IshRa FF : || Arrange Marriage || (chap 8/Pg 101) - Page 9

Raman parked his car & came out of it, he looked at his flat where his sisters were waiting for him impatiencely, he shook his head & goes inside the building..

Raman walked in apartment when Mrs. Bhalla stopped him & stood in front of him by putting her hand on her hip, "What??" Raman asked..

"I asked you to not meet Ishita puttar before engagement.." Raman sighed..

"Okay fine.. From now I'm not going to meet with her.. Is that okay?" He sarcastically asked when she shook her head..

"Now can I get some food?? I'm hungry!!" He said little pissed..

"Why Bhai.. Don't you had your dinner with Bhabhii.." Rinki teased while streching the word 'Bhabhi..'

"Shut up!!" He shook his head irately & walked in his room..

But he could hear some teasing voices but he ignored the voices knowing full well if he stays there for a minute his sisters will start their teasing session so he went straight up to his room..

After taking a quick shower, he came out dressed & saw Simmi & Rinki on hia bed all ready..

"Oh god!! Save me from this two.." He self thought..

"Bhai.." They called him un unison when Raman sarcastically looked at them..

"Bhai, come have you dinner.." Rinki said in a teasing tone..

"No, I asked Neelu to bring my food in my room.. So, you both go & sleep.." Raman said..

"No, we won't leave unless you tell about Ishita.." Simmi said..

"What to tell about her? You two already know her, right??"

"Yeah, we know her but we are asking about how you feel about her??" Rinki asked..

"Hmm.. She's the most beutiful yet simple girl I have ever seen in my life.." Raman sais dreamily..

"Ooo!!" Rinki & Simmi howls with a laughter..

"Stop teasing me & get back to your room.." Raman frrowned at them..

"No, we don't leave you sooner without perstering you.." Both the ladies made an hi-fi..

"Okay fine.. I'm going out.. You two stay here.." Saying so he walked towards the door when his phone started ringing.. Before Raman could reach the side table to take the phone, Rinki took it & her eyes goes wide seeing the screen flashing "Madrasan!!" Raman snatched his phone from her & moved towards his balcony..

"Oh god, Raman you always take so much time to pick the damn call.." Ishita said irately..

"Arey yaar, I was stuck in my sisters teasing session.." Raman said pissed..

"What??"

"Nothing, leave it.. You say, why you called.."

"Yeah!! Actually amma asked me not to meet with you before engagement.." Ishita said little upset..

"So??"

Ishita made a angry face "Um.. No, nothing.." Raman smirks..

"Listen.. Can you meet me now??" Raman asked when she asked with a blush "Why?"

"Don't ask back, just say yes or no.."

"Yeah!! Okay.. But amma?? Okay.. I'll manage.." She said smiling..

"Okay then I'm coming to pick you.." Raman ended the call & turned back where his sisters were giggling..

"Enjoy your last date bhai.." Rinki said in a teasing way..

"Shut up & go back to your room.. And listen don't you dare to utter a word to maa!! Get that??" He asked sternly when they two shook their heads & took a leave..

Raman parked the car opposite to Iyer's house.. He was leaning his back on the car & waiting for Ishita to come down.. That's when he saw Ishita was coming out from house wearing a pink & white color saree..

"You look good Ishita.." Raman whispered near her ears..

"Thanks" Ishita blushesd..

"Okay now where you want to take me??" She asked..

"At beach.. Shall we go now now??" Raman asked when they both sits inside the car..

Raman stopped the car & quickly came out & opened the passenger side door to help Ishita to step out.. Ishita took his hand & they walked towards the beach..

"Raman what.." But before she completed her word, Raman shushed her & closed her eyes with his palm & slowly took her to the beach.. And slowly let her open her eyes..

"Wow!!" Ishita exclaimed excitedly, it was a full moon day, the sea waves were shining like silver & there was a dinner arrangment..

"Raman.." She looked at him when he bend on his knees holding a red rose bunch "Ishita, thanks for being in my life.."

Ishita smiles with a blush & took the rose, they enjoyed their dinner there & then enjoying the night hand in hand..

"Thank you for giving me this special day.." Ishita smiles, Raman looked at her glowing face, they had a beautiful eye lock when Raman slowly bend his lips towards her lips & in next moment their lips touched.. After a moment later they broke the kiss..

Ishita looked down shyly "I guess we are getting late.." She said turning pink..

"Sure.." Ramab stood up & helped her to stand on her foot..

They remained silent through out the drive just steeling glances & Raman dropped her near her gate.. "Umm.. oh!.. actually.. kiss... that was.." Raman stumbled..

"That was nice!! My first ever kiss.." Ishita says all blushing & ran towards the gate..

Raman grins at her & says "Bye, take care, meet you after two days.."

Ishita stealthily went inside her house & waved her hand from the balcony to Raman who was still waiting near his car.. Later he drove back to his house..

"So Bhai.. Tell me, how was your dinner date with your Madrasan?" Simmi eagerly targets him early in the morning..

