Roli entered into the car & closed the door...
She turned casually to her right while Siddhant too turn towards the left hearing the door sound...
Siddhant eyes struck on her face for a moment...
While Roli got tensed seeing Siddhant...
Her heart beat was on its speed...
Her body started shivering...
Mataji & Sujatha looked at each other & chuckled...
Mataji: Siddhant.. shall we start...
Siddhant came back to senses and started the car with a blush...
Roli swiftly down her face in shyness...
Roli remembered the previous night happening...
Yes... the moment she went to sleep...
After completing all the household works...
She took the cover with the photo...
She looked around that no one is there...
Then slowly took the photo from the cover...
When she look at his picture...
Roli blushed & down her eyelids...
When she tried to look at the picture again...
Suddenly Siddhant smiled in the picture...
Roli got afraid and dropped the photo down...
She felt like he is smiling again...
Then she realised its her feeling seeing the smiling picture of Siddhant...
Then took the photo back in her hand...
When she tried to look at his eyes...
She felt like the mischief eyes were making her blush more...
She was unable to even look at his pic any more second...
She kept back the photo in the cover and kept below the pillow...
Roli blushed & lean on the pillow...
She covered her with the blanket & remembered his face in the photo...
His smiling face was not letting her to sleep soon...
After pushing the time very hard.. she slept nearing the dawn...
Roli never expected to see Siddhant today...
That too very near...
Her heart beat is yet to come back to normal...
She was shivering a lot...
Roli didn't even tried to turn towards him...
She was holding her dupatta tightly...
As if it is the support for her now...
Elders did noticed Siddhant looking at her then & there slightly turning his face thinking its not noticed by others...
While Roli was not showing any guts to even lift her eyelids to even try to look at Siddhant...
After few more minutes of drive...
The car reached the shopping place...
Siddhant parked the car...
Elders got down from back seat...
While Roli was not knowing to open the door...
She was wondering what can be done...
Siddhant turned towards her... and saw her sitting without even trying to open the door...
He was wondering what she is doing looking at the door here & there...
Siddhant; Please get down.. i will park the car & come...
On hearing him talking to her... Roli got more frightened...
Her face turned pale...
Her eyes widened without knowing what can be done...
Roli: Woh.. woh...
She was not getting words...
Siddhant; What happened???
Roli: How to open this door???
She finally collect courage to ask the question...
Siddhant smiled...
Siddhant: I will help you...
Siddhant lean towards her while Roli got more frightened and shrink herself to the extent possible...
Siddhant forward his hand and removed the lock...
Then opened the door...
Roli just simply rushed out from the car as soon as door opened...
Then went near elders...
Siddhant smiled...
Part 8Siddhant got down from the car and started marching towards elders & Roli...
Roli simple hide herself behind elders...
Rajender: Shall we go...
Siddhant: yes.. lets go...
Siddhant looked at Roli who was almost frightened...
He thought of easing her...
So he went near Rajender...
Rajender & Siddhant were going ahead... while ladies were coming behind...
Roli got little relaxed and started walking with them...
They entered into the cloth store & went to lehenga section...
Ladies started their selection... while... Siddhant & Rajender were standing little away...
Mataji looked at Roli who is still afraid...
Mataji: Roli.. select the dress...
Roli: Mataji.. whatever you select.. i never select any dress.. so i dont know...

She was not getting further words...
Mataji: Roli.. i know you are tensed.. but you know Siddhant is very nice guy... only if you move with him.. you will understand that there is nothing to get tensed... so be relaxed...
Roli nod her head as acceptance...
Siddhant; What is your favorite color...
Roli: color.. woh...
She again started getting tensed...
Mataji looked at Sujatha & expressed to move from there...
Elders moved from there & went to sit in the chair which were there in some distance...
Siddhant seeing them going away understood elders trying to give privacy to them to move...
While Roli was tensed to the core...
Roli: color..
She was unable to talk anything further...
Siddhant smiled...
Siddhant: Roli... just relax.. we are just selecting dress for you... so nothing to get tense in this.. ok...
Roli nod her head as acceptance...
Siddhant; Now tell me.. you have favorite color or any color ok...

Siddhant: No.. its not too good... take that maroon...
Shop keeper showed...
Siddhant: This is ok... what you say Roli...
Roli: haann
Roli expressed jerk inside her when he asked her...
Siddhant: Look at this.. is this ok for you...

Roli: its ok.. if you like...
She said keeping her face down...
Siddhant: Not like that.. its you who is going to wear this.. so your wish is also important.. look at this...

Then Siddhant looked at Roli from head to toe.. then the dress...
Siddhant: This size will be ok for you i think.. still try it...
Roli: haann.. how can i...
She got tensed how she can try the dress in the shop...
Siddhant: Go to the trial room and wear it.. see whether it fits you...
Roli: trial room!!!
She asked in surprise thinking what it is...
Siddhant understood.. she is new for shopping...
Siddhant: Come.. i will take you...
Siddhant hold her hand to take her...
Roli was shivering in fear...
But she got no guts to take her hand from his hold...
Siddhant started walking towards the trial room...
Elders did watched it.. but kept silent...
After reaching near the trial room...
Siddhant: Go inside this room and change this dress.. there will be mirror.. check in that whether the size is perfect...
Siddhant opened the door of the trial room while ROli entered into the room with hesitation...
Part 9Siddhant was waiting for Roli to come out of trail room...
But it went some time.. but she didn't came out...
Siddhant was wondering what is happening...
Then he thought may be she need some help...
And he knows her now that she is is afraid to move..
so she is not going to call Siddhant & tell what is her problem...
Siddhant went near the room...

While Siddhant who was hearing these was in tears knowing her condition...
Roli changed her dress and came out holding the lehenga on her hand...
Siddhant turned towards her hearing the door sound...
Roli swiftly down her face...
Siddhant: Come...
Roli & Siddhant started walking towards the section...
Siddhant forward his hand towards her and took the lehenga from Roli...
Then gave it for billing...
Siddhant looked around & saw the dresses section...
Siddhant: Roli.. come with me...
Siddhant hold her hand again and started moving towards the dress section...
Elders were wondering where Siddhant is taking her...
While he went to dresses section... Sujatha understood and smiled...
Sujatha explained Mataji about the discussion happened with Roli inside the room...

Siddhant: Roli... you select anything.. i am ready to wear... i dont mind...
Roli lift her face & looked at those Sherwani which were shown...
She was wondering which to select...
She slightly turn her face to look at him... while Siddhant was just gazing at Roli...
She swiftly turned towards the dresses...
She was unable to control the heart which was beating fast and her body which was shivering...
She decided to select the dress swiftly and go to elders...
She took a dress on her hand...
Roli: This ok...
Siddhant who was lost on her face came back to senses & looked at the dress Roli was holding...
Siddhant laughed...
Siddhant; Roli... you selected a small size from that side when so many are here of my size...
That is when Roli realised.. she was holding a dress from different set which was kept by the shop keeper aside...
Roli kept the dress back and looked a the dresses shown by the shopkeeper...
Siddhant; Roli.. why are you so much tensed.. am i looking dreadful...
Roli nod her head as denial...
Siddhant: Then what.. just relax...
