Part 19Siddhant was very busy in some office work when ROli rushed to him with that news.
ROli: Siddhantji, you know there is contest of Jodi No 1 and I have given our name to participate in that.
SId: Contest WHere?
Roli: In our area towards New Year.
SId: For that you have given our name.
Roli: Yes.
Sid: Roli are you joking. Our name for Jodi No. 1. Please..
Roli: What joking. I am very serious. I have given our name.
Sid: Oh GOd ROli! What we know about each other to participate in that contest.
Roli: Who said we need to pariticipate only we know about each other. There is no such condition.
Sid: Then what are the conditions.
Roli: One & Only condition is to be pair and we are. Are we not?
Sid: Very funny ROli! We are couple for outer world. But think yourself are we intimate pair who knows about each other well.
ROli: Siddhantji, I do agree we are not intimate pairs. So what.
SId: ROli, Please i got some urgent work. I dont have time to argue. Just cancel our name from the contest.
ROli: But Why Siddhantji? Ok did you ever seen the programs. Though so many couples tells them as intimate do fail to answer correctly and lose the game. In the same way let us atleast particiate. No compeltion that we need to win.
Sid: Really. You have gone mad. THe contest is in our area and everyone will come to know about us.
Roli: Oh Siddhantji! What other know? Please dont deny to participate. Let us lose the contest no problem. But i atleast wish to participate.
Sid: Roli you are adamant like a kid. Ok. I will accept for your sake. But i am not sure how we are going to handle it.
Roli: Dont worry. Everything will be fine only.
Sid: Please take care none of our family members or neighbours attend it. So that they dont know about us.
Roli: Siddhantji, the contest is in our area & how can we restrict our family members & neighbours too. How can i stop them from coming? Are you joking.
Sid: Roli, i am not joking. We are going to become joker on that day for sure.
Roli: Lets see.
Sid accepted for the sake of Roli to participate in the contest.
Unfortunate to Sid's thoughts the stage was set very near to Sid's house itself.
All the Bharatwaj house family memebrs and neighbours were in the front row of the contest to see ROSID participating the competition.
ROSID were still in their room.
SId was completely tensed.
Sid: ROli, even now nothing is spoiled. Tell them that we are not participating.
Roli: Oh Siddhantji! Please come naa.
Sid: ROli, you too naa.
ROli: Yes I too. Please come now. Everyone is waiting for us.
Sid: That is the problem ROli.
Roli: Nothing is problem Siddhantji. Please Come.
Roli pulled Sid to the place and Sid with much hesitation get into the stage of the contest.
There were few more pairs too probably from same area but not familiar to SId's family.
All the 5 pairs participating were on the stage.
Other than ROSID all other pairs were on full confidence that they will win the contest and were standing close and talking to each other and smiling.
Siddhant was standing tensed looking at ROli as if asking why put him in such awkward position while ROli tried to convince him nothing will happen.
The contest started with a welcome note by the organisers.
Rules & regulations were read out
Judges were sitting in their big chairs in the first row of the audience.
The first round was announced to be just have cat walk with their pair.
All the pairs went behind the screen and one by one started walking holding the hands of the pair.
ROSID were standing in the last.
Judges were putting the mark for all the pairs one by one.
Roli: Siddhantji, dont show your tension face like this. Just relax. We are only going to walk.
SId: Roli, you know i did won in my college doing ramp walk as best male model.
Roli: Really.
SId: Yes. What are you thinking about me.
Roli: Then show that talent here and try to walk equal to me and see how much we are able to get in the mark as walking as a pair.
When ROSID turn came, they interlink their hands and started their walk, after coming to the middle of the stage facing the audience, to Roli's surprise Siddhant shifted here from left side to right side and hold her elegantly on the other side and their walk continued.
The audience gave huge claps for ROSID pair and judges too gave nice marks to them more than other 4 contestants.
Roli herself was surprised and asked SId.
Roli: Siddhantji, you never told me you are going to shift the side. I might have fallen.
Sid: ROli, if i might have told you, you might have fallen for sure. As i did suddenly you hold my hands in fear and i too hold you. Thats why it was looking good.
ROSID smiled looking at each other and they passed the 1st round successfully...
