Hello everyone,
I wrote this because I am BORED of studying and more importantly I know that we aren't going to get an anniversary celebration so I figured this is my way of celebrating my favorite characters' anniversary.
I want to apologize in advance if any of this seems out of character for Ishita, we do not know enough about Ishita as her past has not been explored by the writers of the show so I wanted to explore Ishita's character and expose her vulnerabilities in front of Raman.
Depending on how studying goes, I might do a Dear Ishita post from Raman's perspective for their anniversary.
There is no sense of grammar; multiple spelling errors and very poor sentence structure so proceed with caution.
This is for G and all the lovely peeps on G's thread, you all make this show a very enjoyable experience.
Dear Raman,
Firstly it took me over an hour to figure out with what name should I address this letter, should I address it by your loving name Raman or should I address it with your title as 'my loving husband' or should I address it as 'Ruhi's doting father' or should I address it as 'my Ravaan kumar' or 'a responsible son-in-law' or 'the best CEO'. I am sure you are rolling your eyes at my stupidity for wasting my time about something that seems so mundane like addressing a letter but Raman there is nothing mundane about your name and it's significance in my life, as my life is stitched with yours and your name is part of mine, I am proudly called Mrs. Ishita RAMAN Bhalla, your loving wife, Ruhi's mother, Raavan's Jhansi Ki Rani and wife of the best CEO. Your existence is a force of mine and your name is a reflection of my being, so tread carefully when you use your name because with every whisper you call my name.
As I sat in my clinic looking at the calendar, my eyes fell on date that changed our lives forever, our Anniversary. I was like a little teenage girl waiting to celebrate this important date with you and relive the beautiful memories of our past but I was also nervous because I did not know what gift would do justice to our love and our unconventional union. More importantly what do I gift a man who likes giving gifts more than receiving them, a man who values emotions more then material things, a man who values family over money, a man who is powerful enough to rattle the business leadership of Delhi and a man wealthy enough to buy the world. Above all this, what do I give a man who has given me everything, a man who has made me who I am, a man who made me a mother, and a man who has given me the most precious gift, that is of love. Raman I am not as powerful as you, neither am I as wealthy so all I can give as an anniversary present, is this letter, this letter hasn't cost me anything monetarily but has cost me a lifetime; a lifetime of introspection into my being, into our marriage, into our life and into our future.
So my dear husband, this letter is the most precious gift your wife can afford to give you as it bears my soul, my dreams, my aspirations, my biggest fears and my deepest secrets but more importantly it bears my love for every part of your being.
As we both lay sick with the disease called love the only remedy as Thoreau put it brilliantly, 'There is no remedy for love but to love more'. So let's love some more and count our blessings with the dawn of our every morning and the serenity of every night. With the dawn of this morning, I thank you my dear husband:
Thank you Ruhi's doting father for coming into my life and making me a mother, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude for gifting me my life in the form of Ruhi. Before I met you and Ruhi, I was a broken soul wandering around aimlessly trying to live through life for the sake of my parent's happiness. It is very difficult to describe the feeling of being barren, infertile and being rejected by your 'love' for this very reason. I was broken Raman, my infertility had not just robbed me of motherhood but it had also robbed me of love, companionship, a relationship and more importantly it had robbed me of my dignity. But all that changed thanks to you! Thank you for accepting me as Ruhi's mother, thank you for letting me heal, thank you for making a barren woman a mother and thank you for loving me irrespective of my fertility status. You know Raman, you had called me a selfless woman, many called me 'mahan', some called me stupid for brining your ex-wife to our home. Today I will open my heart and tell you the real reason behind me bringing her to our oasis of love was because of my ever present guilt of not being able to give you and this family a child. This inadequacy of mine however stupid makes me act out of guilt, so to overcompensate, I did the unthinkable and got your ex-wife into our home. I can't even imagine what you must be going through seeing the woman who ruined your life walking around in our house trying to stake a claim at what is ours. Thank you for making me feel complete by giving me the joy of motherhood, thank you for making me feel whole, thank you for healing me and thank you for expressing your desire of me being your children's biological mother.
Thank you to the best CEO! Thank you for being hardworking and earning a good living for our family, your dedication towards your work not only sets a good example for our kids but it also makes me a better wife. It teaches me to serve my family with full dedication, it teaches me to value my work, it teaches me strike a balance between my profession and my personal life. Thank you for putting in long nights at work to ensure our financial security so I can spend time with our daughter and look after our family without worrying about the monetary constraints.
Thank you to the most loving husband ever! Thank you loving me unconditionally and reinstating my faith in the ever so confusing emotion called love. Raman after being in a relationship with a man for 10 years and completely surrendering myself to the relationship only to find it shatter and break in front of my very eyes was very unsettling to say the least. After my break up, I was a broken woman with no faith in love and relationships; I despised the thought of companionship. I had became such a bitter individual that I never entertained the idea of ever finding love in my life, but was I wrong or what! You entered my seemingly calm life as a hurricane full of anger, love, passion and a loud mouth turning my life upside down, you taught me how to open up again, you taught me how to love again, you forced me to introspect and find that our capacity to love might as well be limitless, that there aren't enough seconds in a day to shower each other with love and there aren't enough days in a week to thank out stars for giving us the courage to accept each other's imperfect love.
Thank you to most responsible son-in-law! Thank you for being a son to my parents and allowing me to be a daughter of your house. Thank you for always standing by my parents in their times of crisis and always being their shield from any trouble.
Thank you to the cutest Raavan! Thank you for being ever so naughty, jovial, passionate and angry, all these forms of yours keeps me on my toes never knowing what to expect from you. Thank you for being childlike and helping me keep the child alive in me, reminding me that life isn't to be taken seriously and that come what may, with a little humor and a smile all problems can be dealt with. Thank you for making me laugh with your naughty one-liners and bringing a smile to my face with your jokes. Thank you being naughty Raavan Kumar and making me feel desirable even in a fully clad Sari, thank you for making my heart race when you look at me with your naughty eyes with those 'X-ray' glasses, thank you for making me giggle when you flash that naughty smile of yours, thank you for making my heart stop when you tuck my lose strand of hair behind my ear, thank you for always finding a way to make me smile...thank you for being my Raavan.
And lastly thank you for being you Raman! Thank you for being my Raavan, my loving husband, Ruhi's doting father, a responsible son-in-law and a hardworking CEO.
