loved me." Sahil came in accusing her.
Roshni lowered her eyelashes , Siddharth misunderstood her actions and thought she regretted the moment. He was about to leave when Sahil's voice stopped him.
"If you can touch him , why couldn't you touch me?" Sahil spat and Siddharth looked at Roshni who was shedding tears now.
The anger in him rose ten fold and he punched Sahil right in the gut. He fell down clutching his stomach and moaning in pain.
"Just stay away from her , she isn't an object that you may touch and keep." Siddharth growled and kicked him on his face.
He held her hand and took her with him asking room service to clean the mess in the room. As Siddharth was walking out holding Roshni , she jerked away his hand.
"Leave me alone. I..." she stuttered and pushed him away , he tried going to calm her down but she shook her head.
Siddharth escorted her back to her room and left her to deal with things her way. As he was about to leave after she shut her door , he heard her voice and things being smashed on the floor.
He peeped in through the keyhole and could see a vulnerable Roshni standing with her eyes wet , her kajal smudged on her face.
"She needs me , she needs a hug , I wish she allowed me to be her comforting shoulder or even her punching bag. But I won't leave you alone roshni." Siddharth said and sat by the door.
Inside Roshni was sitting with her hands on her head trying to get what sin had she committed that her life never seemed happy or why her life tuning happy was such an impossibility , while outside Siddharth sat in an hope that tomorrow roshni would confide in him , his love would change her.
Yes , Siddharth Khurrana was finally in love again and this time it was true love!
