Episode 53: Late Night Studies
It had become a routine for Ishaan and Savi to meet every morning before heading to college and in the evening after completing wok hours and then spend night respectively at BM and ISHANU home.
THREE DAYS LATER - late night study
Savi sits at her study desk, surrounded by stacks of textbooks and notes, her brow furrowed in concentration as she prepares for her next day exams. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, but Savi shows no signs of slowing down.
Suddenly, her stomach growls loudly, reminding her that she hasn't eaten since dinner.
SAVI (rubbing her stomach): Looks like it's time for a study break.
With a determined smile, Savi closes her books and heads to the kitchen. As she rummages through the fridge and pantry, searching for a late-night snack, she takes out some fryums and comes back to her room.
She heard footsteps outside her window. She was startled for a moment, but she reassured herself, 'No, I'm not afraid. Let me open the window.
But she gathered her courage and went to see who it was.
Pulling back the curtain, she saw Ishaan standing there, holding a rose with a playful look in his eyes. Despite the surprise, she smiled at him.
SAVI: Ishaan Sir? Youuuuu?, what brings you here?” And turns back with an angry catwalk.
Ishaan shrugs nonchalantly and saunters over to Savi, jumping inside the room and wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
ISHAAN: I couldn't resist the smell of fryums, or should I say precisely i couldnt resist the girl eating fryums.
Savi leans back into Ishaan's embrace, enjoying the warmth of his body against hers.
SAVI teases him about coming secretly to meet her: Well, since you're here, how about you meeting Aai Baba?
Ishaan grins and nods enthusiastically, eager to tease her further. “Yes, lets go and say that instead of paying attention to your studies, you called me here and invited me from the window.”
Savi makes a face of stating you are impossible.
After a brief moment of seeing each other without a blink, Ishaan leans to Savi with a determined expression.
ISHAAN: Savi, if you have any last-minute doubts or questions about your exams, don't hesitate to ask. Your personal professor is at your service.
Savi chuckled, rolling her eyes playfully at his theatrics.
SAVI: Oh, lucky me! I have a personal professor at my beck and call.
Ishaan grinned, enjoying the banter.
ISHAAN: That's right, Mrs. Ishaan Bhosle. You're getting the VIP treatment.
Savi shook her head, but there was affection in her eyes as she looked at him.
SAVI: Well, Professor, I'll be sure to take advantage of your expertise.
Before they continued to her study desk, Ishaan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gift wrapped in colorful paper.
ISHAAN: And I have something for you. Consider it a token of good luck for your exams tomorrow.
Curious, Savi's eyes widened with anticipation as she reached out to take the gift. Her fingers traced the edges of the wrapping paper, her movements careful yet eager.
It was a diamond studded pen!
SAVI: Wow, it's beautiful! But how will this help me write my exams confidently?
Ishaan's grin widened, his body language exuding playful confidence as he leaned in closer to Savi, his eyes dancing with mischief, “It's not just any pen, Savi. It's a magic pen. Whenever you use it, it'll fill your paper with nothing but brilliance and confidence.”
SAVI: But it looks really costly, there wasn't any need to spend so much on a pen.
Ishaan's expression softened, a warm smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he reached out to gently brush a stray lock of hair from Savi's face.
ISHAAN: Okay, you have that diary right? Add one more line item and pay me back when ________
Savi's eyes sparkled with curiosity, her body leaning in closer to Ishaan's as she eagerly awaited his response. Her fingers absentmindedly played with the wrapping paper of the gift in her hands, a small smile playing on her lips.
SAVI, with excitement: “When? (She was eager to hear When you become an IAS from her husband)
Ishaan's cheerful laughter filled the room, his body language relaxed and open as he leaned back in his chair, his eyes meeting Savi's with affectionate warmth.
ISHAAN, in a cheerful mood: “When you become Mrs. Bhosle in ALL senses, I will take the debt back in my own way.” And scans her from top to bottom.
Savi couldn't help but playfully roll her eyes at Ishaan's mischief and double meaning joke, her hand swatting at his arm in a gesture of mock annoyance. But beneath the playful punch, her eyes shone with love and adoration for her husband.
Then they sat on the bed, side by side, and discussed the exams earnestly, their body language mirroring their deep concentration as they leaned in closer to each other, their gestures animated and expressive. He gives her lots of tips and tricks to handle the pressure and shine brighter!
And after a while, as Ishaan prepared to leave, he leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on Savi's palms, her forehead, and finally her eyes, his body language conveying his earnest wishes for her success.
"May these fingers write the best answers," he whispered against her skin of palms, his touch gentle yet reassuring.
"May this brain work at its best," he continued, his lips pressing against her forehead in a tender caress.
