Raman look at the newspaper and said -aise le toh aaya but ab baahar kaise jaun. How to face papa now, I am very sure he will fire me for doing such stupidity. He was thinking when he heard, kya hua raman??
Raman opened her eyes and saw ishita standing infront of him wearing a tee with shorts while her long hair was open and wet like she has just taken her shower.
Raman was lost in her beauty while she look down feeling his gaze. Her cheeks turned red seeing him looking at her with open mouth.
Ishita -aise kya dekh rahe hai, Raman?? She asked blushing red breaking raman's trance.
He hide the paper behind him and said -tum mere kamre mein??
Ishita -haan, don't u remember, I slept in ur room last night. Kyunki hume darr lag raha tha.
Raman -oh yes, jao maa -papa aa gaye hai. Mil lo.
Ishita -aunty -uncle aa gaye, hume change kar lena chahiye.
Raman -kyun, u r looking good, actually very good. Bahut hi achchi lag rahi ho. Change karne ki zarurat nahi. But waise bhi, tumhe joh pasand ho woh pehna Karo. Dusron ki pasand par mat chalo. OK. He said to which she nodded and start going outside. But stopped and said -hum sach mein thik lag rahe hai, yaa phir badal le. She asked to which he walked to her. He hold her head and pecked her temple, she closed her eyes feeling his touch. Both remained in the same position for sometime and then he break the kiss and said -now I think u got ur answer. Saying so he went taking the newspaper while ishita just stood there for sometime trying to feel his lips on her forehead again. Then she went from there smiling fully.
She went to her room and stood infront of the mirror. She caressed her temple and said -aisa kya hai unke touch mein ki hum har baar kho jaate hai. Kitna achcha lagta hai jab woh hume choote hai, itna achcha hume kabhi nahi lagaa. Kyun lagta hai ki hum sirf unke liye hi bane hai, jaise hume choone ka haq sirf unko hai. Hey durga maiya yeh kya kar rahi hai aap hamare saath. Kahin hume raman se pyaar toh nahi ho raha. She was looking at herself and thinking.
On the other hand, Raman removed the front page of the newspaper and went out. Mr bhalla saw him and said to toshiji -aa gaya aapka ladka, Puchiye Isse kya tha woh, why he snatched newspaper from me. Aisa kya tha usme, u know he snatched the paper like it was some treasure's map. He said with a grumpy face.
Toshiji look at Raman and said -kyun karta hai aisa, waise bhi har samay inka muh phula rehta hai. Why u took his newspaper. Don't u know, it's his first love.
Raman -sorry papa, actually mihir ne kaha kisi bade wedding ke baare mein likha hai, someone want planner so I took it. Sorry.
Toshiji -itni si baat,bhalla ji uske business ke liye le gaya tha.
Mr bhalla -yahin baat hai?? He asked being suspicious.
Raman -ofcourse papa, aur kya hoga. Maa breakfast banao, mujhe jaana hai kaam par.
Mr bhalla -aur TV ka cable wire kyun kata hai.
Raman look at him and said -cable wire??I don't know. Ho sakta hai tut gaya ho. Main thik karwa dunga.
Mr bhalla -r u sure raman, tum humse kuch chupa nahi rahe ho.
Raman look at his father and said -ofcourse not papa, main kya chupaunga.
Mr bhalla -pata nahi kyun, I am feeling that u r lying.
Raman -kuch bhi papa, maa mujhe breakfast do. I have to go. He said getting worried as his father's questions. Though he was trying to behave normally but his restlessness was clearly visible.
Mr bhalla was about to ask something more when Toshiji served the breakfast and said -kya bina matlab ke jasusi kar rahe hai. Kat gaya hoga wire, Raman keh raha hai naa ki woh thik karwa dega, bas khatam kijiye aur brealfast kijiye. She said and called ishita too. Ishita came and hugged toshiji greeting her. Toshiji hugged her warmly and all start eating.
Raman was eating and thinking ways to keep the missing news of ishita under wrap. He finished his breakfast asap and went out leaving mr bhalla thinking.
Raman went to the newspaper delivery boy and gave him some money and told him to give newspaper after removing the page where ishita's missing news will be there. The boy asked the reason but then shut up getting the money. Then he went to the cable man, he gave him money too and told him to repair the wire but remove all the news channel and tell his parent that it's because of technical fault. He too asked the reason but Raman shut his mouth by giving him money.
Raman -i don't know yeh karke main kitne din ishita ko bacha paaunga but I will try till the last. Main ishita ko unn logon ke paas wapas nahi bhejunga. Hey matarani just help me in this. He prayed to matarani and went to his work.
Days start passing normally, Raman planned work and till now nobody came to know about ishita's identity. Everything was going smoothly, ishra has come more closer then before. Ishita spend most of her time with Toshiji and Raman. Toshiji teach her cooking and other household work while Raman teach her about everything else. He was keeping a proper eye on every single news about ishita and her family and very tactfully saving ishita everytime.
One evening, Ishita entered the hall and saw the decorations was going on. She walked to toshiji and said -good evening aunty.
Toshiji look at her and said -uth gayi puttar, aaja baith aur meri help kar.
Ishita nodded and settle next to her helping her in work.
Ishita -yeh kya ho raha hai aunty ji.
Toshiji -yeh, yeh puttar karwachauth ki taiyaari ho rahi hai. kal karwachauth hai naa.
Ishita -karwachauth, yeh kya hota hai aunty ji??
Toshiji -yeh Ek vrat hota hai puttar, joh biwiyan apne pati ki long life aur prosperity ke liye karti hai.
Ishita -oh wow, Matlab teej ki tarah.
Toshiji -haan puttar, waise hi.
Ishita -toh unmarried ladkiyan bhi rakh sakti hai kya iss vrat ko??
Toshiji -haan puttar, even unmarried girls can keep this fast to get the man of her choice as her husband. She said making ishita's eyes sparkled in joy.
Ishita -matlab agar hum kisi ke baare mein soch kar vrat rakhe toh hume woh pati ke roop mein mil jaayenge.
Toshiji -aap shahrukh khan ke baare mein soch kar rakhogi toh shayad naa mile, as he is already married. But in most of the cases girls get man of their choice. Agar tere dil mein bhi koi hai toh tu bhi usse liye vrat rakhti sakti hai. She said making ishita smile.
Toshiji -but u have to tell me his name first.
Ishita composed herself hearing this and said -hamare dil mein koi nahi hai ,aunty ji. Aur naa hum kisi ke liye vrat rakhenge, hum toh bas yun hi puch rahe the. She said and went to her room excusing herself while Raman, who was listening to their convo came to toshiji and asked -maa, agar koi ladka yeh vrat rakhen to kya usse bhi uski pasand ki ladki mil jayegi.
Toshiji smiled hearing this and asked-tujhe koi pasand hai kya??
Raman -nahi, I just asked.
Toshiji -mil bhi sakti hai, agar matarani ki kripa rahi.
Raman -ok maa, u know u r the best. He said and went leaving toshiji smiling.
Toshiji -tum dono ka toh pata nahi but main jarur tum dono ke Ek saath hone ki dua karungi. She said smiling, on the other both ishra started planning to keep fast for each other.
