"Romi class mein chale.. aaj first hour Ishita mam ki hai.."

"Haan chalo.. mujhe meri jaaneman ka hour cut nahi karna.."

"Kya yaar.. woh hamari teacher hai.."

"Teacher hogi teri, meri darling hai darling.."

"Oye Romeo zyada dimag math chalavo.. class mein chalo.."

This is Romi a student of class 6, who is head over heels in love with his teacher Ishita Iyer. He never misses her class as that's the only time he gets to drool over her without any interruptions and also without the fear of being caught.

After school hours Ishita was standing in front of the school gate waiting for her bus, she was late today as she had to take extra class for class 10 students. All the students had already left, she was standing there alone when a bike stopped in front of her.

Raman: Baby come on lets go.

Ishu glared at Raman and moved away. He again went near her and said

Raman: Chalo na baby.. sorry for making you wait.. please baito

Ishu still glaring at her sat behind him. He smiled and shook his head at her antics, she too smiled and hugged him tight and both drove away together.

They drove threw the busy streets of Delhi and stopped the bike in front of their regular food stall and both got down.

Raman: Aaj kya chahiye meri jaan ko..

Ishu: Pani puri.. do plate..

Raman: Mein lekar aata hum, you stay here

Ishu nodded her head and sat on the bike. Soon he came with two plates of pani puri, her mouth watered seeing it. She grabbed it from him and began relishing it making weird voices. He was standing by her side and admiring her antics. Seeing him still she stuffed a pani puri into his mouth and laughed seeing his expression. After completing their pani puri they roamed around in the busy street, holding each others hand and enjoying the Delhi evening. After having dinner Raman dropped Ishita back to her hostel and went to his house.

This was their routine. Raman pick her up after her school, spend time with each other and then drop her back to her hostel.

Iyers are now settled in Chennai. IshRa met each other in college and fell in love.

Ishu: Raman I hinted appa and amma about us.

Raman: What did they say?

Ishu: Nothing.. they just shrugged it off

Raman: I'm also planning to tell maa..

Ishu: Hmm.. mujhe bohot tension horahi hai Raman. What if they don't agree??

Raman: Tu hamesha kyu ulti pulti sochte ho yaar.. kabhi kabhi positive be socho.. be positive

Ishu: You know na I love you a lot. I can't even think of being away from you

Raman: I won't let you go away.. tum mere liye bani ho..

Like this they talked for sometimes and hung up the call.

Raman was smiling remembering how they met in the college..

FLASHBACK

Mihir, Bala and Neil were sitting outside their college waiting for their best buddy Raman Kumar Bhalla better known as RKB heartthrob of the college.

A college, a pretty girl with long hair entered the campus. She was very nervous as well as excited. Nervous because she was new to this college and excited because it was her dream to study in this college.

She walked inside the campus, when she heard some whistling sound. She heard this and turned around to check.

"Oh Miss saara idhar aavo.." came the voice

Already nervous her got scared hearing this, but then decided to be bold and face them. She walked towards them taking slow steps.

Mihir: Tera naam kya hai?

Girl: Ish.. Ishita

Bala: Sunna nahi.. todhi zor se bolo

Ishita: Ishita Iyer

Mihir: Oh madrasi ho..

Bala notices her holding the strap of her bag tightly and says

Neil: Haan Miss Madras ye college hai.. school nahi jahan tum apna bag aur lunch pack karke aavonge..

Mihir: Oh toh tume bag bhi hai.. par hume toh nahi haina.. so let me check what is in it

and snatched the bag from her. Ishita tried to take it back from them, but they were tall for her and she tried to snatch it back but they kept on exchanging the back between them. That is when our hero enters. Raman snatches the bag from Mihir, seeing this the whole gang got silent, Ishita slightly smiled seeing Raman.

Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare,
Hum Toh Deewane Hai Tumhare
Raj Yeh Kaise Khol Rahi Ho

Raman also smiled but the smile soon turned into a smirk and before she could understand the meaning of his smirk he turned the bag upside down and all the things in the bag fell down and threw the empty bag on her face.

The whole college gathered around her and began to laugh, Raman smirked and went away with Mihir, Bala and Neil.

Ishita bend down and picked up her things muttering curses while Raman turned back and smiled at her which was unnoticed by others including Ishita.

As it was their first day, they had classes till noon. So Ishu reached her home and threw her bag away, switched on the AC and fell on her bed.

She remembered Raman and co ragging her and was hell angry.

Next day, Ishita came to college, all the guys in the college were looking at her with a mocking laugh. Seeing this she just wanted to disappear from there, but alas she couldn't.

During the lunch break, Ishita was walking by the pool side, when Neil kept his leg and that caused Ishita to slip into the pool. All were laughing seeing this, while Ishita was drowning. All saw this but didn't pay any attention as they thought she is just pranking and continued the laughing section.

Hearing the chaos, Mihika came there(She is Ishita's cousin sister) and was shocked to see the scene in front on her.

Mihika: Help! Help! Please someone help her, she is drowning. She is hydrophobic..

All were shocked to know this and some guys jumped in the pool and took her out. Soon she was given the first aid and taken to the hospital. Doctors treated her and said she is fine and they could take her home when she gains her consciousness.

