..... THE NANNY........ Chapter 67-68 Pg 107* UPDATED last part* - Page 61

CHAPTER SIXTY ONE

Ishita walked in and the whole Bhalla living room had changed. She could barely recognize it understanding that whomever they heard hired knew what they were doing. Everyone who was anyone was there and she knew she had to do an amazing job at making sure she wasn't recognized. When they walked in, she convinced Jai to go to the poolside with her and he obliged.

They got there and almost all the Bhallas were hanging out there. She looked up and saw Santosh something that just made her pissed and she didn't want to cause any more trouble so she tried to turn and leave only for

'Ishita...'' Ruhi called her forcing her to turn

'Oh My God you came... I thought papa was deceiving when he said you would...'' She added

'Hey Chirpy... I missed you...'' Said Ishita

'I missed you too...'' Said Ruhi

'Where is grumpy'' Said Ishita

'He is around here somewhere...'' Said Ruhi

'Hello Sir...'' She added looking at Jai

'Hey how are you...'' Said Jai

'Am fine thank you...'' Said Ruhi cutely

'Should you really be down stairs Ruhi...'' Said Ishita

'No... Mihir is actually coming to pick us up...'' Said Ruhi

'Where are they taking you'' Said Ishita

'Grandpa is taking us some place... ' Said Ruhi as she pulled Ishita down whispering in her ear

'I think Papa doesn't want us to be at the party... It is for grownups...''

'Oh I see...'' Said Ishita chuckling and Ruhi nodded her head

'I have to go Mihir is looking for me...'' Said Ruhi as she looked behind Ishita causing her to turn

'Alright... Have fun...'' Said Ishita looking at Ruhi

'You too and please... Be here when I get back...'' Said Ruhi

'I can't promise that but I will try...'' Said Ishita

'Good... Bye... Bye Sir ...'' Said Ruhi as she ran off

'Bye...'' Said Jai as he smiled

'Ishu thank God... You left your keys with me...'' Said Shlok who bumped into them

'Oh hey...'' He added looking at Pratik

'Hey...'' Pratik answered

'What keys...'' Said Ishita as she took them from him

'Oh God yeah... House keys... Good Mr. Bhalla would have killed me...Thank you...'' Said Ishita

'No worries...'' Said Shlok as she moved away

'House keys...'' Said Pratik

'Yeah... They have a copy of very room in this house... Or so I was told. I never use them but it is paramount that I keep them safe...'' She said placing them in her purse

'That cute little girl is Raman Bhalla's'' Pratik asked

'Yeah why...'' Said Ishita

'That has to be the cutest child I have ever seen...'' Said Jai

'Yeah you can say that again...'' Said Ishita as she turned only to see Raman had joined his mother and they both were staring at her

Ishita began looking around feeling guilty about what she was doing but she knew in order for it to work, she needed him pissed as hell. She looked back and she saw Santosh approaching her and she just wanted to avoid her so she tried walking back inside but she could tell, Santosh as well as Raman were walking back inside

'What is your job exactly'' He asked causing Ishita to turn and look at him

'I mean what exactly do you do for Mr. Bhalla'' Said Jai

'Nanny... I am the nanny...'' Said Ishita

'Wait... Really ...'' Said Jai pretending to be surprised

'Well yeah... Why...'' Said Ishita playing along

'No... It is just that when we met and you said... I just thought you worked at his office...I mean you were his date for the night and then this evening when I came to pick you up...'' Said Jai

'Say what you want to say...'' Said Ishita

'Are you two are thing...'' Said Jai and Ishita looked at him for a second or two before she said

'No... He is my very annoying boss, that is it'' Said Ishita turning as she added

'I need a drink...''

'Oh that bad huh...'' Said Jai as he saw her reaction

'Yeah something like that'' She said chuckling

'I will go get you one...'' Said Jai as he walked back inside

'Hey...'' Ishita called him and he turned

'Thank you for inviting me...'' She added as she smiled

'Are you kidding? My pleasure ...'' He said smiling and she smiled back

She could see from her peripheral vision that Raman had walked in and was staring at them and it was also blatantly clear, he wasn't happy

'Well either way... Thank you...'' Said Ishita as she walked to where he was putting her arms around him and hugging him and he reciprocated

'I will get you that drink...'' Said Jai as she let go and walked away

Priya and Pratik who were standing with Raman saw that and felt a bit sorry for Raman. Ishita was being brutal and she knew she had a hold on him. Raman can say whatever he wanted about how much it never affected him or how less he cared that she did whatever she wanted, but it was clear that was all a lie.

