Thank you so much for the lovely response.
Part-10
Firstly I want to tell u all that Ishra r in Ernakulam district of Kochi city which I forgot to mention earlier.
Ishra completed their breakfast and after doing some office work, both went out in a car which was arranged by Raman. Raman was driving and asked Ishita to decide where to go today. Ishita decided to start their trip with Ernakulam Shiva temple and the famous Marine Drive and soon both were going to their destination enjoying the driving too. Soon both reached there. Firstly they went to GCDA Shopping Complex of Marine Drive. After shopping, both had lunch there and then headed towards Shiva Temple. At 4pm, it was Pooja time so Ishra also joined it as they wanted it. Then Ishra went to different parts of Marine drive :- The Marine Walkway, The Rainbow Bridge, The House boat Bridge, The China Net Bridge and spend whole evening there walking, talking and playing together. At last both sat together in a side hug watching beautiful night view
and then came back to their house after having dinner. Ishita went to Raman's room after changing and asked if they can talk for some time as she was not feeling sleepy. Both settled on the bed and started talking about themselves and their outing and both slept together there only.
Next three days passed like this only. Ishita was the guide for Ishra trip as she had visited here before also. In day time Ishra visited Fort Kochi, Hill Palace Museum, Chooanikkara temple and in evening, Ishra used to go on beaches enjoying and capturing the beautiful views at night:- Fort Koch beach, Cherai beach, Vypeen Island Zone.
Ishra used to come back in late night all tired but before sleeping both talked about their whole day outing with a cup of coffee and slept talking only together, either in Raman's room or Ishta's. Ishra used to prepare breakfast together, both had it and then again left for outing. Both were happy getting each other back as best friends like earlier with their little nok jhok but a phone call put a full stop on their trip.
It was sixth day of their trip, at 8am, both were sleeping in Ishita's room when there came a call on Ishita's mobile. Ishita had kept it near her pillow. So she felt vibrations and got up. She picked up mobile and moved out of room to talk so that Raman will not get disturbed. She talked for few minutes and cut the call. She turned to go back when she saw Raman was standing there. He asked her about the call seeing her sad.
I-There is some problem in my new project so I have to go back to Delhi.
R-Ashok?
Ishita nodded in yes.
R(after thinking something)-Jyada important hai aaj hi jana?
I-No but...
R-Thank god, meri planning kharab nahi jaayegi.
I-Means?
R-It means go and get ready for today. Today I will tell u how to dress up and where to go.
Ishita was about to say but Raman shut her and pushed her inside her room and was going but turned back and asked her to wear ethnic as they are going to a nearby temple first. She accepted without arguing and got busy in getting ready. After getting ready, Raman took her to nearby temple by walking. She tried to ask him if anything special to which he didn't said anything. Both prayed in the temple and then came out. Ishita started walking when Raman stopped her and showed her a bike telling that today they will have a bike ride making her happy. Soon both were on bike ride.
After a short ride Raman took her back to farmhouse taking dosa for breakfast from outside only and said to have ride after breakfast. After having breakfast, Ishita was very excited to go on bike ride and was going out when Raman stopped her and asked her to change in jeans and top making her confused but she changed and came out where Raman was waiting.
I-Ab chale?
R-Ha jaroor.
Saying so Raman gave her helmet to wear.
I-Mujhe bhi pahnna padega.
R-Correction Madam. Tujhe bhi nhi, tujhe hi pahnna hai.
I-Why? You are riding so u should wear it.
R-In that case, I want to inform u that you are going to ride the bike, not me.
For that, Ishita gave him a shocking reaction while Raman said smiling,
R-What happened? Shock laga that how I came to know this.
I-U know that I...
R-Come on Madrassan, zindagi mein pahli baar tune mujhse chupakar kuch kaam kiya hai, kuch naya seekha hai. Ab ek ride to banti hai na.
I-But how...
R-Leave it, how when where why. Not important now. Let's go.
He said giving her helmet and keys. She was a little nervous but he assured her and she started the bike taking keys while Raman sat behind her. Raman told her the way for some time and soon both were out of the market on the lone roads. Raman was impressed to see her riding very efficiently. He gave complements to her also. After some time Raman thought of some mischief and hugged Ishita from back through her waist startling her at his sudden move.
I-Raman, what are you doing?
R-What?
I-Don't try to pretend. I'm talking about this.
She said smacking his hands by her one hand.
R-Oh, actually you are riding bike and I'm sitting behind you for the first time so I thought to hold you tightly so that I will not fall down.
He said holding her more tightly. Ishita saw him smiling mischievously through rear view mirror and was about to say something but then shrugged it off and continued riding. Almost three hours passed with their bike riding along with their mini adventures in a park with lots of fun. At last Ishra came back to farmhouse tired. Raman was thinking how to make her busy now so that he could do the preparations to surprise her. Ishita got a call from a client and she informed him that she has some office work to do so she went to her room making Raman relieved for some time. After one hour Ishita came out only to see Raman was checking something in his mobile and saying done or not done. Ishita asked him what he is doing but he denied saying he was just checking mails.
