CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHT

Mr. Iyer in all honesty expected some sort of senile comment from Raman given he was snapping at everyone since he walked in but all he saw was concern on Raman's face for Ishita

'Don't be silly... You have been looking forward to this the whole week'' Said Ishita hugging her children

'I am absolutely fine... ' She added

'Are you sure...'' Said Ruhi through her tears

'Pinky, swear...'' Said Ishita as tears began welling up again

'Okay... Then why do you seem so sad then...''Said Aditya

'Because I am just having a very bad day and you are leaving me for the weekend, that is why but I will be fine... Your grandma and grandpa will keep me company. Plus Shlok Papa is also coming so I will be okay. ' Said Ishita composing herself

'And she can come see you anytime she wants...'' Added Raman concerned as he looked at Ishita

'See...'' Said Ishita thinking Raman was just saying that

'I will take good care of her, I promise...''Said Abhimanyu convincing them

'Okay...''Said Ruhi hugging her mom one more time

'I love you mom...'' She added

'I love you too...''Said Ishita

'I love you so much...'' Said Aditya

'And I love you too...'' Said Ishita as she hugged him too

Aditya and Ruhi stepped back looking at their mother concerned before they turned grabbing their toys each before Abhimanyu coughed saying

'Hey, aren't you forgetting something...'' And Aditya and Ruhi turned to him

None of them was in the mood for any of these games anymore given the state of their mother and so instead of doing it as planned Aditya said

'Dad... Give mom a hug...''

'What...'' Said Raman a bit surprised

'Hold on that is not what I meant...''Said Abhimanyu back tracking

'I know...'' Said Ruhi

'But still mom, give dad a hug too...'' Ruhi added

'Am sure your father has waited...'' Ishita who could see Raman get uncomfortable thought to help but Aditya was in no mood and Ishita was about to learn her kids were as stubborn as she was

'No Hug, No leaving...'' Said Aditya sitting down causing Bala to smile given how cute and sad this was at the same time

'Adi...'' Raman began

'No... In this family once someone is not feeling good we make them feel better. Mom is feeling sad and I need you to hug her, like Aditya hugs me when I am feeling sad'' Said Ruhi

Raman who knew it was going to be a waste of time arguing just gave in. In all honesty he wanted to do just that because once he saw her walk downstairs looking like that his heart melted to his feet feeling so bad for saying whatever he had said to her upstairs. Whatever misconception he had about her being fine while these divorce proceedings went on was shattered and he could see she was as broken or even more broken than he was.

He walked to where she was and put his hands around her pulling her in as tight as he could much to her surprise. She put her hands around him and forgetting where they were she just pulled him in and let her tears out. Raman could feel her tear drops on his shoulder and he couldn't help but say

'I am sorry...''

She felt the hairs on her body stand up as she pulled him in even more resting her face on the nape on his neck that Raman could feel her breath on his skin as she cried.

Mr. Iyer who was just standing there watching all this had never understood how much these two loved each other until that moment. It was just a hug, which took longer than it should have but my God did it speak volumes.

He was beginning to see that this whole stupid game that he started might have been a very bad idea after all. These two didn't need to prove anything anymore. It had to take a special kind of relationship and a very special kind of love to survive what these two went through and still be so much in love with each other like they had just met. It was like everything else didn't matter and whatever the hell they had been fighting for didn't occur and they were falling in love all over again

'Ehhhmmm...'' Said Abhimanyu causing them to pull apart

Raman pulled out first looking at Ishita who was having tears in her eyes but she refused to look back at him knowing it would be hard to let him walk out and so she just kept her eyes firmly fixed on the ground.

'Shall we leave...'' Abhimanyu added

'Sure...'' Said Raman still looking at Ishita before he turned grabbing the kids' bags and walked out

'Bye mom...'' The kids said

'Bye...'' She said her voice breaking and Aditya and Ruhi followed their father

As soon as the door shut Ishita lifted her head looking at the door as tears streaming down like there was broke pipe somewhere on her face. She stood there for a minute or two and she could have sworn her father said something but she didn't hear it. She was just in a stance of her own and she didn't want anyone else there but her and her pain.

