Roshni walked in the girls house and sat down on the sofa.
The girl went and got a first aid box to nurse Roshnis wounds.
"Aishaa I feel so lucky to have a friend like you! Thank you for allowing to keep me here for a few days", Roshni cried.
"That's alright. After all you're my friend right? Uh but I still can't believe you're in this state. I mean where were you",Aishaa said worriedly.
"Someone kidnapped and tortured me and...",Roshni stammered to say. She was in full pain.
"OK Roshni calm down.", Aishaa hugged her tightly and consoled her.
Aishaa got up and went to take her phone. She came back and started dialing Sids number.
"Wait don't call him please. Its a request".
"Roshni do you know what you're saying? You know how he's worried for you. He cries at night and he looks for you. Do you know his pain? Wait don't tell me you think Sid really tried to touch you that night forcefully?", Aishaa was getting possessive.
"No no! I would never think of something like that about him. Honestly I don't know Aishaa what happened that night. It felt like someone touched me but I don't know. I can barely remember! And about why you can't call him,you just can't."
"Roshni I know these day you must have been in so much pain but come on Sid needs to know. He's dead worried"
"Look Aishaa I don't want to hurt him but trust me if I don't do this then he will be on danger"
"What? Are you serious? What happened?",Aishaa was shocked
"There was a woman who came to save me. And she told me to promise her that I would stay away from her Sid..."
"What? But who?", Aishaa was more worried about Sid now.
"I can't tell. She told me to promise her to not tell anyone who she is"
"Roshni that's fine and all but when Sid will ask me questions and tell me his problems", Aishaa was a bad liar even she knew it.
"Just behave as you usually would because no matter what he finds, he will never find me here because he trusts you completely", Roshni knew Sid was intelligent enough to find her but she had a little hope that he wouldn't.
"OK no problem.. I think you should sleep to get some rest"
She went to sleep in the room with Aishaa. Aishaa was just getting worried about Sid.
Sids room:
Sid was sitting down on his bed.
Thinking of his precious Roshni. He recalled the moment slowly.
"Bhagwan mujhe meri Roshni wapas do. Main uske bina nahi reh sakta.", He cried so much.
Suddenly his eyes fell on the figure in front of him. She was wearing a beautiful red Saree. He always liked her in sarees.
She came closer to him.
"Siddarth I am always with you.I am very close to you."
She kissed him on his forehead slowly. Sid closed his eyes and tried to feel the kiss.
A smile was brought to his face.
When he opened his eyes no one was there other than himself.
Seeing Roshni wearing a Saree reminded him of something.
Flashback:
It was cultural day at college so Roshni decided to wear a Saree. It was a beautiful green Saree.
Sid came to her house to pick her up.
"Hi Bua", Sid greeted her.
"Hi Sid! Actually Roshni is in her room changing. She'll be out in a second", she told him knowing how impatient he was to see Roshni in sarees for the first time.
Half an hour passed...
"What the hell yaar! This girl bi na.", He was so frustrated.
"Wait Sid, am nearly done", saying that she opened the door.
"Oh my god! Yeh meri Roshni hain kya?", he was mesmerized seeing her.
Roshni smiled at him and said " Sid let's go".
She walked out and accidentally stepped on her Saree. Her saree wasn't pinned properly so the Saree slid down her shoulder causing Sid to see part of her waist.
Roshni looked up at Sid and got embarrassed. Sid smiled seeing her shy.
She ran back to her room and took the pins out to rearrange the Saree in the correct way. But she was confused.
"You want me to help?", she heard a voice behind her.
She could barely talk. Sid took the pins from her hands. He placed it on the bed.
He took the Saree and made pleats. He tugged it into Roshnis skirt while Roshni closed her eyes. She felt Sids hands around her waist.
Sid pulled her closer and whispered "Baby give me your saree"
He took the Saree from her hands.
She blushed.
He turned her around in the saree by her waist and then slid the saree up her shoulder pinning it.
He leaned it and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek which made her blush.
"Looking good"
Roshni pulled him out of the room to go to college or they would've been late.
Flashback end..
He laughed recalling that sweet moment and with those memories he fell asleep.
Morning:Khurrana house
Sid sat down to have breakfast and Simran was talking with someone over the phone.
"Look I don't wanna argue Mr.Banerjee. Just cancel this marriage!".
She hanged up the phone stressfully.
College:
Aishaa came to college. She tried to avoid Sid. Sid came up to her and said "Hi"
Aishaa said "hello" and walked away.
Sid noticed her weird behavior. She was avoiding him all day and Sid started to notice it. He knew something was wrong.
"Somethings definitely annoying herher but what could it be?", Sid thought.
"What if she knows something about Roshnis whereabouts",He now doubted her.
He went up to her.
"Aishaa I have been seeing your weird behavior since class. What are you trying to hide from me?"
"No Sid I would never hide anything from you. Trust me", She said. She felt helpless but what to do she had promised Roshni.
"You are hiding something from me. Is it about Roshni?"
The minute he said that she looked at him.
Sids suspicion was more strong.
The bell for next class rang so Aishaa walked away quickly.
Aishaas house:
Roshni was sitting at home alone. She was thinking of her moment with Sid.
She felt bad for Sid.
She knew Sid must have been feeling alone. He needed her support but she wasn't there. Their love wasn't so weak that it would break just because someone said so. Somewhere Roshni wanted Sid to find her but then again she didn't.
She waited for Aishaa to come back.
Then she heard her opening the door.
"Hi Aishaa",Roshni saw her upset.
"Hi Roshni. How are you?", Aishaa came over to sit beside her.
"How is Sid",Roshni was so impatient to know.
"You know Roshni he is like a living corpse.."
Hearing this Roshni couldn't control her tears.
"He looks for clues to find you. You know he sees your shadow"
"My shadow?"
"Yeah he yearns for you. By seeing your shadow he gains strength..but one thing he's a bit angry at you", Aishaa said slowly
"But why",Roshni was shocked.
"He found out you were DD's daughter and.."
"And he was angry that I didn't tell him"
"Why didn't you Roshni?", Aishaa was a bit angry too at her.
"I don't know I guess I have always tried to keep myself away from these memories",Roshni was feeling more upset for Sid.
"Aishaa you love Sid don't you?", Roshni always knew and finally she confrontation her.
"Roshni..", Aishaa was stunned at her question.
"Don't lie. I am like your older sister"
"Yes I love him but you guys are made for each other, you know that?"
Aishaa then got up and walked away.
Roshni went to her and Aishaas room.
She couldn't find the duvet so she opened Aishaas cupboard.
A sheet fell out and she picked it up to put it back.
Suddenly her eyes fell on the name 'DD Patel'
She was shocked.
"Mom?", she said to herself.
She started reading and it was Aishaas birth certificate.
Beside mother and father it said DD Patel and Shiv Patel.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
OK so that was it. How was the revelations? 😳
