Part-8

After almost 4 hours of travelling, finally Ishra reached to Kochi, the famous city of Kerala. Mr Bhatia had arranged a driver with a car for their personal use till they r in Kerala. Both sat in car and driver took them to their farmhouse. Both had already slept and had food in flight only so was just looking out of the window, enjoying the beauty of the city which was looking more beautiful than usual due to ongoing Onam festival. After 1 hour, they reached at their farmhouse. Both came out and Ishita was amazed with the beautiful look in front of her. Raman took out their luggage and kept inside with the help of driver while Ishita was just looking around house, outside of house. Driver left after informing Raman about needful things and giving his number as he lives nearby only. After he left, Raman closed the main door and started looking for Ishita calling her name but got no response. He checked whole house but didn't find her.

R-Yeh madrassan kaha gayi. Abhi to aaye hai, kaha chali gayi. Poora ghar check Kar liya. Yeh mere sath hi to thi, gayi kaha phir. Yahi hogi, kahan jaayegi. Uska phone try karta Hu.

Thinking he dialled her no and next moment her mobile ringed in her purse and Raman remembered that he only took out her purse from car as she was just looking around. Just then something strike in his mind,

R-Oh teri! Yeh madrassan kahi bahar to nhi rah gayi. Yeh pagal Jhansi ki rani sahi mein pagal hai or sath mein mujhe bhi kar degi. Bahar dekhta hu. Isse pahle ki Yeh mere peeche talwar lekar dode ki maine usse bahar akele chod Diya, usse andar lata Hu.

He was saying and going to open door but before he could reach, the doorbell rang. He prayed that hope she is not angry and opened door only to see Ishita with sad face. In the next second, both hold their ears for apology and said sorry together following by their laughing session at their silly mistake. Ishita entered inside and Raman closed the door. Ishita started her motor mouth telling him how much she liked all and finally she asked which make Raman searching for words to tell her truth,

I-By the way Raman, yeh farm house hamara hai Lekin Maine to kabhi iske bare mein nhi suna. I mean if anyone from trio families had bought it so definitely I knew about it but I never heard of it.

R-Bas kar madrassan, kitni der se nonstop bole jaa rhi hai. Teri bakbak se mera sar diurd ho rha hai ab. Yeh sab chod or apna room dekh le. I'm tired. I need to take rest.

He said pointing towards her room and she left taking her bags and murmuring...

I-Ravan Kumar.

Raman also took his bags and went inside his room that was opposite to her room. He kept his luggage in his room and went to her room to see her reaction only to see her looking around the room happily ass it was all as per her choice.

R-So how is it?

I-Perfect.

R-Ok then. It's already too late. U take rest. Good night.

Saying so he left quickly before she could start her questions again and Ishita smiled on Ravan Kumar becoming scared Raman. Both slept in their own rooms.

In morning, Ishita was first who wake up early and got ready for the day but in long kurti and leggings after long time and not in formals. She was going in kitchen to prepare breakfast when his eyes fell on Raman's room whose door was little open. She went inside to check him and saw him sleeping peacefully. She shook her head remembering his last night behaviour and thought.

I(thinking)-Ravan Kumar, meri neend udaakar yahan sukoon se so rhe hai. Sadu to hai hi or budhu bhi. Itni choti si bat bhi nhi bol sakte. Koi nhi, let me enjoy. I'm getting big chance to tease u.

She left to kitchen and saw everything was already there. After thinking for few minutes, she started making Aloo pranthe. After sometime Raman also wake up and heard some noises from outside and went to see. He came to hall only to see Ishita working in kitchen in perfect wife avatar. Ishita felt his presence and raised her head only to see him looking at her smiling. She wished him good morning. He wished her back and went back to his room to get ready. Till Raman got ready in blue shirt with denim and came to have breakfast, she had set all on breakfast table. Ishita told him to wait and went to her room. She came back in formals and Raman looked at her confused when she said,

I-Kya? Aise kya dekh rhe ho. We came for professional work na so that's why I got ready in formals and by the way u should also wear formals. Why did u wear these? And at what time we have to leave?

R(slowly)-Time. Vo to mujhe bhi nhi pta.

I-Kya?

R-I mean. I will ask Rahul (Mr Bhatia's son) and tell u.

I-Ok. But Raman I was thinking that what type of help Rahul needs from us?

She said serving both and looked at Raman smiling inside while Raman was just searching words.

I-Tell me.

R-Arey shanti se breakfast to karne do.

I-Ok. U have ur breakfast and I just call Rahul and asked him everything.

She took her mobile and Raman snatched her mobile.

R-Wait. Let me explain u.

