CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

He cleaned off the water and put on a pair of boxers that were in the bathroom and walked out only to find her sitting just outside the door of the bathroom.

'Raman... Raman please let me explain... Nothing happened. I swear on you nothing happened...'' She cried

'Did you sleep with him...'' He asked

'No... I swear on you, I Swear on Aryan I didn't...'' Said Ishita

'I don't get it... Why did you...'' He said holding his breath before he grabbed his pants and tried walked but she wouldn't let him

Shagun peeped out of her room and she could hear them scream but didn't say anything knowing she still had ammunition yet to go off.

'Raman...'' She tried to talk but he just asked her to

'Shhhsss... Not a word...'' He said as he began yelling as if it would calm him down

'What are you doing? Raman ...'' She cried but he wasn't having it

'You just pretty much just spat on our marriage and made an utter fool out of me... How could you do this to me Ishita'' He said

'Raman nothing happened... I swear nothing happened... Why don't you believe me'' She cried

'Because I just saw you walk into a hotel room hand in hand with another man... How the hell do you expect me to react'' He said angry

'Raman, please let us talk about this like adults I beg you...'' She cried

'It was him who was calling you wasn't it...'' He said but she kept quiet

'Answer me Dammit... Was it him calling you in the night...'' He said

'Yes...'' She cried

'Why...'' He asked

'It was work...'' She said

'Don't lie to me Ishita... I am in no mood... Was it always about work...'' He asked

'No... He was my friend so we would talk...'' He said

'What could you talk with him that you couldn't talk with me'' He asked

'It isn't that... It is not that simple...'' She cried

What wasn't...? ' He asked again clearly pissed

'It was easier to talk to him...'' Said Ishita breaking Raman's heart and she knew it

'He listened and it felt nice for once someone putting me first. Above everything else... for once I was a priority and not just second fiddle to everything else... You just up and leave when things get tough and I have to stay and pick up pieces... Do you know how hard to was...'' She said

'I thought we were passed that Goa trip...'' He said

'Well I guess I wasn't...'' She said tears filling her eyes

'So you did this to get back at me is that it...'' He said

'No... I ...'' She said making the realizing that maybe just maybe that might have been the reason

'Do you love him?'' He asked

'NO...'' She replied

'Does he love you...'' He asked and she kept quiet hesitating before she softly replied

'Yes...''

'Wow... Did he tell you...'' Asked Raman his voice breaking

'He didn't have to. But I swear he and I never slept together Raman you have to believe me...Please...'' She cried

'How... I don't trust you anymore... How do you expect me to believe you'' He said tears streaming down his face

This was hard to shallow, he had put himself out there for her to see he was willing to fight for them but she just took his love and threw it in his face like it didn't matter. He turned and looked at her feeling so betrayed only for her phone to begin buzzing. When she looked at it, she just switched it off something that got him suspicious and pissed

'Is that him...'' He asked but she kept quiet

'It is him isn't it...'' He said grabbing her phone as he smashed it on the wall as he screamed

'You did this... You did this to us...'' Said Raman his voice breaking

'I am sorry... And it is not what you thing I swear...'' Said Ishita as tears filled her eyes

'Then explain to me how this happened? How could you be so...'' He said folding his hand in a fist as he looked at her

'Raman we will sort this out. Raman please we will figure it out...'' Said Ishita because she could realize that the mistake was going cost her a lot

'No...No... I do not need to figure anything out. You need to decide whether or not you want this marriage...'' Said Raman before he grabbed his keys and walked out

She pulled the duvet that was on the bed to her as she cried as if holding onto it would give her strength.

'I am sorry... I didn't mean... I am sorry for hurting you it is not what I intended to do. I just... I am so sorry... I didn't mean... I promise you that I will do better just please come back'' she talked to herself but he was already gone and her marriage was on the verge of falling apart

'How do I know tell you that I am carrying your child...'' She cried some more thinking about the event that happened and unready for the tsunami that was coming following day.

**************************************************************

Raman was at work with the effects of last night on his mind. It was crazy how things had turned from so good to hell with in the space of hours. How the hell were they supposed to get over this fact? It wasn't fair that today of all days, they had to spend it like this, hating each other. As he walked out of his room making his way downstairs that morning with Ishita not so far behind, Simmi and Mrs. Bhalla came hurriedly to the bottom of the stairs as she screamed

'Happy Third Anniversary...'' Much to the surprise of the couple

'Thank you...'' Ishita said trying so hard to hide the awkwardness that was between them but the person who lit the fire could clearly see it

'Raman make sure you get back from work early and come to the Emerald Grand Imperial Hotel. Everyone will be waiting there as dad and mom are throwing you a party...'' Said an excited Simmi

'Yeah Shagun said that place would be nice so we figured since it was short notice, why not...'' Said Santosh

'The ... What hotel...'' Said Raman and his sister repeated it

'You have got to be kidding me...'' Said Raman irritated

'No I am not... What is with you...'' Said Simmi

'Nothing... I am late for work I have to go...'' He said walking out ignoring them all

This was close to 10 hours ago and now he had to go and pretend like he was having the perfect marriage given everything else. Ishita has been calling him but he was in no mood to answer her and so he ignored. He instead called Shagun to tell Ishita he was on his way and she didn't miss a beat to assure Ishita who was boss in this scenario.

When he got at the grand imperial, everyone was already there, Ishita's friends and family, his friends and family and a couple of family friends. He was actually willing to play along to all this fiasco at least until the night came to an end.

