Again you got busy na poor we :(. Come back with back to back updates like before. Will be waiting waiting waiting!!!

Thank you for the pms and the comments. I will try and put all your demands into consideration without trying to change the story or plot too much. I started writing this story knowing from the start it would be a little dark so it will take a while to change that and i also know for some of you it is uncomfortable with the coupling as it is at the moment but i please ask for a little patience and allow the story unfold a little. As you all you have read my stories know, i am a sucker for happy endings too...😉 Okay here we go

Chapter Forty Nine

'Smell nice... Not like that old geezer back in Goa, he always smelt like alcohol and cigarettes... Yuck... This is why I like you better. You are scary sometimes, grumpy sometimes, mean at times but you always smell nice'' She said as she leaned forward looking straight at him and Raman at a loss of words just stood still

'Your lips are... They are so plump... Like sausages...'' She said

'What...'' he said but she just lifted her hand slightly brushing her fingers on them

'I wonder how that would feel...'' She said but Raman could not help but smile

'How what should feel...'' Said Raman

'That... ' She said brushing her fingers on his lips again before she went back to her hair band again

'Cute... She is really cute'' He found himself saying

'Hmm...'' She turned looking at him

'Nothing... Shall we go home'' He said

'Yaayyy...'' She said

'Ahh wait... You said alcohol is bad for you specifically... Why...'' He asked

'My heart and my meds, the heart doctor said no mix... Also the head doctor but I never listen to the head doctor... he is way too ' She said but suddenly kept quiet leaned back and closed her eyes

'He is what... ' Said Raman looking at her

'Hey... Ishita... Ishita ...'' He said calling her

'Are you asleep... Seriously ...'' He said as he tried to shake her but she was out like a light

'Unbelievable...'' he said as he leaned back putting his seat belt on and turning the ignition

***************

Ishita lifted her head and it felt like she was carrying concrete. The hangover was killing her not to mention she was feeling like crap and very loopy. She sat on the bed looking around rubbing her eyes only to notice she was not home. It took a minute for her to register the fact that she was in a completely new environment.

She had no recollection of how she got their or why she was there in the fast place and she began fearing what the hell she might have done the night before. All she remembered was being at the counter with Rinky and Mihir from then on everything else became a bit blurry. There were fuzzy images that popped in her head and all she seemed to remember was her lips landing on Mihir

'No... No... No... Please No...'' She found herself saying as she knelt on the bed her hand on her lips

'No way... There is a perfectly logical explanation to this... Right... ' She said tilting her head as if she could remember better

'What the hell Ishu...'' She added before she heard someone in the bathroom

Her heart sank to her chest worried that she may have crossed a line. She began looking around realizing her clothes were neatly folded on the sofa across from the bed and when she looked down all she had on was her underwear and a man's shirt

'Oh shit... Oh shit...What the hell is going on...'' She said and when she heard the bathroom door she sat back down grabbing the duvet and covering her self

'Oh you're up...'' He said and when she lifted her eyes there he was

'Raman...'' She said completely shocked and Raman stood still looking at her, frowning a bit completely surprised at the fact that she had just said his name out loud

'Are you still drunk?'' He said

'Huh...'' She said

'Nothing...'' He said walking to the bed

'Am not hallucinating then... I mean this is completely...'' She said looking up at him, then down again

'I seriously should listen and do what I am told... Ohh... ' She added

'Okay I cannot make sense of what you're saying'' Said Raman and she looked up at him

'Your really here... Right ...'' She said as she suddenly came out extending to where he was seated and began poking him with her index finger

'What are you doing?'' Said Raman

'Oh God it is you... Thank God... 'She said as she suddenly went to him and threw her hands around him

He just stayed still taken back not moving because he did not know what to do in this situation. The person he was seeing there was surely not the Ishita he knew and there was a good possibility that she may have been still drunk

'Uhh...Ishita... Are you okay'' He asked and Ishita realizing what she was doing slowly sat back looking down

