Part 16Siddhant got discharged from hospital...
They catch a taxi to reach home...
Siddhant hand was tied with bandage so that he wont make any movement with that hand...
Roli opened the door & looked at Siddhant...
Siddhant who dropped the slippers on the floor was unable to lift it to keep it in its place...
Roli knows he wont feel good if things are not kept in place...
Roli helped to keep their slippers on its place...
Siddhant: Roli.. let it be..
Roli: Its ok.. i know you wont be at peace if things are not in place... you may feel disturbed by this..
Its true.. Siddhant feel restless if things are not kept in its place...
He was happy that Roli started understanding him...
They both entered into the house...
Roli: Siddhant.. you take rest.. i will prepare food & come...
Siddhant; Roli.. i will sit in the dining.. after having food.. we can go to our room...
Roli never heard him telling our room in all these days...
Roli smiled...
Roli: Ok.. but if you are feeling tired.. you take rest...
Siddhant: Sure.. anyway i feel bored being in the bed as i was in the bed only whole day in the hospital...
Roli: thats right...
Roli pulled the chair so that he can sit in it...
After confirming he sat conveniently... Roli started her cooking...
Roli prepared his favorite dishes...
Siddhant was admiring her from dining...
Siddhant was thinking.. how much affectionate you are...
Sorry Roli.. i did hurt you a lot...
In a while...
Roli finished preparing dinner...
She kept all the cooked food in the dining & neatly clean the gas top...
Siddhant was thinking.. she is equally neat & clean only...
It seems like i unwanted blamed her a lot..
Roli after cleaning the cooking area came to dining...
Roli: Shall we have food...
Siddhant: Ok...
Roli served the food in the plate...
But she knows.. he cant take the food on his own...
Siddhant was looking at the food thinking how to eat...
He forward his left hand to take the food...
Roli: Siddhant.. wait.. i will help you...
Roli came forward seeing his trying to use his left hand...
Roli took the food & started feeding him...
Siddhant started having food gazing at Roli...
Siddhant: Roli.. you too have food.. you too may feel hungry...
Roli: Thats right.. but i will have after feeding you...
Siddhant: But it will take time...
Roli: So what.. its just matter of few more minutes...

Roli gave him his medicines...
Roli: Now sleep well & take rest...
Roli went to fresh up herself having shower...
She came out in the night dress...
She comb her hair & put a clip neatly...
Siddhant was admiring her all the way & it was even noticed by Roli through the mirror...
Roli: Siddhant.. you didn't sleep yet...
Siddhant: not getting sleep Roli...
Roli: Not getting sleep.. but you had medicine too.. you should feel sleepy...
Siddhant: But not getting.. what can be done... can you help me...
Roli: Help.. sure.. tell me.. what should i do...
Siddhant: Can i...
Roli: hmm...
Siddhant: Lay down on your lap Roli...
Roli was surprised... but she didn't denied...
Roli came to bed & sat beside him...
He lay down on her lap...
Roli caresses his hair...
Roli: Siddhant.. is it your usual to lay down on your mom lap when not feeling well...
Siddhant: Yes..
Roli: Thats why you want to lay down in the lap.. as your mom not here.. you are asking me...
Siddhant knows what she is telling is truth...
Roli: Siddhant... once i was thinking you as a harsh person.. rude person... but not anymore...
Siddhant: Then how i am now.. tell me...
Roli: Now.. you seems to be so childish...
Siddhant: Childish.. its ok.. with whom i am.. its you.. my wife...
Roli hearing him telling my wife with some sort of showing his rights for first time...
Roli smiled...
Part 17Next day...
Roli got up while Siddhant was still sleeping...
She fresh up herself & went to kitchen to complete preparing the breakfast...
Then came back to see him...
He was still sleeping & she knows its the effect of medicine...
But he need to take breakfast & medicine..
Then he can sleep again...
Hence Roli decided to wake him up & went near him...
Roli hold his shoulder...
Roli: Siddhant... Siddhant...
He slowly opened his eyes & looked at Roli with a smile...
Siddhant: Good morning...
Roli: Good morning.. sorry i know you were sleeping and i disturbed.. but you need to have medicine having breakfast.. thats why...
Siddhant: Its ok.. i did wake up once few minutes before.. but you were not there.. so i closed my eyes again & slept...
Roli: Ok.. now get up.. i will help you in brushing the teeth & will feed breakfast...
Siddhnat: its ok Roli.. i will brush with my left...
Roli: Anyway.. get up.. i will help you to put the paste in the brush.. try to do it with your left.. if finding difficulty.. then i will help you...
Roli put the paste & gave him...
