IshRa: A full Proof Plan - ' The Confession' updtd pg 44 - Page 5

Chapter 1:The guide.

Seizing Romi's laptop, he moved to the bedroom only to bump into the woman who was responsible for all the craziness he was getting into.

- Arrey what are you doing with Romi's laptop?

- Lo! Aagayi Karamchand jassoos! I forgot mine in the office meri maa and I need to write a report. Khush??

Saying that, he moved to the living room leaving the bedroom for his wife and daughter where he could now start his...work!!As soon as he read the title of the article, Raman smiled disgustingly and started rambling hopelessly.

"18 foolproof ways to make a girl fall in love with you"

Fool proof!! It is full proof not foolproof idiot reporter!

- To whom are you talking to Raman?

Raman was surprised to see Ishita standing at the doorstep with a frown, a glass of water in hand. An annoyed and embarrassed Raman roared:

- Why do you have to put your Pinocchio jaissi naak in everything I do?

- Hawww! Brute! I don't care what you do.

And turning away she concluded: By the way, my nose is perfect!

- Yes Jhansi ki Rani it is perfect. Spare me and let me work.

He glared at her and she immediately went in and shut the door behind her. Raman heaved a sigh of relief and went on with his soliloquy.

Why am I doing this? Reading these internet tips like Romi? Am I that desperate?

He was to close the tab on that website realizing the silliness of the act by a CEO of the year but... stopped.

I promised myself to stop being in denial mode. I am not what I was some months back. I am looking at her in another light now. She is my wife and we have a long way to go together, well I... hope, I ...wish and I really want to make it work.

He took a long breathe and continued to read what the article was offering.

As a guy what do you do when you find yourself falling for a girl?

This is not a random girl, she is my wife and crazy to make matters worse!

If you are just like most guys, you'd pursue her, woo her and after some days you would tell her that you love her?

Oh hello. I am not a random guy too. I am Raman Kumar Bhalla. I don't pursue or woo and telling her I love her is definitely not happening either. She needs to confess first.

Arrey yaar! As if Ishita was not enough.Yahan bhi lecture!!

Raman scanned and skipped some more paragraph too bored of the lecture being given by the reporter but Raman stopped at some succinct points.

- Don't rush it and make her realize how awesome you are

That's what I have been doing for months - taking things slow and easy. We are married for months and I have not laid one single finger on her. Of course at the beginning I was not interested. But now...

Ab Kitna slow jaana padega? Only I know how much I am controlling myself around her these days. Last time after her "button- sutra" act, I nearly jumped on her but controlled and jumped under the cold shower instead.

Awesome? Well RKB is awesomeness personified, what's there to show her! Bullshit.

- Just the right amount of attention. Don't drop all your commitments and give her all your attention, you may lose value...

Haha! Mujhe kya paagal kutta ne kaata hain jo mein sab kuch chod ke iss paagal ke peeche jaounga!! Seriously what is this stupid article and why am I reading this nonsense?

But Raman kept on reading about the different ways listed in the article, rolling his eyes as he found some points really absurd. He was being asked to be there always for her and not to be available all the time! How could that be possible he wondered?

It was really a bad idea to leave his professional commitments and spent time on this nonsense, Raman finally admitted to himself. He immediately left the page and started working on his report only to find his concentration drifting away. Holding his head in his hands, he took a long breathe and again opened the "foolish" page, no idea why he was letting him swayed into this. His eyes drifted to a small box at the right end of the page inviting the reader to ask questions if the article hasn't really helped much. An anonymous live chat with Love Guru! Raman laughed aloud.

Thank God ridiculousness doesn't kill; I would be dead by now! I am sure this Love Guru is either a battered husband or a frustrated spinster.

After some thoughts, Raman muttered to himself.

I stand with nothing to lose, I am anyway not getting any sleep tonight while the Khumbhkaran is sleeping and snoring in the bedroom. Let me see what this idiot at the other end has to say about my situation.

Raman switched to the private browsing to avoid being caught by Romi later and once connected with the other person, he explained his situation to the guy or woman or whoever, he didn't care. The person texted him back

- There are only two scenarios. Either she likes you or she doesn't like you. Where do you situate yourself?

What a fool! Arrey if I knew she liked me I wouldn't be banging my hand on the wall.

But he replied as decently as possible.

- I don't think she dislikes me because I do get good vibes from her. She cares for me and I had even caught her looking at me in a special way but would back off as soon as I would notice.

The alien at the other end continued.

- Noticed how she behaves around you? Does she laugh or smile more often around you than other guys?

Raman laughed out aloud.

- Haha!! I would rather say she makes faces around me rather than laughs around me. She pulls my leg and laughs at me.

- Is she interested in another guy then?

- Are you out of your mind? She is not like this! Patni hain meri!!

The conversation went on for some time and the verdict fell. According to the love guru, Raman was head over heels in love and based on what Raman had told him, Ishita too was not indifferent but she belonged to the category of women who freaked out when they ventured out of their comfort zone and sometimes it is important to get such girl against the wall.

- What? Are you trying to help or to kill me?

Love Guru was of a different point of view.

Hmmm! Raman was now really interested. Love Guru was not sounding as stupid as his/her username. This was just like a business deal according to him. A love deal but the proceedings were the same way. Love Guru concluded:

- You have identified your problem, collect tips, analyze and use those tips which would help you to ease your problem and conclude the deal. Just proceed in a practical way with your heart guiding you!

Light at the end of the tunnel! Raman Kumar Bhalla leaned back and smiled. He logged out.

It was time to put forward his personalized Full Proof Plan to get his wife to confess her feelings for him.

This is going to be very interesting, he hissed.