'Sorry Sir...'' She said

'Ahh... Your back then...'' He said but she just kept quiet

'I was beginning to wonder if you were going to stay in bed all day...'' He added

'I am so sorry Sir... I did not mean for this to happen... I swear I never drink like that'' She said

'Why did you drink? Like that ... Did something happen'' He said knowing what it was but he wanted to hear it from her

'Nothing important Sir...'' She said

'It was important enough for you to get drunk alone with another man...'' He said provoking her

'I am so, so sorry Sir...'' Said Ishita her voice shaking

'Why are you suddenly scared'' Said Raman

'I think I did something bad yesterday... I swear I never meant any of it'' She said as her voice began to quiver

Raman sat back and looked at her folding his arms across his chest realizing that she was talking about the night before

'What happened...'' He asked

'Am not sure Sir... But I thi... I think...'' She said stammering

'Think what'' He asked again

'I think I kissed another man... the janitor...'' She said looking up at him

'I am so sorry Sir'' She added her eyes teary

'You think or you actually did ' He said

'Am not sure... I don't remember it all very well...'' She said and he looked at her for a second or two before he said

'Get up... you need something to eat...'' Said Raman standing up

'Wha...'' She said

'Food... Up... Come on'' He said turning and looking at her

'I am not hungry'' She said

'Yeah you are... It's 2pm... You slept like your hibernating and not to mention you are hangover...'' He said

'Its 2pm...'' She said shocked as she turned looking at the clock

'Oh God... Your mother is going to'' She began to panic

'Calm down... Everything is fine... You needed time off, I granted it. Neelu took care of Aditya so he is fine and your boss who by the way is me granted you two days off'' He said

'But...'' She began

'And by the way I thought I told you my mother has no say in our marriage...'' He said cutting her off and she sat down looking at him

'What... Why are you looking at me like that'' He added

'You said our marriage...'' She said

'What...'' He said

'You said...'' She began but he cut her off

'I know what I said but why is it such a surprise to you. Isn't it our marriage...'' He said

'Well... it... it just that I ...Well... Shagun ...'' She said

'Shagun is what'' He said frowning a bit

'Engaged...'' She said almost as if whispering but he heard her

'Wouldn't that kind of be illegal if I married another woman while I am married to you? Also I am pretty sure that falls in that category of things that are none of your business'' He said

'It is but I would just request you to please hold off for just 9 months... Please...'' She said

'Why 9 months'' Said Raman

'Because I am planning to be out of your hair for good I just need 9 more month for that to happened'' She said

'Where are you going in 9 months'' He asked

'Away...'' She said

'To Goa...'' He asked

'No further than that but you do not need to worry yourself with that'' She said

'And we are back to you being vague... ' He said turning as he pulled the food trolley to where she was

**************

Back at the hotel, Mihir was a bit restless as he was worried about what would have happened to her given the mood Raman was in when they left. He had called Romi to try and find out from him what had happened and if Ishita was coming into work but Romi completely shut him out asking him to back off.

Even though he had done nothing wrong, he was feeling guilty for what he was feeling. Forget about it not being fair to Raman, it was not right at all because even with the circumstances, Ishita was still Raman's wife.

'Ahh Rinky... Rinky wait ...'' He said

'What...'' She said turning to him

'Have you seen Ishita...'' He asked

'No...'' Said Rinky

'It is not like her to miss work... Did something happen to her'' Said Mihir

'Doubt it... I heard the manager talking to her husband, I think she was given the day off or maybe three I do not remember'' Said Rinky clearly trying to make a point

'Raman cannot just yank her out of here without my permission'' Said Mihir

'Uhhh... Yeah he can, Raman can do anything Raman wants when it comes to Ishita. You know why? They are the married couple here not to mention, he owns this damn place'' Said Rinky

