********************************
Ishita packed the birthday cake and said giving it to the man-its for one thousand.
The man took the parcel and give her the money .
Ishita-thank u sir,wish ur daughter a very happy birthday from my side too .she said smiling and the man went.
Ishita look at her watch and said-its over nine,I should close the bakery now .she said and start winding her bakery shop.
After fifteen minutes,she was about to lock the main door when someone said,excuse me.
Ishita turned and saw a man in his mid thirties,a little fat one.
Ishita-ji.
Man-can I get a cake??
Ishita-sorry sir,but the bakery is closed.aap kal aa kar le lijiyega.
He came a little closer and said-its a bit urgent,if u can give me .it will hardly take few minutes .
Ishita-cake mein kaisi urgency,kisi bahut special ka birthday hai kya??
He made a sad face and said-nahi,I just went through a heartbreak.
Ishita-kya?she asked little amused.
Man-yes,the girl I was with,she left me breaking my heart and I am very sad.
Ishita-toh apni sadness celebrate karne ke liye,u want a cake.generally log wine shop mein jaate hai.
Raman-no ,I can't have wine.i am diebetic,mujhe alcohol allow nahi hai .
Ishita-aur cake allow hai.
Man-offo ,kitne sawaal puchti ho,mujhe ek cake de do please,sirf cake hi mere dukh ko kam sakta hai.
Ishita-aur sugar level ko badha sakta hai??
He glared her and said-stop being my doctor,and just give me a cake.i am ready to pay twice the amount .
Ishita-ok which flavour??
Man-chocolate,sabse tasty wala ,with lots of chocolate.he said making a face like he is relishing the cake already .
She smiled and said-wait for a minute,she said and went inside opening the shop glass door .
After a while,she came with a cake and said-six hundred.
He took the cake and went paying her ,thanking her while she smiled at her unique customer.
Ishita-break up ke liye cake,sounds funny .she said and went to her home after closing her bakery shop .
Ishita iyer,a thirty years old lady ,divorcee lives in a small rented house in Delhi all alone as her family left her after her divorce with her abusive husband ,subbu.
At first she was really sad but slowly she gathered herself and start working in a bakery as she loves making cakes and has an expertise in it.
After three years,she could finally open her shop ,where she work hard from dawn to dusk and could easily earn a handsome income to sustain in this world ,though her life is well settled but her love life is nil after her divorce,neither she had anyone special nor she wanted anyone .
Next morning was a usual one for ishita.she woke up at her regular time and then went to her bakery after an hour.
She was opening her bakery when she heard again -excuse me.
She turned only to see him again standing there.today she saw him fully top to bottom.he was wearing a blue shirt with matching formals.he was a good looking man just a bit overweight,may be due to his love for cakes.
She was looking at him when he said again-can I get that cake again.
Ishita-phir breakup ho gaya kya??
Raman-nahi,actually it was delicious.
Ishita-itna ki aap subah -subah aa gaye .
Raman-nahi ,actually I was leaving for office,toh dhyaan aaya ki Maine sadness mein kuch bhi cook nahi kiya,toh socha aapki bakery se pick kar loon.u make awesome cakes .
Ishita-cake,for breakfast.dont u think it's too much for a day.i mean u just have a fully chocolate cake yesterday and now u r here for another one.
Raman-please naa,why u r bothered.i am paying u.
Ishita-ok,get in.she said and both entered her bakery.
Ishita-get down,it will take a while .tell me if u want something in the meantime.
Raman-anything is welcomed,as I am really hungry.
Ishita-coffee with sandwiches.
Raman-it will do,do u make anything else also.
Ishita-like??
Raman-pancakes or pastries.
She look at him and said-dont u think u should eat all these stuff less.
Raman-i know,I am fat.but what to do,I just love them.and remember I recently had a break up.so I am allowed to get sick a little.u know Kabir Singh kind off.
Ishita smiled making coffee for him and said-he use to drink alcohol.
Raman-i told u naa,I can't have it.i have my reasons.
Ishita-yes,I heard them.can I ask what happened that led u to broke up .
Raman-cant u guess seeing my weight .
Ishita-then I think I should ask,what led to that relationship.
Raman-my heavy bank balance.
Ishita-ok ,that's bad.sorry.
