Ishita -ab main woh purani ishita nahi rahi who will bear every shit from u, so u better stay away from me. She said pointing her finger on shagun and walked away making Shagun shocked to hell.
Shagun fumed in anger hearing ishita and said -main usse chodungi nahi, I will not leave her. She said shouting when Raman came from behind and said -aur usse chot pahunchane ki sochna bhi nahi, warna main tumhe nahi chodunga. And don't even dare to bring her dad in all this or else, I have to bring ur dad in all this, but phir shayad unki naukari bhi chalo jaaye. He said and walked towards ishita, who was walking slowly in the corridor. He thought she will go to their class but to his surprise she walked to another side. There was storeroom that side and usually noone goes there.
Raman -ishita wahan kya karne jaa rahi hai. He thought and walked behind her, only to see her standing in a corner. He don't get what she is doing here and walked to her. He touched her from behind and she turned in a jerk feeling someone's presence around her.
Raman got shocked seeing her reaction and said -its me, Raman.
Ishita looked at him and next second she hugged him tight. He got startled of her action when she said -hold me tight,raman.
Raman felt her shivering badly , he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. He realised that she is shivering because of the reply she gave to Shagun as it is for the first time she replied to someone like this.
Raman caressed her back and said dropping a feathery kiss on her hair -its OK, Sab sahi hai. Nothing is wrong, u did the right thing.
Ishita hugged him more tightly and said -I am scared, what if she tries to hurt my appa.mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai.
Raman -aisa kuch nahi hoga, Main hone nahi dunga. U r my responsibility aur tumhe chot pahunchane se pehle har kisi ko mujhse ladhna hoga. He said making her look at him. He closed his eyes to assure her what she heard is right. She smiled and look down ,and realised their position. She was in his arms. She broke the hug and said -I am sorry.
Raman smiled and said -its OK, waise bhi bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai. Waise tune bahut achcha jawaab diya uss Shagun ko, maza aa gaya. Tu toh ekdum jhansi ki raani nikli. Sach bahut maza aaya.
Ishita looked at him and said -yahan mujhe pasine chut rahen hai aur aapko maza aa raha hai. U know I was shivering inside when I was telling those things to her.
Raman -but why, tune kaun si galti ki hai joh tu shiver kar rahi thi. Galat woh hai tune toh sirf uska jawaab diya hai.
Ishita -but still, achcha thank u for supporting me always and sorry for hugging u like this.
Raman -arey it's OK, I am ur friend, tu mujhe hug nahi karegi toh kisse karegi. Bas ek kaam kar, yeh baalon mein itna tel lagaana bandh kar de. It's smell is yuck. And why u apply so much oil at the first place. Aise chipku banke aana achcha lagta hai kya.
Ishita -tel lagane se baal strong hote hai.
Raman -but still, kabhi toh baalon ko akela chodna chahiye, taaki sabko pata chale that u have beautiful hairs, aur jab woh khule rahenge toh tu bhi toh aur beautiful lagegi.
Ishita -aur beautiful.
Raman -aur nahi toh kya, Ek minute, kya tujhe pata hi nahi ki tumhe beautiful hai.
Ishita-main beautiful, kis angle se.
Raman looked at her and said -har angle se, just look at u ishita, u r just so beautiful. Bas apni aankhon se yeh mota chasma hata de aur inn khoobsurat baalon ko tel aur hair pin se azaad kar de, trust me u don't need any makeup to look beautiful. Achchi achchi ladkiyan tere saamne paani bharegi.he said looking into her eyes while she was listening to him like he is talking about someone else.
Raman -sach, agar bharosha nahi toh try kar le. He said and then looked at the watch.
Raman -but abhi chal warna yeh class bhi chut jayegi. He said and hold her hand and took her to their classroom while ishita was just looking at him.
Soon they reached their class and settled on the bench. Soon professor came and start teaching them while ishita's mind was still stuck at his words and his touch. The way he was hugging him tight and then the soft peck on her hair, she wasn't able to forget that magical moment. She was feeling butterflies in her stomach everytime she was remembering his touch.
Soon the classes got over and ishita sat on his bike to go back to her house, but she stop his bike in the market and said -aap jaiye, I have to pick something.
Raman -main bhi chalun.
Ishita nodded in no and said -its somethinf personal.
Raman nodded and was going but again turned his bike and came to her and said -apna khayal rakhna and call me if u need my help in anything.
Ishita just nodded and went, while Raman too start his bike. They were going in the opposite directions but looking at each other turning every now and then. Finally after ten minutes, they went for their destination .raman went to his house while ishita went to the mall.first she went to an optician and picked a pair of contact lenses. Then she went to big bazaar and purchased a shirt and vesti for her appa and a simple Saree for her amma. Then she picked a kurti for herself. She was going calculating the bill when her eyes fell on a olive colour shirt. She walked to it and took it in her hand.
