A beauuutiful update as always...!!!đ You have your way with words, I just cant get enough of the way you write... A beautiful update to sum up their feelings. Loved how Ishita assuered Raman that she would also prefer him over anyone else, least of all his ex-wife.. and icing on the cake was she initiating the kiss..đđłThere are few works which have recall value for me, and yours is one of them.. I can read your OS/SS any number of times... Keep writing aani... I will keep phangurling...đđłCan't wait for the next update despite knowing what this is about..đđ

How am glad you exploed Raman's feelings here. I went as deeper in the update as I went for Ishita. And then you ended it. Sigh. No am not going to complain again. Cause I loved this so much đ Please don't mind if I tell you am totally admiring your work here đ Ahem. Fangirling in other words âď¸
Thank you for making me dislike shagun just the same as I do while I see her. Restored my faith in her đ
Finally puttar's anger did the job and he said what he said đ Raman's realisation to his own words 𤣠Bechara. Loved that bit. I dunno all the teasings there were too adorable. It just doesn't leave me. How cute to show he's so mortified there. "Why me" đ So *coughs* (sorry for the reminder), but vivid enough to laugh out alone, again đ
Typical Raman to show anger when he cares đł And such a cute ishraru scene. Smart Ishu, Ruhi insisting and Raman stuck between. đ And he does the sweetest things. The car bit had such light and adorable moments. I had a silly grin, and felt like I'm the one in love there. So it was beautiful.
A huge hug for making me love the show again. It totally gave me the fresh feel that attracted me to them đ¤
Love how he very well knows how the moment was an expected yet unexpected one.
Wonderfully written as usual đđź
And so sorry for late edits. Uni and life
Note:
4 down, 5 to go.
Thanks to all the readers who have been so far with me on this journey, silent and otherwise.
A Happy Valentine' Day to All of you.
Chapter 4 - The Juxtaposition Of Being Lovers & Parents.
"That first kiss, it still has a way of making us nervous as teenagers, no matter how old we get."
Amy Jacobson, A Ride of a Lifetime
"Sometimes there is such beauty in awkwardness."
Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray
They begin slowly, softly, hesitantly.
Their movements tentative as they explore each other for the first time; get acquainted with the softness of each other' lips; familiarize with the texture of them. Get the first taste of each other.
Unaccustomed to each other, their lips move over each other' softly, slowly. With their eyes closed and arms around each other it is the first time, they have ever touched each other so freely, with abandon and yet with a certain amount of restrain at the same time.
She releases the grip on his collar, her hand moving of its own accord as it draws him closer, closer still to her. Her palm travels up the curve of his shoulder to the column of his neck finally moving to the back of his head as it travels up his nape. Her fingers thread in his hair while his hands roam the contours of her body still foreign and yet familiar to him at the same time, at last going around her waist pulling her closer to him.
He probes his tongue out parting her mouth making her gasp and delights in the taste of her mouth. Their exploration continues at the same pace for a while with the sounds of their quiet moans echoing in the quietness of the room. She lightly nips his bottom lip and unleashes their restraints as they deepen the kiss, their wanton tongues dueling in the play.
All bets off now, his mouth leaves hers as his lips travel to her chin, her jaw, her cheeks and back again to her mouth to drop a quick kiss before they follow the curve of her jaw to her ear as he snips it lightly. His tongue tasting her when his lips find purchase at the nook between her neck and shoulder as he scrapes her skin with his teeth making her whimper slightly and her breath catch.
She shivers involuntarily as her senses feel bombarded by the delicious contrast of feeling the softness of his lips as well as the rasp of his stubble grazing her skin. Her uninjured hand slightly pulls his hair, even as she arches her neck to allow him more access to her skin. He dips his head lower kissing the hollow of her neck; travelling further south scorching her even more as she feels him inch dangerously close to her heart.
His hand trails up from her waist setting a trail of fire on her skin even through the layer of clothing, as gently he cups her and runs his thumb along the swell of her breast; making her whimper slightly causing the hand in his hair to tighten its hold involuntarily scratching his scalp in the process.
The sound makes it impossible for him to resist her beautiful mouth, and so he captures it again, nipping her bottom lip and gaining access to her taste once again as his tongue twines with hers. She traces her tongue along the roof of his mouth making him groan aloud though the sound drowns out by the knocking on their door. Their daughter shouts from outside the door asking for her Ishimaa, making them freeze as they halt in their movements temporarily. Panting slightly they withdraw only to hear Simi conversing with the little girl, taking her away as she manages to convince her niece her Ishimaa was fine and papa would open the door once they are done. She should not disturb them as papa might involuntarily hurt Ishimaa if he isn't careful, which is why he is taking so much time.
