Gulabo was making dinner for ishita when his phone rang. He picked it and said -hai maa, he said in feminine voice by mistake.
Toshiji -teri awaaz ko kya ho gaya puttar??
Raman corrected his voice and said -kuch nahi maa, bolo kya hua??
Toshiji -tu kahan hai puttar, kab ghar aayega??
Raman felt restlessness in her voice and said -kya hua maa, aap worried lag rahi ho??
Toshiji -ek bahut bura sapna dekha Maine, tu thik hai naa puttar.
Raman -haan maa, aap pareshan mat hoiye. I am all fine.
Toshiji -tu jaldi aaja puttar.mujhe achcha nahi lag raha.
Raman -aap thik se raho, maa. I will come asap. He said and hung the call. He made the food asap and went to his room telling ishita.
Raman went to the nearest hotel and changed into his clothes .then he went to his house. He entered the mansion and saw toshiji sitting and waiting for him. Raman walked to her and said -kya hua, maa??
Toshiji saw him and hugged him tight.
Raman hugged her back and said -kya hua maa??
Toshiji -kuch nahi puttar, akele bahut kharab lag raha tha, glad u came.
Raman -chalo maa,khana kha lete hai.
Toshiji nodded and both sat to eat together.
Toshiji served him food and said -aaj kal tu kahan rehta hai puttar, mujhe bahut akelapan lagta hai tere bina. Itna bhi kya kaam karna puttar, hum do hi toh hai. Mere paas raha kar puttar. Pata nahi kab main bhi chali jaun. She was saying when Raman said -kya bol rahi ho maa,abhi toh bahut jeena hai tujhe, meri biwi ko welcome Karna hai, mere bachchon ki nappy change Karna hai.
Toshiji -tu shaadi bhi toh nahi kar raha, puttar. Ki mera ghar bachchon se bhar jaaye.
Raman -kya Matlab bhar jaaye,main cricket team banane wala hoon kya, waise I am working on this project only. Ho sakta hai jaldi tujhe teri bahu mil jaaye. He said making toshiji happy.
Toshiji -sachchi puttar.
Raman -haan maa, mujhe Ek ladki pasand hai.
Toshiji -kya, oye balle balle, mujhe uska address de, main abhi baat karti hoon uske gharwalon se.
Raman -thand rakho, maa. Mujhe woh pasand hai, usse main nahi. Let me make her fall in love with me, then will bring her home.
Toshiji-jaldi kar, puttar. Now I can't wait.
Raman-bas ussi mein lagaa hoon maa.aap bas khud ko thik rakhiye, very soon I will bring ur bahu home, OK. He said to which she happily nodded .both had their dinner together and went to sleep.
On the other hand, ishita had her dinner and was looking at Raman's news and pics on the net. She was getting impressed by his success and charity work. He read about his family and got to know about his father demise few years back. And after his father's demise he single-handedly managed everything. She read many articles about him being so down to earth and helping. She was getting impressed by him as she was reading about him.
Ishita -mr bhalla is such a nice person. Har jagah sirf unki tareef chapi hai. Aaj ki duniya mein bhi aise log hote hai kya, I mean he is so soft spoken, kind hearted.these kind of people r hard to find. She was thinking about him keeping her lappy down.
She lay down on the bed thinking about him and felt an urge to talk to him. She took her phone and called his number but next moment she realised what she is doing and hung the call. But next moment, hey phone start ringing. She saw the display and saw it was his name.
Ishita -shit, ab kya kahungi, that why I was calling him so late. She said and then said again thinking, let it ring, I will not pick the phone. She thought and avoid it.
On the other hand, he was go on calling her thinking there must be some urgency that she called him. But when she didn't picked his phone, he got worried and messaged her.she got up hearing the message tone and saw it was from his number only. She opened it and read, what happened miss iyer ,u r fine naa. Why u r not picking up phone. Koi problem hai kya, please do reply or else I am coming to ur house.
Ishita read it and felt bad for disturbing him so late and even making him worried but she was feeling happy too seeing his concern for her. No-one has ever cared for her like this, neither she ever wanted it but she was feeling good with his concern. She was lost in thinking about him when her phone rang again.
She picked the phone in a jiffy and slowly said -mr bhalla.
Raman sighed in relief hearing her voice and said -ishita, kahan thi tum yaar, I got worried. U r OK naa.
Ishita -yes, I am fine, Aap itne worried mat hoiye. She said making Raman realise that he is being over concerned for her.
Raman -haan, actually u called me so late, so I thought, tum thik ho naa.
Ishita -yes, I just wanted to say thanks to u, aapne bahut badi help ki thi meri, woh bhi do baar. So thought to thank u once again.
Raman -its OK ishita, hope I can call u that.
Ishita thought for a while and said -ok,mr bhalla.
Raman -please call me raman, Mr bhalla sounds like buddha. He said and she smiled.
Then both became silent not knowing what to talk when Raman said -u had ur dinner??
Ishita -yes, aur aapne khaya dinner??
Raman -yes, aur batao, how r u??
Ishita -we met in the morning only.
Raman -yes, OK then, kuch bolo.
Ishita -main kya bolun, I don't have anything to say. Aap bolo.
Raman -main kuch bolun agar tumhe bura naa lage.
Ishita -haan boliye.
Raman -u look beautiful in Saree aur agar woh saree blue ho toh, bahut hi khoobsurat.
Ishita -u like blue??
Raman -its my favourite.
Ishita -achcha, aur kya kya pasand hai aapko??
Raman -nothing much, maa ke saath kya khana, Unka pyaar se haath pherna, butter chicken aur lassi, and what's ur favourite??
Ishita-nothing precise but I like company of good people. She said and both smiled ,like this they talked for long and finally slept feeling happy.
From next day, both start talking at night, though they meet everyday but hardly talks in the office but greet each other. Then in night they use to talk for long. Ishita told about raman to gulabo and he use to encourage ishita to talk to Raman. He use to praise raman making ishita feeling more for him.
A week passed like this, one night Raman was driving his car fastly to reach Ishita's house before her but stopped the car seeing ishita standing on the road.
Raman did the glass down and said -arey ishita , aap yahan??
Ishita -hello raman , actually my car broke down. Mechanic ko call kiya hai bas ussi ka wait kar rahi hoon.
Raman -ohh, come I drop u home.
Ishita -nahi nahi, it's OK. Main chali jaaungi.
Raman -please ishita, I insist. Aise aapko akele kaise chod sakta hoon, please let me drop u. He said insisting to which she just nodded and settle in her car.
He start driving towards her house looking at her in between smiling.
Ishita -thank u, I was waiting there since an hour.
Raman -nobody stop their car to help u?? Strange
Ishita -actually roka toh kai ne,but main hi kisi ke saath nahi gayi. U know naa how these days people r. Taking advantage of single girl.
Raman -yes, these days girls r too unsafe. That's why I didn't left u alone, but thank god u came with me, actually thank u for trusting on me.
Ishita -aapko itna toh jaanti hoon ki aap par bharosha kar sakun, mujhe lagta hai aap mera bharosha nahi todenge. She said smiling while he too smiled and said -never, saying so he continued driving while she was looking at him.
That's all for now, enjoy and do comment and hit like. Will wait for it.
