Pari: Love wala mess matlab

Raman: matlab yeh ki mujhe aapki Ishinaani bahut achi lagi thi but main unse keh nahi sakta tha

Pari: par kyun

Raman: kyun toh abhi aapko samajh nahi aayega par aage bataun phir kya hua

Pari: amm waise mujhe samajh aa jata par chalo aap batao phir kya hua

Raman: toh suno

*Flashback*

Raman thinking to himself (god yeh kya ho raha hai main kya kar raha hoon kya soch raha hoon kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai...she asked me a simple question and I didn't answer it. she was so right to ask it "why she" but main pagal kuch nahi keh paaya...she trusted me so easily and came with me to an unknown place and I could not trust her with my answer. Why didn't I tell him what I felt? My fear of a rejection increased so much that I managed to hurt her unwillingly. Why this happened. I should have told her.

He doze off while still lost in his "why" questions

Bye was the last word they had heard from each other two weeks back. She didn't message him. He didn't call her. There was no problem but yet there were so many problems.

Finally they collided at the chaas seller on a fine evening as if the evening conspired to make them meet. Ishita saw him and decided to leave without letting him see her.

Ignore kar rahi ho, came Raman's voice from behind.

Ishita: Nahi...Hi Raman. How are you?

Raman: why would you bother how am i

Ishita: sorry

Raman: did you think where I was from so many days, how I was, if my maid was giving me edible food, if my boss was giving me peace, if I was having anyone to talk at 4 AM in the morning.

Raman, she could only say.

Raman: what Raman. Kise ignore kar rahi ho Ishita. Mujhe ya khud ko

Ishita: I should leave Raman. It is late

Raman: can I walk with you?

Ishita: what

Raman: Tumhare ghar tak saath chalun?

Ishita: your car?

Raman: let it be here.

Ishita: chalo

They walked few kilometers silently. A temple passed and she folded her hands from outside only. He could only feel proud of his choice seeing this.

Having no more to bear it, he decided to finally break the ice.

Raman: I love you Ishita

Ishita: Raman

Raman: and I know you love me too

Ishita: please Raman don't say this

Raman: why not Ishita. I love you you love me then why can't I say.

Ishita: because I don't

Raman: you should start wearing black goggles in that case because love is evident in your eyes and it would only hide when your eyes are not to be seen.

Ishita: Please Raman

Raman: Ishita face it yaar. I thought you were strong

Ishita: ok fine if I accept then what

Raman: then what matlab

Ishita: we have no compatibility Raman. You are an engineer I am not even a graduate. You are Punjabi I am Tamilian. You are well settled in your career mine has not even started

Raman: do you call this as compatibility. No Ishita. You are simple I am simple, you are caring I need care, you are love giving I need love, you enjoy kids I love kids, you drink the roadside chaas, I love it. You don't show off, I have not learned to show off. You remember to ask me if my maid gave me good food, you are willing to help me anytime and you talk to me at 4 AM in the morning. When we are together hours just fly away. This is compatibility.

Ishita: hmm

Raman: hmm kya madrasan

Ishita: kuch nahi

Raman: toh ab?

Ishita: toh ab mera ghar aa gaya hai. Main jaati hoon

Raman: and?

And charge your phone when you reach home. The battery should not drain when we talk tonight, she said blushing and left without even waiting for his answer.

His happiness knew no limits today. He would have flew if he had wings.

She too was no different. Smile didn't disappear from her lips and it didn't go unnoticed by Mihika.

Ishita: Miku tu kal keh rahi thin a tujhe Rajma khaana hai. Chal aaj main banati hoon aur aaj na tu rest hi kar main hi kitchen bhi clean kar dungi

Mihika: kaise propose kiya usne

Ishita: Miku tujhe kaise pata

Mihika: shakal pe saaf dikh raha hai madam

Ishita just hugged her.

Mihika: I am so happy for you Ishu. Celebration time

She just smiled and smiled wider. Another important phase had gone today but brought in many other upcoming phases before going.

*Flashback end*

Pari: yeah yeah I love you bola I love you bola

Raman and Ishita laughed seeing their angel jumping in happiness.

Pari: uske baad aapne shadi kar li na. kahan pe hui shadi delhi mein ya yahan pe ya chandigarh mein

Raman: Shadi itni jaldi kaha Pari. Abhi toh bahut saari problems...

He became quiet when he saw Ishita signing him to not say anything ahead.

Ishita: haa bittu uske baad shadi ho gayi aur phir happily ever after.

Pari: yeahhh shadi ho gayi shadi ho gayi...ab main kal apne saare friends ko bataungi

Ishita: Zarur batana par ab chalo neeche Badi naani wait kar rahi hongi na hum kabse yahan hain...ab hum neeche jayenge evening milk piyenge aur dinner ki preparation dekhenge...thik hai?

Pari: Ok chalo

Ishita: Raman aapke liye chai yahan laun ya aap neeche aayenge

Raman: change karke aata hoon neeche tum chalo Pari ko leke

Thik hai, she said while taking Pari in her arms and left within no time.

So lucky he was he thought.

He went to the cupboard to take out his night clothes but suddenly his eyes fell on her red dupatta. He laughed remembering the incident.

*Flashback*

After that simple walk they spent so many days and nights talking on the phone enjoying their initial date phase and eagerly waiting for the coming weekend.

Saturday Night 3 AM

Her watsapp ringed

Raman: 7 more hours to see you

Ishita: 6 hours and 55 minutes Raman

Raman: impressive...someone is desperate to meet

Ishita: should I not be?

Raman: ofcourse

Ishita: waise kal kaha jaa rahe hain hum

Raman: sabse pehle sidhivinayak to thank him for giving you to me then Haji Ali for thanking him for giving me to you and then our FIRST DATE

Ishita: DATE

Raman: haa yaar date...after saying those words we will be meeting for the first time so first date hui na and tomorrow no excuses you will have to say what you didn't till now

Ishita: what I didn't say

Raman: wahi jo maine kaha tha

Ishita: kya kaha tha

Raman: Ishita

Ishita: Ishita

Raman: I love you

Ishita: dekhte hain

Raman: haa dekhte hain. I will force you to say

Ishita: you will only force me when you will meet me and you will meet me when you will sleep now and wake up in the morning

Raman: Simple good night bhi chal jaata...itna lecture mat do yaar

Ishita: GOOD NIGHT

Raman: How boring

Ishita: Aise hi hoon ab kya karen

Raman: I love boring people btw so yah good night.

Both slept eagerly waiting for the next day as it was about to be the most precious day of their lives.

This time she went down at 9.45 but still saw Raman standing there.

Ishita: Not again...aaj main 15 minutes pehle aayi phir bhi aap yahan

Raman: Aaj main ek ghanta pehle aaya islie yahan

Ishita: Aaiyyo aap 9 baje se yahan ho

Raman: Haa par ab sorry mat kehna please

Ishita: toh chalen phir

Raman: Ishita I must say tumhe kuch toh ho gaya hai

Ishita: kya hua Raman kuch problem hai kya

Raman: Na hi na hello yaar hadd hai...maine suna tha people talk more nicely when in love tum toh greet tak karna bhul gayi ho yaar

Ishita: Sorry. Hi Raman! How are you

Raman: hehhehe nautanki chalo ab

Ishita: car kahan hai aaj

Raman: Aaj no car

Ishita: toh phir?

Raman: Mumbai local?

Ishita: perfect

When two people are in love, the basic struggles of life appear so beautiful. When most of the people would find travelling by public transport imperfect, they enjoyed their privacy in open public.

He helped her board the train and came in himself and the train started in sometime.

Raman: tum darr gayi thi na rush dekhke

Ishita: nahi...darr gayi hoti agar aap na hote saath

Raman: waise now I have official rights to compliment you

She just managed to lower her eyes.

Raman: you look beautiful especially that you have worn my favorite color

Ishita: red and white is your favorite?

Raman: red and white adorned by you is my favorite

Ishita: pehle sidhivinayak jaa rahe hain na

So shy she was at handling the compliments, he thought.

Raman: pehle main thank you bolunga na

The 25 minutes journey soon passed and Raman showed her all the places through train window that came there way.

Finally they entered the mandir. They put off their shoes and she covered her head with her dupatta. The moment he saw her with the dupatta on her head, he lost it. It took her 3 screams to bring him out from his fantasies.

