The voice queried again about their presence but Riddhima continued to remain oblivious of her surrounding till Sid sought her attention to the man questioning their presence.
She quickly replied looking in the direction of the voice 'Main hoon ... Dr Riddhima third floor ki nayi tenant'
'Aap theek toh hai?' man asked
She turned and looked at Sid for a moment and then in the direction of the voice 'Haan sab theek hai'
Sid and Riddhima waited there as they heard door bolts clicking and the man seemed to be retiring for the night assured that there was no threat lurking around anymore.
Riddhima once again turned to look at Sid as her heart resounded her thoughts 'Ab sab theek hi hoga'
Sid who was watching intently in the direction of the man's voice felt as he heard Riddhima say something ... or was it his imagination. He turned to face Riddhima flashing the mobile backlight on her face 'Tumne kuch kaha?'
Sid waited for her to answer as the mobile backlight dimmed to finally go out. Riddhima could still feel Sid's eyes on her trying to read her mind. A warm smile spread over Riddhima's face. She kept looking in Sid's direction feeling immense joy. Sid clicked the mobile and flashed it on Riddhima 'Tumne kuch kaha?'
Riddhima: 'Nahi ... kuch nahi'
Sid: Chale
Riddhima turned and started ascending the stairs with Sid flashing the light on the steps for Riddhima to see them.
=====================================================
Riddhima looked on as Sid fidgeted with the lock with one hand while holding his mobile in the other refusing to take her help. She could not help herself, her thoughts automatically drifted towards the beautiful moments they had once shared.
How stubborn he was, she wondered remembering the innumerable times when he tried to free himself away from her bangle or her duppata. But he never could manage. He was always remained tied to her from the very day they got married and even today they were somewhere tied to each other. How much ever they denied there was something that pulled them towards each other.
Sid: Finally... Heaved a sign of relief throwing open the door to Riddhima's house
Riddhima snapped out of her thoughts and entered the living room of her apartment
It was her house yet she did not feel it more than it felt today. Was it because Sid had come home for the first time? Maybe? She looked around as the mobile backlight seemed to scan its surrounding. What she should do now? 'Think Riddhima ... think!!!' she urged herself
Sid on the hand stood nervously in her apartment wondering what to do next. One look at his direction and she gauged his nervousness. She immediately offered him to take a seat
Sid: Nahi its ok you sit ...flashing the light towards a sofa nearby... I will go find candles. Are any at home?
Riddhima: Nahi tum baito ...main dekhti hoon ...
Sid: Nahi tum baito main dekhta hoon ... bahoot andhera hai ... waise bhi tumhe andhere se darr lagta hai ... main hi dekhta hoon ...
Riddhima's protests drowned in Sid's insistence soon and she settled on the sofa while Sid went off to search for candles.
It was not his house yet he found himself moving around freely as he would have in their penthouse. The thought alarmed Sid. This was not their penthouse. He was referring to Riddhima just by her name. How could he behave so casually? Such behaviour was completely inappropriate. He needed to get hold of himself. He should be making her comfortable in her house and moving out asap. Yes that is what was needed of him. That was the only thing that was needed off him. Determined he set himself to task of finding candles. He searched his way to the kitchen knowing that Riddhima used to stock such things in the kitchen cabinets normally.
Riddhima could hear Sid opening and shutting drawers and cabinets as she nervously waited in the pitch dark living room. Like always Sid had taken upon himself to make her comfortable, that too in her home. Her home, she was supposed to play the host. But this unusual circumstance brought him to her home. But that's what they were all about two people brought together by destiny under unusual circumstances and also separated by. Why did all those things have to happen? Every time they wanted to settle down something used to happen that pulled them apart from each other only to be brought back by another act of destiny. This evening it was nothing but an act of destiny that they were together after 10 long years. She almost found herself thanking the fateful moment when the black out happened. If not for that Sid would not be here with her.
Sid could not find the candles anywhere in the kitchen. As he opened the last drawer he called out to Riddhima 'Yaha nahi hai ... last drawer check kar raha hoon ... bedroom mein rakha hai kya?'
