Ishita eyes became widened on seeing his presence in her hospital. he was standing with bala with his Charming smile and a bag. her body gives her goosebumps on seeing his presence. she didn't mentioned or showed him but feelings of his plumpy soft lips was still lingering in her hairs. was that their officially first kiss? she knew Raman very well. he is a person who never cross his limits with her without her consent but today, today she felt something different. its not that, that she was sad in fact she was feeing herself beautiful after his attempt. It was their first attempt to came closer physically. she realised her eye lashes were downing with each passing second as he was approaching them.
Raman eyes never left her from the moment they entered in hospital cafeteria. he catches her first glipms from her backside. she was sitting with vandita and laughing on some matter. her laugh reminds him her sobs and cries, her face full of tears. how she cried while hugging him, refused to leave him and how he absentmindedly kissed her in her hairs. " did she knew about that incident? " Raman was asking himself because he was also unaware with the answer. she liked his kiss or not was another question but here he didn't even knew that whether she knew about his kiss. he knew he was wrong he crossed his boundaries but he also knew that whatever he did was unintentionally. his heart skipped a beat when he saw her big black eyes locked with him when she noticed him. her eyes... her eyes was always word as her second voice. he saw how many emotions her eyes showed him in few seconds. from surprise to shock, from questions to shyness, from excitement to happiness everything.
they both secured their seats with their spouses. Vandita was first who broke the silence between them. " so Raman..tum yahan par kaise? " [ so Raman... why you came here ] Raman smiled fondly by looking at ishita side and continued, " woh actually... ishita aaj apna lunch laana bhool gayi thi toh... " [ actually ishita forgot to took her lunch with her today so... ]
" sahi main lunch dene aaye ho ya apni nayi naveli biwi se Milne aaye ho " [ did you really came here to give her lunch or came here to meet your newly wedded wife ] vandita said with a mischevious grin and hi fied bala. Raman looked at ishita. she was looking at other side and was smiling silently. he ruffled his hairs and cleared his throat, " aisa kuch bhij nahi hai. main sach mein isko yahan naashta dene aaya tha " [ its nothing like that, I am seriously here to gave her breakfast ]
he opened the bag, and picked out the 2 small papaer bags from it. Raman opened the first one bag. it was full of hot steaming idlis. ishita immediately grabbed the bag from him. she took a deep breath and inhaled the idlis steam. Raman smiled on seeing her childish antiques but he knew how much she missed her south Indian breakfast in her Punjabi home. he sometimes thought why he didn't thought about her small wishes?? whenever he thought about their last one month journey, their marriage circumstances, his promise to himself everything came in his mind. he never thought in his dreams that their life will took a complete change in this one month. he never imagined that his day will start with her thoughts and also ended with her smiling face. he never thought that her tears started to matter him so much. its true that his life changed a lot in this past one month & he is enjoying this new changes. her presence, her chatters, her fragrances, her .around him, every... everything was beautiful for him.
he again gazed at her and found she was busy in serving the idli, sambhar and chutnies to everyone. she offered him his plate and gestured him to eat. Raman obliged her both started to eat. bala and vandita was already enjoying their meal and was lost in their own world. Raman glanced at ishita and found she stuffed lots of bites in her mouth like a small kid and her mouth was looking like a small balloon.
" ishita aaram se khaao " [ ishita wat slowly ] Raman gestured her and pointed towards her mouth. she narrowed her brows to him and continued eating. Raman found it so cute. he sometimes thought how will he handle her childish antiques lifetime?? he shook his head in disbelief as he knew he will handle her.
ishita was looking like she was busied with food but truth was something different. her heart was fluttering when she saw Raman with bala Sir. her heart knew how much she was carving for his presence after morning incident. her heart wanted to see him near her each second. she never admitted but she knew he was her backbone now... its impossible for her to imagine her each and every step without him. she didn't know why she felt something beautiful when he was around her. but yes it was beautiful and she always wanted to feel beautiful from him. she glanced at him aand found he was busy in eating and was chatting with bala about his new project. she again affectionately again looked at him. he was so busy today but still he managed to stole sometime for her. " thank you for everything Raman, thank you for making everything so beautiful for me " she said to herself.
the rest of the breakfast was normal as vandita, Raman and bala was busy in chatting and ishita was listening their talks. trio were discussing about their old life. she was unable to understand anything and didn't found good to interrupt so she decided to keep mum.