If it wasn't so depressing it would have been quite funny. Raman had spent the better part of 6 years since his wife died convincing everyone he was never going to settle down again or care about anyone like that. How he had had his time and didn't need anyone else until Ishita showed up. Pratik who had known him for years could tell he was second guessing everything.

I mean here was a 23 year old who was so sure of herself and so confident in her skin that sometimes one would forget she was actually 23 years old. The great RKB who didn't bow for anyone or cared about any other woman was here spinning because his nanny was sort of moving on. Ishita had all the power in this scenario, and she knew it

'What the... What is the matter with you...'' Said Mihika who had walked up to where Ishita was

'Nothing...'' Said Ishita as she turned looking at Mihika

'Ishu... Why are you doing this'' Said Mihika

'Mimi... I need you to please go back find Romi and bring him in here...'' Said Ishita

'Stop changing topics I asked you a question... You are not hurting anyone but yourself...'' Mihika began with her lectures and Priya knew she needed to come to Ishita's rescue

'No... No... No...'' Said Priya as she handed Pratik her glass and walked to where they were

'Mihika... I think Romi is looking for you'' Said Priya and Mihika turned looking at her

'Where is he...'' Said Mihika

'Outside I think...'' Said Priya

'We are not finished...'' Said Mihika and she turned leaving Ishita there really pissed

'Oh thank you...'' Said Ishita

'Don't thank me... What you just did was not necessary'' Said Priya

'Will you just allow me to do what I do best...'' Said Ishita

'Can you at least talk to him...'' Said Priya

'No... I can't...'' Said Ishita as she struggled not to look at Raman

'You know you can't avoid him forever... You need to talk to him sometime... Or better yet just tell him what you are actually doing'' Said Priya

'He doesn't need to know...'' Said Ishita

'Even though you're doing this for him...'' Priya began

'I can't focus if he is around so please just do as I asked...'' Said Ishita

'Whatever you say...'' Said Priya as she extended his hand and Ishita placed a phone in her hand

'You have around 10 minutes...He took my key and soon he is going to realize it doesn't open any room here...'' Said Ishita

'Got it...'' Said Priya and she walked back

'Is she alright...'' Raman asked as he kept on staring at her

'What...'' Said a somewhat surprised Priya

'I just want to know if she is okay that is all...'' Said Raman

'Uhh she is fine...'' Said Priya and with that Raman walked away

'Priya...'' Shlok called her walking to where she was and she handed him the phone

'10 Minutes...'' Said Priya

'Got it...'' Said Shlok and he walked away joining Varun who was waiting by the door

'Okay spill...'' Said Pratik

'What do you mean'' Said Priya

'I mean... Spill... What is going on?'' Said Pratik

'Nothing...'' Said Priya

'Oh please, Ishita just lifted his phone when she hugged him and your friends over there are going to hack it to try and unlock it... What is going on'' Said Pratik

'Hold on how did you... ' Said Priya

'See unlike Raman... I was actually paying attention. The Ishita that I met would never do that to Raman. Which got me thinking, something is up? Now I know that something did happen between them but this is a bit too much reaction from her so I don't believe she is doing all this to hurt him. The question is, why is she, doing this...'' Said Pratik

'Oh you're smart and gorgeous... That is quite sexy actually...'' Said Priya

'You're just figuring that out...'' He said playfully and she chuckled

'Come on tell me...'' Said Pratik

'I can't but I will say this, make him...'' Said Priya pointing at Raman

'Keep the faith...'' She added

'Yeah, Raman loses it easily so that won't be easy...'' Said Pratik

'I trust you can do it...'' Said Priya smiling

'Hhmm... And where in this plan of yours that I assume is going to involve craziness do I fit in'' Said Pratik

'What makes you think it is a crazy plan?'' Said Priya and Pratik turned folding his hands as he looked at her

'Okay it maybe a little crazy but still Trust me... Am sure you can take a leap of faith in me I am doing right by you all I promise...'' Said Priya

'Oh I trust you... You don't need to explain yourself to me'' He said clearly flirting

'Well thank you...'' She said and they ended up looking at each other longer than she should have

'Hey Pratik can I talk to you...'' They suddenly heard someone and they were brought back from their own little world

'Uhh yeah what's up...'' Said Pratik as she turned to Simmi

'Can I talk to you in private...'' She said

'Sure...'' Said Pratik turning to Priya

'I will go grab us drinks...'' Said Priya as she humbly walked away

CHAPTER SIXTY TWO

'I thought you were not talking to me'' Said Pratik as he turned to her

'That is not true...'' Said Simmi

'Really...'' Said Pratik

'Okay I am sorry... I was upset with you...'' Said Simmi

'Yeah but why... You were acting all crazy and that is not like you'' Said Pratik

'You were acting like I was not even there... You invited me to a party that you were not even interested in hosting'' Said Priya

'What is it with you and suddenly having a problem with my hosting. My parties have always been that way. People show up, have a good time and then leave...'' Said Pratik

'Well, I am not people... At least I thought I wasn't...'' Said Simmi softly and Pratik looked at her critically before he said

'Okay I am sorry...''