As he is not used to brush in left.. it was difficult for him...
Roli took the brush & helped him in brushing the teeth...
Roli: Come lets have breakfast & coffee...
Siddhant: Roli.. i wish to take bath...
Roli: But you got external scratches.. let it get healed.. you take sponge bath...
Siddhant; Roli.. i may not feel fresh...
Roli: Please hear my words.. just 2 more days.. then you can take bath...
Siddhant: Ok...
Roli filled the bowl with hot water & took a towel to give sponge bath...
Siddhant tried to remove the buttons in the shift.. but he was not successful...
Roli with a smile.. went near him...
She started removing the buttons while Siddhant was gazing at her...
Siddhant slowly forward his left hand & wrapped around her waist...
Roli blushed...
He swiftly pulled her more closer towards him...
Siddhant moved towards her face & kissed on her forehead..
Roli closed her eyes on the first touch of his lips on her...
Siddhant kissed on her closed eyes...
Then on her nose...
Then on her right & left cheeks...
Roli was become restless on his sudden kisses...
Then he moved towards her lips...
Suddenly he heard...
Roli: Siddhant.. shall i start...
Siddhant got his conscious back on her calling...
That is when he realised.. it was mere dream...
Roli just removed the shirt & asking him whether can start giving sponge bath...
Siddhant nod his head as acceptance...
Siddhant was wondering about his imagination...
He was not expecting him to think any of these...
She is now his mere friend right who will go parting from his life in just few more months...
Even the thinking of parting was giving some sort of pain inside him...
Roli dip the hot water in the towel & started wiping him...
After giving sponge bath...
She took out the changing dress for him & looked at him...
Roli: You wear this.. i will bring the breakfast...
She moved from there towards kitchen so that he can change his dress...
Siddhant changed his dress & was waiting for her to come...
Roli came with the breakfast & started feeding Siddhant...
Part 18Siddhant got his external injuries healed by now...
Siddhant: Roli.. i wish to take bath nicely atleast today...
Roli: Sure.. i know you are not feeling fresh before that... but i also wish you dont get your right hand wet...
Siddhant; I will take care Roli...
Roli: Lets do one thing...
She tied polythene cover on his right hand.. so that it wont get wet...
Roli: Now it wont get wet.. but that alone not enough...
Siddhant: Then.. what now???
Roli: You should not stain that hand... you should keep it carefully...
Siddhant: I will keep it Roli.. dont worry...
Roli: No.. i am afraid.. let me help you out...
Siddhant went to bathroom wrapping a towel on his waist...
Roli too went.. to help him...
She put stool for him to sit & kept little bigger stool beside him to keep his hand...
Then opened the shower knob for him to take bath...
Roli helped him in putting the soap...
Romantic imaginations were disturbing Siddhant a lot...
He wanted to do much more with her than letting her to help him to take bath...
But he was afraid.. he was not sure.. how she will take it...
She is thinking him as friend.. while its wrong on his part to do anything with her...
Of course.. she is his wife.. but this strange situation was reached because of his own deed...
When he was lost on his thoughts...
Roli opened the shower...
Siddhant got up from the stool...
He looked at Roli...
He was unable to hold him anymore...
Siddhant hold Roli hand & pulled her closer...
He wrapped his left hand around her...
The water from the shower started wetting both...
Wet Roli was driving him more crazy...
Roli: Siddhant..
She was not getting words on his sudden hug...
Roli was thinking.. what is this all about...
Why he is hugging her now...
May be its her mistake that she came to move intimate with him while taking bath & all which disturbed him...
When so many puzzles were around her thoughts...
Siddhant moved towards her wet cheeks & placed his first kiss...
Roli was pleasantly surprised & looked at siddhant...
Before she could realise what is happening...
Siddhant moved towards her lips...
Roli was wondering how to go about...
But she realised.. his right hand is getting strain too...
Roli slightly pushed him & moved away...
Roli: Siddhant.. you are in water since long.. lets go out...
Roli closed the shower knob...
Roli started wiping his wet body with the towel...
Then gave the towel to Siddhant...
Roli: COme out changing the dress.. i kept it here...
She showed the cloth rod & went out of the bathroom...
Siddhant felt bad that he moved intimate to her when she is not interested...
He cant blame her for pushing him away... though he is her husband...
As its all because of Siddhant himself...
When she is treating him as friend.. its wrong on his part to do that with her...
Siddhant started changing his dress...
Roli who came outside was not getting his fasten heart beat slow down yet...
Roli was thinking.. why he was moving close to me like that...
She touch her wet cheeks..
She was wondering.. he really kissed me... what does this mean...
Its purely because of her mistake..
He was ready to take bath..
