"Ishita"
Every member of Bhalla household present in the living room rolled their eyes on hearing the call from a specific room from upstairs.
"Lo shuru hogaya iska din" Toshiji announced.
"Aap to aise bol rahe ho Mumma jaise humein to pata hi nahi ke Bhai ka din Ishita' ke naam se shuru hotha hai" Simmi poked Ishita while saying. Ishita bit her lip and blushed profusedly.
"Ab to iski itni adat hogayi hai ke lagta hai hamara din Mata Rani ke jaap se nahi, Ishita ke jaap se shuru hothi hai" Bhallaji joined the teasing spree.
"Papaji aap bhi?" Ishita was baffled that her Father-in-law had also joined them. Bhallaji laughed whole heartedly with the rest of the Bhalla clan.
"Ishita...Ishita...Kahan ho yaar?"
"Bhabi isse pehle ki Bhai ka gussa hum sab par barse please upar chali jao."Romi said folding his hands. "Warna sabse pehla bali ka bakra to mai hi banunga" he added dramatically. Ishita pulled his ear.
"Romi bhai sahi keh rahe hain. Aur thodi der hogayi na to bhai chillayengeIshita...Ishita...Kahan mar gayi yaar" Rinki said imitating Raman's tone.
"Ishita...Ishita...Kahan margayi yaar?"
Everyone in the living room started laughing out loud and Ishita ran upstairs feeling embarrassed.
IshRa Room
"Kya hai? Itna chilla kyun rahe ho?"
"Mere kapde nahi mil rahe"
"Ye lo" she took out his clothes from the wardrobe and handed it to him. "Aur kuch?"
"Mera belt?"
"Hmm" she was ready with it even before he asked. "Aur?"
"Mera wallet?"
"Ye raha...Aur kuch?"
"Mera file?"
"lo...", "Hogaya ya aur kuch baki hai?"
"Jab patha hai ke mujhe in sab cheezon ki zarurat padti ha to nikal kar samne nahi rakh sakti thi kya? Bekar me subah subah chilla kar energy waste hogayi meri"
"Achha ji? Agar cheezein apke samne rakhti to bhi aap chillate aur mujhe upar ana padta. Isiliye nahi rakhe" she stated the obvious as this was a daily routine for her.
"Zyada bhav khane ki zarurat nahi" he tried to cover up on being caught.
"Washroom ka floor wipe kiya?"
"Nahi" he bit his tongue.
"Patha tha aap nahi karoge. Kitni baar bola hai ke wipe karke aya karo. Kabhi koi phisal gaya to?" she demanded with hands on hips.
"Ye kya har subah washroom wipe karo ka lecture dethi rehti ho. PM ki Swachh Bharat abhiyan join kar liya hai kya? Aur Aaj tak koi phisla hai kya? Nahi na? To phir bekar reasons lekar mujhe mat sunao" he rubbished her words.
"Kisi din agar koi phisla na to aap ki khair nahi Ravan Kumar" she said pointing a finger towards him.
"Dekhlenge" he intertwined his finger with hers and challenged.
"Swachh Bharat abhiyan ki volunteer jao aur washroom wipe karo. Mujhe kapde badalne hain"
She tucked her pallu near the waist, flared her nostrils in anger and walked into the washroom stomping her feet.