"Yaar Simmi you don't have any other usefull work other than pulling my legs??" Raman admonished..

"NO!! Nothing is as interesting & entertaining as your love story.." Simmi teased him.. Raman runs his hand through his hair to control his exasperation..

"Okay! Fine! I'll tell you & your partner in crime everything about my date in evening, now I'm running out of time so bye!!" Raman sayid & flew from the place in jet speed..

Ishita was brushing her hair in front of the mirror & suddenly she noticed her swollen lips in the mirror, she examined her lip how it got swollen that's when she remembered her night in beach with Raman & she blushed realizing what they have done yesterday!!

"Amma bye!!" Ishita bid a bye & was going to leave when Mrs. Iyer said "Ishu today we are going to select your engagement ring so come early from hospital.."

"Okay amma!!" She took a leave..

Ishita was sitting in her cabin when when Raman called "Hi.." She answered..

"Ishita.. You sounds upset.. All okay??"

"Yeah.."

"Don't lie.."

"Actually I delivered a baby today but I couldn't save her mother.." She said sad..

"Ishita, you can't decide anyone's fate no!! Only you can try to save & I know you tried but may be it was fate.." Raman said..

"Hmm.. You say, why you called??"

"Yeah!! Maa told me that I need to select the engagement ring today so I thought I'll take you with me so that you could choose the one which you like.. what say?? And you looking upset, so you'll feel little fresh also.."

"Oh!! Even amma told me to come early from hospital to purchase engagement ring for you!! Okay then we can go together & select the one which we both like but before that I need to inform my amma as she strictly said to not meet with you, you know.." She smiled little..

"Actually when I suggested this idea to maa, she immediately talked to amma & she agreed too, but still you could call her & inform her that you will be little late to reach home.."

"Okay!!"

"What time can I pick you up?" Raman asked..

"By 6pm.. Will you be able to come by that time??"

"Sure! I'll meet you at 6pm.."

"Bye! See you!"

"Bye.." Raman ended the call..

"Hi.." Ishita smiled seeing him there waiting for her..

"You okay now??" Raman asked worriedly when she shook her head with a deep sigh..

"So shall we?" He asked opening the passenger side door for her to clamber in... After she gets settled he moved around to his side & started the ignition.. "Um.. Seat belt Ishit" He reminded her..

"Oh thank you.." she said & puts the seat belt on..

After reaching to the shop, they were browsing the rings "Ishita.. Did you choose any ring?" Raman expectantly asked..

"Umm.. Actually I don't know which one to select! All are pretty but I'm thoroughly confused.. Did you chose your ring??" she asked..

"Same here!! Even I'm confused! Okay let's do one thing, you better select ring for me & I'll for you! what say?" Raman suggestes..

"Pretty good idea!" madhu agreed..

"I like this one.." Both said in unison holding the ring which they selected for the other one.. They smiled & bought the rings, after that Raman dropped her at her place & drove away..

"Hello ladies! As ever my two sweet ladies are halted in my room & make me wonder whether it's my room or not.." Raman said with a bright smile..

"Of course, Bhau it's your Bed room but don't forget it's our Entertainment room too!!" Rinki snapped teasingly..

"Bhai, you know very well why we are waiting here so, don't waste time.." Simmi said..

"We went to buy our engagement rings & later I dropped her at her place.." Raman finished the whole event in one sentence...

"That's it??" Rinki's jaw dropped..

"What else you expect??" He sarcastically asked..

"But you came late last night? Even in morning when I asked about your date you said you will say everything in evening & now yiu are hiding something from us.." Simmi asked suspiciously..

"Oh oh! My sisters, I'm not hiding anything, we went for a walk in beach yesterday.."

"Okay! We won't ask any further because we knew what would have happen there.." Rinki winks..

"Raman bhai, Show us the engagement ring.." Simmi asked eagerly..

"No.. Not now!! That's surprise so you'll see only on after a day.." Raman replies, both the ladies pouted in disappointment..

"Stop pouting & get back to your room! I need my beauty sleep.." Raman said..

"Beauty sleep or your beauty in sleep??" Rinki teased him & ran away they two, he sighed..

"Simmi.. Iyer's will be arriving soon!! Is everything ready? I want each & everything to be perfect in Raman's engagement function.." Mrs. Bhalla instructed her..

"Yes.. Mumma all the arrangements were made perfectly, you please relax!" Simmi assured..

"Raman, where's he??" Mrs. Bhalla questioned..

"Umm!! I just checked him, he's in guest room, busy in some conferencemeeting.." Rinki said..

"I don't know what I'm gonna do with my over duty conscious son! Even on today, that too on his engagement day, he wants to do works.. I wonder whether this boy will ever change!! I hope only Ishita can change him.." Mrs. Bhalla said with slight irritation..

"Why should I change him mummyji? When he is so perfect in all aspect.." Ishita said standing near the door way with her parents & her sisters.. Mr. & Mr. Bhalla & Simmi & Rinki immediately moved towards the entrance to welcome them.. Ishita quickly bend down & took their blessing & then hugged the sistets with a smile..