'No you're not... You seemed to be more interested in other things...'' She said looking at Priya

'Am sorry you felt that way, I however am not sorry for being interested in those other things...'' Said Pratik and Simmi turned looking at him

'You know she will disappear and I will be the one who stays...This always happens... You find someone and you become interested in them, then you dwell on that until you're bored...'' Said Simmi

'True but I don't know...'' He said as he looked at Priya as well who was talking to Ishita

'This one is different...'' Much to Simmi's irritation

'Ptttss please...'' Said Simmi causing Pratik to turn and look at her

'Hold on... Do I sense a hint of jealousy...'' He said amused

'Why would I be...'' Said Simmi

'Exactly my point... I wanna know why...'' Said Pratik completely amused

'Everything is just a game with you...'' Said Simmi shaking her head

'What are you saying... Get to the point'' Said Pratik

'I ...'' She began but Priya interrupted

'Pratik... There is a Mr. Deval on line... I am not sure why he is calling because he is freaking out and asking for his lawyer...'' She said handing her phone to him

'Oh God... Here give me that...'' Said Pratik taking the phone as he excused himself

'He is going to get bored...'' Said Simmi causing Priya to turn and look at her

'Excuse me...'' She said causing Simmi to wa3lkt o where she was standing in front of her

'He always gets like this... He finds someone new... Gets all excited and then once interest is lost and he gets bored, he dumps you faster than you realize... Like a kid with a new toy... That interests stays for just a while...'' Said Simmi and Priya folded her hands across her chest and said

'Are you saying Pratik is a man child...''

'No... ' Said Simmi taken back a bit

'Then...'' Said Priya

'You will become history like the rest of them...'' Said Simmi

'Am not so sure if you are telling me this to convince me or yourself...'' Said Priya completely cool something that pissed Simmi off

'You're still a young girl, go date people your own age... I don't see how moving around with a man who sleeps around all the time will do you any good'' Said Simmi

'Oh so he is no more a man child he is now a Casanova...'' Said Priya

'Am telling it as it is... I would have thought it would help you to...'' Priya began

'No... No... You're not telling me this to help... You are just being mean as hell... What surprises me is you are now insulting him and not me. I mean I would have thought talking smack about him behind his back was something you wouldn't do because he is your best friend. Ishita is mine and I would never be caught even imagine saying anything bad or anything that would question her character especially if it was in my own benefit. Also because no one knows her better than I do as she is my best friend... Maybe am wrong... But either way I am shocked you would say something like that about him to me. He really is your best friend right...'' Said Priya looking at Simmi who was so embarrassed she didn't have anything to say back

'Here you go...'' Said Pratik who walked to where they were handing back Priya's phone

'Everything alright...'' Said Priya turning to him and ignoring Simmi

'Yeah, he is just being overly cautious about his deposition next week'' Said Pratik

'Oh right...'' Said Priya

'So... What did I miss'' He said

'Nothing really... Simmi here was just telling me a few things about you...'' Said Priya looking at Simmi

'Like what...'' Said Pratik looking at Simmi

'Nothing... It was just girl talk...'' Said Simmi chuckling nervously

'Why do you seem nervous'' Pratik asked chuckling

'Why do you think I am nervous'' Said Simmi but Priya just sort of looked away not saying a thing

'Priya what did you do...'' Said Pratik

'Of course we blame the new girl on the block'' Said Priya

'That is not what I meant... You are very strayed forward, it is a bit off putting for most people so I assume you said something to her'' Said Pratik

'I so did not...'' Said Priya chuckling

'Hmm like I would believe that...'' Said Pratik smiling

'How come your clients are calling her'' Said Simmi who found their familiarity irritating

'She is my Assistant...'' Said Pratik

'Soon to be retired Assistant...'' Said Priya

'Yeah unfortunately...'' Said Pratik and Priya chuckled

'Why is that unfortunate'' Asked Simmi

'Because...'' Said Pratik pausing a bit before he added

'I am going to miss her...''

