Chapter-13
RI-I-I-ISKParmeet came to Shagun's consultancy and shocked to see her in such a horrible state that she is just a shadow of the person whom he knows. He couldn't hold on but ran to her and embrace her. She cried out in his arms saying nothing but something which he couldn't understand at all. He made her sit and relax by giving her a glass of water. She choked on the water unable to control her sobs. Parmeet was speechless when she started to disclose her worries.
"Ashok called me...Param it's true...He called me...he is alive...my Ashok is alive and he told me everything. I'm scared. I'm so scared Param...Help me..." Shagun said in between her hiccups.
"What you mean? Then you should be knowing who is behind all these? Meri Ishu ko kya horaha hai yeh bhi toh tujhe pata hoga nah?" Parmeet asked hoping a positive reply.
[You might be knowing what's all happening to my Ishu]
"Yes...I know...I know everything."
"Does Abhi know all these?" Parmeet asked worried.
"No...he doesn't. We should sort it out without letting him know." Shagun said wiping off her tears.
"We should infom Raman about all these..." Parmeet said taking out his mobile.
Shagun said grabbing his mobile, "Not everything. Just about Ishita's problem..."
Parmeet nodded and called Raman. "Come here in an hour..."
**************************************************
"Ishita...coffee..."
It's the usual call for Ishita from her bedroom from the last week. Raman is acting so caring and loving. Moreover, he is acting like a responsible husband nowadays. Ishita is on cloud nine for watching the visible change in him. More than that, she felt so happy for not forgetting a single moment they spent together after marriage.
Ishita entered the room with a cup of coffee but in a swift movement of his hands Raman kept the coffee on the dressing table and pulled her to him by her shawl which was around her neck from back to front.
"What's this Raman...Leave me..."she shied.
"Let me store some memories...pata nahin kal tum pagal hogi ya bhir mujhe bhool jaye..." Raman joked.
[Who knows if you gets mad or forgets me tomorrow...]
"You know what Raman...I'm fine...Main aaj-kal kuch bhool hi nahin jaati..." She smiled while he intently looked at her innocent face.
[I'm not forgetting anything nowadays]
"Can I ask you something..."Raman asked her while she wounded her hands around his neck.
"You ask for permission for everything Raman!" She exclaimed.
"Alright...tell me something which will make you remember me..even if you..." His eyes welled up before he could complete.
"What's wro...ng?" Ishita cupped his face.
"Oh God...I think I'm hopelessly in love with you..." He said sighed making a puppy face.
"Are you regretting for that?" She asked pulling his nose.
"Maybe yes...maybe no..." He destroyed the romantic moment.
***************************************************
"Raman...where are you going?"
Ishita asked him while he was fixing his hairdo. He smiled saying that he is not alone but she should also come with him.
"Lekin...kya hua? Hum kahan jaa rahe hai?" Ishita asked standing beside him.
[But what happened? Where are we going]
"Arey...honeymoon...aur kya?" Raman said smacking her head with the comb.
[What else?]
"Wh-what? Honeymoon? Itne jaldi?" Ishita rolled her eyeballs in shock.
"Oh madam...toh kya budda-buddi hone ke baad jaane ka irada hai?" Raman asked keeping his hands on her shoulder.
[Are you planning to go after getting old?]
"Aisa kuch nahin hai Raman...bas...voh kuch..."Ishita tried to express her discomfort.
[Nothing like that Raman...just...that..].
"See...I know it's awkward...But we should try to move on. I promise you...I won't force you or do the 'fli-fli' anymore." He joked seriously.
"Really?" She asked loudly in excitement making him close his ears.
"Pagal madrasan...chup hojao. I said I'll try. Yet to decide." He made a face.
[Shut up]
She pulled his cheeks happily and ran out to the hall. Everyone was looking at her in awe for the new glow in her face. They mistook it to be on hearing the news that they are going for the honeymoon. However, that was not the case. She was on top of the world thinking that her husband has promised to be hers only. Their relationship is going to take a new twist for good cause.
