So, as the title says this is a FunShot. A funshot is an oneshot that is of fun genre. I coined the word just now. Call it FS, if you would. đ
I was terribly disappointed with the ongoing episodes of the show and I wrote this off just to free my mind.đł

Of Teeth & Tongue
Ishita blushed perfect red as she recalled their first kiss just days back, and laughed as she remembered how they could not face each other after that. After almost a year of their marriage they had finally decided to give a chance to this marriage, to themselves.
"Which side of the bed?" he asked while he could feel blush creeping up his face behind the thick stubbles. He could not control his grin and smiled, in an effort to reduce the awkwardness that was rising between them. He could not believe he behaved like his teenager self, who was shy when it came to girls.
He scolded his mind and told, "Kyun bey Raman Bhalla, ab Madrassan mein Girl' nazar aane lagi?"
Not that he wasn't scared to share a bed with the Jhaansi Ki Raanee. But, knowing how she slept in a disciplined way on the small couch, he didn't found her a threatening entity. He tried to tell himself that she would not kick him in his sleep.
"Anyone would be fine..." she replied trying to sound confident but felt miserably.
She realised that she behaved like a bride wedded hours ago. She scolded herself mentally and decided she will be normal. She breathed and counted One, Two... and stole a glance at her husband. Bang! She forgot what was after that. She repeated in her mind, One, And Two, and... And. This is not happening to her. She prayed to her Murugan to restore her sanity and cursed him for his handsomeness under her breath. Her husband was visibly very amused with her state. To ease out the tension between them, she blabbered suddenly, "I'll take the right side" and manage to flaunt a pirated smile.
So, when they finally settled themselves under the duvet, the she recognised she was showing her back to him, and him facing the ceiling. She knew she would not be sleeping this night owing to her shyness when she felt a tug at the comforter from his side. She pulled it towards herself. He yanked it towards himself and she snatched it away from him again. He pulled it and held it tight. She tried to pull it again but in vain.
"Raman, leave!"
"Ishita, leave!"
They screamed in unison and sat up facing each-other. For two seconds they shot daggers at each other with eyes. Ishita walked over to fish out another comforter. So they lay down again, but this time facing each other and announcing a cold war. They invited blissful slumber to come with winning smiles. Both of them, devoured each other's challenging faces as they allowed sleep take them over, in the not so peaceful night. But they didn't know what awaited them.
A loud thud awakened her with jerk. Startled, she called for Raman but he was nowhere to be seen. So, she roamed her eyes around the room to find the source of the sound and what she found shocked her first and then she broke out into peals of laughter. Raman on the floor, fell out of bed in his sleep. "Ayyo Murugan" she chanted between her giggles and lend her hand for him. He felt insulted and threw away her hand that she extended to help him. She apologised quickly and helped him sit on the bed. Then, she burst out laughing again and asked, "Were you doing a Sita-Haran and got kicked by her?"
He looked at her as if he would eat her and then told gritting his teeth, "One word and I will chop your nose off, Surpanakha". That comment from him made her giggle louder and she asked holding her breath, "kaise?"
"Arrey , I am used to sleep on the right side, but, today I took the left side and so..." he said grumpily.
She felt responsible for his fall. And all of a sudden she collected her pillow and kept it on the couch, her usual place. She felt like crying. Why has this to happen every time she wanted him closer to her? She felt herself on the verge of crying and she could not believe she cried over this. She had become so shameless her mind told her. She was shedding tears because she was deprived of sleeping with her husband. Why not? She argued with her mind. Every time he wanted to come closer his darned phone will ring, then there will be someone peeping in, or something other than that will happen, and now this, really, Murugan? She felt like whining. As she was going to her couch, she noticed Raman clutching his face. She could not fathom how can he hurt his teeth by falling from bed? That's unlikely enough. And being a proud topper of Maulana Azad she knew from the clutch that it was a cavity pain. "Ayyo Amma!"
Did she kiss him just days back, with that tooth decay? No, no, Murugan, this is not happening! She remembered how he had plunged his tongue in her mouth, while a billion of bacteria might have been transported in her mouth. No! She should have paid heed to her inner voice which detected a light yellow-ish-ness in his teeth. Hell, she didn't because she was too eager for the kiss. "Stop doing geographical analysis of a kiss, Ishita Raavan Kumar Bhalla!" she mentally slapped herself as she settled herself on the left side of the bed now. Looking at Raman's apologetic face she dropped the idea of settling on couch. But, the James Bond in her vowed to solve the mystery.
So, the next morning the sweet wife disappeared and got transformed into Jagga Jasoos 007. She gave a lop-sided wicked smirk as she prepared Italian Hot Chocolate to catch the culprit red-handed.
When a delighted husband in Raman Bhalla thanked his wife and sipped on his favourite Italian beverage, he didn't knew he was a victim of the dentist in his wife. As soon as he feasted on it a sharp pain hit him and he shrieked, he realised he was trapped. He sneaked a glance at his wife who now gritted her teeth and hinted at the upcoming apocalypse. He got up, looked at her, looked at the hot chocolate, looked at her and ran to his mother's room.
Ishita followed him but the sight amazed her. The daring RKB hid himself in his mother's pallu. Just when he saw his wife approaching he cried his lungs out, "Mujhe nahi jaana daant ukharne"
"You... how dare you live with that puke worthy mouth of yours. Mummiji inke daaton mein saran hai!" she ran behind him and he climbed on the bed.
"Maa, save me from the witch", he cried and jumped on the other side.
His mother now took the initiative to resolve the misunderstanding. She made her daughter-in-law sit on the sofa while his son was standing in front of the washroom, so that he can hide himself if the situation calls for, just in case Madrasan ran like a bull behind him.
"Puttar, you are not aware of a truth of your husband", the guilty lady started.
The gullible tone of his mother made her brace herself for the "truth"
"Puttar, he has Dentophobia", she concluded.
"Kya?" her eyes popped out of sockets. And then she let out an evil laugh and said, "Ab aaya Kurkur Kumar washroom ke peechhe!"
"Oye Ishita, don't be too harsh on him" her mother-in-law tried to pacify his fears and in no time he locked himself in the washroom.
After some ten minutes, the whole Bhalla house hold gathered before the closed door of washroom, trying to woo Raman out of it.
"Bhai, I will set you with the maths teacher of Ruhi, kya naam tha, Sheila Ki Jawani, ab bahar aao", started Romi and in response a wide smile broke out in Senior Bhalla's face. But, Romi earned a pinch from Ishita while Toshiji glared at the elder man.
Next was his father, "Oye Raman, I'll set you with Pammi, achchha hai na, now come out", he said proudly and earned another glare from Toshiji.
So, the little Ruhi chirped, "Papa, you come out or else I'll tell IshiMaa that you skipped brushing teeth most of the nights!"
"Ayyo, Roo, Really?" Ishita face palmed and scrunched her nose when she saw the door creek open.
A Day Later
He fumed in anger and made faces when she fed him watery Khichdi, very watery at that.
"Finish this like a good boy and I've a surprise for you", she smiled widely.
He showed him his tongue and said, " Daant toh ukhaar liya ab kya surprise dogi?"
"I will pull out your tongue also if you take anymore footage", she attacked him.
When his meal was finished, she gathered whole of the family in front of the TV Set and announced they were about to witness the most costly video of this millennium. And what played there shocked the soul out of him and left the whole family in stitches.
The video of the dental surgery of the great RKB by Mrs RKB filled with his sobs, cries, pleas and much more.
As you know I am new to writing, and this is my first time with the fun genre and not written seriously. My motto behind this is enjoyment. I enjoyed it while penning down and I hope you will too while reading.đ
