IshRa SS- Forever and ever after_A NOTE (Pg 72)-The End (Incomplete) - Page 48

Chapter 3C

Mrs Iyer was feeling extra generous today so she agreed readily..." Thik hain Santoshi, but agar hum shaadi kara rahe hain..to full rituals se karenge...then your ghar ki baahu needs to stay at her maika before her vidaai naaen..."

[Mrs Iyer was feeling extra generous today so she agreed readily..." Alright Santoshi, but if we are doing this marriage again then it needs to be done with complete rituals ...then your Daughter in law needs to stay at her Mother's place before her entrance as your daughter in law again"]

During the discussion Raman was sneakily holding Ishita's hand trying hard to look at her to gauge her reaction to the renewal of vows... She was busy blushing and not looking up...Inspite of the absurdity of Ruhi's suggestion, he felt it to be perfect, because it will help them take the vows this time only for Ek duje ke liye' [For each other]...but that was before he heard amma...He has to stay apart from his biwi till their marriage!!

NO!

Raman shouted resulting in everyone staring at him open mouthed!

I mean, Ishita can't stay at Amma's place! Mera kya hoga? I mean woh woh Adi-Ruhi ka kya hoga! Adi abhi yaha aaya hain...aur main manage kese karunga akele... ?

[I mean, Ishita can't stay at Amma's place! How will I survive! I mean Adi-Ruhi wont be able to manage! Adi needs time to settle down...How will I manage everything... ?]

"Oye Khote..Mainu sab samajh rahi hu tera Adi-Ruhi ke liye chinta... Oye teen chaar din ki to baat hain... rehe nahi payega kyaa apne biwi ke bina! Saath saath ek room main reheke shaadi ka anjoymant nahi ayegi..."

["Oye Khote..I understand everything how much you are worried about Adi-Ruhi!... Oye it's a amatter of only three four days... wont you be able to stay without your wife! What is the point of Marriage if you are staying in the same room..."]

Raman went berserk trying to save the sinking boat ..."Aare yaar aap log mere saage ho yaa dushman... hamesha meri band hi bajate rehete ho... ..tum kyun nahi kuch bol rahi ho madrasan..."

[..."Aare yaar you all are my enemies... you always spoil my plans... ..why are you mum Madrasan...say something..."]

Ishita was at a loss of words too... She was genuinely happy that they are about to renew their vows...but staying away from him, that would be sheer torture. She knew Raman also felt the same way but she could not be vocal about it like he was...

"Raman, main kya bolu... Mummyji sahi to kehe rahi hain... main paas wale ghar main hi to jaa rahi hu naa... Adi Ruhi aur baki sab se bhi roz hi milna hoga..."

[Raman what can I say? Mummyji is right you know... And I will be just next door... I will be meeting Adi Ruhi and the others too..]

"Dekha meri bahu kitni samajhdar hain... balle balle.. simmi jaldi tu pandit ji ko phone laga... haaye... kitne din ki armaan ki raman ki shaadi dheku..."

[See, my daughter in law is so smart... Balle Balle...Simmi, go and call the priest, Oh finally my wish of seeing Raman getting married]

"Matbal I mean to shay... aapne tarike se shaadi dekhu.. aur is bar bottle daru whiskey te koi rok tok nahi...samjhi tu samdhan..."

[I mean to say, in Punjabi style...and this time we can have the whiskey beer rum without any tension]

Ruhi hugged Ishita and said.. " Ishima, main aapke saath so jau.. main ladki ki taraf se hongi...aur Adi bhaiya papa ke taraf se...what do you say Papa?"

[IShima, can I stay with you? I will be from the girl's side this time.. and Adi bhaiya will be from Dad's side...What do you say papa?]

"Haa Beta.. I am sure your Ishima will have no problem with taking you along with her. Unko pucho woh shayad ananya, simmi bua, Rinkie Bua, Romi chachu, Neelu sabko le jaae..Unko problem to sirf mujhse hain"

[Yes Beta...I am sure your Mom doesn't have any problem in taking you along! Ask her, she might be willing to take Ananya, Simmi Aunt, Rinki Aunt and Romi Uncle , even Neelu as well...She has problem only with me...]

Raman, Kuch bhi ese kyun bol rahe ho...

[Raman, Don't say like this please...]

Oh...Madam jawaab bhi deti hain...? Aare waah... to do minute pehele kya saap sungh gaya tha... mummyji sahi kehe rahi hain...

[Oh..Madam can speak as well.. Very good...I was wondering what happened to her two minutes back when she was supposed to speak up..]

Ishita was about to say something, when Mihika rushed inside...

Akka...renewal of vows...wow, I am so excited..

hum log khub se shopping karenge...aur bahut masti karenge.. Aap mere kamre main soyenge...we will have all girls late night parties. We will have a blast... simmi di..aap bhi ajiye ga ... aaah...I cant wait for fun to begin... Yaaay...

[we will do loads of shopping! We will have too much fun...We will sleep in our room okay? we will have all girls late night parties. We will have a blast... simmi di..you must join as well... aaah...I cant wait for fun to begin... Yaaay...]

