Her Secret Smile

40.

"We fall in love with people we can't have"

If you ask Roshini about Siddharth, she first look at you widely, then slowly she will smile sheepishly and then her heart will start to race while uttering his name. While speaking she can't gather words to talk about him since she can't explain in words about what exactly Siddharth in her perspective. He is an unexpected person in her life where he came into her time all by himself and ruling her with his love and the most required person in her life where she is totally fell into his heart, she can't get out of it and he doesn't want to let her out.

It's been a week since her third year started. Just a year then Siddharth will leave. It seemed there is a year but time will fly than anything, waiting each day will do nothing. So Roshini getting all her courage placed the letter inside the books that Siddharth gave for her to study since she is going to return few of his books today now along with this she placed this letter hoping that he will see that.

And to that today was his birthday, she bought a gift too. A light sky-blue shirt she shopped with Nidhi where she bought a shirt for her husband, the gift it isn't costly but she can afford only this. Nidhi is having the shirt as Roshini can't keep that in her home.
Today Roshini was very confident and happy that finally, she is going to express her love for the first time.

She giggled to think what happens when Siddharth read that letter. OMG stop imagining and go Roshini she said to herself and came out of her house.

When she was walking to the bus stop Nidhi also joined her. Nidhi became little fat compared to before marriage and her face was glowing with a smile.

"All ready right?" Nidhi asked and Roshini nodded her head and gave a thumbs up  Nidhi also knows about this plan since she is the one who gave this idea to her.

Getting on the bus Roshini gripped Nidhi's hand feeling the overwhelming excitement. She beamed and took a breath.

"Don't be afraid girl, just go, give the books and talk with him for some time and come back. Then wait for a week, if he didn't show any signs about that letter. Then talk about that book so that he will look into it. Even after that, he didn't mention about anything then sorry to say he is not in love with you." Nidhi told and Roshini's face became dull.

"But I think he will look and the next moment he will run to you, then confesses his love by slamming his lips on yours," Nidhi said.

Roshini made a disgusting face hearing that. "Nidhi you are totally changed. I think Varun turned you like this," she told and they started giggling.

When they reached their class, Roshini again went to Siddharth class to see whether he is there. Seeing his absence she again went to her place in a disappointment.

Then the classes started and she sincerely started taking notes and listened to the lecture. After two periods she got a call from her mom.

Roshini thought why she is calling now and felt something odd, she went out and called her mom back.

"Hello, Amma?"

"Roshini... dad met in an accident," she cried while saying that.

"What? How?" She exclaimed without believing.

"When he was driving to his office, a truck crashed his vehicle from behind. Now come quickly," she told and Roshini's eyes welled with tears.

Then asking about the hospital details she went back to her class. She started crying and told this to Nidhi while packing her bag.

"Hey, I will come along with you," Nidhi told and she nodded.

They both took an Auto rickshaw to reach there fast. Roshini couldn't believe the news, how can something happen like this all of a sudden, she thought and throughout the ride she cried and prayed nothing should happen to her dad. Nidhi comforted her by telling encouraging words but whatever she says Roshini is very feared hearing this and her mom's voice was not normal at all.
