THEME 1

ENTRY 1

I WILL NEVER BE ALONE

Background

Ishita and Raman have been married for almost 3 years. Theirs was an arranged marriage, but they eventually fell in love in their courtship days, after spending time with each other. Raman is working as CEO in a multinational company while Ishita is an Oncologist in City Hospital.

Raman and Ishita were living happily unknown to the fact that a storm is going to come in their life, that too very soon. It was one beautiful morning when Ishita and Raman were sleeping peacefully in each other's embrace. Suddenly the alarm rang breaking their beauty sleep. They wished each other good morning with a lovely kiss and moved away to get ready for the day. Days were beautiful as always for both of them.

It was one fine day when Ishita was sitting in hospital going through the records of her patients, when something got hold of her, which left her worried. This was the start of dreadful days for Ishita-Raman. Slowly things started falling apart, while Raman was having no clue what exactly happened all of a sudden. He was trying different ways to mend everything properly but nothing worked this time which left him worried.

One day Raman was sitting in his living room when Ishita walked in. Raman smiled seeing her and approached her taking her into a hug, while Ishita's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't do anything but she was determined to do what she has planned. She moved out of the hug stating that she needs to have a word with Raman, while Raman was very curious to know what his dear wife has planned. They never had this much differences in these 3 years of their married life. Raman was looking at her requesting her to continue.

Ishita: Raman, I want a divorce.

As soon as the word divorce came from her mouth, Raman felt as if he has lost everything. His heart started beating faster while his eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't move or think further just got stuck there with Divorce ringing in his mind and ears. Ishita couldn't see him like this so she turned around. She was about to walk away when her steps came to a halt listening to a sound. She turned in jiffy only to find Raman lying there unconscious. This was more than enough to make Ishita panic. She sat there crying, but got hold of her and called doctor.

Soon doctor arrived and checked Raman, and he told Ishita that Raman got stressed out. Just take care of him. He would be fine. Ishita quickly called her hospital and requested a leave for two days. Even she called Raman's office and informed them about Raman's illness stating no one should disturb him. He needs to be fine soon. Later Ishita sat next to him and was silently sobbing on what she did. But this made her decision more firm.
It took few hours for Raman to get back to his senses. He was overwhelmed to see Ishita beside him with worry, love and care all over her face. Ishita helped him with everything. It has been two days now since Ishita announced her decision, but lately Raman started to believe that things have fallen in place. It has been a week now and Raman was recovering. He was happy that his illness brought them closer little did he knew that his dreams are going to shatter very soon.

He was lost in his thought when Ishita walked in with an envelope in her hand. She moved forward and handed him the same. As soon Raman saw it his smile faded away. He looked up with teary eye to find Ishita looking at him with expecting eyes.

Raman: Can you please give me some time? I can't decide.

Ishita: What is there to decide Raman? Can't you do this for me please?

Raman: Please tell me Ishita, what went wrong. I will focus on that. But please don't leave me. I can't imagine my life without you. I would prefer dying rather than being without you.

Ishita: Raman stop it. I don't want to listen anything. Please do me this favor.

Raman: (Sadly) Give me sometime please.

Ishita: okay, do that soon.

Ishita left the room, leaving Raman heartbroken. Raman was staring at the papers with moist eyes, while Ishita was sitting in another room, crying her heart out. Raman was keenly looking at those papers when he saw some dried tears. He was very sure that Ishita is not happy with this, but don't know why she wanted to take this way.

Next morning was a new start, Raman was now a man on mission to get the truth out. He tried every possible ways to get the truth out, but couldn't. He didn't knew what to do when his mobile rang, it was his Jeweler. He called him to inform that the diamond set he had asked them one month back is ready according to his request. That is when Raman realized that it's going to be their third wedding anniversary in 2 days. Raman planned to make it special, and maybe he could get the truth out in one or the other way.
Raman reached home in evening after picking up the diamond set from his jeweler. Ishita was busy in kitchen making tea. She came in living room and handed over the tea to Raman. Both were silent and Raman took it as a chance to start the conversation. Ishita do I still have the rights to ask you something, to which Ishita just nodded her head. Raman continued further after getting the nod and started You know I don't know how to ask, but can you please allow me to celebrate our anniversary. I don't know that we would be getting any chance in future. I just want to live the moment, to cherish it lifelong. Raman continued talking about same while Ishita was busy admiring him. She was touched and was in aww seeing his love for her. Raman also kept a condition that there shouldn't be any differences. It should be like they always did. Ishita agreed to him as she too wanted to cherish her moments with him.