She turned and looked at her mother whom she could hear in an echo calling her but she just ignored her turning around as she walked to her room. Bala on the other hand was more irritated than anything and was about to give his piece of mind to Mr. Iyer

'It takes a special kind of parent to see that and still think playing with her emotions is okay...'' He said

'Excuse me...'' Said a taken back Mr. Iyer

'Someone needs to tell her what is going on because this is not okay. Let her have an opportunity to determine if she doesn't want this marriage. Give her your reservations and see how she handles this or better yet tell Raman your reservations and give him a chance to prove his worth. Blackmailing them while playing with their emotions is not...'' Bala began

'Bala we are doing this...'' Mr. Iyer began

'I do not care why you are doing it but it is not okay. Haven't they paid enough for their deeds? What happened to the father she adored, the one who would do anything for her? I mean look at her... 'He said pointing at the stairs where Ishita had passed

'In which planet is that okay...'' he added

'This is for her good...'' Said Mr. Iyer unconvincingly

'This is not for anyone's good. You did not see her upstairs. If this was heartbreaking to watch you should have seen her upstairs. She could barely talk between her sobs. This is killing her... It is like you all haven't learnt from your mistakes. A parent interfering in their case has NEVER turned out well... Why are you doing the same...'' Said an angry Bala and rightly so

'You can't talk to me like that...'' Said Mr. Iyer

'Whatever... All I am saying is the truth... ' Said Bala walking away before he turned back saying

'You know Mr. Bhalla always put Raman first. I mean, in his own twisted way, Raman's happiness came firsthand that is why Ishita married his son for 4 years because his hate for Ishita was so less compared to his love for Raman... You are just doing this intentionally at the expense of her pain and that of her children, your grandchildren, that makes you the worst parent...'' And shaking his head as he grabbed his keys and walked out

Mrs. Iyer slumped into the chair and began to cry knowing Bala was bang on and they themselves were destroying their daughter's life. That was heart breaking for any mother to watch. Ishita had been through hell, she had survived the ends of hell and she got back stronger than before.

The Ishita that walked downstairs, the Ishita they saw was a shadow of the daughter they knew. It was like everything she went through Raman's love had kept her sane and strong even knowing she couldn't have it but there was always a hope. His being in that house picking up the kids may have just sent a message home that he was really gone and that brought her to her knees.

Ishita never cried for anything, not like that and seeing her like that scared the living hell out of Mrs. Iyer.

'Fix this... Fix this Iyer...'' She said

'I will...'' Said Mr. Iyer as he hugged his wife who was in tears

They stayed in the living room for a while before they walked upstairs to go check on Ishita. Mrs. Iyer was a bit concerned about her daughter's demeanor and wanted to ensure that she was okay. She and her husband walked to Ishita's room and they could see she was laying on the bed her back facing the door but they could hear her sobs

'Ishu...'' Her mother called her but she just kept quiet

'Ishu honey, are you alright...'' Said Mr. Iyer but all this just fell on deaf ears

Mrs. Iyer walked to the other side of the room such that she could look at her daughter in the face and she saw Ishita was just laying there, tears streaming down her face as she let out silent sobs

Ishu...'' Mrs. Iyer called her again concerned but Ishita didn't say a word

It was like her body was in that room but her mind had drifted and had gone someplace else. Mr. Iyer ran his hand through her hair almost as if comforting her but she didn't move. She instead held the pillow tight with one hand while she rested her head on the palm of her other hand

'Ma...'' In came Mihika who had just walked in

'Is everything alright, Abhimanyu asked me to get back...''She added but her teary eyed mother just looked at her

'Ishu... Oh My God Ishu, are you alright...'' Sad Mihika who heard her sob and the concern on her parents' faces sort of scared her a bit

When Ishita heard Mihika's voice she lifted her head looking at her sister before she said

'Mihika...'' Crying some more and Mihika ran to her putting her hands around her

Ishita rested her head on her sister's shoulder and just cried. Mihika knew more than anyone else that she needed that cry and she also knew that her parents being in that room in that moment wasn't helping

'Both of you need to get out...'' Said Mihika

'I just want...'' Mrs. Iyer began

'Ma... Out now'' Said Mihika as he held Ishita's head while rubbing her back

'We just wanted to help...''Said a concerned Mr. Iyer

'You have done enough of that for one day...'' Said Mihika before she angrily turned to her sister

'It is okay... Ishu it is alright...''She added comforting Ishita

The Iyers always took pride in knowing these sisters always had each other's backs especially when it mattered but they had also learnt enough to know that once one of them was pissed, the other didn't need a reason to be. They spoke the same language and they were all head strong.

Mihika back talking at her parents was her own way of telling them how Ishita felt and the Iyers knew that if this didn't end soon, those kids were going to have a load of resentment for them, something they didn't want.

As Mr. Iyer walked out, he prayed that whatever they had planned would be done over that weekend while Raman had the kids. It was the only way this was working.

