Roli was looking at Siddhant...
Roli: I was worried all these days.. but now your decision showed me a solution... Yes.. even if i marry someone else... Then there are chances for that person to ask one or other day about this picture & article which is known to the whole city...
Mataji: But why???
Mataji: Not like that Roli... Even Siddhant agreed for this...
Roli: Mataji, i know very well... he agreed seeing him here present to talk about this proposal.. Yes he agreed... but he is not ok with it... which is very clear on his face...
Mataji: Roli, that will be alright Roli... Even in arranged marriage, they dont know each other and still agree for the marriage... But after marriage they understand each other and love... that is how it goes...
Roli: yes...
Mataji: Roli, no need for any grand engagment.. we will make it between us just now...
After a while...She came out wearing it...
She took out 2 golden rings...
She gave one to Siddhant... and another to Roli...
Siddhant gave his hand towards her...
Roli & Siddhant took blessings of the elders...
All had sweet on that sweetish occasion...
jamanlal: Sure mataji... once they confirm we will make all marriage arrangements...
Bharatwaj family members started from there...
Before putting the shoes...
Siddhant lift his face and looked at Roli...
Roli was standing near the door holding it looking for his expression...
Part 17
Siddhant reached Bharatwaj house..
He rushed to his room and went near the window..
He was looking outside...
Siddhant was thinking, Roli is really smart..
She handled the situation efficiently..
She agreed for marriage as well as requested for some time too..
Its good she asked for time..
As she said both are not ready to accept the other as life partner...
Then how we can be happy...
Yes.. she used to call me as Sir...
How she can get with me easily as husband..
I too never saw her as a lover or wife...
It is difficult for me too..
Thanks Roli, you did great help asking for this time..
Interrupting his thoughts he got phone call..
He was informed about some theft happened in a rich person's house...
Siddhant: Ok.. will come in few minutes...
He swiftly changed to his uniform...
He started from house and went to the spot...
He rushed inside and started doing investigation about the theft...
After getting the available details...
Siddhant came out of the house and found media people standing outside the gate as usual seeking permission...
Siddhant was surprised to see Roli too there...
Some sort of sudden happiness inside him...
New feeling which he never felt till date...
Siddhant went near Roli..
Siddhant: Roli, get in...
Roli: Sir, does this mean you are allowing all media people inside???
Siddhant: No... I just called you inside...
Roli: If the call is for me alone... Sorry.. I am not coming..
Siddhant: But why...
Roli: I am also media person & why should I get in when others are waiting...
Siddhant: Roli, are you same like others...
Roli: Am I different from others??
Siddhant got no reply now..
He just moved from there...
He started giving instruction for his further proceedings to other policeman and continue his work..
After a while...
Media people were allowed inside...
Roli too get in with others...
Roli with other media people started asking questions...
Relating to the theft which has happened in the house of such known rich person of the town...
Siddhant answered to the extent possible...
Then he went out to proceed with his works...
Roli & other media people returned to their respective places...
Siddhant reached the police station and was involved in his works...
While Roli went to her office and gave the required informations about what she collected about the theft...
Part 18
Siddhant returned home after finishing all his works...
He had dinner and went to his room..
He changed to casuals and lay down in the bed...
He was not getting sleep..
When he closed his eyes...
Roli's words were rehearsing his mind...
Siddhant was thinking, Roli, I can't really understand the strange feeling I got when I saw you there.
More over why I called you alone inside...
In front of other media people how can you do that..
You were again right to take decision to stay with them...
But... I cant deny the question you asked whether you are different is really pricking one for me...
You are engaged to me... are you not different from others...
Why you asked such question to me...
I need the answer from you...
Siddhant was unable to hold him...
He called Roli...
Roli recognized it as his number and answered the call...
Siddhant: Roli, I got something to ask you...
Roli: Tell me Sir...don't worry I gave the information which you gave about the theft alone to print... no stories will be printed...
Siddhant: Roli, I am not talking about that...
Roli: Then??? What you want Sir that you called me in this midnight time...
Siddhant just looked at clock and realized the time...
Siddhant: oh! You were sleeping...sorry I disturbed you...
Roli: Its ok sir... now tell me what you want...
Siddhnat: Roli, first don't call me Sir... I feel very odd on hearing from you...
Roli: very odd... strange to hear... I am calling you like that only since our first meet...
Siddhant: Am I the same who you met at our first meet...
Roli: Why Sir??? Are you changed person then???
Siddhant: Roli, why cant you call causally with my name like how I am calling you Roli instead of Ms Roli...
Roli: I will try Sir...
Siddhant: Again Sir???
Roli: Oh Sorry!!! I am used to it...that is why...
Siddhant: ok... but try to change it...
Roli: ok will try... again now tell me for what you called???
Siddhant: to ask why you talked me like that there in that theft place???
Roli: You mean I denied to come inside... I thought If I alone might have come with you.. already all are making stories with us... then it will be adding oil to the fire... that is why...
Siddhant: Yes sorry for that... I was not suppose to ask you to come when others are waiting... as you said it might have created more problem..
Roli: Yes. You called me to ask this only???
Siddhant: No... this I understood... but I wanted to ask you about the one which you asked me at last...
