Chapter 32: (Written By Shab)
Sidharth was finding it hard to control his anger.
He felt like an animal wanting to tear Dev limb to limb, for what he had done to Roshni.
Sid blew a long slow breath, as he narrated the whole incident to Rahul.
Rahul closed his eyes for a second as he absorbed everything that Sid had said.
Clutching his head Sid tried to control his temper.
"I'm going to kill him Rahul..I'm going to kill him..."
Rahul put a hand on his shoulder.
"Sid relax. Dev needs to be taught a lesson, but we need to think rationally".
"Rationally Rahul!!!" Sid said sarcastically.
"You should have seen Roshni. She was so frightened. She was trembling in my arms, and there was nothing I could do about it.
So tell me Rahul how do I relax, when I know that Dev is responsible for her condition".
Rahul ran his hand through his hair.
"We will talk to him. We will warn him to stay away from Roshni"
"Seriously! Talk...have you lost it Bro".
"I'm not letting him off that easily. He will have to pay for what he did to Roshni".
Adrenaline tore through his blood, giving him a merciless edge.
"I want his soul, and I want it now".
Rahul shook his head
"This is your anger talking Sid, violence is not the solution".
Sid snarled
"Rahul he's terrorised my Roshni for the last time.
There will be no thinking. It's time for action.
I want his head at Roshni feet".
Pointing a finger at Rahul..
"And don't try to stop me!"
I know exactly what I want to do...I will torture him like he tortured my Roshni. I want him to scream. I'll make him pay for what he's done".
Sidharth anger knew no bounds.
"Just listen to yourself Bro!
How will Roshni react if she sees you like this.
Torturing Dev is not the answer.
He will pay for his deeds, trust me Bro.
At the moment Roshni frame of mind is very fragile.
We need to handle this Dev situation very carefully".
Sid closed his eyes. He knew that Rahul was right. He had to take control of the rage surging up inside him.
He needed to deal with Dev quietly.
"Your right Rahul. I'll talk to him, this time. But if he ever so much as looks at Roshni again, then I won't be responsible for the consequences".
Saying this he stormed out of the tent in search of Dev.
Sidharth glanced around the campsite, and noticed Dev standing by a tree.
He clenched his fists, trying to hold back his anger, as he approached him.
"I need to talk to you" Sid said harshly, trying to keep his temper under control.
"Sid. ..what's up?" Dev replied looking up
from his mobile.
Sidharth clenched his wrist tighter. He wanted to punch him there and then.
"It's very simple Dev...I want you to stay the Hell away from my wife, you get that"
Dev looked up from his mobile, in shock, putting up a smile.
"Don't know what your talking about Sid!"
Sid shook his head side to side and laughed
"You're really hysterical you know that. Well Mr. Dev Saxena,
I know all about you and your twisted mind.
I know what you put my Roshni through.
I know every Goddamn thing you have ever done to her.
Now for your own sake, whatever you did in the past with Roshni, better not be repeated in the present"
Dev simply shrugged his shoulders
"Are you threatening me Mr Khurana?"
Sidharth stepped closer and grabbed him by the collar tightly.
"Consider it a threat Dev Saxena. Roshni is
my wife, she is my life, and if you even raise an
eyelid to look at her...I'll kill you..."
Letting go off his collar...
"You've been warned. Stay away"
Sidharth walked away, regretting that he had not punched him.
Dev watched Sid walk away, the corners of his mouth turned up as he smirked
"Stay away from Roshni. Not possible Mr Khurana. She was mine; is mine and will always be mine".
"You shouldn't have threatened me. I don't like threats. Now Roshni will have to pay". He said with a scornful laugh.
He looked at his mobile and looked at a picture of Roshni
"I'm coming to get you Baby...I can't wait any longer".
---------------------------------------------------------
Roshni sat gazing into the fire remembering Dev words
"If you call the police, I'll hurt Soniya"
She closed her eyes, trying to block out
her negative thoughts.
She was terrified, but she couldn't tell anybody.
She closed her eyes praying to God to keep her Soniya safe.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and she slowly looked back, scared it might be Dev.
"Hey" said Sid
She took a deep breath.
"Sidharth I'm not in the mood for your wise cracks please."
She got up and started to walk towards the lake.