'Am sorry what...'' Said a surprised Simmi

'I am... She kind of grew on me...'' Said Pratik looking at her from head to toe before he added

'Plus she is pleasant to look at than Lucy...'' Ad Priya laughed

'I can't believe you just said that...'' She said

Simmi was looking at them not believing this was the same Pratik who always thought people who behaved this way were just annoyingly cheesy. And the most annoying thing was that he didn't even notice he was actually being those people they both loved to make fun of. He looked at this Priya girl different, even more different than the way he looked at her and that bothered her a bit

'Oh... Yeah ...'' Said Priya who saw Varun walk in

'I gotta go... Something came up...'' Said Priya as she tried walking passed Pratik but he pulled her back standing in her way

'Hang on... Where are you running off to ...'' He asked

'Varun... He needs me to do something...'' She said

'Wha... This is silly you keep on disappearing every 5 minutes and yet you won't tell me what is up... What kind of date is this supposed to be...'' He said and she looked at him

'I wasn't sure this was a date'' She said

'It kind of is...I did everything I was supposed to...'' He said

'Yeah except the most important part of it all...'' Said Priya

'Which is what...'' Said Pratik

'Ask me if I wanna go out on a date with you...'' Said Priya

'I brought you here to this very lovely event'' He said

'Yeah you said you needed someone from the company to be present with you. I am here to remind you of names you keep on forgetting'' Said Priya

'I... No... I mean... Come on... Cut me some slack... I am trying'' He said and Priya chuckled

All the while Simmi became nonexistent for them both. It was like they were in their own little world where everything around them just fizzled. This was the man Simmi always wanted but never saw. He was everything she wanted and it didn't sit well with her that this nobody of a girl Priya got that.

'Okay how about...'' Said Priya as she stepped forward, leaned into him bring her head forward close enough their noses almost touched.

Pratik just stood there not moving waiting and anticipating what it was she was going to do. She smiled a bit before she tilted her head placing a soft kiss on his cheek before she pulled back

'That is my reward to you for effort...'' She said

'Oh I can't complain then... Thank you...'' He said as he held her hand pulled her in placed his lips on hers running his other hand up to the nape of her neck

'Wha...'' Said a shocked Simmi who began looking around getting embarrassed

He pulled back looking at her as he bit his lower lip before he rubbed his lower clip with his index finger cleaning away the lipstick. She was blushing profusely and her cheeks had turned the color of burgundy. She had her fingers on her lips as if she couldn't believe he had just done that. Normally he would have worried about her reaction but he didn't because she had kissed him back

'That is my thank you...'' He said smiling

'Uhh... I need... I mean... Excuse me...'' She said blushing some more as she smiled before she walked away

Pratik turned and looked at her and couldn't help but feel like he heart was getting ready to burst. This was not normal, I mean he had kissed tons of women before but this one felt different. He watched as she walked away in that gorgeous sari and couldn't help but smile

'What the f**k...'' Said Simmi causing Pratik to turn and look at her

'Oh... Your still here...'' He mumbled

'Excuse me...'' Said Simmi

'Nothing... Why are you looking at me like that'' Said Pratik

'I can't believe you just did that much so here...'' Said Simmi

'Oh God chill out... You need a drink seriously you're killing my groove'' Said a clueless Pratik

'I don't...'' She began

'Come on... We will get something...'' Said Pratik as he too walked away

'Hey... Did you get it...'' Said Priya

'Oh hell no... I just saw that... Now try not to blush so much... Will you even understand what I am about to tell you...'' Said Varun teasingly

''Oh f**k off... Just tell me...'' She said chuckling

'Did you get anything...'' She added

'I will do you one better... The idiot brought his laptop and left it in his car... He had put it under the passenger's seat... You won't believe what I found...'' Said Varun

'Good... Did you make a copy...'' Said Priya

'Did I make... What do you take me for an amateur...'' Said Varun

'Fine... Where is it'' Said Priya

'Before I give it to you... Why is Baby G doing this...'' Said Varun

'Should it matter'' Said Priya

'It always matters...'' Said Varun

'She is doing it for him...'' Said Priya pointing at Raman who was talking to a few people

'Is he worth it...'' Said Varun

'Meaning...'' Said Priya

'You know what I mean...'' Said Varun

'Honestly, I do not know...'' Said Priya and Varun looked at her for a second or two before handing her the flash drive

'Hold on, how did you get into his car'' Said Priya

'Don't ask questions whose answers you won't like... Now bye I need to find my date and justify why I disappeared for an hour...'' Said Varun

