*10 years ago*

It was dark.. He was walking alone in the jungle. Although it was odd for a 14 year old boy to roam in the jungle at that odd hours but he was in pain, immense pain. It was only 13 days he lost his father. He was feeling lifeless. Nothing was left in his life worth living except his mom; the only thing that is stopping him to do something to himself was his mom's love. He was lost in his own thoughts when he heard a scream. He was scared at first but being a brave heart since young age he walked in the direction of the sound. He wanted to find somehow who was she who shouted. Something pulled him in that direction. The person might be in trouble.

He started moving in the direction. He was passing by a tree when he heard some continuous sobs. He looked for the sound and then found her sitting there hugging her knees and weeping continuously. He went near her when she stood up instantly with a stick in her hand . She had fear in her eyes which was clearly visible. He was lost in her angelic face and fearful yet beautiful eyes when he heard her sweet voice but in anger..

Ishita:- don't you come near me!! I have stick in my hand. I'll hit you blue and black.. Don't you dare move..

Raman saw a thin stick in her hands and laughed at her innocence. He inched towards her and she stepped back. He again stepped towards her and she again stepped back with an angry yet fearful glare.

Raman:- Look!!! I have no weapons' I am here to save you. Believe me!!!! Tell me why are you so scared? I am with you.

She yelled.

Ishita:- Nooo !!!!! stay away !!! you will also kill me as you all killed my parents for money. You'll kill me I don't believe you. You'll also betray me like my anna.. He killed amma appa just for the sake of money, he killed them.

She started crying bitterly. He was hurt. He was unable to see the pain and tears in her eyes. He wanted to soothe her, push her pain away from her.. An unknown desire was emerging in him. She was crying continuously. He went towards her and hugged her. She was in so much pain but his one touch was a miracle for her. She unknowingly hugged him back and cried her heart out. She felt so safe in his arms and on the other hand he who was in pain a moment back was feeling heaven in her arms.. Both were lost in each other when they heard some noise.

Man:-Ishita!!!!! where will you run from me???

He heard her name for the first time but it was not the time to think much. He was although too young but he did understand her words. Her life was in danger and for the time being he can't leave her like that.. So he started to run coz he was unable to fight back. He was holding her hand tight and she was running along confused. She saw the killers of her parents approaching them she held his hand more tightly realizing the trustworthiness in his eyes. They both were running. Ishita was panting. She started to slower down her speed but he was pulling her as fast as he could. When they were tired they hid behind a tree.. She looked at him who was looking here and there to ensure they were secure or not. She felt so odd to be with the stranger who was saving her when he has nothing to do with it but she felt safe with him even if she was not safe fully yet he was holding her tight when he felt a sudden jolt.

His head was bleeding. He was about to fall when he saw her in the hands of a man who was manhandling her and was about to raise his hand on her when he felt an unknown power in himself and he kicked him hard. The man instantly left her and the rod left from his hand. He suddenly picked up the rod and started hitting him continuously. She was watching all this with utter shock.. The man was shouting that he won't leave them but Raman kept on beating him till he stopped moving. When he was lying unconscious in front of them she came running and hugged him. He held her and ran from there. She was running with him until he stopped near a car from which 2 men with guns came out. She was so scared to see them that she clutched his hand tight and hid behind him.

Man:- Sir, what happened? We told you not to go alone. Tell us what happened??? Who is she???

Raman:- that's none of your business. We were attacked. I want him to be behind the bars asap' I'll tell the details. (to Ishita) don't worry Ishita they are my bodyguards.

In no more time Murthy(Ishita's cousin) was behind the bars. Ishita's statement was noted and he was sent for lifetime imprisonment '

Raman told his mom what she told him. Toshi Ji hugged her as she in her young age has faced a lot. She told her that she from now on is her daughter and will live with them forever. She is her responsibility. After the fearful incident Ishita was having high fever and was scared till death..

Raman who was reserved from nature and who was going through the same pain of losing his father could only understand her pain. He did a lot of things to soothe her pain and was indeed successful.

