What a lovely update... looking forward to RKB's surprise and his reaction to it.😊

Next morning, on their way back,

Ishita: (Slowly) Raman... Jage hue ho na? Gaadi chalaate hue sona teek nahi hai...

Raman: Bahut jyaada gusse mein hoon... Mujhe aur irritate mat karo...

Ishita: Nayi baat thodi hai... Phir bhi, kyon?

Raman: Ishita... Stop...

Ishita: Kya Raman? Itna perfect birthday nikla... Phir bhi kud kud kar rahe ho...

Raman: What the...Tumse gussa karke kya faayda? Mere naseeb hi kuch aisa hai... Tumhe Delhi se Madras lekar aaya holiday manane ke liye... Poore khaandan chipak gayi... Phir mushkil se ek din iss long drive ka mauka mila... Usse bhi meri pyaari behna Skype mein aakar cheen liya...Aur kitne door bhaagna padega yaar... Jab mujhe baat karna hota hai, tab hamesha bhaag jaati thi... Bhaiya, exam... Bhaiya, lecture ka time ho gayi... Bhaiya yeh Bhaiya woh... Lekin, kal raat ka muhurat nikaala din kharab karne ke liye... Actually, raat... Na sone diya na romance...

Ishita: (In a low voice) Aapke dimaag ek hi jagah pe hatak gayi toh Rinky ko kya blame karna?

Raman: What?

Ishita: Continue karo...

Raman: Aaj subah tumse kaha kuch der yehi rukte hain lekin tum... Conference jyada important hogayi...

Ishita: Raman... Jhooth bologe toh kaua kaatega... I mean...Jab se aayi hoon, tab se kaam kam baaki kuch jyada kar rahi hoon... Aaj ke din toh jaana padega na... I mean, Chief guest aa rahe hain...

Raman: Koun? Ek aur dentist?

Ishita: Nahi... Koi CEO aa raha hai...

Raman: CEO... Conference... (In a low voice) O Teri...

Ishita: Haan... Pata nahi CEO ko kyon bulaaya? Shayad kuch general discussion hoga... You know... Yeh ethics and stuff... Or management of hospital... Pata nahi koun bore karaane ke liye aa raha hai aaj...

Raman: Bore... Jaise tum bade interesting baatein karti ho hamesha...

Ishita: Kisi aur ke liye mujhse kyon lad rahe ho?

Raman: Kisi aur... Haan... Mere jaise ek bechara CEO hai... Main hi defend nahi karoonga toh koun karega...

Ishita: Whatever...

Raman: (Thinking) Bewakoof biwi ho yaar tum... Main aa raha hoon vahaan... Do din se keh raha hoon ki kisi conference mein chief guest banaya mujhe aur mujhe jaana hai... Phir bhi bhool gayi... Chalo usse bhi chod dete hain lekin kisise Chief guest ka naam tak nahi poocha...Haan, maine bhi nahi poocha ki kounsi conference hai... Teek hai... Dono hi bewakoof hai... Kal poore din mujhe surprise kiya ab tujhe tumhari conference mein aakar main tumhe surprise doonga... Acha hua mere naam ka hoardings rakhne se manaa kar diyaa...

They drove in silence and reached home at 8 a.m. to be greeted by Mihika.

Mihika: Good morning...

Ishita and Raman: Good morning...

Saying so, Raman went inside...

Mihika: Akka... Yeh kya? Sirf jeeju naye kapde mein hai... Aap wahi purane kapde mein ho. Sirf apne liye kharida jeeju ne? Very bad...

Ishita: Nahi budoo... Saree bag mein hai... Saadi pehankar thodi aa sakthi hoon... Isliye change kiya maine...

Mihika: Itne tired kyon ho akka? Jeeju bhi tired hai...

Ishita: Raat bhar so nahi paaya... (Seeing Mihika's smirk) Gandi bachi... Rinky se baat kar rahe the... Skype mein...

Mihika: Kya? Kya akka? Jeeju ke saath waqt bitaane ke liye bheja aur aap phirse kharab kar diya...

Ishita: Main kya karoon?

Mihika: Kuch karna chahiye tha... Aise kaise kharab hone diya aapne? Chaliye... Andar chalte hain...

Ishita felt sad on listening to the same.