'You know what to do with that...'' He added handing her the phone

'Of course...'' Said Priya and Varun walked inside

CHAPTER SIXTY THREE

Back with Jai, he had taken Ishita's keys from her purse not knowing he was playing right into her plans. Ishita knew he would want the fake keys to go look around that house. Sooner or later he was bound to find out those keys didn't open anywhere and she was running out of time. He came back inside with two drinks in his hands as he smiled at Ishita

'Oh there you are... Here... I wasn't sure what to get you...'' Said Jai handing Ishita the glass

'Thank you... Took you a while I hope everything is fine'' Said Ishita

'Yeah everything is fine...'' Said Jai

'Ishu... What do you think you're doing'' Priya asked pretending to be upset

'Priya right...'' He said looking at Priya

'Yeah whatever... What is that...'' Said Priya rudely

''Uhhh a cocktail why...'' Said Jai

'You're giving her alcohol... Are you kidding me...? Why the hell would you do that? Are some of the wires in your head not okay? What the f**k is up with you...'' Said Priya

'Okay calm down it is only a drink...'' Said Jai not getting her over reaction

'Only a... You're a f**king idiot...'' Said Priya and she had begun attracting attention

'Hey chill out...'' Said Jai as he came forward taking her hand

'Don't touch me... Are you crazy...'' Said Priya her hands on his chest and pushed him back

'Hey... Priya what is your problem...'' Said Ishita standing in between them

'I can't believe you...'' Said Priya

'Oh shut the f**k up... My God you're so irritating... Juts leave me alone already...'' Said Ishita and Priya teary eyed walked away

Ishita looked around and people had begun looking at them so she took Jai's hand and walked to the corner of the room with him leaving a somewhat dumfounded Bhallas Family

'This girl yaar...'' Said Santosh who had witnessed it all

'What is going on with them'' Said Romi who was standing with Mihika

'I have no idea...'' Said Mihika

Priya who had teary eyes turned and walked away as she wiped the tears that were causing her to have blurry vision. She walked to the bar and grabbed herself a drink.

'Priya are you alright...'' Asked Pratik coming from behind together with Simmi

'What...'' Said a calm Priya

'Are you alright'' Asked a concerned Jai

'Of course why wouldn't I be...'' Said a very calm Priya

'I just... ' Said Jai as he looked at her surprised

'You were almost crying a few seconds ago...'' Said Simmi looking at her like she was crazy

'Oh yeah that...It is all good...'' Said Simmi as she sipped her water

'Do I wanna know...'' Said Pratik

'Yeah but I won't tell you...'' Said Priya smiling and Pratik just shook his head

'You girls I swear...'' He said

'Oh God...'' Said Simmi as she walked away

Back with Ishita Simmi had done what was supposed to be done. She made sure that that phone was back in his jacket where it was in the first place. So when she put her hands on his chest and pushed him, she slid the phone in his jacked within the scuffle that he didn't even notice it.

Everything had been set and it was time for Ishita to play her cards right. I mean it was up to Raman to do whatever he wanted to do but she was going to make sure that she gave him a piece of her mind.

'Your friend is crazy...'' Said Jai as he stretched out his jacket

'Yeah... I have heard I am a tad crazier...'' Said Ishita calmly as she looked around the room

'Meaning...'' Said Jai

'I hate it when people play me, in fact I loathe people who try and take advantage of me. I mean at least have the decency to allow me make my own mind up whether or not I wanna help you rather than trying to play me... I hate that'' Said Ishita

'What the hell are you talking about'' Said Jai but Ishita just turned and looked at him as she held her purse in her hand

'What... We were having such a great time, what happened...'' He added

'You forgot to put my keys back in my purse...'' She said

'What...'' He said surprised

'My keys... They are in your left pocket... I want them back...'' Said Ishita sternly and he could tell she wasn't the same woman he had picked up a few hours ago

'Okay listen I can explain...'' Jai began

'Don't bother I already know why you wanted them... Although I have to say you are the dumbest spy I have ever met. I mean how on earth you can believe that Raman can give me the key to his house is baffling. Why on earth he do that...'' Said Ishita chuckling

'Raman... Now it is Raman and not Mr. Bhalla...'' He said realizing she was playing him the entire time

'Actually it sometimes Grumpy, sometimes Boss, sometimes Mr. Bhalla especially when I am pissed but right now, it is Raman... You understand'' Said Ishita insinuating and he was getting it loud and clear

'You bitch...'' Said an angry Jai

'Uhh come on... I haven't even told you want I did before you give me names...'' Said Ishita smiling and Jai looked at her stepping back a little

'By the way using someone in his trusts... Much respect... Although I would be really scared if I was you, I mean imagine what that crazy Punjab man is gonna do when he finds out what you have been doing with your other accomplice... Uhh the things she has had to do to hide her deeds... He is going to kill her and she is probably going to lose the one things she cares about more than anything'' Said Ishita

