Stolen Moments
A/N: Hey there everyone! I'm back with a new fic. This will be a couple of moments when our madly in love couple are disturbed or caught by all the wrong people at all the wrong times. I've posted the first two characters, but they are exactly based on the canon version of Saturday's episode and the upcoming track.
Not keeping you'll long now,
Happy Reading! :D
Ranveer tucked up her saree in place, while she stood there, shivering at the innocent touch of his fingers on her waist. He looked incredibly handsome and attractive in a seductive sort of way with the way he had that pic caught between his lips, while he circled around her like a tiger, his eyes drinking in her sight greedily.
The moment seemed prolonged, as Ranveer made his last adjustment with her pallu and looked at her. Ishaani stared at him transfixed, as his eyes tore right away in her soul, staring at her as though there was no tomorrow, no other moment. His faced tipped ever so slightly towards her, unsure of what should he do. He knew she wouldn't mind, that they had both been wanting this for quite some time, but he would never do anything without her consent.
Ishaani however, gazed at him even more intently as she saw the slight tip of his face towards hers. She, in turn, tipped her face upwards, a sign that she was ready. But before anything could happen, a voice cut through.
Parul's.
"Bhabhi woh... uh, sorry!" Parul turned her face away, embarrassed by what she had interrupted, while Ranveer and Ishaani split up, making sure not to make eye contact in the process, guilty as though there were being caught in some wrong doing.
"Lagta hai main galat time pe aa gayi. Par main sirf who bolne aayi thi ki Zaveri ji aaye hai aur woh aap dono ko neeche bula rahe hai, toh aap dono... neeche aa jaye." Parul spoke fast enough and straight to the point, while she gave a sly smile to the couple.
"Haan hum aate hai, tum jaao." Ranveer managed to shoo her away quickly.
"Haan." Giving a smirk to Ranveer, Parul quickly disappeared from the scene. Ranveer looked at the place where Parul had been some moments back and shook his head.
Ishaani started playing with her pallu absent-mindedly before she realized that Ranveer was staring at her. Giving him an innocent look though her eyes spoke otherwise, she fidgeted with her pallu for one last time before Ranveer spoke.
"Chalein?" Ishaani nodded her head quickly, afraid that she may have been expecting too much, but as Ranveer walked ahead of her, she could have sworn that she had seen him smirk.
Smiling as the realization of the sweet moment washed over her, she followed suit while one though crossed her mind.
It could have been worse.
It could have been Amba.
Ranveer and Ishaani were resting on the bed, with Ranveer's head on Ishaani's lap. Ranveer had arranged the pillows on the bed of his room in such a way that it would look as though he was asleep, so that no one would come looking for him or pry around Ishaani. Ishaani caressed his head lovingly, while they just stared at each other, lost in the unbounded realms of each other's eyes and satiated with the silence around them.
Ranveer had finally confessed what he felt truly for Ishaani and she had accepted it without even a doubt. He still felt that she accepted him too quickly, he had wronged her in ways that were shameful as a friend, but may be sometimes letting it go was all one could do. Ishaani, on the other hand, felt herself to be complete. Whole. As though some part of her's had been incomplete all this time and she was now completed by Ranveer's presence.
But Ishaani still had pressing matters on her hand. She was happy that Ranveer had finally accepted her and that he had never truly given up on her, but there were still a lot of things to be done.
"Ranveer?"
"Hmmm?" Ranveer looked at her dazed, but it quickly turned into a look of concern as he saw concern and worry etched on her face. "Kya hua Ishaani?"
"Ranveer, woh divorce papers..."
"Unka kya?" Ishaani expected Ranveer to get hurt. Maybe even walk away. Instead, just just propped himself up on his elbows and looked at her.
"Ranveer hum dono ne toh faisla kar diya ki humein ab divorce nahi chahiye, par kya tumhein lagta hai ki humaare families iss decision se khush honge?" When Ranveer cocked his eyebrow up, Ishaani spluttered.
"Ranveer, tum toh jaante ho ki Kaki aur Baa ke beech kitni ladayi hoti hai. Har roz ek nayi baat par ladaai. dono filhaal iss baat se khush hai ki hum dono divorce le rahe hai ek dusre se. Par jab unhein iss baat ka pata chal jaayega ki humaare beech ab sab theek ho chukka hai aur humein divorce nahi chahiye, toh kya tumhein lagta hai ki sab theek ho jaayega?"
Ranveer looked at her as though he was clearly seeing her for the first time. But she did have a point. Though the siblings and all of Ishaani's family (save Baa) would be overjoyed by their re-union, there was majority of his family (save Parul), who would object to it. There had to be some way by which they could win over everyone's approval.
Ishaani could practically see Ranveer's mind running fast for an idea. Inwardly, she heaved a sigh of relief as she was happy that she did make sense in a way. After a few moments, Ranveer spoke up at last.
"I think we should get divorced."
Ishaani looked at him aghast. Her eyes welled up and she turned her face away from his, before she heard him speak further.
"I think we should get divorced, but sirf unn logon ke saamne." Ishaani looked at him, a tear escaping her eyes involuntarily, while her eyes widened.
"Matlab?"
"Matlab yeh, ki hum sirf divorce lene ka naatak karenge sab ke saamne. Par hum asal mein unhein yeh ehsaas dilaayenge ki hum dono ek dusre ke bina kitne adhoore hai."
"Oh." Ishaani smiled at him coyly.
"Ab samjhi buddhu?" Ranveer smacked her on her head and laughed whole heartedly while Ishaani looked at him laughing genuinely for the first time in these many weeks. She smiled and felt her heart erupt in a fit of happiness quite disconnected to her own, but it filled her up completely nonetheless.
"Ranveer tum..." She went to smack him back, but instead, he pulled her hand towards him, which resulted in her almost falling over him, her face inches away from his own. Their laughter died away and with it came a strange heaviness in the air, a tension that they never knew existed until that moment. Both of them found themselves lost into each other's eyes once again.
"Tum kuch keh rahi thi?" Ranveer whispered as Ishaani looked stunned by their sudden proximity.
"Main woh..." Ishaani gave him a hard gaze as they inched closer.
*Crash*
Ishaani and Ranveer jerked away from one another as they heard something breaking in the corridor. Assured that they were somehow being spied upon through the door that was slightly ajar, Ranveer sprang up from the bed in alarm, while Ishaani had already reached the door. Ishaani could barely make out the silhouette of Amba sprinting away hurriedly, while she kept shooting backward glances.
Ishaani looked behind to find Ranveer right behind her, looking apprehensive.
"Kaun tha bahar?"
"Kaki..."
"Maa ne kahi humein dekh toh nahi liya na?"
"Nahi... nahi mujhe nahi lagta ki unhone hum dono ko dekha hai. Warna abhi tak woh andar aa jaati. Aur darwaaze ke crack mein se toh sirf main hi dikhi hogi. Shayad unhe laga ho ki mere saath koi aur ho andar."
"Par meri aawaz?"
"Ranveer abhi yeh sab sochne ka time nahi hai. Abhi ek kaam karte hai, hum dono so jaate hai. Kal subah uthke aage ka plan discuss karte hai, alright?"
Ranveer nodded unwillingly, but obliged. He kissed her forehead gently before making his way to his room, while Ishaani smiled at him and shut her door, preparing to go to bed.
As Ranveer went to bed that night, exhausted from all the hitting, only one though occurred to him.
It could have been worse.
It could have been Chaitali.
There! :D :D First two are done. The next two will be there in the next chapter and we'll be inaugurating with our very own Chaitali. ;) Constructive criticisms will be more than welcome and sorry for any typos. :D
Until we meet next! :D
