SS: Locha-e-ulfat ho gaya...pt 7...pg 28 - Page 19

Raman followed Ishita till her house and then sped towards his house to talk to Mr.Bhalla before he sleeps.

Raman: Neelu...Papa kahaan hai?

Neelu: So gaye Raman babu...

Raman: So gaye? Ok... (To himself) Toh ab drama different level pe honi chahiye kal...

Neelu: Kya?

Raman: Aap apne kaam karo yaar...

Param: Saale sahib...

Raman: Jeeju...Aap bhi abhi abhi aaye ho...

Param: Haan... Ek baat bolo...Aapke dost kya mandir ke pandit hai kya...

Raman: Pandit... (Realises the meaning of that line) Kyon jeeju... Normal dost mere liye Prasad nahi lekar aa sakthe hain ?

Param: Aise hi poocha... Aap jao... Gud night...

Raman: Good night

The next morning, Raman got up at 6 and called Ishita...

Ishita: (In a low voice) Hello... Kya hua? Itna bhi miss mat karo yaar

Raman: Bas bas... Che baj gayi... Aaj office jaana hai... Utho ab...

Ishita finally opened her eyes on listening to that...

Ishita: Thank you Raman... You are my life saver yaar... Aaj lunch pe milte hain... All the best... Bye

Raman: All the best to you too... Bye...

Meanwhile, Madhavi entered Ishita's room...

Madhavi: Ishu...Utho... Time ho... (Seeing Ishita) Uth gayi Ishu... Meri kanna...Kitni responsible ho gayi...

Ishita: (Yawning) Haan amma... Mein ready hokar aati hoon...Pooja ke liye...

Madhavi: Seri kanna...Aaj achi tarah pray karo... Subbu se milna hai...

Ishita: (Thinking) Subah subah uss duffer ka naam lena zaroori tha kya? Amma bhi na... (To Madhvi) Ok ok... I'll come...

At 8 a.m., In Bhalla house, when Mr.Bhalla came to the dining table, he saw that Raman was already fully dressed up...

Mr.Bhalla: Puttar...Yeh nayi trend hai? Doston ke saath jaane ke liye koun iss Delhi ke garmi mein suit pehanta hai?

Raman: Papa... Doston ke saath nahi aapke saath... Office...

Mr.Bhalla: Aaj kal mujhe bhi teek tarah sunayi de raha hai...ENT ke pass jaana padega. Tune shayad kuch aur kaha aur mujhe aise laga jaise tumne kaha ki tu office aa raha hai mere saath...

Raman: (Thinking) Raman...tujhe yeh bhi chahiye isse jyada bhi chahiye. Nakhre kiya na kal... Meri madrasan ka kya karoon? (To Mr.Bhalla) Papa...wahi bola maine.

Mr.Bhalla: Kya hogaya puttar? Tabyath toh teek hai na?

Raman: Papa...Voh maine socha Mihir bhi busy rehta hai...Romi ke saath akele kya karoon...Toh office hi sahi...

Mr.Bhalla: Acha? Jaise tumhe teek lage... Lekin puttar, tera cabin tak vahaan tayaar nahi hoga. Teek hai...mere cabin share karo aaj.

Raman: Cabin kyon papa?

Mr.Bhalla: Tu company ka maalik hai Raman.

Raman: Iska matlab humara company... Toh staff ke saath kaam karne mein kya jayega? Itna toh adjust kar hi saktha hoon...

Mr.Bhalla was surprised and felt proud of his son.

Mr.Bhalla: Teek hai lekin...

Raman: Ma ko nahi bataunga. Aap aao...Naastha karo...

In Iyer house,

Ishita: (From her room) Amma...Inga vaa... (Come here) Amma...Jaldi karo yaar. Office ke liye pehle din late ho jaongi toh acha thodi na lagta.

Madhu: (Entering inside her room) Ishu...Itna kyon chilla rahi hai? Sirf tere kaam kar nahi paongi. Tumhare appa abhi pack kar raha hai... Ek hi insaan hoon. Kya kya karoon?

Ishita: Amma...aap itne important ho iss ghar mein. Aapke bina ek pin tak hil nahi saktha iss ghar mein amma...

