"Doctor, mujhey nahi pata ye aadmi kon hai!" Ishita said looking at the doctor.
"Pls leave my hand!" Ishita ordered.
Raman was taken aback by Ishita's words.
"But he said, he's ur husband!" said the doc.
"Nahi, yeh mera pati nahi hai!" Ishita said angrily.
Just then, Mani who was standing there sent the doc away.
"Ishita..mai Raman..tum mujhey nahi pehchan rahi? Tumhara ravaan kumar hu Ishita.." Raman said.
"Mai kisi raman ya ravan ko nahi janti!" Ishita freed her hand looked away from Raman.
"Ishita...tum aisey kyun bol rahi ho?" Raman asked.
"Kyun? Mai toh aapke liye marchuki hun na? How does it matter?" Ishita glared.
"Ishita..."
"Nahi Raman! Shayad aap bhul gaye mai to manhoos hun, baanj hu hai na?" Ishita didn't let Raman complete.
"Aapka yahan rehna theek nahi hai raman..varna meni manhoosiyat aapko lag jaygi...apko kuch hogaya toh? Aap jaow yahan se Raman, pls!" Ishita said by looking away.
Raman had no words to say. He simply went away from there with a heavy heart.
Romi who was standing at far came to Ishita and said, "Bhabhi aap theek ho? Aapne bhai se aise behave kyun ki?"
"Tor aur kya karti mai? I don't have the energy to argue with him anymore..!" Ishita said.
"Bhabhi, bhai ko aapki abhi bhi chinta hai, vo baas gussa hai aapse!"
"Janti hun, Raman ko aaj bhi meri parvaah hai..par romi fikkar toh unki kartein hai na jinse aap pyaar karo...jab 7 saal pehle Ruhi ki death ki news ayi..tab unhone kya kiya? meri emotions ki fikaar ki? Jab mujhey unki sab se zyada zaroorat thi..kya kiya unhone? Ulta mujhpar ruhi ki maut ka inzaam lagaya, mujhey baanj kaha, manhoos kaha!.. U knw I think Raman is right..mai to hun he manhoos!" said a sobbing Ishita.
"Nahi bhabhi aisa kuch nahi hai..!"
"Nahi Romi, tumharey bhai ko ye samaj na hoga mai 7saal dur unse kyun thi!"
"Accha Ishu yeh saab baad mei baat karte hai..tum aram karo theek hai!?"
"Nahi Mani, I cant take rest now!" Ishita said anxiously.
"Kya maatlab?" Mani asked.
"Mani, Romi, I have to tell u both sth imp!" Ishita said.
"Haan bhabhi bolo!" Romi replied.
"Niddhi zinda hai!" Ishita said.
"Niddhi? Niddhi chabra?" Romi was shocked to hear.
"Haan! I caught her today, even mera accident Niddhi ne karvaya hai!" Ishita said.
(Few hours back)
"Aiyyo Murrugan, itni traffic hai, aaj ghar kaise pohchungi?" Ishita was agitated seeing the long queue of cars.
"I better take the long-cut, at least time toh save hoga!" Ishita turned her car towards the desolate highway, which is a long-cut, as soon as signal turned green.
As soon as she was turning the car, her phone rang, she bent to take the call without looking at front, and unknowingly a lady got hit in the process.
"Oh damn! I hope she's alright!" Ishita quickly got out of the car.
She bent down on her knees to grab the stuffs of the lady that she noticed it was a packet full of drugs(illegal). Ishita was stunned.
"Excuse me, yeh saab aapka hai?" Ishita asked the lady.
The lady who was slightly lying down, turned her face towards Ishita.
"Niddhi!!!!???" Ishita was shocked wud be an understatement. She was actually seeing the person in-front of her alive, who destroyed everyone's life.
"Oh shit! Ishita kahan se agayi! Jo bhi ho, abh mai har nahi sakti!" Niddhi quickly in a split second snatched her belonging from Ishita's hand, and started to run towards her car!
"Niddhi!!!" Ishita yelled as she fell down from Niddhi's push.
Ishita stood up on her feet only to find Niddhi running away.
"Nahi! Aaj nahi jaane dungi tumhein!" Ishita ran towards her car, and drove to catch Niddhi.
A cat and mouse chase was going on.
Ishita was able to cope up with Niddhi's speed, and drove past to her car's right side.
