Ishita will be pacing around in her room thinking about Raman. Raman goes to a coffee shop and sits there wondering what to do then. Just then he gets Mihir's call

"Bhai vo auntyji-" Mihir starts

"Ek kaam kar,tere Ghar ke paas jo cafe hai waha Aaja" Raman cuts the call


Mihir comes there "Bhai "

"Come sit Mihir" Raman orders

Mihir starts "Bhai voh auntyji -"

Mihika comes running there "You guys are here"

Mihika asks "Raman kya jadoo kar diya Ishu par?"

"Kyu" Mihir asks

"You know what she was asking me-" and mihika recites the whole incident.

Mihir again starts "Bhai suniye to aun-"

Just then Raman's phone rings. Raman gets excited and shows MiMi - Ishita's caller ID. He picks up the phone and puts it on speaker. Ishita: "Raman, where are you"

Raman "One-minute Ishita...Aap comfortable rahiye.Ek important call hai"

Raman tells mihika to speak. She speaks faking her voice "Ji Raman Ji I'll wait"

Ishita "Nothing. Your meeting is over?"

"Almost done. You need something?"

"Yes. I wanna meet you."

"Okay. Meet me in 15 near the coffee shop near Mihir's house."


Raman was almost dancing "You both go. I want to spend some private moments with my to-be girlfriend"

"Sambhal ke. kuch panga nahi karna " mihika warned him.

MiMi left and Ishita came there. Raman posed as though he was busy on the phone. She came and touched his shoulder. He kept the phone "I'll call you later. Hi Ishita"

"Hey. Let's sit" she pointed towards the chairs. She sat there fidgeting her dupatta. He asked "So"

"So. Why did you want to meet me?' he repeated

"Kya karu.boldu...nahi...pochti hoon pehle...par kaise"

"Kuch kaha tumne"

She gave him a blank expression. And told "Ghar Chalo"

"But now only you came here"

"Mujhe ghar jaana hai Raman"

"Okay" he led her to his car. "Tumhari car mihir pick kar lega"

Raman stole silent glances of ishita from his driver seat. Things were getting awkward between them. Both wanted to break the silence but couldn't. Finally, Raman gave up, "Looking beautiful" 

She blushed beet red and replied "Thanks".Seeing her blush, Raman's confidence boosted up and somehow he again entered his earlier stage and thought of teasing her a bit "Aaj jo ladki aayi thi na,kitni khoobsorat thi"

"Matlab?"

"Matlab Jaise ki mere liye hi bani huvi ho. Mere saare favourites uski be hai yaar"

Ishita faked a smile and tied her hairs to a bun. Raman smirked at that sight. She always did that when she was jealous of somebody. They reached Ishita's house. It started raining heavily all of sudden. Raman continued "ladki acchi thi"

"Sacchi?" she questioned softly

Raman spoke "Haan yaar bahot acchi thi"

Ishita felt angry. She got down from the car. She was angry on Raman and that girl too. But she didn't know the reason for it. She would know it only when it existed. There was no specific reason. Was it because Raman praised that girl or because he liked her. She just stood there in rain trying to find some answers and to justify her anger. Raman got down and walked to her.

"Ishita listen"

She stopped him "Usko tumhari zaroorat hai"

"No, Ishita, look"

"Acchi ladki hai na. Then marry her and leave me alone"

"When did I catch you to leave you?"

"I'm not joking here"

"Main bhi konsa joke maar raha hoon idhar"

"Raman you're just...You're just. Rehne do I don't wanna speak to you"

He caught her by her arms and asked "Kyu"

"Chodo mujhe, Raman"

"Tell me why" he ordered

"Not interested" she rolled her eyes

"In me or telling me," he asks

"In both "

"But your eyes tell me that they are interested in me" he continues

"Jhoot. What bakwas"

"Jhoot nahi sacch. You're jealous"

"I'm not"

"Tum jal rahi ho ki main kisi aur ki taareef kar raha hoon" he smirks

She broke his grip from her arms and shouted "I Love You, Raman because I Love you"

He smiled and replied "I Love You too, Ishita"

She hugged him. It was raining heavily. They didn't care about it. They were so much immersed in that hug that a strong thunder separated them. Raman lifted up Ishita in his arms.

Ishita asked "Phir voh ladki"

"Kaonsi" Raman asked

"Wahi jo tumse milne aayi thi"

"Koi nahi aaya tha"

"Matlab?"

"Koi ladki nahi hai Ishita.Bas ek drama tha tume apne pyaar ka izhaar karne ke liye"

"Aww" she hit in his chest and spread her arms around his shoulder. They both moved forward to kiss. They were just inches apart. Raman backed himself.  Ishita asked "Kya Huva Raman?"

Raman holds Ishita's hand tightly and says "I'm sorry Ishita I'm really sorry" leaving Ishita totally confused.