'Keep her out of this...'' Jai said

'Hmmm... I am not so sure...'' Said Ishita and Jai out of anger charged to where she was raising his hand but before he could bring it back he heard someone grab it causing him to turn

'Wrong woman...'' Said Raman as he tightened his grip on his hand

'This bitch is trying ...'' Jai began

'I suggest you leave...'' Said Raman

'What are...'' he began but ended up holding his hand when people began surrounding him

Everyone thought he was scared but Ishita knew exactly who he was looking at. She wasn't supposed to be in that room and seeing Jai with Ishita was something that person didn't expect and seeing that person was something Jai wasn't expecting

'I am sorry...'' He said as he stared where Santosh was standing

'Just leave my house... Both of you ...'' Said Santosh but Ishita turned and looked at Raman

'Get out...'' Raman said looking at Jai and he let himself out of Raman's hold and began walking out

'Raman...'' Ishita whispered but he was in no mood

He grabbed her hand and walked out of the room with her causing Romi, Pratik, Mihika and Priya to follow him. Simmi being Simmi knew exactly what to do and in a way Raman trusted that. So she took over the event addressed everyone to make sure everything got back on track.

Meanwhile outside, Raman wasn't happy and he wasn't about to hide it anymore

'What the hell is the matter with you? I swear I could just...'' Said Raman as he let go of her hand but Ishita knowing he was pissed at her and rightly so just stood back and kept quiet

'What the hell did you think this was going to achieve? What if he was going to hurt you? Did that even occur to you that he is not a very good man? Why did you even come with me? Was it to hurt me'' Yelled Raman but she just stood back and kept quiet

'Say something Dammit...'' He yelled again

'Raman... Raman... '' Priya called him as she made it to where they were

'No... She can speak for herself...'' Said Raman

'She was doing this for you... The asshole was kind of stealing from you... Here...'' Said Priya as she handed him the flash drive

'There you will find evidence of that on their next launch... They have a new line of clothes they want to launch a week before your launch and you will clearly see... They are all RKB designs and I know this because the specs will show samples of both RKB Fashions and also how the altered it to become Chandra Fashions... Before you bite her head off... Here...'' Said Priya and Raman turned looking at her

'Please... I am gonna crush that asshole before he even says please... Don't like people who try and manipulate me or the gorgeous man am sleeping with'' Said Ishita flirtatiously and Raman let out a soft laugh

'Yeah you are most definitely feeling better...'' He said and she let out a soft laugh as well

'Actually my crushing him will be my gift to you...'' She said

Raman remembered and he began feeling like an idiot because he should have known. I mean she had told him she would do something, he should have trusted her

'So hold on... Are you telling me that he has been spying on the company and we had no idea'' Said Romi shocked

'He had an inside man who...'' Priya began

'We are yet to figure out who that is. I leave it to you am sure you know your employees more than me'' Ishita Interrupted and Priya got their message loud and clear, they were not telling him who that is given they already knew it

'Ishu... Why didn't you tell me...'' Said Mihika knowing her friend was more than capable of this

'I love you Mimi but you can't lie with a straight face... I needed to make him believe there was something wrong with me and him...'' Said Ishita looking at Raman

This must have been hard for her and Mihika knew it. I mean Raman had spent the better part of that night pretty much hating her and she knew she needed to take a risk to do this for him. She wasn't so sure whether Raman would see it that way.

Mihika looked at Ishita and realized there was only one way this whole funk she was in would go away. She was hurting and the way she was dealing wasn't helping. Priya was right; Ishita needed Raman probably more than she thought. Mihika being the nosy friend she was decided to play her odds

'So wait... Is this directly linked to your over drinking... I mean you go out and then...'' Said Mihika

'I don't over drink...'' Said Ishita and Mihika had an o-shaped expression before she said

'Are you kidding...''