Slowly two days passed by and it was their anniversary.

[Author's Note: This is how they always celebrated their anniversary, so there won't be any differences in their relationship for this day, as Raman already requested]

As soon as it was 12 a.m. Raman reached their bedroom with a cake in his hand, to find the usual sight. Ishita was sleeping there hugging Raman's pillow. He was admiring her, when suddenly he realized why he was here. He woke Ishita up wishing her a very Happy Anniversary. Ishita smiled and hugged him tightly. Raman moved out of her embrace after sometime and took her lips for a kiss and began to chew her lips slowly, lovingly yet passionately. They hungrily kissed each other to satisfy their heart. After don't know how long they parted.

Raman quickly picked Ishita and took her to the sofa of their bedroom. Their anniversary cake was waiting there on the table. They cut the cake together and fed each other lovingly, and now it was time for Gift. Raman quickly handed over his gift while Ishita handed him his. They slowly opened the gift, Ishita was stunned to see the beautiful diamond set while Raman was too overwhelmed to see the diamond studded platinum bracelet with ISHRA embossed in ruby and sapphires.

They sat there and chatted for some time. Ishita was busy reminiscing their wedding day when Raman picked her up in his arms taking her to bed. He made her lie down, and took the place next to her. Slowly their passion took over and they made love, followed by a beautiful sleep in each other's embrace. Next morning was dream come true moment for both of them. They wanted this to last forever. With the sunrays peeing in they woke up, and their day started with a good morning kiss.

It was a day off for both of them as always. They got ready for the day. The whole day was a bliss, Raman and Ishita both spent their every moment with each other. Raman was with her in kitchen too helping her preparing food items for them. He too even tried his hands on some of the items. Soon it was evening time. It has been always a private affair, so they got themselves ready after arranging table for their date.

After almost an hour both reached their living room dressed properly. They sat their enjoying their moment. Soon Raman took her hand in his and they swayed on the beats of the songs that were running in background. Both were happy and content. After some long hours they sat on their places, and started with their dinner where Raman was feeding Ishita and Ishita to Raman. They enjoyed their meal thoroughly, and later had their desert.
They talked for some time, when Raman poured two glasses of wine. He handed over one to Ishita. They drank it slowly cherishing their moment, later Raman insisted on having one more glass and they had their second glass celebrating their togetherness.
After almost an hour of random talk, Raman walked towards Ishita and picked her in his arms further moving to their bedroom, which was beautifully decorated with flowers, candles and balloons. Raman slowly placed Ishita on bed but Ishita partially came over him making her hair fall. Raman started tucking them behind and no one was prepared for what followed next in the process. They got wild and made love passionately till they were exhausted. Raman lied down beside Ishita and she kept her head on his chest and hugged him. Raman knew it was beast time to get things out. He started

Raman: Ishita, don't you love me?

Ishita: Of course I do love you Raman. How can you ask such question?

Raman: Wow Ishita, I don't have even the right to ask this question and you have the right to ask me Divorce. Right?

Ishita: It's not that Raman just that I don't have time. I won't be there always, so wanted to leave you.

Raman: What do you mean?

Ishita: Nothing.

Saying so Ishita hugged him tightly and slept. Raman was engrossed with the short new revelation and was thinking to get the truth out. He was about to sleep, when he heard Ishita mumbling "I don't want to die, can't leave you alone. Raman was shocked as soon as he heard that. He connected 2 and 2 and got sure that something is bothering Ishita, might be some illness. He was determined and spoke to her "I will never be alone, I Promise. He kissed her temple and slept hugging her.

Next morning was another eventful day for Ishita and Raman. Raman woke up early and took keys of Ishita's cabin, moved out and drove to hospital. He reached her cabin and started searching when he got hold of the reports. He found that Ishita is having Brain Tumor. He was shocked and broken but later composed himself and drove back home. He reached his room to find Ishita still sleeping. He woke her up stating he needed to talk. Ishita woke up and she realized her state. Suddenly flashes of yesterday night came into her mind making her blush. She composed herself and looked up to find Raman serious.
She asked him to continue when he blasted at her with all his frustration and anger. Ishita asked him what happened to which he threw her reports in front of her. As soon as Ishita saw the file she turned pale and looked away.

