The real scene starts from now...the 3rd day of Ishita's broken hand.
Raman is in his office. He is discussing an important plan with Mihir. An employee wants to come in his room.
Employee : May I come in Sir?
Raman : Not now.
Employee : Sir, it's urgent.
Raman : I said na, later. Come 1 hour later. I am busy.
Mihir looks at him and then at the employee and signs him to leave.
They keep discussing the plan.
The employee knocks again in 15 minutes. This time Raman is angry and shouts him to come in. He enters room with fear.
Raman : What is it? Tell soon.
Employee : Sir I need a leave of 3 days.
Raman : Was this the important thing of you? You could've told this later too.
Employee : Sir, I have to take this leave from tomorrow. That's why.
Raman : Why do you want the leave?
Employee : Sir, my cousin in getting married.
Raman and Mihir both are shocked and looking at each other hearing about the most important reason for his leave. This time, Raman can't control his anger. He is worried from before due to Ishita's problem. He can't concentrate on office work even for that. Now, if one senior employee leaves, it would be difficult for him to maintain the office. And, more to that, the reason is not that apt..he is taking leave for a COUSIN', this is what irked Raman.
Raman : Are you mad? You want to attend your cousin's marriage? It's not your own sibling. Still, you want to leave the office in this condition? You are senior, that doesn't mean you have all the rights to do your whims. Now, I am not that available in office. Mihir is not there to see everyone's task in the office. Who will do your tasks haan? Will anyone give proxy on behalf of you? Can you arrange someone or can you do the tasks of coming three days by tonight? Answer me.
Employee : Sir, it's just 3 days. I will do everything after that.
Raman : If by then, our deals are lost? If by then, our office's other employees start their personal things? If you had asked for 1 day's leave at this moment, I wouldn't have allowed you even then. And, now there's not even a chance for it.
Employee : Sir, please, it's a family matter. Everyone wants me there.
Raman : Leave my room right now.
Employee : Sir, please. Think once.
This time Raman shouts, Leave for now, or leave my office forever'.
The employee leaves with a broken heart. Mihir tries to calm Raman down. But, Raman doesn't listen to him and leaves for home keeping the discussion incomplete.
-------------------------
At home. Raman comes to him room. Ishita was trying hard to arrange some clothes. Seeing Raman, she request him.
Ishita : Raman, please do this for me na! I am not able to do it.
Raman looks at her with disgust.
Raman : Am I your servant that I'll do each of your tasks? Do you pay me?
Ishita is astonished.
Ishita : Raman, you yourself started helping me, I dint tell you to do so.
Raman : So, now that means that I'll do everything for you till your hand is okay, right?
Ishita : No, not like that.
Raman : You know what? Till whenever you came to my life, everything became problematic. My life, my family, my work and even my ownself is full of problems only. Being with you can make anyone's life hell. How did your family tolerate you this long?
Raman leaves the room in anger. Ishita was astonished and shocked. Now, she is hurt deeply. She dint realize that she is crying. This man always taunts her and says bad things. But, this one was more than those. It was like a knife piercing her heart. She thinks to herself that she never thought that Raman thinks of her like this. This sorrow converted into agony. She takes her plaster off from her hand and starts making arranging her clothes inspite of intense pain in hand.
Raman was about to leave the house. Ruhi came to her and asked if everything is okay. Seeing Ruhi, Raman calms himself down as he doesn't want Ruhi to understand anything. This gave him a chance to think what he has done right now in his room with Ishita, what he has destroyed just now about their relationship. He holds his head being tensed, scared...of what, he himself doesn't know it. He just knows that he is scared and he can't let Ishita misunderstand him. He comes back to his room and sees Ishita arranging her clothes with broken hand and with intense pain.
Raman : Ishita, what are you doing? Leave it. Wear the plaster.
Ishita : Thanks for your concern, but I don't need it anymore. I don't want to create any more problems in anyone's life. I can manage myself alone. No need of your help and waste of time. The problems I already caused to you, try to solve that.
Raman is super upset seeing her talking like this.
Raman : Ishita, I dint really mean that. It was just anger of someone which I vented on you. Please, understand me.
Ishita : I understand you Raman. This is what you always do...I am your punching bag, that I know. But, this time it was more than that...it was something else Raman. You won't understand. You have offices na! Go solve your office problems. And leave me alone.
Raman has nothing to say, he can't meet Ishita's eyes. He leaves for office.
-------------------------
In office, Raman is thinking about Ishita. Mihir comes to him
Mihir : What happened? You are still angry on that employee?
Raman : No, not that. In fact, I vented my this anger on Ishita in a bad way. She misunderstood me. And, that was obvious cos I told her something really bad. She was very upset yaar.
Mihir : What have you told bhai?
Raman described what happened.
Raman : She herself is disturbed because of the hand pain and this was given by me. She doesn't blame or express her pain. But, I can understand that she is going through lots of pain. It was a severe injury. Still, I scolded her for no reason. Why can't I keep myself calm and in control?
Mihir : Bhai, you know sis-in-law na! She is very good at heart. You say sorry to her and promise her that you will never ever say anything like this. She will understand and forgive you. Try it bhai.
Raman : Yeah, I have to say sorry of course. Not because I want her to forgive me, but because I can't see her sad and in pain.
Raman again leaves for home. Mihir thinks to himself.
Mihir : When will bro and sis-in-law realize that they love each other a lot? Bro can't see SIL in pain and SIL is hurt hearing this from bro. Both are connected to each other by souls and hearts.