Ishita asked him what to make in lunch. As both had many things during outing so both were not so humgry and decided to make Pasta. After having Pasta, Ishita asked his next plans but Raman said that he has some work and as Ishita was feeling sleepy so she slept in her room.
Ishita woke up with continuous ringing of her mobile. She opened her eyes and picked her mobile which was showing Raman's name. She got confused thinking why he is calling when both are in same house. She picked the call,
I-Hello.
R-Hello, A very Good evening madrassan.
I-Evening. What happened?
R-Nothing madam, its 6 pm and u had been sleeping from three hours.
That's when Ishita noticed the time and was shocked.
I-Main itna kaise so gayi.
R-Because you were tired.
I-Hmmm, that'as true. By the way why did you call me? Hum ek hi ghar mein hai.
R-Yes but I'm busy somehere.
I-Where?
R-To plan something for you.
I(excited)-Kya?
R-You will get to know soon. Firstly look at your left side.
Ishita looked at her left side and saw one of her favourite saree which was given by Raman only on her last birthday, was kept there with a lily flower making her surprise as she didn't bring this saree with herself and asked,
I-You brought it?
R-Of course, aur kon laayega. Ok now leave all this and get ready wearing it, a surprise is waiting for you. Vaise jyada time waste mat karna ready hone mein kyonki yeh Ravan Kumar JKR par flat to hoga nahi.
I-Yes, right because Ravan Kumar pahle se flat hai.
R-Acha madrassan, tu ek bar ready hokar aaja, phir main tujhe batata hu flat ka matlab.
Saying so he cut the call and Ishita smiled looking at the saree. After 45 minutes, Ishita was completely ready an went out taking her mobile. The moment she opened the door she saw a sign board indicating her the way towards back side door of the farmhouse which opens in a small garden. She walked towards the door and opened it only to see Raman was standing in front of her smiling looking at her only. She too smiled at him and he forward his hand to her. She hold it and both started walking on the path of the garden. Garden was divided in two halves and a path in middle. Ishita saw one side of garden where a table was kept decorated with white lilies with the food and there were lights on the plants and trees which were brightening in the darkness but another side was all dark and she could see that he had kept some things there too but couldn't see clearly. She looked at him and asked,
I-What's going in your mind?
R-Just wait and watch.
I-Anything special?
R-No.
I-So why all this?
R-Ohho, there is nothing like that. You were sad that we have to go back early so thought to make last day a little special. Nothing else. Aura b agar jagga jaasoos ki jaasoosi khatam ho gayi ho to dinner start kare.
I-Fine. Ravan Kumar.
Raman made her sit on the chair and sat opposite to her. He served south Indian food for both and both had it silently with their own thinking. After dinner, Raman served ice cream. Both were having slowly, Ishita was eagerly waiting for him to say something or do as she was sure that he is definitely up to something while Raman was enjoying her eagerness. At last Ishita said,
I-Raman.
R-Hmmm.
I-What's next?
R-Nothing. I'm very tired. Main to bas ab sone jaaunga.
I(angrily)-Good. Actually it will be very good if I will go and sleep first than you. Ok, Bye.
Saying so she was going but Raman stopped her holding her hand and said,
R-Itni bhi kya jldi hai Madrassan. Abhi to bhot kuch baki hai.
I-Nhi, its ok. Aapko to sona tha na.
R-Acha meri Jhansi ki rani, sorry to tease. Kaan pakad kar sorry.
He said coming in front of her and holding his ears to which Ishita said,
I-Ab sorry bol rahe ho to achche se bolo. Kaan pakde huye hai to ups and down bhi karlo.
He saw her naughty smile and said,
R-Acha, up down chod, mera kuch aur karne ka man kar rha hai. Karu? He said going closer to her.
I-I know you will not do anything.
R-Overconfident.
I-This is trust.
R-Blind faith.
I-But not harmful in your case.
Both smiled looking at each other.
R-Now can I have a dance with you?
He asked forwarding his hand and Ishita gave her hand immediately. Raman went to music system and switched on it and turned to Ishita but next moment their fade away listening the song, Ang laga de song from Rasleela movie. Ishita made a disgusting and angry face while Raman was scared seeing her face and saying sorry, quickly change the song which played Katra Katra song and it raised her anger. He again said sorry and this time connected his mobile for no more mistake and played the song which he had chosen...
ban ja tu meri rani
tenu mahal dawa doonga
ban meri mehbooba
main tenu taj pawa doonga
ban ja tu meri rani
tenu mahal dawa doonga
ban meri mehbooba
main tenu taj pawa doonga
Raman took Ishita to the other part of garden and both started swaying and dancing on the song.
sun meri raani raani
ban meri raani raani
shahjahaan main tera
tenu mumtaj bana doonga
ban ja tu meri rani
tenu mahal dawa doonga...
