Part 12.....
On the other hand ishita sat in her car gasped heavily with closing eyes as if trying to calm herself down. Flashes of their kiss was flashing in front of her eyes. Her eyes fell on the mirror she noticed her lips were swollen she touched her lips and thought to herself
Ishita(st): what is happening to me..... Why am not able to resist him. Why am not feeling dirty with his touches, why i am drowning in his passion. Am i falling in love with him..... No ishita you can't....control yourself..... I think i should maintain safe distance with him...... Yes it will be better for me......i won't let him win over me....
Thinking so she drove off towards her house. In cafe mihir was waiting for mihika to come but she was taking long time to come. After one and half hour she finally showed up making mihir sigh of relief
Mihika while taking her seat in front of mihir: hi.... Mihir.....
Mihir: finally mihika tum aa gyi......btao kya logi.... Coffee...

Mihir while smiling: jiju and all...not bad.. Haan....vese tum thik keh rhi ho....

They left after settling the bills. At night in bhalla mantion. All were having dinner when simmi spoke
Simmi: papa..... Apko yaad hai ek hafte baad apki aur mumma ki anniversary hai.....
Rinki: wow.... Papa....kyuna abhi baar apki anniversary pr party rakhe.....
Mr. Bhalla: iski koi jarurat nhi hai rinki..... Hum ghar me hi ese hi celebrate kr lenge....
Toshiji: haan bhallaji thik keh rhe hai....
Romi: kya papa... Aap bhi apko nhi krna pr hume toh krna hai..... Haina bhai.... He asked while elbowing raman who was lost somewhere.
Raman: huh!.... Haan papa.... Apki anniversary ka celebration abki baar grand hona chahiye..... Aur aap party ki chinta mat kro sare agreements ho jayenge.....
Rinki: wow...... Mumma toh kal hum shopping chalein.....
Toshiji: thik hai.... Chalenge.....all got happy hearing her. Soon all retired to their room after dinner.
Next morning ishita and raman left for their office. Ishita was sitting in her cabin when her secretary inform her about the meeting with ragav's at bhalla industries in next half an hour.
Ishita: oh shit mai bhool kese gyi..... I should leave now..... Presentation bhi check kr leti hu pehle fir nikalti hu....
Saying so she left after some time. She was on the way when she remembered yesterday event. She closed her eyes and thought to herself with determination
Ishita(st): ishita.....kal wali galti nhi honi chahiye....... Maintain safe distance with raman..... Remember that you are going there just for business nothing else matters to you ......keep calm and just concentrate on the meeting....
Soon she reached bhalla industries and went inside. They made her sit in conference room. After some 10 minutes raman entered the conference room only to found ishita who was working on her laptop. Ishita looked at him and their eyes get locked in no time with each other. It was ishita who broke the eye lock by looking other side.
Raman while taking his seat: hi ishita....
Ishita smiled meekly getting conscious: hello...
Raman: so.... Is presentation ready?....
Ishita: yes.... I have made it yesterday itself...
Raman smiled meekly and muttered to himself: yaar kese baat shuru kru.... Kese mafi mangu iss madrasan se.....
Ishita: huh!.... Apne kuch kha..
Raman: huh!.... N.. Nhi.... Haan i was saying that it great you have made
Raman: glad u made presentation yesterday itself ....u are genius....
Ishita narrowed her eyes hearing himas he called her genius. She felt something fishy about him. And asked is he all right.
Raman muttered under his breath: genius.... What the hell i m talking..... Yaar raman tujhe mafi mangni hai madrassan se.... Yeh kya hai genius and all.... Be a man... You are RKB.... U can do it....
Seeing him muttering something ishita shook him a little and again asked if is he all right.
Raman: huh!... Haan... Haan mai thik hu... Actually ishita mujhe tumse kuch jaruri baat krni thi....
Ishita: boliye....
Raman: vo... Ishita... Vo.. Whatever...
He was about to speak further when intercom buzzed he made face and picked it up. His secretary inform him about ragav's arrival. He asked his secretary to bring them in conference room. Raman informed ishita about the same.
After a while a handsome man in his mid twenties entered the room.
Man: hello!...mr. bhalla....
Raman and ishita got up from there seats to greet him when ishita exclaimed in happiness screaming his name
Ishita happily: maniiii...... You here.....