'I did not mean'' Said Mihir but Rinky cut him ff

'Oh I know what you meant alright except if I was you I would worry more on how I should continue scheming behind my brother's back than taking his wife because that would work out better than the latter'' She said

'Excuse me...'' He said

'Whatever... Ishita is with Raman and before you go off running to your house trying to find them, he did not take her home. He knew she would get into trouble with your abusive mother so he took her to a hotel. He told me this morning when I called Ishita and he said I need not worry that she was fine and resting and just needed a few days off'' Said Rinky before she turned and walked away

'Yah... Come back am not done talking'' Said Mihir but it fell on deaf ears

'You better turn around and listen to me or I am firing your ass...'' He added and she stood still

'You are not as protected as Ishita so do not go around thinking your all that'' He said

*************************************

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT

Chapter Fifty

'So are you stopping me as my boss or a jealous man with a crush'' Said Rinky

'What does it matter'' Said Mihir

'If it is as my boss then I am all ears Sir. If not you can kiss my beautiful ass'' Said Rinky looking straight at him

'So which is it'' She added

'Mihir...'' Said Romi who had heard enough to know Rinky was running a tight rope

'Yeah... Hey...'' He sad turning to his brother

'I was having a late lunch with clients and I figured I pop in and say hey. Is everything okay'' Said Romi

'Yeah... Everything is okay...'' Said Mihir turning to Rinky

'You can leave'' he added and she turned around and walked away

'Is everything okay'' Asked Romi

'Yeah... Just ... Yeah ...'' Said Mihir turning and walking to where Romi was

'I am not staying long, I just came to check on you'' Said Romi

'You... Just stopped by... To check on me'' Said Mihir looking at him and scoffing before he said

'Who are you kidding''

'I can't come and check on my brother'' Said Romi amused

'Sure...Okay... Thank you for checking up on me'' Said Mihir sarcastically

'Fine... Raman wanted me to see if you are okay'' Said Romi

'Why isn't he here himself...'' Said Mihir

'He is a bit... Occupied right now'' Said Romi

'Doing what... It's a weekend'' Said Mihir

'Well... You know Raman... Workaholic'' Said Romi

'So wait... You telling me he just left mom with his wife for an entire weekend'' Said Mihir

'Uhh... Not exactly ...'' Said Romi

'Not exactly... What is that? What does that mean?'' Asked Mihir

'He did not exactly bring her home last night...'' Said Romi

'Took her to a hotel'' Said Mihir

'Nah... Not a hotel, somewhere a bit more private than that'' Said Romi

'Huh...'' Said Mihir

'Why are you asking too many questions anyway? And what is it to you what he does and doesn't do with his wife?'' Said Romi

'Chill out I was only asking because as you know mom can be a little unwelcoming when she puts her mind to it'' Said Mihir

'Yeah right... Like that is the only reason your asking'' Said Romi shaking his head

What... Why do you all treat me like I am some sort of playboy'' Said Mihir

'Playboy nah... but you become a crazy person once you see a woman you like and you fall in love way too easily not to mention she is '' Said Romi but Mihir cut him off

'I know... I know she is Raman's wife''

'Okay then... That seems to me like you still have your senses and I will badger you like you're a hormonal teenager...'' Said Romi

'So that is why you came. He asked you to come and warn me'' Said Mihir

'Actually no, he said you had way too much to drink and wanted to check on you. Raman treats you like your 12 or something. The Ishita thing was all me.'' Said Romi

'He is weird. Shouldn't he be mad at me like crazy right now'' Said Mihir

'I don't know. He would not give me details. I assume something did happen last night then'' Said Romi

'Nothing happened, it is all a misunderstanding. God I wish she is okay'' Said Mihir

'Oh trust me when I tell you, she is more than okay'' Said Romi

'Really... You did not see her last night and you definitely did not see Raman last night. Plus she is so nave and silly that she will probably also misunderstand what happened last night'' Said Mihir and Romi looked at him for a second or two before he said

'Okay let me ask you this, when was the last time you saw Raman invested in a woman like that that he would leave home to come and pick her up coz she is drunk let alone care who she is with or what she is doing not to mention, taking her away from home... You and I both know has absolutely nothing to do with mom. FYI he took her to the RK Mansion...''

