*beeep*
" Come home soon, I'm waiting for you"
Raman read the text message from Shagun.
"Gosh this women!" Raman thought.
A phone call broke Raman from his thoughts, he was going to break the phone if Shagun had called agian! He had ignored all her calls , simply txting her he was busy with a client, but this time He smiled reading the caller Id.
" why aren't you home yet?" Her voice chirped in as soon as he answered
" and just how do you know that? "
" I don't see your car"
" Accha...are you spying on me madrasan?"
" its called caring for your husband"
" husband? Oh so you remember?" he asked sarcastically
" ...where are you?" She asked sternly trying to divert
" office "
"Raman it's almost 11:30, why are you working so late ?just come home "
"In a bit.."
"i'm not requsting ..It's my order Raman"
Raman smiled sensing her JKR mode is on
" I'm leaving...now " he said as he grabbed his coat.
Raman and Ishita were on the phone till Raman reached their flat.
Ishita observed his car pulling in from her balcony.
" Don't forget to lock your car"
"are you still spying on me?" Raman asked looking up
" cAn you see me ?"
" what you think you have some extraordinary vision? Only you can see"
"No..."
" you know something... even from here you look scary, better go inside. If someone sees you they will start believing in ghosts"
" how rude? You never change... Teekai I don't want to scare you any longer , good night Raavan Kumar" saying as she hanged up.
Raman was taken back a little as she abruptly hanged up on him, but a smile crept on his face as he realized how happy he was just talking to her. That smile on his face only she seemed to bring.
His phone rang agian
" Make sure you eat before you sleep na " saying that she hanged up agian.
Shaking his head at her cuteness, Raman went home. To his suprise Shagun was sleeping on the couch. He saw the food on the table with two plates. She must of been waiting for him. Just what is she exactly trying to do ,he shook his head annoyingly. He went straight to his room to freshen up and came back. He was hungry. He walked to the dining table, something stopped him, something felt odd, something incomplete.
Knock! Knock!
"She can't be asleep now" he mumbled
Ishita opened the door.
" RAMANNN ?!?!? What are you doing here ?!?!?...how did you get here?!" ishita was shocked to see him in her rooms balcony.
" I'm a superman you know ,I jumped" he said with a wink.
Ishita gasped.
" Raman we live on the 12th floor... What if "
Raman covered her mouth with his hand "
" you really have to stop with this what if game of yours...I'm here na"
" you could've used the front door" she said with a frown.
" why so Amma and Appa could be awake too? "
" you could of called me to open the door"
" point , I could of ... But this is more fun ... I felt like a teenager coming to meet his girlfriend "
"Raman..." Ishita said shyly at their close proximity.
"I missed you" he sad huskily pushing a strand of hair behind her ears.
" me too" she said resting her head on his chest
" why are we doing this then?" He asked softly feeling in the hug.
" so you can feel like a teenager "
both laughed looking at each other.
"you ate right?"
" No ...what did you make"
" I heard Shagun made Palak Paneer ...Ruhi was saying"
" You know I like yours better"
Ishita made palak paneer and both ate together sitting near the window under the moonlight in her room, just talking. Like that they also fell asleep, holding hands ,her head on his shoulders and their plates unwashed.
The morning sun hit and Ishita was instantly woken.
She shaked Raman to wake him up.
"Raman, you should go back home, Adi will be waking up soon"
Raman woke to see his wife sitting so cloesly to him.
" You look beautiful" and gently brushed her cheeks with his fingers.
Ishita blushed at his remark.
" you said I looked scary yesterday " she said with pout.
" hmmm from far... You need to be close like this for me to see... You see my vision isn't as great like yours" he moved in closing the distance between them. Both were caught in the moment and gave in tilting their head...wanting the kiss... Their first kiss.
Just then Raman's phone rang , bring them back to reality.
Ishita got up pushing him.
" chalo... I have to get ready for clinic"
Raman also made his way back to his residence, little disppointed but happy .
" Raman, Where were you? I called you so many times... What time you came home. Where do you go this early?... You didn't eat anything ?... I'll get aloo paratha ready for you."
She tried sounding sincere and caring as soon as she she saw him walking in.
" Neelu !.. I need to leave for office soon, pack my lunch. I'm going to freshen up"
Both Raman and Ishita walked out of their house at the same time.Leaving for office and Clinic respectively.
" Are you following me ?" He asked pushing the button for elevator.
"what if I am?" she shoot back.
" Then I don't want to be going for office"
Ishita let out a hearty laugh.
Both got in the elevator and soon as the the doors closed. Raman closed in on Ishita, pushing her agianst the wall.
"Ramannn... What are you doing?... Someone might come"
" Let's go somewhere...just me and you"
" Raman ...I have too many appointments ...not today"
" What is this I have to fix appointment to be with my wife now?... and whats this you changed your shampoo?...I like it" he said inhaling her new frangnace.
Ishita smiled at how he noticed the small difference.
The door opened. Shagun who went out to drop Adi and Ruhi saw them in such position. Ishita was the first to react and she instantly pushed Raman away.
Ishita looked toward Raman
" Listen...Don't stay late like yesterday ... Come home early. I'll be home"
Raman smiled
" Make Chicken Tikka for dinner, I'll be home by 8"
" I'll be waiting...and listen use the front door this time..no superman work okay?"
" Teek hai, I'll come to see my WIFE today" he said with a wink. Making Ishita blush.
Both got in their cars and drove away smiling...something that was missing the last two days on both their faces returned. Both anticipated on returing home soon.