" ishita. chalo lunch time over ho raha hai. hume waapis bhi jaana hai. chale? " [ ishita. lunch tie is going to over. we have to leave now, shall we go? ] vandita asked while cleaning her hands with tissue. ishita looked at her watch.yes she was right, one hour is going to complete soon and its time to resume their duties. se sadly looked at Raman who was smiling with bala, that made her little annoyed. here she wanted to spend some more time with him and he was busy in his own world. " Raavan Kumar. here I am sad and he is busy in gossips. he even talks more then girls. I should name him gossip Kumar now " ishita murmurred to herself and again looked at Raman who was busy with bala. but she knew how much he was busy and how he always tried to made feel everyone special in his life.
" mam...sorry akka. kya main Raman ko apna cabin dikha kar aaon? " [ mam...sorry akka. can I came after showing Raman my cabin? ]
Raman was so surprised with the word akka from her mouth. he never thought that ishita and vandita became so friendly on few hours and his madrasan will accept vandita easily but he knew she was a love carving soul who always tried to find love in each person. he greeted vandita and bala and followed ishita lead whobwas happily held his hand.
" so yeh mam akka kaisa ban gayi? " [ so, when your mam became your akka? ] Raman asked when they were going towards her cabin.
" woh...unhone hi kah tha ki main unko akka bulaao. Raman aapko theek toh lava na yeh? " [ woh...actually she told me to call her akka. are you comfortable with that? ]
" main khush hoon ishita. actually vandita ki koi choti behen nahi hai so bas shaayad tumhe dekhke usko laga hoga ki uski yeh kami poori ho jaaegi " [ I am happy with that ishita. actually vandita didn't have an younger sister spo might be after seeing you she thought that you will be able to fulfill that space]
ishita smiled on listening Raman's words. she thought how beautiful relations are. the lady who was completely unknown for her, became her akka in matttern simple few minutes. she didn't even know her, about her behavior, about her personal life but yet she accepted her. she was so much lost in her thoughts that she didn't even noticed that they were standing in front of her cabin.
" Dr. Ishita R Bhalla " named board was stick there on the door of the cabin. Raman fondly ran his fingers on word doctor. how much it was looking beautiful before her name. ishita gestured him to open the gate. they both entered in the room together. the room was normal in looks but was looking good. decorated with the combination of light brown and white color, the room have one centre desk, one plush chair with 2 chairs for visiters. one wall was filed with her certificate and appreciation certificate. her certificate when she secured first position in her college, her working experience certificate in hospitals, her appreciation certificate for working in remote control areas and in rural areas, her presentation papers submitted in medical journal and many more. Raman was feeling more proud on her today.
he grabbed her hand and pushed her towards her chair. he made her sit on the chair and secured visitors seat near her. he picked out his phone and clicekd her image. ishita was amused with this behavior exactly what he is trying to doing.
" Raman aap yeh kya kar rahe ho? yeh baat baar photoes kyon kheech rahe ho? " [ Raman what are you doing exactly? and why aree you clicking pictures? ]
" madam proof ke liye le raha hoon " [ madam I am taking this for proof ]
" proof? "
" haan taaki logo ko bharos ho jaae ki tum sacchi ki doctor ho " [ to made peoples believe that you are really a doctor ] Raman said with a grin while ishita looked him with glaring eyes but very next minutes joined him in laughter. the next minutes they spend together while seei her certificates. she was explaining him about her each achievement and about her beautiful days.
" madam ji, bade saahab ne sabhi doctors ko general ward mein bukaaya hai. aap bhi aa jaaea " [ mam, HOD sir called all doctors in general ward. please you also come there ] ishita looked at Raman. he started to collect his belongings and ready to leave. she know it was final time and this time he needed to go, she don't know why she don't want to depart from him but she knew it is not possible. she finally bid him bye with heavy heart and both leave forb their respective works.
