Roli: yes. As we went out yesterday.

Sid: why can't you give it to laundry like me.

Roli: siddhantji you are working & earning. Its OK for you to wash clothes on laundry. But I am studying depending on my parents income.

Sid: roli, but you think I won't pay for you

Roli: not like that. But I can't depend on each & every things right. Already you are spending much for me.

Sid: are you different for me that I can't spend for you.

Roli: tell me who I am then for you.

Sid wanted to tell you are my love & life.

But his promise to her that he don't take advantage & the fear of her reply hold him.

Sid moved from there without replying anything.

Roli was thinking, siddhantji I know you love me. But why are you not telling anything.

Roli cooked food and they had breakfast.

Roli was surprised.

Roli: siddhantji you at home at this time.

Sid: yes I took half day leave.

Sid took her to a corner of the room where there was brand new fully automatic washing machine with drier.

Roli: washing machine!

Sid: yes. You said you can't give your clothes to laundry. But hope no problem in washing your clothes in this right. I too will not give to laundry when you don't. I too will wash in this only. TEll me whether I can use your machine to wash my clothes.

Roli: siddhantji..

Roli got tears of happiness on her eyes.

Roli was very happy.

Sid was happy seeing his roli happy.

Roli looked at his hands holding her hands tightly.

Sid too realised that he is holding her hands.

Roli blushed.

Sid took his hands and tried to move away.

Roli hold his hands from going.

Roli: siddhantji you did not answer my question yet. Who am I to you?

Sid did not reply.

Roli: are we the same who traveled as stranger in the train.

Sid nod his head as no.

Roli: are you only sharing your room as I came out of my room suddenly and got no place to stay.

Sid: no.

Roli: am I just your friend sharing your room

Sid: no

Roli: then what is between us which is binding us together. How did we came closer to each other? What is making you to do all these for me?