Ishita: (Thinking) Mujhe laga Raman hi over react kar rahe hain...Lekin, Miku bhi wahi keh rahi hai... Mein bhi hadd karti hoon... Ab Raman ko manana padega... Yeh toh Siddu se baat kar raha hai... Let him come to our room...

Ishita: Chithi... Ruhi kahaan hai?

Sowmya: Mere room mein Ishu... So rahi hai... Tum kamre mein jao Ishu... Appa tumhe aise sleeveless mein dekhenge toh... Kal se chupa rahe hain iss baat ko...

Ishita: Ya...I'll go...

In a minute's time, Raman came back to their room...

Ishita: Raman... You were right... Main aaj conference ko bunk kar doongi...

Raman: Kya? Tum pagal ho gayi?

Ishita: Pehle mere jaane se problem ho raha tha... Ab na jaane ke wajah se... Aapko bi-polar disorder hai kya?

Raman: (Thinking) Kya kar rahe ho Raman? Chill... (To Ishita) Mera matlab... tum busy thi isliye maine bhi appointment fix kar diya...

Ishita: Kaise? Telepathy se?

Raman: What?

Ishita: Pehle bike mein mere saath aa rahe the phir Siddu se baat kar rahe the... Kab fix hui?

Raman: Neeche Siddu se baat kar raha tha... Seedhiyaan chadte waqt free tha... Tab fix kiya. Tum itna sawaal kyon kar rahe ho yaar? Tumhe hi pehle jaana tha...conference mein...

Ishita: Aapse baat karna hi bekaar hai...

Raman: (Thinking) Isse distract karke rakhna hai... Aise kaise chalega... (To Ishita) Ishita... Sorry yaar...

Ishita: Yehi aadat hai aapka... Pehle chillavo phir bas ek sorry bolkar aasani se manaa lo...

Raman: Samaj lo satak gayi... Maafi de do yaar...

Ishita: Satak gayi? Yeh Mumbai wala slang ajanak iss Delhiwale bande ke muh se kaise aa raha hai?

Raman: Tumhare cousins se baat karna ka asar. Waise bhi main kuch saal wahi kaam kar raha tha na...

Ishita: Haan... Bhool gayi...

Raman: (In a low voice) Thank god... Isse bhi bhool gayi jagde ko bhi bhool gayi...

Ishita: I'll go warna late ho jaongi...

Raman: Ya...

Both of them got ready and got into their respective car to reach the same destination... On the way, Raman calls Ishita...

Ishita: Hello... Raman. Kuch bhool gaye kya?

Raman: Ajeeb aurat ho tum... Aise normally baat karne ke liye phone nahi kar saktha hoon kya?

Ishita: Normal baat... Aap mujhse karna chahte ho? Kya baat karoge? I mean abhi abhi 15 minute pehle aap mujhse keh rahe the ki ek poore din mere saath rehkar bore hone ke baad aaj chutkaara mil gaya... Ab baat karna hai?

Raman: (In a low voice) Hamesha ki tarah taane maara aur phas gaya... (To Ishita) Main mazak kar raha tha yaar... Waise bhi tumhare alava kisse baat karunga?

Ishita: Oh... Mere alava kisiko Hindi nahi aata isliye apne boredom door karne ke liye mujhe use kar rahe ho... Selfish...

Raman: (Self talk) Nakhre dekho iski?

Ishita: Instigate kiya aapko phir bhi silent ho... Anyways, Main phone rakthi hoon...

Raman: Pahunch gayi kya?

Ishita: Haan... Bas, conference hall ke andar jaane wali hoon.

Raman: Tum school mein thodi ho... Baat karo na yaar...

Ishita: Raman... I should not use my phone here. That's a strict rule...

Raman: Rules are made to be broken... Don't you know that?

Ishita: School mein punishment milega toh teek hai lekin yahaan...

Raman: Itni buddu ho na tum... Bluetooth use karo na... Kisiko pata nahi chalega...

Before Ishita could answer back, one of her friends greets her...

Friend: Hey Ishita...

Ishita: Hey Aditi...

Aditi: Kal enjoy kiya?

Ishita: Yes... It was good.

Aditi: Is that your husband on the line?

Ishita: Ya...

Aditi: Finish it soon... Chief guest aa raha hai... Top CEO... Lekin, Apne naam ka hoarding tak rakhne se bhi manaa kar diya... So simple na...

Ishita: Yes... That's really nice...

