Part 7
Raman opened his arms for her and ishita without thinking once ,embraced herself in his arms ,he encircled his his arms around her as if hiding her from world ,she started crying bitterly in his arms ,Raman closed the door and took her inside .He settled in couch and sat her on his lap ,she hided herself more in his arms while both were crying bitterly .Ishita was was almost trying to hide herself in his arms while he was caressing her hairs to conjole her .After some times when her hicupps lessen and ishita actually realised that what she is doing she tored herself from him and spoke trying to get up from his lap
" why are you here ".
R( surprised)- what do you mean by that ,where should I supposed to be .
I- with your wife .
R- I didn't get you ,who wife .
I- don't try to play innocent with me ,you yourself told that Lady in party that your wife is in home .
Raman then realised that she has actually listened his talks with that lady and that's why she was gone from the party .He smiled and spoke pulling her to him "To kya batata ki meri biwi mujhe chod kar bhag gayi hai ."
I(turning her face to sideways)- matlab .
R- matlab ,MATLAB you tell me everything was going smoothly ,mine and your Boths studies were almost complete ,then why did you went away without any bodies knowledge, I m asking from ma and papa numerous times about you but they are mum .Tell me ishi what happened why you went away ,I thought ma and papa told something to you and you went away but today when I got to know about you ,I called ma she was very much concerned about you ,then she atladt told me that you went away without telling them anything .( shooking ishita)- tell me ishi why you went away without informing anyone ,you should have waited for me na .
I- I m doing same.
Raman looked deeply into her eyes to know further ,she continued." After my 10th results ,I wanted to take science side but papaji told that I have to take care of appas business in future so I took commerce ,I also thought that if I will do MBA I will always with you as I too will join business .but everything shattered on the day when I went to home from hostel for my preparation leave of final samester of MBA .
FLASHBACK
Everything was alright ,Raman was gone to London for his further studies while ishita also lived in hostel as she was doing MBA .Actually the main reason was Beeji ,Mr and Mrs bhalla treated ishita as their daughter but Beeji never liked ishita ,she was always behind her for some reasons at last Mr bhalla decided to send ishita also to hostel .She was also happy that she can escape beejis hatered .It was her last year of MBA ,she already got job through campus selection in Bansal group of companies ,she wanted to share this news to bhallas .Soon their final exams date was annouced ,she went happily to home to crack the news of getting job .Though she knows that Mr bhalla will deny and she has to take care of business but still it was her first jobso she was too excited .She was about to enter the house when she heard seniors talking ,it was beeji .
B(passing some pics to toshiji)- toshiji these pics are some girls of whose alliance I have choosed for our Raman.
T- but Beeji you know Raman and ishita ...
Beeji didn't let toshiji complete and spoke almost scolding her " don't you dare to think ever that madrasan will be my Raman's wife .how can you think that orphan would be DIL of bhallas.
Mr bhalla - mawhat are you talking,I already gave very strong punishment to them ,my poor kids hadnot talked yet after I gave punishment to them ,then how can I cheat them .
B- its not cheating ,itne saal ho gaye ab to Raman bhi use bhool gaya hoga aud you people still want to tie Raman with her .
Mr bhalla - what if ,if they hadn't forget each other .
B- then do her marriage before Ranab comes back .
T- beeji please don't do this ,we will not be able to show our face to them ever .
B- I just don't know anything ,that girl should get married before Raman returns India .
Flashback ends .
I- after listening to this I cane back to my hostel and never went back to home because I don't want to put ma and papaji in delimma and I don't want to marry anyone else either .agar main wahan jaati to ya to ma papaji ko na chahte hue bhi mere liye koi aur ladka doondna hota and I would have to marry that boy because I was not in a position to deny them .So I never went back and thought if we are meant to be together then you will find me and see you at last found me .
Raman held his face in his ha D's and kissed her forehead ,she closed her eyes to feel his touch ,suddenly she recalled again about his words to that lady .ishita pushed him and spoke angrily ," why are you here ,go to your home your wife must be waiting for me."
R- ishi will you syol your stupidity ,I told na you are only my wife .
I- then why you told ...
R- (not letting her complete)- chup ekdam chup .I just told to avoid that lady aur tu pagal ladki much bhi sunegi aur viswaas kar legi .
I( innocently)- then you hadn't marry any girl .
R- nahi buddhu ,you were ,are and will be my girl always .got that .my jaan my bachcha how you managed everything all alone .
I- ( crying )- till I was in hostel ,all was difficult but ok because that time I had a hope that after our study we will be together but after that day everything was difficult for me .luckily I had that job ,I didn't tell anything to ma and papa and came here for joining my job , I don't had anything in my life except work so I worked hard and now I m CEO of bansal group of companies.