'Wait... What...'' Said Mihir shocked

'Yeah... He took her to his place... Shagun has known him for almost a decade and a half but she has never been. Mom doesn't even know it exists.'' Said Romi

'Why did he take her there'' Said Mihir

'Well... You are much closer to Raman than I am. Why do you think?'' Said Romi

'No way...He... I don't believe you'' Said Mihir

'Whatever makes you feel better. I would however advise you to lose the notion that he doesn't care about her. That may have been the case when she first popped up but it isn't the case now. I have no idea what happened but ever since they started sharing a room he almost as if sees her differently. Things happen between married couples when they are behind closed doors that never comes out in the light of day'' Said Romi

'What do you mean share a room? I thought she uses the guest room.'' Said Mihir

'Oh no... Raman and Ishita both sleep in the master bedroom...'' Said Romi looking at his phone

'I am really sorry I got to go. I will see you later and keep away from the booze and things that aren't yours'' He added and he walked away picking his call leaving Mihir just standing there all puzzled

******************

Ishita was seated at the edge of the bed the food trolley in front of her still in his shirt and she was trying to eat but it was the most uncomfortable thing. He just sat there not eating with her and just kept on staring at her. She had had enough to be honest but she just found herself eating and eating because she did not know what else to do.

'Is the food that nice that you can't talk'' Raman said looking at her

'Hhmm... Thanks for the meal...'' She said and Raman chuckled taking the spoon and fork from her hand

'You're going to get indigestion if you continue eating like that'' he said pushing the food trolley away from her and handing her a napkin

'Thank you Sir...'' She said

'So it is Sir now not R.K anymore. I kind of liked the R.K one. You should call me that from now on'' Said Raman but she just kept quiet and sat back pulling the shirt down

'Be comfortable... I am not going to do anything to you. The reason you're wearing that is because you threw up all over your clothes and so I had to take them off wash you up. I took them to the dry cleaners they just brought them back... But you are not wearing them. I have something else in mind because you and I are going somewhere tonight'' He said and she just looked at him blankly

'I swear I won't do anything you do not want me to do. If I did nothing last night given the night it was, I surely can't do anything now'' He added and she calmed down

'Okay now that that is sorted. Mind telling me what happened last night'' He said

'Uhh... I ...'' She started to stammer her throat suddenly becoming dry

'Why did you drink so much...'' He asked

'I swear I did not mean to do that...'' She said

'Then why did you'' He asked

She just needed a night off, sometime where she does not have to feel like some other person is living her life for her, some space where she does not have to worry about anything or anyone. She is human too, she gets tired too, just that the people around her never seemed to realize that. But there was no way she was telling him that.

'Everyone was doing it so I figured...'' She said

What are you ten...'' Said Raman

'Am sorry...'' She said

'Stop apologizing...'' He said and she kept quiet

'And stop lying...'' He added

'Am not...'' She said

'You are very talkative when you get drunk do you know that...'' He said

'Did I say something inappropriate...'' Said Ishita

'Say... Do... I mean you name it...'' Said Raman as he sat back

'Oh My God...'' Said Ishita suddenly worried causing Raman to smirk a bit

'Why are you all tense suddenly'' He said

'Did I do anything inappropriate Sir...'' She asked

'You wanted to but I couldn't let you... That would have made me the bad guy in that scenario and I had no intension of being one...'' He said

'Oh God... It is the stupid as drugs I should just... oh my God'' Said Ishita

'What drugs by the way...'' He asked

'Nothing Sir...'' She said

'Oh no...no...no today you do not get to tell me nothing ... Nah ... I won't accept it what drugs...'' He asked

