"Tere chakkar me hum bhi shaheed hogaye. Bekar me humein bhi isme ghaseeta tune. Ab hogaya na syappa" Toshiji blamed Raman.
"Mujhe kya pata tha ke Ishita aur naraz hojayegi. Mujhe to laga tha ke thoda dil khush kar dunga uska to maaf kar degi"
"Tujhe zarurat hi kya thi use satane ki. Agar pehle hi usko naraz na kiya hotha to aaj ye sab karne ki zarurat hi nahi padti" Simmi accused him further.
"Thodi badmashi ki itni badi saza milegi ye kise patha tha. Ab chalo ghar chalke dekhte hain ke Jhansi Ki Rani ko kaise manana hai" Raman decided to leave.
"Is baar humse koi ummed math rakhna" Vandu & Bala clearly said.
"Haan bhai! Is baar khud hi nipat lo" Mihir said and Mihika agreed.
"Apni badmashi me hum nadan logon ko math ghaseeto. Jo karna hai khud karo" Mrs. Iyer lifted her hands too.
Raman was baffled. Everyone started moving away leaving him to deal with it all alone. Raman was left with no option but to leave the place too.
Thode Badmash Ho Tum
They stopped mid-way when they heard a melodious voice echo in the hall.
Thode Nadan Ho Tum
Raman turned around to find the source of the voice.
A spotlight brightened the stage showing Ishita holding the mic in her hand who was singing looking at Raman.
Raman stood rooted to his spot. He was still in a daze if she was really there. She walked towards him and slapped him saying
Thode Badmash Ho Tum
This broke his trance. Next moment her hands were on his cheek caressing the spot where she had just slapped
Thode Nadan Ho Tum
He was unable to comprehend what was going on. She went around him and said
Haan Magar Yeh Sach Hai
Hamari Jaan Ho Tum
Raman smiled fully seeing the admiration in her eyes for him.
The others smiled too on realizing that Ishita had been playing around. They quickly took their seats as they were now enthralled to know what's coming next.
Raman pulled Ishita towards him as she started walking away.
Her breath hitched at their proximity
Meri Saanson Ki Jhankar Ho Tum
She slowly pushed him away, dangled the bangles in her hand
Mera Solah Shringar Ho Tum
She looked into his eyes with all the love she harboured for him confessing
Meri Aankhon Ka Intezar Ho Tum
She now pointed towards him
Meri Emaan Meri Shaan
Mera Maan Ho Tum
He raised his eyebrows
"Sach? Mai nahi manta"
He said teasing her.
She pulled one of his ears
Thoda Beimaaan Ho Tum
Thode Shaitaan Ho Tum
She left his ear, held his hand and said
Haan Magar Yeh Sach Hai
Hamari Jaan Ho Tum
Raman and Ishita were lost in each other's eyes.
Romi rushed towards the music player and played the song that broke the reverie.
Ek Nadi Ke Donon
Ek Nadi Ke Donon
Jaise Kinare hain
Ek Nadi Ke Donon
Ishita blushed and bowed down. Raman lifted her chin with his left index finger (I personally love this gesture of Raman), made her look into his eyes "Tho...Maaf kar diya?"
"Nahi kiya hota toh yeh
gaana thodi na gaathi" she stated the obvious.
"Achha? Actually tumne itna besura gaaya to mai doubt me agaya" he said biting his lower lip. Oh how much he loved to annoy her!
She hit his chest saying "Badmash"
Saath Saath Rehna Hai
Roothna Manaana Hai
Ye Kaisi Hai Ladaayi
"Wo to mai hun. Agar badmashi na karta to tumhara gaana sunne ko nahi milta na" He said honestly.
"Par kya fayda? Gaana to besura tha na" She said with fake annoyance.
"Haaye meri Jhansi Ki Rani! Jab chidti ho to aur khoobsurat lagti ho"
Ek Dor Bandhe Hai
Ek Dor Kheenche Hai
Hothi Nahi Hai Judaayi
"Flirt kar rahe ho mere sath?"
"Itne bhi bure din nahi aye mere ke mai tum se flirt karun"
"Sudhroge nahi na aap. Hamesha taana marna zaruri hai na"
"Ab kya karein meri Jhansi Ki Rani ko to Kadva Karela hi pasand hai. To sudharna chahun bhi to nahi sudhar saktha"
Ek Duje Se Hai Shikayatein
Phir Bhi Sang Hain
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
"Dekho na Mihir. Akka aur Jiju kitna cutely ladte hain" Mihika could not hold her excitement anymore.
Ishita then realized that they had enough spectators around and she should to put a full-stop to their PDA "Aap log abhi tak yahan kya kar rahe hain. Show khatam hogaya. Chaliye ghar chalte hain" she turned to move.
"Ek minute Ishita. I am not done yet"
Said Raman making her halt.