Raman-dont be ,actually it was my fault only.she tried to change me,keep on telling,patle ho jao Raman,kam khao Raman.as if it's too easy to quit eating.maine uski nahi sunni and she can't afford a heavy fiance like me ,so she dumped me after i gifted her the heavy neckpiece with diamond ring.
Ishita placed his order infront of him and said-thats really sad ,Mr Raman,
Raman smiled and said-raman bhalla.and u??
Ishita-ishita iyer .she said smiling while he start eating .
Raman-umm,it's really delicious.thank u for such nice breakfast,I think u have earned a customer,a huge one.he said smiling making her smile too.
Ishita-can I ask u something,if u don't mind.
Raman-ask,I will think if I mind to answer it or not .
Ishita-if u really loved her,u could have took some effort to change urself for her,I mean it's for ur betterment only.
Raman smiled hearing her and said -koi pyaar kare toh tumse kare,tum jaise ho waise kare,tumhe badal kar kare,toh pyaar nahi sauda kare,aur sahiba,pyaar mein saude nahi hote .he said and she said smiling-mohabbatein.
Raman-tumne dekhi hai??
Ishita-my favourite,the love in that movie is just so divine.
Raman-and so true for life,pyaar woh nahi hota joh kisi ki appearance par depend karta ho,but woh hota jiske hone se hi ek sukoon hota hai.right??
Ishita smiled and said-very right,aapka cake ready ho gaya hai.but try not to eat it alone,bahut calories hai aur usse bhi jyada processed cheezein hai,which may harm u.she said and he smiled.
Raman-thank u for this wonderful breakfast,I will get going.tell me how much for all this.
Ishita-eight hundred ,two hundred discount kaat kar,six hundred.
Raman-discount??
Ishita-haan for liking my stuff and for being my first customer for the day and also for such long lovely talk.i talk to someone like this after very long.
Raman-thank u,but I don't any discount.i like to respect everyone's hardwork.he said giving her a two thousand ruppe note.
Ishita-just give a second,I arrange for the change.
Raman-keep it,I will be visiting u again very soon.he said and went taking his parcel while she was just looking at him .she was feeling very good meeting him and talking to him.
Ishita-kuch log hote hai,itne positive ki unse mil kar positive vibes milti hai.he was good,really good .she said and got busy in her work.
The day was really busy for ishita as she got many customers that day,making her believe that Raman was indeed a lucky charm for her.
Next few days were same for them.they use to meet everyday.they use to talk for sometime while she serve him breakfast .she told him about her abusive husband and divorce .he praised her for her bravery and soon they have developed a nice relationship.she use to cheer him up when he was down while he too do same for her
It was a month since they meet,one evening ,she was sitting and could not stop herself thinking about him.
Ishita-he is pretty fat and diebetic also,still he was eating so much sugary.those cakes will harm him really bad,I think I should think of making something,which he may like but will not harm him.she was thinking but then realised what she is thinking.
Ishita-why I am thinking so much about him,she thought and then answered ,just because he was a good man who talk nicely to her.she thought and start searching for recipes which she can make for him.
She look for some cakes made of oats and jaggery along with honey.
She thought to try to for him.she made a list of the things and ordered same along with few others things which she may need.
At nine,she was closing her bakery while her eyes were looking for him,but he didn't showed up.so she went back to her house.
Next day,she reached her bakery a bit early then usual expecting him to be there,but he was nowhere.she went inside and start waiting for him but he didn't came.
Half heartedly she start her work and soon her bakery was filled with customers.she was doing her work efficiently but her mind was still on him.
The day passed in a jiffy ,she waited for him all day and now she start getting worried for him.
Ishita-kya hua hoga,woh aaye kyun nahi .he will be fine naa.he is diabetic still he eats so much,kahin iski wajah se toh nahi,no no .he must be busy somewhere.yaa phir nahi mann hoga kuch khaane ka issliye nahi aaye honge.jaruri hai ki kuch bura hi hua ho.she said trying to console herself but her heart was nowhere in peace,like she knew something is wrong with him.
Ishita-shit ishita,u don't even had his number.i can't even care him.kam se kam yeh toh pata chal jaata ki woh safe hai.she said and then realised what she is saying .
Ishita-no ,I am not worried about him ,it's just it's just,she said with pauses and then said again-its just,mujhe fikar hai unki.where u r Raman,ek baar aa jaiye,just tell me u r fine ,she was talking to herself when she heard him saying,I am fine ,ishita.
Ishita turned and saw him standing on the door smiling looking at her.
