Chapter Thirty Two

'Ishu... Ishu... Oh My God...''

Romi and Mihir were walking out as well when they suddenly heard that and Raman who had walked out also turned looking there way

'Isn't that...'' said Romi

'Oh My God...'' Said Mihir as he run to where Ishita was

She was lying on the floor almost as if she had collapsed and Rinky was of course wailing while Shagun stood there in shock not even sure what was going on or how Ishita ended up on the floor

'I... Wa... ' Shagun began

'What happened...'' Said Romi and Rinky crying said

'This lady, she was angry with Ishita, she kept on talking about knowing half thins and evil things and something called Bhalla Senior, she was very upset and then, and then... She pushed Ishu... Please... Ishu...'' Rinky began crying again

'I did not push her...'' Said Shagun

'She is on the ground and you seem fine... Are you saying I am a liar...'' Said Rinky dramatically

'Actually yeah... She is lying...'' Said Shagun

'I am no... Ishu... Ishu... Someone, call an ambulance...'' Said Rinky

'Do not over react she is fine...'' Said Shagun

'Does she seem fine... Does she...'' Said Rinky sobbing

'Just stop yelling...'' Said Mihir as he knelt down where Ishita was and put his hand behind her head helping her up

'Ishita... Hey...'' He called her but she seemed out of it

Throughout this whole ordeal, Raman was just standing there phone still in hand almost as if he could not bring himself to move or talk.

With hisother hand Mihirheld her back but instead Ishita winced a bit as if she was in paid and he felt something wet. He took his hand away and he could she was bleeding.

'Oh My God...'' Rinky cried

'Hey are you okay? Your bleeding'' Said Mihir

'Sorry... yeah I am... ' Ishita said as she tried to get up on her own but she failed

'Here let me help you...'' Said Mihir and he did just that

When Ishita sat up, she looked around and she could see Raman was actually standing just behind Mihir who was holding her and as if she was surprised, she tried to push Mihir away and stand up but instead ended stumbling back into Mihir's hands

'Just calm down a bit...'' Said Mihir who was genuinely worried because he thought she was seriously hurt

'Oh My God will you stop... She is pretending. I did nothing wrong...'' Said Shagun

'Shut it...'' Raman suddenly said his eyes still on Ishita

'Hey... You're okay...'' He asked her

'Yes Sir...'' She said

'You are not fine... Here...'' said Mihir as he pulled her in making her rest her head on his shoulder as he tried to look at her back

'You seem hurt though...'' He added as he tried to lift her top but then

'Hey... What do you think you're doing'' Said Romi

'I am just checking if her wound...'' Said Mihir absent minded Ishita still in his arms and he insisted on lifting her top to try and look at her wound

'YAH... MIHIR...'' Romi yelled startling him

'What...'' He said as he finally sat back Ishita'shand still in his and he looked at Romi

'Stand up... Right now...'' Said Romi

'Why she is my employee I need to see if she is okay...'' Said Mihir

'Exactly, employee nothing more... What you are about to do is grounds for harassment...? Besides if someone is to tend to that wound it ain't you...'' Said Romi as he took Mihir's hand forcing him to stand and let go of Ishita

'Sorry Sir...'' Said Ishita as she winced a bit getting up and kneeling instead

'I will be careful next time...'' She added

'Careful about what... It wasn't...'' Rinky began

'Stay out of it...'' Said Ishita

'Sir... Please I am so sorry about this...'' She said looking up at Raman briefly before she looked down again

'Boss... I am sure you understand it isn't her fault...'' Said Rinky

'Yeah I know...'' Said Mihir

'Are you in pain...'' Raman whose eyes had not left her asked

'Uhhh... Not really...'' She said as she struggled to stay on her knees because she seemed uncomfortable

'Does it hurt anywhere...'' He asked again

'No... I am fine...'' Said Ishita looking at him and then down again

'Can you move with that ankle...'' He asked again causing Ishita to look at her leg and it was the first time she had even realized her ankle was swollen

'Yeah... Sure...'' She said still kneeling

Raman who had learned a few things about her since he met her chuckled putting his phone in his pocket leaning down to do something but she just stayed still.