She hugged him without minding raman's and opther people presence around them. He also back hugged her. She broke the hug and asked
Ishita: how you are here mani.....
Mani: ishu.... I m the same man with whom your meeting is at scheduled today....abhimanyu ragav!
Ishita hit her head lightly and spoke: oh my god.... How can i forget ragav's is abhimanyu ragav sorry sorry....
Mani: i won't accept your sorry..... U have to do something else.....
Ishita: ok... Fine as u say....
They were talking and smiling while raman was staring them as an outsider. He was feeling left out being standing there. On the other hand he wasn't liking the comfort level of them. The way mani was calling ishita as ishu and ishita addressing him mani.
Mani: ok first official kaam khatm kr lete hain.... Fir baad mein unofficial.... Ok
Ishita smiling: done!.....have a seat mani oh sorry sorry officially i should call u mr. Ragav... Haina
Mani: no need ishu.... U can call me mani.....
Ishita: ok....
Ishita: sorry raman..... Actually he is my....
Raman sarcastically: no need to tell me i know him he is mr. Ragav... Let start the presentation......
Mani: sorry mr. Bhalla for wasting your time.... Lets start the presentation....
Ishita started her presentation. She gave amazing presentation and mani was astonished by her business skills.
Mani: wow.... Ishu.... U were just fabulous.... I didn't know that you are such a great business woman.... I must say Beauty with brain haan....
Ishita: thanks mani..... So deal...
Mani: haan bhai mujhe toh yeh deal manjoor hai....
After signing the paper mani asked his secretary and manager to leave. They left after collecting the paper and file leaving trio raman ishita and mani in conference room
Mani: mr. bhalla apko toh pta nhi hai.... Ishu pehel doctor banna chahti thi but fir pta nhi kese she completely turned into business woman....isn't she great....
Raman looked at ishita and nodded in his head with a little smile on his face and muttered under his breath: yeh toh kuch bhi kr sakti hai.... Jhansi ki rani jo hai....
Mani: ishu abhi koi meeting hai tumhari....
Ishita: no.... Abhi toh nhi hai.....kyu....
Mani: coffee date pe chalein.....
Ishita: ok....
Raman who was staring them didn't like the way mani asking ishita about coffee he thought to himself
Raman(st): isse dekho....kahaan se aa gya yeh shani meri life..... Kise chipk kr beth gya ishita ko....mere samne hi usse hug kr rha hai... Usse mai nhi dikhyi de rha hu kya... Kese ignore kr rha hai... Or yeh madrassan isko kya ho gya....mujhe toh khud kareeb bhi nhi ane deti aur uske sath kese hug kr rhi hai... Aur toh aur has has ke baat kr rhi hai... Mujhse toh kabhi dhang se baat nhi ki aur iske sath sbke samne mani mani kr rhi hai.... Aur toh aur date pr jane ko bhi ready ho gyi...mai bhi dekhta hu ki kese jati hai yeh date pr iss shani ke sath....
Raman: amm..... Ishita......mujhe tumse baat krni hai kuch very important.....
Ishita: boliye....
Raman: vo kya hai na... Vo.....haan mujhe tumse hmare project ke bare mein discuss krna hai....
Ishita: kya discuss krna hai raman..... Vo sab toh humne pehle hi discuss kr liya hai na.... Toh ab achaanak apko kya discuss krna hai.....
Raman: aree.....why are u not understanding.... I want to discuss something....
Ishita: ok.... Will discuss tomorrow.... Now i have to leave......
Raman: nhi tum nhi jaa sakti......vo mera matlab hai ki.... Mujhe abhi discuss krna kal mai yahaan nhi hounga.....
Ishita looked at mani and spoke while apologising: mani.... Sorry aaj hum nh in jaa sakte.... Kya hum kal jaa sakte hain....
Mani: ok ishu....but meri ek condition hai.... Kal tumhe sara din mere sath spend krna hoga ok.....
Ishita hugged him: thanks mani..... U are a gem..... Done.... Kal. Mai sara din tumhare sath rahungi..... Ok...
Mani: ok. Ishu.... Take care now i have to leave..... Ok mr. Bhalla... Nice to meet you.....
Raman with fake smile: same here.....
Raman(st): what the hell u did raman..... Ab vo shani sara din uske sath rhega... Koi aur bhana nhi bna sakta tha.... Bewkoof....
