All I Need Is Your Support

He reached there, panting heavily just with the hope that there he would find his missing family.. He was in the worst condition. Not at all bothered about anything in the entire world.. He had been into worst times of his life when he was asked to identify the lying bodies in the morgue. His hands were dreadfully shivering. His heartbeat was at its peak with each of its thump hoping the news to be false. When he found the body not of his wife, it took him few seconds to realize what would have happened to his life if the news would have been true. What would have happened to him if it would have been his wife and daughter? He didn't want to even think about it in the scariest of the nightmares so he asked Bala to leave the place as soon as possible. He couldn't bear it anymore..
He knew his family was relying on him but being a human he can't wear the mask of a strong person when he isn't having a single clue of where his wife and their daughter were and if they were fine or not.. Moreover if they would ever return back to him or not.. He suddenly felt his life hollow.. His world was about to end in front of him and he himself cannot expect to calm down.
When he heard doctor talking to his father about his wife and daughter at Ashok Khanna's place he could not wait any longer. He rushed driving ever so rash and reaching the place just in the hope to have a glimpse of them.
He entered the mansion and found Mihika instructing the servant to prepare soup for her akka and chocolate milkshake for Ruhi. So they were here. He sighed a lil but without having a glimpse of them he could not breathe. He rushed to the place where Mihika was pointing to when she saw him.
Mihika:- Jiju wohh...
He didn't care to listen to her and climbed the stairs as fast as he could and opened the door with a bang.
There they were.. His wife was lying as fragile as he has never seen her and his daughter was sitting beside her and caressing her temple..
He step a lil towards them and was unable to hold back himself he fell on his knees. His cries were enough to wake Ishita up and Ruhi realized his presence. Mihika came and found her jiju in such a vulnerable state.
Ishita got up and sat while Ruhi went and hugged her Papa tightly..
Ruhi:- Papa.. Aap ro kyun rahe ho?? Ishima theek ho jaayengi.. Haina Ishima..
She was in the state of shock guilt and fear at the same time. Shocked to find him there, guilty to leave him in such a state and scared of being caught..
She just nodded and he looked at her hugging his daughter tighter and assuring her he is there now..
She was in her worst condition and he was no better. Both had realized and were equally worried for each other but situations and circumstances have buried the words and their eyes could not look into the others'...
He went and sat beside her. She turned her gaze to other side.
Ruhi:- Ishima Papa wasn't supposed to find us no?? will we lose the game?
Ishita looked at her and then him. He looked confused..
Raman:- Game Ruhi???
Ruhi:- Haaw Ishima!!! Papa ko nahi pata tha ki hum Run Run ka game khel rahe hain.. Ab hum haar jaayenge??
He understood it was her trick to fool Ruhi ..
Raman:- Nahi beta.. papa wont let you and your Ishima lose.. Never..
She looked at him realizing the depth of his words and he pecked Ruhi's fore head..
Mihika came forward realizing both need some time together alone..
Mihika:- Rooh.. Aapka favourite cartoon aa raha hai.. Chalo jaldi..
Ruhi:- nahi chitti.. Mai Ishima ko chhodke nahi jaaungi..
Ishita caressed her fore head...
Mihika:- Roo papa is there to take care of Ishima .. Aap chalo he'll handle her..
Ruhi:- Promise Papa??
He merely nodded and Ishita was confused what to do now.. She on one side dint want to be alone with him and on other side wanted him to assure her he is with her..
As soon as Ruhi left he moved closer to her and she moved back.. He knew she was upset but he knew she needs him.. He again moved closer to her and this time without any hurdle took her into his arms and hugged her tighter..
She was stagnant for sometime but feeling the warmth of his arms she slacken herself and hugged him tighter.. Her sobs had now turned into a louder cry and his hands were stroking her back...
Both were crying in each other's embrace.. Words weren't required.. Both were hurt. Both were guilty and both had suffered the pain of losing each other and their daughter.. They needed each other.
Wish the clock gets still for some time. Wish the earth stops rotating for a while. Wish they could be like this forever. But they have to fight.. Fight for their daughter..
She had stopped sobbing and he was just sitting with his eyes closed with his chin resting on her head. He moved a lil back and looked into her eyes. She looked back.. He was trying to find trust in the eyes but those pair of orbs were holding fear. He so wanted to snatch her pain and fear right there but he knew he has to take the steps calmly.