***************************************
" mihika tune ishita bhabhi se baat ki? I think aaj ghar pe kuch hua tha. " [ mihika did you talked with ishita bhabhi today? I think something was happened in home today ]
" haan mihir, actually woh uncle ko pata chal gaya ki ishu apni studies complete karna chahati hai. isliye aaj ghar pe kaafo scene create ho gaya tha " [ yes mihir, actually uncle now knew that ishita want to resume her studies without his concern that's why he created lots of scene in home ]
" roh isliye aaj uncle Raman par itna naaraaz ho rahe the " [ oh that's why uncle was so much annoyed with Raman today ]
" but mihir aaj main is baat se bohot khush thi ki Jiju ne uncle ke decision ke against jaake ishu ko support kiya " [ but mihir the best part was that Jiju supported ishita against uncle wish ]
" haan mihika yeh tohn saCH hai. hairaan toh main bhi hoon mihika. aaj se pehle Raman bhai ne kabhi bhi uncle ke decision ko oppose nahi kiya but aaj, aaj toh sab kuch hi change tha " [ yeh mihika this thing is true. before today Raman never opposed uncle decision but today... today was something different in his behavior ]
" aur mihir ishita ne bhi kabhi uncle ki baat ko oppose nahi kiya but aaj usne sirf apne dil ki suni aur jiju ka haath thaam kar chal padi " [ and mihir even ishita also never opposed uncle decision bit today she listened her heart and followed her heart with Jiju ]
" inka rishta kitni khoobsoorti se aage badh raha hai na mihika, ek doosre so samjhte hue, dono ki choti choti khwaahishon ka khayaal rakhte hue. haina mihika? " [ how beautifully their relationship is progressing na mihika with lots of understandings. both are trying to move forward by respectingw each other wishes. right mihika? ]
" haan mihir. yakeen nahi hota na yeh wahi ishita Raman hai jinhone ek doosre ko apnaane se bhi mana kar diya tha but aaj dekho, dono kaise ek doosre ki dhaal banke khade hai. " [ you are rite mihir. I am still not believing that they are same ishita and Raman who didn't wanted to accept each other but now, now they both are each others shield. they both came a long way mihir. ]
" not yet mihika. there are still many things which are still unknown in their relation. Raman bhai took her all pain but what about his pain? "
" matlab? tum kya bolna chahate ho mihir? kya Jiju ne ishu se kuch chupaya hai? " [ means? what di you wanted to say mihir? did Raman bhai hide something from ishu? ] mihir realised from mihika words what he said now? it was not about him, of was about Raman and his life and he don't have rights to open about his personal moments to anyone, not even with mihika. he immediately finished his coffee, paid their bills and left the place with questioning mihika.
she understood that there was something which mihir wanted to said her but he stopped but what was that? why he stopped? and why Raman hid that from ishita? did she knew the answers of that questions aur like her these questions are also mystery for her. she sipped her remaining coffee with these questions.
***************************************
they both were finally at home now. both of them were damn tired with their day. where Raman have backache because of back to back meetings and ishita immediately wanted to sleep because her kegs was in no more conditions to walk. after their duties, they both almost walked for 1:30 hour for her books in various Delhi markets which tired them more and now they both were slumped down on bed. their legs were hanging in mid and they both were just laid down flat with closed eyes.
Raman opened his eyes and found ishita might be slept. he rested his head on elbow and keenly watched her. her face was clearly telling him how much she was exhausted with her day but the glow was still on her face. he reminded how much she was excited in car and how excitedly she narrated her whole day to Raman and how happily she purchased her books. she was so tired because of her hospital schedule but still she is roaming in one shop to another shop and purchasing her book. he slowly ran his hand in her hairs and heard her humming. he slowly took his bag from her hand and put it aside and left for restroom for change by switching off the lights.
ishita slowly opened her eyes. she tried to adjust her vision but her eyes were unable to found light. the room was dark. she rubbed her eyes and try to get up but was failed. something lite was on her body. she ran her hand and realised it was quilt. she removed her quilt and switch on lamps. the room was full of silence now and Raman was not in room.
" Raman...Raman...kahan hai aap? " [ Raman...Raman...where are you? ] she cheaked restroom and balcony also but he was nowhere in room. she immediately went for shower and came after change in her comfortable night gown. she was about to go outside to search Raman when she found Raman was coming with the tray of dinner. she took the tray from him and placed on centre table.
" Raman aap yeh dinner...yahan kyon? " [ Raman... why you took our dinner here? ]
" mujhe laga ki tum so rahi hogi isliye main yahi khana le aaya. " [ I thought you was sleeping that's why I took food here ] ishita smiled fondly on his concern. he never left a single moment to amuse her. they both sat on coffee table and started to ate their food silently.
" Raman daai ma ne khana khaaya na? " [ Raman, did daai ma took her dinner? ]
" haan. jab main gaya tab woh medicines hi le rahi thi. " [ yes she was taking her medicines when I went there ]
" Raman..."
" hmm..."