Everything was going on well of course and things were fine, he was smiling, shaking hands and being nice when all of a sudden Mr. Bhalla walked into the room with a piece of papers fuming and Raman could see it

'What is it now...'' He asked

'Ask your wife...''Mr. Bhalla yelled grabbing everyone's attention

'Tell him what you did...'' He added and this time even those who were not aware suddenly turned to look and see what was going on

'What did I do...'' Said Ishita

'She is pregnant...Did she tell you that...'' Sad Mr. Bhalla causing Raman to turn and look at her

'Is it true...'' He asked and she was slightly shocked

'Well yes... I was going to tell you but with everything I didn't think it was the right time...'' Said Ishita a bit scared and yet happy

'Oh My God congra...'' Said Santosh but Mr. Bhalla interrupted

'Oh No... No congratulating anyone... This has been given to me by some guy outside claiming she is carrying his baby...'' Said a disgusted Mr. Bhalla

'WAIT WHAT...'' Said Ishita

'His... what ...'' Said Raman

'Huh...'' Said Mrs. Iyer who was also there

'Ishu...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Papa that is not true...'' Said Ishita

'Oh please all those late night at the rift under the guise of working. I should have known. My son was beating himself up being riddled with guilt and if yet you were busy sleeping around. I knew it... I knew you were such a...'' He said but Santosh stopped him

'Bhalla this is not the place or time... Ishita what is going on...'' Said Santosh

'I don't know Amma... I am pregnant yes but it is Raman's...'' Said Ishita

'If so then how do you explain this...'' Said Mr. Bhalla as he handed Ishita photographs of someone who seemed to be her in the embrace of Abhimanyu in a hotel room doing all sorts of things that they shouldn't have been doing

'That is not me...'' She said shocked just like anyone else before she turned t Raman and said

'That is not me Raman I swear...'' But he just looked the photos and kept quiet

'Where did you get these, Papa...'' Asked Raman ignoring Ishita

'I asked Shagun to look into it... She has been spying on her for the last couple of months...'' Said Mr. Bhalla and he was visibly anger and disgusted

'Shagun... What the hell is going on...'' Asked Romi who couldn't believe his ears

'Don't threaten her...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

;''I am allowed to talk to my sister thank you... ' Said Romi before he turned to Shagun and screamed

'SHAGUN WHAT DID YOU DO''

He was among the few people in that room who knew what she was capable of and there was definitely more to this than they led on

'Shagun why didn't you tell me this...'' Said Raman

'Hold on... You were spying on her...'' Said Mr. Iyer who didn't like this

'I just got it this afternoon... I wanted to tell you but it was your anniversary and the party. Mr. Bhalla didn't want to wait so I just told him. I am sorry...'' Said Shagun apologetically

'Don't apologize... This is not your fault...You are not the one cheating...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'I never cheated on anyone stop saying that...'' Cried Ishita causing her mother to walk up to her and hold her saying

'Ishu... what did you do''

The room was in utter shock, everyone was on their roes to know how this was going to end. Mr. Bhalla would have asked people to leave or would have called an end to this party such that things didn't get out of hand but like his son, he didn't think straight when he was upset and so he it all this play out. There were mummers in the room and people had begun to gossip and Simmi could see Ishita was being ambushed here which wasn't right even with everything, it just wasn't fair

'Bhai... Come on not here...'' Whispered Simmi but Raman's attention was solely at someone who was just walking in

'Wow... This just gets better and better...'' He said as he turned to Ishita and grabbed her hand turning her around as he said

'Your lover is here...''

'What...'' She said as she turned to look only to see Abhimanyu walk in

'What are you doing here...'' Said Ishita as she walked into the hotel

'Oh hey you... You haven't been returning my calls so I figured...'' Said Abhimanyu as he walked a head trying hug her but she moved away

'What the hell is the matter with you? Which part of leave me alone didn't you get...'' Said Ishita

'Ishu come on please...'' Pleaded Abhimanyu

'Who the hell is this...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Hi I am Abhimanyu Raghav... Ishita's friend ...'' Said Abhi

'What the hell do you want?'' Said an angry Raman

'Nothing really... I just came down here because she asked me to be here... She and I are close like that you know...'' He said making Raman even the more angry

'Abhi shut the hell up and leave...'' Said Ishita before she looked at Raman and she could see they were done

'Raman... Please listen to me...'' She cried but he just looked away and turned to look at the pictures in his father's hand and the paper that was proof that she was pregnant

'Please... Baby please... You know this is wrong. Please turn and look at me... Raman, please...'' Cried Ishita with tears in her eyes

'I can't even... You disgust me and I do not want you anywhere near me. I am going to make you suffer Ishita I promise you. For all this pain that you have caused me I swear you will pay for it...'' Said Raman making Ishita fall on her knees as she pleaded with him

'You need to listen to me. Give me a chance to explain myself. This is not... I do not do this... I do not know who told you this... But it is not true...'' She cried

'Did you, or did you not have, an affair, with that man...?'' He asked his eyes blood shot red as he looked at her

'Do not lie to me again Ishita...'' He added

'I didn't... I mean yes...I mean... This is not what you think...'' She cried

'What the hell does that even mean? You are pregnant...'' He said

'But it is not his because ...'' She cried Raman interrupting

'Because what you were careful... What...'' He yelled

'Because I never slept with him...'' Said Ishita

'Somehow am sorry I don't trust you enough to believe you. You are just a bloody wh**e...'' He said causing Ishita to yell

'RAMAN...'' Before she slapped him hard

'Get out... I do not want to see you... Go...'' Yelled Raman screaming at her

'And take him a long with you while you're at it'' He added

Shagun stood there smiling as she watched all this fall apart and Raman who was breakings inside looks around and could see all these people staring at him but he didn't care as he was done. He grabbed her hand and dragged her outside as she screamed

'Raman... Raman, stop ... Your hurting me... Raman ...'' She cried but he just dragged he outside and to his car as Abhimanyu screamed

'Leave her alone... Leave her alone...'' And Mr. Bhalla was holding him back

People who were there were all shocked and some couldn't even believe why they were witnessing.

Raman turned to look back at what the man who was screaming Ishita's name and he saw the banner

'RAMANAND ISHITA'S THREE YEAR ANNIVESARY''

SCROLL DOWN CHAPTER FORTY

CHAPTER FORTY

At this point people had gathered in the parking lot and were looking at Ishita who was laying on the ground crying as she kept on pleading with Raman to listen but he was in no mood and he just turned and looked at her as she lay on the ground and walked to his car driving away. Mr. and Mrs. Iyer came out running as they picked their daughter from the ground as everyone kept on talking and pointing like Ishita was some sort of comedy show.