'Why do you always hide your pain'' he said but she just looked at him with a cute expression like an innocent child

He held her elbows and arched her arms forward as if telling her what to do and she understood extending her arms around the nape of his neck and with that, he took her in his arms making her stand before he lifted her.

'Raman... Raman ...'' Shagun called him standing in his way but he instead just walked out of the parking lot to the secret private elevator that lead exactly to the last floor where his and his brother's rooms where.

'Uhhh... What... Where is he taking her'' Rinky suddenly asked feigning ignorance

'Oh do not worry and go back to work. He is going to make sure she is treated'' Said Romi

'Really... Do you know him? What if he does something to her'' Said Rinky

'Young lady... It is fine just get back to work'' Said Romi and Rinky reluctantly walked way

'Mihir I need...'' Shagun started

'You leave too... I do not think it is in your best interest to be here...'' Mihir snapped

'Excuse me...'' Said Shagun surprised

'I said leave... Or I will call security...'' Mihir said and Shagun scoffed almost in shock before she walked away pissed as hell

'Hey Mihir... Are you in love with Ishita?'' Romi suddenly said

'What... No... I mean no way... Right ...'' Said Mihir

'I do no care what sort of feelings you any or may not have accumulated for her. They stop here...She is Raman's wife and she is not someone a Bhalla can fall in love with'' Said Romi

'You think I do not know that...'' Said Mihir looking where Raman had taken Ishita

'This not my fault... I did not know she was his wife when we met...'' Said Mihir

'Meaning what...'' Said Romi looking at Mihir but he did not answer

'Hey... hey... Are you telling me your in love with her'' Said Romi

'I do not know...'' Said Mihir before he turned scratching his head and he walked away

'What the hell...'' Said Romi shocked

Meanwhile Raman had taken Ishita in his arms and as much as he could sense she was getting uncomfortable, he would not put her down no matter how much she insisted. He finally made his way to the room slowing placing her on the bed before he turned walking into the closet.

'I am really okay Sir...'' Said Ishita who realized maybe this had gone further than she anticipated

'Raman...'' He said as he made his way to where she was with a first aid kit

'Sir... Really ...'' She said as she tried to get off the bed but he put his hands on her shoulder and sat her back down sitting beside her.

'I am...'' She started but he instead picked her leg putting it on a pillow on the bed as he said

'This will go by faster if you stop arguing with me...'' And Ishita not knowing what to do kept quiet

'Why didn't you treat this well yesterday'' He said as he placed ointment on her ankle

'Sorry...'' She said

'You hurt your ankle last night. It is swollen because you did not treat it well. In all honesty I can't understand how you walked around with it baring the pain...'' He said and she looked at him surprised

'What... You think I did not notice it...'' He added

'Ahh ...'' Said Ishita but she did not know what to say

'Do not let this happen again...'' He said as he grabbed the bandage

'Yes Sir...'' Said Ishita humbly

'Raman... My name is Raman...'' He said

'I know that Sir...'' She said

'Then call me that...'' He said finishing up before he looked up at her their eyes meeting

She looked at him for a second or two too long and when she realized it she began looking away in a guilty manner almost as if she was caught in a lie. He looked at her and chuckled shaking his head.