This chatterbox mihika seemed to anger Raman further..

He muttered.. "Yaha mera dil thod ke madam ko dekho late night party main silk smitha banni hain...agar woh party karegi to main bhi boy's night out karunga..."

[Look at her..she broke my heart and after that she is planning late night parties like silk smitha... if she plans to have all girls party, I will have a boys night out as well...]

Ishita was silent trying to comprehend Raman's mood and trying to stop Mihika so that she can have a talk before leaving for Iyer's..but today was not in her favour...Mihika was too excited to stop and she literally dragged her from there...

"Sorry Jeeju, aap ke saath to hamesha hi reheti hain..main abhi Akka ko leke jaati hu...bahut saari plannings karni hain...Vandu Akka bhi aa rahi hain...Bye...Jyada miss nahi karna..."

[Sorry jeeju, She stays with you only all the time...Now I am taking her.. we need to do lots of planning...Vandu Akka is also coming...Bye...Don't miss too much]

" Haa.. leke jao atleast 4 din to main shanty se jeelu... insaan pagal ho jaata hain to ek insaan se do baar shaadi karta hain... aab to established ho gaya hain ki main bhi un pagalon se hi ek hu..."

[Yes please, Take her with you... atleast I will be in peace for 4 days...a mad man can only dare to get married to the same person 2 times.. It is now established I fall in that category...]

"Kya Jeeju... Aap bhi na...Bye..."

[What jeeju...things you say...Chalo Bye..]

Raman was furious! Ishita didn't even say anything!! Chal beta Raman... Tera yaha koi kam nahi... faltoo main room book karke chala aaya... biwi ko hi koi farak nahi parta...

[Raman was furious! Ishita didn't even say anything!! Beta Raman... You don't have any value left... it was futile to book a room for us... your wife only doesn't care for you... ]

Meanwhile ishita was heart broken... she could even say bye to him properly... and she could very well understand his state...which was mirror image of hers... But what she could have done... Raman bhi na... itna gussa karte hain [gets angry so fast..]...I need to go and talk to him...

The moment she came out of the house, she saw Raman zooming out in his car...

Lagta hain bahut gussa hain... kuch karna parega unko manane ke liye...kya karu...kya karu...

[Seems he is very angry...I need to do something to pacify him...what should I do..Think think...]

Roothe roothe Piya

Manau kaise

Roothe Roothe piya...

Aaj na jaane, baat huyi kya kyun ruthe hum se...

[My beloved is angry...

How to pacify him

My beloved is angry..

What happened today, that he is so angry...]

Raman returned late night when everybody was asleep, muttering to himself...

'yeh aurat ko dekho... main yaha hamare hote hote na hua honeymoon suite ki charges settle karke aa raha hu..aur isse dekho... ghode bhejke so rahi hogi...Isse kehete hain..khaya piya kuch nahi..glass thoda bara anaa..'

[Look at this woman!! I am returning after cancelling the honeymoon suite... and look at this woman.. she is peacefully sleeping... ]

He was busy cursing his wife, when he stumbled on a small box kept right at their entrance. He was about to toss it in anger when he noticed his name on the box.

Mere pyaare se bhole se Ravaan Kumar... please open the box.....[My sweet, innocent Ravaan Kumar...please open the box]

He faked anger, lest his biwi is sneakily watching his expressions... but curiosity got better of him and he opened the box, only to find another note...

yeh lecture queen, kya lecture likh likh ke torture karne ka plan banaya hain...' [This lecture queen...has she planned to torture me with writing lectures...]

Inside the note...

Haw...apne mujhe lecture queen bulaya!! Main lecture nahi likha...agar aapka gussa thanda ho gaya ho to thoda romance kar le....[haw, you called me lecture queen...? I did not write any lecture...if you are done being angry, can we start romancing?]

Chitti o mai romance karu kya aab main? [Should we do romance through letter now?]

Aab ho baare impatient.. puri letter parke to apne one liners bolte... [you are very impatient...first read the whole letter and then mutter your one liners...]

Jao..nahi bolti aur... yaad se thanda pani nikal lena refrigator se....[Leave it...I will not say anything else... do remember to take out the cold water from refiragator..]

Bas...? That's it? Ho gaya iska manana!! Hain mata rani..kis unromantic aurat se pyar karwa diya... chal beta... cold water is your sathi...[That's it? This is how she thought of pacifying me? Oh Mata rani... my wife is so unromantic.. lets go raman,...cold water is your best friend...]

Raman went ahead to open the refrigator door when he saw a note sticking to one of the bottles... He couldn't control his heart flutter... He knew it...there was more to come... Haa right Raman, isiliye tu usse gaali de raha tha...[yeah right raman, you knew!!!..that is why you were cursing her for the small note...]

Mere Buddhu Kumar... aapko kya laga woh last note tha? Nahi..yeh wala last hain... akhir aur kinta lecture se bore karungi aapko...[My stupid kumar... what did you think? That was the last note... No...this is the last one.. I don't want to bore you with my lectures...]

