Raman stood in the balcony laughing down at the sight in front of him. He could hardly hold back his laugh as he saw Param pacing in the compound with frustration written all over his face. He had to admit, he had thoroughly enjoyed Param's plight. Just as he was about to walk back into the house with the grin plastered on his face, he heard her. He looked down to find Ishita talking to Dolly Aunty in an excited tone, he could make out the excitement was a result of the success of their plan. It was her effort after all; she was the one who was smart enough to see through Param's facade of lies. A proud smile adorned his lips as he felt extremely proud of himself for giving her the right name. She was indeed a Jagga Jasoos, always being the one to save the day.
A frown creased his forehead as he saw her approach a visibly pissed Param. The frown turned into a grin as he heard her taunt Param to no ends, mock him for proving himself as a useless person and making their work easier. He could see Param seething in anger, but he was sure of the fact that his Jhansi Ki Rani was no less. The woman had completely changed his life for good, a few years back from now, he couldn't even imagine himself laughing around and enjoying someone's torture like he was enjoying Param's. He never had the time, nor did he have any interest in other's lives. She had not only filled the void of a mother in their daughter's life, but also filled the void of a companion in his life. He couldn't be more thankful for having her in his life.
He tossed around in the couch once again as the pain shot up his back for the nth time.. There was no way he could sleep on the utterly uncomfortable couch with the pain hammering his back. Irritated with his disturbed sleep, he tossed around once again without realizing of how close he was to the edge. His eyes snapped open when he felt the couch under him disappearing and reflexively his hands reached out in front of him to support himself before he hit ground. As his eyes scanned the sight below him, his eyes widened in horror and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for saving himself in the nick of the time.
It wasn't the ground he would have hit had he fallen down, he would have fell straight on her face. A shudder ran through him as he thought of what could have been the consequences had he fallen on her. Her lips would have touched his skin, or worse, what if her face would have touched him right there. Could he have handled that.? A groan bubbled upto his lips which he gulped down with great difficulty. Only he knew what the thought was doing to him, he would have completely lost it had that happened. Before he could gather himself from his thoughts, he saw her eyes open followed by them widening in horror. Though she was trying to sleep, she couldn't. She had felt his sudden proximity upon her skin and his scent filling her nostrils. She opened her eyes unaware of the shocking sight that would await her.
Raman, what are you doing.? She asked with her mouth wide open and horror evident in her voice..
He was thankful she didn't move as it would only have resulted in him doing the unexpected out of nervousness. Ignoring her question, he carefully moved and breathed in deeply as he felt the ground beneath him. Ishita who was holding her breath finally sighed in relief as he saw him safe on the ground and sat up at once.
