Mine till Midnight
There was a pall of gloom in the Bhalla and Iyer household after Mihir Mihika court marriage met with a road block. Raman tried his best to get Mihir to unravel all the secrets and start his life afresh. But Mihir was adamant he would hear nothing of it. Mihir managed to win over the Iyer's and Mihika's mom with his sincere plea. Things were back on track for Mihir and Mihika's forthcoming marriage but Raman was still queasy with all that was still to be revealed. He was hoping that nothing would come between Mihir and Mihika and between him and his Ishita. Raman was now someone who wanted to know how his wife felt about him and their feelings for each other was threatening their "sirf Ruhi ke liye" status.
Navarathri was just round the corner. Amma declared that she would keep her fare simple as she wanted focus on Mihika's wedding preparations. But Ishu was Ishu she wanted a big event with the entire package - A golu ( traditional exhibition of dolls ) with guests streaming in every evening and gifts and return gifts. " but amma yeh meri beti ki pehli navrathri hai" she wailed when Amma asked her not to count her in to lend a hand. " Tum manage kaise karogi? Clinic bhi to hai..chutti nahi le sakthi ho!" amma reprimanded. " Nahi I'll manage" replied Ishita and she turned her other mom " mummyji aap ko toh objection nahi hai na mummyji" "Arre na na puttar" replied Toshiji " neelu aur mai sab sambhal lenge" she added. There was a lot of carrying and arranging to do so she then turned her attention to Romi to rope him in for the festivities. " Ruhi Mihika chitti ke friends pretty pretty dresses phenke ayange dance karenge tumharre liye bhi pretty dresses nikhalenge teek hai. Waise tho yeh 9 days ki festival hai, par hum na Ruhi roz puja karenge aur sirf ek evening sab ko invite karenge! Ruhi help karegi na Ishima ko?" she pouted. " Ofcourse Ishima" she said as she caught her Ishima looking at Romi with raised eyebrows. Ruhi ran up and climbed on her chachu while he scooped her up " aap bhi help karoge na chachu mihika chitti ke friends bohot pretty hai aur smart bhi" she whispered into his ears. " Haan haan Ruhi chui" he laughed at the mom and daughter.
Raman was listening to the entire exchange with an amused grin " yeh madrassan ..har kisi ko pata lehti hai" he thought and went back to surfing on his mac. She did know the right buttons to push! Ishita walked in carrying Ruhi on her back and his daughter resting her chin on his wife's shoulder. The shoulder that felt so yum in his arms when he hugged her last night trying to pry the TV remote off her hands. The time they spent inadvertently in each other's arms, was enough to make them both remember it fondly through the days that followed. It had blown Raman's control on his emotions to smithereens and left Ishita craving for more of the warmth and both for the content they felt in those fleeting moments. Raman smiled at the mother daughter pair as they were picking out clothes and accessories for an event that was a week away. " Ishima muhje bhi baalon may flowers chaiye" squealed a delighted Ruhi. " Sure beta" promised the glowing Ishita.
Mother and daughter cootchie cooing was not unusual. What was unusual was the invisible drool on Raman's face and the shy glances that his wife was casting on him. Raman was hoping that his daughter would insist on sleeping on the bed tonight. He wanted Ishita as close as he could manage to have her. He too could push buttons right!
He moved next to Ruhi and grabbed her in a tight cuddle tickled her till she was all pink and tired her out jumping and running around, while Ishita left the room to sort out the kitchen after dinner and walked to the balcony to finish up with some calls. Ruhi was almost asleep when Ishita a returned to the room and she lay cuddled next to her father. Ishita grabbed little Ruhi's outstretched hand and sank on the bed kissing her forehead. Ruhi took her parents hands and tucked it under her chin with delight. Ishita and Raman too smlied at each other as they watched her fall asleep with a smile on her face and Raman watched Ishita smile in her sleep.
Her braided hair long and simple, her tucked in pallu and her swirling sari all set him afire. The music had a tilting effect on him and all that he saw was the ethereal beauty swinging gracefully to the music that was playing and Mihika weaving in and out obstructing his view. He stood at the entrance of his home unable to peel his eyes off her. The skin coloured sari with a deep maroon border and her maroon stringed back blouse gave him all the view he needed of her back to feel the heat rising in his insides. The pleasant smile on her face as she went about emoting in sync with the song he could make no sense off made his mouth go dry. He quickly looked around and was grateful the event was an all girls and ladies event and Romi did not count because he was like a kid in a candy store there were too many girls for him to stare at and Mihika and his bhabi did not qualify. He went back to looking at Ishita and followed his daughter as she led him to a chair in a corner and perched herself on his lap.
Ishita as part of this dance routine threw a glance at him - her smile got bigger and eyes brighter when she noticed him sitting at the corner with his daughter in tow. His breath hitched when his eyes fell to her creamy waist which now lay exposed thanks to a stretch that she was doing, Mihika moved in again and blocked him and he was forced creen his neck to get an uninterrupted view of her waist! Her entire body seemed to be in blissful balance and he was soaking in every bit of her!
His house was a beehive of activity these past few days that he happily side-stepped citing work. He had decided to get home early this evening because he did not want to disappoint his little girl and he was now having the time of his life! " ISHIMAAA wow aap kitne acche nachiti ho" screamed Ruhi at the end of the piece. Raman held little Ruhi tight wanting Ishita to come out to them rather than let Ruhi run to her! His wish came true. Ishita did not want her husband weaving through a roomful of women and ran up to them, dropped on her knees, cuddled her little girl and planted kisses on her cheek. Ruhi slouched into her dad shy at all the attention she was getting from the women around and Ishita was closer to Raman's chest than she realised. Raman looked down at his wife's that had turned beet red from the dancing and her hastened breath. Without a warning Ruhi jumped off her father's lap and kneeling Ishita lost her balance. She groped for balance while her husband's arm came around her stopping her fall and pulling her up and smiling down at her! Raavan Kumar she winked at him " dhadi ke peche dimple chupathe ho" she whispered into his ears her eyes returning. How can a man stay away from his wife after that he wondered! He couldn't not anymore!