Day by day their bond grew deeper and deeper.. They both could not imagine their lives without each other. Although Raman was rude and full of attitude for others but he cannot deny even a single word of her and could cross any limit to see a smile on her face.

After completing their studies both started to look Bhalla Empire which was facing many losses due to Toshi Ji's illness and improper care for years.

They both were fresher and were about to hold a company which is in losses but their determination was sky touching. Within one year they with their will not only pay backed all the loans but also made Bhalla Industries as no. 1 organization in India. They both were happy. Raman was very rude to his employees but Ishita was always soft and caring. Their pair was amazing.

But one day changed their lives. Murthy who ran away from the jail was determined to take the revenge from him and he came to know his names through different police officials while talking about his case..

He noticed Raman's daily routine and found Ishita always with him and with his two bodyguards. The only time he found Raman alone was at morning for morning walk as Ishita at that time loved watering the plants and loved spending time with them and he wants to be alone at that time.

He made his plan and attacked Raman. He hit him with a car and left him almost lifeless on the road. Later Raman was admitted to the hospital and everybody was informed.

It was being 24 hours since he was in ICU and Ishita was continuously crying and praying to Murugan for his safety. She sat their holding his hand' he moved a bit and she yelled for the doctor.

Doctor gave them the news that although he has got his life back somehow but he has lost his vision. He has lost his eyes in the accident.

All were shocked. Ishita was super shocked but she saw him broken into pieces.

Raman:- I am sorry dad!!! Ma Ishita I am so sorry. I cant fulfill my responsibility. How would I take care of you and Ishita Ma.. How will I take care of dad's business, his treasure.. I am useless now.. I am useless..

She felt as if something sharp pierced her heart. His each word was hurting her like thousand pins.. She held herself strong and shouted.

Ishita:- how could you say he can never see. He will see everything. He will see the colors, he will see the beauty, he will see the sunrise, he will see the moonlight, he will see everything from my eyes. I'll never ever let him feel alone, he is going to see the world from my eyes. Ma' you don't worry!!! He is alright. There will never be such situation in which he would feel himself weak. Raman. I am with you' I'll never ever let this darkness effect you.. You deserve a bright life and I'll give you that, no matter what comes our way...

Raman:- Ishita!!! Stop it... That's impossible. Your Murugan has written darkness in my life and its my destiny..

Ishita:- Raman who gave you right to fight with the destiny alone... I am there with you always aur mai apni baat pe kaayam hu....

Raman:- but Ishita!!!!

Ishita:- chup bilkul chup... you trust me no???

Raman nodded..

Ishita:- Then hold my hand Raman. We will walk together... We will cross every hurdle of our life. Your life is not yours only. I am attached to you forever and I can't see our life getting hopeless and dark that too this soon...

Tears were flowing from everyone's eyes... She was determined to her words and within few days she proved herself right... She never let him feel his weakness.. The darkness in his life never ever overcame his colorful life...

It's been 3 years and both were doing well...

Ishita was constantly trying for Raman's treatment but had never let him know coz she didn't want him to feel his helplessness... Doctor told her to wait as Raman's muscles were still sensitive and were not ready for the surgery. So reluctantly waiting was the only option for her...

Toshi Ji was so happy to see them like this but she was getting worried about Ishita as one day she will have to leave them after her marriage and she was almost at her marriage age... She once thought for Raman and Ishita but she shrugged off the fact as she can't force her to be the wife of her blind son...

One day she directly asked her about her marriage plans to which Ishita replied...

Ishita:- Ma... meri zindagi Raman se shuru hokar Raman pe hi khatam hoti hai... mai kisi aur ke bare me soch bhi nahi sakti... (My life starts from Raman and ends on him, I can't think anyone besides him)

Toshi Ji:- but Ishita beta you know about Raman...

She held her hands in hers and looked into her eyes..

Ishita:- Ma... Raman is my life... and I can't leave him ever...

Raman who was listening to all this went to his room and started thinking about Ishita...