He kissed her temple gently and moved her hair strands behind her ears. She closed her eyes.. He moved away from her and she looked at him..
Raman:- I won't ask you to trust me Ishita.. I'll prove it this time...
These were his words before he left and God knows why she felt relieved. She felt as if he had taken her worries along with him and will come back finding her happiness.. She closed her eyes and sleep was finally overpowering her senses..
He went to Mihika..
Raman:- Thank you so much Mihika..
Mihika:- Jiju please.. Don't embarrass me.. Akka is my sister and Ru to hum sab ki jaan hai.. You please relax and take care of this matter and I promise I wll take care of both of them..
Raman:- Yeah please take care.. I promise I'll sort everything soon..
He was in his car.. He closed his eyes to think for his next step. He can never afford to lose his daughter.. Never...
His phone rang.. It was Shagun.. He wanted to throw his phone somewhere but had to listen to the unwanted voice of useless woman..
Raman:- What now??
Shagun:- What do you mean by What now?? Where is your good for nothing Behenji wife and your daughter...
Raman:- Exactly she is my daughter.. You have nothing to do with her...
Shagun:- Oh just Shutup or else you'll see me in the court..
Raman:- Most welcome..
He cut the call He knew now how to handle the woman.. He dialed Mihir's number..
Raman:- Mihir .. Find out Shagun's lawyer's number. He can be a help..
Mihir:- But Bhai do you think he will help us..
Raman:- Money will make him speak Mihir.. He is a fraud we know and Shagun might have fed him with a lot of money.. We'll offer him double to speak the truth and will ensure his safety and he will be with us..
Mihir:- great idea Bhai.. Wait let me find out his details..
He cut the call and prayed his steps work in their favour.
Within half an hour Mihir called him with the details and he asked him to come to the told address.
The Lawyer and RKB were sitting face to face..
Lawyer:- What do you want??
Raman:- I want you to stop acting smart and innocent.. We both know you have done the fraud by preparing wrong papers and different Xerox of that.
Lawyer:- I put the clause as my client asked me to do.. I don't have anything to do with the fraud..
Raman:- How much??
Lawyer:- What??
Raman- just tell me how much you want for speaking the truth??
He looked at him and smiled..
Shagun's door bell rang.. It was Police..
Police:- An FIR against you have been lodged and you'll have to come with us to Police station..
Shagun:- What FIR?? Who lodged the complain??
Police:- You'll get to know everything. Just come with us..
(I know that's too dramatic.. EK effect on me..)
She tried to contact her lawyer but he was unavailable. When they reached Police station He was standing there with Mihir his lawyer and her lawyer..
She was confused.. She walked towards her lawyer and started yelling.
Shagun:- where the hell were you?? I was trying to contact you.. Where the hell is your phone..
Police:- Calm down madam you are at Police station..
She looked at Raman..
Shagun:- oh so you are the reason of this mess..
He chose not to speak and signaled his lawyer to do..
Raman's Lawyer:- Ma'am we have a complaint against you.. You have cheated us by giving a false copy of original stamp papers and taking the signatures without informing about the difference.. that comes under the category of fraud..
Shagun:- Oh Please stop cribbing like a child.. Its your responsibility to read the papers before signing them..
Raman's Lawyer:- The manipulation is done by you..
Shagun:- That's a lie.. Do you have a proof??
Raman's lawyer:- Oh yes we have..
He signaled her lawyer to speak and he speaks what he was told to do..
She yelled at him with every possible word she could utter at the time..
She asked the officer present there that she already had filed a complaint against Ishita Bhalla for kidnapping her daughter to which he had an answer..
Officer:- But we have just checked the papers.. Legally she is her mother so kidnapping allegation cant be proceeded..
She was shocked as she found herself losing the game. .
Officer told them the proceeding can be done only when the court opens after two days and till then they will have to wait and will have to stay as they use to..
Raman simply nodded and left the place while Shagun was left behind repeating all the nonsense she always does..
He went ahead to bring his wife and daughter back to their home as they had a bigger fight to face together.. Her support can do wonders and he knew it was all because of her silent support...
