Raman caressed her face lovingly and said- I won't let u go back to those darkness ever jaan.u r the light of my life and will always shine like my bright star.saying so he lovingly kissed her forehead. She snuggle closer to him and slept again.
That's when his phone rang.he picked it in a jiffy not to disturb her.it was mihir.
Mihir-where r u bhai.u left all the meetings suddenly. Is everything alright.
Raman- not exactly but I will make it good.
Mihir-what happened.
Raman narrate him everything and said- I did too wrong with her.now I want to correct my mistake.I think I should take some days leave.
Mihir-ok bhai,I will take care of the business. But I need ur guidance it will be good if u can come to office once in a week.
Raman- let's see what we can do.for now,ishita is my priority. Bye for now mihir.
Mihir-bye bhai,take care of bhabhi.
Raman- I will,saying so he hung the call.he came out of the bed placing her head gently on the pillow.she was sleeping like a small baby keeping her hand under her head.he smiled seeing this and kissed her softly.
He sat on his study ,and was thinking how he became so ignorant towards her and start remembering the time when he met her for the first time .
Flashback
Raman was newly appointed at the marketing head in iyer group of companies.he was very happy and excited as Mr iyer was a well known business man.
One day Mr iyer's pa was on leave.and he has to go for an urgent meeting so he took Raman along.though it wasn't his work but Raman was more then happy accompanying him.Raman use to idolize mr iyer.
They were in the meeting when a girl early twenty came inside the conference hall.she was wearing a purple tee with blue denims.her hair was tied in a pony,she was wearing little diamond earrings,richness and elegance was oozing out of her.Raman was lost in her.she was cute,beautiful, elegant and what not.
She was standing when Mr iyer took her aside and said- what r u doing here ishu.
Ishita- u told me that we will have lunch together.
Mr iyer- I am in a meeting .can't u see.just go, we will have dinner together.
Ishita- its my birthday appa.can't I expect some time with u at least today.she said with moist eyes.
That's when Raman realised,she is the ishita iyer.only daughter of Mr iyer.he look away realising he don't have any right to see her also forget loving her.but couldn't see her moist eyes.he so wanna wipe her tears but touching her is something beyond her.he is just an employee of her ,among one of her thousands of employee.
Mr iyer took out his credit card and said- go and shop ishu.we will celebrate ur birthday in a grand way after winning this project in the evening.
Ishita- that will be ur celebration party appa.not my birthday party.and I don't need ur card but yr time.
Appa- don't create a scene here,my clients r waiting.
Ishita- I am also waiting appa.she said with tears in her eyes.
Appa- ishita go.he said sternly.
Ishita ran from there crying.Raman felt bad seeing her crying but can't do anything as he was with Mr iyer.
Appa-shit,she must be crying.Raman do one thing,take this card and accompany her to shopping.
Raman- me sir.
Appa- yes u.go and accompany her.but remember u r her employee. She is ur boss.
Raman nodded and went out of the conference hall .he was happy that he can spend some time with her and can try to bring a smile on her face.he went out and saw her crying sitting in the garden.
Raman- kya faiyda aise paison ka joh kisi ke hothon pe muskaan naa paye(what's the use of so much money if it can't bring a smile on someone's face).saying so he went to her.she was sobbing silently. He sat beside her.she wiped her tears and said- today appa send u.but I don't wanna go shopping.like I do to everyone, u r free.go and enjoy ur day.I won't tell anything to appa.at least koi toh khush rahe.
Raman kneel down near her and said- no I will not go.but if u will allow me I can make someone happy.
Ishita look at him and said- I don't get u.what do u mean.
Raman- I mean ,its ur birthday naa.can I celebrate it.if u want only.
Ishita- why u r doing this.for increment, for promotion. Sorry I can't help u in that.I can only give u today's off.
Raman- no,I am not doing this for increment or promotion.I am doing this for making a princess smile.I don't she lost her beautiful smile somewhere.
Ishita smiled a little hearing this.
Ishita- u really wanna do this for me,only me.
Raman nodded in yes.
Ishita- okay,let's go.saying so she was going to her car when he said- sorry ma'am.but car cant enter the place where I wanna take u.the roads r narrow.can u please come on my bike.
Ishita- where we r going.
Raman- let it be a surprise.
Ishita- okay,she was excited like a kid.
Soon they were on the streets of Delhi on his bike.she was smiling coz its her first experience of sitting on a bike.Raman stopped at a cafe and said- u know its the best cafe here.we generally celebrate our birthdays here only.I know its not up to ur standard,but I can afford this only.he said looking down.
