I once thought that one of the great things about being a woman was that seduction was simply a case of whipping on a mini skirt, some killer heels, swabbing on a pouty gloss, wearing a push-up bra and voila! - the blokes will fall head over heels. Not so much. These days men have caught onto our little act and have become a tad more discerning with what they find attractive, and what they don't.

Ishita promised Mihika that she would play a game to resolve the mammoth of an issue stood in front of them. It isn't an easy job - of course - when the mammoth is RKB. But, as a Doctor who can understand people's pain and comfort, she very well knew how to get this done. She understands that he is like a Jack fruit - Hard he may seem but sweet as honey inside!
Mihika asked, "Akka, Ab kya karne waale ho? What game? I don't get it!". Ishita just said, "Wait and watch!". She wasn't thinking about getting a new person into this debacle to solve this problem. She wanted to be the lone David against the Goliath. Rather, the beautiful Menaka against the Rishi Vishwamitra.
While showering she thought, "Raman ke nazar aaj kal kuch theek nahi hai...Kaise ghoor raha tha mujhe kal, ointment lagate hue? Aur curtain se nikalna hi nahi chahta tha...faltoo bahana bana raha tha...paithyam! Kuch to gadbad hai! I will capitalize on this!". She dusted her hands and set herself on the Mission Seduction!
RKB knocked her bathroom door and yelled as usual, "Arey bahar aajao...der ho rahi hai". She yelled from inside, "Aapko dikhayi nahi de raha hai? Main naha rahi hoon!". He muttered, "Thank god, dikha hi nahi diya...Oh hello, main dekhna bhi nahi chahta, bahar aao jhat se...Venue dekhne jaana hai!". She did a facepalm with a tint of blush and said, "Aise hi bahar aajaon..?". He said in a soft voice, "Bahar bahut log baite hue hai...samjhi?". She chuckled, "Accha woh problem hai...toh aapko problem nahi hai?". Raman smirked at her retort. She added, "10 min aur lagega mujhe...hair wash kar rahi hoon!". He pulled himself back to RKB mode and yelled, "Mahine mein ek baar nahaogi toh aise hi hoga...! Jaldi aao.."
He went inside his room, lied flat on his bed and closed his eyes. Though he closed his eyes, rest of his senses were working. Minutes later, he could feel a fragrance filling the room. While he was figuring out that it was her shampoo, a drop of water fell on his forehead. He opened his eyes instantly only to find his lady standing right next to him, facing the mirror, clad in her white bathrobe. He rolled over on his stomach impulsively. She stood in front of the mirror, ruffling her hair separating the strands. While still lying down, casted his eye over her body in every promising angle. He wondered how sexy were her legs as he rarely gets to see them. He moved his scanner up and looked at the hips that he once pulled very close to him during the dance, "Fit toh hogayi thi yeh madrasan, mera ek haat ke andar...phir moti kaisi dikhti hai!". He sharpened his focus. She had tied around the hip that gave him a clear inkling as to where she was plump precisely. He thought that she should reduce around the "back side" but then he knocked that out in a jiffy. "Nah! Wahi toh iski speciality hai! Size zero mein kya mazaa aata hai!". He folded his lower lip under his teeth and continued to picture her external anatomy! "Baal kitni lambi hai...alag se khana khati hogi sirf baal ko lambi karne keliye! Asar body mein...pagal". He smiled at that instant over his thought. He thought she had no idea about the damage that a single drop of water flowing down her hair, had created.
Ishita wasn't a doctor for no reason. She was always a sharp child, kid and adult. She could clearly notice all of Raman's expressions on the mirror. He did not know he was being reflected. Knowing Raman so well, she could guess what he would have thought, just when he did a lip bite. "Yeh bhi kuch kam nahi hai! Iska dimaag mein kya chal raha hai, woh sirf main jaanti hoon! Poori desh, poori duniya nahi jaanti Raman ko...par main jaanti hoon!", she did a virtual pat on her shoulders and continued to look at his expressions.
She had her motive unblemished for the evening. What arguments cannot achieve, fights cannot finalize and silence cannot solve - a simple kiss can. The magic that measly words can create when told over the pillow. She did not have an experience in this field before, but she has read her fair share of novels by provocative writers in her school days. She exactly knew how to melt the stone.
He had reached her shoulders by then. She grasped where he was looking at. She leisurely loosened her bathrobe from the shoulders. Raman could see her bare neck and shoulders partially covered with her hair and at that instance he stroked his eye lids longer than the usual. She circled her hair from the front side to the back. A spray of water fell again on Raman, on his eyes and forehead. The human reflex would have made him flinch, but he was unaffected. He still had his eyes open as if they were pulled to open using forceps. She lowered her bathrobe even more to let more skin show. He froze like Saber in the Ice age!
