Previous: Chapter One

^^This beautifully perfect banner was made by my good friend, Shikhu. Thank you dear! 🤗

Stealthily, he made his way next to her and teased, "Aren't you happy to see me?"

Ishita's breath hitched and her eyes widened just a bit as she felt his voice caress her ears. He was standing dangerously close to her and she couldn't stop the spot of red creeping up to her cheeks.

But if he really did affect her, she couldn't let him have it. After all, she was Ishita Raman Kumar Bhalla. So she suddenly leaned in closer and overstepped that danger zone and whispered in a low, husky voice, "Of course I am sweetheart." Ishita said it as if it was the most natural thing as she winked at him and went towards the kitchen to get the food ready. Just as she rounded the corner into the kitchen she turned around and winked at him again!

To say he was stumped is an understatement! Raman stood rooted at that spot and tried to decipher if that really just happened. He slowly went over the last few minutes in his head but still couldn't come to grips with his wife's most recent actions.

"Bhai, why are your cheeks so red?" Mihir questioned inquisitively. But Raman was saved from answering because Mihika pulled him away and whispered something in his ear, which left the couple giggling and Raman blushing profusely. It's no rocket science that Mihika had witnessed his wife's antics and just shared every detail with her husband to-be.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the night passed uneventful and everyone retired to bed promptly. Raman was expected to hold an early morning conference and Ishita's day was packed with appointments. So when they saw each other the next night, they were once again, tired. The couple went about their mundane tasks and settled into their regular sleeping arrangements; Raman watching cricket and Ishita reading a book on the couch until she fell into a slumber.

Raman never thought the day would come when cricket would be boring compared to staring at his wife's beautiful face. Despite the final over being bowled, Raman's eyes weren't fixed on the television screen - they were locked on to the way Ishita was smiling in her sleep. He continued to stare as her brows knit and the smile disappeared. He sat up abruptly and came closer. He wondered what she was dreaming about, however she left no chance for him to ponder further. She began murmuring, jumbled words incoherently until he picked up on some clear phrases. But those phrases were enough to knock the wind from under Raman's wings. She was having mild nightmares from that Parmeet fiasco!

He had never watched her sleep before and himself being in a deep slumber on the bed, he couldn't have known if this was a nightly occurrence. He was suddenly angry with himself for not paying more attention to her. Right there and then, his respect for this woman grew tenfold. She was definitely the strongest woman he knows; yet she managed to remain grounded and bring smiles to everyone's faces. Instinctively, he gently clasped her right hand with his left and smoothen the crimps on her forehead with his right hand. He smiled as she just as quickly reverts to the smiling face. His wife was indeed a phenomenal woman who had stood by him selflessly for the duration of their marriage.

When Raman was certain Ishita was having those sweet dreams again, he left her hand and lay on the bed. Sleep had long evaded him and his train of thoughts was inevitably on his wife. He needed to do something to ensure she no longer suffered from the post traumatic nightmares of that fateful night. Finally, his eyes closed when he came to the almost perfect solution.

Ishita woke up just before the sun peeped out and turned towards Raman; a habit she had picked up a few weeks ago after he successfully brought her sister Mihika and his brother, Mihir together. That day she knew that Raman had fit the bill of everything she wanted in a life partner. She smiled ruefully as she thought of her ex - fianc, Subbu. She had been under the impression that Subbu was the ultimate man in her life and she had given up on searching for someone the day she married Raman Kumar Bhalla. More like, she had given up on finding something that would complete her as a woman. But she never knew that the very man she married would complete her and her family. Raman's entry into her life had been her full circle. Subbu left her when he found out she couldn't conceive and Raman brought a child into her life. She thought she was just filling that void in her life, until Raman proved that he was the perfect son-in-law. Nothing had impressed her more than seeing Raman as the family oriented man she had seen in her dreams; a man that would put her family first.

After looking at her husband for a few minutes and basking in the now gleaming sunlight that shone through the windows, she prepared for her day ahead. She can sense that it was going to be a beautiful day.

Just as she rushed into the room three hours later to collect her handbag and head to the clinic, Raman stated, "Meet me at the coffee shop for lunch." She halted and looked at him puzzled.

"Why?" she asked the only the question that came to mind. But to her utter shock, he winked at her and walked away!

"Is he playing games now?" Ishita said aloud to the four walls of their bedroom.

Chapter Three

Hey Nancy! 😊

Welcome to the YHM family! 🤗

Thank you so much! 😳

Lol! I just did! 😉

Thank you sooo much! 😳 Now YOU are making ME blush! 😆

I always loved the naughty Ishita. That avatar always gives me the best Raman reactions! 😆 So why not include them in my story? 😉

Mihir and Mihika are a really cute couple. I like them and wanted to give them some scope, even if it means using them as cupid. 😛

That staring scene was actually inspired by the SBS segment, I just added my bit. 😳

Comfort is what Ishita needs and it's something that she herself may not know. So Raman being aware of that fact is something that is more than welcome.

😆 Honestly, the plan is still half baked in my head! 😆 😆

Thank you once again and I will! 😃

You're welcome. 😳
