STRANGE
"Laxmi Iyer...kya ladki hai yaar...!"
(Laxmi Iyer...what a girl!)
Raman threw himself on the bed spreading his hands looking upwards dreamily. Abhi sat on the bed placing the pillow on his lap to further inquiry. Asking him to describe the girl for the nth time Abhi laid down tired of not getting any reply. Raman felt that Abhi is annoyed. So he tried to cajole him.
Raman: "Sorry yaar...main...vo...I'm sorry"
Abhi: Teasing him, "Ek Iyer ladki ko dekha...itna jaldi laddu bangaya.. .? To tum agar meri Ishita ko dekhega na...tera to gaya.."
(You fell flat seeing an Iyer girl? If you see my Ishita you're gone)
Raman: "Oh chodo yaar...Ishita...Ishita...
(Leave yaar)
(Making faces) kaisa naam hai! Merivali ko dekh...LAXMI...Vaise dekhne main bhi Laxmi se kam nahi!"
(What kind of a name! See my girl...Laxmi...just like Goddess Laxmi)
Abhi: "Toh batao kaise dekha? Kahan dekha?"
(Then tell me how did you see? Where?)
Raman: Dreamily, "Vo aam..."
(That mango)
Stoping the talk midway he looks at Abhi and asks, "What you got to do with it?"
Abhi: Astonished, "You always tells me! What's the big deal?"
Raman: Sternly, "For a change...I WON'T SHARE about HER WITH YOU"
Abhi: "Why are you acting strange?"
Raman: "What strange? I'm the same man"
Abhi: "Toh kya yeh Laxmi ko bhi...?"
(So what you want this Laxmi too?)
Raman: Angrily, "That's the limit Abhi...It's not like that. I did't think of that till now. It's just that some things can't say straight...I hope you understand"
Abhi: "So she means more than what you feels for other women..."
Raman: "More! In your dreams"
Abhi: "At least it will...in my dreams"
Raman: "Leave it yaar..."
Abhi: "Ok...cool! What's your plans for tomorrow?"
Raman: "Nothing special..."
Abhi: "Then let's go for shopping?"
Raman: Frowning, "Sometimes you sounds like girls...! (Mocking) I'm getting scared of you"
Abhi: "Ladki dekhne keliye hai"
(To see girl)
Raman: "Oh...that's it! Ishita right?"
Abhi: "Yeah...I hadn't seen her yet. She goes for shopping tomorrow. Uski Amma ne bataya dha jab morning dekha dha"
(Her Amma told me in the morning)
Raman: "Tum toh pura work out kiya. Lagta hai bechari ko nahi chodnevala..."
(You worked it out completely. I think you won't leave her)
Abhi: "NEVER"
Raman: "Vaise... I was thinking..."
Abhi: "What?"
Raman: "Nothing... Baad main..."
(Some other time)
Abhi: "Toh shopping?"
Raman: "No yaar"
Abhi: "But I want you to come with me"
Raman: "Biwi hun main tera? (Imitating him) I want you to come with me. Jaa darpok"
(I'm your wife? Go you coward)
Abhi: "This is too much Raman."
Raman: "Yeah whatever..."
NIGHT AT IYERS
"Enna pannitten Miku...!"
(What have you done Miku?)
Ishita closed her mouth with her palm and widened her eyes in shock. Mihika acted cool immersed in gaming candy crush. Ishita snatched the mobile and threw it on the bedside table asking her to face her. She showed her hand as if asking her to stop talking and walked away. After a few minutes she appeared with her laptop. Ishita started her questioning for which Mihika stared at her making her silent. Then she showed her some news and images regarding the Great Raman Kumar Bhalla's FLINGS as if showing the eighth wonder of the world.
Mihika: "Akka...I know everything about him. You know I'm the admin of ANTI-RAMAN KUMAR BHALLA group in facebook. He is such a jerk. Jaise ap soch rahe hai, vaisa nahi hai voh admi. He is a playboy."
(It's not like what you think)
Ishita: "It's his personal life and it clearly doesn't justify your behaviour Miku. It's between you and Mr Bhalla. You shouldn't have brought me in this rivalry."
Mihika: "Ok then see, I did it because I caught him staring at your...(stammering) staring at you."
Ishita: "So what? Kitne log gurkar dekhte hai...it's not a big deal."
(How many people stares)
Mihika: Irritated, "Pehale apko saree pehnna chodna chahiye..."
(first you should stop wearing sarees)
Ishita: Angrily, "What's you got to do with Raman Bhalla and my saree...(Suddenly realising something) Don't tell me that he...(Standing up and touching her waist and breast which she felt he must have seen) saw my..."
Mihika: Pointing a fingure at her, "Exactly"
Ishita:(Making faces like she is about to vomit) "Chee...chee..."
Mihika: "Socho kitna besharam hai voh!"
(How shameless is he?)
Ishita: "It's my entire fault...I'd have been conscious about my dressing and the surrounding..."
Mihika: "Toh uska galti nahi?"
(So he's not wrong?)
Ishita: "Anyone would have did what he..."
Mihika: Annoyed, "You can't insult me like this akka!"
Ishita: "Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Insult?"
(What are you saying?)
Mihika: "Ok listen...joh hua soh hua...ab ap meri saath dogi. Promise karo"
(Past is past. Now you have to be by my side. Promise me)
Ishita: "I'm always with you. Batao kya promise?"
(What promise?)
Mihika: "Ap ko acting karni padegi"
(You have to act)
Ishita: In shock, "ACTING...?????"