'What... I don't...'' She said hoping Mihika dropped it

'Hold on I thought she doesn't drink'' Said Pratik

'She didn't until a few days ago...'' Said Mihika

Now at this point Priya knew exactly what Mihika was trying to do and she wanted to keep out of this. Mihika wanted to probably show Raman it wasn't all daisies with Ishita as well and there was something that they both needed to explore

'Oh please ...'' Said Ishita

'Is that true...'' Said Raman

'Are you just trying to be funny and teasing her...'' Said Romi who couldn't believe it

'No am not... Seriously ...'' Said Mihika turning to Raman

'I don't think I have ever seen her that drunk in my life and believe me I have seen my fair share of drunken Ishu...'' She added

'What happened... Why was she drinking do much'' asked Romi but Mihika just shrugged while Priya turned to hide her smile

CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR

'Priya is it true...'' Said Raman looking at Priya

'Well... I mean Ishu you have been hitting the bottle quite hard'' Said Priya

'Oh Please...'' Said Ishita

'Hey... Are you seriously alright...'' Said Raman concerned

My God... I am fine, my nosy friends are being annoying'' Said Ishita

'I wasn't being nosy... I was only speaking the truth...'' Said Mihika innocently

'Is that so...'' Said Ishita who could see right through that

'Yeah...'' Said Mihika

'Speaking of truths... Uhh Romi... Did you know that some people have tells when they...'' Ishita began

'Am sorry...'' Mihika cutting her off

'When she knows you are coming around she keeps on pa...'' Ishita continued

'Am sorry... Am sorry... Am sorry... Please...'' Mihika pleaded

'Hmm thought so... said Ishita and Priya laughed

'You're too easy...'' Said Priya and Pratik chuckled

'Okay now I am curious to know...'' Said Romi amused at Mihika's reaction

'Sorry... She gets my loyalty more than you...'' Said Ishita smiling

'Ouch...'' Said Romi

'Well I am glad you're alright... Completely crazy ... But alright ...'' Sad Pratik

'Thank you...'' Said Ishita as she turned looking at Raman who was still not good with the whole thing

'Why didn't you just tell me...'' He asked

'Because we were not on talking terms'' Said Ishita

'But you would have told me about this... I deserved to know...'' Said Raman

'Uhh you're welcome... Instead of being mad at me, maybe you can be a little more appreciative...'' Said Ishita

'It wouldn't have mattered had anything happened to you'' Said Raman

'Nothing happened so chill'' Said Ishita

'Are you punishing me... Is that it...'' Said Raman

'Wha... What are you talking about?'' Said Ishita

'You are punishing me because of what happened at the...'' Said Raman and Ishita cut her off

'Uhh do we really want to tall bout this now...'' Said Ishita

'Yeah... Why did you come with him and of all people? There would have been better ways to go about all this than... And the way ...'' Said Raman angrily as he sighed

Ishita looked at him frowning a bit as she read his reaction. She found herself smiling realizing they were talking about the same thing but thinking completely two different things.

'You were just parading around with him and people were saying all kinds of things that weren't very good you know...'' Said Raman

'And by people you mean your mother' Said Ishita

'They were saying you were acting like a ...'' He said holding his tongue

'A wh**e... You can say it...'' She said calmly

'Why are you so calm about this...'' he said taken back at how calm she was

'Because... What people think about me has never bothered me but clearly it does bother you...'' She said

'What...Why are you smiling'' He said

'Raman... ' she said letting out a soft laugh before she added

'You are really hot when you're pissed...''

'Ishu... Come on... Remember what you said'' Said Priya

'Oh right I should really stop flirting, it sends mixed signals... Right... Sorry...'' Said Ishita looking at him from head to toe

'Wait... why aren't you a little more pissed right now'' Said Romi

'I never was angry ... Not with him at least. I mean I was disappointed but not angry... Although it is quite fulfilling to know I get some kind of emotion from him... I mean the great RKB jealous... hmm that was kind of really hot'' Said Ishita

'You're doing it again...'' Said Priya

'Oh right no flirting... Damn this is going to be harder than I thought...'' Said Ishita as she looked away much to everyone's amusement

Mihika and Raman though could see right through all that. There was no way in hell she wasn't boiling inside after what happened between them at the temple days earlier, every normal person would be.

'I have to say though... That dress...'' Said Pratik making light of the moment the only way he knew how

'Yeah tell me about it... I wasted this dress, on some something like Jai... This sucks...'' She said and Priya laughed

'I wouldn't say you wasted it'' Said Mihika

'I kind of did... Normally this is the kind of dress that gets you're unbelievably toes curled up kind of s...'' Ishita began

'Okay... Okay... Am leaving... Message loud and clear we are out...'' Said Mihika and she grabbed Romi's hand walking away and leaving everyone throwing their heads back laughing

'Oh God Mimi so such a vir...'' Said Priya holding her tongue

'Such a ...'' Said Pratik

'Nothing...'' Said Priya looking at Ishita

'No drinking for you... I am serious'' Said Priya

'I would never do that to you, you know that...'' Said Ishita and Priya and Pratik walked away

'What did she mean'' Said Pratik as he left

'Dinking so much around a recovering addict is not a good idea. She is mindful of that...'' Said Priya

