ISHRA Three Shots: A rain to remember...(COMPLETED)

(What kind of mother are you? How can u spy on your child?)

"Main jasoosi nahi kar rahi thi!"

(I was not spying!)

"Really...? Hidden camera laga ke chupke chupke Adi ke room ki footage dekh rahi thi. Yeh jasoosi nahi toh kya hai? Seriously you are unbelievable."

(Really..? By the means of a hidden camera, you were secretly looking into Adi's room's footage. If it is not spying then, what is it? Seriously you are unbelievable.)

"Raman, apni jabaan ko lagam laga." Toshi ji shouted.

(Raman, control your tongue.)

"Maa tum beech mat bolo. Aaj hadh ho gayi hai and I need to clear this out."

(Mom, don't speak in between. This is a limit and I need to clear this out.)

"Sahi hai mummy ji. Aap mat bolo pls. Kehne do inhe jo kehna. Aaj main bh dekhti hu ki jyada se kya hoga."

(He is right mummy ji. Please don't speak in between. Let him speak what he wants to. I will see what extreme will happen today.)

"Nahi I puttar! Meri gal sun..." Toshi knew this fight is going somewhere horrible.

(No I! listen to me...)

"Mummy ji please,aaj nahi!"

(Mummy please, not today!)

She turned towards Raman and said "Ab boliye aap jo bol rahe the."

(Now speak what u want to.)

"Look, tumhara jo yeh jagga jasoos wala shauk hai, ise ghar ke bahar he chod kar aaya karo. Ghar par mere bachcho par ise azmane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai."

(Look, your passion for spying should be left out of the house. At home, there is no need to try it on my kids.)

"Aapke bachche!! Woh mere bhi bachche hai. Jitna haq aapka hai, utna he haq mera bhi hai unpar."

(Your kids!! They are my kids too. I have equal rights on them as you have.)

"No way! Unpar tumhara koi haq nahi hai... mere bachche hai woh dono!"

(No way! U don't have any right on them... they are my kids.)

"Raman!" Toshi shouted "Bas kar! Yeh jyada ho raha hai"

(Raman! Stop it! This is beyond limits.)

"Nahi mummy ji sahi toh kah rahe hai yeh. Mera koi haq nahi hai inke bachcho par. Har baar ka yahi hai.. kuch bhi hota hai toh sabse pehle meri mamta ko katghare mein khada kar dete hai yeh. Kabhi yeh sochne ki koshish nahi karte ki jo maine kiya uske phichhe wajah kya thi. Bas chilane ka mauka chahiye. Kitni aasani se keh dete hai ki main ek achchi maa nahi hu!" she said in anger emphasizing his kids. She was very hurt this time.

(No mummy, he is right. I don't have any right on his kids. This happens every time.. whatever happens the first thing he do is to put a question mark on my motherhood. He doesn't even try to think what made me took such a step. All he needs is a chance to shout. With such an ease he always says that I am not a good mother. )

"Tum maa hi nahi ho."

(You are not a mother.)

"Raman, apni had mein reh. Bolne se pehle soch toh kya keh raha hai. Gussa hai toh iska matlab yeh nahi ki kuch bhi bolega. Aise kaise tum keh sakte ho ki Ishita Adi ki maa nahi hai." toshi was shocked on r's childish behavior.

(Raman, stay in your limits. Think before you speak anything. Your anger doesn't gives you the right to say anything. How can you so easily say that Ishita is not Adi's mother.)

"Main nahi hu maa, toh thek hai. Main jaa rahi hu. Aap sambhalo apne bachche!"

(I am not a mother. Fine then, I am going. Take care of your kids on your own.)

"Go then."

