Chapter 5: The confession.
Ishita lie on bed pondering and reliving the events of the past days as she stroked Ruhi's hair. It was already past midnight and Raman was still not home. He had not spoken well to Ishita since their outburst in the party. It was as if he had lost his voice around her while he would talk normally with everybody. Ishita had never felt so miserable and restless in her life.
Her Ravan Kumar would not even bother to taunt her these days.
"I have done a lot of things for Ruhi but some things have nothing to do with our marriage contract Ishita"
How right he was! Ishita's eyes pricked with tears thinking of Raman and his inner goodness which always manages to shine despite his herculean effort to mask it with his razor blade tongue. The way he was being fully involved in Mihir and Mihika's wedding preparations, on his toes for both families, helping her appa, reassuring her amma and chitti...and then today, his conversation with her akka and jeeju to tell them off so lovingly for worrying about money and gifts and at the same time giving them so much respect. "This is the least I can do for you since you had been doing so much for Ruhi's sake".
Ishita sighed remembering his reply when she had thanked him later. Uff! It would not be easy to pacify Ravan Kumar.
The next morning when Ishita came to wake up Ruhi, she could not stop her eyes to linger on her husband. He had come back at night. He had kissed Ruhi on her forehead and walked over to his side of the bed. Within minutes he was fast asleep because Ishita could hear the smooth rhythm of his breathing. He was now looking so innocent and peaceful in his sleep. Ishita smiled inwardly staring at Raman's face when suddenly his eyes snapped open and she found him looking at her right in the eyes. "Oh..i was.. checking on Ruhi...I mean, trying to wake Ruhi up", she stammered like a child caught doing a wrong action.
- Tumhare dimmag ke saat saat, ankhein bhi kharab ho gaye hain kya? Ruhi ko check karna hain par mujhe ghoor rahi ho?
Instead of retorting back, Ishita laughed, surprising Raman. He rolled his eyes and stood up to move to the bathroom but stopped. Ishita was holding his wrist, looking at him with a smile to say a soft "Thank you" to him. Raman asked tauntingly: "Kis liye? Tujhe paagal bulane ke liye"
Ishita again laughed
- Yes, for taunting me after so many days. I am addicted to it."
Ishita smiled lovingly at Raman as he moved to the bathroom with a "paagal aurat" look towards her. Ishita felt immediately light. She was in love with this grumpy man and it was time to face it. She would tease him and pulled his leg and provoked him if needed but she would not let him ignore her like this..
Raman was surprised to find Ishita waiting for him in the parking lot. She wanted a lift.
- Kyun? What happened to your car?
- Well I wanted to have a talk with you so I thought...
- You thought? Don't exercise too much on your pea size brain Ishita. I have better things to do than listen to your lecture in the morning.
After a busy day with innumerable meetings to attend, Raman was in his bedroom in his white kurta and pant, his head on the bed rest, his eyes closed. He could hear his daughter constant chatter and his wife laughing from the living room. He was in his peaceful haven, his home, where he craved to be after a stressful day. His thoughts immediately went to Ishita and Raman smiled despite himself remembering the surprise visit of his wife after he had unceremoniously left her on the tarmac in the morning.
Ishita came during lunch time with his favourite food smiling broadly at him. Raman had immediately asked with sarcasm: Kyun? Yeh Ruhi ke liye?
Tongue in cheek, Ishita had answered back: Obviously! Ruhi ke liye aur...mere liye bhi.
Irritated by her answer, Raman had dumped the basket unceremoniously on the side table and warned Ishita by pointing his index literally on her nose, using her own vocabulary against her.
- Don't you dare play this "kabhi hot kabhi cold game with me?
- Kyun? Yeh game sirf aap khel sakte hain?
And without waiting for his reply, Ishita had laid the table and forced him to have lunch with her.
Raman sighed and shook his head. Ishita had been a tease all through the week and Raman knew why she was doing it. But the worst part was the touching. If Raman didn't know her well, he would say she was flirting with her but the woman had no idea what she was doing to him. That woman was CRAZY and would end up turning him MAD. Raman concluded.
Raman was still lost in his thoughts when he felt a pair of hands in his hair. Ishita! His eyes snapped open. What the hell was she doing?
"Ssshh, Ruhi is watching. Relax. Suna hain aap ke sard mein dard hain? Your daughter asked me to give you a head massage," she whispered in his ear, putting an end to his instinctive movement away from her. As she buried her fingers in his hair, rubbing his scalp with the tips of her fingers with circular movements, Raman's eyes closed, driving out all thoughts of his mind to fall into a deep slumber only to wake up in the morning by Ruhi who lovingly asked him how he was feeling. He later learned that Ruhi never asked Ishita to mess up with his hair.
Grrr! Jhansi ki Rani was also a bloody liar.
But his annoyance was immediately replaced by concern when Ruhi told him that Ishima was going to the hospital with Mihika. Appointment? For what?
When Ishita came to pick her bag, an annoyed Raman immediately asked: "Why are you going to the doctor? Why didn't YOU tell me? Patni ho tum meri...
