IshRa and MiMi, Romi, Rinki, Simmi sit on the couch.

Mihika "Ishu - Uncle, Aunty kab aayenge"

Ishita "Don't know yaar. Shayad 2-3 days me"

Romi asks curiously "Accha bhai, you never told us how you both met first"

Ishita smiles "Maine bataya tha na issne gaana gaaya tha mere liye"

Mihir and Mihika sing "Tera dhyaan kidhar hai yeh tera hero idhar hai" and share a hi-fi

Raman "Shut up"

Simmi says "We know this but when did you introduce yourselves"

Ishita smiles "In class"

*Flashback*

Ishita and Mihika were sitting together in class and chatting. Raman and Mihir enter. Mihika waves her hand to Mihir. Mihir occupies one bench and looks at Mihika. Mihika looks at Raman who says by mouth action "You go" Mihika runs there beside Mihir and sits leaving Ishita startled.

It was two-seater benches there. Raman occupied bench beside Ishita. Ishita moved a bit aside. Raman kept his belongings on the desk, Ishita still moved aside. Raman looked at her "Aur mat jayiye gir jaayengi"

Ishita "Huh?" she looked around the class for any empty benches so that she could shift there. She didn't find any. She thought of exchanging her place with someone but at the same time, the teacher entered the class. She was left with no option but to sit beside him because she didn't want to create a scene on her first day in college. The teacher began the lecture. Raman yawned, drew in his books and finally gathered courage and spoke up "Who are you?"

"Excuse me"

"I mean aapka naam kya hai"

"Aapse Matlab"

"No,saath baite hai. So, let's be friends"

Ishita gave an I-am-not-interested look and started making notes.

Raman extended his arms "Raman Bhalla"

She gave him a glare and then finally "Ishita Iyer"

Raman "Where are you from?"

Ishita "Delhi"

Raman "You're from Delhi but you're an Iyer"

Ishita "Where are you from?"

Raman "Mumbai"

Ishita "You're Punjabi and you're in Mumbai"

Raman became quiet. He turned behind and was talking to some girls there. Ishita gave a disgusted look and concentrated on her notes. Suddenly the teacher pointed "Mr Bhalla can you answer this question?"

"Which?" Raman stood up

"You seem to be a bit busy. This problem on the board"

Raman stared at it blankly. Ishita pushed her notes towards him. He looked down as though he was remembering and saw the answer. He answered it correctly.

"Impressive. Take your seat Mr Bhalla" teacher replied

The bell rang and Ishita left immediately. Raman ran behind her "suno tho, Ishita"

She turned back.

Raman "I'm sorry. I thought you were Ishita. What's your name - Sonia, Tania"

Ishita "Ishita"

Raman "That's what. I wanted to tell thank you"

Ishita "For what?"

Raman "For helping me"

Ishita "I didn't do it for you, mister. I did it for myself"

Raman "Oh. Can you elaborate?"

Ishita "You were sitting with me. I didn't want the teacher to have the wrong impression about us. So" she walked away"

*End of flashback*

Simmi "But you both didn't become friends "

Raman "We became but slowly"

Romi "Kaise"

Ishita "Yeh do love birds ne karaya humara friendship" pointing MiMi

Raman "I was Mihir's friend and Ishita Mihika's. So all four of us would hang out together. this two would leave us and go for a date, long-drives and all"

Ishita "Phir humne Socha strangers se friends ban jaate hai"

Raman "And slowly we became friends"

Rinki "accha"

Simmi "pehele tho Hamara Raman ka weakness sui tha ab shayad kuch aur hai. Kyu Ishita"

Ishita "Kya simmi, kuch bhi"

Simmi "Seriously Ishita. jab se kisi ki entry huvi hai bhai ki life me tab se tho Tashan hi tashan"

Rinki "Kiska entry"

Mihika "tune maari entriyaan re dil me bhaji ghantiyan"

Ishita "Shut up miku"

Mihir "Waise Ishita ki halath kab buri hoti hai?"

Mihika "Jab yeh raman se door hoti hai. Kyu"

Raman "Nahi, tab jab yeh talli hoti hai"

Ishita "Raman"

Raman "Phir kya. Ek baar isne maar li had se zyaada and" he looked at Ishita. She was looking nervous

Rinki "And bhai?"

Raman "And mujhe bhaga-bhaga ke maara tha"

Romi "Aur"

Raman "Aur aur ke bacche main kya yaha dadaji lagta hoon jo kahaniyan bata ta phire.jaa jake aaram kar. Vaise kab aaye tum sab"

Rinki "Jab aap yaha se ishu di ke saath gaye"

Everyone left the hall one by one except Ishra. Raman was about to leave, Ishita caught his hand and pulled him back "Shaadi se Pehle I don't do this dear"

"Shut up Raman. Main kab tumko maara"

Raman smirks "You'd rather me tell the real story of our first kiss. Main kya soch raha hoon tumhe ek aur baar pila doon"

Ishita rolled her eyes "Raman..."

"Ek minute. Main kuch bhool gaya"

"Yeh" he took out a beautiful ring from his pocket.

He stood on his knees, held her hand "You want to marry me, my lady"

"Yes...yes" she blushed

He slid the ring into her finger. Raman "Tum bhi maan gayi. Vandu aaka se bhi yes. Ab sirf Amma-Appa ki baari"
