Hi friends😊. I'm back with the next part of my story. Please do read and comment😊.
Part 7
In the morning Raman was the first to wake up. He looked around and saw the decorations in the room and then saw Ishitha sleeping in the couch. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he hated her for not listening to him for whatever reason.
He got down from bed, took his towel and kept his office files on the stool but still Ishitha wasn't up which made him more and more angry. He went into the washroom banging the door loudly making a loud noise.
The noise immediately woke up Ishitha. She sat on the couch immediately and remembered last night's incidents which made her sob silently. after sometime she thought to freshen up so she looked around the room and found her suitcase in a corner. Her hand was paining a lot due to Raman's harsh touch yesterday night so she with great difficultly lifted the suitcase on a stool and opened it to select her attire for the day.
Just then Raman came out of the washroom and saw Ishitha's suitcase on the stool in which he kept his files. He got angry and with one move pulled the suitcase down on the floor with a huge sound. All her clothes was scattered all around the floor. She quietly turned the suitcase to the right side and started collecting her clothes to it when Mrs.Bhalla came there hearing the sound of the suitcase. She was surprised to see the clothes scattered everywhere.
"Ishitha who did this?" she asked glaring at Raman.
Raman was quiet that now he will have to get scolded but Ishitha answered "No aunty. When I kept the suitcase on the stool it fell accidentally. Don't worry i'll manage"
Mrs.Bhalla at once understood that she lied to her saving Raman but choosed to keep quiet.
"Ok you get ready and come down. You can take space in Raman's cupboard to keep your stuff" saying that she went downstairs.
Ishitha was going to arrange her clothes in Raman's cupboard but stopped her,
"Oh hello. I told you these things are mine only. This cupboard is also mine"
"So you mean I should keep my clothes in this suitcase my whole life?" asked Ishitha shocked.
"Exactly I don't care whatever you do. You can't use my stuff" said Raman rudely and he got ready and went.
Ishitha silently sobbed sad about her life. Later she quickly got ready in a beautiful sea blue and black saree with all her symbols of marraige looking extremely gorgeous.
Thoshi was so happy to see Ishitha. She put a black mark behind her ear to take evil eyes. She asked Ishitha to join the table but she like a good DIL started serving everyone when Thoshi noticed the red mark in Ishitha's hand.
"Ishitha how did you get this mark in your hand? It looks like a hand mark" asked Thoshi shockingly and suspiciously.
Ishitha couldn't utter a single word but glared at Raman who gave her a warning look not to tell the truth.
"No aunty when I removed the bangles yesterday this mark came. Nothing else. Don't worry"
Thoshi noticed the expressions of Ishra but again choosed to keep quiet.
"Ishitha I'm your mummy now. Not aunty. So don't call me aunty hereafter"
"Ok aunty...I mean mummy ji" said Ishitha happily that at least she would be happy with the other members of the house if not Raman.
The rest of the breakfast went well and Raman said that he needs to go to office. Ishitha also got ready for office and Thoshi asked the two to go together. Ishitha continuously denied but Thoshi didn't listen.
The journey to office in car was silent. Both entered the office and went to their own cabins. Ishitha was frustated with Raman but started her work to distract herself.
Raman was angry with both himself and Ishitha.
"Why she agreed for marraige. I will make her regret"
Raman called Sarika and asked her to call Ishitha to his cabin.
"Ishitha ma'am boss is calling you"
Ishitha got frustated to listen to this but chose to go to meet him as she had no other option.
"Ok Sarika I will go"
"Congratulations ma'am for your marraige"
"Thank you Sarika. I thought you would attend. But you didn't"
"I'm sorry ma'am my mother got sick. So I couldn't come"
"Oh. How is she now?"
"Now she's fine ma'am. Raman sir made arrangements for the operation. Everything is under control. Didn't sir tell you?"
"No. He must have forgotten with work" said Ishitha with a slight smile and left to meet Raman excusing Sarika. She knew he was a good man but he was being rude to her as she accepted for this marraige. But she was helpless too and he needed to understand that.
Ishitha went to meet Raman where as he was ready to torture her with over work.
"Yes Mr.Bhalla. What to you want?"
"Wow yesterday night I was Raman today I'm Mr.Bhalla again to this new Mrs.Bhalla"
"Mr.Bhalla I don't mix my professional life with my private life unlike others. This is my office where your my boss. So please tell me why you called me without wasting both of our precious time"
Raman was angry with the audacity of her to answer him back like that but answered "I want you to prepare a report"
"Report...about what?"
"About the last five years legal issues faced by the company and hand it over to me on Thursday"
"Thursday...?"
"Yes Thursday. You have 2 days to complete the work"
But it requires a lot of time and research. How can I do it in 2 days?"
"Not my problem. I'm the boss here and I want it done"
"Ok Mr.Bhalla"
Ishitha was so angry with Raman. He was being so rude and unreasonable. Ishitha now itself regretted her decision to marry him. She knew that's why he's torturing her. She went to her cabin and tears ran down her cheeks. She ran and locked the door and cried loudly cursing her fate. She was thinking what to do now to bare with Raman. She thought for a while and thought that she would not be weak. She started researching about the legal issues of the company of the past 5 years.
She somehow wanted to complete the report before Thursday and show him. She wanted to show Raman that she can do anything and that she cannot hurt her easily.
Soon as the clock struck 5 she got ready with her work to go home because now it's her responsibility to take care of the household activities too. She didn't wait for Raman but took a taxi and went home. She kept her files and stuff in her couch and went to freshen up.
She quickly freshen up and went to the kitchen to help her mummy ji to prepare the dinner. It was the 1st meal she prepared in the Bhalla house. As she loved to have north indian food she knew how to cook them well.
She made a lot of vegetarian dishes and Thoshi made a chicken dish. She also made halwa as a sweet. When Raman came home Ishitha, Thoshi, Simmi and Mr.Bhalla was having a nice chat happily in the living room. Soon as Thoshi saw Raman she asked him to freshen up and come soon for dinner.
Soon he changed and came and Ishitha served everyone. All enjoyed the dinner while Raman said "Maa...today your dinner was top class. better than any other day"
"Really puttar. Then thank your wife as she is the one who prepared all these dishes. Not me" said Thoshi happily while Raman cursed himself for his own madness.
"Oh that's why I was thinking why there was more salt in these dishes" said Raman trying to change his words while Simmi hit his arm playfully. Raman was annoyed with himself also so he slowly kept quiet.
"Really Ishitha puttar all these dishes and the halwa was so tasty today. Your a very good cook" and then Mr.Bhalla gave her negh and Simmi gifted her a beautiful necklace which made her really happy for the love they gave her even though Raman tortured her.
