Recap : Sharan's care for Isha and his reconcilation with his father.

Sharan's POV:

I felt touched when dad told me about Isha. This is probably the first time when I am happy at a lie instead of shouting at the people who lied. I started looking for my Idiot and found her in the kitchen.
I hugged her from the back making her gasp but she didn't protest.
"Sharan what are you doing, we are in the kitchen" she reminded me and I looked around.
Thank God no one is around.
I picked her up and before she recover from the shock, I set her down to stand properly in our room.

"Isha, thanks for everything. You returned my dad to me" I spoke.
"I was just the mediator. You know your dad loves you more than anyone in this world. He would forgive you no matter what. That's the thing about real love. If we love someone truly then we can forgive all their transgressions and give them a chance to prove themselves" she said.

"This is the reason why you forgave me" I said and she became uncomfortable.

"Sharan I have a lot of work, let me go" she started to leave but I stopped her and pulled her towards me making her crash to my chest.

"Isha there was a time when I hated your philosophy but I have started to like it now" I said

"Not just my philosophy, you hated me too" she said making me sad and I turned away from her but she turned me around to face her.

"Sharan please don't try to escape from your problems. You should face them. That's the only solution to any problem" she said consoling me.
"Sharan I know that you consider me as your best friend. That's all I want. You are the best best friend in the whole world and I am lucky to have you. So please don't worry about the past" she continued.

"Ishuu.." I tried to call her but she opened her mouth in surprise.

"Close your mouth" I said softly.

"What did you call me?" she asked confused

"Can I call you that or is dad the only one with that patent?" I asked trying to be funny.

"Anybody can call me Ishu but you are the only one with the right to call me idiot. I would kill anybody else who does that" she said.

I didn't understand what she meant. Should I call her idiot or Ishu. What is she hinting at? Does she like it when I call her Ishu? I stood there like a statue.

"You think now. I am leaving" saying that she started to walk away.

Ishana's POV

Next evening

I am talking to angels about their college life. They used to give me a brief about their day at the college after coming home everyday. Sharan had come home early today.

"Isha, where is my T-shirt?" Came my dear hubby's call.

"Ishudi go fast or else he will start his shouting schedule" Varna said.
"Yes, yes go fast Ishudi. We shall talk later. Mr. Rude will get angry if you don't go now" Varna piped in.

I excused myself and went to our room with a blush on my face.

"What is this Sharan? Are you a kid?" I asked him as I started to look for a shirt for him in the closet.

Before I could realize what was happening, he pinned me to the wall. I froze surprised.

"What do you think of me, that I am a fool?" He asked.

"What Sharan.." I stammered unable to take his hint.

"So you are the one spoiling my sisters. You are making them call me Mr. Rude, what is this Isha?" He continued.
Only then did I realize what he was hinting at and bit my lip. He looked at me with a weird expression on his face.

"I'm sorry Sharan" I spoke.

"I know that you are smart Isha so don't try to act innocent in front of me" he said.

"Okay but I didn't tell them about Mr. Rude intentionally. It had slipped from my mouth accidentally. I will not repeat it again" I promised.

"What else did you tell my sisters about me?" He asked.

"Nothing else. Please believe me, I didn't tell them anything else" I assured him.

"You need to be punished for this or else you might repeat it" and before I could completely comprehend what he said, he pinched me on my belly softly and I yelped.

"Hey stop with your acting, idiot. I know that it didn't hurt" he said.

"It didn't hurt but you know your touch is making me..." I stopped realizing what I was saying and he looked at me eagerly.

"Making you....?" He asked.

I tried to move away but he held me in place. I started to shiver in my place because of our proximity. It was doing strange things to me.

He looked me right in the eye and said, "Thank you Isha, you are the best thing that happened to me. I am very happy now a days only because of you"
It made me really happy.

He hugged me and I reciprocate. Without his notice I pinched him in his belly through his shirt and it was his turn to scream.

"Why did you do that? Idiot!" He exclaimed.

"A special gift from me. Didn't you like it?" I spoke and before he could reply, I ran from the room laughing.