Madhu: Ishu...Baat karna koi tumse seekhe... Yeh kya Ishu? Ab tak saadi nahi baandha tune...

Ishita: Amma...90% hogaya na... Bas yeh neeche wala pleat rakhna nahi aata mujhe... Isliye meine bola mujhe saadi nahi pehanni...

Madhu: 90%??? Uss pleat hi important hai saree mein? Kab seekhogi? Chalo...chodo...Main karti hoon...

Ishita and Raman got a warm reception in their respective offices. Later, in Bhalla Industries,

Raman: Mihir...Yeh aaj ka business lunch ke liye kab jaa rahe hain?

Mr.Bhalla: Abhi se tujhe bhook lag raha hai Raman. Its just 10.

Raman: Papa... aap yahaan.

Mr.Bhalla: Dekhne aaya tha ki tum comfortable ho ya nahi...

Raman: Ya ya...voh actually aaj ke schedule ke baare mein pooch raha tha Mihir se.

Mr.Bhalla: Mere schedule jaankar tum kya karoge? Waise, yeh khaas business lunch ke baare mein kya pooch taach kar rahe ho?

Raman: I want to come with you na papa. I want to learn from you. Business lunch...Mihir ne bataya uske baare mein. Special kuch nahi.

Mr.Bhalla: (With a skeptical look) Ok. We will leave at 12.

Mihir: (In a low voice) Ishu na...

Raman: Ssh...

Mihir: Sirf voh hai do tumhe duniya mein track pe laa sakthi... Kamaal ki bandi hai...Office tak aane diya aaj hi aaj...

Raman: Mihir...Koi sun lega... Shut up. Pata nahi yahaan koun kiska jasoos hai...

Mihir: Ok...

Finally, Mr.Bhalla and Raman reaches the hotel for business lunch and saw that Ishita was already there and she was busy with a phone call. Raman noticed that there were few more people with her. For the first time, Raman saw Ishita in a saree and he was totally mesmerized by her. He admired the way she carried that saree though she wore it for the first time in her whole lifetime.

Raman: (Thinking) Waah beta...Saree... Amma ka kaam hoga...Subbu ke liye. Lekin, usse pehle tumhe maine dekha... Lekin tashan toh dekho...Saree pe bhi kam nahi hua...

Mr.Bhalla : (Breaking Raman's thought process) Shayad voh hogi Ishita... (Shaking Raman) Iyer uncle ki beti... You remember her, right? Lekin tum dono bahut chote bhi hua karte the...

Raman: How can I forget her? (Changing his tone) I meant, obviously papa... Iyer aunty aur mom ke jagda...Koi bhool saktha hai kya?

Mr.Bhalla asked his personal secretary who was standing nearby.

Mr.Bhalla: Sumit...Are we late? Ms.Iyer...

Sumit: Sir... We are not. She must have taken after her father. Mr.Iyer was also like that... Too punctual. He would rather wait than making others wait.

Mr.Bhalla: Hmm... (To Raman) Raman... (Raman was busy drooling over Ishita that he failed to hear Mr.Bhalla's voice) RAMANNN...

Raman: Jee papa...

Mr.Bhalla: Puttar... Main chale jaon puttar? Matlab, kabab mein haddi toh nahi ban jaunga na

Raman: Papa...Kaise baat kar rahe ho? Aapke business...

Mr.Bhalla: Lekin girlfriend teri hai na

Raman: Papa...

Mr.Bhalla: Aur cover up karna zaroori nahi hai... I know it... Raman, main tera baap hoon... Kal Shagun wala naatak, raat mein dost, ajanak office, business lunch ke liye tadap, ab yeh aashiq type looks... Sabse important, tumhari badli badli si tevar... You didn't want a cabin too... Aise mere puttar pehle nahi tha... Ma ka asar thoda bahut tha pehle...

Raman: Dad?

Mr.Bhalla: Pehle se pata chal gaya ki koi hai tere zindagi mein... Ishita ko dekhkar baaki baat samaj mein aa gayi... Jaan bhujke tumse poocha agar tum usse jaante ho... (Ignoring Raman's stares) Teri ma aur Mrs.Iyer ke beech mein hi issues hai... Mere aur Vishwa ke beech mein nahi... Tumhe aise kaise laga ki mujhe yehi bhi pata nahi chalega tum dono ke saath padaayi karne ke baare mein...