'They are antidepressants...'' She said

'Why do you take them...'' Said Raman

'I have a lot of anxiety and I get panic attacks so to keep myself calm I take those and a bunch of others I can't pronounce...'' Said Ishita

'Panic attacks...'' He said

'Yeah panic attacks... those drugs keep me sane...'' Said Ishita

'How often do you take them...'' he asked

'A couple of pills a day... Why...'' She said

'Do you need some today? We can go get some since we never when home I assume you do not have them here...'' He said worried causing her to smile abruptly

'It is okay... I never seem to need them when am around you...'' She said and as soon as the words came out of her mouth she realized what she had just said

'Not what I mean... I am saying that you do not give me anxiety...'' And Raman looked at her and smiled as well

'I mean not that...'' She began but he cut her off

'I get what you mean'' He said helping her out and she calmed down

'How long have you been taking them...'' He asked

'Uhhh... a couple of years I guess...'' She said

'Can't you stop taking them'' He asked

'Well I could but that would require relatively stress free environment, exercise, caffeine management, balanced diets, Uhh relaxation techniques, stuff like that. I tried but it only got worse...'' Said Ishita

'Why...'' He asked

'I have never been in an environment that permits that, plus because I normally buy off the counter drugs, I have never really treated why psychological issues. Uncle says it is just a waste of money. He tried to take me to an asylum once because of it.'' She said and Raman looked at her feeling sorry for her

'What happens if I give you that environment can you try and get off the meds...'' He said

'That won't be necessary... Besides I am not going to be around long so do not worry I can handle it. But thank you for your concern'' She said smiling but her eyes were sad

'Why... Where are you going'' He asked and she looked at him

'Just... Besides you hate being married to me shouldn't you be elated that I won't be around long...'' She said

'Well...'' He said but she cut him off

'Ahh your inheritance... I can assure you I am leaving t h a Bhalla Mansion the way I came. I won't take anything that isn't mine. I promise you... In fact I swear on Aditya's life...'' She said

'Am not worried about that...'' He said before he turned as he heard the doorbell ring causing him to get up

'And you are wrong...'' He added

'About what...'' She asked

'I do not hate it...'' He said

'Uhh...'' She said

'Marrying you... I never said I hated it...'' He said before he turned and walked to the door leaving a shell shocked Ishita

TEASER

'As you are all aware Raman is my eldest son and I love him dearly... I am so proud of what he has managed to accomplish and what he will accomplish. I am so happy that... You know come on up here...'' Said Santosh and Raman with a smile on his face walked up to where his mother was to all the flattering applause he was getting

'The reason you are all here is, well we would like for you to share this incredible moment with our family as...'' Santosh said but Raman cut him off

'Mom... Let me do the honors...'' He said

'Sure... Of course you would want to do that...'' Said Santosh and without a suspicion she walked away allowing her son the stage

'To be fair I never had an idea to do what I am about to tell you that I did...'' He chuckled and so did the room

'But... Sometimes you just met someone so far from what you expect and so out there different from ordinary that they just sort of mess your life up in the most unexpected way, and you should hate it but the you don't. Suddenly what seems like something that should have no business being, is the one thing you can't live without'' He added

'Speak sense...'' Shouted Romi and the guests laughed

'Okay... Am Sorry...'' Said Raman Chuckling as he put his glass down

'Uhh... Ladies and gentlemen... Please allow me introduce to you the woman I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with...'' He said as he held out his hand

Shagun looked at him and smiled getting teary not believing she was finally getting what she wanted. She was elated that he was finally willing to let them get back to how it was and she would finally get to be Mrs. Bhalla. She took a step forward with the expectation until

'Ladies and Gentlemen, the beautiful... Ishita Kumar Bhalla... The Love of my Life ...''

And the absent minded Ishita who was holding a tray full of glasses that Santosh had handed her turned around not believing what she had heard and he, Raman was just standing there, smiling at her with his hand held out to her

'Come on...'' He said
