" i love you ishita... "
he whispered after kissing the sensitive spot behind her ear
" i love you too sadu... " she said blushing hard.
" open your eyes ishu... i want you to see what you do to me... " he said seductively pulling her close under the black satin sheet wrapped around them.
" raman... " she moaned as his hand moved from her waist to the place where she had him the previous night... the place which ached for him... the place where she needed him the most.
heavily breathing, ishita woke up to this very dream of hers, again in the middle of the night. this was the only thing that has been happening with her religiously from the last five years. That moment of love. intimacy and passion, which she once thought will be one of her cherished moments was now her biggest nightmare. this very memory of that night has been haunting her like hounds from hell and was not letting her move on in her life. every night those memories would come back to her and forcefully drag her into that particular phase of time, 5 years ago.
ishita iyer, a tamilian, was born and brought up in london and was about to persue her medical degree in one of the best medical college; when all this started. she has been a friendly, outgoing, funny, lively girl all her life and she was a combo of qualities what a man expects to find in his girl, so therefore she was desirable. this was the biggest reason why she was so "famous" with the girls (note the sarcasm). some of the blondes hated ishita to the core, all thanks to the jealously they felt towards her.
one day she was on her way to her college in her car when accidently her car ot hit by another car. ishita normally was very chilled out and cool headed but a single scratch on her baby (her car) used to drive her crazy and she in blink of an eye would forget all her mannerism and various dos n donts taught to her, all throughout her life.
" come out you blind driver... " ishita said while knocking on the glass window of a black BMW that banged into her baby.
the glass window slided down and she was greeted by a breathtaking sight of a man... no... of a greek god who had a very handsome face with a sharp jaw and and -
" why is he not looking at me...??? what...??? will he stop talking on that damned phone...?? " she thought gritting her teeth.
ishita took a long breath to calm herself down and then she took, scratch that. she snatched the mobile phone from that man's hand.
" this guy has some real big problem to sort out right now... he will call you back... " she said to whoever was on the other side of the phone and disconnected the call.
" what the hell do you think you are doing you ill mannered woman...?? " barked the man.
" you appeared rude but no surprises... you are actually rude... " ishita commented crossing her arms.
" return me my mobile young lady... "
" not before you apologise... "
" apologize...??? what...??? why...?? "
" because you bumped into my little baby... see what you have done... " ishita said with anger and slight tears formed in her eyes.
" baby...?? are you insane...??? " asked the man.
" you think im insane... you banged my car and now you have to apologise you... you mr... whatever... "
" raman... mr. raman kumar bhalla... " came the reply.
" i dont care... now apologise and leave... " ishita said looking anywhere but at that freaking handsome and sexy monster in front of her.
raman took out his wallet and taking out some money he kept it in ishita's hand.
" here keep it and get your baby repaired... " raman said to ishita.
ishita's mouth opened due to shock and she couldnt register what happened.
" did he just give me some money and left...?? " ishita said to herself in disbelief.
raman's car zoomed past ishita and ishita burned with anger.
" i will return you what you gave me mr. monster... i will not leave you mr. whatever bhalla... " ishita roared with anger and frustration.
it was amazing how one single meeting with raman, had such an effect on ishita. once funny lively girl suddenly experienced extreme emotions like anger, frustation and hatred. she never hated anyone in her life but now she did. she hated raman and she actually truly wanted to give it back to him.
call it timing or destiny, but their paths crossed. mihika, ishita's best friend introduced her to roman; who was a son of some family friends in india. ishita couldnt believe that that monster was in front of her again and this time she thought she would pay him back. raman didnt even notice ishita until she intentionally touched raman's hand with her cup of hot brewing coffee. raman immediately left his phone and glared at ishita while ishita just ignored him and his shooting glares. this infuriated raman and he for the first time tried getting ishita's attention. but ishita ignored raman and left the place. only ishita knew that this move of hers was planned. she read somewhere that dont give attention to a guy and he will follow you like a love sick puppy.
initially mihika couldnt understand what was the reason for ishita's cold behavior with raman, who was like an elder brother to her. she couldnt understand what must have forced her sweet bubbly friend to develop ill feelings towards raman and one moment shoot anger glares at him and other moment act strange around him and the rare moments, when she oogles at him and shamelessly checks him out. mihika gathered courage and asked ishita what was really going on. ishita didnt really took mihika seriously and everytime dodged whenever her "usual" question came up.
ishita became friends with raman, obviously after taking mihika in confidence.
" mihu... i... im sorry for my uncivilised behaviour with that friend of yours... i want to call it truce... i want to apologise to him... you know na i have sentiments attached with my car and he touched the wrong wire, in the first meeting only... " ishita said innocently.
" okkk ishu... i will make sure that raman bhaiya and you become friends... one of the most important people in my life will now become friends... yaaayyy... " mihika chirped with happiness.
" im sorry mr. bhalla... " ishita said to raman.
" its okk... " said raman.
" excuse me... ideally you should also apologise... you shouldnt have given me a bundle of money... a sorry would have made up for the mess... " ishita suggested.
" ok... im sorry and i mean it... " raman said with a smile on his face... a genuine smile...
that was the start of their friendship and many other things that followed. may be this was "beginning" of the end..
raman appeared rude to people who didnt know him but for the ones who know him, he was like a mystery. even mihika was clueless about raman and the reason for his sudden rude and cold behaviour with others. one minute raman would be smiling and laughing with you cracking jokes and suddenly something will happen...and bang... bad mood and rude avatar back into action.
in the beginning, ishita really thought that something was wrong with her new friend. raman. she actually thought he needs some help and should urgently see a psychiarist. she even suggested the same to mihika and she actually fell down from the chair laughing.
" you think raman bhaiya is a mental patient..." mihika said holding her stomach while laughing.
" not exactly mihu... but i think he needs some help... you know how he sometimes over react and act like an angry bull... " ishita tried explaining mihika.
" dont overthink sweetheart... he is normal and doesnt need help... "
" are you sure...?? " asked ishita.
" umm... not sure... but im positive..." said mihika in an unsure voice.
" haha... whatever... "
ishita suddenly became interested in raman and his "famous: mystery thing and all she ever wanted was to solve the mystery and come out with flying colours. she wanted to know it all, no matter how and she was sure she will somehow one day find the reason. ishita did made many plans so that raman opens up a bit more with her and share his problems. ishita, this time was
happy to be a listener while everytime it was the opposite. plans were made, executed but always failed. raman did go out with her, talk to her, laugh with her, eat with her, hang out with her but that was it. he never did talk to her about his life back in india, though he did tell ishita about his family and how much he loves them. he did tell her that now he just wants to focus on his business, flourishing it, expanding it and somehow becoming one of the biggest businessman ever. ishita really hoped and wished that his dream gets fulfilled one day.
with soo much things happening, ishita would momentarily would forget about the paying back thing but whenever raman turned into his rude monster avatar, she would get reminded of that and will decide to never let herself forget her purpose. in few minutes she would be BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