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT CHAPTER

CHAPTER ONE HUNDERED NINE

Abhimanyu drove Raman and the kids to his house and they wouldn't stop talking. They told their father about everything they could think of even the most ridiculous stories and as Abhimanyu could see, Raman was clearly enjoying it. It was a welcome light heartedness that was needed after that episode at the Iyers.

They got to the Bhallas where Raman took them to their room showing them everything he had gotten.

'Hold on what are we celebrating...'' Said Ruhi who was still in awe

'Nothing... Why...'' Asked Raman

'All this and we are not celebrating. Is it my birthday and I forgot again'' Said Aditya

'No... These are just gifts that I got you all because I love you very much'' Said Raman

'Thank you Dad...'' Said Aditya as he run around the room grabbing everything and anything his tiny hands could get a hold of

Raman excused himself going back to the living room as he wanted to see off Abhimanyu. Now the plan was simple, Abhimanyu was supposed to raise even more suspicion where Bala and Ishita were concerned but not too much that he lost faith. But as Abhimanyu was about to find out this was going to be easier said than that

'Thank you so much...'' Said Raman as he got back

'Anytime, anything that is Ishita's is my responsibility'' Said Abhimanyu

'Do not worry, the kids will be fine ' Said Raman

'I meant you as well...'' Said Abhimanyu but Raman just scoffed saying

'I doubt that...''

' So with Bala earlier I assume you heard...'' Said Abhimanyu as he sat down with Raman

'About his so called marriage plans... Yeah he told me'' Said Raman

'He told you himself...'' Said Abhimanyu pretending to be surprised

'So you knew as well... Why am I always the last to find out things'' He said

'In all fairness even Ishita doesn't know yet...'' Said Abhimanyu

'Really...'' Said Raman

'Yeah and if am being honest, she is going to turn him down'' Said Abhimanyu

'But her father...'' Said Raman

'Doesn't matter... I think she has only loved twice in her life and was in love with only one of us. I doubt she will go through that again, if you two call it quits...'' Said Abhimanyu

'In love with one of us huh, am assuming that would beyou ...'' Said Raman

'Oh please you know the answer to that you do not need me to tell you. Besides I am not the one she married'' Said Abhimanyu looking at Raman

Raman looked at Abhimanyu almost as if he was reading something from his face. Something didn't seem right and Raman was slowly beginning to notice that. The Ishita he saw, that broken almost unrecognizable woman he left behind was not the Ishita he knew. She was not the self-confident Ishita he knew and if she wanted this divorce as much as she claimed, she would have been fighting tooth and nail for it. Then there was this little matter. Abhimanyu in his house talking Ishita and Bala up was even weirder. Abhimanyu and Raman's relationship was not a close on and everything he always did Ishita's interests were at the forefront of everything.

Abhimanyu indirectly convincing Raman not to give up on Ishita was a tad strange.Something was off.

'Raman...'' Abhimanyu called him

'Are you hiding something from me...'' Raman said abruptly

'Excuse me...'' Said Abhimanyu

'No... No... I mean I know you owe me nothing let alone some sense of loyalty because you and I are not very fond of each other...'' Raman said

'Raman...'' Said Abhimanyu

'No... It is fine and it is no secret. But I would like to think that you and I care about her very much. And even with everything that you tow went through I would want to still think she is important to you'' Said Raman

'Get to the point...'' Said Abhimanyu who wasn't sure where this conversation was going

'What the hell is going on? I mean I know something doesn't add up and the Ishita I saw a few hours ago is definitely not what I expected...'' Said Raman

'What did you expect her to be like? You two are getting a divorce...'' Said Abhimanyu

'Don't do that... I hate it when people try to patronize me. Don't do that... All I am doing to asking a fair and simple question because I know in my heart of hearts something is not adding up...'' Said Raman

'How so...'' Said Abhimanyu pretending

'She was happy with me Abhi... I could have sworn she was looking to us having a second chance together and now suddenly she is telling me she wants a divorce for no apparent reason. The reasons she gives do not make sense because if she was still angry with me about the past she would have never comeback... I know something is off'' Said Raman

Abhimanyu looked at him for a second or two before he got up from where he was seated grabbing the car keys are he said

'That instinct... That hunch... Go with it...I can't tell you because I promised her I won't but it is all you got at this point...''

'Meaning...'' Said Raman

'Meaning I have a date and I need to go. I hate to keep Vidya waiting'' Said Abhimanyu

'Wait...'' Said Raman

'Bye Raman...'' Said Abhimanyu turning on his way out

'Talk to your lawyer... I mean seriously talk to Kushan...'' He added then walked out the door

Raman looked at Abhimanyu and as much as he had questions he knew him well enough to know that he wasn't getting any answers. He turned walking up stairs to go spend some time with his children

'So... How do you like the place...'' He said as he walked into their room

'It is amazing, thanks Dad...'' Said Aditya

'I only wish mom was here...'' Said Ruhi

'Yeah me too...'' Said Aditya

'Well, am sure she would have wanted to be here as well'' Said Raman

'You should forg...'' Ruhi began but Aditya stopped her

'Ruhi... No...'' Said Aditya

'What...'' Said Raman

'Uhhh nothing dad, Ruhi is just...'' Said Aditya

'Adi...'' Said Raman but Aditya just kept quiet not saying anything and Ruhi followed suit

'So you are not telling me what this is all about'' Said Raman

'Abhi Uncle said it was a secret...'' Said Ruhi

'What secret...'' Said Raman

'Well if we tell you, then it is really not a secret anymore'' Said Aditya

'Okay... Am I allowed to ask if it is a good secret or a bad secret'' Said Raman

'What is the difference'' Said Ruhi innocently

'Well a good secret is one where we know that you're doing it for the good of someone, a bad secret is the one we keep even knowing we are hurting someone. I usually opt for neither...'' Said Raman

'Why...'' Said Ruhi

'Because keeping things from the people you love is never a good thing. I learnt that the hard way'' Said Raman

'Are secrets bad'' Said Aditya

'When it comes to the people you love and care about then yes'' Said Raman

Ruhi and Aditya looked at each other conflicted as to whether they tell their father what they were up to with Abhimanyu or just keep it a secret for a while longer for because they genuinely wanted to help their mother.

'What is it...'' Asked Raman who could see they were worried about something

'If we tell you then you won't be angry with mom or us'' Said Aditya who was visibly shaken up

'Okay...'' Said Raman

'Promise...'' Said Ruhi

'I promise come on just tell me...'' Said Raman and Ruhi looked at her brother, hesitating as she said

'Well... we know mom did something wrong. And we know that you are mad at her...''

'What makes you say that...'' Raman tried to tell them

'Well if you were not mad at her, she would have been here with us but she is not...'' Said Aditya

'That is not...'' Raman said feeling bad given the look on his kids' faces

'We know she did something bad and we are sorry...'' Said Ruhi

'Yeah please forgive her... Am sure she didn't mean it...'' Said Aditya

Raman looked at his children and their innocent faces and his heart broke not believing Ishita had the capacity to stoop this low to involve them in this stupidity. How far was she willing to go?

'You know mom loves you very much. She just doesn't say it much...'' Said Ruhi

'Wha...'' Said Raman much to Raman's surprise

'Yeah she writes it down all the time... Wait let show you...'' Said Aditya getting off the bed as he Raman d grabbed his bag taking out three diaries

'Here hold this...'' He said giving Raman two of them as he opened the other

'Okay I am not supposed to have this but I like it when Mihika auntie reads it to us...'' He added

'What is that...'' Said Raman curious

'It is mom's book... She has two, one where we always write and this one...'' Said Ruhi

What is the difference...'' Said Raman

'Well this one has the story of when you two met and fell in love...'' Said Ruhi

'I love that story... And at the end of each page she writes I love you, Always Ishita... See...'' Said Aditya handing his dad the dairy

'Mihika auntie says it is very momantic...'' Said Ruhi

'Ro...'' Said Raman letting out a soft laugh as he added

'Romantic...''

'Yeah that one...'' Said Ruhi

Raman took the book in his hand opening it and on the first page it was beautifully written:

He perused through the first two pages not believing what he was reading. She was talking about the day they met, how she couldn't take her eyes off his lips and yet she had to act like she was angry. Giving it away that she liked what she saw was not a part of the mission and how she knew this would be a journey in her career and life that was not going to be easy. It was so surreal reading it; it was like a tiny window into her mind. It was like a part of her he fought so hard to know was written on these pages. For a woman who claimed hatred for them, this diary spoke of a different story. She was still in love with him...

He looked through that dairy remembering what he knew and what he had come to learn about her. She was the strongest person he had ever known which as always evident when it came to hard times but as history had taught them, she had a weakness and that was always her family. It was good how she cared for them but most of the time they were they were the reason she gave up on a lot of things.

The look in her eyes when she came down stairs spoke volumes and he was beginning to see, there was more to this divorce story than met the eye. She didn't seem like she wanted this divorce, not the way he was seeing it and if she was still going ahead with it, it has everything to do with her parents, most especially her father,.
