Main hoon Ishita, Ishita Raman Bhalla aur aaj main aapko sunane jaa rahi hoon ek kahaani...haan haan jaanti hoon mujhe lecture dene ki aadat hai aur aap soch rahe honge ki aaj kya naya hone wala hai
Par aaj kuch toh naya hone wala hai...aur woh islie kyunki aaj ek khaas din hai...khaas kya behad khaas
Aaj hai meri wedding anniversary...!!!
Nahi baba first nahi hai...first hoti toh main kahaani thode na sunane baithti...apne pati ke saath shayad humare second honeymoon par hoti...lekin aisa nahi hai...aaj humari shaadi ko ek nahi do nahi teen nahi pure cheh saal ho gaye hain
Unbelievable lagta hai na...mujhe bhi...unbelievable bhi aur stressful bhi kyunki log shaadi ke saalon se umar ka bhi toh andaaza laga lete hain
Khair kuch toh log kahenge logon ka kaam hai kehna unhe chod dete hain philhaal
Main wapis aati hoon apni kahani par...jaanti hoon aap sab log bechain hain meri kahaani jaanne ke liye islie jyada intezaar nahi karaungi...aur waise bhi mere paas jyada time bhi kahan hai...mujhe aap logo ko kahani sunake ready bhi hona hai...6th hai toh kya hua anniversary toh hai...second honeymoon nahi toh kya ek romantic si outing toh hai
Aur is se pehle ki mere pati aa jayen aur mujhpe apna gusse wala pyaar barsaayen main jaldi se aapko suna hi deti hoon
Toh bas chaliye suniye aaj meri kahaani meri hi zubaani

Jaanti ho Ishita is duniya mein sabke liye koi na koi toh banaya hi gaya hai, my friend's words kept repeating in my ears continuously from the time my Amma told me about someone coming to meet me today.
(Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Is Jahaan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye)
Kya sach mein bhagwan ne mujh jhalli ke liye bhi kisi ko banaya hoga...kaisa hoga woh...kya woh meri hi tarah jhalla hoga...ya woh apne jaadu se mujhe badal dega...ek behtar insaan bana dega...kya hum humesha ek saath rahenge...kya hum ek dusre ko pyaar kar payenge
I was lost in my trance until Mihika came in my room to take me along. I was brought down and made to sit in front of the special guests for the day.
I looked around with shy eyes but didn't find even a glimpse of what my eyes wanted to see.
Aapki Ishita mujhe bahut pasand hai aur mujhe pura vishwas hai ki mere bete ko bhi aapki beti bahut pasand aayegi, a lady in her fifties commented.
Maine toh suna tha bhagwan humen ishaare deke humari madad karta hai...par yeh kaisi madad thi...jiske saath shayad mujhe apni aane wali puri zindagi guzaarni thi woh mujhse milne tak nahi aaya tha
I was not angry or hurt but disappointed. I had expected a cliche filmy scene where I would meet my special someone, we would fall in love while stealing glances at each other, have a grand engagement, few months of dating and then a grander marriage.
But nothing of this sort happened. Maybe because this wasn't a film but real life...!!
That day our mothers had almost finalized our alliance. And our meeting was just a formality so that we didn't complain later.
Hi...I am Raman Kumar Bhalla, a man introduced himself to me.
Hi...I am Ishita Iyyer, I replied reluctantly.
Toh chalen, he asked forwarding his hand.
He was a stranger to me and yet I found him the most trusted man. I knew nothing about him and still I thought he was an open book. I had never touched any male outside my family but I held his hand immediately when he forwarded his hand to me.
And all these actions were not intentional but automatic from within.
Shayad yahi woh jaadui ishaara hai jise sab bhagwan ji ki madad ka naam dete hain.
(Tera Milna Hai Us Rab Ka Ishaara Maano
Mujhko Banaya Tere Jaise Hi Kisi Ke Liye)
We sat on the terrace of my house and did nothing but looked at each other silently. And that exchange of looks told us that we were the only one made for each other.
(Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta)
There was no good reason for us to be together. We were two completely different humans, brought up distinctly and yet we were just perfect for each other.
(Kaise Hum Jaane Humen Kya Pata
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta)
After that one meeting of ours, the series of our infinite meetings started.
