"I have a plan" said Raman. "But the question is, are you game for it?"
"Yes" said Ishita unhesitatingly, looking into her Husbands eyes.
"But I haven't told you what it is yet" he smiled at her.
"Whatever it is, I will do it. I ...I need you too Raman" she blushed as she admitted her longing to him.
He caressed her cheeks with loving hands " Jhooth bolna padega"
"Boloongi" she responded, shivering at his touch.
"Main jo bhi kahoonga, karna padega" he decided to press home his advantage.
"Karoongi" she caught his wandering hands in hers, pressing them to her lips.
"Then tonight " he shuddered at the feel of her lips " Hotel Taj, 9.00pm. Meet me in the lounge. Tell them at home that you have an emergency surgery and it will take you a while. I will call and say that I am held up in a meeting. Aur haan, the room will be booked in the name of Raj"
"Raj Kyon?"
"Are, yaar. I am a younger sexier version of SRK after all. So Raj Malhotra suits me no? Ghar par keh dena ki tumhara VIP patient hai, Mr Raj Malhotra." He smirked at her
"Aap Raj hai to phir main Kaun hoon? Simran? Simmi ?"" Ishita started giggling.
"Kya, yaar, sara passion hi kill kar diya" he hit his head in mock disgust. "Thik hai, yeh story zyada Chennai Express hai, after all. To main Rahul aur tum Meenamma. Meenamma Lochini."
"Raman..." She fell laughing into his arms. "Kuch bhi"
"Deepika then?" He tightened his arms around her, and tilted her face up to receive his kiss"
"Raman, no, I have to go. Bas yahi hai aap ka plan? Mujhe hotel mein bulana, surgery ke bahane?" She pulled herself out of his arms, straightening her sari as she did.
"Nahi, yeh to bas pehle episode hoga. Lekin din mein ab tum rest kar liya karna, because your nights are going to be very busy, Mrs Bhalla" he made a grab for her, but she moved swiftly towards the door.
"Mrs Bhalla? I thought I was Deepika."
"Tonight. 9.00pm" he repeated as she finally walked out the door, her head and heart both in a spin at the thought of the night to come.