"Sorry mummyji for interrupting you while you were talking but I really don't want to change your son in any way!!" She said smilingly..

"My Raman is blessed to have you as his life partner.." she says lovingly caressing Ishita's face & she hugged toshiji happily..

"Ishit.. come yaar lets go in & have some chit chat.." Simmi enthusiastically said & drags Ishita's hand..

"Excuse me.." Ishita said gently & left the place with them..

"Simmi, Rinki! Why are you not taking me to your room.." Ishita asked..

"For a change we are going to chat in YOUR room.." Rinki replied..

"My room??"

"Yes, this is my Raman bhai's room so obviously it's yours too.." She shrugs..

"Oh, okay.."

All the three ladies sat on the bed & started with their usual gossiping, wedding shopping plans, latest movies & so.. Simmi excused herself saying toshiji will need her help in welcoming the guest & in providing refreshments to them.. Then Rinki & Ishita discussed about the engagement dress..

"Rinki, I'm thirsty! Can you get me something to drink??" Ishita asked..

"Oh I'm sorry bhabhi! I'll go bring you some juice & snacks to eat.."

"Thanks, Rinki.." Immediately she left the room to bring something for Ishita to drink & eat!! Then Ishita climbed out of the bed & roamed around the huge well - furnished clean room of Raman, hmm.. soon to be hers too!. She slowly moved to the balcony to catch some fresh air.. Meanwhile she didn't notice Raman's arrival & at the same time even he dint notice her standing her near the balcony & he went straight into his dressing room, took is towel & headed to his bathroom.. After taking a hot shower, Raman came out of the bathroom wrapping a towel around his waist & water dripping from his wet hair running through his torso.. He opened his wardrobe to take his dress & the sound brought Ishita's attention & she quickly moved to the room & gasps loudly seeing RK partially naked.. Hearing her sound Raman turned at the direction & shocked to see Ishita in his room staring at him with wide eye & open mouth..

"Enjoying the view, Ishit" Raman teased..

"Um.. No, I'm sorry!" Ishita quickly turned to the other side feeling embarrassed..

"That's okay, It's not new to me.." He shrugs..

"What do u mean 'it's not new to me'?" She asked frankly..

"Oh actually most of the time my room was occupied by my sisters, so seeing yiu here it dint shocked me much.." He said coolly.. "And I don't change in front of ladies other than you.." Ishita lowered her eyes..

"Why are you turning that side? Look at me.." Raman asked..

"You first get decently dressed then I'll turn.." She shyly said & he chuckled seeing her shyness..

"Okay now you can turn.." He got dressed in black pant & white shirt but the buttons were undone.. He started doing his buttons & sudden a button broke & came along with his fingers, "Shit.." He hissed..

"What?" Ishita asked turning towards him, He showed her the broken button & pointed to his shirt..

"Oh! If you don't mind, I'll stitch the button for you.." She suggested..

"Avec pleasure, you can do it for me.." He grins at her..

She took the needle, thread & a new button from the box & slowly moves close to him & starts stitching.. Raman closed his eyes cherishing the moment & inhaling her heavenly scent.. After stitching Ishit cuts the thread with her teeth slightly brushing her body against him.. Then she buttoned up the 3 undone button of the shirt.. After that she puts the cuff buttons on both the hands & finally she put a black coat over the shirt & adjusted the collar for him! All this while Raman was looking her dressing him with love filled eyes & smiles happily..

"Why are you smiling.." Ishita questioned him..

"Nothing just thinking that still we didn't get engaged too but now itself you started behaving like a Pati vratha Patni.." He said with surprise, Ishita amiled while adjusting his collar properly..

"You are looking outrageously gorgeous & beautiful in this Pink & silver lenga, Ishita.." He said smilingly..

"Thank you & you look dashing in this black coat & suit.." She winks & he gave her a close up ad smile..

Both Raman & Ishita walked down the stairs hand in hand to join their family & friends.. Then They both stood on the center dais & all the gathering moved from there seat & came close to the dais to watch the event..
Toshiji produced the ring to Raman & Madhvi handed the ring to Ishita & asked them to exchange the ring.. Ishita took Raman's hand in her hand & slips the ring in his ring finger & then Raman took her left hand giving a slight squeeze to it & slips the ring on her ring finger & place a soft kiss on her knuckles & she blushed crimson..

"Lovely ring, Ishita.." Simmi whispered & Ishita smiled brightly..

"Congrats bhaiya.." Rinki hugged Ramab & then she moved towards Ishita & gave her a squeezing hug..

All the guests cheered the couple with huge applause!! Raman & Ishita got blessings from elders & all moved towards the dinner table.. After dinner Mr. Bhalla & Mr. Iyer thanked all the guests for attending their lovely Son & daughter's engagement & also announced that the lovely couple Ishra will tie the knot on after two weeks..
