Stolen moments - OS

Note - Shefali Z and Aarti are evicted here.

'Big Boss aap sabhi gharwalo ko ek kaarya de rahe hain, jiske mutabik aap sabko jodiyo mei ek dance face off karna hai garden area mei jab tak music band na ho. Har gaane ke end mei partners switch honge aur khade rehne ka space kam ho jaega, like a paper dance. Jo jodi end tak tik jaegi wo winner hogi is task ki. Task abhi shyam mei kuch hi der mei shuru hoga. Aapke kapde storeroom mei hain. Good luck, Big Boss. ' Vishal read the day's task aloud for the contestants. Hearing the partner switch part, Rashami and Siddharth's breath hitched. Oh boy. This was going to be a long night.

The time arrived. The Mumbai air was just the right amount of crisp, cool and balmy. The vibe was present. The garden area was lit with fairy lights all over. There was also mood lighting all around which would focus on the dancing couples and light them up in soft hues of pink and red. The swimming pool's water sparkled with the lights, providing a nice backdrop. The contestants entered the garden and were enchanted with the decorations. Well, most of them. Sid was also enchanted,not by the decorations but by Rashami. He gulped when he saw her. Hard. She was wearing a sparkling silver dress with a sweetheart neckline. It left her shoulders and back bare and was slit high till one thigh. He felt his breath catch. He wanted to approach her and snatch her away but unfortunately, he wasnt the only one who wanted to protect her.

Asim, who was wearing a smartly tailored navy blue suit with a fitting white shirt and messy hair approached her and quietly said 'You look ethereal. ' as he placed a hand on the small of her back and led her away. Sid, dressed in a light bronze suit with set hair glared at them hard from a distance. Sana soon approached him trying to gain his attention and he just smiled at her fakely, totally distracted. However, she didn't notice anything amiss and continued chattering to him. From that position, Sid saw Rashami and Asim talking, laughing and giving each other a hi five. At one point, Rashmi straightened Asim's tie and he almost ran to punch him before he remembered himself. He cursed mentally. 'We will see Rashami Desai. We will just see. ' He challenged mentally and started to flirt with Sana, hoping she noticed. She did look in their direction once or twice but in that moment he couldn't gauge anything from her expression. Damn, she is a good actress, he muttered to himself.

Soon, Big Boss announced the start of the task. The other lights dimmed and the mood lighting of pink and red came in circles. The couples - ViRima, SidNaaz PaHira and RaSim took their positions. RaSim and SidNaaz were placed in such a way that Rashami and Sid could look at each other. Soon, the music started. A medley of romantic Bollywood songs came on as the couples started to sway to the beat. From the distance Sid continued to give RaSim his trademark glare as he saw Rashmi's hands around his neck and his around her waist. Sana constantly tried to get him to focus on her but since his gaze kept wavering asked 'Rashami ko dekh raha hai? ' He turned his glare at her 'Mai kyu dekhu usko.. Wo Modiji hai?' he muttered irritated. Sana was very puzzled. 'Tu Modiji ko dekhta hai? ' He became all the more irritated. 'Meri ma chup kar aur dance kar' And so they continued to dance.

On the other hand, RaSim were having a good time together. Rashami noticed Sid staring at her and determinedly turned her gaze to Asim only. 'Wo mujhe dekh raha hai. ' She whispered. Asim frowned, concerned. 'To aap mat dekho. Ignore karo. Task pe focus karo aur mujhpe. Dekho kitna taiyar hua hun mai' He winked at her with a playful grin and she laughed and hit his shoulder, resting her head on his chest, continuing to sway to the beat. Sid couldn't take it any more. Just when he thought to just give up the pretense and march over to them, the song changed and according to the task, it was time for partner switch.

With a graceful twirl, Rashami landed in Sid's arms at the exact same moment he caught her expertly, in one fluid, smooth move. They continued to twirl. He spread her out and then pulled her flush against his chest as she gasped. They continued the dance as if it was nothing except an expert instinct for them. He looked into her eyes at that moment, intensely. 'Kahin to Hogi Woh' played in the background. At that moment they seemed to be conveying a thousand unspoken words to each other just through their eyes. Both their eyes were fiery red with passion, longing, love and anger and shined with the sheen of unshed tears.

Kahin to Hogi Woh

Dunya Jahan to mere sath hain

Jaane na kahan wo dunya hain

Jaane na ho hain bhi ya nahi

Jahan meri zindagi mujhse itni khafa nahi

Not being able to take it any longer, he pulled her close and rested his head on her back while he snuggled her against his chest. They were now dancing in a hugging position. He no longer cared what people thought at that moment. A tear betrayed him and left his eyes which he quickly wiped off. Rashami felt something wet touch her shoulders and she was stunned. Still resting her head on his chest she whispered 'Aap thik ho? ', her own throat catching. He sighed and buried his face in her hair. 'Is moment pe thik hu. Bahut dino baad. ' Rashami trembled hearing that.

'M.. Matlab? ' she stuttered. 'Matlab aapko bhi pata hai.. Ya jaan ke anjaan ban rahe ho.. Hamesha ki tarah.' Rashami gasped. 'Sid please.. This is not the time. ' 'To kab aaega time Mujhe bhi batao thoda.. Yaha aane se pehle mile hum tab bhi sab clear karne ki koshish ki thi but apparently there is still some unfinished business.. ' He replied, in a low voice so the cameras won't pick it up.

'There is no unfinished business. Everything was finished a long time ago. We both made our choices, Sid. Now we have to live with them. ' she said in a teary voice. 'My choices disappeared from the moment I met you. There was only one left - loving you. Nothing else. Living without you is a forced situation, not my choice Rash. ' He said. She sighed. 'Sometimes our actions define our choices. Yours didn't convey what you just said, sorry to say. ' He felt a stab of anger but dismissed it. 'Rashami.. ' 'No Sid. No. ' He took a deep breath. 'You left. ' He accused. 'You gave me no other option. And you didn't stop me. ' she replied back fiercely. Siddharth sighed. She was right. 'I am sorry. Really, really sorry, for everything I did wrong, Rashami. The only thing I'm not sorry for is loving you, because that is the only thing I have ever done right. He whispered into her hair. Rashami smiled slightly through her tears." 'I am sorry too..I never meant to hurt you or us. I really did love you too.'

' And you don't anymore?' he asked. Rashmi didn't meet his eyes even as she said 'I love Arhaan right..and u r supposed to love Sana.' This annoyed him. "Rashami, u don't love him.' She opened her mouth to protest, but he stopped her. "I am not saying this out of just jealousy. Trust me that guy is a loser and a jerk." She looked at him pointedly and he almost, almost laughed. 'I know..i know I am one too. At least trust me for that reason. One jerk can identify another. He is using you. Emotionally manipulating u, You don't love him, u just have an emotional gratitude bcoz he was with u at a low period. But that doesn't give him the license to lie to u or control u in any way or use ur home and finances. Please understand. I say this without bias.'

She sighed deeply. "Okay, that is the truth I guess. I will break up with him first thing when we get out." He smiled in triumph. "It is. You can do way better." She nodded. "So can you." He looked at her "Do better than Sana? I know I.." he started to say but she cut him off. "No,u can do much better for urself Sid." 'What?' He asked puzzled. "You can do so much better than this. Be a way better person. You have anger. Use that to fight for the truth. You have passion. Use that to liven up the world. You have a good voice. Use it to say good things and spread positivity. You can be fun too. Do that. Be better. The Sid I used to know never tolerated it if a single person tried to insult me. If he knew u, he'd kick ur ass." She said in a single breath. He was STUNNED.STUNNED. Dazed, he said "Alright. You are right too. I know u r. Your Sid was better, way better. Mostly because u were with him." She tried to interrupt but he said "But I will now try to be so with or without you becoz u hv said it. I will do it. I promise." He kissed her palm. She sighed. "Sana is a nice girl Sid..promise me u wont break her heart and will love her correctly." He scoffed. "You think I am capable of loving anyone else than u? IMPOSSIBLE. SORRY. Don't worry, I will be careful with her. But sorry I cant promise u what u want." She sighed but nodded.

He held her tighter. The song was about to end. The time for partner switch wud come soon. Rashami tried to loosen the hold but he stopped her."Badi jaldi hai Asim ke pass wapas jaane ki?' he raised a brow. She raised her chin. "He is a great guy." He nodded. 'I know. That is why I hate him near you." She laughed then. 'Sid, I have to go..." He shook his head. "Thodi der aur. Just a few more stolen moments. I promise. See, the new song is also stating the same.' They both smiled at each other then, lost in their embrace and each other's intense eyes. Even the world could not ruin this one moment for them.

Lag Ja Gale Ke Fir ye haseen raat ho na ho

Shayad fir is janm mei mulakat ho na ho....
