IshVeer OS
Ishani sat on the couch in her bedroom and she was lost in her own gloomy world. Gauri had left not long ago but it felt like ages since Ishani saw her.
Ishani was feeling restless. Whatever had happened was not good. Whatever had happened was not fair. Not fair at all. Yeah, Ranveer had given her an explanation of why Gauri had taken this step but it still didn't put her mind to ease. His words for love were true no doubt, but she couldn't see her sister in tears. She felt sad and broken for her sister. She wiped off the lone tear that glided down her cheek and thought to rest her mind for sometime. She wasn't in a mood to sleep on the soft bed, atleast for sometime. How could she sleep peacefully? When her sister was going through hell. She lied down on the couch.
*The Main Hall*
Ranveer had been on his toes during the whole wedding. He hadn't rested for a second and had put in all his efforts he could. Now that everyone had left, and finally he had some lone moments for himself, he heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, he too felt immensely miserable for Gauri but he also knew the power of love; for he himself was a lover too. He knew what tremendous amounts of happiness and satisfaction it gave to the lover when he or she did something to make his beloved smile. He smiled faintly to himself as he recalled Ishani's smiling face. [Tum hi Ho BGM š³ ā¤ļø ]
He snapped out of his lovely thoughts when he heard his tummy growling due to hunger. He giggled to himself. "Beta pyaar ke chakkar mein pet ko kyun saza de raha hai?" he laughingly said to himself.
He looked around himself and noticed the food corner in the hall, that had been set up for the guests. He could still see the food stuff there. "Lucky man Ranveer".. he patted his own back cutely with a giggle. He moved towards the food counter and readied his food plate with some food. He couldn't wait to eat. He was terribly hungry after all. He took a bite from the plate and was about to put it into his mouth when he felt a strong grip on his hand. It was Baa. Baa's hand. She stopped him from having the food and gave him an angry glare.
"Nalayak... ye mehemaano ke khaane ki jagah hai... naukaron ke khaane ki nahi... Wahaan jaakar khaa jahaan naukar khaate hain.." she taunted him with all her venom.
It hurt him. Terribly hurt him. But somewhere he was used to it. Without any word, he put down the food morsel back in the plate and gave Baa a faint smile .. "Jee Baa.. jaisa aap kahein".. and he left from there.
Ishaani who had been restless on the couch had come down in the hall to take water Jug but what she witnessed hurt her. Terribly hurt her. She witnessed her best friend getting insulted. And she didn't like it one bit. But ofcourse, this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened. She would have argued with Baa at this instance too, just like she always did but she thought the better of the situation and waited for Baa to leave.
As Baa made sure that Ranveer wasn't around the food counter, she left from there with an awful face.
Ishani moved towards the Servants' quarter area and witnessed Ranveer readying his food plate. She felt horrible inside her. Ranveer was about to take a bite when he felt a soft touch on his shoulder.
"Ranveer.." , came her low and soft voice filled with concern.
A smile escaped from his lips as he realized she was Ishani. He turned around to see her. He immediately hid his hurt expressions and said "Arrey.. Ishani..tum yahaan..?"
Ishani could sense that he was trying to hide his hurtful feelings. .."Ranveer... tum meri har baar maante ho na..?" she asked with a serious yet soft tone.
"Mmm... Haan baba.. bolo na.. kuch kaam tha? (He put down the food bite in the plate.) Khaa toh baad mein bhi loonga... kaam batao jaldi.." he smilingly said.
Ishani was moved. Immensely moved. "This man's hungry and here he is, ready to do anything at any time without a single ounce of self care" she thought to herself.
"Haan khaana baad mein khaa lena.. vo ek kaam thaa...karoge?"
"Bolo naa.."
"Chat par jaakar mera wait karo... wahaan batati hoon.. important kaam hai.."
"okay.."
*Terrace*
He waited for her. He was so hungry yet he was here. All for his love. After two minutes or so, he could hear her payal's noise. He smiled.
He turned around to see Ishani with a food plate in her hands. The food plate was filled with almost all types of food items he had seen on the counter. He was moved. Immensely moved. "Oh! So this was your work hun?" he thought to himself. He loved her to core. But what he loved more was her friendship. He valued her concern and friendship.
Ishani came closer to him with the food plate. She kept down the plate on the swing and asked him to sit.
"Ranveer.. Baa ki taraf se main sorry bol rahin hoon...please bura mat maano na...please..."
"Pagli.. main bura maanane laga toh is duniya ka kya hoga.."
A lively smile escaped from Ishaani's face and she said "chalo ab bohot ho gayin baatein... khaanaa khaalo..." .. she looked at him with a smiling face.
"Ohhoo.. badi chintaa ho rahi hai meri?" he teased her as he took a bite and finally made its way into his mouth.
"Haan... wo kehte haina.. bakre ko halaal karne se pehle use khoob saara khaana khilaate hain... wahi kar rahi hoon..." she darted him a devil smile.
Ranveer laughed out loud. "Tum bhi naa Ishani..."
"Okay.. now jokes apart.. khaao chup chaap.." she cutely ordered him.
Ranveer continued having his dinner while Ishani looked at her best friend with a smile. He loved this unconditional affection from Ishani. Just loved it.