Mr. Iyer felt broken because this was his little girl and no matter what she didn't deserve this kind of behavior. Abhimanyu came out calling Ishita as he walked passed Mrs. Iyer straight to where Ishita was with her father

'Are you alright...'' He asked extending his hand only for Ishita to move away

'Leave me alone...'' She screamed

'Ishita... You know I never meant for any of this to happen but I can't help how I feel. These feelings that I have ...'' He said but she interrupted

'Take those feelings and shove them for all I care, I don't even want to see you...'' She screamed but Abhimanyu tried to come closer only for Romi and Shlok to come forward as they said

'Don't you have ears...'' Said Romi

'She said she doesn't want to be disturbed... So back off'' Said Shlok

Abhimanyu tried to force his way through and go to Ishita but Mihir stood in his way saying

'Don't even think about it...'' Said Mihir and Abhimanyu slowly backed off and walked away

Shagun sat back and watched this unfolding with a grin on her face seeing how all this sweetly falling into place. Mrs. Iyer took her daughter and put her in a car driving to the Bhalla place as there was a lot to solve and also a lot of explaining to do. Mihir and Romi sat in the back with Ishita while Mr. and Mrs. Iyer sat in the front. Shlok couldn't come given this was a family matter and the Bhalla wouldn't have appreciated it so they stayed back to take care of everything with the press and the guests that were remaining

'Ishu what did you do'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'I swear Mom this is Raman's baby. Yes, I admit I haven't been a very good wife by any means but I didn't do this. I don't understand why anyone would say something like this...'' Said Ishita

'He seems convinced that this baby is his...'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'I don't know why he thinks that. He and I had a relationship as friends and that is it. That closest we have ever come to being close was when we were holding hands and that was it and maybe that time kissed me in the lounge but that was the last day I saw him. I haven't spoken to him or even seen him since them ...'' Said Ishita

'What the hell are you doing kissing another man knowing you are married...'' Said her very furious dad

'I didn't kiss him, he kissed me...'' Said Ishita who was in tears

'Even then, what are you doing hanging out with a guy like that knowing you are married. I raised you better than that Ishu, I expected better from you...'' Said Mr. Iyer but Ishita just broke down even the more as she said

'I know Mom... I am so sorry...'' Said Ishita breaking down some more as she held onto Romi

The Iyers got to the Bhallas soon after the Bhallas got there and they could tell it was going to be a very long night. Shagun was just walking in and Mrs. Iyer figured with the way Mr. Bhalla was talking with so much conviction, Shagun knew something they all clearly didn't. She grabbed her hand and pulled her back asking

'What the hell are you doing Shagun'' Mrs. Iyer asked

'I didn't do anything. I just did what I was told to do. Ishita is the one you should be asking not me'' Said Shagun

'You're the one with the evidence isn't it. I think they deserve to know the truth Shagun and you of all people shouldn't be holding out on them...'' Said Romi

'Why would you do something like that Shagun... Why would you...'' Said Ishita

'Look you're the one who was cheating not me. That guy didn't just assume a relationship. There is no smoke without fire and the sooner you start telling everyone the truth the better. You cheated... Try and make a mends instead of trying to be holier than thou... You have a baby to think about...'' Said Shagun before she walked in leaving them there stunned as hell

They all walked in only to be stopped at the door by Mr. Bhalla as he barked

'Stop right there... She is not welcome here...''

'Vishu please this won't solve anything...'' Said Santosh before she turned and said to them

'Come in...''

Raman watched as Ishita whose eyes were a bit swollen and red nose and checks because of all the crying walked up to him and knelt down where he was as she said

'Raman... You know me... I would never do something like this to you. I need for you to trust me'' she cried

'Ishita please... just leave...'' He said as he looked way too disgusted to look at her

'Can we at least try and reason this like adults. I understand whatever she has been doing was not okay but let us not forget they are married and it still won't change the fact that she is pregnant...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'That baby is not my son's. She was busy working late and going out and no one said thing because they all thought it was her way to grieving. Now see what she has done. I do not even understand why all this is such a surprise...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Meaning what... what are you trying to say Mr. Bhalla...'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'Well normally when a married woman begins having late nights and secret phone calls you know something is off. My son has been there for her in every way and this is how she he has chosen to replay him...'' Said Mr. Bhalla pissed

'Oh please... Do not talk like Raman has been the husband of the century. He is not faultless but still I don't think it will help anyone in blaming him. Let us just try and find a solution to this...'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'Raman... Can you at least say something bro... You seriously cannot begin to think that this is right. She can't do this... She loves you way too much...'' Said Romi

'And yet she has been sleeping with another man...'' Said Shagun

'No one asked for you opinion...'' Said Romi

'And no outsider will insult my guest...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Listen... It is clearly written here that she is pregnant. Which other explanation do you want'' Said Shagun

'Oh does it also say that the baby is Abhimanyu's...'' Said Mihir

'She and Raman have not been on terms for months now and she spends the nights in the guest room across the hall. I know this because I always see her sneaking back in her room early in the morning such that no one sees her...'' Said Shagun

Everyone looked at her a bit surprised except Mr. Bhalla who had clearly learnt about this earlier.

'Okay hold on... How do you know what she does and doesn't do with her husband? Are you always there to see what they do or don't. ' Said Simmi who also suddenly began having a disliking for Shagun because whatever she was doing was not helping

'Besides, what makes you think babies are only made at night...'' Said Mihir jokingly but no one was in the mood to laugh

'Raman, look at me... Raman ...'' Begged Ishita and Raman hesitantly turned to look at her as tears began feeling his eyes

'You really think this is another man's child... You really think I could do that to you. Is that how little you think of me...'' Said Ishita her voice breaking but he just kept quiet and walked upstairs but she wouldn't let it go and followed him

'Raman... Raman... Please listen...'' Said Ishita as she ran after him

'That girl... I knew she was just bad for my son. I knew she was good for nothing. Such a bloody ...'' Said Mr. Bhalla but Mr. Iyer interrupted him

'Careful what you say, that is my daughter you are talking about...''

