SOCH NA SAKE
Life surprises everyone with a lots of ups and downs. That's what happened in her life as well. She was always praised by people for her innocence, but people always used it against her and the worst part is she never understands how cruel this World can get. But none of this stops her from being a courteous, kindhearted person. When my daughter fell in Love with her, I didn't understand how and why, because she doesn't even asked me about her mother ever then, I never thought she even understands any such relation exists in this world. The magic happened, she found herself a mother in a woman who was called barren by the World. I was ashamed of myself, As I think about my behavior with my own daughter, how bad I treated her when she doesn't even know she was being ignored by her own father. Then, the angel in our life came, she changed me to a better person, better son, better brother , better parent to both my children. This lady not only changed me like her, but she also changed my family like her. When I think back to how my family was, It is astonishing that she changed everything in just two years of her presence.
Today, yet again the world has proven her that her innocence or kindheartedness isn't what the world needs. The world doesn't want her humanity to be showered, as they don't reciprocate it to her. She went out of her way to help a lady whom she didn't even knew a few weeks back, and now landed in a jail for being accused as murderer, when all she did was just trying to save that lady from her torturous husband. Right now I am very angry on her, for not letting me know any of this before hand, but I have to get her back in order to show my anger on her. In the jail when I meet her I just don't know how to face those eyes pleading me to get her out of it as it's unbearable for her, given how they treat her. She must have never in her life thought something like this would happen to her. But again that lady used my wife's innocence and tricked her into her husband's murder case which is actually planned by her boyfriend and her.
The most difficult part in these fifteen days was to answer my babies about their mother. Their eyes had always asked me same question 'When will our Mom be home dad'. The helplessness I feel seeing my wife and children is something I cannot take. I don't think any man can take that. I do know i have to be strong for them and fight for them, but, all my strength just washed away today, when my wife was given verdict of two and half year imprisonment. I didn't/ couldn't wait any longer in the court to see her being taken to that place again where she feels suffocated. I didn't had the strength to handle my children in the court when they would drag their mother away from them for a period of two and half year. I aimlessly drove to that one place I come when I can't handle myself. This place is known only to my wife. I know my family would take care of my children, but I know I failed them as a father as I myself failed to fight and win my wife back.
Everything is over. This is what I feel, Are they kidding me, by sating, I will be able to meet my wife only twice a month with hell lot of people surrounding us and at the distance of 10 meters with a fence barrier which will not even let me see her clearly leave alone listening to her sweet voice. I just don't know how she will manage in there. The only thing that i can hear her saying to me the last time I met her before the proceedings was "Get me out of this place, It's suffocating, I will die Raman... Please get me out of here...".
A new fear scares me, what if she is not able to pull these two and half years, what if she gives up, like I am doing now. This thought pushes me up to fight for her, this feeling of her giving up on me, upon us, jerks me up to get up and win the race. I get up with a jerk. I see around to realise that I was just dreaming. The court hearing is today at 9 am in the morning. I see the clock it reads 4 am, I know she must have been awake by now too, will be praying her murugan to get her out of that place. I do the only thing that I can think off, I don't know how it will work, given how bizarre is my idea. The only thing I believe will get my wife out of this is by making that lady speak up about her boyfriend. I am going to do something which is going to make me abhorred of myself. I am going to fight for my family at any cost, that's what I think when I call my brother to help me through this.
"Romi, will you be a part of this" I ask him after explaining him what exactly I am planning to do. "Bro Are you seriously going to do something like this with a kid?" My brother asks me exasperated. "Don't make me feel more bad than I am feeling right now please, I can't see my Children and Wife suffer like this" , "Then What about my kid?", "I assure you I won't let him have a scratch, he is my son too." With that i breakdown, This was my only hope, I see my brother pleadingly helplessly crying onto his shoulders more. He hugs me back reassuring that nothing will happen to his beloved Sister in law and that he will help me through this. Our mission starts, I am somehow very confident that my mission will not fail, the only thing that I am going to rely on is that, the lady loves her son. I call the next person i trust with this, My other brother who no matter what stands by me , my Mihir. He gives me a show up too. Now my confidence level increases and I make the last call to that one person I am so unsure will help me, given his honesty and sincerity in his job. Our friend ACP.
