Both came down from the party and started walking towards her home
Raman: So kitne din ka plan hai yahan
Ishita: Exact 3 months. I can't wait to be back home
Raman: Kyun. You do not like here
Ishita: No not at all. I don't have anyone here. Actually I have my roomie Mihika who has turned my best friend in very few days but then I feel lonely. I don't have anyone else.
Raman: I understand yaar.. mujhe toh yahan 4 saal ho gaye hain. I have a huge bunch of friends but I still feel lonely. I think the city is to be blamed. Everyone is running so much here that nobody has time to stop and look around
Ishita: Hmm
Raman: Bore kar diya kya
Ishita: Actually haan.. mujhe serious baatein thodi kam hi pasand hain
Raman: toh kya pasand hai
Ishita: Hasna, life ko fully jeena aur hasana
Raman: quiet thoughtful Ishita...aur kya pasand hai
Ishita: Some other time... mera ghar aa gaya hai and aunty won't let me in if the clock crosses 9
Raman: Paying guest rules I see
Ishita: I am sorry Raman. I can't ask you for a coffee as males are not allowed inside
Raman: That's completely fine. Bye good night and all the best for your 3 months. Hope that you return your home soon.
Ishita: Thanks for everything Raman...good night and bye
Both parted their ways in a way that they were never going to meet again but little did they know that the scenario of meetings had just started and it had to go on forever.
*Flashback end*
Ishita: toh ab khush ab jaan liya na hum kaise mile the
Pari: Par Ishinaani aap dono ne toh I love you kaha hi nahi ek dusre ko phir aapki shaadi kaise hui
Ishita after laughing at her cute question tells her,
Ishita: arre mera budhu bacha aise thode na kabhi bhi kisi ko I love you keh dete hain...tab toh hum sirf mile the..tab tak toh shayad friends bhi nahi bane the
Pari: oh I see phir kya hua Ishinaani
Ishita: Phir...
*Flashback*
Ishita: how could I be so stupid Mihika? Bade tashan mein kaha tha ki I will help you. Bade hi tashan mein unse woh questions bhi liye the aur interview promise kiya tha but jab na email ID li Raman ki na number liya toh ab yeh interview bhejun kaise
Mihika: Ab tu us meeting mein apna dimag kho baithi thi toh main kya karun. Kyun nahi liya uska number. Interview ke bahane number le leti toh kya pata aur kuch baat bhi ban jaati
Ishita: Stop it Miku. I will kill you. Ek toh mujhe itna stress hai upar se you are teasing me. Bechare ke kaam ki baat hai Miku understand yaar
Mihika: Ok ok fine. I won't say anything. Calm down and think kya kar sakte hain
Ishita: Ab kuch nahi kar sakte yaar. He would think that he met a stupid girl who spoiled his interview and wasted his time.
Mihika: No ways yaar. Idea let's search him on Facebook I am sure aaj ka banda hai he must be using Facebook.
Ishita: not bad yaar tera dimag bhi chalta hai kabhi kabhi
Within no time both of them searched tons of Raman Bhallas but got no success.
Ishita: wait miku. He told me his full name Raman Kumar Bhalla. Try searching with this
Mihika: got it. See yahi hai na
Ishita: Yup yup yahi hai Mihika
Ishita jumped in excitement
Mihika: toh ab kya uske laptop mein se bahar aane ka wait kar rahi hai.. add request bhej na
Ishita: Add request. Ajeeb nahi lagega I mean wrong signal samjha unhone toh
Mihika: you and your inhibitions baba. Fine message kar and ask for his number
Ishita: Why number bas email ID toh chahie so that I can email him and that's it
Mihika: Fine...you are hopeless jo karna hai kar
After a long thought process, Ishita messaged Raman
Hi Raman. I am Ishita. I am the one who saw you pouring the drink in the pot. We met the day before yesterday. Actually I had taken that interview but realized that I didn't take your ID. Please give it now so that I can mail you
After 5 minutes which were like 5 long hours to Ishita, the reply came
Hi Ishita. There was no need for such a long description. I do have a good memory and I remember you. Just give me your number.
Mihika: Oh ho dekha I told you ask for his number but you didn't but he straight away asked.
Ishita: fine na kya karun ab
Mihika: Kya karun means what just give it na
Again after a long thought process she typed a message
Oh sorry I thought I should introduce myself. My number*********
The phone rang within seconds and she took forever to pick it up even though she was sitting just beside the phone.
Ishita: Hello
Raman: Hi Ishita Raman here. Sorry to call you suddenly but I was very upset and I remember you said you like to make people laugh so I just thought of trying you
Ishita: what makes you upset
Raman: can we talk about that a little later
Ishita: yah fine so how was your day
Raman: Not so good. What about you
Ishita: not so good either.
Raman: why acting classes must be fun na
Ishita: yes they are but people make of me there
Raman: why? Did you show your true colors to them already?
Ishita: Arre no. bas aise hi...but it is ok...atleast they laugh because of me
Raman: You are truly talented yaar. You genuinely know how to make people laugh just like you made me laugh right now
Ishita: you are better now right
Raman: yes ofcourse. Waise I know the suspense is killing you. I was upset because that interview happened to be late and my boss scolded me and told me not to do that interview now
Ishita: Oh I am so sorry. It all happened because of me
Raman: No no why because of you
Ishita: because I was so dumb to not take your email ID and mail the interview on time
Raman: no even I forgot to give you
Ishita: but still I offered to help so I should have remembered to take
Raman: fine you are at fault. Now you owe me an apology
Ishita: yes I do. I am really sorry Raman
Raman: a simple sorry won't do.
Ishita: then what would do
Raman: a day out with me
Ishita again became silent hearing this and he realized her dis-comfort so well
Raman: don't worry I was just kidding. Nothing else needed. A sorry was fine even though you are not even at fault
Ishita: no no I was just thinking about what will I wear. Message me the time and place to meet and I will be there.
She ended the call without even waiting for his reply. They both were surprised at their unusual behavior but decided to accept it the way it comes.
*Flashback end*
Pari: wow Ishinaani toh aise hui aapki aur nanu ki dosti
Ishita: haa bittu
Pari: Meri teacher kehti hai ki shaadi tabhi hoti hai jab love hota hai... toh aap dono ko love kab hua
Ishita: hehe tumhari teacher bada kuch kehti hai
Pari: batao na plz plz plz
Ishita: acha baba suno aage
