Part 1
Ishita was talking her heart out to mihika when Raman was going down from terrace after having a talk with one of his client .He was about to climb down the terrace when he heard sisters talk ,he was equally surprised as mihika was ,boths mouth were open listening to ishita .Before mihika can react ,Raman wanted to shout on ishita for talking like this about him but same time he again received a call ,as it was urgent call he has to take it .He picked the call thinking that he will scold ishita after talking ,but when he came back ,ishita and mihika were gone to their house .Raman thought that he will give a good peace of mind to ishita whenever he will meet her.
Thinking so he also made his way to his house .He was trying to be angry with ishita but instead today all his mind was covered by her thoughts .The only thing he can think was the sincerity in ishitas word that she loves him and ruhi too much and will die without them .In the night he was trying to sleep but can only think about ishita , their first meeting ,her sweet relationship with ruhi ,he started thinking positive about ishita but again he recalled her mother's deed ,that she has gone to his office to know his financial status ,Raman again got angry and assured himself that he hate ishita and will never had a soft feeling about her .At last lost in thpughts of ishita he drifted to deep slumber .
Next morning ,he woke again with the sound of their mothers daily fighting , Raman got up and went to main door , thinking that its a hood chance ,he will now scold ishita for yesterday but to his bad luck or ishitas good luck ,before he reach there ishita took her mother inside to stop the fight . Raman again missed the chance to talk actually shout on ishita .
After sometimes ishra got ready and left their house for their respective work ,coincidently this time both met in the lift . ishita saw Raman and she went to the farthest corner of the lift and stood like a scared kitten ,she was curling herself as if trying to hide herself from Raman seems she knows what is coming .Raman thought its a good chance ,he can threaten ishita that how dare she said that she loves him ,she should stay away from him and his daughter .Raman was about to speak but before he can tell anything the lift stopped at the next floor and two ladies entered the lift .
Raman made a angry face as he missed the chance to shout on ishita .As it was society and society ladies are always interested in gossips ,they saw ishita and started to talk to her actually mocking her .
L1- ishita I heard that yesterday again your engagement broke .
Ishita nodded helplessly .
L2- But why did they broke the marriage .
L1- arey that same reason ,ishita is infertile na .
L2( making a sad face )- that's too bad ,isme ishita ki kya galti hai .
L1- arey iski nahi ,iski ma ki galti hai .
L2- now what her mother can do when she is infertile .
L1- arey she always choose very good boy for her daughter but never tell them about her condition that's cheating na .
L2- humm ,its too bad how can she do anything like this ,ek to uski apni beti ke ander khot hai ooper se bina bataye achche ladke ke saath apni baanjh beti ki shaadi karane chali hai ,to aisa to hoga hi .
L1- yeah you are right .
Then she turned to ishita and spoke " ishita tell your mother that she shouldn't see the dreams of your marriage to a fresh boy ."
L2- yes ishita she should look ,a boy who is at least 5 to 7 yes older than you and have kids ,may be a divorcee or a widower .
L1- actually Mrs sharma you are right , by this she can have husband and kids also . its a free advice ishita ,tell your mother to stop trapping innocent boys showing your beautiful face .
L2- haan ,koi kya jaane ki is khoobsurat chehre ke peeche kya aib ( disability) chupa hai .
Those ladies were mocking ishita and she was listening to all their rubbish down casting her eyes without any fault of hers but unknown to her for the very first time Raman was getting effected with all this . For a change he was feeling bad for ishitas condition and was going to scold those ladies but they left the lift before he prepared himself that he should defend ishita .Till now ishita was holding herself but the moment those ladies left her burst out into tears forgetting that someone else is there in lift .Raman felt pity looking to her condition ,for the very first time he had some feelings for her other that hatered . He took some steps towards ishita to console her but at the same time the lift opened as they reach the parking .Raman came out of the lift leaving ishita on her condition . He sat in his car but cannot leave for office as he was waiting for ishita to come out of the lift .He don't know why but he wanted to assure that she is all right. After about five min he saw ishita coming out from the lift and her face was again covered with the smile which she always had .Today he knew that how fake this smile is ,she is hiding a lot of pain inside her ,unknown to him ,his eyes got teary on her condition .
Soon he saw ishita sat in her car and drove away towards her clinic ,Raman also followed her but he made his way towards his office after a while .All the day Raman was again and again thinking about ishita, he was feeling very bad about her but was unable to help her as her problem is beyond his reach . In the evening when he reach his society ,he saw ishita and ruhi was sitting in the park of society and were talking to each other happily . is hits knows it very well that Raman ,toshiji and simmi don't like Ruhi talking to ishita so as soon as she saw Raman getting down from his car she send ruhi to him to avoid his scolding . Ruhi came running to Raman and spoke
" arey papa today you came early ,is anything special ."
R- No beta ,just like that ,I thought that we should go for a ice cream treat today .
Ru( happily )- yay,today we will go to have ice cream that too with papa .
Then she thought something and spoke " papa you go I m coming in a while ."
Raman saw before he can say anything ruhi was gone ,she went to ishita and informed same to her happily ,ishita also become happy ,she pecked on ruhis cheek and send her again ,ruhi happily went to her house . Soon Raman and ruhi were out icecream treat ,they enjoyed a lot ,he noticed that ruhi is super happy as she is with him . After having a good time ,the father daughter duo returned ,they were getting down from the car when Raman noticed that ishita is standing in the balcony as if she was waiting for someone . He thought to see whom she is waiting for ,to his surprise when he and ruhi came inside the building he saw ishita was gone .if it would be some other day Raman can never think in his dreams that ishita is waiting for him but today he immediately understood that she was waiting for him .He ruffled his hairs and went to lift ,the moment ruhi and him reach their house ,the door of iyer house opened and ishita came out from her house ,she was turning to other side and was telling her amma that she will be back soon but the reality was that ,she wanted to see Raman for the last time before the day end because after this she will only be able to see him next morning when they will go for their jobs .
As ishita was talking to her mother ,her face was on other side and Raman was busy in talking to ruhi ,non of them where looking straight ,the moment ishita turned she banged on Raman ,she was about to fall but he held her in nick of time and they shared a brief eyelock which was broken by ishita as she was scared that he will shout on her . Poor soul she loved him but at the same time she was very much scared of him , she wanted to see him all the time but never wanted to face him .
Ishita composed herself ,mouthed a " sorry" quickly and ran towards the stairs before raman can react . Ruman entered the house, after talking to his parents and having dinner ,he retired to him room . He thought all the happenings of today and he doubted himself that what he listened yesterday was true or he has listened wrong as ishita is not showing any positive response that she loves him ,little did he know that she is very much scared about him .she is scared about his reaction when he will come to know her feelings about him..
On the other hand ishita was on cloud nine as today she saw him many times ,also he didn't shouted or glared her any time and on the top of that he held her and didn't let her fall moreover they had an eyelock which she broked .She was super happy but next moment all her happiness was gone when she heard about another boy from her mothers mouth .
Ishita came out from her room and shouted on her mother " amma I m not going to meet any boy again ,m I a exhibition whom day to day boys come to see ,have you ever thought that what society people think and talk about us .Amma they think that we want to cheat people and you know what ,you are doing same by not telling them about my condition .listen amma from today onwards ,if you talk about my marriage I will go somewhere else.
Saying so she opened the main door and went to terrace to cry her heart out .
