*****************************************************************
It was now evening time. After the photoshoot all Bhallas and Iyers having their gala time with each other doing full on masti and pulling each other's leg. After Mihika's incident everyone was feeling low and depressed but this family photoshoot indeed bring enormous amount of happiness around them and feel them quite light-hearted.
Everyone was sitting in the living area having fun and long discussions over advantages of photoshoot and family gatherings where as only one soul was lost in his own thoughts. That one poor soul who wants some lone moments with his beautiful wife to whom he was trying hard to confess his feelings from last few days whereas the love of his life was accompanying his family in long discussions and probably even have forgotten about him and their incomplete conversations which are due from like ages.
He was getting irritated and frustrated by each passing second as his jhasi ki rani's never-ending lectures have started and he know there is no way to stop her now. So, finding everyone busy and paying no attention to him, he just stood up & made his way to his room fuming in anger and ready to burst anytime. No one noted his absence except for one who have seen him marching to his room and anger clearly visible on his face. She silently stood up and traced his steps to his room.
On the other side, after reaching his room he started muttering his Raavan Kumar tantrums for his lecture queen Jhasi Ki Rani..."Arre yaar...ab mai kya karu...yeh madrasan ko toh fikar hai nahi...mujhe hee kuch sochna padega...soch soch Raman beta jaldi soch...waise bhi iss madrasan ka koi bharosa hai nahi...kab iske dimaag ki tube light puri fuse ho jaaye pata nahi chalega..."
Opening the door of the room she saw him deep in his thoughts and muttering some dialogues which were some what audible to her sounding like "Pagal aurat" & "dentist madrasan" & how to forget "Jhasi ki rani". She laughed a little seeing weird angry expressions on his face changing every second.
He felt someone's gaze on him. Even before he can turn around he felt a tap on his shoulders. He turn around and saw the lady with a mischievous smile and raising her eyebrows at him as if asking him why he is here.
Raman getting embarrassed said "What are you doing here...?"
"To see what my Darling Jeeju is doing ..and that to all alone in his room...! By the way... why are you so angry...ummm well from the angry old man look on your face i can see the danger signs everywhere...Kyu Jiju...ab kiski itni himmat ho gayi jisne mere super handsome and dashing Jeeju se panga le liya hai...?" Mihika said to Raman making him more irritated.
"...main tumhe bhuddha dikhta hu...dono madrasan ek jaisi ho bilkul...tum madrasiyo ki problem kya hai...hann achhe bhale handsome aadmi ko bhuddha bana dete ho...angry old man..huh.. ."He asked getting irritated.
Mihika laughed and again asked him "ab btao bhi...why are you so angry...or i should ask on whom you are so angry.."? She asked raising her brows at him to which he chuckled and said "So...what should i do...your stupid Akka doesn't have time for me...either she is all busy in her samaj seva' or her work, clinic, family,etc..etc...only i am the one left she is not interested in..." He said huffing puffing. Seeing Raman glaring at her she couldn't control and burst into laughters making Raman more confused and angry.
"Whats so funny to laugh at...?" He asked giving her a glare.
.
"Okay..Okay...sorry...i will not laugh anymore...but tell me something...you wanted to spend some alone time with Akka na..?? So what's the problem...She is your wife...you have all the rights...So just go and simply ask her...! What's so difficult in that..?"
Raman gave a sarcastic laugh to her and said "wow...fab plan...you both madrasi sisters have equal amount of brain...there your akka has long forgotten that here someone's is dying to spend some moments with her and here you choti madrasan giving me pathetic ideas. Can't you for once talk something sensible...You want me to go In middle of both the families and ask...Ishita madam...would you like to spend some alone time with your long forgotten husband...who is desperately waiting to confess his feelings to you..?? You want.." Raman stopped abruptly and felt stupid of himself for confessing his inner turmoils to choti madrasan who was first looking at him in disbelief and then again started rolling in laughters.
He gave a glare to her and sat on bed with a cute pout. Mihika moved and sat next to him and asked "So...you both still haven't confessed your love to each other...wow,...Jeeju...you know i always ask Mihir to be like you...you are sooo romantic...and here you haven't even confessed...Come on Jeeju...I know you both love each other...and here..."
"Stop your lecture yaar...ek toh we are not able to talk properly...Whenever we are about to say from nowhere a voice will come and then the conversation is hanged on a cliff...Sometimes i just wish a magic trick so that i can make us both invisible...or send the entire family somewhere on an island...at least ishita will pay some attention towards me..huh dentist kahiki..."