There was no doubt he loves her a lot and couldn't imagine his life without her but he can't push his love to marry a blind man...

Ishita came with some papers to be signed when she saw him lost. She asked him the reason and he without wasting a second told her.

Raman:- Ishita !!! I know you care for me a lot but I want you to settle in your life happily ASAP... For how long you'll keep running behind me??? Go and move ahead in your life...

Ishita was hurt listening to those words but she knew he was saying all that out of concern and for the sake of her happiness...

Ishita:- just tell me one thing Raman!!! If I would be at your place then would you have left me the mid way?

Raman was shocked at her question. That is it.. She was absolutely right.. He would have never ever left her in pain...

Ishita held his palm with one hand and caressed his cheek with other..

Ishita:- nahi na!!!! then why are you expecting this out of me???

Raman suddenly pulled her in a hug... A tight one... Ishita was melting in his arms.

She freed herself and looked at him. Both were feeling each other's heart beat. This was the first time they felt the need to accept their feelings and they need to confess it...

Raman:- Ishita!!! My Jhansi Ki Rani !!! You are my angel who walked in my life as a miracle and even occupied a permanent place in my heart... You are the one because of whom I am living a colorful life in spite of being physically blind... Your Murugan has sent you to take all the pains away from my life... I am addicted to you Ishita... I can't stay without you... I LOVE YOU... I love you a lot... Plz be with me always...

Ishita:- I love you too Raman!!! Since the night you saved me... Since the days you sang for me to smile... Since the evenings you spent with me... Since the mornings I was with you... I have loved you forever Raman then how can you even think of asking me to leave my Love...

They stood there in each other's embrace when she heard a call...

She was smiling realizing what happened a moment ago... They both confessed their feelings... Although both of them were aware of this connection and the value of each other on their lives ever since they met but sometimes it is necessary to give it words...

She picked up the phone watching him who was smiling... She was so happy... But her happiness spelled no bounds when she took the call and the doctor told her that Raman is ready for the surgery now...

She without telling him took him to the hospital for the treatment. Though he did realize something was cooking up in her mind but he let her do whatever she was upto...

Operation was successful. Raman could see now... He was flabbergasted at her efforts. He had lost all the hopes but had never ever thought that she could do such efforts just for his happiness. She came to meet him with a broad smile on her face... Raman was unable to believe he was watching his angel after whole 3 years... She came and hugged him...

Ishita:- how are you My Raavan Kumar???

Raman held her hand and pulled her closer...

Raman:- Someone has become more beautiful in these 3 years??? Kya baat hai...

Ishita:- Kisi ke pyar ka asar hai...

Raman:- accha !!!! Bas Thodi Moti ho gayi ho..

Ishita:- Oh God Doctor ko dubaara bulana padega.. Aaknhein defected lagayi hain unhone..

They both shared a laugh and there he saw her laughter..

He couldn't wait more and instantly took her lips into his... She was startled but later responded back... Melting into each other and showering their love. After all their pain was about to end. Both parted when they heard Toshi Ji coming...

Toshi Ji came and was super happy seeing her son... He without wasting further time asked her for their marriage... Toshi Ji agreed happily coz she was more blessed to have the girl as her bahu who came in the form of an angel and created her magic of love all over their home...

Few days later IshRa got married... It was their SR when he entered the room she saw him and he had blindfolded himself...

She was confused...

Ishita:- Raman ye sab kya hai????

He inched towards her hearing her voice and came closer and spoke

Raman:- Ishita!!! Mujhe duniya tumhari aankho se zyada khoobsoorat lagti hai... (World seems more beautiful to me from your eyes.)

Hearing those words from him she had tears of joy in her eyes, She caressed his face feeling blessed to have such a soulmate... She kissed his forehead and hugged him as they both made their way to a new and happy life...

So How was it? Same Monotonous ?? I felt it that way.. Please do share your views. Eagerly waiting for your responses.

Special love for my SC gang.. And MJ loves MT.

A very Happy New Year all..
