Ishq Bulaava

| 24. Will you marry me? |

Karan was getting ready in his room when Monami came there, he looked at her amused as she was looking annoyed, he turned towards her, "Kya hua Rani Sahiba... subah-subah mood kyu kharab hai aapka..." he asked.

"Yeh tum puch rahe ho..." she said and sat on his bed, he looked at her confused, "Tumhari wajah se hi mera mood kharab hai Khadoos Shergill..."

"Meri wajah se..." he asked and she nodded, "Par maine kya kiya hai ab..."

"Tumhe kal kaha tha ready rehna, par tum ho ki abhi tak ready nahi ho..." she said and he realised that he was again late, "Jab bhi mere saath jaana hota hai, tum late kyu karte ho... jaan bhujkar karte ho naa aisa..."

"Kuch bhi mat kaho... main jaan bhujkar kyu karunga..." he asked getting annoyed.

"Ab bahane mat banao... late aane ke liye extra punishment milegi tumhe..." she announced and he looked at her shocked, "Ab aise mere muh mat dekho, jaldi ready ho jao... warna punishment aur badh jayegi..." she said and he quickly started getting ready, she chuckled a little seeing his actions.

"Hum yaha kyu aaye hai..." Karan asked surprised as Monami stopped the jeep outside the same orphanage, they had visited a few weeks ago.

"Tumhari punishment ke liye..." she replied getting down and he was confused.

"Rani Sahiba aur unke unique punishments, last time punishment bolkar Gurudwara le gayi thi, aur aaj orphanage... pata nahi inke dimaag mein kya chalta rehta hai..." he thought sitting in the jeep.

"Karan..." she called out to him breaking his trance, "Ek toh already late ho, ab waha baithkar kya soch rahe ho... chalo jaldi..." she said and he quickly got down from the jeep and followed her.

"Ab toh bata do punishment kya hai..." he asked as they walked side by side towards the area where all the kids would be.

"Bata dungi... time aane par sab pata chal jayega..." she said and he looked at her confused, "Bas itna yaad rakhna, iss punishment se back out karne ka koi option nahi hai tumhare pass..." she said in a serious tone and he looked at her.

"Pata nahi aaj kya karane wali hai yeh mujhse... " he thought getting a little worried.

Monami controlled her smile seeing him getting all tensed.

"Karan..." she called him again, and he looked at her, "Ab chale... baar-baar kaha kho jaate ho..." she said and he nodded, and they continued walking towards the kids play area.

The entire day passed like this, with Karan asking Monami about the punishment while she asked him to wait for the right time, he was now getting tense as to what she had planned for him.

They played many different games with the kids, Monami also taught them some dance, and while she danced Karan was busy admiring his Rani Sahiba.

"Rani Sahiba, ab toh shaam hone ko aayi hai, ab toh bata dijiye, punishment kya hai meri..." Karan asked her again.

"Bata dungi Karan, bas ek last game khelte hai naa, please..." Monami said looking at him, and seeing her cute face, he could not deny and nodded at her, she smiled seeing his approval and in her excitement kissed on his cheek, he was shocked by her sudden action and looked at her, he immediately looked around, and sighed in relief as the kids were busy in their game.

"Yeh kya tha Rani Sahiba..." he asked still in shock.

"Mera haq... Khadoos Shergill..." she said and winked at him.