Raman: (Listening to this conversation) Arey meri ma... Tareef karte karte mere surprise kharab mat kar do Aditi... Just leave...

Ishita: Ok Aditi... I'll join you in a minute...

Aditi: Sure...

Ishita saw that more and more of her peer community people started coming in and takes her Bluetooth out.

Ishita: Raman... Ab phone rakho... Main baat nahi kar sakthi...

Raman: Tumhare chief guest ke aane tak toh baat kar sakthi ho na... Aditi ko tumne bhej diya?

Ishita: Aditi...

Raman: Tumhi na bulaaya aisa... Hindi mein baat kar rahi thi na...

Ishita: Haan...Mumbai se hai...

Raman: Bade tareef kar rahi thi uss CEO ki...

Ishita: Haan... Aapko jalan kyon ho raha hai Mr.Raman Kumar Bhalla...

Even when Ishita was saying the last words, same words resonated in the hall... "The man himself, Mr.Raman Kumar Bhalla, CEO of PSR companies..." Ishita turned around to look at her husband walking amidst the cheers of the crowd gathered there... He didn't catch her eye while walking past her leaving Ishita a bit disappointed. He climbed on to the dias and cheerfully held the mic...

Raman: Hello...

His voice resonated in the hall and it resonated in her ears once again through the Bluetooth. Ishita noticed that there was one in Raman's ear too...

Ishita: Mr.Bhalla... Baat mein niptungi mein... Ab phone rakhti hoon...

Raman smiled once again before occupying his seat... Meanwhile, other ladies around Ishita starts gossiping about him...

Aditi: Hai...Main satte jaawan... Kya smile hai? Yeh bhi Punjabi hai... Naam suna tune...

Another girl responded to Aditi whose name was still unknown to Ishita...

Another girl: Maanti hoon ki tum Punjabi ho lekin iska matlab yeh thodi hai ki tumhara chance bright hai... What if he's married?

Aditi: Kya? Aisa nahi ho saktha... Chup kar...

Another girl named Deepika joined them.

Deepika: Kaash mein Delhi mein hoti... Kahan Bangalore mein phas gayi...

Aditi: Delhi... Ishita is from Delhi... Ishita, you know him? I mean itna bada CEO hai toh...

Ishita who was feeling jealous and proud of Raman was suddenly pulled into this conversation...

Aditi: Ishita... You know him right?

Ishita: Yes... Actually...

Deepika: Ofcourse... You told that your husband is a businessman. Parties mein dekha hoga na?

Ishita: Haan... Woh...

Another girl: Lucky girl lekin married ho... Single nahi...

Ishita understood that they'll never let her complete her sentence and turned back to concentrate on the meeting...

Deepika: Oh Ria... (Ishita got to know that the girl's name is Ria) Even you are married. Sirf main aur Aditi yahan single hai... Iss poore conference mein...

Ria: So what? Yeh toh time pass hi hai...

Finally, Raman was called on stage...

Ishita: Deepika... What's he going to talk about?

Deepika: Actually...who cares? Woh bas stage mein rahe toh hi kaafi hai na... (Sensing Ishita's stare) Ok ok chill... Actually, there's no topic. Delhi se aaya hai itna bada insaan toh bas unhe aise bulaya... Shayad professional ethics ke baare mein baat karega. Else, aise bas greet karke chala jayega. Who knows? But I have heard that he's a thorough professional.

Ishita: Woh toh hai...

Deepika: Sorry?

Ishita: I said thanks...

Deepika: You are welcome...

Raman slowly raised from his seat and positioned himself before the mic...

Raman: Hello everyone...

Ishita: (Thinking) Hello Raavan kumar...

Others responded in a dull tone.

Raman: I know that its difficult to sound energetic when fear envelopes you about the impending lecture... (Finally catching Ishita's eye) but I'm not here to give any... So, Hello once again...

This time, the response was better...

Aditi: Iss taraf dekha usne... Did you see that?

Deepika: Please... Everyone maintains eye contact with their audience. Kya bachon jaise behave kar rahe ho?

Raman goes on...

