IshRa FF|| Tum Mile Toh Jeena Aa Gaya

5) Hatred

It took Ishita an hour to reach home with her punctured cycle because she found RKB and his group on the way, they laughed at her and teased her. Her house was far from school and her cycle wasn't cooperating either.

When she finally reached her apartment,she rushed into the lift. Thank god, no one was there. She tried calming her breaths and trying to hide her puffy eyes.

Once the lift opened, She rushed to her home. When Mrs. Iyer opened the door, she rushed to her room instead of answering Mrs. Iyer's questions.

She closed her room's door and threw away her bag. She jumped on her bed and started crying hugging her pillow.

She shouldn't have kept that diary in her bag but she doubted that Mrs. Iyer would read it as she cleans up her room everyday.

"I hate you Raman.. I hate you so much",she murmurs between her cries before falling asleep.

****

Raman reached home and he parks his bicycle. He gets down and picks up his bag, walking inside.

He enters his home only to he greeted by his mother's popular Aloo Parathas.

He throws his bag on the sofa and sits down and starts eating only to earn a smack on his head.

"Oye khotiye! How many times have I told you to first wash your hands then eat"

"Maa you make such good Parathas that I can't control myself.. You are the best cook"

Mrs. Bhalla blushes at his words.

"Okay okay fine! Stop buttering me and go first wash hands."

Raman makes faces but then goes and washes his hands.

He returns back to the dining table and starts eating his lunch.

"So how was your school?"

"A bad day!"

"Why? What happened?"

"At first! A new girl slapped me and yelled at me in front of the whole crowd then she turned out to be my partner and then I took revenge by holding her wrist so tight that it turned blue.. She took her revenge by shutting the door at my wrist.."

"You took revenge by hurting her wrist? I taught you how to respect girls right?"

Raman looks at his mother with a frown. Did she just hear that part? What about her son getting hurt?

"Uss kudi ka naam toh bata"
(

Tell that girl's name)

"Ishita"

"Hayee kinna sona naam hai"
(Such a beautiful name)

"Maa!"

"Accha accha tu or paratha le..ye le", Mrs Bhalla spoke while placing another paratha on his plate.
(Okay okay.. You take more parathas..take)

"Accha ye bata.. Tune kiya kya jo usne tujhe thappad maar diya?"
(Okay but tell me one thing... What did you do that made her slap you?)
