Saturday Saturday
Chapter 1
It was saturday morning when the chill woke up Ishita earlier than usual. She glanced over the bed to see Ruhi spread across Raman and smiled. Ruhi had been sleeping with them every night since Adi and Shagun moved in. Ishita and Raman had both felt that it would be good to give Adi his space as he was quite a bit older than Ruhi and a boy besides.
She loved snuggling with her bachu but at the same time she felt guilty for wishing for some alone time with Raman. Things had been so tense in their house since Shagun came, partly because of the awkward situation and the rest because of Shagun's doings. She stared at him longingly. He hadn't shaved in days and his beard was getting out of control but still he looked so cute. Even in sleep he was sporting a frown, probably shouting at something she'd done in his dream. Feeling naughty, she reached over and tickled his nose. He stirred and wiggled his nose as if subconsiously getting rid of a fly. When she tried it again, he woke up suddenly and caught her hand in his.
R: subah subah kya natak kar rahi ho madrassan
Ishita, embarrassed at being caught and not knowing what to say, just stuck her tongue out at him.
Raman enjoyed seeing his serious biwi in such a playful mood and interlocked his hands with hers and tried to pull her closer. Ishita was now as close as she could be without being on top of Ruhi.
I: What are you doing Raman, Ruhi uth jayegi.
R: arrey yaar, ab to soh rahi hai na...to mujhe todhi romance karne do
I: jao jao, tumhare romance ki shuruaat se pehle tumhara woh phone bhajne lage ga. Dekh lena.
R: bhaad mein gayi phone. Pata hai mere dreams mein aayi thi tum last night. Wohi tracks pehen kar meri taraf daud rahi thi, slow motion mein. Thankfully koi aur aas paas nahin tha, sirf hum dono. Jab tum mere paas aayi, maine tumhe apne baho mein liya aur tumne mujhe biwio wala bye bola.
Dono galo par...
Raman continued to play with her fingers as his eyes bore into her. Heat began to rise inside Ishita.
I (softly): aur uske baad kya hua...
R: aur kya, tumne utha li aur sab kuch khalass! I woke up to the biwi who gives flying kisses while standing inches away from me. Paanch minute aur sone deti toh I would made some progress with my dream biwi at least!
Ishita laughed while blushing profusely.
Clearly her Raavan Kumar was as frustrated as her with their current situation. All of their efforts of being alone had been thwarted. Even her madrassi suprise kiss was ruined by his stupid conference call. It seemed like fate was keeping them apart for other people's entertainment. As much as she longed for his touch, she also felt very nervous for when it actually happened. She would surely be a blubbering mess. Chalo, at least in his dreams I'm more confident. Now she wished the dream had gone further and immediately felt embarrassed at her thoughts. This was so sad, now even she was was living vicariously through his dreams.
Raman loved watching her blush in this way. In reality, the dream had managed to go much farther but he didn't want to drive her away with the remaining details. Already the feel of her lips was fading away, try as he did to hold onto the wisp from his dream. Forget nightly dreams, Raman had been day dreaming about her for weeks. About how their confession would finally happen, about him kissing her for the first time and about a lot more he was going to do that he couldn't tell her now. Somehow he had to find a way otherwise he was going to implode. Next time when his jhansi ki rani gave him an inch he had to, HAD TO, take the mile.
With that Ruhi started to wake up and Ishita regretfully took her hand back from him.
I: Ruhi beta aap uth gaye. Chalo chalo hum brush karke nashtey ke liye chale?
R: tumhe baad mein dekhlunga madrassan. Akhir pati ke sapne ko puri karna, patni kar farz hota hai
Ishita playfully smacked him as she picked Ruhi up into her arms and walked into the bathroom with a smile.
Ruhi: Ishima, papa kya bol rahe hai
I: Pata nahi Rooh, tumhare papa ko kya kya soojta hai
