Ishita was climbing down the stairs when she listened pummy aunty " toshi your son and daughter in law is beautiful but you never talked about her behaviour .how is she ,is she nice ,how is her attitude towards you, did she listen to you ar not ,moreover hos is Ramans behaviour towards you . Did he listens to his wife or you too ,kahin Joru ka gulam to nahi ban gaya tera puttar."

T- nothing like that my Raman is too good , he loves me a lot ,ishita too is very nice girl .

P- I m surprised that you got such a nice daughter in law but you never talked to me ever about her ,they stay with you only na ?

T- yeah ,they live with me only ,there's no reason behind not talking about ishita .

Ishita noticed that toshiji was feeling uncomfortable in answering pummy aunty ,so she jumped in conversation changing the topic .

I- aunty what are you going to buy from here ?

P- everybody's dresses for the wedding , you have to come with us to help .

I- (rolling her eyes )- in that case I have to ask to my boss .

P- boss , arey can't you take a day leave from your office .

I- actually I can , but my boss is very khadoos , he don't give me leaves .

P- arey aise kaise ...

That's when Raman showed up ,ishita smiled fully on his sight and said " aunty ji my boss has come ,you can ask it yourself ".

P(confused)- who is your boss .

Ishita blushed and signalled towards Raman , pummy aunty smirked and said " then why are you worrying, not only you but I still take your boss too to for shopping ".

Pummy aunty teased ishra and theh blushed, the family talked for sometime more then ishita went to set dinner for everybody. All were praising ishita's culinary skills when she cleared " why you all are praising me instead of mummyji ".

PS- what does that mean, hadn't you made the food .

I- not exactly ,actually I don't make non veg food ,so mummy ji had made chicken while I had made veg dishes.

P- thars so strange you eat non veg but don't cook .

I- I m so sorry ,but I don't eat non veg food.

P- is it so .

She asked looking towards Raman , he nodded, then asked " does that make difference ".

P- no not at all ,I was just surprised that she still had not started eating non veg being in punjabi family .

R- not yet , may be after some time.

He said ,looking towards ishita ,she made a scared face and spoke " no no ,I m not going to eat those foods, I m tam barm ".

That's when mummy's daughter in law,who had made a nice bonding with ishita pulled her closer and said "I think you are not any more tam bram ".

I- why ?

Rw- because you must had kissed Raman bhai and as he is non veg ,you must had tasted his lips which are non vegetarian.

Ishita made a dirty face and spoke " this so gross ".

Rw- no it's not, rather that is reality .

Ishita made faces and continued eating ,soon the dinner got over ,ishita wrapped up her work and went to room . She found Raman doing his work ,sitting in couch , Raman saw her and spoke " I m working, you can sleep on bed ".

Ishita nodded and went to change, soon she returned and went to bed . She too worked for sometimes and then went to sleep.Next morning Raman went to office while ishita stays back in house ,to look after the guests . Raman had promised that he will come in afternoon and then they all can go for shopping.

Later in afternoon Raman came back from office and all went for shopping . Pummy aunty and family were picking various outfits while bhalla's were helping them . Ishita liked a lahenga very much ,she ignored thinking why she should somuch money on outfit when the actual occasion is not in her family but at some relatives marraige. But she liked it a lot ,after much debating she thought to pick it but before that she thought to ask Raman , thinking what if he don't want to spend somuch money on her . Deciding so she went near Raman and stood beside him,she stood there for sometimes without saying something while others were busy in choosing the dresses. Raman noticed ishita and asked " ishita do you want to say something ".

I- (nervously)- nahi, haan ... wo actually.

Raman chuckled and spoke " you nervous, what happened ."

I- nahi wo actually, should I ask something ,you won't be angry na...

R- atfirst tell me what's it ,then I will decide .

I- no first You tell me you won't be angry .

R- arey atfirst you tell me what's the matter ,then only I can decide na .

He spoke getting irritated ,she made a sad face and spoke " leave it ,may be you won't like it ".

Saying so she was going when he held her hand firmly and asked " tell me what's it ".

I- wo actually...

She stopped in mid ,seeing him bit angry but he asked "what was it. "

I(meekly)- I like that silver and pink color lahenga very much ,can I have it ...

Raman made a confused face and asked almost laughing " you were asking about that lahenga ".

I- yeah ,can I buy it .

R- ofcourse you can ,I wonder why even you are asking .

I- its bit costly ,you know about ...

