It was just another rainy Tuesday evening in Delhi. Tired from numerous contracts, multiple meetings and piles of paperwork, Raman Kumar Bhalla was driving to his small house from his huge office. He was waiting to walk home and get a huge warming hug from his daughter that would drive away his exhaustion. He was happily driving when his phone started ringing. It flashed - Home. Raman knew it was Ruhi calling. She always called him at this time. Raman pulled his car over to the side and picked up the phone.
Raman: "Hi Ruhi"
Ruhi (on phone): "Hi Papa, how do you know it's me?"
Raman: "I just do. Anyways what are you doing?"
Ruhi: "Watching T.V. Papa, please hurry up and come home. I am tired, but I can't sleep without you."
Raman: "Just 15 more minutes Ru."
Ruhi: "Okay only 15 more minutes. I am counting, so hurry up."
Raman: "Okay now hang up the phone, so I can drive and come home faster."
Ruhi: "Bye Papa!
Raman started his car again, but just then through the rear view mirror he saw a woman completely drenched in a red saree running in his direction. She came to his car and knocked on the window. He rolled down the window and saw her.
Mrs. Ishita Khanna, the woman who ruined his best friend Ishita Iyer. Ishita Iyer; the woman who he could turn to for help, the woman who understood him, his best friend, and his first true LOVE. For the world there was not much of a difference between Ishita Iyer and Mrs. Ishita Khanna, but to Raman it was like the distance between the ground and the sky.
Ishita: "Raman!! It's you! Please help me Raman. Please."
Raman: "But how can I help you...Mrs.Khanna?"