Sometimes we would catch up for shopping or coffee dates and so on. And why wouldn't we do that. We had 11 months to wait for before getting married after all.
But those 11 months actually proved to be beneficial for us as we got to know so much about each other.
And finally the wait had ended on today's date 6 years ago when we entered a new life, a new world.
He made me his and himself became mine and we found everything in each other.
The day we became "us" from "you" and "I" we gained eternal bliss.
(Tu Humsafar Hai
Phir Kya Fikar Hai)
That was the perfect happy ending of our story.
But no actually...it was not an ending but a new beginning.
We were living on this earth for so many years but had got the life now, after being together.
(Jeena Ki Wajah Yahi Hai
Marna Isi Ke Liye)

Kya hua...aapko kya laga tha main koi romantic si kahaani sunaungi
Arre arre naaraz mat hoiye aap log...romantic hi toh hai meri unromantic si kahaani aur waise bhi abhi toh kahani bas shuru hui hai...puri honi toh baaki hai na
Hain toh anginat moments batane ko par mere pati kehte hain ki aise moments aapas mein hi ache lagte hain...unhe flaunt nahi karna chahie...nazar lag jaati hai...islie har ek pal toh aapko nahi bata paungi sorry
Bas itna samajh lijiye ki pichle 6 saalon mein jitne bhi lamhe guzre, har ek lamha mujhe ek khoobsurat yaad de gaya...
(Meherbaani Jaate Jaate Mujhpe Kar Gaya
Guzarta Sa Lamha Ek Daaman Bhar Gaya)
Raman ke sang har ek pal sunder hai...har ek dard suhaana hai aur har ek din jeene laayak hai
(Tera Nazaara Mila Roshan Sitara Mila
Taqdeer Ki Kashtiyon Ko Kinara Mila)
Ab peeche mudke yaad karti hoon toh lagta hai ki jo saal Raman ke saath nahi bitaye woh toh zaaya hi chale gaye...zindagi toh unhi ke saath shuru hui, unhi ke saath chal rahi hai aur un par hi khatam hogi...ab bas koi chah hai dil mein toh sirf yeh ki zindagi jaisi chal rahi hai waisi hi chalti rahe...kabhi ruke na kabhi thame na kabhi badle na
(Sadiyon Se Tarsi Hain Jaise Zindagi Ke Liye
Teri Sauhabat Mein Duaen Hain Usi Ke Liye)
Dekhiye na aap logon se baat karne mein main itna kho gayi ki waqt ka andaaz tak nahi raha...Raman aate hi honge aur main ghum rahi hoon is gandi si saree mein...waise toh khair woh kehte hain ki main chahe jo pehnun unhe achi hi lagti hoon par mera taiyaar hona toh banta hai na
Phir aaj hum bahaar bhi toh jaa rahe hain...islie aap log zara rukiye main taiyaar hoke aati hoon...aap log bhi toh chalna chahenge na humari outing par...haan Raman ko shayad pasand na aaye par aap log chupke se aa jaana...Raman ko main sabse jyada pyaar karti hoon par aap logo ka dhyaan rakhna bhi toh mera farz hai na
Toh final raha aap log bhi saath chal rahe hain...ab thodi der ke liye bye...mujhe room mein jaake taiyaar hona hai...wahan mat aaiyega mere peeche peeche...that is my personal space
Time pass ke liye tab tak aap log mera favorite gaana sun sakte hain
(Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kaise Hum Jaane Humen Kya Pata
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta)
----------o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lo main aa gayi ready hoke
Kya hua aap logon ko...aise ghoor ghoor ke kyun dekh rahe hain mujhe
Oh samajh gayi main...aap log soch rahe honge main kehke gayi thi ki taiyaar hone jaa rahi hoon par aa toh bas saree change karke gayi
Arre nahi nahi abhi taiyaar hona baaki nahi hai...main bas itna hi taiyaar hoti hoon...mere a ji o ji ko main aise hi achi lagti hoon aur ab toh mujhe bhi aise hi rehna acha lagne laga hai...simple and sober
Main toh taiyaar ho gayi par yeh kahan reh gaye
Tumne bulaya aur hum chale aaye, his voice reached my ears making me blush exactly the way I used to blush 6 years back on hearing his voice.
Kaafi der laga di aapne Raman...main toh kabse aapka wait kar rahi thi
You look so beautiful; he ignored my complaint and complimented me excitedly.