'But Mihika just said... Was Mihika lying'' Said Pratik

'No she was telling the truth... But Ishita never drinks like that... But these past few days have been heard and she has a place she kind of goes to find solace in a way, that is where she has been doing all her craziness'' Said Pratik

'Where...'' Said Pratik

'Uhh just this small place we like to call candle beneath the temple'' Said Priya

'What the hell does that even mean'' Said Pratik

'Ohh... You need to get into the circle to know that... You are not their yet...'' Said Priya and Pratik shook his head as they made it inside

'Really...'' Said Raman looking at Ishita

'What... I needed to get laid... It has been ages and this dress would have done that for me'' Said Ishita and Raman just looked at her

Okay don't get all grumpy on me. I was kidding'' She added

'Are you that mad at me. I can't help how I feel Ishita and I am ' Said Raman

'Whoa... Hold on why are you talking like that'' Said Ishita

'I can't help how I feel'' He insisted

'I know...'' She said

'Then why are you punishing me'' He said again

'I am not... I swear...'' She said

'Yeah you are and wow you really know how to punish'' He said

'Am sorry I didn't mean to ' She said

'Yeah... Yeah you kinda did'' He said

'Okay maybe a little... I was hurt... I said I loved you and you just walked away... I mean I expected you didn't feel the same and that is fine but you didn't have to make me feel like crap about it'' She said and he looked at her

'Am so...'' He said

'Don't...'' She interrupted him

'Ishita...'' Said Raman

'No... Don't insult me by thinking of even saying to me what you wanted to say. I get it believe me... I don't like it but I get it... I admire it even... Besides I promised you a gift didn't I... I was fulfilling that'' Said Ishita

'Why didn't you tell me'' Said Raman

'You're a horrible actor and I needed you jealous such that he could believe that you and I were having problems... Also to see if you still cared about me'' She said

'Of course I care... Why would you think I didn't'' He said

'I don't know... I was being all teenagy in a way... And crazy ... Am sorry'' She said

'That was really horrible you know... I swear my heart just shattered every time I saw him'' He said

'Sorry about that...'' She said as she chuckled

'But you should have known I told you I was going to a charity event with him. How was I supposed to know you were the one hosting it...'' She said

'I didn't host it I just gave them a venue given the mishap on where it was supposed to be... There was water damage at the hotel they were supposed to host'' He said

Oh so you offered this... That was really nice of you'' She said

'I occasionally am a nice person... Not always grumpy you know'' He said and she left out a soft laugh

'I miss you...'' He said

'Raman...'' She said softly

'No I mean it I really do... I can't stop thinking about us'' He said

'Wow you really do not know how this whole friends with no benefits works... No sex talk at all'' She said

'Seriously I can't focus... I mean what we have... What we do together... Nasty and sexy and unbelievable is all I can think of to describe that, you know... It as dangerous as it was exciting because half the time what we are doing is so wrong and yet I can't seem to stop... It kind of hot when you know you can get away with something so wrong...'' Said Raman as he looked at her

'Good... At least I left an impression'' Said Ishita looking at him straight back

'Is it so wrong that I still want you right now... My God you make me feel desired and alive and wanted... Haven't had those kinds of feeling in a very long time...'' He said as he took her hand

'You can't do this... It isn't fair to me... I need to get you out of my head because it is the right thing to do and with you telling all this and looking at me like that... It is going to take a lot to get you out of my head any time soon...And I need it to happen soon'' She said as she held his hand and leaned forward

'Let us just... Please ' He said as he felt her pull away

'Allow me get their on my own terms... Please...'' He said as he held the nape of his neck pulling her in as he rested his forehead on hers

'Be patient with me...'' He pleaded and Ishita just kept quiet and she felt taken up with desire all of a sudden before

'Ishita... Ishu ...'' Came Mihika running from inside startling them that they pulled away

'GD is here...'' Added Mihika in one breath

'Wha... What...'' Said Ishita shocked

'Who is GD...'' Said Raman

'Raina Raghav...'' Said Ishita

'He came with ' Said Mihika and Ishita completed

'Dad...'' She said before she turned her demeanor completely changing

'Raman...'' She called him turning around

Yeah...'' he said

'This... Us... We can't... If you want me, you need to want everything that comes with it. Us just messing around, I meant it when I said it isn't enough for me...'' She added

'Ishita plea...'' He said

'As much fun as it is... I need more and am sorry I can't be with you like that if I can't get it...'' She said

'Ishita can we just table...'' Priya said

'No... Let us go... I have a conversation that is long overdue'' She said as she walked back inside