Riddhima racked her brains trying to remember where she had kept the candles 'Bedroom' ... maybe ...shayaad'
'Main dekhta hoon' Sid replied
Something triggered an alarm in Riddhima 'Bedroom ... Nahi ...Photoframe Oh Lord agar Sid ne dekh li toh ... Nahi mujhe usse rokna hoga'
She instinctively screamed 'Nahi waha mat jaana'. She had to stop Sid before he noticed anything there. She got and started moving towards the bedroom but landed up almost walking into the side table and letting out a scream
Hearing her scream Sid rushed back to the living room leaving the last drawer he was checking open
'Kya hua tum theek toh ho'
Riddhima had grazed her knee against a sharp corner. Seeing her in pain alarmed Sid He could never handle any harm coming to her and his temper flew immediately 'Tum ek minute shanti se bait nahi sakti ... lag gayi na ... how can you be so careless... ek toh light nahi hai aur tum ...chalo ab waha chalo ... ...'
Riddhima listened to Sid scold her for her carelessness. Her eyes welled up. They were tears of joy. She found immense pleasure listening to Sid shout at her authoritatively for the first time. He never did that ever. Somehow it really did not matter how much her knee hurt. She was so lost in his words that she did not even realise when Sid guided her back to the sofa and seated her there.
'Tum baito yaha pe main candles doondh ke aata hoon...I think I saw some in the last drawer I opened'
He quickly went back to the kitchen to check the last drawer. Fortunately or unfortunately he found a box of 6 candles. He lit one and carried the remaining pack back to the living room.
'Mil gaye kitchen main hi ...' placing the candle on a makeshift stand he had made out of a half broken saucer he found in the kitchen.
'Thank you ...'
Sid: Iss main thank you ki kya baat hai ... no issues...
The awkward silence had started to spread in the air again. The knee seemed to hurt a lot Sid did not know what to do should he offer help After all he was a doctor, he would be just doing his job nothing else. Maybe he should. 'Bahoot pain ho raha hai...?'
Riddhima could not miss the concern in his voice. He was always like She just nodded her head not knowing herself whether it was a yes or a no. Sid confused looked on not understanding what she meant. He might as well try again to make sure that injury was not too bad.
Sid: Main dekhu kya...? he asked hesitantly wondering how it might sound to her. He had helped previously also as a doctor and he had also seen her in the state of total undress. It was of Riddhima's free will. But those days were different. Today she was someone else's ... He did not could complete that statement.
Here it was just a matter of examining the wound on the knee. But still it felt weird. Even checking her in the capacity of a doctor it felt weird. Though he asked her if she wanted help he stood rooted to his spot nervously looking around.
The thought Sid possible touch and proximity steered something in her heart after ages. Those feelings which she thought had died in her That evening when she had seen Sid and Juhi together she refused to believe them and this evening she did not want to accept. It was not right Sid would not like it One look at him confirmed her belief. His discomfort was clearly visible. She plainly refused killing the urge to take his help even if it was in the capacity of a doctor. It was not that she did not trust him. She just did not trust herself. She had more reason to not to there was too much proof history could possibly provide that she should not trust herself.
'Nahi it's ok ... I will manage ... I will just come ...' She quickly got up and made way to her bedroom.
Sid waited in living room for Riddhima to finish dressing her wound and changing Time was passing very slowly Sid could not understand that his anxiety was triggered by being in Riddhima's house or not knowing how bad was Riddhima's injury Having seen her limp towards her bedroom had urged him to help her but something inside in stopped him Maybe the fact that she might misunderstand his help as a ploy to get close or more so trespass on her bedroom
Whatever it was now Riddhima was in the safety of her home which was what he wanted He decided to leave as soon as she came out deliberately waiting back seemed completely unwarranted to him
Here Riddhima wondered what Sid would be thinking; wait or leave? Somewhere deep down in her heart she wanted him to stay Maybe because this was the last time they would met they would get to speak To know about him He was due to leave India soon But she should not hope for it. It would be best if he left Staying back would only add his discomfort which bothered her What was the point of subjecting him to more pain than what she had already done Making up her mind she quickly got ready
When she limped back into the living room she found Sid was browsing through a medical journal
Medical journals were the last thing she ever saw in his hands when they lived together But that was so long ago This was no more the Sid she had known lively smiling full of life One who had taught her to smile again It pained her to see the damage she had done
'Tumhare liye kuch lao' Riddhima asked to seek his attention
Sid: Nahi I am ok
Silence once again enveloped the room
They both waited for the other to say something Sid saw Riddhima nervously standing there playing with her duppata
Sid: Baito na
Riddhima: Huh!!! Haan
'How stupid of me asking her to sit in her own house I guess I am making her uncomfortable maybe I should leave' Sid chided himself.
As Riddhima limped towards the sofa Sid suddenly announced much to Riddhima's disappointment 'Main chalta hoon'
Riddhima felt like something die in her. She could only get herself to nod to accept Sid's decision.
