Okk...this time update is a late one. I know. Actually I wrote a complete new one on ruhi's current situation. Was to update it by yesterday but then some vivas and projects kept me busy. I missed it by few minutes as episode got on air. And what we got was a perfect Ishra ruhi talk. Just loved it. And i didn't have the heart to post my own version on it. Cvs gave such a wonderful scene. I just enjoyed it. And hence deleted everything which I wrote.
Then decided to update this one. Its long update as I know I will not be able to come back to this one soon. So have tried my level best to give you a basic view of everything. Hope you like it. Do let me know what you felt about it. Encouragement really means a lot.
Raman stood at the door of his classroom. Lecture had started 5 minutes back. The first lecture of his college life and he was still in dillema to enter or not. Finally, after thinking a lot, he decided to step in, but his feet didn't follow his mind or perhaps his heart didn't. The next moment, his eyes were back to corridor and his head tilting sideways searching for a trace. Trace of what? Well that was a million dollar question whose reply was unknown to him also. What and Why?
After wait of another four minutes, he found his lips curving into a smile. Yess...she was there. Running to him. She wore tights with a tank top. A sling bag hung from her shoulder to waist crossing her body. He couldn't help but drool at the beauty he was seeing. In his job of staring her, it didnt occur to him that she had come closer. Due to constant running, she couldn't balance herself and slipped at the door of classroom into his arms.
Raman heard the words "Ayio Murugan" as he holded her in his arms preventing her from falling. She was lying with her bent body. His left hand went across her waist holding it while the right one holded her right hand. She encircled her other arm around his body trying to get support. Her eyes shut with fear and horror of landing to floor. Raman looked at her...her face inches apart from his. For the first time, he was looking at her this closely. He wanted to keep her like this, forever with himself. As he kept staring at her, innocence visible on her face, he felt an urge to kiss her. Her luscious lips were inviting. He wanted to have the taste of them on his lips. Her cheeks seemed so soft to him that he felt like pulling and kissing them. But he did neither. Because by the time he thought what he had to do, she opened her eyes.
As she found herself safe in some secure arms, she shifted her gaze to the person responsible for her safety. As he saw her and she looked at him, their eyes met. They had an eyelock...their eyes speaking volumes to each other. They remained in the same position untill the hard laughing sounds came from classroom. They realized that they had been made fun topic of their classmates, the very first day itself. They got off from each other's hold at once while the professor looked at them with killing look in his eyes. "Are you from this class?" Asked Mr. Shukla in a full angry tone. "Yes..yess sir." They spoke together and then looked at each other. Raman gave her a smile.
"Its been 15 minutes already. How much more time will you take to enter? Or should I keep a welcome event in your honour?" He said with a sarcastic tone. Ishita at once ran inside voicing a "Sorry Sir" while Raman just stared at her. The killer expression he got this time was solely for him. He helped himself inside. "No attiquetes at all. Uncultured boy." He said out. Raman wondered if a sorry could have made him enter 15 min earlier. He pushed everything aside and tried to search for a place to sit.
She had just come and taken an empty bench. Without thinking twice, he went and joined her. She, along with everyone else stared at him while he just smiled. It was much of a disturbance, the professer decided to resume with his lecture.
It was a silent affair except for the horny voice of Mr. Shuka. Raman glanced here and there. Everyone was busy. Some on facebook, some whats app and some texting. Few found candy crush as their favourite pass time while some opted for temple run. Raman found that some who couldn't gather courage - neither to take out cell phone nor to listen to the lecture were sitting with their hands on their cheeks, elbows resting on the table and eyes widened deliberately lest they went into a slumber. He could even hear small snoring sounds from bench behind her. He smiled thinking what an interesting class it is. Then he looked at her. With her pen in his mouth and her eyes on the board, she was busy making notes. Raman wanted to replace that pen with his lips. That was the only thought running in his mind when she found him staring her. "What?" She asked more with her expressions than her words. He just shook his head and started looking towards the board.