Ishita smiled fully seeing him and went to him.
Raman-main thik hoon,but u r not looking fine.he was saying when she hugged him making him surprised.
Ishita-i was worried for u ,kahan the aap.i thought u landed into hospital eating so much sugar.she said in a go while he was surprised hearing her.
Raman was just looking at her while she was go on hiding into him.he finally wrapped his arms around her and said-i went for a meeting yesterday.sorry couldn't inform u but really don't know ,tum itni pareshan ho jaogi,warna tumhe bata kar jaata.he said making her realise their position.
She broke the hug and looked away embarrassed on her action.he was just looking at her trying to read her expression while she was looking away trying to compose herself .
After good five minutes,he said-if u r ok,can u give me a nice cup of coffee.my head will burst with stress.
Ishita just nodded and went inside while he took some cookies and start munching them.
Ishita came after five minutes and saw him almost emptied the cookie box .
Ishita-this fatty will never change.yahan main inke liye itni pareshan thi aur yeh khaaye chale jaa rahen hai .she said and went to him offering him coffee glaring him.
Raman-what,I was hungry.
Ishita-woh toh aap hamesha rehte hai.
Raman-thats rude.
Ishita-thats true .she said while he sipped the coffee and spilled it next moment .
Raman-what is this,I hate sugar free .why u put it in my coffee,I want my regular one .
Ishita-u r not getting it,yahin peejiye .
Raman-u can't force me,I am ur customer .u have to give whatever I ask for .
Ishita-no,u r not getting it here.
Raman-main chala jaaunga tab,he said getting off the chair.ishita made him sit and said-just sit down and have it.dont u feel any pity on urself.how can u be so careless about urself Raman,if u r not doing anything to cure ur disease ,atleast don't make it huge.dont do this to urself.she said in a disappointed voice making him look at her.
Ishita-please .
Raman-i tried,but nahi hota mujhse.moreover for whom I should try harder.i don't have anyone ,I am just so alone .koi pyaar nahi karta mujhse,am I don't deserve to be loved,just because I am fat.is this fair,he said looking at him.
Ishita-not for anyone else,do it for urself .u will feel good.
Raman-i don't wanna feel good.i want to feel bad,always feel this pathetic.i just don't wanna feel good,ishita.he said and hide his face in his palm.his chubby face in his chubby palm,making him look more cute then he can think,she smiled seeing him like this and wrapped her arms around him saying,u know raman.u r cute,cute like a chubby baby.
Raman smiled hearing her and said-indeed a very chubby baby.
Ishita pinched his nose and said-motu bachcha .
Raman smiled and rested his head on her shoulder feeling good while she was too lost in their moment .
After sometime,
Raman-i wanna have something,I am hungry .
Ishita-phir??
Raman-what do u mean,I didn't had anything from morning .
Ishita-u just had a box of cookies ,Raman.
Raman-but that's not food naa,kuch achcha,matlab bahut achcha.something indian.apart from these cookies and pastries,from ur kitchen.will u make something for me.
Ishita-ofcourse,tell me what u wanna eat??
Raman-anything ,just make it quick .I am famished .
Ishita-u can rest here,while I just make something nice for u.she said and went while Raman settled on the chair keeping his legs on another.
After sometime,ishita came and saw him sleeping keeping his head on the table .she smiled seeing him sleeping like a baby and said-my motu bachcha,cute wala.she said and then realised what she is saying.
Ishita-what u r saying,he is not urs.but kisi aur ke bhi toh nahi hai,aur kisi naa kisi ke kabhi naa kabhi toh honge hi,toh mere hi ho jaaye.but I am a divorcee and he is fresh ,but pyaar toh yeh sab nahi samjhta.but he is very rich also,atleast more then me.she was thinking while her hand was caressing his hair softly breaking his sleep.
He look around and said-sorry,I slept .
Ishita-main jagane wali thi,come let's have food.she said and he nodded.
They settled on a table and she start serving him.she made dal makhni with tandoori roti.
Ishita-sorry,yahan kuch khaas tha nahi .
Raman-its ok.he said smiling and start eating while she was just admiring him.
He look at her and lifted his eyebrows questioning her.
Ishita-i am just thinking why u came here leaving all restaurant and hotels .
Raman-coz I love spending time with u aur mujhe pata,u must be waiting for me.he said making her look at him.
