PART 69
In the evening, Sid went to prem...seeing Sid, prem chortled instantly thinking what he saw in ROSID's room a while back...
Sid- why u r giggling at me now?
Prem- no Sid, nothing!!!...sit,,where is Roli? is she alone?
Sid- no, she got up from sleep just now...she went down to sit with others for some time...& that's y I came here to talk with u..
Prem- what happened? Anything serious?..
Sid- not yet...i want your help to set back everything prem..!
Prem- sure!!
They had an important discussion for nearly half an hour, conceiving a plan to implement the next day...
the morning made its way through the window into ROSID's room...Roli got awaken & as usually spread her hand to touch Sid, but was shocked as she couldn't feel his presence in the bed...she wide opened her eyes but found him nowhere...she got tensed...just then, Sid came out from bathroom taking a shower...he looked at Roli & sharing a smile with her, went towards the mirror...
Sid- (seeing Roli through the mirror)Good morning dear... what happened? Looking tensed!!
Roli rushed to him without replying to him & hugged from back...Sid took her hands which were lying on his chest & kissed...he felt her heavy heart beats on his back...he turned to her, looking at her worried face...
Sid- got tensed seeing me nowhere?
Roli just kept mum, while her eyes spoke the worry..Sid pecked her lips ...
Sid- ok, just leave it...go & get ready...we'll have breakfast...
Roli smiled to him & went inside bathroom...Sid looked at her way, & taking a shallow breath,
Sid- sorry Roli, today I've to hurt you...(gritting his teeth )I know that I'm doing a mistake with all my senses...but...but still, there's no other solution to get u back...pls forgive me ROLI!!
ROSID had their breakfast with others & after some small talks, they returned to their room...Sid took his laptop to check his mails...Roli went to cupboard to stack up her clothes...that's when she found her platinum chain gifted by Sid on that pleasant morning,which was kept protected under his clothes...she grabbed the box, with her heart fluttering inside...Sid saw her who was standing in the same posture from so long without any movement. He kept his laptop aside & while reaching her, he understood what she was looking at.. he huddled her from back, touching her shoulder with his chin...he knew that she was in tears...he tightened his hug & kissed on her cheek, making her to lean onto him...they closed their eyes while Roli felt his lips still stamping her face & neck...few minutes later, when Roli opened her eyes, found that she was wearing the chain...she caressed it & with a smile turned to him who was waiting for her reaction...she remembered the day when Sid wore that chain in a similar way, without her knowledge...she hugged him warmly...
Sid- Roli..
Roli- mmm!!?
Sid- may i know y this chain was put off your neck all these days?
She was silent as she very well got connected to his question...
Sid- u might be knowing it very well how u lost this..! (making her to look at him) do u want to tell something?
Looking down, Roli nodded with a NO sign, as usually restricting herself to unveil the reason for her tears...
Sid- (kissing on her eyes)it's ok..no need to tell me anything...I can read from ur eyes...leave it...it's time to rest ...I've got some work with prem...I'll b in living room...don't get tensed..ok!!
Roli smiled to him as reply, wiping her tears...Sid along with his laptop came out of their room, but before he could take his next step, which is very crucial, looked at Roli, conveying a sorry for his incongruous attempt that hurts her ,again...
After an hour, Roli came down to help simar in preparing lunch...while chopping the vegetables, she found that there was none in living room...Sid was here a while before when she saw him ...she dropped her work in the middle there itself, though Sid assured her not to get tensed...but how she can stay calm when she can't live without getting a glance of him at least for every second, after all knowing about the danger that is shadowing them?...she ran into the living room, in one go...she took some courage out of her reeling fear & had a second thought to check in premar's room...she rushed there, running all the way hurriedly...her fear got doubled when she found only prem inside the room...she inquired prem about Sid with wet eyes...
Prem- I found him going towards your room only after finishing our discussions...where he can go otherwise...He'll b here somewhere Roli ...don't worry...
Prem replied very casually ...
Roli went to their room to check once again, but he was not there...her eyes started to well up, frantically...she took fast steps towards the terrace...but was shocked with his absence even there...she wept dreadfully, calling out his name as she ran searching for him in each floor...
Roli- SIDDANTHJI...SIDDANTHJI...where r u?
Everyone came out of their rooms listening to her cries...simar who was in kitchen got worried ...she went to Roli who was descending the steps hastily with teary reddened face...
Simar(wiping Roli's tears)- Roli,,what's this? Why r u crying?...
But she has no time to reply her...she has to search her Sid...she has to see him...she scanned all the rooms in the ground floor too...but found him nowhere...she immediately took her mobile & called him...but she was shocked once again when she found his mobile ringing there itself in the couch, saying that he didn't carried it with him... she is terribly frightened now & was sweating all over ...she felt weak... she knows that her Sid can't stay still even after hearing her weeps & seeing her tears... she doubts that he's not inside...she runs towards entrance & on the double, she went out ...the backyard, lawn, garden, every place has shown his absence...she was at point to breakdown ...simar rushed to hold her ...