'So what... Doesn't change who she is... I mean seriously... How the hell does she even leave with herself knowing what she did and yet still lying about it'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Papa why are you so convinced that she did something wrong...'' Said Simmi

'Where do I begin, the parties, the hotel rooms booked, the late nights out, the insubordination, the inherent disregard for anyone else but herself. Look at these photos and tell me what you would think...'' Said Mr. Bhalla as he handed them the photos much to the Iyers surprise

'Papa, please... There is a lot you can do with today's technology. Did it occur to you that maybe those were altered to look like that...'' Said Mihir

'Why would I do that... because I am assuming that comment is directed at me'' Said Shagun

'Well if the hat fits... I didn't say it was you but if you feel guilty then maybe they might look into that'' Said Mihir

'I have absolutely nothing to hide. I needed money and I was hired to do a job. I care about Raman and this family and I felt so bad that she was treating them like this. It wasn't fair. Some people don't know how to treasure what they have that's not my fault'' Said Shagun

'Oh really... You are giving a lecture on appreciation and gratitude... ' Said Romi a bit amused

'Listen I don't care what everyone here is on about. All I know is my son has been wronged so badly in a way that he didn't deserve...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

Before Mrs. Iyer could say anything, the heard Raman screaming at Ishita upstairs

'I just want you to leave me the hell alone. Can you do that...'' He yelled

'No because I know if I do we shall not settle this. You have to give me a benefit of a doubt. I have earned that given what I have given up for you Raman...'' She cried

'What the hell does that mean'' He said

'I left my career for you; I left my job for you. I have had to give up a lot of things because I love you and all I am asking is that you at least given me a benefit of a doubt and hear my side of things.'' She said

'Oh really... So because you did all that, this was your way of paying me back. I don't get you. And of all people you choose him, really... Him... Ishu... Are you serious...'' Raman yelled

'Nothing happened... I don't understand how you want me to say it in order for you to believe me...'' Said Ishita

'He freaking kissed you Ishita right in front of me... No man just kisses a girl out of the blue. There has to be some sort of encouragement for him to do so...'' Said Raman who wasn't believing her story

'I don't know why he kissed me...'' She screamed before she saw him grab a bag and begin throwing in clothes

'What are you doing? Raman... No... You ae not leaving me...'' Said Ishita

'Get out of my way...'' He yelled but she refused

'Get the hell out of my way or Ishita I swear...'' He barked startling her but she wouldn't barge

'Ishita I swear get the hell out of my way...'' Raman barked

'No... Raman we need to talk...'' She cried

'Oh now you want to talk... I begged you to do that when I got back but he flatly turned me down. I begged you repeatedly to let me in but you refused. I felt guilty and do hurt because I thought she is hurting so much because of what happened t us, to our baby but no... You were busy running around town with some other guy and I like an idiots just stayed here, let you do what you wanted while the guilt ate me up...'' He said his voice breaking as he turned and began throwing some more clothes in the back

'Raman, please...'' She cried

'Now you are here because you have been screwing another man right under my nose and me like an idiot I imagined no... this is not her fault she is grieving yet all the while... I am such an idiot I feel so humiliated...'' He said as tears filled his eyes

'Raman please you need to listen to me. You know how much I love you I would never...'' She cried

'What did you wanted Ishu... I gave you everything... I thought I was enough for you and I worked hard to give you everything you wanted. What is it that he gave you that I couldn't? I thought no... no matter how heard it ever got you and I, we were supposed to be stronger than that because our love and respect for each other was stronger than that. Now here we are... and you are carrying another man's child'' Said Raman

'You need to stop saying that. I never slept with Abhi and this is your child. Why is it easy to believe Shagun and you father but not me? Why do I always have to compete with everyone else for you love and your trust or even attention...'' Ishita asked crying

'Don' turn this around on m, you did this to us. You are the reason we are here... You... Arrggg I am so...'' Said Raman before he threw down the bag and began walking out of his room only for Ishita to grab his hand as she pleaded

'Raman, listen please...'' She cried but every time Raman remembered how Abhimanyu walked into that hotel lounge and arrogantly talked like that just made him more upset so when Ishita grabbed his hand, he lost his temper and pushed her causing Ishita to fall back and hurt herself

'Arhhh...'' She screamed but he just turned for a second and looked at her before he walked downstairs

Santosh could hear all that and could tell that it was quickly escalading and getting out of hand and she needed to do something to fix it. She got in their just before Raman pushed Ishita

'Raman... What are you doing...'' She said but Raman couldn't careless

'Ishita are you okay...'' She asked but Ishita was just crying

'Please make him understand...'' She cried

'I don' think he can listen right now... He is hurt and feels betrayed...'' Said Santosh

'I didn't do this...'' Said Ishita falling in Santosh's arms

Raman walked downstairs and could see the Iyers were still there but he wasn't in a mood to talk to anyone. He just walked down and grabbed his jacket and car keys and left... Leaving them there

************************************************************

Raman should have probably waked back home when he cooled down because he really needed to talk to his wife and also figure out a way they came to the bottom of the problem but his ego was too bruised and he felt so betrayed that he ended up staying away from that house for 14 days. He didn't talk to anyone even his father and let himself fall to his vices of alcohol and also let his imagination get wild.

He began second guessing everything that ever happened when he left for Goa and how she must have been lying to him most of the time. He should have chosen someone else to try and get to the bottom of things but he chose the demon herself, Shagun and she took full advantage.

Ishita would call and try and get in touch with him but he would ignore her. He told himself he needed time to think so he needed to stay away from her but in all honesty, he just wanted her to hurt as much as he was.

When he finally managed to get back to the Bhalla mansion, he had pretty much made up his mind. This in his own mind was the only way this was going to be solved. He told his father who made sure everyone was there, the Iyer family, the Bhallas, a doctor, Raman's lawyer, Ishita and also Shagun and as later they would understand someone who wasn't meant to be there... Abhimanyu

Shagun and Raman got back to the Bhalla mansion as Ishita waited for him in the living room wondering what the hell was going on. He walked in with Shagun and Abhimanyu much to everyone's surprise

'What the hell are you doing here?'' Ishita asked

'I called him here...'' Said Raman in a very calm demeanor

CHAPTER FORTY ONE

Shagun and Raman got back to the Bhalla mansion as Ishita waited for him in the living room wondering what the hell was going on. He walked in with Shagun and Abhimanyu much to everyone's surprise

'What the hell are you doing here?'' Ishita asked

'I called him here...'' Said Raman in a very calm demeanor

'Why...'' Asked Mr. Iyer

'All in good time...'' Said Raman as he turned and looked at his in laws and parents saying

'I talked to a gynecologist and advised that if I needed to know whose child this was, I needed at least wait until she was like 6 months pregnant or something... ' He said

'What...'' Said a surprised Ishita

'See when she told me this; I remembered I am not even sure how far long Ishita is... So I asked her to come here and give us some sort of inkling... You can do that right'' Said Raman as he looked at the doctor

'Raman what do you think you're doing...'' Said Mrs. Iyer

'See unlike your daughter, I don't do things in the dark and I wanted to save myself from explain to each and every one of you so I called you all here...'' He said looking straight at Mrs. Iyer not regarding that he was taking about their daughter

'Now... Doctor, please... I asked Shagun to give you a room such that you can set everything up there...'' He said

'No... I am not doing this...'' Said Ishita

'Well if you have nothing to hide, why are you saying no...'' Said Raman

'Right... If you're so innocent then this won't be hard isn't it'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'This is so disrespectful...'' Said Simmi who was feeling bad

'She brought this on herself...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

Ishita looked at Raman and felt like her world was falling apart. This is how low it had gotten. She knew that he knew he didn't have to call this so called meeting for him to know that. All he had to do was ask her and if he didn't believe her, all he had to do was take her to the hospital. The fact that her parents were here meant he just wanted to insult her and embarrass her and she knew it. But she also understood maybe when he found out how far long she was, he would understand and try and see reason.

