Ishita's smile faded off all of a sudden. She expected Raman to slap her and say "I love you woman!" and embrace her. "What if he doesn't love me? My fault for having such expectations from him! He never loved me, if he did, he would have confessed! He forgot me. He forgot everything", she said to herself.
There she started overthinking. As usual🙄Someone needs to explain to her that high expectations lead to great disappointments. Her mood was out for the rest of the day.
Raman's mood went off too. He wanted to make the conversation longer, but he realized things weren't the same anymore. He expected a lot from her. He thought she'll be the one breaking down into tears confessing her love for him, when even he didn't have enough courage to do so. He huffed in anger. And yet, he calls himself a man😂Truly amazing! Raman, you don't know how strong of a woman Ishita is. Not just strong, but a sassy one too😏
Ishita went home after school and started doing what she's good at-overthinking. "He started the conversation, means he wants to talk to me, means he misses me!"
Bhalla Residence
Raman was pissed. He didn't have a good appetite for dinner. So he skipped dinner and went to his room. Simmi followed him few minutes later. She peeked into his room as the door wasn't shut properly.
Raman was already fast asleep wit his laptop beside him. His laptop was open with a girl's Facebook profile. Simmi got shocked a bit, seeing his little brother trying to stalk a girl. When she squint her eyes to see who was that lucky girl, she saw a familiar name. Ishita Iyer, it read. Simmi didn't know Ishita personally, but she generally knew that she was a nice girl. Simmi had followed Toshi to drop Ishita home after tuition when Raman and Ishita were still in 6th grade. She saw Raman moving the laptop curser to the 'Add Friend' and then away. She understood what was running on his mind, and she walked away smiling.
Iyer Residence
Ishita lied down on her bed tiredly as she was tired of overthinking too. Such a weak person she is🙄😂She didn't eat much for dinner too. Her laptop and iPad were both on the bed beside her. She logged into Facebook in her laptop. She searched for 'Raman Bhalla'. She was lucky enough, his profile was quite public. She saw his Relationship Status. 'It's complicated', it read. She guessed that he fixed that status because of her. She quickly clicked 'Add Friend' without hesitating even a bit. I have to say, Ishita has more courage than the egoistic Raman Bhalla😂
She, being the stalker, or to be nice I'll say investigator, started scrolling down his timeline. He saw that he posted a picture via Instagram. She understood that Raman had an Instagram account. Obviously he does Ishita🙄
She unlocked her iPad, went to the AppStore to install the Instagram app. Since she didn't have Instagram, she was determined to create one. On the spot. She entered the required details as fast as possible. Finally, her Instagram account was finally created.
She was so excited! She entered 'ramanbhalla' in the search. She didn't see what she searched for, but saw something else. There was a profile under the name of 'ramanbhalla30' with a familiar profile picture. She opened that account. To her luck, again, Raman's account was public! She wanted to scream in excitement, but she didn't, as she would wake up the others.
She clicked 'FOLLOW' and started scrolling down. She saw a hot and handsome figure standing in front of the Taj Mahal. It was her Ravan Bhalla😍😍He looked dashing at her favorite place, although she's never been there She always wanted to though.
Saturday 4.00am
Ishita was still scrolling down Raman's Facebook and Instagram profiles. Man she never got tired looking at the love of her life right? Yeah, how could she? He belongs to her. Only her. No one else. She proved that she's the daughter of Vishwanathan Iyer by being overprotective😂No DNA test required😂
Saturday 5.30am
She had finished scrolling down Raman's profiles. She found out Raman's entire family background. His parents, sister, cousins, uncles, aunts, she knew everyone's names. And she even knew where some of them stayed. Told you she's a professional stalker😒
Her eyes were all sore because she was focusing on the screens too long. She dint regret pulling up an all-nighter. It was for her Raman anyways😏She logged out, shut down her laptop, locked the iPad and put them on her study table. She set passwords for all her devices, because she didn't want invaders to know that she's an investigator, not a stalker. I mean, who wants to reveal their other side, right?
She lied on her bed. Without her knowledge, her thoughts started drifting away. She started imagining romantic scenarios that she wants to go though in life with Raman.
Them getting married,
super romantic first night,
and having children😍
Her brain told her to stop having the slightest thought that all this scenarios will actually even happen in reality. All this is highly impossible, as Raman turned into an egoistic person. Not a person anymore. He's a beast. He's not perfect. He smokes and drinks. He's killing himself.
Her heart ignored the brain. As usual🙄Her heart told her to continue, as beautiful things take time. He's worth waiting for. He's perfectly imperfect. He's beautiful the way he is. No need to change anymore.
Ishita is a sentimental person, is say she's just mental though. She chose her heart's advice over her brain's, for the nth time.
Now she just hoped that Raman will add her back on social media, so she can investigate more about his family. She has such a criminal mind smh. And of course about how he was doing in 7th grade. She forgot he existed back then😂Well it wasn't her fault. Or was it?🤷🏻♀️
While continuing to imagine those beautifully romantic scenarios, she eventually fell asleep. Oh Ishita, don't you think this is way too much? He just said few words and you're overthinking? Do you think he'll fall in love because you added him on social media? How silly right?
Will Raman add her back on social media? (Stupid question I know😅😂)
Will Ishita's investigation go down the drain?
To be continued😏
Part 4 coming soon😊
Love,
Maya🌺