" kal se hum sable saath neeche hi khana khaayenge " [ from tomorrow we will eat with everyone ]
" ishita. kya tumne aaj se pehle is ghar mein sabko saath khana khate hue dekha hai? nahi na? " [ ishita. did you ever saw everyone here together for dinner? ]
she didn't have answer for his question. she didn't say anything and both silently completed their dinner. after dinner she kept e utensils in sink and secured her position in bed.
" oh madam. tum abhi so kyon rahi ho? " [ oh madam. why are you sleeping now? ]
" matlab? " [ means? ]
" padhaai nahi karni hai? chalo jaakar padhaai karo " [ oh madam... didn't you want to study? go and study ]
" aaj nahi Raman. aaj main bohot that gayi hoon. kal se " [ not today Raman. I am so tired today but from tomorrow ]
" no tomorrow ishita, it will be from today " he didn't gave her chance to speak something. he grabbed her hand and lead her to couch and handed her bag of books and gestured her to start her study. ishita pouted on his strictness but she knew he is rite and she started her studies while Raman secured his place in bed and start reading novel. both were busied in their world but was smiling lovingly with the memories of the day.
***************************************
it was 11:45 in night. Raman glanced in watch and then at ishita. she was studying but her eyes were dropping after every 5 minutes. he knew that she is tired but he also knew that she need to complete her study also. he got up from his place and went outside while ishita was completely unaware with it.
ishita was busy in making notes. she was feeling so sleepy but she knew that she need to be punctual. she again drank water and started making her notes when she felt something hot was near her. she glanced at side table and found it was cup of filter coffee and Raman was standing near side table with other cup of coffee. her smile widened and she immediately grabbed her coffee mug and kept books aside.
" Raman aapko kaise pata ki mujhe yahi chahiye tha? " [ raman how did you knew that I exactly want that? ]
" woh kya hai na Dr. ji padhaai hume bhi ki hai na isliye " [ actually Mrs Dr. we also completed our studies na, thatsa why ]
ishita shook her head and start sipping her coffee and it was like her taste. strong with less sugar. she thumbs up for coffee while Raman said thanks in Japanese way. both smiled at each other and headded towards balcony.
it was raining outside. the smell of soil was in atmosphere and they both were sitting on armchairs with their coffees.
" Raman how did you know vandita and bala sir? "
" we was neighbours in London. they both were completing their MS while means mihir was in undergraduate program "
" but we have our own bungalow in London then how can they our neighbours? "
" because I was living with mihir and even min dad aree unaware with this " Raman said with sly smile. he smiled on his sweet moments of London which he spent with vandita, bala, mihir. romi and neel
ishita laughed on his childish antique. he was really childish at same time, next few minutes she spent her time with Hus old memories. she shared his college life. how he lied to his mom dad that he is living in their bungalow but the Ruth was he is living in mihirs 1 bhk apartment. how they used to bully their teachers by doing unusual things and many more. Raman was laughing throughout the time and ishita giggles was adding beauty in it. she never saw his any photograph of his old days but ya she was able to imagine his life moments, she was able to live his moments. she glanced at mobile and play radio. seems like RJ was with them today. the song was playing was perfectly suiting them. they both leaned back on chair and closed their eyes.
Yeh Tumhari Meri Baathein, Hamesha Yuhin Chalti Rahe
Yeh Hamari Mulakate, Hamesha Yuhin Chalti Rahe
Beete Yuhin Apne Saare Din Raat
Baaton Se Nikalti Rahe Nayi Baat
Phir Wahin Baathein Leke Geet Koi Hum Likhe
Jo Dil Ko Haan Sab Ke Dil Ko Chu Le
Baathein Suron Mein Yuhin Pighalti Rahen
Baathein Geeton Mein Yuhin Dalti Rahen
Geeton Mein Haan Humko Khusiyon Se Haan Saja De
Jo Sune Gaaye Woh Hum Se Gaaoon Na
" you have so much sweet memories from London na? with friends and college? "
his expressions became changed after hearing word sweet memories. his glitring face was now emotionless. something reminded him which he never wanted to recall. " every memory is a sweet memory its not important ishita. that all are old things and it will be better not to recall them. its late now. so please complet's your topic and come for sleep " he finished his coffee and went inside for sleep.
ishita was still sitting outside. 10 minutes was already passed and she was thinking about Raman words. " bas memories... did something was happened with raman there? and if something was happened then why I am unaware with it? I know his eyes wanted to say me something but why he is unable? "
her mind was revolviung around Raman now. she knew that something might be happened with him but he is uncomfortable to share with her but she also knew at she need to find it.
okk...so finally I am done with this part. I hope you will all like it. will wait for your reviews