Raman-pata nahi kyun mujhe lagta hai ,ki koi kare naa kare,tum meri fikar karti ho .he said and she look down.
Raman held her hand and said-i want a companion for life,who can love me beyond my physical appearance,who can make me complete and never let me feel alone.koi aisa joh mujhe mujhse jyada pyaar karta ho,do u know someone like that.he asked making her silent.
Raman feed her a morsel and said-tomorrow is my birthday ishita and I want u to gift me a person I want for life,itna kar dogi mere liye.kar paogi naa.he said and then left her hand.he continued eating while she was just looking at him trying to understand his words.he was also feeding her in between while ishita was lost in his words.
Ishita-kya Raman chahte hai ki main initiate karun,but woh bhi toh kar sakte hai.may be he is reluctant due to his appearance,but I do have a past.kya karun,she was thinking when he said-its really late,come let me drop u home.
Ishita just nodded lost in her thoughts and both came out closing her bakery.
He was going to his car when she said-its nearby only,let's walk .good for u.
He nodded and both start walking while he signalled his driver to drive the car to her place.
They were walking on the lone road side by side holding each other's hand.she was feeling good having him near her and wanted this feeling forever but really confused at his feelings for her.
He dropped her home and went sitting in his car while she sat there for long thinking about his words.
After thinking for long,she decided something and finally slept.
Next morning,she woke up bit early then usual and went to her bakery.she clean the place and start making cake for him using oat flour along with honey and jaggery making it less harmful for him.
Along with cake she baked many things for him and finally start decorating it for him.
At ten ,he entered her bakery and was looking for her when she came and said smiling-happy birthday,Raman.
He smiled and said-aaj bakery close hai kya,koi customer nahi .
Ishita-bakery is closed for everyone,bas aapke liye khuli hai . how can I sell cakes today when u love to eat them.see I made many things for u today,actually everything i could make,aapko joh khana hai khaiye.
Raman smiled seeing all the delicacies and said-and my gift.
Ishita-u will get that,first eat it.
Raman took a cookie and had it.
Raman-achcha hai,but not usual.sonething is different.
Ishita-u liked it .
Raman-kind off.
Ishita-its of semolina,not processed flour.
Raman-umm,bahut mehnat ki hai mere liye.sandwich mein bhi multigrain atta no maida.
Ishita-what to do,u like all this only.achcha come let's cut the cake.
Raman-i hope u hadn't ruined it,I hate it.
Ishita-just had a bite first ,she said and brought the big cake she made for him.
He cut it while she sing birthday song for him.she fed him a bite and he said-umm,it's also good.achcha swad hai,kya daala hai.
Ishita-u liked it??
Raman-thoda kam achcha hai,but if it's healthy I can compromise on taste a bit.
Ishita-glad u like it.
Raman-now my gift,I want it.
Ishita went inside and brought a box .she gave it to him and signalled him to open.
He opened it with confused eyes and his eyes sparkled in joy seeing it.
The box has many cup cakes and it read,
I love u ,be mine.
With two cup cakes,yes was written on one and no was written on another.
He took the cupcake on which no was written and ate it.
She look at him disappointed and was going when he held her and said-kahan jaa rahi ho ??
Ishita-kahin nahi,sorry I shouldn't have said that,glad aapne mana kar diya .
Raman-buddhu mana nahi kiya,that cake was tempting me aur woh answer mujhe nahi dena tha ,so I just ate it.
Ishita-matlab??
Raman-matlab I love u too , wanna be urs,marry me please.he said hugging her from back .
Ishita smiled hearing him and said-motu,u r always behind cakes.i proposed u and u start eating cake.
Raman-i want to eat u too but u were taking long in confessing ur love ,so I was eating cakes only.
Ishita-aap bhi toh bol sakte the.
Raman-i was scared,scared to be dumped again.to be left alone again.
Ishita-but now u can confess ur love to me,I wanna hear it from u.
Raman-i will surely propose u ,but not on my knees.main gir jaaunga,mota hoon naa.
Ishita-mote nahi hai mere cutie hai and I love u alot.
Raman -i love u too ishita,he said cupping her face and she closed her eyes feeling his touch.he pressed his lips on her temple and she was all lost in his gentle touch.
He went down and caressed her lips while she bite her lips making it difficult for him to stop .
Raman-i want these cherries as my birthday gift.he said to which she said -i am all urs.
He smiled and took her lips in a soul searing kiss,while their journey of love has just started.