Mihika: "Ayyoo...chup hojao akka...meri matlab yeh hai ki apko Raman Bhalla ke samne Laxmi banna hoga"
(Shut up akka. I meant you should act as Laxmi in front of Raman Bhalla)
Ishita: "Is that possible? Kab tak chalega?"
(Till when?)
Mihika: "Amma ne bataya ki voh yahan two weeks keliye aya hua hai. Toh tab tak karna hoga."
(Amma told that he will go after two weeks. So till then)
Ishita: "Phir kabhi ayenge toh?"
(If he comes again?)
Mihika: "Ok contract main kuch changes karte hai. Uske jaane se pehale main khud batayengi. Tab tak ap ekdam chup!"
(Changes in the contract. I myself will tell him before he goes. Till then you should be silent)
Ishita: "Haan...yeh convincing hai"
(This is convincing)
"So it's a deal!" Mihika took her akka into a tight hug.
Mhika's thought: "See Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla...I will show you what a woman can do...You're not going to go without learning to respect woman. GAME ON."
MORNING AT BHALLA HOUSE
Raman was pacing tensely in his room. He was feeling restless all through the night for no reason. He didn't slept a split second. Whenever he closed his eyes he could only see one thing which he can't say to anyone. And now he don't even want to eat anything.
RAMAN'S POV
Why the hell I'm feeling this restless?
I've seen a lot of women! That too...crap...then what's in just a waist?"
I'm getting mad at myself for acting strange
"Lagta hai voh kamarband use nahi karti. *sigh* Use karti toh aur khubsurat lag jaata"
(I think she doesn't use waistband. It'd look more beautiful if she use it)
Why am I thinking this way?
I dont want to think about it, but time and again I'm at the same point.
What's wrong with me?
"Aur kal toh kuch zyada hi ajeeb se behave kiya dha...Abhi se toh main kuch nahi chupata...lekin Laxmi ke barein main kuch bhi nahi bataya."
(And yesterday I've acted so weirdly. I never hide anything from Abhi, but didn't share bathing about Laxmi)
That's really strange.
So strange.
I'm feeling something strange when I think about her.
Why in the world is that woman this much overpowering?
No one did this to me.
She is making me insane.
It's true that I want to have... Yes, it's purely physical.
"Ek kamar itna kar sakte hai toh pura..."
(If just a waist could do this much then the whole...)
I smacked my head feeling ashamed of myself for the first time.
No woman's thoughts made me feel like this.
I felt like killing myself to think about her in that way.
I wanted some fresh air.
Finally...thanks to Abhi for the shopping plan.
*************************************************
THE SHOPPING MALL
Unlike the Raman Kumar Bhalla, Toshi's lovely son enjoyed his shopping and hauled around seeing anything and everything as if he is coming to a mall for the first time. He wanted to forget what his mind is overworking from the last evening. For the first time he was feeling strange whenever he tried to check out some random girl. The WOMAN WITH THE TEMPTING WAIST, time and again came running in his thoughts. So he decided not to look at any woman until that temptress stop refraining his sanity.
He saw Abhi walking to the entrance in search of his dream girl and he called him from behind. Abhi waved his hand to Raman to go on with his shopping which he obliged without any problem. Abhi stayed near the entrance faking busy in his mobile to get a glimpse of her. What he didn't know was she is already in.
Ishita was talking to Mihika by her mobile to inform her that she is at the mall. Mihika told her to stay there as she will be there in ten minutes. Raman and Ishita passed by without noticing each other. After some time, both of them decided to go to the top floor to see trendy items. Both of them got into the lift without noticing each other. Raman asked her without turning back, "To the top?" and pressed the button after hearing a yes from her. It was then when he turned to her that they realised the other one whom they are being with, alone, in the lift. Raman was casual though he was hell nervous inside.
ISHITA'S POV
I felt like I'm drowning to death when I saw him. That too in the lift. I felt like I had done some great SIN in my last birth that brought me TO HIM.
The moment I saw him I began to fidget with my shopping bag. That damn thing slipped out of my hold and made it all the more difficult for me. All this while he was staring at me. But I couldn't read his expression.
"No one can read someone's expressions without looking into their eyes!"
Yes, I couldn't meet his eyes. He made me nervous. No one made me this nervous before.
He came forward with a helping hand and bend down to take my shopping stuffs. I couldn't REJECT HIS HANDS. Precisely I wanted him to look somewhere else than scrutinising my body. He was sending shivers to me. I thought Mihika was right. But then, I'm not getting ANGRY AT HIM. That's Strange...
He stood up and made me hold my shopping bags as I was too numb to do it myself. I felt his gaze shifting to my waist. I closed my eyes tight not wanting to see his eyes. I'm scared of HIS EYES.
He came close to me which made me loosen the grip on the bag. I walked back tensed while he came along interlacing his hands in mine. He brought his face close to mine when we were ended up in a corner. I felt his right hand withdrewing from my left one and reaching out to my waist. He began to stroke my waist gently while his face found its way into the nape of my neck. He left feather like kisses wetting my neckline and shoulders, never taking off the hand from my waist and continued to caress my belly. I let moan and opened my eyes in a jolt to see him standing in an arms distance with my shopping bags.
HELL OF A DREAM!
*************************************************
Raman: "Laxmi...may I call you that or prefer 'Miss Iyer' instead?"
Ishita: "It's OK. You can call me Laxmi."
Raman: "Your bags"
Ishita: "Thank you"
Raman: "I want to say something?"
Ishita: Nervously, "Haan..."
Raman: "Actually... I wanted to apologise to you"
Ishita: Knowing well what he means, "But why?"
Raman: "It's... Yesterday... I'm so sorry for checking you out"
"What the hell was that! I'd been APOLOGISING TO A WOMAN, for checking her out! That's strange