R( wounding his arms around her)- my baby ,I m so sorry you had struggled somuch that to alone ,I was not there with you .
I- dude you still love me na.
R( cupping her face)- ye bhi koi poochne ki baat hai ,dude is only for his ishi .
Saying so he again pressed his lips on her temple ,she closed her eyes feeling his soft touches ,he then showered numerous kisses of her face while she just let him do whatever he was doing ,he parted a bit and looked at her ,he traced her face and spoke caressing her cheeks " ishi tu kitni badi ho gayi but still you look as innocent and cute as you looked earlier .you can't even think how much I missed you and searched you .I use to sing your fav .song where ever I go thinking you will recognise me and come to me listening that song ,but I was not getting you atlast I got you here .
I- I recognized you because of that song only .
R- still you went from the party ,kam she kam mujhse ladne ke liye hi ruk gayi hoti ,haq tha tera haq se poocha hota ki dude you were mine how can you marry someone else .
I- I m sorry I doubted you .
Saying so she held ears and spoke " ishi sorry "
Raman removed her hands from her ears and spoke joining their foreheads
" buddhu ,you have just grown in size, your mind is still that tiny like earlier ".
Ishita glared him with angry pout ,he just bend and pecked her lips ,she widened her eyes in shock while he pulled for a tight hug .Then she tored herself from him and asked about his parents .
I- dude how is ma and papa .
R- they are good but very much guilty and sad .guilty because they think that they were not able to take care of you properly ,sad because I always pester them saying they didn't wanted me to be with you that's why they played this trick of our education and send you away from me .
I- and beeji .
R- she passed away last year .
I- ohh that's sad .
R(smiling )- really .
I- chup .
Saying so she hided herself in him .They talked about their life of last ten years for some more time and then slept in couch itself talking to each other .It was almost morning when Raman woke ,he say themselves sleeping in very uncomfortable position ,his back was also hurting.He got up slowly ,took her in his arms and walked towards the bedroom ,tucked her gently in bed and slid beside her ,she sunggled more to him and both slept peacefully cuddling to each other.
Next morning was the most beautiful morning for both of them ,ishita was first to wake ,she opened her droopy eyes feeling some one in her bed ,she then recalled the happening of last night ,she smiled fully and looked to Raman ,he was in deep sleep .
I(st)( tracing his face with her palm)- at last we are together ,thank you dude for loving me somuch ,you are the reason because of which I still alive ,nahi to main kab ki mar chuki hoti .
I- I love you somuch .
saying so she pecked his cheeks and was getting up when he pulled her to him ,she landed on his chest ,he immediately caged her in his arms and spoke " pati ko koi aise Good morning wish karta hai ."
I( drawing patterns in his chest with sad pout )- how could I know ,I only got my husband today only .
R(pressing his lips on her)- let me teach you .
Both shared a deep kiss and remain in bed for long time talking randomly, suddenly she saw the clock and got up in jiffy .
R- what happened ishi .
I- arey ,I was having an important meeting at night .
R- ( smiling )- with whom .
I- with PS..
She didn't completed but realised in mid that she had meeting with him only.
R( wounding his arms)- hum yaheen meeting kar lete hain ,bed par .
I( shyly )- datt .
R- on a serious note ,nobody is going anywhere as Ma ,papa will be reaching at any time .
I( surprised)- ma ,papaji .
R- yeah ,when I called ma at night ,she got so happy and excited that she was not able to control herself ,that very time I booked ticket for them of today morning .They will be reaching soon ,driver has already gone to receive them .
I( angrily )- aur aap mujhe ab bata rahe ho ,hato I have to get ready .
She pushed him and ran towards the washroom .She got ready and was going to do puja when Raman came after freshening, he went to puja room along with her ,they did puja together and Raman filled her partition from the sindoor of temple only ,a happy tear rolled from her eyes feeling the moment and the same time door bell rang .She went and opened the door ,Mr and Mrs bhalla was standing there .There eyes got teary while she down casted her head ,she bend down to take their blessing ,when toshiji pulled her legs and spoke " main tujhe koi aashirwaad nahi doongi ,tu chali gayi thi na ma ko chod kar '.
She got up and hugged her tight ,both cried hugging to each other and spoke
" ma I did what I thought was right as I wanted to save you people also ."
T- don't you have trust on us .
I- I had full trust on you people but we can't disobey beeji na .
Mr bhalla - bahut badi badi batein karne lagi hai .
Listening to this ishita looked at him ,he also opened his arms for her ,she went to him ,he hugged her and kissed on her forehead .Raman also came and joined them ,soon the family was having a great time as everything was ok now .