She turned and walked upstairs with the doctor as tears streamed down her face much to Shagun's amusement which she tried to hide but her face wouldn't let her as a smile crept on it.

'What you are doing is not the way to go about things Raman. You just want to insult my daughter and it is not fair...'' Said Mrs. Iyer whose heart was breaking when she saw her daughter fall apart

'Oh really... Please spare us... If you had managed to maybe teach your daughter some''

'Dad... That is not helping just stop...'' Said Raman who knew his father just wanted to insult them

'If I may ask what are you even doing here? Haven't caused enough harm...'' Said Romi as he looked at Abhimanyu

'Listen I just came here because I care about her and I know she needs me. I will not desert her like he is...'' Said Abhimanyu as he looked at Raman

'Don't talk about my wife like that to my face...'' Said Raman

'Whatever you have never really cared about her anyway? She always came second no matter how hard she tried. As soon as she married you she stopped being important for you. Besides I want to make sure nothing happens to my child'' He finally managed to say

'What...'' Said Romi

'What nonsense... You and I both know Ishita never had that kind of relationship with you. I am wondering why you are hell bent on destroying her marriage. This is not the Abhi I worked with, something doesn't seem right'' Said Shlok who was pissed more than irritated

'Of course you would say that... She is your friend... You have to protect her'' Said Shagun

'I am telling you something is not right I can feel it'' Said Shlok

'Whatever I don't care what you are feeling or what you are not all I know is that there is a man who claims my wife is carrying his child and I am not certain my wife has been faithful so I need to get to the bottom of this'' Said Raman as he sat down

'And whatever you even doing here this, was for only family...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'He is family Mr. Bhalla and I can say the same for Shagun here...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Mihir... Are you going to just stand there ... Tell them the truth...'' Said Shlok

'Don't talk to my son like that... Stop threatening him... He already told us that they were having an affair'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Now it makes more sense... I wasn't, understanding why Bhai was so hell bent on the fact that Ishita did sleep with this idiot. It was you who convinced him isn't it'' Said Simmi but Mihir just kept quiet and it is then that Romi knew something wasn't adding up

They spent time together all the time. There was no was Mihir would have even thought Ishita was having that kind of affair. Did she and Abhi flirt a lot, yeah all the times but never did either of them cross the line and the Abhimanyu they were working with wasn't this man standing in that living room. Something was off, something wasn't adding up

The doctor came back down telling Raman that Ishita was around two months pregnant and that she also needed to go to the hospital as whatever was happening was taking a toll on her health which could affect the baby as well.

'Okay fine... You will take my DNA as well as his... At six months... I want a paternity test taken...'' Said Raman

'You do realize once you do this, there is no coming back...'' Said Simmi

'I want that DNA test done... That is final... ' Said Raman

'So what happens with Ishita until then...'' Said Romi

'I don't know... She can do whatever she wants. No one has ever stopped her from doing that'' Said Raman

'Are you serious... ' Said Mr. Iyer

Santosh looked at her son and knew it was going to take a lot for him to understand and see reason and as much as she wanted to explain to him to have another way to go about this, it was hard to ignore the fact that Ishita might be carrying another man's child. It was going to be hard for anyone to take much less a very egotistic and very unforgiving Raman who was greatly influenced by his father who didn't like Ishita.

Santosh went upstairs to do the only thing she knew in that moment to be right. The best thing for these two was to try and spend some time apart. This was not helping and maybe if they tried and spent some time apart, it would pan out.

Also there was on little factor, right now, her son was hurting and Ishita staying in that house was only going to make things worse. She walked into the bedroom where she found Ishita in tears and she really did feel bad but the mother in her had to take her son's side... which was the mistake because none of them were willing to believe the simple truth ...

'Ishita...'' She called out causing Ishita to turn and look at her

'I know this is a very hard time for you but that Raman sitting out there won't barge...'' She added

'So what do you want me to do? I will do anything just please tell me...'' Said Ishita between her sobs

'Why did you do it Ishu... Why did you have an affair...'' Said Santosh

'I swear I didn't have an affair with anyone. He was just a friend that I took a liking too. We flirted a little but that was it, it never got far... I swear...'' Ishita said

'If it is so why is he here telling a different story... You can understand why he thinks you are lying'' Said Santosh

'Look I don't know why he is saying all this... I never slept with anyone. I swear I love Raman and I would never do that to him, I would never hurt him...'' Said Ishita

'And yet you did... You actually did hurt him really bad...'' Said Santosh as she looked at Ishita

'Oh my God you believe them as well don't you...'' Said Ishita but Santosh didn't answer and instead said

'You need to leave this house and go back your parents...''

'What... No... I am not leaving... No...'' Ishita cried but Santosh wasn't changing her stance and Ishita become desperate

'I wouldn't have brought you in the middle of my marital issues but I do not know how to go too. Help me...'' Said Ishita and Santosh just remained staring at her

'Please Ammi... I would never do such a thing and you know that. How can Raman... How can you people think I would ever do something like that? This pregnancy is Raman's. I have never cheated...'' Said Ishita as tears streamed down her face

'I am inclined to believe my son. You have really hurt him Ishita. I do not know how I am supposed to help you. We have to wait until a DNA test is done...'' Said Santosh

'So what happens to me till then... Tomorrow, you will throw me out of here and then what...'' Said Ishita

' Oh no... No one is talking about tomorrow... You're leaving tonight...'' Said Mr. Bhalla as he grabbed Ishita by the hand and dragged her out of the room down the stairs

'Please... Do not do this... Ammi please... Please I am begging you do not do this... Ammi... Talk to him please ...'' Screamed Ishita as she cried but Santosh just stayed there looking and did not say a word as Mr. Bhalla dragged her down stairs to a room full of people down

The Iyers picked their daughter from the ground as she screamed for Raman to help her but he just sat there and didn't say a thing.