"Niddhi!! Tum baach ke nahi jaah sakti aaj! Stop the car!" Ishita yelled.
"Ishita tum mujhey kabhi pakar nahi paogi aur aaj to bilkul nahi!" Niddhi smirked.
Ishita glared at her with tears.
"Ishita...sambhal k!" Niddhi banged her car with Ishita's car, forcing Ishita's car to drift and stop.
"No!No!No!No! Aaj nahi murrugan! Aaj vo mere haat se bachkey nahi jaa sakti!" Ishita was sobbing.
A min later, Ishita's car engine finally rang. She immediately drove ahead.
Niddhi's car wasn't to be seen until after a while Ishita saw Niddhi's car parked at the side of the highway.
Ishita thought maybe her car broke down. She stopped her car at far. She got out of her car and took tiny steps towards Niddhi's car.
"I hope she's in the car!" Ishita thought.
She took few step towards the driver seat and opened the door, only to find it empty.
"What the hell? Voh kahan chali gayi?" Ishita peeked inside of the car.
Just when she took her head out, a sharp pain went thru her head.
Ishita turned out to see Nidhi dressed in black with her evil smiles flashing on her face, holding a stick.
"Ni..ni...nidh...nidhii...!" Before Ishita cud get hold of Nidhi she fell down unconscious.
After a while, Ishita woke up. She slowly opened her eyes feeling the pain on her head, to witness she was being tied by rope with the help of a tree. Nidhi brought her to the jungle beside the highway, she figured.
"Oh Ishita Bhalla jag gayi?" Niddhi's voice alerted Ishita.
"Ruhi kahan hai?" Ishita asked angrily.
"Kon Ruhi?" Nidhi replied with a smile.
"Meri Ruhi kahan hai Niddhi?" Ishita yelled on the top of her voice.
"Sshhh!! Zyada chilla maat varna abhi mardungi tujhey samjhi!" Niddhi glared.
"Tu maregi mujhey? Toh marna! Intezaaar kyun karrahi hai?" Ishita said fearlessly.
"Not so soon, darling! Abhi toh milein hai! Kuch baat to karle pehle...apni best friend se jo itne saalo baad mili hun!" Niddhi said by waving a gun around her fingers.
"Niddhi, Ruhi kahan hai pls bataow! I beg you!" Ishita asked while crying.
"Ruhi marchuki hai samjhi tum? She's dead!" Niddhi declared.
"Nahi yeh nahi hosakta! I don't believe you! Agar tum zinda hon toh Ruhi bhi hogi!" Ishita consoled herself.
"Accha theek hai...agar vo zinda hoi to kya?" Niddhi smirked.
"To kya matlaab? Voh zinda hai mujhey pata tumney usey chupaya hai...mai phir se puch rahi hun Niddhi..pls bata do Ruhi kahan hai pls...mai tum par koi case karungi..kuch bhi nahi...mujhey meri bacchi chahiye..pls..Nidhi!" Ishita sobbed and begged Nidhi.
"Oh is that so?" Niddhi faked of being surprised.
"But unfortunate..aisa hoga nahi..tumhei Ruhi kabhi nahi milegi..never ever..accha chalo bata deti hun..yes your Ruhi is alive...but u won't be able to see her cuz kuch der baad to mai tumhein Mardungi!" Niddhi laughed.
Meanwhile all this time, Ishita was trying to cut the rope by brushing it against the tree...and as soon as Nidhi looked away...she took a deep breath and with full force tried to cut the rope and it worked.
Nidhi turned her head and saw Ishita disapperead out of the blue.
"Ye kahan gayi?" thought a tensed Nidhi.
Just then someone pat her back and she turned to see Ishita standing with hot red eyes glaring at her.
"Bol Ruhi kahan hai?" And Ishita landed a tight slap on Niddhi's face. The slap was so tight that her gun flew away from her hands leaving a shocked Niddhi.
"How dare you slap me?" Niddhi yelled.
Ishita again slapped her and spoke, " Siddhey siddhey pucha tha na maine? Tuney jawab di?...abh yeh rasta he sahi! Jaldi bata Ruhi kahan hai varna aaj shaya mere haat se tera khuun hojayga Niddhi!"
Ishita took hold of the stick and starting beating Niddhi.
"Jeetna marna hai maar, mai kabhi nahi bataowngi ki Ruhi kahan hai...samjhi? Ruhi tujhey kabhi nahi milegi!" Niddhi started her pyshotic laugh while Ishita left no stone unturned in order to get Ruhi's detail.
