She still couldn't believe it! Was she really holding the divorce papers in her hands? Was it all worth nothing- the endless banters, her care for his family, her love for Ruhi and most importantly her love for him! Did he not see through her?.Did he not know how she loved him with all her heart not expecting the same from him? She just stood still in the middle of the room unaware of everything else till she heard her mother in law call out to her asking her if Raman had reached the airport in time to catch his flight!
That's when it struck her- he was leaving her, probably forever! He was leaving cause she knew it would've been a 1000 times harder for him to watch her in pain and agony!
She didn't know when she had just grabbed her keys and fled in her car to the airport to stop him! She didn't see the honking cars or the traffic police trying to stop her speeding! All she could see was Raman- only him and her and all their wonderful times together! Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried wiping them off, one hand on her teary face one hand on the steering wheel, never wanting to let go! She drove into the airport and rushed into the domestic terminals hoping and praying that he was still there! She wouldn't argue with him, no, she would just... And that is when she caught a glimpse of his sad face dragging his luggage along and walking towards the terminal!
She sprinted across the check in and tugged at his arm with all her strength! He turned back, only to be shocked seeing her: he couldn't believe it, how his heart wished that she would actually come to see him and how his mind just shrugged off the idea! But, here she was in her lovely purple sari creating a scene slapping the papers on him!
(Ishita) She had made up her mind, she wouldn't fight! She would calmly talk it through, but her heart taking control of her words gave in to a rambling of accusations against him and his stupidity in leaving her. After all, she fell in love fighting with this ridiculous man! She slapped the papers on him, as tears rolled down her cheeks wetting the papers. He had been so insensitive, he deserved to be scolded and punished like a kid! But she loved him with all her heart, and she couldn't keep it from him any longer! She was surprised on hearing the words from her lips " I love you, Raman" but she was even more surprised when she heard him reciprocate the same!
"I love you, Raman"! ...He was taken aback and he simply said " I love you too". No hesitations, no taunts- nothing! This was for real! He grabbed her into a tight hug unaware of the airport staff staring at them! A single tear rolled down his cheek as he realized she had given into the hug, tightening their bond! So, this was what happiness felt like, he never experienced it before but now with her in his arms, he knew he would be a very happy and contented man! Deal was sealed,- no more sorrow with her by his side! How could he even possibly think he would survive without her! No, he would be happy and with that thought he rested his hand on her shoulder and walked her out those sliding doors, to start afresh!
Later that night, after a whole lot of accusations hauled and misunderstandings cleared up, it was their time alone! They knew they survived the worst, and being together nothing not even hell would tear them apart!