'This is not right... Raman, are you seriously...'' Romi tried to talk but Raman just stood up, grabbed his phone and walked out

'Oh My God...'' Said Raman as he remembered how Ishita cried and how he ignored her

He walked away knowing she must have been hurting and she was being humiliated but he was too hurt to think straight and he didn't care.

He sat in that hotel lounge trying to figure out how he let it get this far and he couldn't explain it.

'I am... Oh God...'' He said as he sat back down tears streaming down his face until he heard someone call him

'Excuse me Sir... Is everything alright...'' Said the receptionist

'What... Yeah just ... Give me a minute...'' He said absented minded

'Sir... I am requesting you to please either try to get a table or something and not just sit in the lounge like this. You are creating a scene...'' Said the receptionist and that is when Raman looked up only to see people were staring at him like he was a crazy person

'How long have I been here...'' He suddenly asked

'For about 4 hour sir... Look is there anyone I can call...'' Said the receptionist

'No... No I am... I am fine...'' He said a bit dazed

'Sir like I said you can't just sit here like this...'' Sad the receptionist and that is when he heard a familiar voice

'He is with me... Sorry for the inconvenience but he is with me...'' Said Mihir as he hurried inside

Raman turned and he could see his brother and sister walk up to where he was sitting and Mihir walked up to the receptionist and said something while Simmi grabbed his hand and helped him up taking him to the elevator

'What... Where are you taking me ...'' He said

'Just keep quiet...'' Said Simmi as she pushed the button that took them to the last floor which was private

'Should we be going there...'' He asked but Simmi just looked at him as she ignored him

When they got there... Simmi got into one of the presidential suites with a key card she had and walked straight to the mini fridge as she got him a bottle of water

'What is happening... How did you find me ...'' Said Raman

'Mihir tracked you down... There is a tracker on your phone...'' Said Simmi

'WHAT...'' Said a surprised Raman

'Why ... What... What the hell...'' He said

'Drink some water Raman and wait for Mihir to come up... You look horrible and looks like you really need to stay hydrated. By the way ... I also brought you medicine so you need to take that too...'' Said Simmi

'What ... How did you manage to get into the private wing of the hotel anyway... Simmi ...'' He called her name

'Ishita owns the hotel and she gave me her keys...'' Simmi answered as she walked to the next room and as Raman could hear she was talking to her husband

'Why... Why does she own this...'' He asked but Simmi ignored him and continued with her call

'Yeah we got him... He was in the lounge alright ... But he was in really bad shape...'' Said Simmi as she walked away leaving a very confused Raman behind

After about fifteen minutes, Mihir walked into the room and he didn't look happy at all and Raman could understand why

'Dude... What the hell is the matte with you... You can't just disappear like that...'' Said Mihir

'I didn't disappear... I just needed space... Plus I am not a kid... I can go away for some time if I want...'' Said Raman

'Tell that to your father who wanted to call the police... I had to lie you were at my place and you were resting...'' Said Mihir

'But I saw Simmi not so far ago... She should have told you that I was fine...'' He said

'Dude that was over 4 hours ago! Do you see what time it is ... Besides you were not okay when I saw you ... We almost ran you over...'' Said Simmi folding her hands across her chest as she looked at her brother

'How did you even find me... ' Said Raman

'Ishita tracked your phone and when she heard me lie to dad she sort of gave knew you were sort of not okay so she told me where you were...'' Said Mihir

'She is calling...'' Said Simmi

'Don't tell her about how you found me... Just ...'' Said Raman stammering

'She is going to want to know why you are here and I am going to lie because I am guessing you don't want her knowing the real reason...'' Said Simmi as she took Ishita's call

'Hey Ishu we got him... He was at the hotel hanging with some friends. I think they were college buddies or something... Plus he is really drunk right now...'' Said Simmi keeping quite as she attentively listen before she replied

'I know he is on heavy medication even I can't understand why he doesn't think for himself sometimes... He is an idiot I agree...'' Said Simmi as she listened again before she said

'Yeah... I will ask Mihir to get him back tomorrow when he is less sober...'' She said listening before she said

'Okay goodnight... I will tell him...'' Said Simmi before hanging up

'Is she mad...'' Raman asked

'Well yeah... Plus she said call your fianc, she seems to think Ishita kidnapped you'' Said Simmi

'Stop calling her that...'' He said getting angry and this didn't go unnoticed by both

'Okay you need to tell us what the hell is going on... Now ...'' Said Mihir as he sat down facing Raman

'Aren't you supposed to be away or something...'' He asked instead

'Well yeah but you take priority... So boss postponed it and by boss I mean you wife... or ex-wife...'' Said Mihir

'Raman what is going on...'' Said Simmi in a worried voice filled with concern

'Is this about what you told me at the house...'' Said Mihir and Raman hesitated before he finally gave in

'Yeah... I remember... I think I do... I am not so sure anymore...'' He said

'Sure about what... Remember what...'' Said Simmi

'He is getting his memory back...'' Said Mihir looking at Raman much to Simmi's surprise

'Okay... Now the plot thickens... How much do you remember...'' Said Simmi

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

'Sure about what... Remember what...'' Said Simmi

'He is getting his memory back...'' Said Mihir looking at Raman much to Simmi's surprise

'Okay... Now the plot thickens... How much do you remember...'' Said Simmi

'Everything... I think almost everything... And I am second guessing everything I know...'' Said Raman

'Oh... That explains why you look like shit...'' Said Simmi

'Simmi not helping...'' Said Mihir

'Sorry... How long have you been remembering or how much do you remember... ' Said Simmi

'Most things...'' Said Raman as he looked down embarrassed with himself

'Then what the hell is Shagun still doing in your house... Or better yet... Why haven't you offered an apology to the Iyers for almost killing their daughter...'' Said Simmi who was unsympathetic

'Killing... What... I never... Wait did I do something to Ishita...'' Said Raman absentminded but Simmi just looked at him

'Did I hurt her... Please tell me...'' He asked getting agitated

'No... Not intentionally... Just calm down'' Said Mihir

'Okay... Looks like you remember partial truths...Not that that is a problem... You always believed partial truths anyway'' Said Simmi as she turned and took a bottle of water from the fridge as well