After a while Ishita stopped beating Niddhi...she was out of breath..
"Ruhi...Ruhi...mujhey ussey dhunda hai..meri bacchi zinda hai...aaj jo hojai mujhey Ruhi ka pata lagana hai!" Ishita was murmuring to herself while being restless.
Niddhi looked at Ishita and saw her lost in thougts and took this opportunity to look for her gun.
Ishita finally gasped her breath and moved her head towards slowly towards Niddhi, to find her pointing gun at her forehead.
"Bohot ho gaya Ishita abh tumhara is duniya se jane k vaqt agaya hai!" Niddhi said sternly. Ishita gave an anxious look.
"Tum aapni maqsad mein kabhi kamyab nahi ho pawgi Niddhi!" Ishita said one last sentence before Niddhi knocked her out with her gun by hitting it at her head. Ishita collapsed on the floor by the blow.
Niddhi didn't shoot her as later she she might get into trouble. She rather had a better plan to kill Ishita. Niddhi then pulled Ishita up with full force..she struggled a bit..but later managed to get her seated in the drivers seat of Ishita's own car.
Niddhi then went to the forest to get some heavy rock. She then fetched a rock, piled it up on the accelerator of the car and tightened Ishita's seatbelt. She closed the door and started the engine...the car began to sail off slowly...Niddhi then took Ishita's arms and placed in on the steering wheel and bid a final goodbye to her enemy. Ishit, was at that time, a lil conscious, she knew what was happening but was helpless to do anything as she listened the last words from Niddhi, " Goodbye Ishita! Afsos tum abh kabhi Ruhi se mil nahi paowgi par koi baat nahi ...mai hun na..mai hamesha uska khail rakhun gi..chinta maat karna...philhal tum aapni is akhri sawari ka acche se maaza lena theek hai?..goodbye!"
With that final goodbye, Niddhi watched Ishita's car sailing away, in the hope that it will crash and fume in fire and thus nobody wud suspect it of a murder. Niddhi then fetched her car and sailed off the other way thinking she finished Ishita off once and for all.
Ishita while being in her unconscious state wasn't fully unconscious, she sensed what was going on. She tried to bend down to remove the stone which was placed on the accelerator but cudn't...she was still feeling dizzy..then she took a glance out of the windscreen and saw a truck approaching towards her...she pressed the horn but in waste. The truck driver didn't respond and was heading the truck right in the middle of the highway...Ishita quickly drifted her car to the left, therefore surpassing the truck, and crashed into a barell then the tree.
Meanwhile, Romi was heading back from the same highway, and minutes later after Ishita's accident took place, he reached the scene. Romi saw a car being bumped into the tree and to check if everything was alright..he parked his car and rushed to the spot only to find Ishita in a vulnerable state with blood ozzing out from her forehead. Romi was shock wud be an understatement...moreover when he removed the seatbelt and went on to carry Ishita..when he noticed the stone place at the bottom..he immediately knew somebody tried to kill his bhabhi. Without a further a do...he took Ishita to the the hospital at the nick of time.
(At Present in the hospital)
Ishita finished narrating the whole story to Romi and Mani. They both were devastated to hear Ishita's accident was done by none other then Niddhi.
"Bhabhi..matlab agar Niddhi ney yeh saab karvaya hai phir toh voh ye soch rahi hogi ki aap marchui ho accident mei?" Romi asked restlessly.
"Haan! Yehi cheez ka to hamein fayda uthana hai!" Ishita said firmly.
"Phir to..Ru...Ruhi bhi zindagi ho!" Romi beamed a smile upon this thought.
"Haan vo zinda hai..I'm 100% percent sure! We have to find out where is she...pata nahi meri bacchi kaise rahe hogi itne saalo taak uss aurat k saath...baas abh mujhey meri bacchi chahiye chahey kuch bhi ho..!" Ishita started a sobbing a lil.
"Bhabhi..you don't worry...we will get her back for sure!" Romi assured.
"I hope so Romi!" Ishita replied.
"Mani you listening?"Mani was lost in thoughts when Ishita's voice brought him back.
"Yes...yes..Ishu!" he nodded.
"Bhabhi don't u think we shud tell Bhai about Niddhi being alive?" Romi quizzed.