Raman: This was the reason you asked for divorce, Right?

Ishita: Raman please don't take stress, you recovered just last week.

Raman: why you care so much for me? It would have been better that I would have died.

Ishita: Just shut up Raman, never ever say that again.

Raman: I can't even say it and you were suffering all alone.

Ishita: Sorry Raman, but I can't see you in pain.

Raman: You hurt me more than enough Ishita. It was height. I would have never got to know if you wouldn't have mumbled all this under the effect of alcohol and your sleep. I am very angry. I am never going to divorce you.

Ishita: Raman, I just wanted you to move on.

Raman: Thanks but no Thanks. I am not going anywhere nor you. I will talk to my friend who is in Australia and is the best Oncologist there.

Ishita: I too am a doctor Raman. But I know the results

Raman: Tell me if this was one of your patients, could you have lost hope.

Ishita: Never, I couldn't give up on my patients

Raman: And I couldn't give up on my love.

I am sorry Raman I was scared that you won't be able to take all this. I am really sorry and she hugged him tightly from back. Raman tried to shrug it off but Ishita didn't gave him any chance. Ishita started to kiss him. Raman was trying to resist but he couldn't do that for long. His revolt broke as soon as Ishita asked him to love her again, and what followed was again a wild, passionate, hungry love making. Exhausted they slept off in each other's embrace, waiting for new dawn.

It was noon when they woke up and got ready. Raman mailed all the reports to his friends. After a wait of 12 hours his friend replied to come along with Ishita and they could operate Ishita as soon as possible. Soon the arrangements were made and both flew to Australia. After few more tests, Raman's friend decided to go with surgery, though he mentioned Raman about the chances being less. Raman was there to motivate Ishita while she was busy convincing him to move on if anything happens to her, which always went to deaf ears. It was day of surgery and Raman was pacing to and fro in the hospital corridor praying to almost every God. After a wait of 6 hours his friend finally came out, stating the operation was successful but we need to monitor her after she is awake. I can update you properly after 24 hours.

Next 24 hours were too much for Raman. He was very worried, but was confident about his love. Soon it passed by and Ishita was all fit and fine. Doctor gave Raman the green signal and he was overwhelmed. He rushed inside and took Ishita into a bone crushing hug while tears made their ways from both pair of yes.

Slowly time started passing by and Ishita was recovering. It was almost 2 weeks and Raman decided to take Ishita back. He asked doctors and they allowed him to proceed further. Raman made every arrangements, and soon they were back to their paradise, to start all over again.

Love makes you strong to fight, confident to survive and adamant to revive. Live your life, fight your fear and smile making others smile.

THEME 2

ENTRY 2

MY WORLD SMILE WHEN YOU SMILE

Background

Ishita and Raman were college lovers. They had completed their MBA 6 years ago. Raman is now the CEO of one of the company, and Ishita too is working as a Marketing Head in other reputed company. They recently got engaged and were about to get married in three months.

Raman and Ishita were enjoying their official courtship period, and were excited about their upcoming marriage. It was one fine day when Ishita and Raman were planning to meet each other for Lunch and later shopping for impending wedding. They were very much excited as it was long since they had met each other for lunch.

Ishita was going through her wardrobe to get the best outfit, and after an hour she decided with a blue dress, which Raman gave her on their first valentine day. It was always precious for her. Other side Raman too was doing the same, going through his wardrobe to select the best outfit for the day and ended up picking up his forest green t shirt with his black denims. He even put on his sleeveless navy blue jacket, which Ishita gifted him on his last birthday.
Soon Raman drove to Ishita's place to pick her up. As soon as Raman reached there, he called her and in no time Ishita was there in front of him. He got lost in her while Ishita felt conscious after his heated gaze. She walked towards Raman but Raman was in his own world and he never knew when Ishita reached closer to him. She waved her hands in front of him bringing him out of his dreamland.

Raman: (Huskily) looking beautiful Sweetheart.

Ishita: Thanks Raman. You look dashing too.

Raman: Oh seems like, madam is in a very good mood. Flirting with your fianc.

Ishita: Not flirting with my fianc but my ex-lover you know.

Raman: Ishita your jokes are going overboard. I am still your lover before anything else.