Ishita -yeh colour raman ko bahut suit karega. Main le loon unke liye. She thought and looked at the price.
Ishita -itna sasta, will he wear this. Le hi leti hoon. She thought and buy that also.
She went to the counter and realised that the bill got over her budget, so she removed her kurti and paid for the remaining things.
Ishita -ek din mein hi paanch hazaar khatam kar diya, but no worry, ab toh main kamaungi. Aur amma appa bhi kitne khush honge, yeh gifts dekh kar. She thought and went to her house. She gave gifts to her parent and also told them about her job. At first amma-appa didn't like the idea of her working but when she told them that she will work in Mr bhalla's office, they didn't denied.
Appa -its good that u r working in his office but stay away from his son. He is not good, bigda hua raees hai woh. I don't want u near him,waise bhi he already has a girlfriend, Shagun arora.
Ishita -no appa, she is not his girlfriend, aur raman achche insaan hai.
Appa -dont teach me I know him better. He must be acting nice infront of u coz he want to trap u, par main bata de raha hoon, if u cross ur limits then I will not tolerate it.
Ishita felt bad that her father think so low about raman .she wanted to answer him back but she knows well that it will only increase her problem, so she just went to her room. She settled on the bed and said -meri job lagi, Main gift laayi but koi appreciation nahi. All he has to tell me that Raman is a bad guy. Ab kaise samjhaun aapko appa, ki woh kitne achche hai, sweet hai, cute hai, infact he is like a baby, chotu baby. She thought smiling and went to change.
On the other hand, Raman reached home and saw her mother busy in making food for them. He went from back and hugged her.
Toshiji -tu aa gaya puttar, ruk main tere liye garam garam paranthe senk deti hoon. Tere papa toh aaye nahi ab tak. She was saying when Raman gave her five thousand rupees.
Toshiji -aye ki hai puttar.
Raman -tere liye paise.
Toshiji took it with confused expression and said -iska main kya karun.
Raman -kya karun Matlab, khush ho.
Toshiji -khush houn, par kyun. Yeh paanch hazaar rupaiye le kar main kyun khush houn.
Raman -tujhe nahi khushi hui naa, I told her that u have much money, tu rakh le but nahi she told me to give this money to u aur kaha ki tu khushi se pagal ho jayegi. See tujhe kuch hua hi nahi, now I got it, she told this because she don't wanted to take my money. Dekho kitna ganda plan banaya, now I am angry, Main baat nahi katunga usse. He was go on saying when Toshiji said -tu kya bol raha hai, I am not getting a thing.
Raman look at her and said -tu samjhi nahi maa, wait let me tell u. He said and narrated her everything and said -ab bolo maa,isme bhi koi khush hone ki baat hai, usne mujhe buddhu banaya, galat kiya naa. He said making a baby face making toshiji smiled. She lovingly kissed his temple and said -she is right, this is the most precious thing for me in world. Yeh mere bete ki pehli kamai hai, I will always keep it safely with me. She said making Raman surprised.
Toshiji -kya hua puttar.
Raman -kuch nahi, I am just thinking that how she knew that u will be happy with it. Woh toh kabhi aapse mili bhi nahi.
Toshiji -kyunki yeh bahut common si cheez hai.
Raman -toh mujhe kyun nahi samajh mein aaya.
Toshiji made him sit and said -kyunki tujhe abhi duniyadaari ki samajh nahi.
Raman -toh usse Maine kaise, Main toh bada hoon naa usse.
Toshiji lovingly caressed his hair and said -kyunki tu mera pyara bachcha hai, and we have never given u chance to know about the world.
Raman look at her and then lay down in her lap and said -maa, mujhe bhi samjhao naa yeh sab. I too want to know about all this.
Toshiji -tu dheere dheere sab samajh jayega, ab tune apni zindagi badlane ki soch ki hai naa, very soon u will get everything. Achcha bata ishita sirf dost hai teri.
Raman looked at toshiji and said -woh mujhe bahut achchi lagti hai maa,uske saath reh kar mujhe bahut khushi hoti hai. Koi usse rulata hai toh mujhe bahut gussa aata hai. I really like her very much. He said blushing.
Toshiji smiled seeing him blushing and asked -aur woh, kya usse tu pasand hai.
Raman -haan, honga hi, after all I am so good. Ab toh main uske liye badalne bhi lagaa hoon. He said smiling while Toshiji too smile but deep inside she was worried that what will happen if ishita don't like him the way he liked her. She prayed to matarani never to break her son's heart as he is innocent and pure.
