Chapter 7
[Log Kehte Hai Paagal...Hoon Main Yeh Bhi Na Jaanu
Dil Lutaya Hai Maine...Ab Kisi Ki Na Maanu]
"Bhai it will take some time"
"What do you mean time? You had 12 hours between last night and today"
"I know but that's not enough. How am I supposed to know everything about her in a night especially when you even want to know about the hospital she was born in" Mihir sighed "Give me 3 days; it'll be done"
"I can't wait three days Mihir"
Mihir watched his boss as he paced across the room time and again. He looked super pissed off; what was so important about this woman that he took so keen interest in her, he wondered.
"Bhai are you sure this is about Ruhi?" Mihir asked with caution
"Of course, what else would it be?" Raman answered, but Mihir could see that Raman wasn't meeting his eyes. That clearly indicated there was a twist in the tale and Mihir was so ready for this, he grinned at his own thoughts.
"Why the hell are you ginning? Two days, that's it, I need her entire bio data here on my table"

He didn't like what he saw as soon as he entered his colony that day. His daughter was once again in the arms of that crazy women; they seemed to have the time of their life laughing and jumping. His heart did a flip, his daughter was so happy. Her smile reached her eyes, he couldn't move his gaze away from that happy smile of her. Should he stop her from meeting Ishita? Ishita didn't seem like she was pretending, considering the fact that that they didn't know that he was here.
He wanted his daughter to be happy, even of that meant letting Ishita near her. He would have to keep a close watch though, he would kill her if she harmed her.
Ishita let out the breath that she was holding as he left the playground. She half expected him to come shouting at her but he didn't, that surprised her indeed.

"hello, Ravan Kumar" she winked before settling herself next to him on the bench.
"What are you doing here?" he didn't seem angry, it was as if he expected her to drop by, anywhere and everywhere. Her presence didn't surprise him anymore.
"Stalking you of course" she drew the shawl closer to herself "This night is so cold, you shouldn't be out here"
"cold" he smirked humorlessly "just like me isn't it?"
"Do you always talk like this or am I the only special one at the receiving end everytime"
"No, I hate everyone basically but I guess I hate you more"
"See, I told you I was the special one" she grinned
He couldn't help but smile at that "Yes you are. I don't like suspense and confusion and at this moment you are both"
"awww how can I see my love in so much of confusion. Don't you think I should do something to help him?"
His brows kinked in irritation " Stop using that word"
"Which word?" she asked smiling
"that word that I don't believe in" he said getting up to leave
She pulled him back "I will say that till time you start believing in it" "Anyways like I was saying, I should help you"
He turned to face her with curiosity "what's the catch? I'm sure you are not telling that so easily"
"awww you know me so well" she pretended to cry "I could almost cry in happiness"
"point ki baat karein" he said
She made a face and said "fine, so I'll give you a clue"
"go on"
"You know who I am"
"What?" he looked confused
"You know me and you would love to know this that you have a very high regard for me" she winked grinning
He took time to digest the information "That's impossible"
Ishita laughed at his confusion "Told you, you would love to know this"
"Whatever" he said and for the second time, he got up to leave
"Come-on Mr Bhalla, you can't go like this" she said, holding him back again
He turned and gave her a murderous expression "What do you want now?"
"Remember you promised me something last night" she enquired with a naughty smile
"I remember promising you that I'll get you off my back" he replied
"ow that hurts" she said dramatically "but that's not what I'm talking about, I meant certain lessons that you were supposed to teach me" she batted her lashes and grinned
He got angry as realization hit him "I thought you were just plain stupid but guess what you are shameless also"
"Oh really what about it when you go around sleeping with all those page 3 women out there? Don't you ever think that I read newspapers?"
He took steps towards her and she moved back as much as the bench would allow her to; he placed both his arms on either side of the bench caging her within. He could see fear in her eyes "Did I ever refuse the allegations? I am what I am. And Yes I'll sleep with as many women I want. They throw themselves at me and I have no issues in accepting their offer"
She took a deep breath and calmly looked into his fiery eyes "I am throwing myself at you too, why don't you accept my offer?"