Ishita: Okay I am sorry. I was just kidding. Anyway we are on a lunch date after so long, I don't want to spoil it. Let's go.

And they moved to Raman's car, took their places and drove off to their favorite Italian restaurant to have their lunch. Raman has booked the table in the farthest corner and they were busy relishing their food with their cute, sweet, romantic talks in the meantime. After Lunch they had their favorite desert while Raman was trying to get naughty but Ishita strictly warned him, making his face fall like a sulking baby. Soon they left the place to shop for themselves.
Raman took Ishita to one of the best designer studio and they selected color coordinated outfits for the functions. Later Raman took her to jewelry store and got matching jewelries for Ishita. Raman paid the bills and handed them all the packets, asking them to deliver it at Ishita's place ASAP. They moved out of the place, while Ishita was clueless about the plan. He asked Ishita to sit in his car and they drove off.

Ishita: Raman where are you taking me along. We were out today to have lunch and shop which is already done. Where are you taking me? Amma would get angry on me as always for hanging with you for so long after engagement.

Raman: Ishita calm down. I have a surprise for you and don't worry Amma won't be angry, I have talked to her. It was all pre-planned. Everyone was aware of this except you.
Ishita: That's not fair Raman, you started keeping secrets from me.
Raman: It's not like that sweetheart, it was your surprise. You know I love planning surprises for you just to see the world's most beautiful smile, MY WORLD SMILE WHEN YOU SMILE.

Ishita: Okay I am forgiving you, but no more secret.

Raman: Okay, then I am not going to plan any surprise for you in future too, and even you too can't do it.

Ishita: (Sulking) You won't plan a surprise.

Raman: Obviously not, how can I make my princess sad. But I will still keep this surprise intact.

Ishita: But I like surprises

Raman: Then why are you arguing.

Ishita: I wanted you to pamper me like always, but you planned not to give me surprise. Poor Me.

Raman: You behave like a baby sometimes. I wish my kids doesn't go on you. I won't be able to handle five babies at the same time.

Ishita: (Shocked) Five babies, are you out of your mind Raman. We won't be having more than two

Raman: (Naughtily) So Madam agreed to have babies. Let's start from now on.

Ishita: (Blushing) Raman behave. And moreover why you are planning to have kids now itself. We are yet to get married. And one more thing, we are not going to have more than two.

Raman: I am also saying the same thing, we will have babies 2 times; but madam I will ensure that you get pregnant with twins both times. And apart from that I have one more baby and that's you. So was my count alright, we will have five.

Ishita: (Blushing) You are really being naughty today. What happened to you? Anyways leave that, where is my surprise.

Raman: Hold on madam, will be there soon.

After a ride of about 30 mins they reached the destination. It was a new society. Raman asked Ishita to move out as they have reached. Ishita came out but was clueless about the agenda. Soon Raman took hold of her hand and moved to one of the building. It was a multi-story building with numerous apartments.

Ishita: Raman, did we came to meet someone.

Raman: Wait, soon to be Mrs. Raman Kumar Bhalla

Ishita: Raman, what is this. You are not telling me anything.

Raman: Okay Sorry. Please close your eyes.

Ishita: I am not going to close my eyes, you are just fooling me around.

Raman: Okay just 2 minutes.

Soon Raman took out the keys of those apartments in his hands. He asked Ishita to open her eyes. She opened it but couldn't find anything as her surprise.

Ishita: Raman I can't see anything special.

Raman: Sweetheart, can't you see the keys of new apartments, I have booked for us

Ishita: (Shockingly) What?

Raman: Yes baby, actually I wanted all of us to live together. So I planned all this. As you can see that every floor has 4 flats, and all these flats are 4BHK. So I booked 2 floors for our family. Flat 001 for Amma-Appa, Flat 002 Mummy Ji-Papa Ji, Flat 003 Raman-Ishita, Flat 004 Bala-Vandita. Coming to next Floor, 101 for Romi, 102 for Simmi, 103 for Rinki, 104 for Mihika.

Ishita: What is all this Raman? You wasted so much money here without asking me. Amma Appa would never agree, even I think Mummy Ji Papa Ji too won't. Why you want all of us to live in separate apartments. You even got for Bala Jiju and Vandita Akka.

Raman: Hey calm down. I already talked to everyone and did it after everyone's approval. Actually I got hold of this property few days after we informed our parents. Since then I was trying to do this. And you know, it was some offer at that time so I got it in a reasonable range.

