Chapter-9
RAB KA ISHAARA...!"Kehte hain khuda ne is jahan mein sabhi ke liye...
Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye...
Tera milna hai us rab ka ishara maano...
Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye..."
[They say God has, for everyone in this world
Someone or the other, is there for every one.
Meeting you, is a sign from God, believe me
I was made for someone just like you]"I...Parmeet...I...killed him...I'm so...rry...I love you Ram...an..."
As he kissed her to sleep she slipped into oblivion. One thing he is vivid now that who ever is behind all that happened to his sister and his then lover, now wife, is no more.For his satisfaction that monster died by his wife's hands. What more he want! He looked at her innocent face which is still wearing a frown of fear. By gently patting her forehead, he washed off the wrinkles from her beautiful face. She turned to his side, a soft smile adorning her lips and hugged him tight resting her head on his chest. Kissing her hair he pulled over the duvet and stroked her to sleep peacefully. However, he was not over the incidents just happened. He felt the thoughts annihilating his very being.
"Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta...
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta...
Kaise hum jaaneN hume kya pata...
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta..."
[There is some connection with you,
there is some connection with you,
How I know this, I have no idea...
there is some connection with you...]She moved closer to him in her sleepiness. He was scared...scared to hug her back. He had the feeling that she is fragile. He felt that his touch may crush her to nothingness like a bubble. So he tried to move away. Taking her head gently from his chest he made her sleep a little away from him. When he tried to cover her naked body with the overcoat of the gown he felt the net fabric itself is very hard for her friable body. After covering her with the duvet he laid next to her looking blankly at the sealing. He felt her moving closer to him. He slowly moved an inch away.They kept on doing it until she stopped. He sighed a relief, but astounded when her whimpering reached his ears piercing his heart. He never thought of making her cry. He couldn't hold himself back but ask the reason for her sobs.
He leaned over her and stared at her cute face which smeared in tears. She slowly opened her eyes still reeling. He was not touching her in any way, but keeping up the distance not to hurt her.She looked at his face and slowly moved down to see his hands resting either side of her but far away. He gripped on to the pillow care enough not to fall on her. When she brought her hand to touch his face, his instincts made him turn his face sideways disappointing her. She was all shattered now. His rejection was the last thing she expected. But she was unmindful of the fact that her husband is more fragmented than she is.
Ishita in a quivering and vague voice: "You...won't let me touch you...because...I'm not...pure...?"
It was unforeseen. He never thought that she would feel like that. He never in his dreams thought that his action could be interpreted in this way.
Raman: In a soft voice, "No...it's not like that...it's just..."
Ishita: "I know you don't like me anymore...because...you're not the first man who..."
Raman: "Shush...no...Don't say that...I love you Ishita...I love you the way you are. I never fall in love with your body...It's you...the real you whom I love...Just...try to understand..."
Ishita: "Then why are you keeping me away from you?"
Raman: Mustering all the courage to unfold his worries he spits out in a shivering voice, "Sorry baby...It's because I'm scared...I may hurt you...I'm scared to touch you...I don't know how to...I...am...sorry...but...trust me...I really love you...so much..."
Ishita: Understanding his state, "It's me who always hurts you...You can never hurt me Raman.."
"Tu humsafar hai, phir kya fikar hai...
Jeene ki wajah yahi hai marna isi ke liye...
Kehte hain khuda ne iss jahan mein sabhi ke liye
Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye"
[You are with me, I have no worries
This is the reason to live and the reason to die
They say God has, for everyone in this world
Someone or the other, is there for every one]With that she caressed the spots where her nails wounded him, her blows scrunched him. He looked at her lovingly still he was shivering under the influence of the aftermath of their love making. He was in a trance which broke by her yet another sobbing statement
"You're still away from me Raman..." Regaining his senses, he looked at her welled up eyes and loosened his grip on the pillow letting him softly land on her.
"Am I hurting you..?" He was still apprehensive about everything.
His love for her made him yearn for her closeness at the same time pulled him back from being close. She could feel his body stiffened. Though he was on top of her, she felt him holding back his weight. She was engulfed in the pool of love at the realisation that she got such a caring husband. She circled her hands around his neck and pulled his head slowly into the nape of her neck and mumbled,
"Relax...just relax into me..." He breathed in her aroma and slowly ran his hand to her waist to reciprocate her caresses. Her hands moved to his hair where she kissed while fondling. He snuggled closer to her whilst she held him like her baby. He cuddled more into her drowning in the love and warmth. She whispered in his hair,
"Sorry baby...I scared you...I'm sorry...I love you..." He nuzzled her in his peaceful slumber murmuring
"I love you more..." making her lips deck in a breathtaking smile which he could feel near his earlobe.
"Meherbaani jaate jaate mujhpe kar gaya...
Guzarata sa lamha ek daaman bhar gaya...
Tera nazaara mila...
Roshan sitaara mila...
