They came out of the hug and composed themselves. Ishita - "If you're so romantic even before the marriage, how will you be after marriage? How am I going to control u?"
Raman - "By giving urself to me! It's very simple to control me like that! Isn't it?"
She didn't know what to answer... She lowered her head in shyness and looked at the floor. Raman came closer and wounded his arms around her waist careful enough to not spoil her mehendi.
Raman - "If you're so shy before marriage, how will be after marriage? U should learn to be bold. Do u want me to teach you?" he said smirking.
Ishita - "Raman... Stop it... Come let's go outside. Everyone would be looking for us. I don't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone."
Raman - "Why will you be embarrassed? Ur just spending time with ur would-be! What's wrong in that?"
Ishita - "Shut up, Raman! Now let's go out..."
Saying that she went out leaving a blushing Raman behind.

Mihir - "So Bhai how was the kiss?" he teased Raman.
Raman (shocked) - "How did you know that we kissed!??"
Romi (giggling) - " Mihir, I think Ishita Bhabhi did a mistake by wearing a pink lipstick... She should have worn something light coloured!"
Raman realised what Mihir and Romi was trying to say and he immediately touched his lips. It was all pink! He was so embarrassed and without wasting a moment he wiped his lips thoroughly while Mihir and Romi burst out laughing.

Mihika - "So Akka, how was the kiss?" she teased Ishita.
Ishita (shocked) - "How did u know that we kissed?"
Mihika (giggling) - "I saw ur lipstick on Raman Jiju's lips... And ur lips are swollen! Did any ant bite ur lips?"
Ishita turned crimson red hearing what Mihika said and touched her lips. They were really swollen! She glared at Mihika while Mihika burst out laughing.

After the Mehendi ceremony, Sangeet took place...
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! I, Mr Mihir Arora, and my friend, Ms Mihika Iyer, will the hosts for today's sangeet function."
Applause was heard all over the Iyer House. Raman and Ishita were sitting together hand in hand, watching Mihir and Mihika. Raman came closer to Ishita and whispered in her ears...
"I heard that a girl has to write her husband's name in her hands on her mehendi and I am supposed to find it on the first night of our marriage... But I don't think I can wait that long... So darling can you show me ur mehendi?" he said smirking.
"Sorry Mr Bhalla... You still have to wait for 2 nights... Then only I will show!" she said winking.
"Mrs Bhalla, I think you should know by now that ur husband is very stubborn..."
"Of course, Mr Bhalla, I know that ur stubborn. If ur stubborn then, ur better half, will be more stubborn than you na?"
"OK Jhansi Ki Rani, I can't fight with you anymore. Let's see for how long you will hide that mehendi from me..." before he could finish, Mihir and Mihika invited IshRa on the stage for a dance.
Ishita - "No way, I am not dancing..."
Raman - "Oh come on, Ishita! Even I want see how my well my would-be can dance!" he said winking at her.
Ishita - "Don't worry! My steps will always match urs. Not only in dance, even in our lives..." They smiled at each other as he forwarded his hand to her. She put her hand on his, agreeing to dance with him. IshRa walked to the stage hand in hand. Everyone clapped for them.

{Mmm...}
The song started to play... Raman put his hand on her bare waist which sent chills down her spine. Ishita put her hand on his shoulder. The other hand of theirs locked with each other as they swayed according to the music...
{Bin puchhe mera naam aur pataa
Rasmon ko rakh ke pare
Chaar kadam bas chaar kadam
Chal do naa saath mere (x2)}
{Bin kuch kahe, bin kuch sune
Haathon mein haath liye
Chaar kadam bas char kadam
Chal do na saath mere}
Raman pulled Ishita more closer to him. She rested her head on his chest as they again swayed to the music.
{Hey.. bin kuch kahe, bin kuch sune
Haathon mein haath liye
Chaar kadam bas chaar kadam
Chal do na saath mere}
{Raahon mein tumko jo dhoop sataye
Chaaon bicha denge hum
Andhere daraye to jaa kar falak pe
Chand sajaa denge hum
Chhaye udaasi latife suna kar
Tujhko hansa denge hum}
Raman twirled Ishita around as she gave him a wide smile. They were lost in their own world!
{Hanste hansaate yunhi gungunaate
Chal denge chaar kadam
Yea yeah.. na na nana...
La ra la.. ra.}
{Tumsa mile jo koi rehguzar
Duniya se kaun darey
Chaar kadam kya saari umar
Chal dungi saath tere}
{Bin kuch kahe, bin kuch sune
Haathon mein haath liye
Char kadam bas char kadam
Chal do na saath mere (x2)}
As the song finished, they came closer and closer... Their lips were inches apart but their trance was broken by the applause given by everyone in the house. Although they couldn't kiss, they hugged each other tightly as there was no tomorrow!