As the lectures got over, Raman decided to have a talk with her. He couldn't just stare at her all the time. He remembered his life since 20 days back. After that trial match, they had asked him to leave saying selections will be done in 15 days. In Those days he prayed to all Gods of Universe that he, along with that beautiful Girl get their admissions right away without any problem. He remembered himself moving dreamily in the fields imagining her here and there. He found her sitting with him on tractor, playing with water on the motor (pump from where water reaches whole field), bringimg food for him, both of them sitting and chewing sugar cane and many more...the list was on. Then he used to smack himself. Hell...how will she be there. He smiled remembering the teasing of his friends when he got the call of admission confirmation. They will surely call today and ask about her. He mentally told himself.
It occured to him that he didn't even knew her name. So he decided to move towards her. She was standing with some girls of their class. He went to the group of girls. He always had a charm to attract girls. Thats why only, they used to fight for him in neighbourhood as well as school. And how could he leave the chance in college? He wanted to see if his effect was same on Delhi girls. And it was. He could feel drooling eyes on him as his steps approached them. Their way of looking at him and then whispering to each other told him that he had become topic of their conversation by now. He gave a knowing smile at it. He wanted to see her expressions. She just looked at him approaching them and then nowhere. Infact no particular place. He wanted her to notice him. A girl spoke something in her ear and from her gaze at him, he could bet that it was about him. But then her eyes found yet another spot on the floor. "Heyy!!" One of the girls said chirpily when he positioned himself into gang of girls.
"Hi beauties..M Raman Kumar Bhalla. New admission...I guess like you all." He said with a smile adorning his face which added to his charm. He extended his hand to one of the girls standing at the corner. This was the only way to get his hands entwined with HER afterall. By now, he knew SHE is not the type of girl who will fall for looks. Let alone falling, she is not the one to notice also. "Hello Lady. Your Introduction please." He said to the girl closest to him. She shook her hand with him in a dreamy world. "Anju...I am Anju." She said and started shaking her hand vigorously with him. "Nice to meet you anju." He said smiling and took his hand back to himself safely. Similar happened with Tania, Neha and Avni. Raman was waiting for HER turn to come. "Hii...M Mihika." Raman saw that girl was more of friendly than drooling nature. She had approached like a true classmate on first intro. The first time he genuinely smiled. "Nice meeting you." He said with a smile. Next was HER. Finally, he heaved a sigh.
This time, his flirty nature gave up. He tried his level best to behave like he did with others. But his hii to her sounded as genuine as flirty he wanted to make it. "M Ishita. Ishita Iyyer." She said with a smile. No flirt..no drool. Ofcourse, he was impressed. With her physique, with her body language, with her eyes, with her voice, with her lips or with her - he didnt Know. But one thing was for sure. He wanted this girl. "Ishita...nice name." He said with the widest ever smile. "Thanks..." she said. "I hope you are ok?" He asked her. She looked at him confused. What was wrong with her. Other girls looked at her with full jealousy. "Huh?" She asked.
"I mean your foot. I hope there is no sprain." She realized that he was talking about the morning incident. "Yeah..its alright. Thanks for asking." She replied back feeling uneasy at the way he was talking to her, more precisely at the way how others were looking at their conversation.
"Mention not sweety. By the way am sorry. I didn't realize you were coming." He said. Though he was thanking God constantly for that one moment, but he had to behave like a gentleman in front of her. "No..no problem. Even I didn't notice. I was rushing to class." She knew she tripped as her balance lost and wondered why he was apologising when he actually saved her. "Infact..thnkss." she said after a pause. "You saved me." Raman looked at her. She was smiling. Hassi to Phassi...he remembered his friend's words. Without a thought, he asked at once "In that case, if you don't mind having a cup of coffee with me?" He said being as polite and charming as possible. The other girls shoot daggers at them specially her. Ishita knew it could gain her enemies but she didnt had heart to say no to such a beautiful request. "Sure." She replied with curved lips.
"One paneer tikka sandwich and medium coke." She ordered while he asked the same for himself. As soon as waiter went, he voiced out "I thought it was a coffee." She smiled at it and replied in the same tone "I thought, more than coffee, someone was interested in talks." He smiled at it.
The snack time went away with there talks about their names, homeland, schooling, friends, hobbies etc. They noticed that there was nothing common between them. Punjab to Tamil, loud music to classical, basketball to books...still they enjoyed each other's company. Ishita hardly knew anyone in the college except for her chuddy buddy Mihika. While for Raman, such a large city was completely new exprience.