Their little darling does not protest then and quietly goes with her aunt.
They look at each other in silence for the span of a few heartbeats before breaking into quiet laughter as she hides her face against his shoulder, their quiet chuckles fading out subsequently.
"That was close."
He murmurs against her temple mindlessly running his fingers through her hair as her hand runs over his back.
"It was." She admits with a chuckle before continuing, as she finally raises her head to look at him.
Her husband looks adorably flushed and she wishes they hadn't been interrupted but the reminder that their daughter is worried sick about her makes her tamp down herself as she recalls how a moment ago she had had the second time experience of being a thoroughly embarrassed parent. Having Adi walk in on her and Raman that night was scary as it is for her; to remember how Adi had been mortified upon finding them locked in an embrace as she almost straddled her husband was almost heart attack inducing. To think she could have had Ruhi walk in on them when they were actually kissing would have surely given her one.
"I would have died if Ruhi had walked in on us kissing. Thank god the door was locked."
"God? I was the one who locked the door madam, so thank me instead." He muttered giving her a little headbutt.
"Alright fine you devil, thank you, but I wasn't kidding when I said I would have died if she had caught us kissing, so I was thanking god for saving my life too."
"Die...I wouldn't go that far but..."
He husked before drawing back to look at the flushed face of his wife who looked even more tempting with her thoroughly kissed lips and the blush that was impossible not to notice as it colored her cheeks. Too caught up in admiring her he lost his train of thought until she gave him a headbutt right back to bring him back to reality as she asked,
"But...?"
"But it sure would have made our life hell had she asked something like what were we doing or had Simi walked in after her who wouldn't have had to ask anything."
He finished with a wink earning a slap on the shoulder from his thoroughly flushed wife.
"You are just impossible Raman."
"I know...impossible to resist right? Wait you don't need to answer that, not after the way you totally grabbed me and pulled me in for a kiss."
Raising his eyebrows he leers at his wife expecting her to evade him or deny his allegations only to take him further by surprise, reminding him of the moment he asked her would she ever stop surprising him on Shagun' sangeet.
He knew his answer then, knows it even now, and thinks to himself now he knows why people love surprises. If this is how it feels to be surprised, he hopes he is always on the receiving end of them by his delightful wife.
"I thought you wanted me to act more like a wife, like you said the other day in the car park, even admitted that you are a little jealous of Ruhi. Are you complaining now?"
Even as she doesn't look him in the eye, she wrecks havoc on his senses running the index finger of her uninjured hand along his Adam' apple slightly scratching the area with her nail when she finishes, on purpose.
The little hiss that escapes his mouth as he feels the sting of the scratch has her grinning ear-to-ear making him realize how he had underestimated the prim and proper Ishita Iyer Bhalla.
Keeping his arm around her uninjured shoulder, he brings his wife closer before capturing her bottom lip in a kiss,
"Not at all my dear wife just thinking maybe should I have done this sooner? What with you, clearly trying to mark me and all with your nails now? To think the badges of honor I could have sported already..."
"Badges of honor...really?" She drawls with the quirk of an eyebrow.
"Absolutely, don't you know there is nothing sexier than claiming stakes?"
"Well...as a dentist I wouldn't know anything about stakes...or the thrill of claiming like you said doesn't come with the territory you see."
"Hmm...as long as you know about bites, given your profession, I am sure we will manage and I am there to let you know all about staking claims we have wasted a lot of time as it is, so..."
"So...?"
"So...I propose once you are better, all healed we start making on lost time and more?"
Though his wife hid her face with her palm, he could notice the smile on her lips but more importantly found his heart beat a little faster when his eyes noticed the blush spreading across her cheeks even before she slowly nodded her head in a wordless reply to his question,.
With the softest of kiss on the back of her hand, he rises up from bed and walks away; making her finally look up and notice her husband was already making way towards their wardrobe.
I dare you to post a thing about anyone other than DivAn.
Chapter # 01 Title: âPehli Baar Ishq Huaâ Raman and Ishita had been married for months nowâcontractually, yesâbut slowly, silently, love had...
It was one of those rare calm nights in Delhi, the kind that carried a soft breeze, the scent of blooming mogra, and a strange kind of silence...