As soon as mani went ishita asked raman what he wanna discuss
Raman: haan btata hu betho toh sahi....
He made her sit on chair. And spoke with fumbling with words
Raman: ishita.... Vo.... Actually... Mujhe tumse kal jo hua uske bare mein baat krni thi...
That was than when ishita realise what he wanna discuss she looked away while raman continue
Raman: ishita mujhe pta hai mujhe tumhe kiss nhi krna chahiye tha.... Uske liye mai mafi mangna chahta hu.....
Ishita was taken aback by his behaviour she looked at him with suspiciously
Ishita: apko yeh jaruri baat krni thi?....
Raman: haan.... Toh ab yeh baat mai kisi third person ke samne thodi na bol sakta hun...
Ishita got up from her seat to go but raman hold her hand and came in front of her and spoke
Raman: ishita.... Please mai vesa nhi krna chahta tha... Pta nhi kese ho gya.... I know tum soch rhi hogi ki mai kal ke liye kyu apologise kr rha hu jbki mene yeh harkat pehle bhi kiya hai but let me clear one thing, when i kissed you earlier was intentional but yesterday was not the intentional.....tum samjh rhi ho na mai kya keh rha hu.....
Ishita was just bewildered by his behaviour she asked in disbelief: what is this.... intentional not intentional....raman see.... I don't want to come in between u two.... So i think we should maintain safe distance.....now raman
She was saying when raman asked her with Stern look
Raman: safe distance means..... Am i looking rapist or what that you have to maintain safe distance from me....
Ishita sarcastically: i didn't mean that ok..... So let me go i.... I don't want to talk on this matter and please don't mind it... But it will be better if we stay away from each other....see raman i don't want any hurdle in this project and let's keep it only for business.....
She went saying that while raman was looking at her retreating figure. He spoke to himself
Raman: what the hell..... I had asked her for an apology and she went saying lets keep it for business...He said mimicking her.
Why can't she understands that i can't see her with other man. Kahin yeh usse pyaar toh nhi krti......oh god so many complications. Aur ab kya krega beta tu.... Ab vo mani shani kal teri madrassan ke sath sara din chipka rahega... One minute eh kya bola abhi teri madrassan.....kahin mihir sach toh nhi keh rha......kahin mujhe madrassan se pyaar toh nhi hogya...pr mujhe kese pyar ho sakta hai mai toh usse badla lena hai na.... Then i can't love her but kyu kyu.... Why can't I love her....kya pta tera badla pyaar mein badal gya ho.....vese madarassan hai toh beautiful koi kese na usko pyaar kre aur mai usko kisi aur ke sath nhi de sakta... But ab vo kal uss mani ke sath jaa rhi hai tujhe kese bhi krke use rokna hoga vo ese hi kisi ke sath nahi jaa sakti mere sivaye.
He said leaning on his seat when he saw his reflection standing beside him
Ref: why can't you accept it that u love her...
Raman: tum kon ho.... (who are you)
Ref: mai tum hi hu..... (i m your inner voice)
Raman: what are you doing here
Ref: i m here to give you some peace of mind
Raman: i don't want anything.....u go back
Ref: ishita ko bhi nhi.... (don't you want ishita)
Raman remain silent he again spoke: you know what raman....that is your problem.... U keep your ego above than your feelings and emotions.... If keep doing this you will surely lose her one day and then she will be someone's else....u are saying that you don't love her pr Jisse tum kisi aur ke sath dekh nhi sakte toh kya tum usse pyaar nhi krte.... Tumhe yaad hai tumne uska kitna dhyaan rakha tha gurugram mein jb usse allergy ho gyi thi....accept it raman.... that you love her don't waste time just express your feelings for her i m sure she will reciprocate your love...
Raman: if she doesn't then...
Ref: then make her believe in you and your love....
Saying so his reflection disappear raman ruffled his hair and spoke smiling
Raman: yes i love her..... i will tell her that i love her.... I will make her mine....but how....if she denied me then....she is already upset with me because of yesterday and top of it she said now we should maintain safe distance between us..... And if that shani proposed her tomorrow morning.....no no... I will not let this happen.. I will make her believe in me yes yes..... You are great raman....now wait and watch my madrassan how will i going to make you mine......
He said smilingly ruffling his hair.
