New IshRa Series: bedroom Chronicles of Mr n Mrs Paagal Bhalla

"Just open your mouth a little bit wider...Very good. You are a darling. Very good girl...Now count up to 10 in your head. 1...2...10!

"We are done!!"

Ishita smiled at her cute little patient and patted her head before asking the child's mom to take another appointment.

"Thank you very much Doctor for accepting to treat Riya despite your hectic schedule. She had had a very painful night."

"You are welcome. Bye. Take care"

As soon as they were gone, Ishita sat at her desk and started scanning her diary - three more appointments, a meeting at 1.30 pm...

Beep Beep!

A glance at her mobile, she immediately scrunched her eyebrows and nose. Her husband!

- Good morning my Intelligent, Smart, Honey, Intelligent (again), Too much, Adorable wife.

Hi my Rowdy, Arrogant, Maha kharroos, Akdu, NALAYAK husband.

- Nalayak???

Good for nothing in English!

- Seriously Ishita you are so unfair.

Everything is fair in love and WAR.

- Don't you think you are being a bit too harsh on me?

Oh my god! Look who is talking? Have you ever seen a devil wrapped in a plastic cover?

- Huh? Kya bol rahe ho yaar?

You haven't? Then go and see your ID CARD!

- Ishita seriously you are too much!

...

- What? Blank text kyun bhej rahe ho?

Well how come Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla, the one and only great CEO of all times, is wasting his time texting?

- Ok! I am sorry.

...

- Ishita please? Ok tell me how can I redeem myself?

...

5...10...15 minutes!

Raman kept staring at his mobile screen. She would not reply back. Jhansi ki Rani was seriously miffed. What to do now? How to control the damage? His head in his hands, he closed his eyes.

*flashback*

- Raman?

- Hmmm

- It is late.

- Hmmm

- Kya hain Raman! You know I can't sleep without you at my side.

- Hmmm

- Come here na! Why are you working on the couch?

- Hmmm

- Raman!!!! Hadd karte ho! Are you listening?

Realizing that his crazy madrassan was losing her temper, Raman immediately shifted his attention to her.

- Yes my beautiful wife! I am listening to you. I am almost done. You sleep. I will join you in half an hour.

- Come on the bed na! I promise I won't disturb you and I don't bite. Promise

Raman looked up and smiled. She was smiling at him teasingly. His crazy madrassan wife! Life was never boring with her around.

- You think I can work with you sleeping beside me. It is late. Sleep Ishu.

- I am not sleepy.

- Ok tell me what you did today with Ruhi?

- Oh! Yes! We had so much fun I tell you.

- That's great!

- We had double cheese burger and coke and had two huge blackcurrant ice cream. Itna khaya itna khaya..

- Wow!

- We also went shopping.

- ohhh

- I bought a red frock for ruhi and a blue saree for myself. U like blue na?

- Yes...

- Btw I sent Ruhi to Vandu Akka. I missed you all day and I wanted to spend some time alone with you.

- Okkk...

- Han I forgot! I also bought something special online from Victoria Secret Store. Yellow lingerie...they looked gorgeous on the models. I couldn't resist. You think it will look good on me?

- Of course!

- And I bought matching yellow Chaddi for you too.

- Great...

- Let's try them together.

- Sure.

- Don't you think I am looking like a buffalo in this pink nightie?

- Yes babe.

Raman jerked on the couch when a pillow hit him straight in the face. He looked up to see his fuming madrassan glaring at him with narrowed eyes.

-What?

- You are so insensitive! You...you are...

Irked, she threw another pillow in his direction but Raman ducked just in time to save himself.

-That's what you think! I look like a buffalo in pink?

- What? When did I say that?

- Oh god! You were not even listening to what I was saying!

Sensing the crime he had just committed unknowingly, Raman immediately rushed to his wife's side for damage control.

- I am so sorry Ishu...I was engrossed in that file and...

- VERY WELL. Keep yourself busy in it only Mr Boring CEO. Because as from now, I am sleeping with Ruhi...till further notice.

Raman made an attempt to come closer to her but Ishita immediately pushed him away with her hand.

- Stay right there Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla.

She jumped out of the bed, took her pillow and the red quilt and moved out with a "Good night" in between greeted teeth.

*flashback*

Raman inhaled deeply and mentally coerced himself to stay calm and think of ways to pacify his crazy and khatarnak biwi.

Tapping his forehead...

"How?... Raman soch..."

Minutes later...

Why didn't he think about it before? The person who had put him in this fix would have to help him out. He immediately dialed the number and waited.

"Hello Raman?"

"Bala 24!!" Raman croaked. "I need your help. Kal raat tumhari saali ne phir se meri band bajaa di."

Bala chuckled and asked the reason for his call and chuckled louder after he got the answer.

- You need to help me out. YOU are responsible for this in a sense. YOU told me to always nod and say yes when the wife pesters us.

- But I didn't tell you to agree to... To compare her with a buffalo. Come on Raman, no man, I repeat NO MAN, can dare such a stunt.

- I didn't Bala. I was not listening that's all.

- Ok! Don't worry. We'll find a way. I know how to fix these Iyers women.

The two men finally agreed that there was only one way to pacify the Jhansi ki Rani. And that was...ATTENTION.

With his chin and chest high, Raman stated in a firm tone - If she is crazy, then I am as crazy as her. She wants attention, she will get it!

He left the office with a smirk ready to show his wifey that he was everything but boring.

...Later at night, in Bhalla's flat, in IshRa's bedroom.

- Where are you going Ishita?

- You know our sleeping... arrr...range...ments

A look at him, standing with that killing dimpled smile was enough to evaporate all her anger and annoyance.

And then he was looking so cute with a sign in hand - Do not disturb! The CEO at work!

- Should i hang it outside, on...the door? And yes btw where is the yellow Chaddi you bought me?

She giggled.

The sound of her laughter was enough to send his heart racing.

He grinned back at her and took two steps forward to pull his wife to him to give her all the attention she was craving.