Takdeer ke Kashtiyoon ko Kinara mila..."
[He did a favor for me as he left,
In a passing moment he fulfilled my wishes
I got a glimpse of you,
I got a sparkling star
The boats of my destiny found its shores...]NEXT DAYHe was being ready to go to office with so much happiness that anyone will feel that he is going to meet his girlfriend. The Bhalla house was in celebrating mood. The Iyers also came up there hearing the pleasant news that Ishita talked.
Ishita came to Raman after taking his vest when he was doing his usual hair styling. She made him wear it while he didn't even looked at her through the mirror. Disappointed by his ignorance, she walked away only to crush back to him in a tight back-hug. He swayed to a silent music with her in his arms. She was surprised by his sudden romantic antic. She turned and hugged him back with content. They conversed still in the hug.
Raman: "What did you think?"
Ishita: "That you're still scared"
Raman: "Scared?"
Ishita: "You were saying it...yesterday..."
Raman: "I'm sorry..."
Ishita: "For that?"
Raman: "No..."
Ishita: "Then Why...?"
Raman thought for a while whether to tell her about his silly revenge or not. He wanted to be sincere with her. However, he has this fear that she may leave him after knowing his ploy. He cannot let her be in the darkness. He should let her know that he did hate her for some time. He made her sit on the bed and knelt down taking her hands in his. She looked on astonished by the change of his mood.
After unloading all that took over his mind to her in one go, he looked at her. She was blank which made him all the more worried. After a long pause, she removed his hand which was on hers. He was dead to see the expected happening to him. She was broken. She was teary but not crying. She was sobbing softly, but there was no voice. He stared at her apologetically
Ishita: Sobbingly, "You...did you love me yesterday...?"
Yes, she only wanted to know whether their intimacy was resultant of attraction or love. All that she concerned about was whether he loves her now or not.
Raman: "I love you more than you do to me.."
Ishita: "No...I love you more"
He sighed a relief and engulfed her in his arms. She cradled in his arms and whispered in a hissing tone, "It was him...I...killed him." He shushed her asking, "No...I don't want to hear"
Ishita: "You should know it Raman..."
Raman: "The court punished the one who killed my sister and you punished the one who...and I don't want to dig the past anymore..."
Ishita: "Still...you should know it"
Raman: "You don't know Ishita how weak I'm...I can't bear everything like you did."
Ishita: "Then...how did you come to know about me...? Is it Dr Khanna?"
He nodded in affirmative.
Ishita: "You still accepted me?"
Raman: "I never rejected you...never"
"Sadiyon se tarse hai jaisi zindagi ke liye...
Teri sauhbat mein duaayein hain usi ke liye...
Tera milna hai us rab ka ishaara maano...
Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye..."
[A life for which I've craved for centuries,
In your company, the prayers are for that life
Meeting you, is a sign from God,
Believe me, I was made for someone just like you]FLASHBACK
ASHOK AND RAMAN IN THE HOSPITAL
Raman: "Kya hua dha,?"
(What did happen?)
Ashok: "Raman listen...Joh hua soh hua...ab past ko jaane doh..."
(Past is past...let it go)
Raman: "But I want to know...Please tell me Ashok...Tum sab kuch jaan kar bhi Ishita ko support karte hai toh...Maybe it will help me LOVE HER AGAIN."
(You supports Ishita even after knowing everything)
Ashok: "But..."
Raman held Ashok's hands and pleaded him to help him out making Ashok fall in his tears.
Ashok began to narrate the past which he knows while Raman stared at him patiently hearing it.
Ashok: "She was in a pathetic condition..very badly ra...raped!"
Raman: Standing up in rage, "NO...you're lying...It can't be true..."
Ashok: "I told you Raman...you can't hold the truth..."
Raman: Miserably, "Who was it?"
Ashok: "I don't know...She was hospitalised by a young man. He was also badly wounded. Maybe he tried to save her and got stabbed."
Raman: Shockingly, "Stabbed?"
Ashok: "Yes...he died the next day. He couldn't make it"
Raman: "And Ish..."
Ashok: "Yeah...watching her in such a state was a shock for me. Moreover,she lost her voice. We were unable to get to the points. Me together with Dr Megha Malhotra treated her."
Raman: "Her family...?"
Ashok: "No...they don't know. Ishita requested Dr Megha not to tell them.They still believes that it was an accident while running away from the robbers which you also believed."
Raman: "She...was lesioned...?"
Ashok: "We thought she will...die...she was injured so badly...Watching her conditions I genuinely wanted her to die..."
Raman: "She...did cry?"
Ashok: "Raman please..."
Raman: "She was going through this pain when I thought that she ran away to save herself...!"
Ashok: "Will you hate her after this...?"
Raman: "How...how can I hate her? I...feels like I don't deserve her love..."
Ashok: "She used to cry out a name voicelessly in her unconscious state. It was yours. She wanted to tell you everything...Only to you."