"Aww...my poor romantic Jeeju...Toh matlab sabhi aapke romance mein haddi bann gaye hai...arre toh ismein problem kaisi...family ko kahi bhej do like picnic something...aur akka ke saath time spend karlo..." She said smiling cutely making him smile too.
"Waah Waah Kya idea diya hai choti madrasan ne...Arre meri maa...mujhe yehi karna tha toh mai tumse kuch kehta hee kyun...I would have done this by myself...You know what main actually mein yehi karne wala tha...but problem is your Akka...She will not use her brain and we will end up again sitting in the middle of family laughing on some silly Pj's." He said getting more irritated while she continued and said "Arre Jeeju suno toh...Mai help karti hu na...and aisa plan banaungi ki Akka khud sabke saath jaane se mana karengi aur ek better idea hai mere pas...jisse shyad wo khud hee confess karle...aur aapko kuch karna hee na pade... ...ahem ahem..." She left her words in middle ending with a wink.
He smiled listening to her and said "...Thank god..at least not every madrasi is turn out to be my enemy...". She laugh and mocked at him "Kuch bhi haan Jeeju.."
"Now please if you care to explain that how is this gonna happen...kyuki as far as i know your Akka...She is the one who will not open her mouth until and unless she is out of her senses... "
"umm jeeju...Thats what my plan is... listen..." And this talk continued for a long time until Ishita entered the room to see where her hubby and sister disappeared.
Raman was smiling ear to ear whereas Mihika was giggling watching her Jiju in full Raavan mode. Ishita was all confused seeing both of them but washed away the thoughts and asked them to come for dinner as everyone was waiting for them. They, after controlling their mischievous grins, moved out happily leaving an amused Ishita behind. She let out a sigh of relief seeing Mihika so happy...and also appreciates her Raavan Kumar in her mind.
Dinner was a silent affair as everyone was tired but only relief to them was next day was saturday. After dinner when everyone was settled in living room for some more chit chat Raman exchanged looks with Mihika while she silently winked at him & wished him luck. Raman drew everyone's attention to him and said "Umm...Wo kal Saturday hai na...Sab next two days ke liye free hai...and so much have happened in these days ...So i was thinking that why not all of us go for an outing...lets say some resort in outskirts of delhi...Everybody here needs a change...and masti bhi ho jaaygi ...family ke saath..."
Everyone was surprised at first but then gave in idea thinking that he is doing to cheer up everyone and especially Mihika. One smiling look from Mihika and they were all ready for the outing plan and started discussing their activities. Whereas Raman went near Mihika and in a low voice he said "Thank you so much Mihika...warna tumhari Akka pagal kar deti mujhe kal family ke beech mein bitha kar..."
She giggled and said "Ab yeh sab chodo Jeeju aur yeh socho ki kal meri Akka ke liye kya special karne wale ho..."
"Ahemm...tumhari Akka ko toh tum mujh par chod do...aur tum sherni madrasan...kal Mihir ko kha mat jana waha..." He said winking at her while listening to Mihir's name her face fell. Raman noticed it and while taking her hand in his he said "Mihika...maine kya kaha tha tumhe... yeh sab tension chodo...tumhe pata hai na ki tumne kuch galat nahi kiya...then why are you giving pain to yourself and Mihir too. Tumhe pta hai na ki kal sab waha jaane ke liye ready huye hai toh sirf tumhari wajah se...wo sab tumhe khush dkhna chahte hai...chalo ab jaldi badi wali smile do...aur promise karo...ki tum khudko aur Mihir ko dono ko ek mauka dogi...kal you both have your time...kabhi kabhi sirf baat karne se sab thik ho jata hai...samjhi .."
Haan Jeeju samajh gayi...no rona dhona tomorrow pakka..." They both smiled and discussed their plan once more. Both families called it a night and moved back to their respective rooms after discussing their plans for tomorrow. That night everyone was having a sound sleep again leaving a poor soul who was pacing in his room left to right and had almost counted every inch of the room.
[Well ...i don't need to tell the name of the poor soul...:P :P we all know that he could be only one...Puttar the great..:P Enough of masti...Don't you want to know the reason why i am calling Puttar --a poor soul...so lets peep in a flashback...here we go...]
Flashback
After the photoshoot was done, Raman heaved a sigh of relief seeing his family smiling and laughing to the core. Seeing everyone happy he patted himself mentally for succeeding in his plan to get back everyone to their real self. While standing in a corner his eyes were searching for only person...for his angel...and there she was...laughing with everyone...He smiled seeing her and thanked her for everything she has done and was doing for their family. He considered himself to be the luckiest person on the entire planet.