I-Ok I'm waiting.

She said totally enjoying his state. Raman looks here and there and trying to say something but couldn't form words. Ishita couldn't tease him more and said,

I-Raman fast na, I'm dying to hear this from very long, from last night till now. Its too long.

R-Ha I'm telling na.

He said still lost in finding words but then realized the meaning of her words and asked looking ather,

R-What did u say?

I-I said I'm waiting from last night but my budhu Ravan Kumar is not telling me.

R-U want to say u know all.

I(smiling widely)-Yes

R-How?

I-Don't underestimate me after all I'm Mrs Ishita Raman Kumar Bhalla.

R-Nautanki band kar. Bhatia uncle ne btaya hoga.

I-No. Actually, earlier I was not thinking like this but then firstly we landed in Kochi, my favourite place in Kerala at the time of Onam festival, my favourite, then we had a farmhouse also in Kochi that to be near sea and I even don't know, then a room as per my choice and another of ur's choice and one room locked. U were running from my questions and see u dressed urself in casuals not in formals. So to sum of all, there is no work but my dear old friend and ek dum new new husband planned all this especially for me. Rahul to sirf bahana hai. We r here on a short trip to Kerala. Right?

Raman was shocked and said, "U r such a big dramebaaz. U were teasing me till now.

I-Of course, how could I leave this opportunity. Ok now enough of our conversation. First have breakfast then we will start our trip.

R-Hmm. Tumhari excitement dekh kar mujhe lag rha hai ki vaise to main tumhe yahan lekar aaya hu but guide tum hi banne wali ho.

I-Of course, because I know Kerala more than u.

R-Ok but, Rahul arranged a Kerelian family of his employee nearby. Today is last day of Onam festival so we will celebrate with them in a full family way.
I-Wow. This is the first time when I will celebrate Onam with a Kerelian family. Thank u so much.

After that both had breakfast together and then Ishita changed back in suit. Till than the man, Rahul's employee too came to take them to his house. Trio left to his house. Soon they reached at his house. The whole house was beautifully decorated, a big beautiful Pookalam (floral rangoli) was there in aangan (coutyard) made by them. All welcomed Ishra whole heartedly. Whole family was ready to celebrate the day wearing Onakodi (new clothes). The most old couple of the family presented onakodi to Ishra also and asked to wear them if they r comfortable. Ishra tried to deny but after a lot of pleadings they took as their blessings and changed. Both liked each other in traditional look and complimented also.

First they prayed in their house and then went to nearby temple. Ishra also went with them and prayed. Ishra enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. Then the family completed Pookalam by last flowers decoration making it the biggest on last day. They placed Lord Vishnu and Mahabali of clay mound in front of Pookalam. Ishra also participated and took pics.

Then the grand meal of Onam called Onasadya was prepared. It consisted of lot of dishes prepared by contribution of all members and was served on banana leaves and Ishra had it sitting with all.

Then all women danced together traditionally known as Thiruvathira Kali. They sang their Onam songs which Ishra couldn't understand properly but they enjoyed, all rocked each other on swings which were made on trees and decorated by flowers.

They played many local games but enjoyed mostly in Vadam vali (Tug of war).

After that some of family members took them out to show them more festivities. One of them was Puli Kali where artists act as tigers, goats and hunters and dance to the beats of local percussion instruments. There were also some cultural dances. Patassu (fire crackers) were also burnt to celebrate the occasion. Ishra enjoyed with them also.

After that they took Ishra to show Aranmula Uthrattathi Vallamkali (boat race).

At last after enjoying the festival full day, Ishra were returning at their farmhouse and the old couple again gave a gift to them and blessed them for a happy married life forever. Ishra took their blessings and were feeling contended. Both came back home happy but tired too. Both went to their rooms. Ishita came from bathroom after changing that's when she got a call from a client who wanted to talk to Raman but his mobile was switched off. Ishita went to his room and saw he was in bed and going to sleep. She informed him about call and he started talking to client while Ishita started waiting to end the call and sat on bed. Soon she slept there only as she was tired and after 10 minutes Raman ended the call and saw her sleeping in uncomfortable position. He was also tired so shrugged the idea to take her to her room or he went to her room and making her sleep comfortably, he also slept there only but maintain a safe distance...

That's all for this part.

Firstly a big thank you to Anju di (Muskan193) who helped me by explaining me about this festival. Thank u so much di.

Secondly Sorry if I wrote anything wrong, any name of the cultural activities or the way to explain them is wrong. I wrote this update after lot of surfing on internet so don't know how it is. Fingers crossed...

Precap-Kerala trip continues with Ishra moments ...