Raman: Thanks for that... Well, I think there is one question running in the mind of every single person present here. What is this man doing here? Well... I don't have the answer too... But, strangely, I have a connection with this place... (Ishita raised her brows) A very strong connection... I am not going to leave this dias without revealing that connection (Ishita finds herself flushing red) but before that, I have to clarify something. Mr.Thiagarajan who spoke before me quoted that I am someone who puts my business before everything... Infact, he said that I have said this on some stage that this is the first step towards success but today, I want to correct it... To ensure that no one takes the wrong route ever. Infact, I realized this much later but this is the secret of success. A balanced life... Raman Kumar Bhalla whom I knew before eight months will never recognize this man standing before you today. I was someone who was leading life by dividing my time into smaller chunks of 15 minutes. Right from getting up till hitting the pillow at night, everything was timed in my machine life... It was like living inside a pressure cooker. (Soft laughter was heard among the audience) I climbed on this staircase towards success. I was successful and leading a content life till I met one angel. She came into life when it was filled with darkness to enlighten it...

Aditi: Gosh... Heard that? He has a girl in his life...

Ishita was blushing hard when Raman went on...

Raman: While she was my angel, I was a Raavan in her life...

Ishita was blatantly shaking her head...

Ishita: (Self talk) No Raman...Not that...

Raman: Well... I meant that I was nothing less than a devil in her life. We kept on hitting each other. And every time, she questioned my every single principle that I was abiding by. She kept on reminding me that family has its own importance in every individual's life and I just continued opposing her. But, she was right. She taught me the art of living. Old Raman Kumar Bhalla didn't know the proper meaning of a holiday. I didn't know that I can breathe without checking my mail after every five minutes. I didn't know that the waves washing the shores have a pleasing rhythm. (Ishita smiles) But, she taught me every single thing... Today, I am not only successful but I'm happy too... Its just one life... And even youth comes once...Just once... While going up, never miss out to enjoy your life to the fullest... This is my revised statement and I would like to thank my wife, once again on this stage for giving colours to my life...

Deepika: Yeh lo... Wife... Shaadi bhi ho gayi... We need to enlighten ourself about these tycoons too...

Raman: And finally, I want to reveal my strong connection with this crowd. (Ishita felt her heart rate increasing) My wife belongs to your community. She's a dentist. Infact, I met her properly in her clinic for the first time... There started this star crossed lovestory... Today, she's sitting silently in that corner after helping me find my lost soul... Mrs. Ishita Bhalla... The only reason why I'm here... Before this crowd...

Aditi: Ishita...Ofcourse... Ishita Bhalla... How did I miss it out...

The three girls around Ishita was totally flabbergasted by the sudden turn of events. Infact, every single head was slowly turning towards Ishita... Murmurs were heard everywhere... Raman's voice gathered their attention again...

Raman: While we work to earn our living, you people live to serve this society. There has not been a day when I have not felt proud of my wife... I feel privileged to be here. Keep up the good work on... Thank you everyone... Have a good day...

The sound of claps showed that everyone was enticed by Raman's charm. After the end of the meeting, even before Raman could descend downstairs, everyone started surrounding Ishita like bees swarming around the flower... Some of them were feeling proud while some were accusingly questioning her... Ishita was desperately waiting for someone to rescue her when Raman intervened.

Raman: Hello everyone...

Aditi: Hello sir... Oh, you want to talk to Ishita...mam.

Ishita was astonished to hear that and understood that they are trying to cover everything that happened before the revelation. Deepika joined in.

Deepika: I think that's enough. Let us leave them alone.

Finally, they leave that place giving some privacy to Raman and Ishita...

Ishita: What was all that?

Raman: Kyon? Surprise dene ka copyright sirf tere pass hai kya? Waise bhi, yeh sab mera confession speech tha...

Ishita: Confession speech?

Raman: Haan... I wanted to tell this before confessing my love lekin tum...Shagun aur Mihir ko beech mein lekar aa gayi aur topic drift ho gayi. Isliye socha iss baar iss speech ko grand scale mein doon... Toh bas, aa gaya.

Ishita: Woh wala speech bhi acha tha... I enjoyed it... From the first meeting... Romantic tha... Mere liye aaya yahan pe...

Raman: Program was already there lekin confirm kiya tere wajah se... Else, I wanted to cancel it. Koun lecture dega yeh ethics and profession ke baare mein?

Ishita: Raman... Koi sun lega. Abhi abhi good boy banne ka natak kiya aapne...

Raman: Toh kya kaha Aditi ne?

Ishita: Kabhi nahi sudharoge na...

i got the first place...

I got 2nd place
