The Secret Love

SHOT 3
Both stayed in the same position for a long time until raman realised it was time for them to leave and unwillingly he tore himself from ishita and told her the same
She looked at him with pleading eyes wanting to live the moment for a while but inside she also knew they couldn't so just nodded her head and once again looking back at the place where they had spent one of the most beautiful evenings of their lives, both drove off
Ishita entered her house and texted raman and after half an hour raman too reached his house and both slept off wishing each other a good night and dreams of the other
The next morning, ishita woke up with a dreamy smile on her face all thanks to the beautiful memories of the last evening spent with raman and effortlessly a dreamy smile adorned her face
She picked up her phone and caressed the pictures they had clicked last night and her mobile popped up with a text from him
"Subah ke sooraj ne aapko salaam bheja hai
Phoolon ne khushboo ka nazrana
Aur mere dil ne mohabbat ka paigam bheja hai
Stop ogling at me meri jaan good morning"
She smiled reading his text and not wishing him back, got up as she ran to the washroom to get ready as she was getting late for her clinic
She hurriedly completed her breakfast and stepped out of the house, saw raman also coming out of his house with an angry pout on his face which she had expected obviously she had not wished him a good morning today and that was what had made her ravan angry
R(sarcastically)- some madrasis don't even have manners
I-and some Punjabis don't even know how to wish a good morning
She moved closer and looked around making sure none saw them hurriedly pecked his lips mouthing a "good morning ravan kumar this is how madrasis wish morning" and ran from there before he could catch her as it took him some minutes to cover from that shock she had just given him
Raman saw her retreating figure and ruffled his hair smiling at her antics and took out his mobile texting her
"hmm madrasi style of wishing morning is good but you know Punjabi style is even better a bit detailed one you know"
He smiled imagining the shy expressions of his madrasan reading his text and left for his office smiling like an idiot
It was a busy day for both of them raman had some back to back meetings while ishita also had many patients so both could not talk to each other
Ishita returned home tired hoping to catch a glimpse of raman but failed adding to her disappointment but then she saw some preparations going on in the bhalla house and out of curiosity, she stepped inside and asked toshiji about the same who told her that it was karwachauth tomorrow so they were preparing for it
I-aunty what is karwachauth?
T-puttar it is a one day festival in which married women fast for the safety and longevity of their husbands it is a very difficult fast puttar as you cannot even drink water the whole day you can eat sargi before sunrise and then fast whole day the fast is broken after the moon rises and performing the pooja
I-aunty what is sargi
She enquired excitedly
T-puttar sargi usually contains some fruits, sweets and dry fruits
I-ok aunty
T-puttar you know whole day we enjoy a lot we apply mehndi to our hands all ladies perform pooja together
I-hmm...aunty can unmarried girls also fast on karwachauth?
T-haa puttar unmarried girls fast to get the desired husband
I-sachchi aunty...you get your desired husband if you fast
Toshiji smiled and nodded her head caressing her cheeks
Ishita got happy hearing this and nodded her head excitedly and observing all the preparation going on for a while got up from there
I-ok aunty I should go now amma must be getting worried actually I came here directly from clinic
T-haa puttar jaa otherwise that madrasan would again start fighting with me that I am stealing her daughter from her
I(st)-that is what I exactly want aunty...steal me from my amma for you..your house and your son
Ishita smiled at her and left taking her blessing mentally preparing herself for fasting the next day but decided not to tell raman anything about it as she knew raman would not let her fast so she decided to keep it a secret from all and surprise him in the evening
She chatted with raman for a while in the night like their daily routine but slept early than usual which surprised him but he shrugged it off thinking she must be tired
The next morning ishita woke up early, before the sunrise and sneaked into the kitchen to get some fruits for herself and taking them she again went back to her room
She had the fruits and two glasses of water and slept off for a while as she still had some time for her clinic
She woke up with the continuous calls of her amma and realised she had over slept and was running late she hurriedly got ready and ran out of the house ignoring amma's calls to have breakfast she was fasting today and she could not tell it to her obviously!!
She reached her clinic and had a sigh of relief her mobile showed seven missed calls from raman and she knew he would be angry as she had missed their morning meeting before leaving for work today but she knew how to woo him
She didn't call him whole day which angered him even more
In the evening, he entered his home in all angry ravan mode and went straight to his bedroom not caring about his mother's calls to have something he checked his phone for any text or call from her but there was none
On the other hand ishita was desperately waiting for the moon as now hunger was getting out of her control finally the moon arrived but alas she will have to wait for a little more as she can't do her rituals in front of all
She observed all the rituals from a corner and now calling ravan kumar to the terrace was the biggest question
She called him but he ignored her so she asked a kid from society to tell him that his mother is calling him on the terrace bribing the child with a chocolate
She herself went to the terrace getting ready with the needful and began waiting for him hiding behind the door
He entered the terrace calling for his mother and she quickly locked the door so that none can disturb them and raman realised it was all her plan to call him to the terrace
R(angrily)-let me go I don't wanna talk to you
I(in a sweet tone)-sorry baby I missed your calls actually I woke late today
R-and you were too busy to call me or even text me the whole day
He was about to leave but she held his hand
I-please na raman sorry
R(shrugging her hand)-I don't want to talk to you...let me go
I-ok go here I was fasting for you was hungry whole day paani bhi nahi piya and you are angry go even I don't wanna talk to you
Her statement mellowed his anger and he turned around
R(cupping her face)-you fasted today?
I-hmm
R-but why baby you don't have to do all this
I-raman I didn't do it because it is some ritual but because I wanted to do it for you so that you live long with me and moreover mummyji told that you get desired husband if you keep this fast
R-oho mummyji...madrasan to punjaban banti jaa rahi hai not bad BTW you will get me and only me as your husband you keep fasts or not
I(smiling)-even I don't want someone else
Raman pecked her forehead softly she began feeling dizzy due to the fast and was about to fall when raman held her and made her sit
R-what is this ishu...you shouldn't have fasted
I-but it was for your long life only
R-what would I do with my long life without you?
I-acha sorry now come break my fast I am hungry
R-bhukkad
She hit him softly before both got up and ishita did the rituals and raman made her drink water she bend down to touch his feet but he didn't let her instead pulled her in a hug and pecked her forehead lovingly
She smiled closing her eyes feeling his touch before she again took her place in his arms
"I love you" both mouthed in unison and smiled hitting their foreheads with the other softly relishing their moments of pure bliss
I-I am so glad I did the fast with all the rituals
She happily told him making him recall something he tore himself from her
R-one ritual is still left
I-what ritual? She asked confused as according to her, she had done everything as per the rituals only
R-wait I am coming
Saying so he rushed downstairs leaving her confused but she had no option than waiting for him.
