Albeli_26 it's ur birthday today
And here is a gift recreating an old memory that was my first dedication to u. Back then we didnt even know each other. U wer a generous reader and I was a new writer trying to gain the reader's attention. Who knew we would be this close today.
Yes we don't talk often these days owing to our personal commitments but we know that any day we speak we are on the same page, no complaints, no hard feelings whatsoever.
My dearest betu here is a small gesture from me on ur birthday and I hope it will bring back some amazing memories back to u.
Lot's of love sweetheart😚

 "Challenge Accepted"

Wooo the cheering, the clapping and whistling could be heard. It was making Ishita nervous. She pleaded Raman with her eyes that all this was not needed. The determined look in his eyes did not help but made her all the more nervous. She was fiddling with the corner of her Saree when suddenly Raman kneeled in front of her and started singing

Pehle Kabhi Na Humne Kaha
Lo Aaj Sanam Ye Kahte Hain

Wooo...another round of cheering and whistling...Ishita looked at Raman who was singing with  all honesty

Pehle Kabhi Na Humne Kaha
Lo Aaj Sanam Ye Kahte Hain

He held her hand in his and continued

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain
Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

Elephant size butterflies that flew freely in her stomach were giving her goosebumps. He had finally confessed and her heart started thudding louder and louder.

He repeated the lines still in same position

Pehle Kabhi Na Humne Kaha
Lo Aaj Sanam Ye Kahte Hain
Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

It was more like asking her I Love You. Do You Love Me Too?

She nodded her head assenting and hummed

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

Yeyyy! She could hear Ruhi jumping in victory.

He stood up. Cupped his hands for making a prayer and looked up saying

Sach Ho Gayi Dua

Apna Milan Hua

She brought her hand forward asking for a promise

Ab Na Kabhi Rahna Juda

Milke Chalo Wada Karo

He kept his hand on hers promising looking into her eyes

Chhup Jau Aankho Mein
Bas Jau Saanson Mein
Dhadkan Ki Hai Sada

The fear of separation that had gripped her the previous day came back to her as she kept a hand on her heart and said

Ek Pal Kabhi Jo Dur Hue
Dard Hajaro Sahte Hai

He grabbed her hand kept on his heart and sang

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

She reciprocated his feelings by repeating his actions and lines

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

He cupped her cheeks reassuring that he would never leave her

Honge Kabhi Hum Na Juda
Rag Rag Mein Lahu Banke Bahte Hain

She hugged him saying

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

He hugged her back

Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain

'Hurr hurr hurr' Toshiji beamed victoriously as IshRa finally confessed and broke the hug. Everyone clapped and cheered loudly.

Raman took out the bracelet that Ishita had gifted him from his pocket and said
"Ishita aaj ise apne hathon se pehnakar deal pakka seal kar do"

Ishita's expressions changed "Nahi Raman! Ye bracelet bahut manhoos hai. Jab se khareeda hai kuch na kuch bura ho raha hai" she spoke apprehensively.

"Nahi Ishita. Ye bracelet manhoos nahi hai bilkul tumhari tarah ziddi hai"

"Matlab?"
She asked unable to understand his words.

"Matlab ye ki is bracelet se mera waisa hi rishta hai jaisa tumse hai. Jab tum meri zindagi me ayi to mai tumhe khud se door karna chahta tha. Par jitna bhi door karta tum utne paas ati. Tumhe jitna todne ki koshish karta tum utna mazboot banti. Phir na chahte hue bhi jab tumhe apni zindagi me le aya, tab bhi tumse door rahne ki koshish ki. Jab chaha aur apnane ki koshish ki to meri majbooriyon ne tumse door kiya. Magar ab wada hai mai tumhe kabhi apne se door nahi jane doonga. Aur jab tak meri sansein chalengi ye bracelet mere hath me hoga. Isliye mai chahta hunke tum mujhe ise apne hathon se pehnao. Aur is baar no compromise, no complications"

Raman's honesty touched her. She silently took the bracelet and tied it around his wrist.

She smiled.

 
"Deal to Pakka hogaya. Ab contract bhi sign kar lein?"

"Contract?" She asked raising her eyes in confusion.