It was Roli mistake that she went to help him..
As he moved close he was disturbed & she cant blame him for that...
He is thinking her as friend.. while it is her mistake that she went to distract him...
Roli realised she is wet...
She took another dress & went to changing room...
Roli came out changing her dress while Siddhant too came out of bathroom...
Roli & Siddhant looked at each other...
Part 19Roli & Siddhant hesitated to look at each other in the fear that how the other might have taken...
Siddhant came near Roli...
Siddhant: I am sorry Roli.. I was not suppose to behave like that...
Roli felt guilty that he is telling sorry...
Roli: No Siddhant.. its not your mistake.. its mine..
Siddhant: No Roli.. but i did that mistake.. you didn't do anything...
Roli: Not that.. actually i only came closer to you.. that is the reason for what you did.. so its my mistake...
Siddhant: But you came to help me in taking bath as my hand is injured... its my mistake...
Both were feeling guilty for what they did...
Siddhant was thinking.. its very normal thing between couples or even lovers.. but see because of me we are feeling guilty...
Roli was thinking.. in what situation we have landed.. for such small intimacy we both are feeling guilty.. its all because of me..
Siddhant was thinking.. i might have adjusted with you from 1st day.. instead put more pressure on you to be perfect & landed in decision of separation.. its all because of me...
Roli was thinking.. i might have adjusted with your life style.. you just want to be perfect.. whats wrong in it.. its my adamant that we ended up in separation decision.. its all because of me...
Roli & Siddhant looked at each other with various thoughts...
Both realised what they did in the past is wrong...
But now what happened is happened...
They decided for a separation...
Now they are just pushing the days.. to complete their 1 year & get separated...
For pushing these days.. mutually decided to be as friends...
When that is the case.. then why feeling pain just by thinking about such separation...
Even the distance between them are giving pain...
Instead both want to be close to each other...
Still both are afraid that other should not mistake on crossing the limit of a friend...
They days were passing...
Siddhant hand got alright...
He consulted doctor & was confirmed his hand as normal...
He started going to office as well...
Roli & Siddhant started getting lost on each other...more & more... day by day...
One such day...
Roli & Siddhant were on the bed to sleep...
But both were not getting sleep...
Roli & Siddhant looked at each other...
Part 20Roli remembered Siddhant sleeping on her lap when he was not well...
Siddhant remembered Roli hugging him during thunder...
Roli was thinking... Siddhant you will sleep on my lap.. only when not feeling well... wont you come to me on other days...
Siddhant was thinking.. Roli you will come to me only during thunder.. wont you come on other days...
The longing was on both their eyes...
Both want to go to the other.. but how... what if the other mistake...
Both were wondering what is the longing is all about on the other eyes...
They were afraid of losing their control if they look at them further...
They both turned sides against each other...
Then slowly pushed themselves behind as if moving closer casually...
But one was not knowing the same is done by other too...
In few more pushes...
They both were close to each other & they hit their back with each other...
That is when they realised.. both moved to center in the same way...
They were thinking whether to move away...
But they were not interested...
They closed their eyes in a good feeling that the other is just beside them...
If the other is also moved towards center... what does it mean???
Does this mean.. the same search is on other too...
They got puzzles inside the mind...
They tried to sleep.. but both were not successful...
Siddhant was thinking.. Roli might have slept by now...
Lets turn towards her and take her on my shoulder...
Siddhant turned towards Roli...
Siddhant found Roli eyes closed & thought she is sleeping...
As they were very close... and as Siddhant turned towards her...
By now Roli was on his shoulders..
Siddhant admired her face for a while...
Then slowly forward his hand to wrap around her...
Then closed his eyes to sleep...
Roli who was also awake realised.. Siddhant turned towards her...
Yes.. she can hear his heart beat clearly...
Also he wrapped his hand around her...
She thought may be he did in sleep...
Roli slowly opened her eyes & looked at Siddhant...
Siddhant eyes were closed...
Roli was thinking... as i thought he is sleeping...
Whether to move away or not... But why.. why to move away.. its not Roli who came near him and wrapped hands around... he did in sleep... so let it be...
Roli hide her more on him going close to the extent possible...
Then slowly forward her hand with hesitation...
Then was thinking... he wrapped his hand in sleep.. then why cant i do that...
She wrapped her hand around him...
Roli closed her eyes...
Siddhant opened his eyes...
Siddhant was thinking.. Roli too wrapped her hand around me... whats happening...
May be she is doing in the sleep... whatever.. lets enjoy this hug & sleep peacefully...
Siddhant tighten his grip around her & closed his eyes to sleep...
Roli & Siddhant slept peacefully...