Raman: "I don't want to know anything...anymore..."
******FB ENDS******He looked at her teary face and kissed her forehead before standing up to go. She catch hold of his wrist making him halt in his steps. He looked at her quizzically and she asked him with a trempling tone, "Do you really love me?"
Raman: Chuckling at her cuteness, "What you want baby...?"
Ishita: "A kiss"
Raman: "Where?"
Ishita: Pointing to her cheek, "Here.."
After giving a smoochy kiss there making the spot cover in a burgundy blee, he looked at her who showed her other cheek to him. He was generous in this matter. Showering a soft kiss there, he again looked at her expectantly. But to his dismay, she pulled his cheek and thanked him.
Raman: Making a puppy face, "This is not fair Ishita...I want more"
Ishita: "Not now sweetheart..."
Raman walked to the door dejected by his BABY WIFE. He turned back to see her laughing at him heartily making him breathe happily. After Raman's departure Ishita once again went back to the past. The past where she experienced infinite pleasure with her bestie; Shagun and the immeasurable pain they had gone through.
FLASHBACK
MUMBAI
NIGHT IN THE HOSTEL
Shagun was swapping her mobile doing nothing but ogling at her favourite actors and their tweets. Ishita was pacing here and there cursing her mobile disturbing Shagun.
Shagun: "Ishiiitaaa...what's your problem yaar?"
Ishita: "He didn't call."
Shagun: "Who...?"
Ishita: "Your brother"
Shagun: Shocked, "He has your number?"
Ishita: "No...I mean...he didn't call you yet..."
Shagun: "Oh God Ishiitaa...you're impossible. He has a meeting in AP. He will be busy."
Ishita: Frustrated, "You should have told me before"
Shagun: "You never asked and please stop eying my hot bhai"
Ishita: Dreamily, "I'm not eying...I'm loving..."
Shagun: "You know what...don't waste your time by loving elder men...They are sh*t. Look at Mihir, I kissed him twice. No reaction. He says I'm a kid. Bhai also will tell that to you some day."
Ishita: "Did you stop loving Mihir?"
Shagun: "Now I want you to stop trying my bhai because it is just a waste of time. So I will say I stopped loving Mihir."
Ishita to herself: "When will I get to hear his voice Murugan...?"
NEXT DAY
COLLEGE
Shagun and Ishita were walking to their class after meeting their favourite lecturer.
Shagun: "Awe...kitna handsome ho yaar...!"
(How handsome is he!)
Ishita: "Kuch to sharam karo yaar...Guru hai humari...!"
(Have some shame... He's our Guru!)
Shagun: "Don't be so boring Ishiiitaa...arrgh..."
Ishita: "I'm not boring... He's elder... You're not suppose to feel like..."
Shagun: "Oh hello...stop your lecture...I feels like this with a lot of elders... BIG B is also an elder! In fact, HE IS OLDER! (Dreamily) And my Mihir...awe...! (Pointing a fingure at her) And you...what are you talking about?"
Ishita: "OK...I'll make it clear. You're not supposed to lust on elders... That's bad"
Shagun: "Toh aaj se mera bhai se baat karna band karo...You're too young to do that"
(Then stop talking to my bro from today onwards)
Ishita: Angrily, "He's not my Guruji."
Shagun: "Chodo yaar..."
(Leave yaar)
They laughed at their own antics forgetting the surroundings. As they were about to get into the class, Ishita bumped into someone. She rubbed her head which hitted the man's chin in the accident. He looked sideways at her while patting his chin. She was making cute puppy faces while caressing her head. He looked at her mesmerized. Shagun came with her sword the moment he thought to apologise to the pretty girl standing in front of him. His demeanor changed instantly to that of a bad wolf.
Shagun: "Parmeet...you...! Stay away from my friend"
Parmeet: Flirtatiously, "Abi tak toh paas nahin aya hai nah...toh kahan dur jaana?"
(I didn't come close yet, then how should I stay far?)
Shagun: Firmly, "Prevention is better than cure. So don't even try to talk to her."
Parmeet: "Ab toh maza hi maza...Iyer gudi aur uski Punjabi bodygaurd!"
(It's fun. Iyer girl and her Punjabi bodyguard)
Ishita: To Shagun, "Don't create a scene here Shagun...Come let's go"
She grabbed Shagun's hand and walked inside the class only to be pulled back by Parmeet by her wrist.
Parmeet: In a dangerously husky voice, "North Indian khake bore hogaya hun...Let me EAT some curd-rice...To cool myself down...I really don't want a COLD SHOWER!"
(I'm bored of eating North Indian)TO BE CONTINUED...
PRECAP
"Hmm...no..."
"So what...not feeling sleepy?"
"No...do you..."
"Hmmm...mmm-hmmm..."
"What was that?"
"I was saying no"
"Is it madrasi style?"
So that's it Kutties...
How's it?
