OH. MY. GOD.

This chapter was totally... bliss. This is all I can think about right now. The way you have described Ishaani's emotions while dancing with Ranveer and their awkwardness following it was really fascinating, yet stunning. ❤️❤️

I am actually at a loss of words as to how best to describe this. All I can say is that I have tears of joy and grief both in my eyes, thinking about how we write IshVeer and how the CVs murder them.

The way you have justified Amba and Kailash's cold disappointment was simply fabulous. 👏👏👏 There is no hatred, only resentment of how unfair that night was over Ranveer. 😭😭😭 And funnily enough, I like this Falguni of yours. You have maintained her character from the pre-leap and it has a charm of its own, even though the suddenly-turned-saint-Falguni was good in her own way. 😛😛

But need I say the sparks I felt when I read the part where you described Ishaani's emotions related with Ranveer? ⭐️⭐️ I remembered part of the lyrics from Here With Me, sung by Susie Suh and Robert Koch, which I will quote here:

Nobody knows why,

Nobody knows how, and

This feeling begins just like a spark,

Tossing and turning inside of your heart,

Exploding in the dark.

This was a fantastic update, Elvish! 🤗🤗 Do please, please update the next chapter soon! ⭐️⭐️ I can't wait to read more now!

Beautiful Chapter EH !!!

I really love your Ishani.. she is so much matured and sensitive..
The dance description was superb and I like the way you make them keep almost quiet around each other but describe their emotions by your words.

The past is still haunting everybody right, I hope Ishani is able to fight her demons and emerge stronger.

Keep writing !!

Chapter 18

The next few days passed without much hustle as Ishani remained busy in her own office work not getting enough time to spend upon other projects. She was offered with another of the big contracts and partnership in UK which she accepted happily. The past still haunted her at nights, so she made sure to stay away from Ranveer and anything that was close to him. However, after almost 5 days she had to go to his office as the time of her leave was over and she had to resume her work there as well.

Arriving in the office Ishani silently headed towards her cabin which was on the third floor along with Ranveer's. There were only two working rooms on the third floor and both of them occupied by Ishani and Ranveer. She expected to see Ranveer as Ishani came upto her cabin but felt relieved that he was not there, and she walked towards her own. Ishani noticed she hadn't seen Puneet as well and hoped his conversation with Ranveer, if he had had any, went good. Now there was only silence: not even the sound of air seemed to break it and the stream of water which ran nearby was frozen due to cold, so no noise came out of it as well. The time passed and Ishani worked along, her head buried behind the bundles of files and her laptop as well as other things, and sometimes she would look up to see towards the other room but it remained same as ever. She was restless. Ishani took a deep breath and tried to remain in the present but a feeling in her stomach kept churning in all the time.

Finally, after noon, almost in the evening, Ishani saw Ranveer walking towards his cabin. He looked tired which she thought he would be due to working for hours. For an unknown moment she felt like going to him and relieve him all of his worries but she was immediately reminded her of her mother's words.

Ishani, all those parents who want Disha as their daughter-in-law don't accept her only because of your friend. Can you forgive him for that?' Her mother had said. Ishani remembered how her sister went through humiliation for whatever happened years ago. She closed her eyes as she could still feel the pain Disha went through because of Ranveer. She felt a strong agitation of emotions bubbling within her: pain, guilt, hatred and almost all of the feelings she had always tried to ignore in the past, yet at the present moment guilt being the most prominent one. Ishani sat there, her eyes still closed, as she heard a familiar voice which brought her to reality.

"Is everything alright, Ishani?" she heard Ranveer say as she looked up at him.

Ishani nodded, wiping her tears but without looking at him.

"Ishani," he said. "I saw you were..."

Ishani looked at Ranveer helplessly before she spoke. This time her sanity or senses giving her away as she failed to understand what made her say what she did.

"What do you want, Ranveer?" she said reproachfully, and he was taken aback.