I call our friend and explain him everything, after a lot of convincing trails he understands the gravity of my situation and the moral righteousness in my act. Though halfheartedly, still he accepted but all that maaters to me is his acceptance gave me a sense of assurance that this will not go wrong. Now I will show my Jhansi ki rani, what her Ravan kumar can do to win her back. I set up everything needed and get a untraceable SIM with the help of ACP, though illegal but when we do something morally correct, we can really not think about ethics.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
A sigh of relief washed through my Wife's face which brought back to me my peace. The family celebrated her home return as if she has won gold medal in Olympics. She would have noticed my ignorance, though I hugged her when she came after the legal proceedings which took three more hours to free her, but I didn't talk to her after that, She might have noticed the same. It was a very dramatic day but I know there is more to come, as I want her to understand that this World doesn't necessarily be as good as her. With determination to make her understand i head towards my home, which I left after the grand lunch which was planned as part of her celebration for comeback. I also had to thank Mr.Chadda for his last minute help and support in releasing my Ishita. I park my car and see my wife waiting for me, A smile creeped my face but I managed to put a straight face and head to home without looking at her or acknowledging her. This would hurt her, I know, but I have to do this to make her understand this is not the World as what she sees it. No one is a snow white as her.
"Mom... Water please" I say relaxing my tie, I see Ishita bringing water for me, As I don't wanna create a scene in front of my children I take it and head towards my room, expecting her to follow. As I expected she came behind closing the door. She had kept my night clothes on the dresser, I avoided them and took a new pair, this will infuriate he, I know.
"What happened you didn't like these night clothes"
She asked me amazed, I guess. I didn't reply her, and went to shower.
As I opened the door changed she was sleeping on the bed in a sitting position, reality hit me hard, she has become dull and very tired due to the jail. It has took a toll on her, rather than resting herself after being home, she has started with her routine as if nothing happened. She will never change, her goodness shouldn't be redeemed.I will protect your goodness from people misusing it Ishita, I thought to myself and went to her. She jerked open her eyes.
"You came back, I was waiting for you to have dinner? I missed having dinner with you, please"
I didn't utter a word and nodded my head.
"Are you ignoring me? or Is it in my mind?"
This lady will never understand I thought again and told her what I was pinning to tell her.
"I wanted to shout at you and be angry at you Ishita, for putting us through this, You always blame me for not sharing things with you or keeping things from you, whatever you do, you claim I did what was for the best, I agree we both do that, because we always misjudge this World to be white or black, but the reality is we all are grey Ishita.. When you took Ruhi away from all of us just because you cannot let Shagun take her is/was a small example i can quote here to make you understand that people sometimes do only those things which are best for them, their selfishness blooms, No one is selfish or selfless Ishita everyone has their own percentages which makes us tag a person Good or Bad. Given the situation If you see Pallavi was also not wrong, she wanted to be free, so she just used you, framed you, this is what world is Ishita. But you have to understand that your husband and children's world crumbles down, I know whatever you do is with a good intention but please Ishita give me and your children your priority, This room doesn't look like heaven when you aren't beside me to hug whenever I feel like. I cannot look into my kid's eyes which searches for their mother. We all have our share of heartbreaks and separations faced don't put us through that phase again. Let us be your priority. Help others but have me as your companion, I will never deny like i did before hereafter. I will guide and support you through please." I folded my hand not looking at her, I was about to shout at her but i couldn't get myself to, I love this lady more than i knew. I was expecting some kind of reaction from this woman, when I didn't get it I looked up, to see what I dread to see. Her feeling little as a person, her being guilty for helping a person out of good intention. She sat there holding her head in her palms trying not to sob hard, though i could hear her long loud sobs. My eyes filled with tears when call I could do was take her in a Hug and tighten it, when I see her crying more seeing my tears. She cried in my arms mumbling sorry, but all i want to ask her is to be with me forever.
"I Love You Ishita"
Tenu itna main pyaar karaan
Ek pal vich sau baar karaan
Tu jaave je mainu chhad ke
Maut da intezaar karaan
Ke tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake
"SORRY"
"I love you's reply Should be I Love You, you duffer"
"Raman"Kuch bhi nahi hai ye jahaan
Tu hai toh hai isme zindagi
Kuch bhi nahi hai ye jahaan
Tu hai toh hai isme zindagi
Ab mujhko jaana hai kahaan
Ke tu hi safar hai aakhiri
Ke tere bina jeena mumkin nahin
Na dena kabhi mujhko tu faasley
Main tujhko kitna chahti hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake
Tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake
Aankhon ki hai yeh khwahishein
Ki chehre se teri na hatein
Neendon mein meri bas tere
Khwabon ne li hai karwatein
Ki teri ore mujhko leke chalein
Ye duniya bhar ke sab raaste
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake
Tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake
