Chapter-36
DIL SAMGHALJAA ZARA [PART-2]"I want to see your tummy...now!"
Ishita's eyes popped out listening to Raman. He casually asked her to remove her saree making her uncomfortable. He didn't look at her face after asking so. But his focus was on her stomach which moved up and down when her breathing got hitched.
"Ap bas meri tummy dekhna chahte ho?" She asked in a weak voice reflecting her sadness.
(You just want to see my tummy?)
He replied that his only concern is to see his favourite spot and left for their bedroom after gesturing her to follow him.
"Subah se kya kuch kiya...! Use bas tummy dekhna hai. Mujhe aur...meri chehre tak nahin dekha." She cried looking at the direction of their room.
(What all I did from the morning! He only want to see my tummy. Didn't look at me and my face)
"Agar mein pregnant nahin hoti toh? He is only care about the baby." She thought.
(What if I didn't get pregnant?)
Caressing her stomach she said, "See baby...papa mama ko kaise ignore kar rahe hai..."
(See how papa is ignoring mama)
Walking to the bedroom she prepared herself to ignore him and show him what he wants. She reminded herself not to lose her self-control under his gaze.
She opened the door and locked it behind her. After taking a deep breath she strode towards him who was looking at her with a blank expression. He was sitting on the bed; lips pouted showing how miffed he is.
She stood in front of him boldly. Her midriff facing him. Slowly she unpinned the pallu letting it fall down exposing her upper part. He smiled slyly looking at her face. Her eyes tight shut and hands fisted. His hands flew slowly towards either side of her waist.
She took in a breath and stayed quite without breathing when he grabbed her towards his face. His hot breath fanned her icy skin. She was a lost case when his lips lingered in her skin while mumbling some unexpected.
"You gave my favourite spot to the baby. Ask our baby to come soon...so that...I can take you for myself."
Tears flowed down her shutted eyes while she wounded her hands around his neck making him sunk his face in her stomach.
"I'm always yours Raman...and...you can still make me...yours..." She whispered while taking in his closeness.
"You stopped me this morning." He mumbled against her navel while trying to break the proximity.
She forced his head to stay close to her cold skin and replied, "Ruhi was about to wake up. She was stirrling hearing those smoochy sounds Raman..."
"Is that so...?"He asked tinghtening his grip around her. She hummed in reply whilst he made her sit on his lap. Tugging back some loose strands he cuddled her more closer and hid his face in the nape of her neck.
"Pata hai...tum pehali baar mere god mein kab baite dhe?"
(You know when you sat on my lap for the first tim?)
"Raman...voh unexpected dha..."
(It was unexpected)
"Haan...main bhi toh expect nahin kiya dha...And...it was real." He hugged her tight.
(I too didn't expect)
FLASHBACK
"Akka...ap unke office aajana...Main vahan wait karti hun...Mihir ke paas."
(You come to his office. I'll wait there with Mihir)
Mihika blushed while informing her akka about the fixed meeting between her lover and akka.
It was past 3 O'clock that Ishita reached the Bhalla's headquarters. She walked in expecting only Mihir and Mihika but got irritated to see the entire staff present there.
"Ayyo Murugan...toh voh Ravan Kumar bhi hoga yahan...Aarrrgh...not again...!!!" She muttered under her breath and walked towards the visiter's waiting room.
(Ravan will also be here!)
Same time, Mihika was stuck in traffic block while Mihir asked Ishita to wait for ten minutes till he completes a presentation until then Mihika will also come which she politely complied.
"Ye koyi jagah hai aise meeting rakhne ka! Workaholic people!"
(Is it a place for such a meeting!)
Meantime, in the conference hall, Raman got irritated with Romi's careless presentation and talk. He got angry on him in front of the other deligates.
"Sorry boss..." Romi said softly and Raman declared a ten minutes break. Mihir tried to intervene saying that the break can be taken after his presentation. But Raman asked him to be in the conference hall and prepare well not to spoil everything like Romi did. Mihir was in dilemma while Romi who already knew the side business promised him that he will manage Ishita and Mihika.
Raman stood near the doorway checking his macbook. He stopped a haste Romi who was about to open the door to leave.
"Abey...kaha jaa rahe ho?" Raman crinkled his eyebrows.
(Where are you going?)
"Bhai...voh...mera ek...do...dost hai...joh mujhe wait kar rahe hai..." He stammerd.
(I've one...two...friend...waiting for me)
"Ek-do dost? Voh kya dost hai?" Raman raised his eyebrows.
(1-2 friend? Who's that?)
Romi wiped off the sweat from his face thinking of a way to manage the situation. Raman felt something fishy and asked Romi to stay with Mihir and he will treat his special guest. Romi was dead watching both his brothers glaring at him for different reasons.
Sametime, Ishita was enjoying the view of the city from inside the glass window of the visiting room. She played with the curtain and wrote her name in the glass which was a little blurry because of a light shower.
Raman came and sat on a sofa just behind Ishita who was in a corner. He didn't saw her because of her off-white saree and the off-white curtain.
Ishita walked backwards still looking at the landscape while Raman got alert hearing the noise of her anklets.
"Madrasan...!!"He wondered in his mind and closed his eyes not wanting to believe it. Ishita who lost her balance while walking back fell on his lap. The unexpected fall made both of them scream aloud.
"Oh...moti madrasan...!!!My legs and everything has gone...!!!" He cried out loud angrily.
"You creepy man...chup chupke kya kar rahe dhe?"
(What were you doing sneakily?)
*******************************"You creepy man...chup chupke kya kar rahe dhe?" She pulled his nose repeating the past dialogue.
(What were you doing sneakily?)
The sweet romantic moment was broken by the ringing of Raman's mobile. He talked to Ashok happily while snuggling Ishita closer. She rested her head on his chest to hear his heartbeats while he kept on talking to Ashok.
"Aaj hum lunch Ashok ke saath karenge" Raman declared after disconnecting the call for which Ishita nodded a yes kissing his cheeks.
(We'll do lunch with Ashok today)
IN THE RESTAURANTAshok was unusually chirpy for Ishita but it was the normal Ashok before six years which only Raman know. She got along with their buddy talks after a good fifteen minutes.
"You know what Ishita ji..." Ashok's words cut short by Ishita asking, "Ji? Kyun?"(ji? Why?)
Raman grinned while eating looking at Ashok. Ashok cleared, "Arey saale sahib ki biwi ko naam se todi pukar sakta...!"
(I can't call brother-in-law's wife by name)
"I...I forgot" Ishita said silently making the men's faces down.
"Sorry Ishita ji...apse isne sab kuch chupaya...aur main bhi kuch nahin bataya..." He tried some damage control.
(He hide everything from you and I also didn't tell)
She shook her head indicating that it doesn't matter now but Ashok knew that she is still mad at them for lying to her.
"Mera aur Raman ka bachpan se dosti hai..." He started making Ishita look at Ashok while Raman signed Ashok to go on.
(We are friends from childhood)
TO BE CONTINUED...
PRECAP
"Voh Raman...main...mujhe...I Love Shagun a lot..." Ashok didn't expect the slap which followed his declaration.
(That Raman...I...me...)