-------------------------
It is night and dinner time when Raman comes to home. He sees everyone is on table for dinner, only Ishita is missing. He was about to go and search for her, but Toshi calls her. Ishita comes outside and sees him. She just ignores him.
Toshi asks Raman to freshen up and have dinner together. Raman came to the table changing. Toshi was serving food to everyone. When Ishita's plate was served, she takes the plate to herself. Raman sees that she is having really so much problems doing anything.
Toshi : Oye, Ishita, What are you doing?
Ishita : What mummy jee?
Toshi : Why did you grab the plate towards yourself? You can't eat by yourself.
Ishita : Mummy jee, I am okay. I can try.
Toshi : No, leave the plate. Raman will feed you.
Raman : Yes, let me do it.
Ishita : No need of that. I need to do my work by myself, without causing problems to anyone. So, let it be.
Ishita is eating by herself with hard effort and she is very slow in eating now. Raman isn't eating, he is only watching her. Whenever she is having much problem, he is getting worried. Toshi notices that he isn't eating and asks him to eat. He starts eating. Ishita stops eating when her plate is almost full. She couldn't eat much due to severe pain. She leaves the dining room saying that she is no more hungry. Raman understands the notion about why she dint eat. After she went to the room, Raman too says that he isn't hungry and doesn't feel like eating. He follows Ishita.
-------------------------
In the bedroom, Raman sees that Ishita is trying to get the blanket from his bed to her couch. She was trying, but couldn't take it with her one hand. Raman comes to help her. They share an intense eyelock symbolized with agony, apology, sorrow and embarrassment and somewhere a bit detest for themselves. Raman lowers down his eyes first, as he is feeling so much disgusting about his behavior towards Ishita.
Raman : Umm...Ishita you can sleep on the bed. I'll manage on the couch. We planned this way for one week na!
He tries to smile. Ishita doesn't say anything, just gives a stern look to him. She again tries to take the blanket. Raman gives his hand. But, Ishita doesn't allow him to help her. Finally she is successful and all settled down on the couch to sleep. Raman is standing like a loser husband and looking at her in the grayish light of the moon touching her pale face. He dint realize how long he stood like that. By that time Ishita already fell asleep.
-------------------------
He goes near Ishita with small and slow footsteps. He sits beside her on the floor and stares at her like he is drinking this white beauty and soaking her pain inside. He touches her broken hand gently and moves his finger towards her elbow lost in her. Few mins later, he realized that something is burning, he is feeling heat on his hand. He gets senses back. He looks down and sees that he is holding Ishita's hand, and it is too hot. He touches her forehead. She is burning with high fever. It is due to the hand ache she suffered the whole day due to not having the plaster on. He gets very much worried.
Raman takes Ishita in his lap and takes her to the bed. He puts her there and keeps her hand on a pillow. He is in a fix what to do. He dint feel like this before for anyone when he couldn't think properly. The only thing in his mind running is her safety and comfort. He decides to put the plaster on her hand at first. He does this with lots of care. He touches her hand like it's a petal of a flower. He puts the plaster like a hard press on her hand will break the hand fully.
After doing this, he brings a bowl full of cold water and a piece of cloth soaked in it. He puts the wet cloth on her forehead to diminish fever. He does this for a long time. He stops only when her fever is under control.
It's almost 4 am. He sits beside her on the floor and takes her injured hand in his hands. It's like he never will let Ishita go away from her. He falls asleep that way putting his head beside her waist.
-------------------------
At morning, Ishita wakes up. She had a good sleep, but her head is aching due to high fever. She opens her eyes and it takes 2 mins for her to understand exactly where she is lying. She realized that she is on the bed.
Ishita : How am I here on the bed? Who brought me here?
She feels that someone is holding her hand. She looks beside and sees it's Raman.
Ishita : Raman...why is he sleeping like this? Is he the one to bring me here?
She then looks at the table beside the bed where the water bowl and cloth were kept. She understands everything whatever happened at last night during her sleep.
She forgets whatever happened yesterday, she has a cute and caring look at sleeping Raman. She was about to caress Raman's hair. But, Raman already got up. He is looking at Ishita. Few mins later, he starts feeling embarrassed. There was such a silent if two lovers kiss each other the sound will play like a song in the ears.
Raman breaks the silent.
Raman : Umm...I just slept suddenly here. Sorry.
Ishita is still looking like a caring doll and her expressions were saying that she wants to hear more from Raman. Seeing Ishita's sober, calm and caring face, Raman thought of clearing the mess he created yesterday. He gets up and sits on the bed, beside her holding her hand.
Raman : I am sorry Ishita. For yesterday, for my lost control and for my hurting behavior. I just lost it due to an office problem. You came infront of me, and I shouted on you. People say that you shout on the ones whom you love.
Ishita : What?
Raman realizes that he said one word, which he shouldn't have.
Raman : I meant to say that dear ones. We love all our dear one na!!
Ishita blushes. Both are silent again. Raman is staring at Ishita and Ishita's face is down to Raman's hand which is holding hers.
Ishita : Raman, I am sorry too.
Raman : Why?
Ishita : I over reacted on that situation. It's like I kinda expect sober behavior from you now, which I dint ever before. That's why I was hurt.
Raman : Ishita, it's natural to be hurt and angry in that situation. The things I have said to you..I just can't imagine even myself that how could I say those. I wanted to slap myself for all those rubbish thing I said to you. I never meant it Ishita, never.
Raman looks upset.
Ishita : Look at me Raman, it's okay. I forgot, you too forget. Just remember one thing that don't do this again. Don't ever say it again. Otherwise, I won't talk to you again.
Raman : Never...I promise.
He holds his ears. Both share a light moment with smiles.