'You are seriously a very peculiar woman...'' He said but Ishita instead just looked down and did not say anything

'I have to get back to work so I have to go but please do put a lot of pressure on that ankle'' He added

'Yes Sir...'' She said and he looked at her chuckled again

'Fine... You win... But does that mean I can call you madam...'' He said

'NO...'' She said sternly and he threw his head back laughing

'Chill out... I would find it very uncomfortable to call a woman I slept in the same bed with madam...'' he said

'Huh...'' She said

'Nothing... Am sorry that came out wrong...'' He said back tracking

'No like sleeping together, I mean we sleep, on the same bed but not like sleep together, together...'' He added blabbering but she couldn't help but smile

'Ahhh... You smiled...'' He said

'Sorry Sir...'' She said and looked down again

'Oh dammit, for a minute there I thought I had broken down those barriers...'' He said and like always she went back in silent mode

'Anyway... Is your back fine...'' He asked

'Yes Sir...'' She said

'Of course it is, why I would expect a different answer is beyond me...'' He said shaking his head and realizing he had asked a stupid question

'You know...'' He said as he made his way to where she was

'You could be bleeding on the side of the road and you will still say Yes Sir as long as I am the one who asked if you alright'' He said standing in front of her

'That is... ' She said but he cut her off

'Lean forward let me check on your wound...'' He said

'No... No... I am fine... I swear... I will clean it myself... I am absolutely fine. Do not worry yourself at all... Please...'' She said and he stepped back realizing something

'Do I make you that uncomfortable'' he asked but she kept quiet and he decided not to push it

'Okay...'' He said stepping away

'I will come pick you up later and do not worry about Aditya, Romi will take care of it'' He added

'Thank you...'' She said and with he walked out of that room.

Chapter Thirty Three

Ishita watched Raman close the door walking out and as sighed in relief. She was never comfortable around him and for obvious reason. Plus there was that uncomfortable issue of how she somehow needed up in his bed that morning and how he behaved like it never happened.

She was expecting a serious telling off that morning but he just acted like it was the most normal thing and that bothered her even more. How is it that he was so okay with that? And how the hell did she end up in his bed in the first place and why was she more uncomfortable than him? As she was lost in her thought suddenly the door flung open starling her and like as if out of instinct she sat back down

Raman made his way out a bit amused about how Ishita truly hid herself. Every time he interacted with her she made it an effect to portray a nave innocent woman but what he had seen earlier did not depict that at all. He also saw how she interacted with Mihir and she almost seemed normal in those instances, which begged the question, which Ishita did his grandfather think he made a deal with

'Ahh... Who the hell are you exactly Ishita Iyer...'' He said to himself as he started the ignition and just before he set off, his phone went off

'Hey Romi...'' He answered

'Yeah Raman, sorry about this but I am going to need you and Ishita to go over to Aditya's school'' Said Romi

'Why...'' Said Raman

'He is in some sort of trouble and they are asking for his guardians to go to school. I would have askedIshita but as you know she does not know her way around and give I can't right now because of that project meeting, you have to go...'' Said Romi

'I... Uhh...'' Said Raman thinking for a second before he added

'I will take care of it...''

'Wait... You are not going to fuss...'' Said Romi surprised

'What is that supposed to mean'' Said Raman

'Is this because Mihir...'' Said Romi

'What the hell are you on about'' Said Raman

'Nothing... Nothing... Just go to school now and pick him up'' Said Romi

'Okay...'' Said Raman and he got out of the car and walked back inside

That is how he saw Mihir who looked a bit disconcerted as he made his way into Raman's room and Raman figured Ishita was still in there. So stopped a bit to allow Mihir inside before he walked in dropping

Ishita who had gotten startled sat back down as the dung open and she saw Mihir walk in

'Are you alright... Are you hurt...? Is it painful...'' Asked Mihir

'What is wrong with you'' Said Ishita

'Are you fine...'' He asked again

'I am fine, just a sprained ankle... Why are you being dramatic...'' Said Ishita

'What happened? What did Shagun do...'' He asked

'Nothing...'' Said Ishita

'You can't say that... She walked away fine and you're the one with a sprained ankle'' Said Mihir

'My sprained ankle has nothing to do with Shagun'' Said Ishita

'Why are you protecting her...'' Asked Mihir

'Why are you interrogating me'' Said Ishita calmly

'Am not interrogating... You really do not know when someone cares for you. Are you always this suspicious of people'' He asked