She left the Bhalla house teary eyed. Toshi and Mr. bhalla tried to stop her. But this time, she had decided that it is not going to end so easily. Enough is enough!

~~~~~~~~~

He let out a sigh. He was in such a good mood yesterday. He had planned to make a special evening out of it. He glanced at the dried gajras lying on the dressing table. He had brought sweet smelling gajras for her hoping that he would get a chance to put them up on her hairs and spend some moments alone with her. He had been planning so many things in his mind. But Alas... there is definitely some problem with his destiny, whenever expects something, he gets disappointed.

Holi turned out to be a mess because of Shagun.

After that, all that custody fiasco.

Then, Raj and Simran came to seize their room and she gave it to them so easily. Jagat mata!!

On Simmi's engagement, he finally managed to get some time alone with her. Yet again, Shagun!!!!

Yesterday can't be left out either... to point out some disappointments out of a never ending list.

"Saali kismet he kharab hai.." he thought aloud.

It was around 4:30am.

"Abb kya karega beta! Madrasan toh gayi apne ghar. How can I act so stupid.. I mean seriously...

Have I gone mad or what??

How can I question her love for our kids? Our kids...

Maa sahi kehti hai.. jab mujhe gussa aata hai main sab bhul jata hu! Bina soche samjhe bakwas pe bakwas karta hu. Baad mein guilty feel karta hu."

(Dude! What will you do now? Madrasan has gone to her home. How can I act so stupid.. I mean seriously... Have I gone mad or what?? How can I question her love for our kids? Our kids... Mom is right, whenever I am angry I speak without thinking once. I talk completely rubbish in anger. After that I feel guilty.)

"Lekin usne jo kiya who bhi toh sahi nahi tha. Adi ki jasoosi karne ki kya zaroot thi. Kitna embarrass hua hoga woh Vinnie ke samne."

(But what she did was not correct either. What was the need to spy on Adi. He must have been very embarrassed in front of Vinnie.)

"Again koi wajah hogi."

(Again there must be some reason)

"Uff..still what I did and said was wrong in every manner. I shouldn't have said that. I don't have any right to question her motherhood."

He felt suffocated. There was no window or balcony, so he decided to go out and have a walk around. Maybe it will help him to come up with some idea to patch up Mission-PATAOing.

~~~~~~~~~~

He went down. It was still dark to be called a morning- dawn you may say! Silence prevailed everywhere. He took a deep breath and started to wander aimlessly. It was drizzling a bit. He didn't care about that. All he wanted was some peace. Then, suddenly he heard someone's sobs and he knew whose - his Ishita. He began looking for her and found her sitting on the bench, crying. Her eyes were closed yet tears were flowing continuously. He knew he was the reason of her tears. He knew how badly he wanted to go to her, wipe the tears that were brimming her enchanting eyes, take her into a tight hug and comfort her. Tell her how much he love her... what she meant him... to assure her that what he did was in a fit of anger, he didn't mean any of his words. She is the best mother his kids could have got. He decided to take a step forward and stopped midway. Seeing her so vulnerable increased the guilt in him.

Tiny drops of rain were caressing her face... he couldn't! He was jealous of rain!!

The wind blew her long hair, kissing them lightly...! He was jealous of wind!!

The shawl she was wearing, hugged her... tightly wrapping her in its embrace...! He was jealous of her shawl!!

This lady is driving me crazy... ;)

He didn't knew how long he stood there... sun had begun to rise... its rays were slowly coming in through the clouds. After gathering all the courage, he decided to move ahead and talk to her. When he was about to take a step forward, his phone rang.

Kismet you see!

This made Ishita aware of his presence, and opened her eyes to find him standing at a distance looking at her. She wiped her tears and turned to leave. A tear escaped from his eyes.

He checked his phone. It was not a call but a reminder alarm. He has to go to pick up Ruhi from her summer camp. Well the parents were supposed to pick up their kids from Gurgaon branch of school. Now he has to leave for Gurgaon.

"Kuch kar beta kuch kar!! Woh dadi amma a gayi toh tujhe kahin ka nahi chhodegi. Kuch bhi kar ke Ishita ko mana na toh padhega."

(Dude! You need to something or Ruhi will not leave you. By any hook and crook, you have to convince Ishita.)

His mind was busy thinking about the possible alternatives. Finally an idea struck his mind.

Mil gaya idea! I love you Ruhi darling.