Raman realized this was what she wanted to talk about last morning but he had only told her off. As per Ishita, it was nothing serious but still Raman wanted to go and Ishita had no choice but to succumb to his stubbornness. He insisted to meet the gynecologist while Mihika went in to help Ishita to get ready for her surgery.Raman found out that Ishita would be having a laparoscopy done to view the state of her fallopian tubes since she had been complaining of her irregular cycle since some months. Raman finally found out the causes of her infertility and realized how little he knew about the woman who was sharing his life. The doctor briefed him about the procedure before and after surgery and reassured him for the nth time that Ishita was fully prepared for it and once the surgery over, she could go home after three to four hours.
Once in the operation room, Ishita asked to meet Raman one last time before was anaesthetized. She wanted Raman to promise not to make any video of her and not to ridicule her later. A small smile curved Raman's lips as he exclaimed: Paagal Aurat!
Fact was she wanted to see him before they administered any medication to her and before she fell into a deep sleep. And then she knew he was worried and was literally on the verge of blowing a fuse there. Her gynecologist was just telling her how lucky she was to have such a caring husband. His heart started to pound in his heart as a nurse asked him to move out. They smiled both reassuring each other without uttering a single word.
Ishita was back after an hour in the recovery room while a nurse kept monitoring her blood pressure, pulse and temperature. Both Ramanand Mihika were then allowed to go in since Ishita was a special case when it came to anesthesia.
- Pain...
Raman looked at her, his eyes filled with concern and looked at the nurse who immediately told him not to worry. Under the effect of anesthesia, Ishita again started blabbering, whining like a little puppy as Mihika and Raman looked on both with disbelief and amusement.
- I hate hospitals... they stink... I hate anesthesia...don't give me anesthesia...Raman...Raman will laugh at me
- No...no...Don't make my MMS Raman...Ravan Kumar...I will poke a needle in your...butt.
And then she started giggling, her eyes closed.
- Ravan Kumar is afraid of injection...Meany, grumpy Raman Kumar Bhalla...
She sat up but winced in pain. Raman immediately held her to him as she dropped her head on his shoulder. She giggled again, between her delirious talks.
- But he is cute... when he... smiles...
Lifting her face she put her index on her lips talking to nobody in particular as she still had her eyes closed and went on:
- Ssshhh don't tell anyone...I check on him all the time... nanga ghumta hain ghar mein...patli kamar Raman kumar Bhalla
Ishita laughed aloud while Raman listened helplessly, as she went on and on and spilled the beans about him walking in their bedroom with that silly bathroom. Unable to hold it anymore, Mihika gasped and laughed hysterically
- Jeeju I better go out. I need parental advice to listen to such mature talks.
- Chup! Tum aur tumahari akka ke dimaag kharaab hain. Hamesha Bakwaas karte rahete ho donon...
As soon as she left, an irritated Raman grabbed Ishita who was fidgeting on the bed rambling endlessly.
- Shut up! Ishita do you hear me? Ishita. It is me Raman.
- Raman... Why do scold me so much? It...hurts...here...don't hurt me
Her eyes were closed and she had her hand on her heart. Raman's stern expression softened as she threw her head to rest on his chest. Touched by her words, Raman hugged her, holding her like she was a precious bundle in his arms. She seemed to be calming down. It was the first time he was taking her in his arms willingly and it stirred something deep inside him. Lost in her warmth, he was brought back to reality by Ishita's high octave voice
- Saboot mil gaya!!
Raman looked at her lovingly, tightening his grip around her to prevent her from hurting herself with the brusque movement she was doing and asked her with his voice chuckling.
- Kya saboot mila, Karanchand Jasoos?
- You like me Ravan Kumar! Your heart is beating as fast as mine.
Raman instantly looked at her. He was totally confused and shocked. She was not behaving like she did last time. She looked more light- headed, as if she was drunk. She was trying to focus on his face while she continued to blabber, her eyes half shut.
- You are a ruthless player Raman... I am tired now...Tired to run away from you...tired to hide my feelings from you...Ruhi ke liye...nahin...
She was now crying. She tried to lift herself up but came colliding on Raman's chest as she winced in pain again. His heart beats seemed to have a soothing effect on her and she stayed there, rubbing her nose on his shirt and calling his name.
Raman immediately cupped the right side of her face, bent down and asked her:
- Ishita! Look at me!
- No...no... Raman. I don't want... to play... your wicked game. You... win Raman.
Raman listened, staring at her, his heart in his eyes, as she went on putting Raman's hand on her heart:
- See...I have a heart...just like you...it is beating very fast..I...I love you Raman. But...but... keep my heart preciously... and safe with you Raman...as... a trophy...
He swallowed and felt the pain moving from his throat to his chest, to lodge firmly there. But this time it was a pain of joy.
A pain of boundless love.