"And may these eyes get to see the questions you are confident about," he finished, his gaze meeting Savi's with unwavering love and support with a forehead kiss.
And he jumps out of the window, waving goodbye.
Savi stands there, watching him leave with a proud expression, and murmurs, “I will never disappoint you Ishaan Sir, will surely rock in my exams starting from tomorrow and at the day of my last paper, you will meet your wife, Savi Ishaan Bhosle, in all senses.”
To be Continued... (A week of examinations and post that IshVi plan to start living as husband & wife, will it happen?)
Episode 52: Ishaan's Homecoming & Savi's Pranks
Ishaan drops Savi off at ISHANU's home. While Savi carries her bag, Ishaan handles the suitcase. As they enter the house, Savi glances at Ishaan, who gives her a reassuring smile before they both receive blessings from Aai and Baba.
Ishaan carefully places Savi's bags in their designated cupboard in the room, making sure everything is settled for her.
Later, as they all gather in the hall, Savi notices Aai and Baba sitting comfortably, and she instinctively brings water for everyone, a gesture of respect and care.
She puts the tray on the tea-poy and sits close to Ishaan, leaning slightly against him, feeling his comforting presence beside her.
Isha Mam observes their (ISHVI) body language and feels satisfied with how they are behaving with each other, displaying their affection and connection.
Ishaan, glancing at his wristwatch, announces, 'It's time for me to head to college. See you all later,' before turning to his Baba and adding, “Please come with me. We can go together, and I'll drop you back afterward.”
His words carry a hint of warmth and consideration, showing his affection for his father.
Isha Mam, observing the interaction, catches the subtle exchange between Ishaan and Savi and his mild wink at her.
She looks at Savi and smiles knowingly, recognizing the unspoken bond between them because it is evident that dropping Baba home is an excuse for him to see his wife.
Savi, feeling a mix of shyness and happiness, blushes and lowers her gaze, but not before exchanging a fleeting glance with Ishaan, silently conveying her gratitude and love.
_____________________
Throughout the day, Savi immerses herself in studying and engages in light conversation with her mother-in-law.
In the evening, Ishaan arrives to drop off his Baba and enters the hall, his eyes searching the surroundings.
Sensing his restlessness, Shantanu encourages him to go inside ‘their’ room, freshen up, and enjoy a cup of coffee before he departs.
Seizing the opportunity, Ishaan eagerly hurries into the room where Savi is staying.
He opens the door and finds the bed and chair empty. To check where she is, he takes one step further inside. Suddenly he is startled by a loud "Booo" from behind.
Startled, Ishaan jumps in surprise, exclaiming, “Who's there? Ouch!”
After recovering from the initial shock, Ishaan turns around to see Savi standing behind him, a mischievous grin on her face.
She holds her hands up in mock surrender, chuckling at his startled reaction.
Savi: "Gotcha! Sorry, I couldn't resist."
Ishaan lets out a nervous laugh, relieved that it's only Savi playing a prank. He playfully shakes his head at her antics, his heart still racing from the sudden scare.
Ishaan: "You nearly gave me a heart attack, Savi! I should have known it was you."
Savi beams at him, pleased with her successful prank, and offers a sheepish apology.
Savi: "I couldn't help myself. You looked so serious when you came in."
In their bedroom, Ishaan's heart was still racing fast from Savi's playful scare, sparking a mischievous desire for revenge.
With a smirk, he declared, “Wait, I’ll show you, it's now my time to take revenge” and darted after her.
Savi, her laughter filling the room, teasingly taunted, “Catch me if you can, Ishaan Sir!”
Ishaan, his laughter blending with hers, playfully retorted, “Oh, I'll catch you, just you wait!”
They circled around the bed and playfully dodged furniture, their joyous laughter echoing off the walls.
Savi, ducking behind a chair, called out, “You'll never catch me, Ishaan Sir!”
Ishaan, hot on her heels, teased back, “Oh, I think I will! You can't escape me!”
Their playful banter fueled their chase, bringing smiles to their faces and warmth to their hearts.
Finally, with a triumphant shout, Ishaan caught her, pulling her into a tight embrace. But his legs slipped on the carpet and they collapsed onto the bed, breathless and happy, enjoying the simple joy of being together in their cozy bedroom. The moment they fall on the bed becomes special for them, he rolls over on her and makes her comfortable to get up.
Ishaan: "Well, you definitely succeeded in surprising me. But now that you're here, how about one cup of coffee?"
Savi nods eagerly, and together they head to the kitchen, laughter filling the air as they share a light-hearted moment together.
ISHANU seeing them heading to the kitchen felt they were the most luckiest and happiest parents on the earth.
To be continued… (The IAS journey begins, with nervousness on the night before the first day of the exam)