Ishita- so what.it will be a nice experience. I never got a chance to visit such cafe.the ambience is so calm .let's get in.
They went inside and found that there was already a birthday party going on of a kid.
Raman- sorry its full.now what to do.
Ishita- how do u know this place.its inside the street.
Raman- actually, my house is near by.
Ishita- wow lovely,then take me to ur house.
Raman- u wanna go to my house.he said hesitantly.
Ishita- why ,u don't wanna take me to ur house
.badi khadoos biwi hai kya tumhari.
Raman blushed and said- meri toh shaadi bhi nahi hui( I am not yet married).
Ishita- ohh sharmile kumar,then what's the problem. Take me to ur house.
Raman- its not for u ma'am.its very small.just one bhk.
Ishita- so what.u don't wanna take me home naa.
Raman- nothing like that ma'am.I would love too.please come.
Ishita- OK but before that stop calling me ma'am.call me ishita.aap bade hai mujhse.
Raman- OK ishita.he said smiling.
Soon they were in front of his house.he open the lock and took her inside.it was a nice small house,beautifully arranged. He made her sit comfortably.
Ishita- very nice house Mr bhalla. I must say,it didn't seem like house of a bachelor. Too beautiful, chota sa ,pyaar sa.
Raman- its Raman not Mr bhalla. Be comfortable, what u like to have,tea or coffee.
Ishita- I think coffee will do.but I will make it.only if u don't mind.actually I never get a chance to get into kitchen in my mansion.
Raman- its very small ma'am.
Ishita- phir se,we r friends naa.u r the first person who want a genuine smile on my face.toh him friends hue naa.so stop calling ur house small and me ,ma'am.OK.
Raman- OK ishita.let's go .u can make. I will assist u.
Soon they were in kitchen,ishita was making coffee while he was giving her whatever she was asking for.
Raman- I think I should order something to eat.aren't u feeling hungry.
Ishita- why to order.I will make something.u know I love cooking.but appa never permitted me to enter the kitchen.he said its not good for me to enter the kitchen being Mr iyers daughter.but today I will live all my wild fantasies in ur kitchen.hope u won't mind.she said smiling.
Raman- not at all.OK u make something.I am just coming.if u r comfortable to be alone for sometime.
Ishita- I am very much comfortable, ask ur house.is it comfortable for ur house.she said chuckling.
Raman smiled and said- my house is more then comfortable with ur presence.saying so he went out while ishita was busy in making something.
After half an hour ,he entered his house to see,his kitchen was in complete mess.she was sitting on the floor ,the whole batter was on her expensive outfit.she was almost in tears.
Raman rush to her and asked-what happened.
Ishita- I can't do anything properly. With much effort I made a batter to make pakoda.but sab mere kapde pe gir gaya.Maine itni mushkil se pyaaz kaata tha.meri ungli bhi thodi si cut gayi.she said innocently showing her finger.
Raman smiled at her cuteness and said- its OK.u go and wash it.I am cleaning the kitchen.but let me first apply some ointment on ur wound.
Ishita- no,its not paining.but my efforts got wasted.
Raman- OK then go and clean urself.washroom is on that side.
Ishita nodded and was going when came back and said- what I will wear.she said blinking her eyebrows like a cute doll.some besan(gramflour ) was on her face making her look more cute.
Raman wiped it with his finger and said- u go and change into my bathrobe.don't worry,its washed.till then I arrange something for u.
She nodded and went to the washroom.he went out to buy some cloth for her.he was thinking what to buy as her one outfit was more expensive then his one month salary.after doing much calculations ,he buy a dress worth 10000 for her.it was in his favourite colour blue.he was smiling thinking her in this dress.
He went back to his house and saw her sitting wearing his bathrobe. Her long hairs was open and she was busy in drying it.Raman was mesmerized to see her.his trance was broken when ishita said- Raman aap gaye.
He felt embarrassed getting caught ogling at her.
Raman looked away and said- I brought this dress for u.sorry couldn't arrange anything better.
Ishita- its more then OK.
Raman went out so that she can change.she take out the dress and saw its price tag.after that she wear it.
Raman came in after she called him.he made her sit and take out a small cake he brought for her.put the candles and said- happy birthday Ishita.
Ishita was so happy to see this.she blows the candle and cut the cake.he sang a birthday song for him while she fed him.he too fed her.she hugged him and said- thanks for everything.
Raman forwarded a red rose and said- sorry couldn't gift u anything else.
Ishita took it and said- its more then enough.actually noone ever done this for me.thanks so much.saying so she hugged him again.he reluctantly hugged her back.
That's all for now.enjoy and don't forget to hit like button and leave ur valuable comments. Will wait for it.