Raman looked at his wife. She was now fast asleep. He lowered her on the bed, put the blanket over her and sat by her side holding her hand. Raman looked at her unable to believe what she had just said to him. A sensation he had never ever experienced travelled inside his every cell. Count of his wife to make his entire plan kaput. This was the woman who had barged in his life, unlocked his heart and messed up his life so beautifully. She had surprised her once again by opening up to him when he last expected it touching and moving him to tears.
Epilogue:
As stated by the doctor, Ishita indeed didn't remember any conversation that she had immediately after her surgery. She was recuperating and Raman made sure that she was having rest and was not exerting on herself.
It was Sunday, five days after her intervention. The Iyers and the Bhallas were having tea together and Ishita started complaining as she was not being allowed to make pakodas :
- It is Akka who needs rest. I will turn fat if I don't do anything all day.
Raman couldn't leave such a great opportunity.
- You will? You are already fat Ishita.
But before Tom and Jerry could get into some arguments Mihika cut in leaving both speechless.
- Of course. Akka is fat while jeeju is the patli kamar here.
Raman turned a deep shade of red while Ishita looked on shell shock. The shameless Mihika lost no time to divulge what happened at the hospital as the whole family laughed whole heartedly.
Later at night when Ishita finally had some time for herself, she went to the balcony. Her face lifted to the sky, her thoughts went to Raman. She hadn't failed to notice the way Raman was looking at her while the family was lovingly having fun at their expense. His eyes were softly caressing her face as she looked at him with acute embarrassment. Ishita couldn't believe that she talked about Raman's "patli kamar" in her delirium state in the hospital.
Suddenly her back straightened sensing his presence just behind her. She gasped as she felt him snaking his arms around her to hug her tight, fanning the back of her neck with his breath.
- Ssshhh Ruhi is watching. Relax.
He nuzzled her closer and brought his mouth to her ears. Tightening his grip around her, Raman whispered.
- Do you want to catch a cold? I don't want my wife to be sick you know.
Ishita waited, stilled, trembling as she felt his lips grazing her neck softly as he talked behind her. He kept crushed her in his arms, killing her softly, as she felt engulfed in his warmth. She waited. But Raman made no attempt to move away from her. Finally unable to bear what he was doing to her body and senses, she turned around to look at the door and beyond... but Ruhi was nowhere around. She struggled to free herself and looked at Raman with shock as the latter chuckled. Angry she stuttered as she pushed him away:
- You are the most devious, crooked and wicked man on earth Raman.
Raman pulled her back in his arms as if it was the only right place she belonged, tightening the grip on her waist leaving no freedom to Ishita to escape. His laughing eyes looked down at her. Ishita felt lost in those eyes which were naughty, tender, apologetic and loving simultaneously. His right hand left Ishita's wait leaving a trail of heat there to gently tuck away a loose strand of hair from her face. Looking at her right in the eyes, Raman whispered as if he was blowing life in her:
- I promise to safeguard your heart Ishita. I will keep it preciously...like a trophy
Ishita's eyes widened with shock. How come Raman knew about her inner feelings which she had never let out of her mouth? Could it be that she had...? She didn't have to dwell any further. She understood that she had poured them out under the effect of anesthesia. Her eyes starting burning due to constant staring at him and she closed them as a big drop of tear run down her flushed cheek. Raman lifted his hands to cradle her face. It was time to tell this beautiful woman how much she meant in his life. The first time he confessed, he faked it as distraction but this time he meant each and every word as he looked into her eyes, his mirroring his inner feelings. She was drugged on that day but he knew she meant everything she had said to him. If she claimed to know what was in his heart, he too can read her eyes and heart.
- Ishita I love you. Mujhe lagta hain ke hum ek dusre ke liye bane hain, tabhi to hamare life mein koyi aur tik hi nahin paye. I don't know how you will react but I needed to tell you. I love you very very much.
This time it was Ishta's turn to slide her arms around his waist to hug him. Raman held her tight, both lost in each other's embrace. He finally drew a long breath and whispered, confusing Ishita: Ruhi chali gayi!
- Huh?
- I mean to say I had to say this to you because Ruhi really at the door this time.
- Kya?
A furious Ishita pushed Raman away ready to berate him when he pulled her back to him laughing as she wriggled to free herself.
- I was joking Jhansi ki Rani.
She noticed Raman's eyes going to her heaving bosom. She looked down. One of her Kurti's button has popped up. She put a hand on her top. Ayyyooo!!
Raman laughed as she hid her herself in Raman's arms.
- I love you woman. I seriously do even if I don't like so many things about you.
Lifting her face to look at him, Ishita asked:
- Accha! And what are those things?
- Well too many but one of them is your annoying habit of wearing one size smaller clothes. No wonder your buttons and hooks always pop and then you have the gut to blame me for staring.
- How...Ungentlemanly Raman. But...I love you too though I also don't like some things about you.
- Accha! What are there not to like about me? I am simply perfect.
- Kuch bhi!
- Then tell me
- Like for example... your pathetic jokes and...the way your eyes had no control over themselves and uhh...
- You talk way too much Ishita Raman Kumar Bhalla..
Ishita gasped as Raman pressed his lips on hers shutting her up like he had always wanted to.
With a lip lock!