Nahi, main bore hona chahata hu...Madsaran..yaar why are you not here! I Miss you so much! Aur abhi ek din bhi nahi hua...

[No, I want to be bored... Madrasan, why aren't you here!I miss you so much...its not even one day that you have left..]

I miss you too! I love you so much. Aap ki tarha main bhi sad hu ki hum alag hain...but jo positive baatein hain..woh to socho...[I miss you too...I love you so much... Like you, I am sad too... but think about the positives...]

Aab alag rehene main konsi positive angle hain? [What is positive in staying separate...?]

Kya positive hain...woh agle note main... but guess karo woh note hain kaha.. lets see..how much we know each other...game on Mr bhalla...Sahi jawaab main ek prize milegi....[ What positive is there? That you will only know after you guess where the next note is hidden...lets see..how much we know each other.. game on Mr. Bhalla.. If you find it...you will get a reward...]

Raman started raking his mind where his madrasan can put the next note... He was enjoying this game of hers... and he couldn't wait for the reward at the end...,..Whatever she has planned and whatever he plans to take...

He suddenly remembered about their Post-its and was pretty sure it was where the next note would be..

He hurriedly ran to their room and opened the door to find it dimly lit with candles and decorated with flowers...

Raat Akeli Hain...

Bujh gaaye diye...

Aake mere paas

Kaano main mere

Jo Bhi Chaahe kahiye, jo bhi chahe kijiye...

[The night is alone...

Lights have dimmed

Come near me..

Close to my ears...

Say anything you want...do whatever you want...]

Ishita sneaked near her husband..when he was busy admiring the setting and the song in the background and tied his eyes with a dupatta...

Madrasan, maarne ka irada hain kya? [Madrasan...do u want to kill me?]

Soch to esi hi kuch rahi hu...kyun aap nahi chahate? [I am thinking on that line only...you don't want me to?]

Kya? Marna..? [What? To die?]

Raman!!

Jhaasi ki raani pehle yeh patti to khol, fir dhikata hu ki kaun kya karta hain...aur kya kya hota hain...

[Queen of Jhaasi...first open my eye fold... and then I will show you who does what...]

I am sorry Raman...I know, you are upset with me for not supporting our cause... but main kya karti [what can I do?..]

With a deep sigh, he cut her mid way... Ishita, please yaar..sorry na bol... Main bhi thoda zyada hi gussa ho gaya tha... abhi to humne ek dusre se aapne dil ki baat share ki,,,aur aabhi...

[ishita, Please...don't say sorry...I know I lost a fuse there... Its just that...we have shared our feelings with each other after so long..and yet again...]

But Raman... yu chup chup ke milne ka maza bhi to hain na...aur itne din jab intezaar kar hi liya hain..aur 4 din aur saahi...Main aapse saare rasmo riwaz ke saath shaadi karna chahati hu...

[But Raman, we can have fun meeting sneakily as well too... and when we have waited for this long...4 days is not long enough...I want to get married to you with full rituals...]

I understand! Aab madam, aap hain patti kholenge... I want to see you, I want to touch you...I want to see you blush when I touch you...Ishita

[I understand! But madam, can you please open the fold now.. I want to see you, I want to touch you... I want to see you blush when I touch you...Ishita]

Nahi! [NO!]

Nahi? Nahi patti nahi kholegi? Yaa nahi touch nahi karne degi...[No? No you wont let me open my eye-fold..or No you wont let me touch you...]

She giggled saying...Kya Raman aap bhi.. I want you to touch me too...[Ofcourse not Raman...I want you to touch me too...]

Both their breathing hitched, with a clear change in atmosphere...

Ishita, please ...

But main pehele kuch karna chahati hu...jo main patti kholne ke baad shayad na kar pau... so please bear with me...

[But I want to do something and for that I need you to continue wearing that eye-fold.. otherwise I wont be able to do anything...so please bear with me..]

Saying that she neared him...He was too excited and wondered what could possibly make his biwi so shy, that she wants him not to see...

She kissed his right cheek and then left...Mujhe yaad hain ki mera punishment aabhi baaki hain..aur main usse fulfill kiya bina so nahi paati [I do remember that my punishment is pending...and I couldn't sleep without fulfilling it]...I am sorry for slapping you..and with that she proceeded to hug him and kiss his earlobe...

Madrasan...you are driving me crazy...please let me open the eye-fold

Nahi Raman..please patti mat kholna...

[No Raman...don't open the eyefold..]

Acha ek game khel te hain [ lets play a game...]... you stand far from me. I will try to touch you...the part I touch you will let me kiss that!

Ese kese... nahi nahi... this is not fair...

[No no Raman... This is not fair]

Come on madrasan...don't be a spoil sport now...

PS: I have given a a precap kinda in the first two stanza...because if i myself reqd that precap, i am guessing you will need tht too...

PPS: No PPS this time...

PPPS: Aiyo, i forgot...the blue part is Ishita's note...

Cheers

Shalini❤️