'Simmi come on...'' Said Mihir who knew Simmi's anger for Raman had never really subsided and she was just trying to get over that because Ishita asked her to give him a chance but as Raman was going to find out, it was going to take a whole more than that

'Listen... I am not so sure what I did to you but I can tell I hurt you pretty bad and I am so sorry. I don't know if there is a way I can make it better then tell me and I will do it. This not knowing stuff... Where everyone is keeping secrets from me is killing me and I am desperate to try and figure out what the hell is happening in my own life. I feel like I am living some other person's life... Just please... I need your help...'' Said Raman his voice breaking

'Alright... What have you remembered so far...'' Said Simmi

'Simmi... We can't do this... You know...'' Said Mihir but Simmi interrupted

'Come on Mihir look at him. This is a bit depressing and I feel sorry for the guy. And besides regardless of our differences... He is still my brother and I feel bad for him. We shall tell him everything he wants to know about the past... But nothing about what Ishita intends to do now... Not that it will make a diffrence given even we do not know... Although if he has any sense in him, he will figure out why by the time we are done'' Said Simmi who just felt bad for Raman and Mihir reluctantly agreed

'Okay... So what do you remember so far...'' Said Simmi and Raman began telling him how the whole memory was got back, when and what he remembered so far... And as Simmi and Mihir listened, the realized that he was blocking out a few things or he genuinely didn't know what was going on and if he didn't, he was in for a hell of a surprise.

Back at the Ishita's place, she was sitting down at the couch in her living room as she sighed with relief after being told Raman was okay. She was worried sick even though she didn't want to show it. It pained her that she still felt that way about him. She knew he was slowly becoming destruction and it is something that didn't go unnoticed by Shlok

'Ishu... It is fine... You can let it out. It is just you and me here...'' Said Shlok causing Ishita to turn and look at Shlok before tears stared streaming down her face like a tap had gone off

Shlok put his arms around her and hugged her saying

'It is fine... He is okay... Mihir is there so he will be fine...''

'I don't get what the hell his problem is... Why can't he just freaking take care of himself like an adult... Who the hell has brain surgery then goes drinking...'' Said Ishita between her sobs

'Ishu... He had surgery over 6 months ago...'' Said Shlok slightly amused at her childishness

'Yeah so... I need piece of mind and if he is not okay I am not able to do what I want to accomplish. This is stupid... I shouldn't even be worrying like this... It is not my job... I am getting the hell out of their in 6 months I need to...'' Said Ishita as she began getting tear but Shlok was looking at her as a smile crept on his face

'What is funny...'' Ishita asked

'I am sorry... Nothing... Nothing is funny...'' Said Shlok as he hide his smile adding

'That Raman ... He can be irresponsible...'' He added but Ishita could see right through it

'You're making fun of me aren't you...'' She said causing Shlok to chuckle

'I am sorry but I find it hard to take you seriously... You care about the man and yet you like to pretend you don't... There is no crime in feeling the way you do. I am the only one here... No one else ...'' Said Shlok

'Okay I liked you better when you were not falling in love... Now you see it everywhere...'' Said Ishita as she sniffed taking back the tears

'Who said anything about love...'' Asked Shlok amused

'Whatever I am going to hold my babies... Go enjoy your date and tell Sarika I said hello...'' Said Ishita before she walked upstairs leaving Shlok as he prepared to get out as well

Meanwhile back at the hotel, Raman was telling his siblings how he began having the flashes to the memories and how he ended up at the Emerald hotel.

'I just want to know what the hell happened... How it all fell apart ...'' Said Raman

'Wait so no one knows that you have your memory back... Even Shagun ...'' Said Simmi

'I haven't told anyone...'' Said Raman

'I can't believe even as you sit back and remember, you still fail to see the little lies... ' Said Mihir

'Meaning what...'' Said Raman confused

'Okay what do you think happened after Ishita was taken to her parents place...'' Said Mihir

'She tried to get in touch with me but I ignored her. I never wanted to talk to her or see her. It was too painful...'' Said Raman

'Why were you so convinced that she really was carrying another man's child...'' Said Simmi

'Everyone told me she had been having an affair. Even Mihir and Shagun who spent most of their time at the rift with her told me she was indeed having an affair plus, Dad with all his so called evidence. And also that time I saw her in that lounge holding hands with him. Jealousy got the better of me...'' Said Raman embarrassed with himself

'So what changed...'' Asked Simmi

'Meaning...'' Said Raman

'Something had to change for Ishita to begin hating you the way she did. You two started going at each other like you were crazy teenagers...'' Said Simmi how knew what the answer was but wanted to see if her brother remembered

'I don't... I am not...'' Said Raman

'No... No... you know... Stop blocking it out...'' Said Simmi

Raman sat in his office drunk out of his mind as he remembered what had transpired between him and his wife and how far they had fallen. Their love had to mean so much more than that and yet he couldn't bring himself to see past the idea that she could be carrying another man's child. At the back of his mind something kept on telling him there was more to the story but every time he wanted to do something about it, Shagun happened

'Raman, listen to me... I don't think it is a good idea to go see Ishita at her house. I think you two need space from each other such that you can think about what you want...'' Said Shagun

'I need to talk to her... I can't keep on going like this. She is my wife... I need to talk to her... Give her a chance to explain'' Said Raman

'You already did that and she refused to tell you the truth...'' Said Shagun

'We never talked. I screamed and yelled a=while she cried and begged. That is not talking that is just a reaction to the moment. I need...'' He said but someone walked into his office

'What the hell do you want...'' Said Raman

'Why don't you leave her alone? She won't be happy with you and you know it. She loves me but for as long as you are here holding her back, she will not let go. She is afraid to admit her feelings because she worries about her reputation and what your family will do'' Said Abhimanyu making Raman pissed off

'Get out of my office...'' He barked

'I love her and she loves me and you know it. She hasn't been in love with you for a very long time so stop pretending like you even care... Just grant her that divorce and let her be happy with me...'' Said Abhimanyu

'He was so smug and the way he was talking about her, it was like he had known her for such a long time. It hurt filled me with jealousy and it hurt hearing him talk like that knowing she had betrayed me...'' Said Raman

'Wait he came to your office... Did dad know about this...'' Asked Simmi

'I think he didn't... He wouldn't have allowed him in. Public opinion is everything for him remember '' Said Mihir

'So what happened when he left...'' Said Simmi

'I called Ishita... Asked her to come to office then waited...'' He said

'Waited for what...'' Asked Mihir and Raman turned to look at him

Raman could see Ishita make her way up to his office and he got filled even the more for whatever reason. He watched as she came to his office and once he could see she was making it to his door he grabbed Shagun who was standing just beside him and kissed her. He did so long enough such that she saw him.