Ishita was lost in dance when Raman switched on a light there and showed it to her. There kept a beautiful crown of white lilies matching the song. Ishita saw it for sometimes and then again both started dancing.
badan tere di khushboo
mainu son na deve ni
raatan nu uth uth ke
socha baare tere ni
sun meri rani rani
ban meri rani rani
haan karde tu mainu
main duniya nu hila doonga
ban ja tu meri rani
tenu mahal dawa doonga...
He turned her around and passed his hands through her arms and hugged her from back intertwining their fingers. Both started swaying closing their eyes. Then he turned her again and danced together looking at each other.
ankhiyaan nu rehn de
ankhiyaan de kol kol
aaja ni aaja soNi
aaja mere dil de kol
He put his both arms on her shoulders and looked into her eyes and gave her a small heart taking out from his coat's pocket near his own heart on which JKR and RKB was written. Ishita took it smiling.
ankhiyaan nu rehn de
ankhiyaan de kol kol...
sun meri rani rani
ban meri rani rani
shahjahaan main tera
tenu mumtaj bana doonga
ban ja tu meri rani
tenu mahal dawa doonga...
Raman closed her eyes with his hand and holding her finger, made her go round two times and left her finger. Ishita opened her eyes after few seconds not feeling him and song already ended. There she saw him sitting on his both knees in front of her with a ring in his hands making her shocked. Her eyes were wide and Raman was smiling seeing her reaction.
R(smiling)-What happened?
Ishita was trying but she was too shocked to say or react thinking only one possible thing. Raman was enjoying her reaction but then said making her a little relieved.
R-Don't worry, propose nhi kar rha.
Ishita indicated towards the ring and he said,
R-This one is for our new start, our deal of life. I thought to seal the deal so that none of us will try to run away from it or forget it. As this is not a professional deal but a personal one so this one is best way to seal our deal. What do you think?
Ishita was happily looking at him with little tears when he again said,
R-At least say something.
I-Best of the best both, you and your idea too.
Saying so she hugged him by his neck but as he was sitting on ground, he couldn't balance and both fall on the ground. Raman smiled at her happiness and her act and said,
R-Pagal Madrassan, marvaayegi ek din tu.
Both were laying on the ground hugging with closed eyes for some time. Then Raman composed himself and said,
R-Marassan, meri kamar bad mein tod lena. Pahle deal seal karle.
Ishita was lying on him. She took a turn along with Raman making him startled. Now she was under him and Raman put his hand on ground to balance himself. He gave her a confused and angry look while Ishita said sorry and gave her finger to him. He made a surprised face and asked,
R-Here lie this only?
I-Yes. Different from all.
Raman shook his head on her act and made her wear the ring and both said together, "Deal of life partially sealed. And both smiled looking at each other. Raman stood up and brought the crown.
R-Are you ready to become my queen for whole life?
I-Yes.
He made her wear crown and both again lied on the ground little away from each other, looking at the sky. Both prayed for their new start. Both didn't realized when they slept there. Ishita felt chilled and hugging herself turned near Raman. Raman felt some movements and woke up. He realized that they slept in ground and saw Ishita hugging herself. He picked her and took her inside her room. He was making her sleep comfortably removing crown when she woke up Raman told her to change seeing her up and went to his room. He was in bed after changing and was trying to sleep but couldn't. He was feeling restless like he forgot something. Then after 20 minutes, he remembered something and run to Ishita's room. He saw her sleeping and relieved a little and walked towards her to check her and got worried to see her sweating in her sleep which he thought. He settled beside her and cleaned sweat off her face and took her in a hug and started rubbing her back like assuring her. Soon she was sleeping peacefully.
Next morning Ishita woke up and saw Raman sleeping beside her not so comfortable. She tried to made him sleep comfortable but he woke up quickly feeling her touch and seeing her all fine, got relieved.
I-Thank you, mera khyal rakhne ke liye aur sorry, meri vajah se...
R-Not again Ishita.I told you many times that you night mares are reducing with time and soon you wuill be from these. Now don't be sad. Get ready. We have to reach airport at 8am.
He said and went out of the room while Ishita got busy.
About night mares, it's not a big problem. Many years ago, all the three families were going on a trip but on last moment their plan got cancelled and same flight in which they were about to go, met with an accident and from that time Ishita used to have night mares in her sleep if someone from their families have flight another day.
Here I end this part, only Ishra. That's all for now. Waiting for your reviews and suggesstions...
Precap-Ishra back in Delhi with new twist.