By the evening, it was time to leave. Waving each other goodbies, Ishita drove her Alto to her appartment while he headed to his new home - his hostel.
"Hey!! Raman...Raman kumar Bhalla." Raman spoke as he entered his room to find a guy arranging his things in the cupboard. The guy smiled at him. "Mihir..Mihir Arora." The boy replied forwarding his hand while Raman shook it. "From?" He asked. "From Chandigarh." Mihir replied. "Am from Ludhiana. A village nearby." He told. "Thats great buddy." He smiled back.
As her mother entered the house, Ishita switched off the TV from remote in her hands and jerked up from sofa seat. "Today was my first day in college." She informed her. "Oh.." she said looking at her for a moment and then shifting her gaze to her handbag as to find something. "Thats good. I hope everything was ok. After all you are Vishwanathan Iyyer's daughter." She said with a proud face. "No no...no problem. Amma actually...vo.." she tried to speak but her mother cut her short. "Ishu..if you need money do let me or your appa know beta. Okk?" She said and head towards her room. "No Amma...I needed you..." Ishita's face fell and her voice lowered as she heard the door of her parent's room shut. " and your time." She completed her sentence, more for herself than her parents. With a sad smile, she picked up her books and made her way towards her room trying to wipe away a lone tear which threatened to eacape her eyes.
The days at college were fun. Ishita and Raman became the talk of whole class. Everyone knew something was cooking between them. They could be spotted together in a classroom, in library, in canteen, in park or in any other place of college. They spent ample time with each other everyday.
But there was a pinch in his heart. She would roam with him all day. They would hang around. She knew everything about him, his family and his life by now. But she hardly mentioned about herself. She never allowed him to enter a privacy circle she had made around her.
He tried many times to come up with the topic about them and their relationship also but she always ignored it. "You are fun to hang around with. My most special friend." She would say pulling his cheeks. He wondered if she would ever make her lips also contact with those cheeks of his. Maybe, girls need time for all this. Relationship is not a Kid's play after all. And girls have to think more before submitting themselves to someone.
He himself was not sure what he felt for her. Maybe it was love, or maybe an attraction - a mere infatuation. Whatever it was, but he was sure about one thing. 'He could wait for this girl.' Yess...he was ready to wait his entire lifetime for Ishita. If thats love, then he is ready to accept it. He wondered what she thought about him. Like he always had an urge to replace her strawberry icecream while she licks it, did she also feel something for him. Did same electricity pass through her body when their hands accidently touched while walking.
One fine evening, they were sitting on a bench in the college park under shade of tree. Winters had striked Delhi and gladfully, sun was being merciful today. They enjoyed sunrays on their bodies as he spoke "Ishita...everyone talks about us." She looked at him tilting her head sideways. "So what Raman. We know we are not involved. Let people speak." She sounded indifferent to him. These were the times when he felt like he was litterally wasting his time walking behind such girl. His sane mind would advice to stop at that point only and look for any other girl in the college if he really wants one. But then his heart would overpower his mind, and he would sit there beside her still with a hope that she would come out of her shell one day and take their relation to a new level.
"But Ishita.." he tried to reason with her. "You and Me..there is something." He said with a hope in his voice and eyes. "Raman please" she said laughing out. "If people say we seem involved, it means there is something." She laughed hard again. He just stared at her. "Its been 3 months Ishita since we met. And from the very first day we are in constant talking terms. Whole day together at college and after that phone calls, chats and messages till late nights. If something happen in our lives, we want the other to be informed first. There are many more things. Just friends don't do all this. I think its high time that we think more about ourselves." He finally voiced out his feelings with a determination.
She looked at him and her mind pondered over what she heard moments ago. It was first time that he talked about all this. First time that he tried to cross the comfort zone of their friendship which they had made in these 3 months. Feeling uncomfortable and not knowing what to speak, she got up after saying just two words. "Raman please."
He couldn't let her go. He wanted to complete the talk and more than that he wanted her to know that she couldn't ignore him.
In an impulse, he got up and grabbed her arm from her wrist and pulled her to the tree. Her back touched the hard stem while he positioned his both hands on her either side locking her between the tree and himself.