Ishita: chalen?

Raman: yah sure

Both bought Prasad and went in for darshan.

Kya maanga tumne, he asked after coming out

Ishita: yahi maanga ki ab jab bhi yahan aaun aapke saath hi aaun

She asked for my good only in her prayers as well, he thought and smiled.

Ishita: Aapne

Raman: Nothing

Ishita: Sachi nothing?

Raman: Sach wala nothing baba. I only thanked him for giving you.

She could only smile.

Ab Haaji Ali na, she asked

Raman: Ji madam ab Haaji Ali

Both proceeded and reached Haaji Ali in some time.

Ishita tumhe wahan se aana padega ladies entry wahan se hai and dur se darshan karke bahar nikal jaana us side. And yahan pe you will have to cover your head in that way he told her signaling her showing another girl.

Ishita: waise...mujhe nahi aata waise dupatta bandhna

Raman: can I help?

Ishita: nahi aap kaise...main try karti hoon

She did multiple attempts to tie her dupatta in the traditional Muslim way but only failed.

He held her hand demanding her to stop and tied the dupatta for her. This was their first physical encounter and the awkwardness was clearly visible on both their faces.

Raman: ho gaya chalo jao ab and lets meet here only after the darshan

Ishita: Bahut bheed hai Raman

Raman: do you trust me

She went in without saying anything and smile curved his lips seeing her trust on him.

After some time, both did the darshan and came out.

Raman: you are fine na

Ishita: ofcourse. Ache se ho gaye darshan and I even saw you through that curtain

Raman: Ander Peer Ji ko dekhne bheja tha mujhe nahi

Ishita: Peer Ji ko dekhte hi aap dikh gaye

He could only thank his stars after hearing it. He could not believe his ears that she saw him after God.

Ishita: arre kahan kho gaye

Raman: nahi kahin nahi...you know I have spent so much time sitting there on that wall of the sea

Ishita: Aaj bhi baithen wahan?

Raman: I planned a date for you

Ishita: please for some time?

Raman: acha chalo

They sat on the wall of the sea as if requesting the sea to make their love as deep as the sea's depth.

Her head was on his shoulder and both were just silently seeing the sea.

15 minutes had already passed when he spoke.

Raman: Ishita tumhe pata hai I have spent so many hours sitting here on this wall. When I came to Bombay and had no one to talk, I used to come here,sit on this wall and say everything I had in my heart to this sea. Aur aaj dekho na aaj tum saath ho aur phir se aaj main yahi isi wall pe hoon

Ishita: hmm

Raman: tumhe acha laga na aaj?

Ishita: hmm

Raman: kuch khaogi? Yahan bhutta bada acha milta hai

Ishita: hmm

Raman: Ishita kya ho gaya hai...itne saare hmm.

Ishita: ab yahan se kahan jayenge hum Raman

Raman: ghar baba aur kahan

Ishita: nahi Raman. Mera matlab hai hum, humara relation where will all this heed to?

Raman: Ishita mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai...kya baat hai bolo na

Ishita: Raman after 2 months, I will go back to Delhi

Raman: I know that

Ishita: does that not scare you?

Raman: scare kyun? You had to go back na. Jab abhi ke liye jaogi tabhi humesha ke liye wapis aaogi na

Ishita: Raman our families

Raman: as much as I know meri maa ko bas ek working bahu chahie jo thoda thik thaak earn karti ho aur dikhne mein unke bte se achi ho. Rahi tumhari family ki baat I will make sure they welcome a son and not give away a daughter.

Ishita: sab thik hoga na?

Raman: haan Ishita sab kuch thik hoga

Ishita: toh main ghar jaake mummy ko bata dun

Raman: bilkul nahi...i will come there and then we will tell together. Waise meri maa ki ek aur condition hai

Ishita: Kya

Raman: woh chahti hain ki unki bahu ek pota apne maayke se leke aaye dahej mein only if you know what I mean

Ramannn she shouted hitting him while all blushing.

Both had lived their day to the fullest and retired to their respective homes with a new ray of hope in life.

*Flashback end*

Ramannn he heard his mother calling this time. Aaya maa he shouted in the highest pitch and ran to change for the evening.