R- whatever it cost you can have it , your husband earn quite enough to fulfil your demands.

Ishita got too happy listening to him and asked again " to main le loon ".

R- ofcourse ,not only that but take that blue and that grey color saree too ,they will look beautiful on you .

Ishita was on cloud nine listening to this and walked towards the counter happily when toshiji showed two sarees to her and asked " ishira do you like these sarees , I had selected them for you . Ishita's eyes were now moist thinking about the affection Raman and toshiji had for her , she had bot done good with them but they are doing every possible thing to made her happy . Toshiji saw her lost and asked " ishira if you don't like this, you can choose another one ."

Ishita nodded and said " mummyji Raman wanted me to take that blue and that grey one ."

Toshiji told the sales person to show them the sarees ,he did same and as Raman toshiji too liked the sarees instantly and got it packed for ishita. Then they shopped somemore and now they wanted to go to jewellery shop but they had given some cloths for alteration to the tailor . Ishra told that other can go to the jewellery shop while they will join after collection those cloths . All agreed to yhus and moved towards the jewellery shop . Ishra were in men section as she wanted to pick some nice cloths for Raman too ,though they had already taken some but she wanted to take one with her sole choice and he had to agree to her . They were going through the designer kurta when Raman received a call from his office , he excused himself and went out to take the call as the signal was weak inside the shop . Ishits was still choosing the best kurta for him when she got banged with someone , she didn't even looked at the person and said sorry, then moved forward when she heard " ishita iyer is that you ".

Ishita got surprised listening to her name, she immediately turned to see the person and got horrified noticing that it was Ashok Khanna. She turned pale seeing Ashok standing in front if her, no words escaped from her mouth , she didn't even tried to move away from him rather was still standing there as her mind has stopped for the moment. While she was glued to her place, Ashok walked to her and spoke smirking " I was wondering where you vanished but finally I got you . "

He spoke and tried to touch her cheek, she immediately shrugged his hand and spoke " don't you dare touch me ".

A- you know you owe me something for leaving the job without giving the prior notice .

Ishita couldn't speak anything as he was right, she had signed the contract at the time of joining the job that if she wanted to leave the job she has to give a month notice or she has to give 45 days salary as penalty ,so for now she owes him about seventy thousand Rs or he can take legal actions against her . She was lost in her thoughts when she felt his touch again on her cheek ,she glared him while Ashok says " I know you can't arrange that money, it's kind of big for you ,so i have another option ."

Ishita tried to curl herself and looked at him, he smirked and spoke " just one night and you are free ".

The moment he completed himself ,he felt a his cheek burning due to the hard slap she has placed on it . His eyes widened in shock and rage,he clutched ishita's hair and spoke greeting his teeth " you are going to pay for it ".

Saying so he pressed her mouth and started taking her along when ashok felt a hard punch on his face, before he could compose himself ishita was pulled from his grip . Raman cupped ishita's face and asked " ishita you ok ".

Ishita hugged him tightly and cried on his chest , he caressed her hairs softly and spoke " you stay here for sometimes till I teach him his lesson ."

Saying so Raman clutched Ashoks collar and shouted punching him hard " how dare you touch her ".

Listening to his loud voice many peoples gathered along with the store manager and orger staff ,they all started asking when Raman said " call the police this man was misbehaving with my wife ".

All started talking into themselves, while the manager called the police and others started beating Ashok along with Raman . Ishita pulled Raman from the crowd and spoke " Raman stop is police is coming na ."

R- so ,he tried to hurt you .

I- I know but don't beat him somuch ,what if something happens to him ,I don't want to see you in trouble because of me .

R- what the hell are you talking ,how fan you take his side when he tried to kidnap you .

I- I agree he did wrong but you know we are here with family , what if they witness this .

R- I don't care ,I m beating a person who had bad eye on my wife ,so non will say anything.

I- I agree with everything but let the police come .

R- I m not going to leave him .

I- and I don't want to drag this ,I don't want his shadow on our life and he is not a good news .

R- let it be I don't care .

Saying so he walked towards Ashok where police has arrived and was arresting him . Raman told ishita to go to family while he is going to police station to file the FIR.lshita was reluctant but Raman assured her that everything will be ok ,she can just join the family ,telling everyone that he had gone for an important work and will return soon . Though she was not ready but he convinced her anyhow and left behind the police while ishita went to collect the cloths and join others .

Thars all for now ,enjoy reading and do comment.
