THE CELEBRITY - PART 28

An original story by Archana Vinod

TWO WEEKS LATER

Things are back to normal now. Days pass on uneventfully. Siddhant is back on his feet, plaster removed, normal stride... everything fine. The bruises have disappeared from their faces. There's nothing left except for a slight discoloration.

THE TERRACE - MORNING

Roli enters with a bucket of washed laundry and finds Siddhant on the terrace, exercising. He is all red and sweaty as he does his fifth set of standing hip extensions.

"How are you feeling now?" asks Roli as she begins to hang the clothes on the line.

"In the pink Roli," he replies a little breathlessly as he continues to exercise, "these sets are amazing. Initially, when the therapist got me to do these exercises, it was really hard because my leg felt different after the injury - painful and wobbly. But now I feel stronger."

"That's good," remarks Roli, still busy with the clothes. She admires her husband's physique as he works out a sweat. Hmm, he looks really good when in action, she thinks with a smile.

Siddhant just finishes up with a set of push-ups and gets onto his feet. He flexes his biceps as he admires his bulging muscles. "Whew!" he whistles, "looking good na?"

"Hmm," smiles Roli.

"Just wait and watch," smirks Siddhant, "I'll build a really good body. Just see!"

"Hmm," Roli can't help it but smile, as if it isn't great already! She starts to blush too. "What happens next?"

"After that..." he grabs her by the waist and pulls her towards him, "dish-dish-bing-bing."

"What dish-dish-bing-bing'?" Roli laughs. Siddhant is surely in a good mood this morning. "Arrey leave me na, mad or what? Someone will see!"

"Let them see," he says in a sexy voice, "then they'll also go and do dish-dish-bing-bing."

"Siddhantji! Crazy fellow! Stop it na!" Roli laughs and blushes like crazy as he snuggles her.

Suddenly, someone coughs. "Hey Matarani! It's Akram Bhai!" Roli hisses.

In an instant, Siddhant leaves Roli as if he got a 200 volt electric shock. He is so red in the face now.

Sure enough, Akram Bhai, their neighbor smiles at them from his terrace. Roli quickly resumes her cloth hanging business. "Beautiful morning, isn't it Siddhant?" he asks with an I know what you were doing' smile.

"Yeah, awesome," grins Siddhant awkwardly. He's super embarrassed now.

"Going down now Sid," says Akram with a wink, "see you later."

Siddhant nods. As soon as Akram leaves, Siddhant slaps his forehead. Roli bursts out laughing.

"What?" snaps Siddhant, "what's so funny?"

"Oh my God!" she gasps in laughter, "just look at your face!"

"What's wrong with my face?"

"Hahahahaha! Oh my God!" Roli is almost on her knees now. She can't breathe.

"Oye! Stop it, okay?" he smiles as he gets closer to her, "see how that bugger ran downstairs? He was in such a hurry."

"Hahahahahaha!" Roli can't stop laughing, "He must have gone for work."

Siddhant pulls her towards him again. "No he didn't. He must be enjoying now," he says seductively.

"Haan, haan," laughs Roli sarcastically.

She looks so cute when she's teasing me, thinks Siddhant. I just want to hit her. "Ohhh! Roli tu bhi na, seriously, I'll hit you properly," he playfully punches her on the face. Roli laughs shyly.

Just then, someone rings the doorbell downstairs. "Roli Bharadwaj!"

"What's that?" says Roli surprised, "did someone just call me? Let me just go and check."

"Someone else will check that out," says Siddhant impatiently.

But just then, Mataji calls her. "Roliii!"

"Arrey Siddhantji, leave me na," she tries to break free, "Mataji is calling."

"Tell her to go and sleep," says Siddhant seductively.

"Roliii!" Mataji calls again.

"Uffoh! Siddhantji, seriously!" she pinches him in the stomach.

"Ouch!" He lets her go in an instant. Roli grabs the opportunity and takes to her heels.

In a minute, she is downstairs. "Where were you beta?" asks Mataji.

"Upstairs Mataji, hanging the clothes to dry," she replies.

"There's one courier guy at the door, just check what it is," she says.

"Okay Mataji."

She hurries to the front door. And sure enough, a delivery boy waits for her with a gift wrapped package. "Roli Bharadwaj?"

"Haan, that's me," she replies puzzled. What could it be? And that too wrapped like a present?

"Sign here please," he says as he extends a chart. She signs against her name all the while wondering who could have sent this to her.

"Who's it from?" she asks. But the delivery boy has already left.

What could it be, she wonders as she begins to tear it open. Siddhant is downstairs now. "What's that?" he asks.

"I don't know," she replies as she sits down and tears apart the wrapper to reveal a box wrapped in a sheet of bubble wrap.

"Who sent it? Any details?" enquires Siddhant curiously.

"No, nothing..."

By now, the entire family has gathered around, curious what it could be. "What's that beta?" enquires Sujata maa.

"No idea Maaji," she replies. By now, the bubble wrap has been removed. It's an iPad. Roli's eyes bulge out in astonishment. "Hey Matarani!" she gasps.

"Arrey wah!" barks Siddhant, "splendid! And that too the latest model! You entered some contest or what?"

"No... why should I ent---" her words trail to a stop as she notices a beautiful card on the box. It says: "Nothing compares to you, my dearest Sherni. You are one in a million. I wish you'd live with me for a thousand birthdays! Happy Birthday! Love you lots. Your one and only Siddhant... MUAH!!!"

Roli slowly looks up at Siddhant, her eyes like gooseberries. She is speechless. Siddhant smiles and winks at her. "How's it?"

Roli is dumbfounded as her family breaks into song. "Happy Birthday to youuu! Happy Birthday to youuu! Happy birthday dear Roli... Happy birthday to youuu!"

Simar appears in between them with a beautiful cake. "Happy birthday dear!"

Roli slowly gets up, she has no idea what to say. "I-I forgot," she stammers, "...that it was my birthday today." She is very touched by the love and care showed by her family today.

"Stop acting Roli," says Siddhant as he moves closer to her, "and blow out the candles. I can't wait anymore."

She turns to look at his smiling face. She is so moved by the gift, the surprise, the attention. "Siddhantji, you idiot," she stammers and throws her arms around him. "I love you yaar," she whispers in his ear.

The family laughs and applauds. Siddhant laughs as he hugs her. "I love you too yaar," he says quietly.

"Okay, cake time now!" exclaims Shailu anxiously.

Roli blows out the candles and cuts the cake to her family's applause. One by one, she starts handing out a bite of the creamy, chocolate cake.

It's Siddhant's turn now. Roli is all smiles as she gives him a piece. He takes a large bite and bites her fingers in the process. "Ouch!" she pulls her hand back. He smirks as he wipes the cream off his face. "Mmm, it's good," he grins.

The rest of the day is rather special as Roli gets showered with wishes and attention from her family. Akram Bhai was right, she thinks with a glowing smile, today is indeed a beautiful day.
