PART-7
"When its gone, you'll know what a gift love was. you'll suffer like this. So go back and fight to keep it."
____Ian McEwan
"Hmm..." She whispered in her tears hugging Ruhi. Crushing her in her arms.
Raman looked on satisfied. Ashok's words started making sense! That was the moment when he realised that he did wrong by seperating them. He wanted to shout out loud at Ruhi that Ishita is her real mother. But...this is not the appropriate time. He needed to make Ruhi ready by heart to face the truth. He could not risk her princess's little heart at all.
Evenafter the emotional encounter got over, Ishita did not forget about the confrontation just took place before Ruhi entered the scene. She wanted to shout out at him that her love for him is true. Then she decided against it. Only because she very well knows the Raman Bhalla and his tactics.
For a change she decided not to bother his words, though it pricked her soul. For a change she ignored his words that her love is fake. For a change she wanted him to believe that her love was fake. Because, the first ever being who loved her so much was her akka whose happiness was what meant more to her. Shagun was her everything in that torturous family. She was a shade. Bala comes only second when she counts the amount of love she had got from them. Her sister is an angel for her.
Yet, for a change she wanted to become a little selfish on watching Raman and Ruhi this close to her. For a change she wanted to scream out loud that they are just hers. That they are her love!
"Raman...you can sleep in the guest room." Saying which she handed him Ruhi who instantly tightened her grip around Ishita.
"Let me sleep with you amma..." She grizzled at Ishita who felt it awkward.
She wanted to spend time with her daughter. She had dreamt of the day Raman himself makes Ruhi meet her. But...this reunion seemed unclear for her eyes. There she saw no future. A week was not enough. A week's love may cause her tears of a lifetime when they both leave. She wanted nothing but prepare herself to face the impending seperation.
"No Rooh...Sleep with papa. Else..he'll feel bad!" She said kissing her cheek.
"But I want to sleep with you..." Ruhi's eyes welled up.
"Don't cry Rooh...You can sleep with amma tomorrow. Now come sleep with papa.." He took her in his arms and went inside his room leaving behind a sobbing Ishita.
"Didn't ask me once...to...make her sleep with me...You're so rude." She looked on in the direction crying.
"Why amma called me Rooh...? You only call me that nah...?" Ruhi asked patting her father's stomach as if making him sleep like his mother.
"Because...she's your amma." He answered and cuddled her.
He thought of the day they named Ruhi. It was long before Shagun entered their life. Long before they came closer!
It happened when they went for a bike ride in the middle of the night. It was all Ishita's small and cute wishes. He felt like heaven fulfilling them. She was a very simple girl with whom he fell in love so badly. Anyone who knows him would not have thought of something like that. Raman Kumar Bhalla falling in love with a girl who stays out of all the categories of girls whom they would choose for this handsome hunk.
A girl who irritates him to the core. A girl who is plump. A girl who never stops talking. A girl who never demands him money or costly items but him. A girl who wants nothing but his love. A girl who never minds to barge into his cabin and pull him out without giving him a chance to get angry on her. A girl who makes him forget the rest of the worlds and make him drown in her slightest smile. A girl who could make his heartbeat lose its control with her mere presence!
She asked him to stop on seeing an icecream shop. Both bought two icecreams and started walking aimlessly whilst eating it.
"Raman...When are we going to get married?" She asked him all of a sudden making him choke on the icecream in shock.
"Oye...are you mad! Is this the way to ask such a matter? It's dark...moreover a lonely area..and you're asking me about horror!!!!" He made a face making her do an icecream facial on his face.
Both started fighting. Raman playfully started running behind her to return the favour only to get trapped again in her hands. He somewhat got angry. Apart from shouting at her he just pulled her to him by her waist and started rubbing his face on her face and neck making her creamy skin stain in icecream.
"Raman..." She moaned his name making him quick open his slightly closed eyes on realising what he was doing.
"I...'m sorry..." He said feeling embarrassed and started the bike to leave her home.
"It was just that...I wanted to know if you love baby girls or baby boys...and...how many kids are your dream...like...I want five!!!" She hugged him tight when he was driving making him chuckle.
"Ishita...I love babies...yeah...especially...baby girls...And...I don't have any problem to have five kids if you're ready to do it..." He said naughtily making her blush.
"Chee Raman..."
"What chee Madrasan...!!!"
"Leave it...What name will you give for our first baby?"
"Jr Ravan...!"
"Aarrrgh Raman...I'm serious..."
"Yashram...I know...kind of old...but...we can mould it by your suggestion"
"Hmm...what about baby girl?"
"Ruhi...my Rooh...She'll be just like you..." (soul) He took one of her hands from his chest and kissed it.
"Rooh..."
"Rooh...you sleep now..." He said softly only to know that Ruhi is fast asleep.
Raman came out of the room in the middle of the night to take some water and stood astonished to see Ishita sleeping in the sofa in a sitting position. He could see how tired she is because of stress and crying. He felt bad for her. Walking up to her he patted her shoulder.
"Ishita...go sleep in your bedroom."
"No...I'm alright..." She said sleepily tightly hugging a pillow.
"No you're not." Saying which he took her in his arms and made his way inside her room while she clutched on to him tightly in her half sleep without struggling to get out of his grip. He smiled remembering the day when he took her to his bedroom like this.
It was a prank by him. She had called him many times worrying for him as both of them had drenched in rain the last night. It was so romantic. Still...the after effects were so hot! Ishita fell sick by fever while Raman over slept. Finally when he attended the call he acted as if having a fever making her all the more worried. All that he wanted then was just feel her love and concern. But she came home in half an hour giving him a shock.
She was shivering in fever and anger. Anger on watching him standing in front of her sound and healthy in his track pants plugging in the earphones enjoying music, swaying to its rhythm. He ran towards her only to get pushed off by her furiously.
"You were lying Raman? How insensitive are you! I thought you're...sick and...I got...worried...but...you were playing prank on me! I hate you..." She said in between her hiccups.
"Ishita...I thought...you're alright...I'm sorry baby...listen to me..." He tried to pull her in an embrace successfully. The heat he felt on his cold skin made him tensed. She was fainting by each passing seconds making him tensed. Taking her in his arms he walked inside his bedroom.
"Nothing to worry Mr Bhalla. She'll be alright...Give these meds." The doctor patted his shoulder when he left his home.
"I'm sorry baby..." He kissed her forehead lovingly. In no time she nuzzled her face in his chest feeling good on the touch of his cold skin. Sleeping off in his arms in tiredom she was punishing his senses!
Shagun's home. Bala ran inside Shagun's bedroom only to see Shagun crying aloud clutching her left hand. On reaching her side, he realised that her hand is burned by the iron box.
"I don't know how it happened annai...! I was talking in the mobile..." She said in between her cries while the entire family reached there.
"Don't cry Shagun...You'll be alright." He said taking her in his arms.
They took her to the nearby hospital within some minutes. After dressing Shagun's burned hand the doctor prescribed some medicines and ointments.
"You should take rest at least for three days. Don't do anything by the hand. Strictly follow the medicines. You'll be alright soon." Doctor patted her.
"But...I've to go for a seminar this morning 4 o'clock!" Shagun said worried.
"Health is very important Shagun!" Bala looked at her angrily.
"To hell with it. The seminar is more important annai." She bite back.
"Shut up Shagun...You're important for us. You're going nowhere. That's it." Appa let them know the final decision.
"What'll you do in just three days Raman!!! NOTHING! I'll be there soon!" She thought to herself clenching her teeth.
