Roli was afraid.
Slow it started raining with Thunder and lightening.
Roli was unable to understand what to do.
Roli was feeling like crying. Her face turned pale.
Roli: Siddhantji...Siddhantji...
Sid was coming up in the stairs and heard Roli's voice calling him.
Sid hurried to the floor where Roli is.
Sid: Roli...
Roli turned immediate hearing Sid's voice of calling her name.
Roli saw Sid coming towards her from the otherside of the floor.
Roli got no time to think of anything.
ROli ran towards him and hug him tightly and started crying.
Sid was shocked on Roli's hug.
Sid was unable to understand, what happend to her and why is she crying.
Roli: Where were you? Do you know how much I was afraid? Where you went leaving me like this?
Roli was crying.
Sid understood that Roli got afraid.
Sid: ROli, Relax... I just went down to get some water for us. where can i go leaving you ROli?
Roli's hands were holding Sid around his waist tightly whereas Sid does not touch to hug her as he was afraid she may mistake him.
Slowly Roli realised that she is hugging Sid and removed her hands around SId.
Roli lift her face and look at Sid. But she was unable to face him.
Roli: SOrry, I got afraid a lot all alone and that why...
Sid: Its ok Roli. I understood that you got afraid. Lets go inside as it is already raining outside.
Roli & Sid went inside the classroom.
Roli & Sid sit beside each other.
Sid: ROli, are you afraid of being alone.
Roli: Yes. I never been alone in the night. I used to be with my didi only. That too this place is very big and the surrounding is frightening me.
Sid: Sorry Roli, I was not knowing that. Otherwise I might have not left you alone in the room. Drink some water.
Sid gave the water bottle to her to have some water.
Roli was little relaxed now.
Sid: ROli, Ok i will be here only. You can sleep now without any fear. You can believe me I will not do any harm to you.
Roli smiled & nod her head.
Roli; Siddhantji, you too take rest.
Sid: Will do Roli. But after some time.
Roli: In the fear, my sleep too went away.
Sid: THen its ok. We will talk with each other for sometime till we feel asleep.
Roli: Ok.
Sid was looking at Roli & Roli blushed.
SId: Roli Shall I tell you something
Roli: Yes tell me.
Sid: ' I Love You Roli'
Roli tried to open her month to reply something when Sid interrupted.
Sid: ROli, please dont reply anything now. Let it be positive or negative reply.
Roli: WHy it is so?
Sid: Roli, I want to tell you that I started Loving you from 1st day itself. Which I later realised. But still I am loving you since long. But as there was misunderstand between us in initial days, got no chance to tell you. Now after long time, i confirmed myself on my love and conveyed you. Now I am not sure what you feel about me. I need to give you time. You please take your time. My birthday is coming after 3 months. These 3 months I give you to think well and decide. Please let me know your answer as my birthday gift. I hope & pray that answer to be positive. Till such time, I do Love you and you are my lover without any doubt. But I dont want your answer till my birthday as I want to enjoy this stage of one sided love for these 3 months.
ROli: Siddhantji, you are very different. All boys tries to get the result immediate, but you are giving time of 3 months to know the result.
Sid: ROli, you dont know how much beautiful that suspense will be. I want to enjoy that.
Roli smiled & nod her head as acceptance...