"Not now Romi! Last time I had made a mistake and Niddhi ran away...but this time we have to be very cautious and until we caught her...I don't think we shud tell Raman bout it!"
"Theek hai Bhabhi!" Romi nodded.
Just then someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Ishita answered. It was Raman standing on the door. Ishita's eyes again looked away from him in sort of anger.
"Vo main...mera phone bhul gaya tha..so!" Raman spoke hesitantly.
"Yeah...yeah...no problem Raman!" Mani replied back.
Raman came in and took his phone while slightly looking at Ishita. He took his eyes away from her and went away with his phone.
As soon as Raman went away, Romi spoke, "Bhabhi aapko uski gari ka number pata hai jiske vajah sey yeh saab huwa?" Ishita replied positively and told the car's number to Romi.
"Abbh to vo zaroor pakri jaygi...aap chinta maat karna bhabhi mai ussey zaroor dhund luga jisne appka yeh accident karvaya!" Romi spoke sternly.
"Ishu now take rest for a while!" Mani said.
"haan bhabhi..aap thoda araam karo! Mai bhi jatan hun...and aap chinta maat karna...mai koi kasar nahi chodunga Niddhi ko dhunde mein!" Romi left after assuring Ishita.
"Ishu...mai vo medicines lekey ata hun tum araam karo!" Mani was bout to leave when Ishita stopped him.
"Par Mani your shoot? Uska kya huwa?"
"Uhh...that...I cancelled the shoot for today!" Mani replied in a soft voice.
"Srsly Mani? Aisey toh kharchey aur badh jayenge!"
"It's ok Ishu...it's not a problem..now don't speak so much...u heard what the doc said right? Take rest I'll be back!"
"Btw where is Aaliya?" Ishita asked quizically.
" Pata nahi kaha hai..I've been calling her since u got admitted in hospital..but her phone is coming unreachable..!" Mani left leaving a tensed Ishita on bed.
(After some time)
Ruhi reached the hospital premised. She immidiately went to the lobby to ask bout Ishita. This time she was in a normal girly gettup as had she came as Ruhaan it might have created problems for her. Ruhi went to the ward where Ishita was shifted and upo reaching there she saw no one here and there infront of the door, so she decided to sneak in to the room and have a check on her Ishima. She entered the room to find Ishita sleeping peacefully.
"Ishi..Ishimaa!" Ruhi whispered seeing Ishita in a bad condition. Her eyes became moist when she took a glance at the bandages rolled on her forehead and arms.
She took few steps forward and sat beside the bed. She didn't realized when she started crying all of a sudden.
"Ru...Ruhi...kahan ho baccha?" Ishita was murmuring in her sleep.
"Main yahin hoon Ishima!" Ruhi replied in a soft tone.
Ruhi stood up and started caressing Ishita's forehead with tears forming in her eyes while Ishita was still in her slumber. She remebered some sweet happy moments spent with her Ishima..amidst the memories she also remebered that fateful night yet again.
"Mujhey kuch samaj nahi araha..yahan Ishima mera naam le rahi hai neend me..mujhsey itna pyaar karti hai phir mujhey kyun dediya unhone?" Ruhi thought as she wiped her tears.
Ruhi was lost in thought when she got a call from Niddhi.
"Yes ma'am..I'm coming!" Ruhi hung up the phone and and was bout to leave when Ishita held her hands. Ishita was still murmuring Ruhi's name in her slumber and Ruhi again became emotional but controlled her feelings remembering bout that fateful day. She freed her hands and went off from there.
(At Hotel)
Niddhi was attending a call when Ruhi entered.
"Yeah..I'll call you later!" Niddhi disconnected the call seeing Ruhi.
"Where the hell were you? Aur yeh saab kya hai? Ladki ke kaapde pehenke kahan gayi thi tum?" Niddhi noticed Ruhi was in a girly getup and fumed in anger.
"Vo..vo mai..hos..!"
"You know what? Koi baat nahi!" Niddhi cut her middle and spoke.
"I can understand Ruhi...tumhein ladki banne ka bohot mann karta hoga..so it's ok...aaj maaf kiya kyun ki aaj mai bohot khush ho..finally rastey ka kata haat gaya aaj!" Niddhi continued.
"Matlab?" Ruhi gave a confused look.
"Matlab ye ki Ishita Bhalla is DEAD!" Niddhi grinned shooking Ruhi's shoulders.