'Aren't you...'' She said and Mihir shaking his head said

'I give up... Just are you sure you're okay''

'Yeah... thanks for worrying...'' She said

'What about your back...'' He said and he walked to where she was but she arched back holding his hands

'This is such inappropriate behavior your realize that'' She said

'Oh... Right ... Sorry'' He said stepping back

'It is okay... Just do not get too comfortable around me, I do not know you like that'' She said

'I apologize...'' He said humbly and Ishita chuckled

'God you're so easy... My back is fine, Raman Sir fixed it...'' She lied

Mihir wanted to test the water a bit and figure out why she was working here and what sort of relationship she actually shared with Raman. It did not make sense that she was Raman's wife and yet she was here working. I mean even if Raman wanted her to work, it surely would not have been in the position she was now in.

'You know him...'' Said Mihir

'No exactly...'' She lied again

'He just carried you into his VVIP suite and you're saying you do not know him...'' Said Mihir

'He was just... I am... What is this anyway? Why are you interrogating me'' Said Ishita

'I am not. I was just being inquisitive, he seems to like you...'' Said Mihir but Ishita looked at him for a second or two more before she threw her head back laughing hysterically

'What... What... What is funny'' Asked Mihir and Raman frowned a bit curious as to what her answer would be

'You are really horrible at reading people...'' Said Ishita holding her stomach

'Oh... That was funny...'' She added

'That bad huh...'' Said Mihir

'Yeah... You were that off... Besides why would a man like that want with a baggage woman like me'' Said Ishita and Mihir looked at her

''Oh am not saying that to gain pity points I promise...'' She added

'What is wrong with you? Your perfect to me'' Said Mihir smiling

'Eewweee I want to throw up. Don't say cheesy stuff like that'' Said Ishita

'What did I say wrong'' He said

'Women usually fall for crap like that...'' She said

'What...'' Said Mihir chuckling

'I was not flattering you...'' He added

'Yeah... Whatever... Let us just go. We need to get back to work'' She said

'With that leg... No you're not. We should just skip...'' He said

'No... I cannot... I just started today. Also, I can't afford it...'' Said Ishita

'Just ask VVIP to take care of you until your back on your feet. I am sure he can afford it'' Said Mihir

'I am not starving. Besides why would he take care of me'' Said Ishita

'Why not... You're hot... Use that...'' Said Mihir provocatively

'I am not a wh**e...'' Said Ishita

'I... I did not mean that...'' Said Mihir

'I know... You are just weird...'' She said shaking her head and Raman, who was outside, found himself smiling at the irony in her statement

'I am not...'' Said Mihir chuckling before he added

'You are the first woman I have met who thinks that...''

'You must meet very few women...'' Said Ishita and Mihir laughed

'Ouch...That hurt my ego a little bit'' He said

'Good... You have way to big of an ego anyway'' Said Ishita chuckling

'Seriously though are you fine...'' Said Mihir as he tried to lift her leg but she pulled away

'I am okay... My leg hurts like hell but I am good'' She said

'Can you work though. I can cover for you...'' He said

'No...No... I am fine, do not stress yourself about it'' Said Ishita

'Alright...'' Said Mihir reluctantly and Raman who thought he had heard enough took a step forward until he heard

'Speaking of work, can I ask you something...'' Said Ishita causing Raman to halt

'Sure...'' Said Mihir

'There is a man here called Pratik. Since you have been working here for a long time, you must know him or have seen him...'' Said Ishita

'Yeah... I can take you to his office if you want'' Said Mihir

'Yes please, thank you. Also you have him to me through because I do not know him...'' Said Ishita