'What is going on...'' She asked her voice breaking

'Oh sorry... I was just, this is not what you think...'' He said in a mimicking voice

'Raman what is the meaning of this...'' She asked

'I don't care about her like that and she kissed me...'' He said clearly mimicking her and in a way making fun of her

Ishita was livid and it was evident. She had been trying to get Raman to at least listen to her but he wouldn't pay any attention and now this. She was done trying to convince him because she knew he had already made up his mind about her and she was done trying to convince him otherwise

'You are just doing this to hurt me aren't you...'' She said

'Ding... Ding... Ding... Looks like in that cheating brain of yours works for something ...'' He said as he sat down and looked straight at her

'You know that feeling, the one you have in the pit of your stomach that makes you want to throw up and yet you can't. Feels like a tumor is in your stomach and yet there is no cure what so ever... That feeling... I wanted you to taste that... That is how I have been feeling for the last couple of months and it suck so let that image stay in your head while you suffer till the results come back'' He added

'You know what Raman, I am done... Do whatever you want I am done trying to prove my innocence to you'' She said

'What ever leave my office and don't comeback. Also stop calling me... ' He added as he turned to Shagun and they continued talking like she wasn't even there

'Wow...'' Said Simmi

'Yeah... I didn't know that part of the story...'' Said a surprised Mihir

'Me too... She never told us that part...'' Said Simmi

'After that day, everything sort of fell apart in a way. She did keep away from me. She stopped calling, coming over to my office, messaging. Everything just stopped and it was she was taking my claim seriously. But then I would hear little things of how she was seen around town with some guy and it made me even the more jealous but I kept away.'' Said Raman as he sipped some water before he said

'The look on her face that day, I will never forget... And every time I remembered it made me sick to my stomach. I hated that I hurt her like that and yet I was too proud and egotistic to apologize...''

'Why didn't you just call her? Didn't you miss her? You two loved each other too much to just walk away ...'' Said Simmi

'I missed her... So much that it hurt and yet I couldn't call... It meant she won and I wouldn't all that...'' He answered

'This is stupid... It was a marriage not a competition...'' Said Simmi

'You think I don't know that... Do you know how many times I regret that day or the events of that year...I lost everything'' Said Raman tears filling his eyes

'Okay... tell me how you ended up cutting her off...'' Said Simmi

'That deal... The one I went to do in Goa months earlier... There was still a lot to be done and that designer wanted to make sure that all her clothes and the material we were offering was per the market and also unique. It was fine, we had finished making her designs and she was the only one who would have them given her collection was going to be for the nice market of the really rich ladies who had loads of money for shopping... ' Said Raman and at that point, Mihi started holding his breath, he knew Raman was going to find out the truth sooner or later and it rather be him than anyone else

'Everything was set and things were all in order and we were going to show her what we had designed, but some deigns begun popping up on line... Someone had stolen our files that included everything on that deal and Heidi wasn't happy at all... This person was selling them to whomever was willing to buy... I wanted to investigate but dad had other ideas and theories... That is how this whole Ishita wanted to destroy my deal theories began...'' Said Raman

'Did they now...'' Said Simmi looking at Mihir before she added

'I am guessing dad had evidence as well that it was Ishita who hacked and made this happen'' Said Simmi and Raman nodded

'I wonder who told him that...'' Said Simmi guilt tripping Mihir

'Mihir... He said he worked with Ishita and therefore more time that most he knew what she was up to. He said he saw her have a meeting with some guys and she was having those files with all the designs that were online. At that time I had no reason to doubt her that is when dad thought since we couldn't find her guilty, we would hit her where it hurt the most... We took Shlok in...'' Said Raman

'What the hell do you think you're doing...'' Said Romi as he walked into the Bhalla mansion with Ishita of so far behind

'Who the hell do you people think you are? Why is Shlok in Jai right now...'' Said Ishita causing Mr. Bhalla who was upstairs to come joining Raman, his mother and Shagun who were in the living room

'Raman your fight is with me... No my family... What is the need of putting my family into this...'' Said Ishita

'Shlok is not family come on Ishu... Besides if he is found guilty of anything he needs to pay. Hacking and distributing that data made us get a very huge loss... He needs to retrieve that or pay...'' Said Shagun but Ishita just ignored her

'Raman... It is me... You owe me that much to look me in the eye and tell me what the hell is going on with you. He has done nothing wrong and you know that. Why are you doing this...'' Said Ishita

'This is ridiculous... Shlok has nothing to do with your matrimonial issues so why are you putting him in the middle. If he wanted to hack anything then he would have done that without a trace and you wouldn't even have known what the hell hit you. Plus this kind of so called hacking if there was any in the first place was so unprofessional and so careless...'' Said Raman

'Then can you explain why we found files with our designs at his place...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'I could think of a whole lot of explanations forgetting the most obvious... It was planted their... Shlok hasn't stayed at his apartment in months. He stays at the Iyers with Ishita because they are working on something together...'' Said Romi but all the while Ishita was just looking at Raman not believing he wasn't saying anything

'And you want me to take your word for it...'' Said Mr. Bhalla

'Yes... Given you have brains you should use it more ... Come on...'' Said Romi

'You know Mr. Bhalla for s business guru like yourself, sometimes I wonder how you managed to get so successful given how easily you can be stayed. It is so evident you are being played and so sad that you can't see it because of your blind hate for me... You're such a fool you know...'' Said Ishita

'Do not insult...'' Said Raman but Ishita interrupted

'You're holier than thou father I know... I could careless... I just want my friend released...'' Said Ishita

'Okay fine... Prove to me that it wasn't him... ' Said Raman

'Get me the laptop or desktop on which this was stolen... I will tell you how they did Ishita and Raman reluctantly agreed

At that point Mihir knew he was about to get busted and so did Shagun. Ishita's computer skills had not been put into consideration when all this was being planned. Shagun knew she had to act fast. She slowly sneaked away while everyone watched Ishita sit down with Raman's laptop and typed away
