Hi Everyone!
I am back from a refreshing Easter cum Birthday getaway! I have a lot of backlog to catch up with both at work and home so haven't been able to sit down and write much. Looking at my schedule I don't think I will be able to able to complete the next chapter this week but hopefully I will be able to get some good writing done over the weekend and perhaps finish the chapter early next week- again not making any promises but just setting a target for myself!
Until then here is a short teaser of the upcoming chapter:
Raman sits on the sofa, opens the newspaper and pretends to be engrossed in reading it when Pihu walks in holding Ishita's hand.
Pihu: Good morning Papa!
Raman looks up from the newspaper with a smile, while Pihu frees her hand from Ishita and runs to give Raman a quick hug and kiss on his cheek. Raman smiles and lovingly kisses Pihu back!
Raman: Good morning Princess! Papa bus tumhe uthane aane hi wale the!
Ishita: Kal se aap hi uthaya karo apni Princess ko! Mere saath toh khub nakhre karti hai uthne mein!
Pihu: Hauh Ishimaa maine kaha nakhre kiye? Main toh good girl hun!
Raman: Pihu yeh Ishimaa kaisa nam hai?
Pihu: Oh ho Papa! Ishita Mumma ka short form Ishimaa! Special name for special people!
Raman: Hmmm....
Pihu: Kyun Papa Ishimaa special nahi hai kya?
Raman (sarcastically): Of course special hai. One of a kind!
Ishita senses the sarcasm in Raman's voice and rolls her eyes at him! She then opens her suitcase and starts taking out her clothes for the day.
Pihu: Ishimaa, aapne apna saman abhi tak suitcase se unpack karke wardrobe mein kyun nahi rakha?
Without waiting for her to answer, Pihu goes to the wardrobe, opens it and looks at Raman with an annoyed expression!
Pihu: What is this Papa?!?
Raman: Kya hua Pihu?!?
Pihu: Aapne Ishimaa ke saman ke liye jagah kyun nahi banaya?!?
Raman: Ummmmm.....
Ishita: Pihu, main kal hi toh aai hun beta! Papa ko mauka nahi mila na...
Raman thinks that he must do something before Ishita gets another chance to show him down in front of Pihu.
Raman: Kya Ishita, bhul jati ho tum sab! Maine kal hi kaha tha ki main wardrobe mein jagah bana deta hun par tum sunne ko tayar hi nahi thi.
Ishita: Aapne... mujhse... kab kaha tha exactly?!?
Raman winks at Ishita while she looks at him with disbelief. He smirks at her and starts rearranging his things in the wardrobe.
Raman (sarcastically):Pihu tumhari Ishimaa ko budhapa jaldi aa raha hai lagta hai! Baatein bhulne lagi hai! You are actually right Princess! Suitcase mein kapde acche thodi lagenge?!? Humein wardrobe share karna chahiye jaise sare married couples karte hai!
Ishita: Raman aap rehne do. Main kar lungi....
Raman: Dusre mere saman ko hath lagaye mujhe pasand nahi hai...
Pihu: Hauh Papa! Ishimaa koi dusri thodi hai!
Raman ignores Pihu and quickly works around the wardrobe annoyed by the fact that he has to share his room, his wardrobe, his bathroom and even his daughter's love with Ishita! He then turns to Ishita gesturing his hand towards the vacant space in the wardrobe, then sits down on the sofa, burying his face behind the newspaper once again! Pihu looks at the small space Raman has made for Ishita and sits on the bed looking disappointed.
Ishita: Kya hua Pihu?
Pihu shakes her head indicating nothing.
Ishita: Bolo na Pihu kya hua?
Pihu: Ishimaa bus itni jagah mein aap kaise manage karoge? Yeh toh apka aadha saman bhi nahi hai. Patti ke yahan aapka kitna saman rakha hua hai.
Raman is about to say something but before he can get a word in, Ishita sits next to Pihu and to Raman's utter surprise she defends him.
Ishita: Itni si jagah thodi hai yeh Pihu. Pata hai kal Papa ne mujhse kya kaha tha...unhone kaha tha ki tum na Ishita puri wardrobe le lo... par mujhe kya zaroorat hai itne jagah ki...thode se toh kapde hain...
Pihu: Par jab aapka baki saman ayega toh...
Ishita (sarcastically): Pucho papa se...unhone promise kiya hai ki main jitini jagah chahun le sakti hun...
Pihu looks up at Raman with expectant eyes...
Raman (sarcastically): Haan Pihu! Princess ki Ishimaa jaisa chanengi waisa hi hoga!
Ishita: Ok, ab baatein bahut ho gai. Pihu go quickly brush and shower. Main jaldi se fresh hoke aati hun phir tumhe school ke liye ready kar dungi and bag pack bhi karna hai, aur phir breakfast bhi khana hai na.
Pihu nods and hurriedly runs out of the room. Once she leave Ishita looks at Raman with an annoyed expression.
Ishita: Yeh kya nautanki thi?!?
Raman speaks without looking up from the newspaper.
Raman: Jo kiya Pihu ke liye kiya maine. Aakhein hai na tumhari? Wardrobe mein khali jagah dikh raha hai na- ab usme tum chahe toh apna saman thuso ya khud baith ke usme band ho jao... I don't care!
So there you have it! What do you think Ishita should do to make room in Raman's heart just like she has in Raman's room? Share your thoughts and ideas by dropping a comment!
I hope to be able to publish the entire chapter sometime next week. However if I am unable to finish it by then I shall make sure that it is uploaded next weekend for certain.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
Love and Hugs,
A.S.