'Then why are you looking for him'' Said Mihir

'I have to return something to his family before I leave...'' She said

'You are leaving'' Said Mihir confused

'Sometime in the future yeah...'' Said Ishita

'Why...'' Said Mihir

'Because it is none of your business'' Said Ishita chuckling

'Well... I have a feeling I am going to miss you'' Said Mihir

'Do not be absurd, you do not even know my name'' Said Ishita

'By the way, what is up with that? What the hell is your name?'' He said seemingly frustrated and Ishita chuckled

'Ishita... My name is Ishita...'' She said

'Ishita who...'' Said Mihir pocking for more information

'Iyer... I am Ishita Iyer...'' she said

'Ahh... So you're not married...'' He said

'If I say I am will you stop asking'' She said and he shaking his head extended his hand saying

'Well, nice to officially met you Ishita Iyer. I am Mihir...''

'Mihir who...'' She said

'Ratan... I am Mihir Ratan...'' He said hiding his sir name

'Okay then... Nice to meet you too, officially that is'' She said and she put out to greet them until

'Shouldn't you be doing something... Anything official right now'' Said Raman who had finally made his way in

'Ahh... ' Mihir startled turned as he added

'You scared the crap out of me...''

'Sorry Sir...'' Ishita stood up wincing in pain but she somehow managed to get to her feet

'Why are you apologizing'' Said Mihir turning as he looked at her

When he saw how her demeanor had completely changed he found himself frowning a bit wondering why she acted like she was some timid woman in that moment. Raman who was used to the 360 changes in character just looked at her not saying a word

'Ishita are you okay...'' Mihir asked putting his hand on her shoulder

'Of course I am...'' Said Ishita as she pulled away

'Don't you have work to do?'' Raman asked again

'Yes Sir... I will get on it...'' Said Ishita and she began making her way but Mihir pulled her back

'Just... You can't talk to staff in any manner you want. Can't you see...'' He began ranting only to

'SMACK...'' Ishita wacked him in the back of the head

*******************************

Chapter Thirty Four

'Ahhh...'' He said as he held his head

'What was that?'' He said looking at her

'Shsss... You blabbering nonsense ...'' She said and Raman who found it hard to hide his expression found himself smirking hence folding a fist and putting it on his mouth

'Sir, please forgive him, he has issues...'' Said Ishita pointing to his head

'You think am crazy...'' Said Mihir

'Aren't you... This is his room, we are intruding...'' Said Ishita and Mihir looked around

'Right...'' He said before he began grumbling

'Still doesn't mean he had to be rude about it...''

'You have something to say to me...'' Said Raman who decided to play along with Mihir

'I really don't... Am just stressing that you do not need to be jea...'' He began but then

'SMACK...'' Off Ishita went again causing Raman to bite his lip chuckling a bit

'Will you stop it'' Said Mihir

'Stop talking...'' Said Ishita turning to Raman

'We shall leave now...'' She said and she almost subconsciously took Mihir's hand and starting limping away

'Stop...'' Said Raman walking to where they were

'He leaves, you don't...'' He said

'Uhh...No... She has work '' Said Mihir and Raman looked at him

'I need your permission to take HER... Is that what you are telling me right now...'' He added with seriousness that Mihir knew the joking had ended a while ago

'No... That is...'' He began stammering

'Are we going to have a problem Mihir... Seems to me like you are not aware that there is a line your about to cross...'' Said Raman taking Ishita's hand and he dragged her back

'Ahh... Ouch... Ouch...'' Says Ishita wincing in pain

'Stop your hurting her...'' Said Mihir

'Why are you still here...'' Asked Raman as he dragged her to the couch

'Raman... If you are upset about something or jealous, take it out on me not her...'' Said Mihir

'Mihir... Leave... Now ...'' Ishita said sternly and Mihir took the hint

'Fine... If you need anything please come find me.'' He said and with that he walked away

Raman knowing he probably needed his brother when Ishita contacted Pratik realized maybe it was not the time to be pissing each other off and so he let it go. His illogical behavior just then he just put off as being cautious as he did not trust Ishita but deep down he knew, maybe there was more to that.