"What happened to you?" he said trying to understand Ishani's behavior. "You don't look fine. Is everything alright?"

"You should be worried of this, Mr. RV?" Ishani said in a mockery tone.

"Ishani, go home and take rest. Seems like something's wrong with you," he said with a concerned voice.

"What do you want to prove? That you're a God to us? To me? You are the reason Chirag and I..." and she could not finish her sentence but continued nonetheless, "And I don't have to go anywhere. It's you who doesn't leave me. Why don't you just leave me for once and for all? Why do you have to come back again and again in my life?" Ishani shouted. Her lips quivering and her body shaking. With each word she spoke the reproach in her voice increased but she knew it was for herself as she found it harder to look into Ranveer's eyes cause she could see tears in them too.

Ranveer turned away and winced as it became impossible for him to look at Ishani's hatred filled expressions. The hatred she held for him and now it became evident. Both remained silent as Ishani could not utter a single word either of hatred or of apology though she felt both the emotions gushing upwards in her throat and waiting to be spilled out in form of words, but she could only stare into nothingness that fell before her eyes.

After sometime Ranveer felt Ishani leaving the cabin. With tears in his eyes he saw her walking away. He came to his own cabin, trying to think nothing of the last 10 minutes that had taken place and hoped he would see Ishani again tomorrow walking towards her room and wearing a gentle smile on her face like she did everytime she came to him. But all that seemed too good to be real and he felt he was thrown again into this harsh reality. Tears poured out of his eyes helplessly as he for the first time in two years found himself breaking down, falling towards the dark pits he had always dreaded to be in again. The noon turned into evening and evening into dark night but nothing in Ranveer changed. He still sat there, lost in his world, tears having drought in his eyes. It hurt. The lights in the room being extremely dull things were not clearly visible but Ranveer needed none of it. Puneet had been out of town and Ranveer wished he did not return today, but to his surprise Puneet did come back. He knocked the door and Ranveer only nodded his head slightly which was enough for Puneet to get the idea that his boss had permitted him in.

"How's it going?" Ranveer asked.

"It went well, sir," Puneet responded, sensing tension in Ranveer's tone.

"How much of it is left?"

"30%."

"Good. Now we have another important thing to do. Mr. Williamson, you know him. Right?" and when Puneet nodded Ranveer continued, "Mr. Williamson has had an important deal with us: He trusted me with the papers of his new product. I do not know what it is, but it is most likely going to work wonders in medical and industrial field given both are linked with the same thing: Chemical science. So, he believes there might be a conspiracy against him as his project was already in talks; so much that except its formula nothing is a secret now. He wants it safe and says it might not be so in his own sphere, for no one would believe he can trust anyone else with this. But he does and is doing. And that's us. Puneet, no one knows this except you and me for now, and other that you there will be only two people knowing this, and I hope I can trust you with your word that you are never going to unveil this to anyone. Deal?"

"Deal." Puneet said with a smile. "All will be taken care of, sir. Don't worry."

Ranveer knew he could trust Puneet enough on this matter. "You can leave now, you must be tired. Go home and take rest."

Puneet looked at Ranveer worried for he could tell there was something wrong with him. Even in the dimly lit room he could see Ranveer's puffy red eyes and while talking to him Ranveer had to pause several times to catch his breath as it got heavier with the words he spoke.

"Are you alright?" he asked worriedly to which Ranveer nodded but unconvincingly.

"I...I'm fine. You go home," he said wincing as if something was hurting him.

"Why do I feel it's the same cause as that evening in Mumbai, sir?" Puneet asked.

"Puneet, I'm more than fine. It's just I feel tired right now. That's it. Now leave. Please."

Puneet could not argue to make the matter worse and proceeded towards the exit. Before leaving he peered back over his shoulder to have a final look on his boss to which Ranveer nodded that he is alright. Puneet left.