I lowered my eyes out of shyness just like I did on our first night when he had praised me for the first time.
Yes before that he never said anything to me because he thought one should only compliment his lady and not anyone else.
Aaj bhi tum waise hi sharmati hoon jaise 6 saal pehle yaani 2190 din pehle yaani 52560 ghante pehle yaani 3153600 minutes pehle matlab 11352960000 seconds pehle sharmati thi
He shocked me with his math calculation and more than the calculations, his love.
It is true that we are celebrating our wedding anniversary today but it is also a fact that each second out of those 11352960000 seconds was no less than a celebration.
I celebrate my life daily and it is all because of him. His mere presence makes a normal day so special.
Arre kahan kho gayi, he brought me out of my trailing thoughts.
Nahi toh kahin nahi...ab bataiye na aage ka plan kya hai...jaise aapne kaha tha main toh ready ho gayi par ab karna kya hai
Aage ka plan bhi bata dunga par us se pehle jo batana hai woh toh batane do, he spoke while coming close towards me.
Tum bahut jyada hi sunder lag rahi ho aaj...i love how you haven't used any makeup, he pecked my eyes.
(Na Kajre Ki Dhaar)
And I love you for not wearing any jewelry as it gives me easy access; he winked before giving me a wet kiss at my neck.
(Na Motiyon Ke Haar)
He checked me out from top to bottom increasing my nervousness as if baring me from his eyes. And so unable to absorb his scrutinizing gaze, I closed my eyes smiling a little.
And that gave him a chance to smirk as he knew how he always affected me the same way.
Bas yeh jo mere naam ka tum sindur lagati ho yahi tumhe itna sunder bana deta hai ki kisi aur cheez ki zarurat hi nahi reh jaati, he kissed my forehead.
(Na Koi Kiya Sringaar)
Sunderta toh dekhne wale ki nazar mein hoti hai Raman warna main toh wahi aam insaan hoon
Sahi kaha...meri nazron mein tum hi tum basi ho islie mujhe pata hi nahi sunderta kaisi hoti hai...mere liye toh bas tum hi ho
(Phir Bhi Kitni Sunder Ho
Tum Kitni Sunder Ho)
---------------------------o---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raman atleast kuch toh bataiye aap mujhe kahan laaye hain, I asked impatiently.
Darr lag raha hai kya mere saath chalne mein, he taunted in his usual tone
Nahi Raman darr nahi but atleast I should know where are we heeded to...ek toh yeh aapne mujhe blindfold kiya hua hai...ab kam se kam kuch bataiye toh sahi, my patience gave up.
Bas paanch minute ruko aur hum wahan pahunch jayenge, he tested my patience again.
He had told me "5 minutes more" 5 times already in past 20 minutes but neither those 5 minutes nor this road on which we were walking was ending.
Raman bas na baba...main thak gayi hoon...anniversary par yatra wali feeling aa rahi hai, I showed my talent of one liners which I had learnt from him in the past years.
Acha hai na yatra karo phir prasad milega, he replied me in my tone.
But Raman, I blabbered.
Bas Ishita we are almost there, he said and finally opened the blindfold.
I opened my eyes slowly blinking my lashes once or twice because of the sudden light. It was dusk already but still there was some light left before the darkness took over completely.
And what I saw left me pleasantly shocked.
Raman yeh
Haan Ishita yahin celebrate karenge aaj hum humara special din, he finally broke the surprise to me.
We were standing close to a lake's end in an empty jungle and all I could see around was nothing but a customized tent house.
Happily stunned I went close to the tent house and found it decorated exactly the way our room was decorated on our first night.
Same choice of flowers, same simple and elegant arrangement, exactly the same fragrance and surely the very much similar us...!! Even though our sizes have changed a bit now.
Tum hi kehti ho na 6 saal ho gaye par kuch nahi badla toh maine socha kyun na woh din woh raat ek baar phir se jeelen
We entered inside the tent house holding each other's hand happily and zipped it from inside allowing no disruptions.
Happy Anniversary to us and we love each other, we said before hugging.
We don't say I love you. We love each other is our way of expressing love and we are so proud of it.
Waise ek baat batao, he asked
Kya pucho na
Tumne aisa kuch expect kiya tha kya, he indirectly asked me to comment on his surprise.