Ruhi's eyes held wide open hearing that, she figured that it was Niddhi who tried to kill Ishita. She was astonished beyond words that a person can be so cruel to this level. She understood Niddhi thought Ishita was dead, anger was building up within but she controlled her anger and tried to remain calm.
"Ishi..Ishita is dead? How?" Ruhi spoke hesitantly trying to get some answers from Niddhi.
"Yes she is! She got to know bout you being alive so I had to the job...I cudn't have let that bitch know bout you at any cost!" Niddhi cast an evil smile.
"SHUT UP!! She's not a bitch! How dare you call her that?" Ruhi cudn't took it further and burst out her real feelings.
Niddhi looked at Ruhi in anger.
"Kya kaha? Teri himmat kaise huwi mujhsey is tarah baat karneki? Bhul gayi tere maa baap ne tujhey chod diya tha...it was me who took care of you not your parents!" Niddhi burst in anger holding Ruhi's cheeks tighly.
"Ma'am get off me!" Ruhi shouted by pushing Niddhi away.
Ruhi's actions took Niddhi by surprise.
"Ma'am 7saal pehle kya huwa tha?" Ruhi begged.
(7 years back)
"I hope everythings ready!" Niddhi was talking over the phone while she was on her way to the destination where she called Ishita to bring along Ruhi.
"Everything shud be done according to the plan..!" Niddhi hung up the phone when she saw Ishita already standing there with Ruhi.
After getting hold of Ruhi, Niddhi drove past the ACP's team, leaving Ishita and ACP chasing for her, while Raman watched everything from far.
Ruhi was sobbing continously and looking back when Niddhi made her drink a bottle of water forecfully to calm her down.
"Chalo accha hai everything's going acoording to plan!" Niddhi thought.
"Ruhi won't even remember anything!" Niddhi smirked as she saw Ishita's car chasing her, thorugh the rear-view mirror.
"Why I am feeling so dizzy?" Ruhi thought by shooking her forehead. Soon Ruhi dozed off to sleep and Niddhi beamed a smile seeing everything falling into place. She had drugged the water bottle before so that after drinking water Ruhi wud feel dizzy and therefore wud fall asleep.
She called someone so that the next part of her plan gets into process.
Niddhi raised the car speed, on the other hand Ishita was continously yelling at ACP to drive faster. Suddenly a truck came with flashing headlights...somehow Niddhi drove past the truck... a huge smile glowed on her face as if she was bout to reach her destination soon.
"Abhishek what are you doing?" Ishita yelled.
"Fasten the speed pls...varna vo haat sey nikal jaygi!"
"Ishita ji I can't speed up now..a truck is approaching and the driver isn't responding to the horns..what shud I do?" Abhishek was in dilemma and he had to slow down his speed as the truck was coming towards their car, almost covering an entire area of the road.
Niddhi saw there were no traits of Ishita's car neither the police. She quickly took another route via the forest and made a third call to signal the last step of her plan to begin.
A similar type of car with stuntman, on the frontseats, were waiting in that road for the call so they begin their work as they were told to. They received confirmation to do what they've been told to and executed the plan.
Finally after evading the truck...Ishita saw Niddhi's car driving, supposedely, towards a dead end.
To their horror the car fell down the cliff, before they cud caught them...leaving Ishita and Raman devastated as they saw their daughter, supposedly, being killed in the accident.
"Wow Niddhi you truly are sth...what a masterstroke...abh Raman Ishita yahi sochenge unki beti car accident mei margayi aur mai aramse Ruhi ko lekaar yahan sey chali jaowngi." Niddhi laughed by looking at Ruhi who was in deep slumber oblivious bout the happenings that night.
(Present)
Niddhi recalled what actually happened that night.
"Ma'am mai kuch pooch rahi hun? 7saal pehle kya huwa tha? I need to know" Ruhi's voice broke Nidhi's trance.
"What do you mean kya huwa tha? Batay to tha tujhey...yaad nahi aise teri Ishima ne tumhari badle aapni bacchi lene ka sauda kiya tha?"
Ruhi blinded by hate beleived Niddhi's word once again as she recalls Ishita saying bout giving her for Pihu in the hospital. She didn't ask any further question but deep down she knew sth was amiss. "What if there is sth more to it? I have to find out!" Ruhi thought.
------*------
Next part: Raman coming to know Niddhi is alive.
