Raman leaves the room and goes into the living room ..
Mihir has come over. He was out on a meeting with someone and couldn't attend the function so had come over to discuss some work related stuff with Raman.
Mihir: Bhai ..Yeh..kya hua aapko ...Why are your lips and around so red ...Kuch allergy hai?...There must have been a lot of smoke at the function na? ..
Raman: Kya bol rahe ho Mihir ...(Raman walks to the mirror and notices that indeed his lips and skin around are red ...Ishita's lipstick he knows!) ..Mihir...who maine strawberry ice cream khaya tha ..
Mihir: (chuckling ...) No need to hide Bhai ...I understand ..
Raman: Shut up Mihir ...What did you come here for?
Mihir: It's OK Bhai ..we'll discuss that at work tomorrow ..waise bhi it's very late and I had told Mihika that I will meet her too ..
Raman: Tell Mihika I will deal with her later..
Mihir: Deal with her? ..
Raman: Just convey what I've said Mihir.
Mihir knocks on the Iyers door..Mihika who is expecting him opens the door..
Mihir: Sorry ..Mihika I couldn't come today ...Hope you had a good time ...And Raman was acting strange ..He told me to tell you that he'll deal with you later...any problem?
Mihika unable to control her laughter tells Mihir what she had done...She had also spoken with Ishita a while ago and Ishita had told her that Raman had demanded a kiss for all he had done ..Mihika had teased her but not given her a clue that it was all her doing! ...Mihir joined in the laughter ...No wonder Raman's lips were so red ...Bhabhi's lipstick was all over him...
Mihir: Mihika...it's so nice we're together again ..and now again we can work on getting Bhaiya and Bhabhi closer like old times!..We should really work hard at bring them closer ..It's so clear they love each other but just don't express it like the way we do! ..Comon let's make another plan ..
Mihika: Sure ..why not ..Actually Akka doesn't know it's a plan ..She thinks Raman asked her on his own will ..so let's make use of the fact that akka doesn't know ..
Mihir: Sure, how ..what can we do?
Mihika: I have an idea..
Mihir: Waiting to hear
Mihika: Let's buy a gift for Akka and put it in her room ..We'll make it appear like the gift came from Raman ..How bout we buy some sexy nightwear for Akka? ..We'll wrap it up nicely and put in a note...The note will read. "Ishita, Thank You for being OK with Bala tutoring Adi...I still can't believe you encouraged Bala to do so even after the way Shagun has treated you, it's really nice of you to do what's best for Adi ...You are truly very selfless...I can't be as selfless as you are but I sure can get you a gift..Please accept my gift and wear it tonight for me ..If you wear it, I'll know that you are really not unhappy with Bala teaching Adi...If you don't wear it I'll take it you are not 100% happy and I will find another tutor for Adi...Ruhi is at camp so no worries in wearing your gift.. ...Can't wait to see you tonight! ..Yours, Raman"
Mihir: Whoa!! That is outstanding Mihika ...I will remember to buy you the very same gift after our marriage :-)
Mihir: Also Mihika, just to make sure Bhai doesn't sniff out the fact that it is our plan and spoil all the fun they will have in the night, I will also send him a note at work...I'll send it on behalf of bhabhi and it will read "Raman, you said you liked my kiss yesterday so tonight I'll give you a bit more Raman ...Don't worry it won't be anything near a lecture ...Hope you won't be disappointed because if you are I'll feel very sad ..Yours, Jhansi Ki Rani"
