PART 2-b
"What do you mean by that Roli? Explain the closeness? ' asks Siddhant as he is fully perplexed by her strange behavior. "You won't understand it even if I explain crystal clear to you Siddhantji or probably you don't even want to...' says Roli as she sits on their bed sobbing. "Roli...please...please stop crying and tell me what's wrong? Please...' requests Sid as he sits on his knees in front of her. "What should I tell you haan? That I'm so heartbroken because I saw you ...Saw you romancing that girl Lara...' mumbles Roli in a voice blocked by painful tears. Sid furrows his brows in confusion for a few seconds and then bursts in to loud peals of laughter. "Roli...Are you serious???? That was just a photoshoot...Oh my gawwd..So you were drowning the whole house in the ganga river of your tears for this silly matter? You're so funny Roli!!!' he comments as he continues to laugh at her. But Roli definitely doesn't find this funny. This happens often when she's up with something serious; he ends up laughing at her. Many times she had enjoyed this witty nature of his and his funny expressions when he tries to control his laughter, but not this time. This time the matter is serious. She mean it; it is damn so SERIOUS. "Do you feel like laughing seeing my plight? How much more insensitive will you prove yourself???'' she cries as she grabs his shirt again. Sid no longer feels like laughing now; seems that she is way too serious. "And why won't you laugh at me????I'm just a stupid laughing stock for you...' mumbles her as she continues to cry. "Roli!!!! What are blurting out yaar???It's not like that...' says Sid as he tries to pacify her. "It's like that only!!!! IT'S LIKE THAT ONLY!!!!' shouts Roli as she gets on her feet. Sid too gets up and comes near her. "Roli...why're you making all these unnecessary mess yaar? Just because I did a simple photoshoot with Lara?' ask him holding her shoulders. Roli looks as angrily at him now. "Simple photoshoot???So all these are simple for you? hugging a girl...being close to her..And...I'm just ashamed of even saying all that...' says Roli as she looks away in disgust after shoving off his hand. "I don't really understand what's so much in that photoshoot to be so ashamed of? I can't see a thing...' says Sid as he begins to feel slightly irritated on her accusations. Roli feels so much angry now. First he did wrong and on top of that he's trying to make silly excuses to cover his fault, she thinks. She moves so the bed and takes the phone opening the video again. "So you don't feel anything wrong in these?' asks her as she shows him the video. "Of course not!!! What can be so wrong in it? It's my job...my passion...It can't be wrong for me...' says Sid as his tone begins to rise. ya..It can't be wrong for you...why would it even be wrong for you? May be you're enjoying doing all this???? Being close with that girl?' asks Roli as her temper also builds up like never before. Sid's fists naturally curl up in anger as he hears her. He can swear that if it was someone else in Roli's place now; he would have knocked out their jaw by now. But with Roli he can't be that harsh; he loves her over everything after all. "Roli..Don't take the matter from somewhere to somewhere else...I'm not interested to be close with any other girl other than you..Do you get it?? All these; it's just my profession..Ya, we're close in the clicks...but once it's done we move apart...We don't stay like that for a lifetime...' says Sid in a harsh tone clearly irritated. "Oh...is it?' questions Roli in a mocking tone and works on the phone again. "So is this also a part of photoshoot? As far as I know, in this interview you're yourself and there is no need for that girl to ruffle your hair and for you to stick to her...' says Roli as she shows him the interview on his phone. Sid nearly loses his control over her continues arguments but still composes himself. "Roli..We weren't sticking to each other..She's just friendly with me..We've worked a whole project together ...So it's quite obvious that we have some freedom with each other...' explains Sid. "Acchaa...So all these are friendly gestures to you??? Well...i haven't seen any such gestures I my place...' says Roli, her hands crossed. Now Sid really loses it. He just has to stop her before she goes too far with her silly possessiveness and doubts. "How would you even see that? You were born and brought up in a tiny village where even husband and wife hesitate to hold each other's hand before public...Where a mere hand shake between a girl and a boy means they are having a romantic affair...' bawls Sid. "Oh really?? then why did you even marry me? I didn't ask you to do so? it was totally your discretion...' says her, so hurt with his outburst. "Roli!!!! Stop it!! Don't go too far...' says Sid again trying to hold on to his calm side. "I can understand everything Siddhantji...everything...maybe I'm not fit for you...may be you don't really love me the way you used to... this photoshoot...this interview...Above all that , hiding all these from me; I can definitely understand what's going on...' cries Roli. "Roli...there's nothing like you concoct... I wasn't hiding from you..it was just that I wanted to give you a surprise...You know we did this photoshoot for an international magazine..You know how big it is...I was really excited to share this news with you...See, I even brought your favorite sweets to share my happiness with you in a sweet way...but here you're, making unnecessary issues to destroy the peace of our relationship...' accuses Sid. Now this gets Roli much angrier. "Yes!!! I make issues...I do concoct...and here your sweet...I don't need it..go...celebrate your happiness with your so called friend..Lara...' says Roli as she picks up the sweet box and throws it the floor. "Roli!!!!!' Sid shouts as his hand unknowingly rise to slap her but stops in realization. "There's a limit for everything!!!Don't cross it..I say you; it won't be good for both of us...' he warns. Roli looks up at him all teary, realizing with extreme sadness that her once loving husband almost slapped her. Sid just turns against her with an angry face, and not wanting to talk more, goes out leaving Roli in her solitude