Ranveer sat back, Ishani's words still throbbing in his heart like a wound bleeding he tried to drift away his attention to something else but all he could see was, all he felt was Ishani, her tears, her anger and the moment of hatred in her eyes. He wished all of it could be erased by any means but nothing permitted those wounds to get healed or erased.

*

Ishani walked by the sea, her feet wet by the water which threw itself towards the shore making wet traces on the glistening sand. Ishani felt various sensations within herself rivaling to surface and make their own identity in reality while she only wished to crush them with all her power, for their presence smothered her to no end. She felt guilt and disappointment but at the same time hatred, yet she had no idea who this hatred was for: for Ranveer or for herself. She could not get his face out of her head when she had said all the harsh words to him. He tried to break my relationship with Chirag,' Ishani thought to herself to pacify the guilt part but it was of no use, for it only made her question her own feelings for Chirag.

Ranveer's look, his concern, his pleads to listen to him two years back, her own mother's words from recent conversation, Ranveer's eyes, his silent cries kept ringing in her head incessantly until she felt nothing. No pain, no emotion, no anger, nothing inside out. She did not even realize the sun had crossed itself past its horizon and the crescent moon had appeared in the sky followed by innumerable stars. She felt numb: neither any pain affected her nor any cold and nor the water of the sea and nor even its sound that she loved the most about the sea. She neither cried nor did she scream rather felt a paralyzing numbness that tore her soul apart without its realization. She sat in silence, gazing towards the sea, its undying serenity and the reflection of the moon being cast upon its surface from an infinite depth of the sky. For how long she remained in that state she could not tell, until something cracked within her, as if something broken and she felt an urgency to go back to Ranveer. Ishani ignored the feeling once, but its intensity only increased with time until she could hold no longer and gave in.

Ishani stood up and darted towards her car. It would take hours to get back, she thought, and hurried towards London, her heart pounding with an unexpected pace.

She finally reached the office, and saw the lights were off. Ranveer's cabin isn't on this side anyway,' she thought and dashed away. Getting into the office she took up the elevator and came on to the third floor quickly. By now she found her heart racing wildly under her skin as she came forward, and a loud scream came on her lips at the sight before her eyes: she saw Ranveer, collapsed on the floor, murmuring something to himself and a bottle of wine on the desk, and another one crashed on the floor. He looked weak, weaker than she had ever seen him: he could not walk, he could not speak, and Ishani herself did not deny that the ache she suddenly felt was the worse she had ever felt. She ran towards him and took him in her arms, but Ranveer seemed to sense her presence as he struggled to free himself from her arms but Ishani would not let him go.

"What is this, Ranveer? Why did you drink so much?" she cried.

Ranveer did not look at her but said something in a low whisper, "Let me go. I...I don't want to..."

In the dim light of the cabin she could see Ranveer, a disbelief, a disappointment in his eyes, their color changed and swollen. She gasped and took him in an embrace, holding him incredibly closer to her as she began crying. The tears falling from her eyes splashed down on his shoulder and soon enough he was calm, for he neither pushed her away and nor did he reciprocate but Ishani held him tightly and closely only to find the numbness leaving her for better. And after few minutes Ishani could feel Ranveer right there with her, the warmth of his body giving her comfort like it always did. But Ishani felt something was wrong...his body wasn't warm but burning. Burning with fever. Ishani stirred Ranveer while he only stared at her painfully as if accusing her of something.

"Ranveer..." she whispered slowly to which he responded with something inaudible gesture. But Ishani could not understand what he said anymore or if did at all, and before she could understand anything Ranveer lost all his consciousness. Ishani rubbed his hands but he would not wake up. She called out his name, sprinkled water on his face, but to no avail.

"Don't..." she wept. "Wake up, Ranveer. Please wake up." Nothing worked.

Sigh! Hey, guys! Hopefully one wasn't as bad 'cause my nervousness is at its peak for the obvious reasons. This chapter's the toughest to write. jeez! Okay, I'll shut myself now. But... :/