Apart from that he couldn't Thank enough his Father and his father in law for proposing this relationship in front of their families. He accepted that this was a contract marriage tagged as "Sirf Ruhi Ke liye" but now everything has changed and changed for good. One thing he was sure of was the fact that this marriage is now no more based on the tag of Sirf Ruhi Ke Liye ...
He knew very well that he loved her...he had known this fact for months...but was not ready to accept it in his male ego. But when he had gone through such situations where he felt he can lose her any moment, when he felt that someone is more closer to her other than him, when he realised that may be he is not a good husband to her..may be she doesn't deserve to be here in such situations...those lonely moments gave him some sense...gave him the feeling of helplessness...gave his heart the strength to accept his love for her...taught him the meaning of falling in love again...gave his mind a mental piece and support of believing in his present and future rather wounding old scars of past.
That feeling and restlessness about the thoughts...thoughts which say ...what if she have really loved Mani...what if she have found Mani better than him...what if she have chosen that person over him...these thoughts... which were erupting in his mind and heart to which he gave a final break and realised that he is incomplete without her. He can't afford to lose her now. May be it was meant to be happen this way...Maybe God had pre-planned everything ...he wanted him to realise his love for her...to teach him a lesson...to tell him that feelings are not meant for keeping them to yourself only ...they are meant to be expressed...how much they meant to us...how much you have fallen for them...And then he decided to keep his all pain aside...and never ever let go of her. He know she deserved all the happiness in this world...and if he really want see her happy...he will confess his feelings to her...and tell her how much she is important to him...to his life...he wanted to tell her that she is the sunshine of his life...he wanted to pamper her...and wanted to be the reason of her smile.
Well he was busy with his thoughts when he felt that someone is shaking him..or we should say waking him up from his dreams. He looked here and there and then he found his sunshine standing beside him with confused looks and arching eyebrows at him. He smiled stupidly when she said "Raman ...are you alright...do you want me to check your temperature..."
Raman's trance broke and he was crashed back to the reality by his Jhasi Ki Rani..."ummm ...tum kuch keh rahi thi...ahem.." He tried to fumble with the words so that his chant madrasan didn't guess that he was in her dreams only when like reading his mind she said "Nahi...nothing...mai kyu kehne lagi kuch...but tell me something...aap aaj kuch weird behave nahi kar rahe ho...i mean...muskura rahe ho...Aur maine toh aapko blush karte ve bhi dekha hai...kya baat hai...Raavan Kumar...kahi kisi se pyaar toh nahi ho gaya hai aapko...hmm"
Ishita said all this naughtily though half expected to atleast confess but to her disappointment he was indeed back in his Ravaan mode and muttered "Ab madrasan itni jaldi bhi kya...thoda toh intezaar karwaane do...warna maza nahi aayega..."
"Kuch kaha aapne.." She said looking at him with confused expression while he said "Umm nahi...nahi toh...achha yeh sab chodo...wo apni wish toh btao...jiske liye itni excited ho rahi thi.." raman said changing the topic as he didn't want her to dig out the depth on this conversation...He wants to save it for tomorrow.
"Arre haan...I have really forgotten...achha...kal pura din...aapko mere liye kuch special karna padega...you have to pamper me...and also make me feel special..." She said looking into his eyes reflecting the inner meaning of her words to him through her eyes. She wanted him to confess his feelings...She was yearning for his one touch...And looking at his antics she was sure of one thing that she has to take initiative from her side...because she had known his way of giving hints...and she do not want to face further embarrassing situations.
He as if reading her mind still acted ignorant and said "Ohh...toh madrasan ko pamper aur karo...Listen Jhasi ki Rani...i m not gonna do any such thing...pta chala pamper ke naam par tum mujh par hee talwar chala do...mai bechara aadmi kuch kar bhi nahi paunga...Aur tum madrasiyo ko aise faltu ke ideas aate kaise hai...sahi mein Dono madrasan sisters are same.."
He have said last words in a low voice...only audible to him while she gave angry glares to him and said "Kitne insensitive ho aap...dusro ki feelings ki toh value hee nahi hai...no sorry sorry...actually sirf apni biwi ki feelings ki value nahi hai..."
"Arre...toh wish aisi faltu ki kari hai tumne...aur tumhe kya special feel karau...tum already bohot special ho mere liye..." He again regretted his slip of tongue while she looked at him amused and said "Kya...Kya kaha aapne abhi..."