Before simar could take her inside, Roli got collapsed over simar...all got worried...prem with help of simar made her to rest on couch while sujatha, with a glass of water, scurried to her & sprinkled a fistful of water on her face...
Roli was mumbling in her subconscious sleep...
Roli- Siddanthji... ...
Prem looked at simar gesturing to handle Roli ...after a while, Roli opened her eyes ...she held simar's hand that was on her,
Roli- didi,,,Siddanthji?
Simar- Roli, pls stay calm...we r going to find him!!
One hour went the same...simar & sujatha tried their best to handle Roli who didn't stop crying nor uttering SID's name...prem called up his father & brothers to let him know if they find SID in office...sankalp upon prem's telling, tried asking whether SID is with his friends by any chance...but none got to know abt their brother...
Roli took this time to build imaginations based upon her dreadful fears...it's happening just like how that savage has alerted her...
Roli clasped simar's arm which is holding her hand...
Roli- I cannot live without him didi...i cannot imag---
ROLI, concluding abruptly, got up gathering her feeble strengths which alone left in her...When she was staring into the space absentmindedly due to the heavy blows hitting her heart one by one, her eyes stopped at the dining table...she walked towards it & forwarded her hand to get hold of an utility knife...she brought it in contact to her wrist, but she felt a push by simar who was following & watching her from behind...but Roli is not in astate to step back...she just jerked her hand from simar's hold & again freed herself... This time before any others could reach her, she raised her hand in air...she tightly closed her eyes & slashed her wrist...
ROLI was expecting to suffer a piercing pain physically, but nothing such happened when she felt someone holding her arm forcibly making her to unhand the knife...she briskly opened her eyes feeling his touch...yes, it was him...
Roli- (sobbing with tears)Siddanthji !!...
She buried her face into his chest...she dropped the knife & huddled to him by holding around his neck...
Mataji irately took her steps to SID who was trying to console grief-stricken ROLI...
Mataji- (baring her teeth) Siddanth, where have u been all this time when ROLI was crying out for u desperately?
Roli stepped back with tears still flowing down her cheeks while Sid downed his head, looking away...
Prem was trying to seek out a plan before it could outburst into another unforeseen mess...but nothing seems to work out for now...
Sid- I'm sorry mataji ...I ...I was here only...in store room!!!
Roli who was engulfed in fear of losing him until now, raised her head & glared at SID furiously ... She slowly removed her hand which was gripped around his arm...all others except prem, SID's partner, were staring at SID, unbelievingly...
SID met ROLI's eyes which kept boring into his ...
mataji pulled SID to face her & waved her hand to slap SID for his illogical act...but her urbane elderliness knocked her stop to slap her grown up grandson...she took back her hand & looked at SID who was holding his breath...Roli's eyes were still fixed on him & she tried to get a grip on her uncontrollable tears ...
mataji- Siddanth, do u know what you were doing?...how can you do this?
Sujatha joined her...
Sujatha- I didn't expect this from you Siddanth... you scared the life out of everyone over here...(pointing towards Roli)look at her Siddanth...she's been weeping the whole time ...tell me y u've done it purposefully?
Sid- I... I was...
Sid stammered while trying to let out some words...He came to a halt when he found no words watching Roli...it's piercing his heart though he expected to face it...it's expected that he'll b called a stupid for his act...he felt those sounds of her heartbreak the moment she realized he's not in home...he expected the pain behind her tears...but one thing that he never expected is his ROLI attempting suicide ...he was terrorized...he forgot to breath till he caught hold of her hand...instead, he was expecting that in this process of searching him, she'll let out some clues about the person whom she was afraid of that he'll take him away from her...but his expectations seemed wrong...Very much wrong...
Prem interfered snatching everyone's attention onto him...
Prem- maa,maataji,,pls don't yell at him...he has done this hardening his heart...(mataji narrowed her eyes at him )we all very well knows that he can't do any such stupid thing that too knowingly...we've reason...
By now, it's clear to everyone that he has been supporting Sid right from the beginning...still he acted so well that he doesn't knows anything...simar clenched her teeth, looking at prem...
Roli is understanding everything one by one...she transferred her looks between SID & prem...
Prem- we thought Roli would seek police help in finding SID by telling abt kidnapper...we felt that she would reveal something about that incident in fear of losing SID...but...but, it ended up like this...(Looking at everyone) I'm sorry...I'm sorry Roli...
Prem bolted out everything without any approval from SID to reveal their plan...it's needed right now, prem thought!!
Though Roli felt pleased with prem's explanation, she was not okay to condone for their act...she is yet to calm down...her heart beats r still jumbling up & down from the moment sid has gone...she diverted her gaze from SID, blinked to let out some fresh tears, & turning away, rushed upstairs...
