It's been two weeks since Siddharth went back to Delhi. Two weeks, 14 days, 336 hours.
For those two it felt like two long years. They talked every night before going to bed. They messaged all through the day. But still, they longed for each other's presence, each other's touch.
Both of them were slowly acknowledging these new feelings toward each other. Slowly they realised that a mere stranger was now becoming their top priority, even before themselves. Slowly they are accepting the fact 'ki jodiyaa shayad upar se hi bankr aati hai.'
We eventually find the one we are meant to be with.
Siddhartha nowadays is very busy with his office work. He was in between an important project when his grandfather ordered him to come to Jaipur. However, after meeting Ishika, he does not regret the sudden holiday. He is very grateful to his Dadu and can't thank him enough in words for fixing his arranged marriage to an angel.
But still, due to this impromptu trip, he had loads of paperwork stacked on his table and numerous meetings lined up, all waiting for his attention.
In these two weeks, he hardly had time for lunch, unless he was having a lunch meeting. He might not have had two meals a day but made sure to talk to his angel at least twice daily.
Worried about the health of her workaholic son, today while talking to Ishika, his mom mentioned her son's careless food habits.
It was lunchtime now, and Ishika called her fiance. Normally it was Sid who always called her. So when he fished his ringing phone, which was buried deep under the sea of files, he was surprised to see the name of the caller.
Sid- Hello Angel. Aaj humari yaad kese aayi. I hope everything is fine.
(Hello angel. You called me today. I hope everything is fine.)
Ishu- Nothing is fine Sid.
Sid- What's wrong Ishu? You sound angry.
Ishu- No Siddharth I am not angry, I am furious.
(Sid realised that the matter was serious when his Ishu called him Siddharth instead of Sidd.)
Sid- achha first tell me what's the matter then I promise to sort it out for you baby.
Ishika blushed at the endearment but tried her best to not let it affect her.
Ok so it affected her a lot and her red cheeks were the proof but she made sure that Sidd didn't notice that.
Sid- Ishu are-
He was interrupted by a knock on his office door and entered by his assistant Miss Ashi Sharma. She informed him about his meeting which was in 10 minutes.
"Please cancel it Ashi, and make sure no one disturbs me until I say otherwise."
"Sure sir." Miss Ashi left her boss to deal with his fiancee.
Ishu- Wait she is your assistant na. Give her the phone, I want to talk to her.
Sid- what do you want to talk to her Ishu?
Ishu- I am already furious, Sid, so give her the phone. NOW.
Sid- Okay Meri Sherni, wait a second.
Siddharth called Mrs Ashi back and handed her the phone. Ashi was very confused.
After finishing the conversation, she handed the phone back to her boss and left his office before she could be interrogated.
Sid- What do you both talk about?
Ishu- that doesn't concern you Mr Rathore. But you know I am so mad at you.
Sid- what happened angel, tell me what I did to hurt you.
Ishika could hear the concern worry and other emotions in his voice.
Ishu- you lied to me and cheated on me.
Sid- WHAT. Ishu, I would never do that. I never thought about anyone other than you. I swear on my life angel. In fact, these two weeks were so hectic that I hardly slept for more than four hours.
(Tch tch tch.
Poor Sid because the last sentence made Ishika more infuriated.)
Ishu- You were so busy Mr Siddharth Singh Rathore that you hardly had any food, hardly slept and hardly kept your promises to me.
Sidd you promised me to take care of yourself. To have your food on time and not more than 2 coffees a day.
(Now Sidd realised his mistake. He knew he was guilty as charged.)
Sid- I am sorry Ishu. Please forgive me this time. I promise to not be careless in future. It was just because of this project that I was working on. I am truly sorry baby. I won't repeat it. Don't be mad at me, please.
(please, sorry, thank you. Not something you often get to hear from the Siddharth Singh Rathore. Indeed His angel has him wrapped around her little finger.)
Ishu- okay Siddharth it's fine I forgive you but from today, even I will not have lunch. Let's skip it together.
Sid- no Ishu, I dare you to skip your meals. I will come right away to Jaisalmer to feed you.
Ishu- I just proposed the idea of me skipping meals and you got this angry, so think about me, when I found out that you hardly have slept or ate in the past two weeks. Think how I would have felt. Put yourself in my shoes Sid.
Sid- I understand you, Ishu. I am sincerely sorry.
Ishu- You'll be punished, Mr. Rathore.
Sid- हुकूम आपका था जो मैंने न माना
खतावार हूँ मैं ना आया निभाना
सज़ा जो भी दोगी वो मँज़ूर होगी
अजी मेरी मुश्किल अभी दूर होगी
Whatever you want angel.
Ishika blushed and giggled listening to Sidd's cheesy song. She never imagined Sid doing this stuff. Honestly, it was too cute.
Ishu- you can't lessen your punishment by being cute Mr Rathore.
Sid- One can only try Miss Maheswari. But I am happy that at least I got to hear your melodious giggles. It's my favourite music, I tell you.
Ishu- Now as your punishment, you will send me a picture of your breakfast and dinner daily. Whereas for lunch, I'll make sure you eat in front of my eyes. So Facetime me and we'll have lunch together. I won't have lunch until you call me, remember that.
Sid- Having a virtual lunch date with you every day is not a punishment baby.
By the way, when I saw you calling me, I was too happy then through the call I was scared, nervous, guilty, angry, guilty again then finally happy again. It was a rollercoaster.
Ishu- nothing you didn't deserve. Now call your assistant and put me on speaker.
Sid- Jo hukkum mere aaka.
(your order my command, madame)
(Sid called Ashi again. She came holding a package in her hands.)
Ashi is here and you are on speaker Ishu.
Ishu- hi Ashi you got what I asked for?
Ashi- yes ma'am.
Ishu- Thank you so much Ashi and please call me Ishika. And can I please request another favour from you?
Ashi- Please don't thank me Ishika ma'am, I just did my job. And feel free to tell me whatever I can help you with.
Ishu- Ashi make sure you don't get your boss more than 2 coffees a day and inform me anytime he pulls an all-nighter in his office. This is my phone number xxxxxxxxxx
Ashi- Sure, Ma'am.
Ishu- Thanks Ashi you may go.
(Ashi placed the bag in front of Siddharth and left the office. While Ishika also disconnected the call.)
Confused Sid opened the bag. It was a Rajma Chawal takeaway from his favourite restaurant. He quickly Facetimed Ishu.
Ishu also opened her lunch.
They both together had their lunch with a lot of talking, teasing and flirting.