His big ego I tell you. Yeh nahi ki seedhe seedhe puch len
Nahi Raman aisa kuch toh definitely expect nahi kiya tha...i thought ki maybe hum shayad dinner par chale jayenge aur kya, I honestly confessed.
Pata hi tha mujhe ki tum mujhe underestimate karogi but madam don't you know your husband is unique in your language and a little off in other's language.
Yes yes I know tabhi toh main kehti hoon ki mere husband bestest hain
Jaanti ho Mihir ko maine rough idea diya tha apne plan ka...woh bola ki bhai idea toh acha hai bas thoda elite bana do ise...champagne wagarah ka arrangement karo
Toh kahan hai arrangement
Yahan, he pointed at my lips before consuming them.
(Tere Hoonth Hain Madhushaala)
We never believed in gifting each other. These small moments of love were the only gifts we gave each other. And such gifts didn't wait for special occasions. We showered each other with such gifts each and every day.
Raman ek baat puchun, I asked him while settling down on the bed which was neatly setup on the floor.
Haan pucho na, he looked at me.
Yahan thoda andhera nahi hai...matlab lighting honi chahie thi na thodi...abhi raat ho jaegi toh
Shhh...tum ho toh kaisa andhera, he said and lighted a small candle in one corner of our room for the night.
(Tu roop ki hai Jyoti)
Unconditional love, endless pampering and never ending warmth...all these were the added bonuses I had got along with an adorable husband and I could not thank my stars enough for giving me what I had.
He had many shortcomings but perfect for me just like I was for him. Because we covered up for each other's imperfections and made ourselves perfect.
He had made my life special and worth living it. And today when I had another surprise to note in my diary, it was now my turn.
Raman aapko kuch batana tha, I started speaking when he came back to settle on the bed after lighting that candle.
Bolo na, he concentrated all this attention on me.
Aise nahi aise...ab bataungi, I made myself comfortable in his arms
Ab toh aa gayi na apni position mein, ab bolo kya bolna hai, he embraced me in his arms.
Raman koi aane wala hai, I finally said biting my lips.
Koun Ishita...yahan koi nahi aa sakta...yeh jagah maine kisi ko batayi hi nahi, he acted like a fool.
Arre Raman samjho na...aane wala hai ya main kahun aa chuka hai bas humare beech aane ki der hai, I played with words nervously.
Mujhe na kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai Ishita...please saaf saaf kaho...yeh badi buri aadat hai tumhari sab uljha uljha ke kehne ki, my impatient husband started getting irked already.
Kya Raman...aap toh na kuch bhi ishaare nahi samajhte ho...kisi ka aapko badi besabri se intezaar tha kaafi dino se...ab finally woh aane wala hai, I tried hard to convey my message to him.
Koun Ishita tum seedhe seedhe naam bol do mujhe samajh nahi aa raha...aur ek minute...yahan hum itni dur kya yeh paheli paheli khelne aaye hain...jaldi batao and then let's not waste time.
Raman naam kaise bataun abhi...woh toh mujhe bhi nahi pata, I started giving up.
Arre o pagal aurat, he came in his usual form leaving the goody avatar.
Aapne kaha tha aaj ke din mujhe pagal aurat nahi kahenge, I pouted faking some anger.
Ok sorry par please bata do na koun aa raha hai, I am really losing my cool.
Aap papa banne wale ho, I said in a go not giving him enough time to even take in those words.
Aap papa banne wale ho, he repeated my words before his lips curved into a wide smile and his eyes twinkled with tears of happiness.
Ishita sach mein, he looked at me and so I just nodded in return.
Oh my god I love you I love you I love you, he repeated those words infinite times while hugging me tight.
His "I love you" were not just words but feelings; pure and lovable.
And a part of him present inside me made me pure and complete. The room was filled with the fragrance of our love and the music of our talks.
(Ude Khusboo Jab Chale Tu
Bole Toh Baje Sitaar)
Only we knew what this happiness meant to us.
Each day passed was pretty and the upcoming days were going to be prettiest.
With lots of dreams in our eyes and our hearts filled with hopes, we dined together and then gave ourselves to each other.
There was no cake cutting, no selfie session and no cheesy love.
We were just being ourselves and that was the best. We were, are and will always be beauty'.