Evening Mihika took her back to home.

Next day, during break time, Ishita was sitting with Mihika in the classroom actually she was afraid of going out. Mihir, Bala and Neil saw them and thought to apologise to Ishu, so they walked inside the classroom.

Raman came to the college and came to know about last days issues, he was shocked and literally ran to Ishu's class and hugged her tight. Mihir, Bala, Neil and Mihika stood confused. Ishu stood there still not knowing how to react. Raman came out of the hug and asked cupping her face

Raman: Tu teek hona..

Jaadu Aate Hai Tumko Saare
Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare,
Hum Toh Deewane Hai Tumhare
Chhu Lete Ho Taar Jo Dil Ke,

Ishu just nodded her head and walked away.

Bala: What was happening here??

Raman: Abey saale.. I have to ask that.. what the hell was that.. how dare you do that to her?
*Raman asked holding Bala's collar*

Mihir freed them and said

Mihir: We didn't know she is hydrophobic. It was just a prank

Raman: Keep your just pranks with yourselves. Don't dare do anything to her.

Bala: Raman yaar.. why are you reacting like this. We used to do all this everyone.

Raman: Correct, we used to do it with everyone but she isn't everyone.. she is my everything!!

Bala: What!!

Raman: She is my girlfriend.. we were neighbours since I came here.

Mihir: But you never told us. Even you irritated her yesterday

Raman: She asked me to not reveal about our relationship to anyone. So I was just teasing her.

Neil: How did you guys meet?

Raman: Kya bathavu.. *with a dreamy smile*

Raman was coming in a hurry. He didn't notice someone coming opposite to him and they suddenly collided with each other. She closed her eyes in anticipation, Raman was fast enough to save her from the fall by holding her by her waist. Her eyes were shut tightly in fear and it was making her look uber cute. After sometimes when she didn't touch the floor she opened her eyes only to meet his chocolate brown ones. Both were lost in each other, Ishu's trance was broken as she felt his ice cold hands on her bare skin of her waist*she was in half saree*. She blushed and ran away. Raman fell for this innocent lil baby Ishu. Ishu was blushing remembering this encounter.

Tum Hi Batao Tum Se Milke
Jaanu Dil Koyi Kyon Naa Haare,
Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare

Next day he saw her standing in front of their building, he went near her.

Jism Damakta Jaadu Jaadu,
Zulf Ghaneri Khushbu Khushbu
Sansein Hamari Mehki Mehki,
Najrein Tumhari Behki Behki

From then on nobody dared to look at Ishu as everyone was scared of RKB's wrath. Ishu and Mihika became their members of their gang.

Ishu joined got posting as teacher in Delhi KV so she stayed their in a hostel. Raman's house is in Delhi itself, rest all went back to their houses.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Raman told his parents about IshRa, they were more than happy to accept Ishu as their DIL. They talked to Iyers too and all decided to meet once before fixing the marriage date.

After two days, all gathered at hotel Pacific, Delhi. Only IshRa weren't present. Romi was happy thinking that now his route is clear as his bhai is getting married soon and next will be his turn*poor soul*

Elders were discussing about the marriage dates so they asked Romi and Mihika to be with IshRa.

IshRa were sitting near the pool enjoying each other's company, when out of nowhere these two jumped in.

As soon as Romi saw Ishita his tiny heart crushed into several pieces. Ishita too saw Romi and said

Ishu: Hi Romi

Mihika: You know each other

Ishu: Yeah.. he is my student

Mihika: Oh.. Romi now you can just chill in the school buddy. Sab tumhari bhabhi handle karlegi

Ishu: Mikhu!! Romi aisa kuch nahi karegii.. he is my favourite student *and ruffled his hair*

This broke the last straw of control in Romi and he ran to his parents. IshRa and Mihika too were shocked to see his reaction and ran behind him. They saw Romi going towards their parents crying.

Toshiji: Kya huwa mera baccha.. ro kyu rahe ho

Madhu: Bolo kanna kya huwa

Romi: How could you do this to me maa.. You cheated me.. you all cheated me

All were confused hearing him.

Mr Bhalla: Humne kya kiya.. bol puttar

He asked Raman what's the matter. He too shrugged saying he too don't know.

Toshiji: Romi puttar kya huwa.. bolo puttar..

And between the hiccups he managed to say

Romi: How could you make bhai marry my girlfriend.

IshRa were like what the hell!!

Raman: Kyaa!! *he exclaimed*

Romi: Mein sacchi bol raha hum bhai.. if go and ask my friends they all know

Raman: Know what..

Romi: That she is my jaaneman

All were shocked hearing this. Ishu burst into laughter followed by others. Ishu made him sit in her lap and pecked his cheeks.

Ishu: You are so cute!!

After lots of convincing and promises Romi agreed for IshRa marriage.

Romi: Aapna promise maath bhoolna, you should find a girl who looks exactly like bhabhi

All smiled hearing him, of course except Raman who was burning in jealous, and nodded their head in agreement.

Tumhara Badan Hai Jaise Chaman,
Hosh Uda De Yeh Nazaarein
Tauba Tumhare Yeh Ishare,
Hum Toh Deewane Hai Tumhare