"Roshni wait, where are you going" Sidharth asked
"Nowhere" she said folding her arms as she walked.
"What a coincidence, I'm going nowhere too, so I'll come with you".
The comment was so ridiculous, that Roshni burst out laughing.
Sidharth was totally mesmerised by her. Her laughter made his heart flutter.
"God she looks so beautiful when she laughs" he said under his breath
"Your crazy Cranky Pants"
"Only for you Baby".
Roshni rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Phir shuru hogaye" and started to walk again.
She shivered in a cool breeze, and before she knew it, Sid pulled off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
It was warm from his body, and smelling like him, fresh and clean and a hint of aftershave.
Roshni breathed it in, suddenly feeling safer with him around.
She looked at him and thought
"I wish he wasn't cranky pants"
As she walked she tripped over a small rock.
"Don't worry I got you Roshni" Sidharth said as he caught her from falling.
"Thanks" she whispered and glanced up at Sidharth shyly.
Sidharth was struck dumb all over again, just by the sight of her. His heart beat was skittering, his whole body felt alive.
There's nowhere else in the world he'd rather be.
Roshni cheeks began to blush
"Sidharth you can let go now, I'm okay"
Sidharth straightened her and let go.
Roshni began to walk, looking at her phone, worried and tensed that Dev might call again.
Sidharth noticed this, and tried to divert her mind away from Dev.
"So what's your favourite ice-cream flavour"
She looked at him,
"Why do want to know? "
"Chocolate fudge right...you used to eat it every day after school"
Roshni looked at him
"Impressive, you remember"
"I remember everything Roshni.."
Roshni gulped and looked at him. He seemed so innocent. Her thoughts began to wonder
"Has he changed. ..does he really care about me"
Roshni sat down beside the lake, and Sid sat down beside her.
Her eyes blazed in the moonlight, and the shimmery light, cast across her face...she looked so Angelic. ..she was perfect.
"She's all I want.
She's means everything to me .
I'll never let anyone hurt you Roshni" he promised himself.
Sidharth breathed softly, and reached out to brush his hand gently across her cheeks.
He couldn't help it. Just one touch, that's all he needed, one touch of that perfect skin under his fingertips. She was driving him insane.
Roshni did not move away. She just gazed at him. Wordless.
Her eyes seemed to ask a million questions, for which he wished he had the answers to.
His heart thundered. Slowly he traced his thumb across the outline of her jaw, cupping her cheek in his palm.
It fitted perfectly, like his hand was made just for her.
She trembled under his touch, and it send a shock through his veins.
"How does she do this to me, with just one touch" thought Sid.
He stroked her face softly; memorising every inch.
Every inch of her skin, so sweet. Every flicker of
her eye drove him crazy.
Slowly he slid his finger to her lower lip. Suddenly Roshni gasped, her eyes widening.
It took every ounce of his self control in his body to stop right there, and not kiss her.
Sid held back, lowering his hand.
He looked at her desperately, searching in her eyes, if she had felt the same as him, when he had touched her.
When Sidharth had lowered his hand, Roshni missed his touch. It felt good against her skin. It made her feel safe.
"Are you okay, Roshni. I know you were tense a while ago. I hope you feel relaxed now" Sid said in his caring voice.
"I'm better Sidharth"
Unknowingly, Roshni reached out and touched his face. She stroked a strand of hair that had fallen out of place.
Sidharth could feel a spark of electricity spark through him.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, she hugged him tight, as of her life depended on it.
Her body trembled against his. Sidharth put
his arms around her waist and held her tight.
"I'm always here for you Roshni. You're safe with me.. I'll never let anything happen to you...never"
She found comfort in his arms. She wanted to believe every word he said. She felt safe.
She felt a connection.
They hugged each other for a while. Oblivious to their surroundings.
"I'll always protect you Roshni. ..always"
Suddenly she opened her eyes and pulled away.
"What's happening to me. I don't understand. Why do i feel safe in his arms. When I'm with him I forget all my sorrows...what effect does cranky pants have on me ." Her thoughts confused her.
She stood up
"Sidharth it's getting late, I think we should go back"
Slowly they walked back to the campsite. Not a word was uttered, as they walked. Sid could not help but smile. That was the first
time she had reached out to him.