Raman: Papa...I'm sorry...Voh...

Mr.Bhalla: I understand. Toshi se kuch nahi kahoonga mein.

Raman: (Hugs Mr.Bhalla) Thank you papa

Mr.Bhalla: Main Vishwa se baat...

Raman: Nahi nahi papa...Ab nahi...

Meanwhile, Ishita marched towards them with her secretary. Her secretary introduced Mr.Bhalla and Raman to her. Before Raman could open her mouth about Mr.Bhalla knowing everything,

Ishita: (Extending her hands) Hello Mr.Bhalla... Hello Mr.Raman Bhalla

Though Ishita's behavior was acceptable on a professional front, Raman felt uneasy . He was not entirely sure if this was the right way for a father-in-law and Daughter-in-law to meet for the first time. More than right and wrong, he was confused as to how Mr.Bhalla will take this. When these thoughts were circulating inside his mind, Mr.Bhalla touched him on his shoulder again.

Mr.Bhalla: Raman... (Signaled towards Ishita's extended hands)

Raman: (Shaking his hands) Hello Ishita...I meant Ms.Iyer...

Ishita: Shall we?

Mr.Bhalla: After you...

Throughout the lunch, Ishita didn't show any sign of knowing Raman or Mr.Bhalla and remained a thorough professional in her approach. Though Raman loved this unseen side of Ishita, the aftermath of this meeting was troubling him inside and he failed to become a good listener. After the end of the meeting, Ishita greeted both of them cordially and moved out. Finally, Mr.Bhalla turned towards Raman.

Raman: Papa...Believe in me...Ishita aise nahi hai... Voh toh bas...

Mr.Bhalla: Lekin mujhe toh aisi bahu chahiye...

Raman: Jee?

Mr.Bhalla: She's perfect Raman... Straight forward hai... Mujh dekhkar unnecessary naatak nahi kiya... Apne approach mein professional hi rahi... Its very clear. She's not double faced Raman... Teri mumma ke baare mein mujhe nahi pata lekin Ishita bahut achi hai... Mere side se she passed with distinction... (Seeing Raman's hesitation) Come on Raman... Tu pind se padke nahi aaye ho, Harvard mein padkar aaye ho... She didn't disrespect me Raman...Yehi issue tujhe pareshaan kar raha hai na?

Raman: Yes...

Mr.Bhalla: She's perfect... Believe in your own choice Raman... She won't let you down...For any reason...(Sensing the vibration of his mobile) Ishita hi hai...(In the phone) Hello...

Ishita: Hello uncle...Ishita bol rahi hoon...

Mr.Bhalla: Bolo beta...

Ishita: Actually, I'm sorry... Maine aapse aisi baatein...

Mr.Bhalla: Kaise beta?

Ishita: Voh... Baaki log bhi te. Agar mein aapse personal level pe baat karoongi toh vahaan acha nahi lagta na uncle... Clients ke saamne...

Mr.Bhalla: Explanation dene ki zaroorat hi nahi thi beta... I know...

Ishita: Thanks uncle... Aap kaise ho? Ghar mein baaki log...

Mr.Bhalla: All of us are going great lekin ek baat batao...Mujhse kyon pooch rahi ho? Raman ne tumhe bataya nahi?

Ishita: Raman?

Mr.Bhalla: Dono kya first class acting karte ho... Raman ke haath phone de raha hoon...Pooch lena...

Ishita: Raman...

Raman: Papa knows everything...

Ishita: And...

Raman: Kya bataun?

Ishita: Bolo...

Raman: Haan bol diya...

Ishita: RAMANNN... Waise aapke gusse ka kya haal hai Mr.Raman Kumar Bhalla?

Raman: Papa ne samja diya but I'm sorry yaar...Aise gussa nahi karna chahiye tha...

Ishita: Gussa nahi kiya hota tabhi galat hota... Mujhse pyaar karne ka yeh matlab nahi hota ki mere haan mein haan milaoge... Itni gandhi nahi hoon mein...

Raman: That's why I love you...

Mr.Bhalla coughed...

Raman: Bye Ishita...

Ishita: (Started laughing) Tum bhi na...Uncle ke saamne... Chal...Bye...