'Do you have a change of Clothes'' He asked
Eehh...' She said
Change of clothes... You are dressed in uniform right now...' He asked again
Uhh... No sir... I mean yes in the locker rooms'She answered and Raman took his phone from his pocket and started typing
You may be working here as you requested but do not forget who you are or in which family you are married into said Raman
Trust me, I can't forget even if I wanted to Said Ishita
That statement supposed to have a hidden meaning' Said Raman
No Sir...' Said Ishita
Anyway I came back to pick you. Aditya has had some sort of issue at school. They need us to go there and sort that out said Raman
Oh my God is he okay' said Ishita
Yeah he is fine but the other kid not so much...' Said Raman
I do not know what that means... Said Ishita
I have just been told he fought...'' Said Raman looking up from his phone

'What...'' She said

'He fought at school and they are now disciplining him hence asking for us...' Said Raman
Why would... What is wrong with him Said Ishita frustrated
I will wait for you in the parking lot. So please make it fast' He said
Yes sir' She answered and she turned limping away
Raman made his way out of that room with only one destination in mind, Mihir's office. There were quite afew things that needed settling with his young brother and he knew if he did notput an end to itearly, if was going to be a problem.
May I come in Said Raman
sure boss...Said Mihir sarcastically
You have something to say to me' Said Raman
Actually yes, what the hell was that earlier Said Mihir
You mean why did I react when another man is flirting with my wife' said Raman
I was not flirting with her...' Said Mihir
What is wrong with that, you are perfect to me Said Raman imitating Mihir
I was giving her a compliment. That is not flirting besides why would you care, she is not actually your wife. No way you married a woman just because Bhalla senior told you to' Said Mihir
Actually I did because I genuinely believed that he was dying'Said Raman
That is such bullshit Said Mihir
Mihir with all due respect, you are the one who hates him not me. And you entitled to do that but I am not obligated to hate him with you. I just could not turn him down when I saw him laying there helplessso I agreed to this stupid marriage. However I am already in it and I would be very appreciative if you did not make things more difficult for me' Said Raman
If I did not know you well enough I would have fallen for that speech myself. Very convincing... Except for the fact that you Bhallas do not give a rat's ass about anybody but yourselves and I just feel sorry for that poor woman who is going to be caught in the middle'said Mihir
Why would you think that I am going to hurt her Said Raman
Well let us see, she is working at your hotel as a help'Said Mihir
Actually she asked me to do that. Could not talk her out of it'Said Raman
Or the fact that you allow your girlfriend to run all over her Said Mihir

Allow... Shagun isn't someone you allow to do stuff she sort of just does them. Also Ishita is not as weak as you all think she is. Trust me she can take care of Shagun...And since when do I need you to educate on how I treat her Said Raman

Stop being dramatic that does not suit you said Mihir

Fine how about we make a deal... You seem to enjoy her company and I don't. Clearly she thinks you work here or are somehow in the same wave as she I think that is why she is comfortable around you'' Said Raman

'This conversation has an end to it'' Asked Mihir

'I need you to get close to her enough for her to tell you what she knowsabout Shagun or what deal she has with Bhalla Senior. I refuse to think he is doing this for remorse... Grandma may be but no way he is'' Said Raman

'So you want me to spy on her for you'' Said Mihir

'Yes... That is exactly what I am saying'' Said Raman

'No I will not do that, that is wrong'' Said Mihir

'Oh please since when a you a pillar of truth'' Said Raman

'What is it in for me'' Said Mihir

'What do you want? Instead of scheming behind my back I can just give you the hotel, save you the hustle'' Said Raman

'I am not scheming I am generating funds such that I can buy it from you legally. I am just doing it secretly because mom will cause me problem when she finds out'' Said Mihir

'I know... So what do you want'' Said Raman

'Can I think about it and let you know'' Said Mihir

'Knock yourself out as long as you get me what I want, I will give you what you need. Deal...'' Said Raman and with that they shook on it.