"Kya...kuch bhi toh nahi kaha maine..." He said
"Kuch bhi bolte ho...aaj kal aapke PJ's ko kya ho gaya hai...unko bhi chutti par bhej diya hai kya Raavan Kumar ne..."
"unko chutti par bhejne ki jarurat hee nahi padhti...Tumhare aas paas aate hee darr kar bhaag jaate hai..."
"ahh...kuch bhi...mai na ja rahi hu ..waise bhi i am very happy today...mujhe aapse ladh kar mood nahi kharab karna apna...bye.."
"Haan jaao...aur suno saath saath apne dialogue writer ko mere pas bhej dena...usse Kuch bhi'
ke alava bhi kuch dialogues bolna sikha dunga mai..." With that she sprinted off and Raman muttered "Chalo bhai...madrasan ko pamper karne ke ideas socho...chal Raman Bhalla...ab Pyaar kiya toh Darna kya.."
Flashback end
Present
He sighed in helplessness of not getting good ideas and sat on his side of bed muttering "Yeh madrasan kitne araam se so rahi hai meri neend udaa kar...Ab choti madrasan se help bhi nahi maang sakta...warna uska romance par lecture start ho jaayega...Nhi nahi raman...abi tere aise din nahi aaye hai ki tujhe apni biwi se romance karne ke liye ideas mein dusro ki help leni pade..."Suddenly he smiled as if a bulb was lighten above his head giving him the much needed idea.
Next morning everyone was running one room to another room for packing all kind of stuff needed in the outing. Raman have made an excuse of some sudden work in office and went out whereas everyone was ready and was waiting for him only. Raman called Mihika and asked her to execute their plan. Mihika nodded and cut the call and made an announcement and said that "Raman jeeju will be late due to some last minute important meetings,..." Mihir was about to interrupt when she held his hand and asked him to keep quiet. She then continued and said "unhone yeh bhi kaha hai..ki aap sab chalo...mai mihir aur akka jeeju ke liye yaha rukenge..."
Everyone was little sad but then they agreed and left. On the other hand as everyone left Ishita asked them to sit in living room and she will prepare coffee for them. As soon she left Mihir turned to Mihika and gave her Spill-out-the-beans look. She smiled naughtily and said "Mihir...tum na bhuddhu hee rahoge sach mein..." And with that she told him that Raman wants to spend some time alone with Ishita adding a statement that they haven't confessed their feelings yet...
Mihir looked at her for a second and laughed "Ohh god..Bhai bhi na...ab tak nahi bataya Bhabhi ko...aur tum mujhe aise hee unromantic bolti ho..."
Mihika looked at him smiling and said "Achha baba...nahi kahungi tumhe unromantic...par bhuddhu chale ab...Ab jeeju ko phone karo aur btado ki sab chale gaye hai.."
"Mikuu tell me something...agar hum inke confession mein thoda sa spice add karde toh...whats say.." Mihir said winking at her while she looked confused and asked "Kaisa spice.."
Mihir gave her his innocent yet mischievous smile and said something in her ears to which she looked at him shocked and said "waise idea bura nahi hai...par mujhe tumhare intentions mein spice add karne se jyada iss baat ki tension hai ki kahi Jeeju ko pitwa na do tum Akka se..aur agar galti se bhi unhe pata chala ki yeh humne kiya hai...toh jeeju na tumhe chodenge na mujhe..."
"Arre yaar Mihika...aise hee darr rahi hai tu...tu toh meri madrasan sherni hai... Bhai ko baad mein dekhenge...Thik hai.." She nodded while Mihir made a call. Till then Ishita was back with coffee. Trio sit together and Ishita said to call Raman ask him that how much time he will take...to which Mihir replied "umm wo Bhabhi..bhai busy hai meeting mein ...Hamari bohot important client hai..unke saath..wo." He was cut by Mihika who getting annoyed said "Mihir..why are you hiding this fact from Akka...She have the right to know what her husband is doing..."
"What do you mean Mikkuu...What happen...what are you hiding Mihir." Ishita asked seeing their worried expressions to which Mihir replied "Bhabhi wo..wo mai..hamari ek client hai...Shanaya Singhaniya...aur wo.."
Again he was cut by mihika who said angrily "Tum rehnedo Mihir...Waise bhi tum apne Bhai ke against kya bologe...mai batati hu Akka...Jeeju hai na..unka affair chal raha hai...iss Shanaya se...huhh...aur yeh Mihir..sabse yeh baat chupa raha hai..." Mihika blurted out in one go whereas ishita sat there numb to react anything. Recovering from the shock they have given she said "yeh kya bol rahe ho tum dono...He is not like that..naa nahi..Raman aise nahi hai...tumhe jarur koi misunderstanding huyi hai...thats it..."