"I'll go pack my bag." Ishita said embarrassed.
"No no puttar. I packed it already." Mrs Bhalla informed her.
Meantime, Parmeet called Raman for the nth time but Raman didn't picked up the call. He didn't know what to do. Going and meeting Raman in his home was a bad option as far as Mrs Iyer's reputation was concerned. Raman is the only one who knows that he is Mrs Iyer's son. He looked at Shagun sadly saying that he couldn't get Raman through mobile.
"He is adamant...I can't believe he changed this much...!" Shagun exclaimed in tension.
"Try karthe rehte hai..." Parmeet tried Raman's number again.
[We'll try again]
"Hum amma se kahenge?" Shagun asked.
[Shall we tell Amma?]
"Nahin...abhi nahin...she will get more tensed. We should handle it together..secretly." Parmeet instructed her.
[Not now]
********************************************
Ishita and Raman got into the car after waving goodbye to everyone. Mihir and Mihika's honeymoon journey has planned the next day. So they were present there. Hence, the romantic travel to Goa begun.
It was when they were in the waiting room of the airport that Raman took out his mobile and gritted his teeth to see fifty six missed calls from Parmeet. Before he could switch off he got his next call. He wanted to cut it but then decided against it.
"Hello...Parmeet...I told you stop disturbing me and my wife." Raman said faking a smile on seeing Ishita looking at him while buying coffee for them.
"Don't be so insensitive jiju...You can't do this..." Parmeet said angrily.
"I can do whatever I want. You just stay away from me and my personal life." Raman hissed at him.
Parmeet warned him, "You're not doing good to her."
"I can't risk...just stay away..." He literally shouted on top of his voice making the coffee spill on Ishita's hands. He ran to her throwing the mobile on the process breaking it. Parmeet got astonished to know that Raman switched off the call. Raman bought an ice bag for Ishita. When he was all in caring her burned hands she asked him if everything is alright.
"Office se tha...Something urgent cropped up..." He lied.
"You want to go? Flight one hour delayed hai toh ap jaake ayiye nah..." Ishita persuaded him.
[You go to office and come]
"No it's not important...Patak will manage...You just...stay close to me..."He said cupping her
face and blowing a kiss.
"What's your problem Parmeet?"
Raman shouted at Patmeet while taking a seat across the table facing Shagun. Shagun and Parmeet narrated the whole incidents regarding Ishita to Raman whilst he just looked on in shock.
"See Raman...I want you to decide. Do you want a wife who will be mad all through her life or a healthy Ishita who will not remember you and anything related to you as it is a recent incident?" Shagun asked.
"You mean...she will...forget me...and...forget..." Raman's voice shivered.
"See Raman...I can't let my sister walk around madly... freaked out by the drugs. I want her to remember me. I want her to come back to life. Take over her career. I want my sister back." Parmeet roared and Shagun made him sat beside Raman after calming him down.
Before Shagun could do anything, Raman roared on top of his voice, "The same goes to me Mr Parmeet Acharya. I'll die for her but won't let her forget me. And my decision is...I don't care if she gets mad...I want her for myself forever. I can't let her forget me ever. You got me right... I don't' want Ishita to go through this treatment."
"You're doing wrong Raman...don't be so selfish..." Shagun said miserably.
"Yes I am...I'm damn selfish. You know something Shagun...I've never been in love. I thought I don't love her. But the fact is...I can't even think of being without her. It's true... that...I love her...I'll do...no matter how she is...what she is...please...please don't take her away. Please don't take her away from me..." Raman cried folding his palms in front of Parmeet and Shagun.
"I can't see her as a lunatic...I can't jiju..." Parmeet hugged Raman.
"Trust me...I'll always love her...It's just that I can't bear the pain of her oblivion... Of our life together..." Raman said throbbing.
"We have only a few months time Raman...Just think about her..." Shagun pleaded.
"I've just started to smile...please let me
enjoy it till...I cries...!"TO BE CONTINUED...