Roli: You mean about the questions I asked you about the theft???
Siddhant: Roli, I know you are smart enough to understand what I say...
Roli: You mean.. I asked whether I am different from them???
Siddhant: yes... why you asked like that...
Roli: What else I can say when I am no way different from others...
Siddhant: How can you say that??? You are engaged to me... you are not same like others...
Roli: That engagement was done for others and due to situation reasons... but what is between us??? Nothing right!!!
Siddhant got no answer now
Part 19
Siddhant disconnected the phone call..
But he was unable to get disconnected with his thoughts...
Siddhant was thinking, she is right...
Even engagement happened for others...
That too for situation reasons...
Then why I am feeling different when I see her...
Why I feel she is different from others...
Why I felt bad when she asked me such question...
Why I started calling her Roli from Ms Roli...
Why I expect her to call me by name instead of Sir...
What Is happening???
What is this strange thing???
Siddhant was not getting sleep and was turning sides...
He himself was not aware when he slept...
Couple of days went...
Siddhant was busy in another investigation...
After finishing the investigation...
When Siddhant came out the media people surrounded him...
He was answering each & every question...
But he was missing something...
He was missing Roli there...
Siddhant was wondering where is she???
After completion of the interview with the media people...
Siddhant looked at one of the media person who was holding the mike holding the name of her newspaper...
Siddhant: You belongs to that news paper where Ms Roli is working???
Person: yes Sir...
Siddhant: She didn't come today???
Person: She came to office... but told me to attend this place...
Siddant: But why?? Normally she used to come to such places right!!!
Person: yes... not sure why... but she told me to attend...
Siddhant: Ok...
He left the place...
Siddhant was wondering what happened to her...
Why she avoided even coming here..
Is she avoiding me???
This thought itself was giving pain now...
Siddhant swiftly finished all his works...
He went to his station & checked for any other pending works and finished that too...
Siddhant came out of the station & get into his car...
He informed the driver that he will do self drive...
Siddhant took his car...
The car was going in different direction from his house...
Yes it was going to Roli's house...
After few minutes drive...
Siddhant reached Roli's house...
He parked the car and went inside the house...
Jamanlal & Meena were in the hall and were surprised to see Siddhant there...
Siddhant got some sort of hesitation for a moment...
Still he cant bear anymore...
Siddhant: Roli is there???
Jamanlal: Yes inside her room...
He showed the direction of her room...
Siddhant didn't wait the next moment and rushed towards Roli's room...
Part 20
Siddhant reached Roli's room...
Siddhant opened the door and entered inside...
Roli was on her bed lay down upside down...
Looking at something...
Roli hearing the door sound hide the paper which was on her hand below the pillow...
She turned towards the door and was surprised to see Siddhant there...
She swiftly got up from the bed and stood on the floor...
Siddhant locked the door...
Roli was feeling tensed and her knees were feeling weak out of shivering...
Siddhant slowly went near Roli...
Siddhant: I am sorry to enter into your room without even asking permission from you...
Roli: Its ok...
Her voice was feeble...
Siddhant: But I cant wait without asking you this...That is why came here directly...
Roli: What happened??? Did I committed any mistake???
Siddhant: I cant say it as mistake... but why you sent someone else...
Roli: Someone else!!! You mean to that spot...nothing special... just like that...
Siddhant: I know it is not just like that... tell me the reason...
Roli: Reason is...I don't want to put you in trouble...
Siddhant: put me in trouble???
Roli: Yes... what if someone comment that we are always together wherever we go... that is why...
Siddhant: what do you mean??? I cant get you...
Roli: I mean already our name & article came in the paper... already when we meet again in another investigation... policemen as well as other reporters were commenting about us behind... so I thought not to trouble you anymore
Siddhant: Roli, we can't run away for others... are you going to leave your profession or I am going to leave my profession for others sake... no right... We need to proceed with what we were doing...
Roli: Yes... but for that same photo only you were tensed on that day & asked me what all these right???
Siddhant now realized he blamed her as if it was her mistake...
Siddhant: Roli, are you upset that I talked rude to you that day... I am sorry... I was in tension that day...
Roli: Its ok... Still we need to avoid such right...
Siddhant: Anyway we are going to get married and let anyone tell anything... we are not going to bother...
Roli: We are going to marry... but when... that is not known till now right... you have not yet accepted me yet & I too not accepted you yet...
Siddhant: Is it??? Sure???
Roli: yes... that is the fact...
Siddhant: Roli, now I will show what is the fact...
Siddhant went near the bed and took the paper which roli hide below the pillow...
He showed Roli that paper...
Siddhant: What does this mean???
It was picture of Roli & Siddhant which was printed in the paper...
Roli got no answer...
Siddhant: Roli, if you have not accepted me & our relation... Then why you were looking at this picture...
Roli down her face...
Siddhant: Roli, answer me... are you really not interested in me... Then why this...
Roli was unable to understand what to answer...
She tried to move away from turning against him...
Siddhant hold her hands...
Roli was unable to move any further...
Siddhant pulled Roli towards him...
Siddhant's strong arms pulled her easily making her fall on his chest...