"Umm Bhabhi...yeh Mihika kuch bhi kehti hai...affair nahi hai ...Bhai ka toh pata nahi...but Shanaya Bhai par jarur flat ho gayi hai...Aur pure din wo office mein hee rehti hai...Aur important client hai isliye Bhai kuch nahi keh paate..." Mihir said with a straight face while Mihika again interrupt and said "Achha...aur baaki ki baat kaun batayega...Akka...Jeeju bhi kam nahi hai...kabhi kabhi toh wo bhi flirt karte hai uske saath...Abi bhi when we have called him piche se uss shanaya ki hee voice aa rahi thi and he said to us that he is very busy and don't call him again..."
Ishita silently listened to everything. She was not sure whether this is true or not when she heard the doorbell. She stood up and opened the door only to find a man standing with a big flower bouquet. She took that from him and asked "Kisne Bheja hai yeh Bhaiya..."
The man replied "We don't know that Ma'am...we only knew that these flowers are for Raman Bhalla..." And he left after saying this.
An hour passed...and most of the hall was covered with different flowers bouquets and cards...be it small or big...with lovely love quotes and poems written as if professing their love. Also some gifts were there too which were kept directly in Raman's room as per the instructions given to the man. After reading each and every message Mihika concluded that this could be only Shanaya...Mihir and Mihika made sure that Ishita do not read any of the message rest they have to bear the consequences. Ishita with a sad face marched in her bedroom. Tears were visible in her eyes with anger. Mihika followed her there. While she sat near her she said "Akka...don't worry...Jeeju se toh na ab mai hee baat karungi...i will not leave him..."
"Nahi Mihika...Tum aur Mihir Jaao...Raman se mai baat karungi...agar yeh sab sach hai..toh shyad meri bhi galti hai...maine unhe ab tak nahi btaya ki mai bhi unse pyaar karti hu...aur isliye wo aise..." Ishita said looking away from her...While Mihika slapped her head mentally and said "Akka..wo...wo haan...kya pata Jeeju aapko jealous karne ke liye kar rahe ho...I mean...jisse aap unhe confess kardo..." Mhika replied not wanting their plan to fail.
Till then Mihir also reached there and said "Haan..Bhabhi...aisa ho toh sakta hai...Par ek baat toh pakki hai..Shanaya full too Bhai par fida hai...aur mauke ki talaash mein hai...Mai toh kehta hu Bhabhi...Bhai jaise hee aaye...aap unhe achha lesson sikhao...jisse wo aapko jealous karne ke liye toh kya...waise bhi kisi se flirt na kar paye..."
Mihir and Mihika left from there after putting her anger on pitch and putting her into Jhasi Ki Rani mode. Ishita called Raman to which he said He is very busy...and will be back in one hour when she heard some voice of a girl calling him and in an instant he disconnected the call. Ishita fumed in anger and called Mihir asking him to not disturb them by any means and also to let the family know that they would not be able to come up today...Mihir could not control himself so he asked "Bhabhi...aap Bhai pe jyada chillana mat please..." To which she replied "Don't worry Mihir...aaj lecture sunane ka din nahi hai...itne mahino se lecture hee suna rahi thi..." And with that she cut the call and threw her phone and messed her room in full anger.
On the other side Mihir and Mihika laughed like maniacs...their trick was indeed working. They only wanted to add some spice in their boring life. Mihika finally asked "Mihir...bechare jeeju ...unko toh pata bhi nahi hoga...ki ghar pouchte hee unke saath kya hone wala hai..." Mihir listening to her laughed and said "Aur bechari Bhabhi...unhe toh yeh bhi nahi pata ki wo flowers gifts..Bhai ne unke liye bheje...Aur shanaya toh Bhai ki secretary hai jisse maine kaha tha ki jaise hee Bhai ko Phone aye wo piche se Bhai ko bulaye..."
They both laughed and continued their journey while Raman reached home with a big smile. He was late because he wanted to give something special to her apart from the other gifts he had given. It was evening by now. He opened the door with another big bouquet of red roses and gift and reached in the hall only to see a big mess. All the bouquets and gifts were scattered on the floor. He was shocked rather confused as he hadn't expected this. He kept his bouquet and gift aside and reached his room. As soon as he opened the door he was welcomed by a cushion on his face which he had catched it on time. He saw the mess in his room which made him shock and with that a fuming Ishita...Like a perfect chocolate cake with strawberry at top.