Ishita: Okay Fine, I agree. But what was the need for Romi, Simmi, Rinki and Mihika.

Raman: Come On, they would get married someday. I want to book their place too. They would be living with our parents. Till then we can rent their spaces.

Ishita: Okay I get it. But is everyone happy with the arrangement.

Raman: Of course Ishita nothing is going to change. It's just we sleep in our apartments. We will spend our day with family only not to forget the meals. It's just I wanted family with our privacy. We can be there all the time.

Ishita: This was a shock more than a surprise. Okay then tell me why you got me here, just to reveal the suspense.

Raman: Oh I totally forgot. Actually I have asked designer to visit the place, so that you get it decorated accordingly. Vandita-Bala too would be joining. You both have to get yours flats ready according to your tastes, obviously with some inputs from your husband. Later we would design Mummy-Papa and Amma-Appa flat too. So madam, get everything fixed soon, (whispering) even the rooms for our babies.

Ishita: (Blushing) Okay I will get it done soon.

Raman: Pleasure is all mine, would be Mrs. Bhalla. You know Mummy Ji wanted to welcome you here. So before marriage we all would shift here. We have planned to rent our existing flats. And madam, we will have new furniture here so look for them too. Bala planned to sell his flat, and he even got the buyer and made a commitment.

Ishita: Raman it is getting so costly. How everyone managed the payments.

Raman: Actually Ishita we all gave down payment earlier only. We had that much savings. I already had plans for our flat so I was having FD, and I paid the complete amount before possession. Bala too paid the complete amount as he received good amount after selling his flat. Papa Ji and Appa had FD and they broke it off to make the payment for their flats. It wasn't a full cover, but I suggested them to go with a loan application, and we can easily pay it off with the rent we would be receiving in future. The problem was with the flats I took for Romi, Simmi, Rinki and Mihika. They are young and I didn't wanted them to be under burden of loan, but they happily agreed. Since all of them were working the loan application was accepted and we paid it off. Since they are not going to use the flats, we would rent them and get good amount to pay the installments. Everything is set.

And Ishita if there would be any problem, you too are there who is working. We can solve everything as long as we are together. Soon Bala-Vandita too joined them. They chatted for some time when designer too arrived with his catalogues and designs. Soon everyone engrossed themselves in planning. It took hours for them but finally everything was sorted. The designer asked them to give him a week time to arrange the stuffs. Romi had ordered set of electrical appliances from one of his friend which would take a week time too. Things have fallen in place finally.

It was already late so Raman and Bala decided to dine together with their lovely better-half. They had their dinner with some chit chat and soon drove back to their places. Raman went to drop Ishita first. Soon they reached there and Raman was about to leave, but Ishita asked him to come upstairs so that he can meet Amma-Appa and even take his shopping bags which were delivered at her place.

Soon Ishita and Raman reached the apartment and Amma-Appa welcomed Raman. Amma asked if they care to take some tea/coffee but Raman denied stating they already had dinner and he is full. Amma appreciated their shopping as she already went through the contents of the packet once. Soon Raman explained them about the arrangements they have done for the designing of their apartments. He even showed them the pictures of the designs they approved. They had conversation for some time and Raman left after picking his bags.

Days passed by and now the week was over. It has become hectic for Ishita and Vandita as they have to look after the design for their apartment along with their professional career, it took almost three weeks to finish everything and everything looked just perfect. Raman even got nameplates done for each of them. Bhallas and Iyers decided to shift there after a week and rent the place. They already had talked and people were ready to take possession. Soon they shifted to their new apartment. Everyone was in awe with the interiors of the house.

It was one fine evening when Ishita was coming back from office. She was crossing the road at signal when it was red light, but a car came and hit Ishita throwing her to the corner of road. Ishita was badly injured, soaked in blood. No one was there to attend her and Raman was trying to call but no one picked it up. He was worried for unknown reasons. Soon the police came and they took Ishita to hospital. The lady constable looked for her belongings and got hold of her phone. Since it had lot of missed calls from Raman, they called back to inform the mishap. It seems as if his feet has been slipped from ground. He composed himself and informed their families, and drove to city hospital to meet his love who is fighting for her life.

Raman reached there and got to know that Ishita is in Operation Theater. He ran towards the OT just to see a glimpse of his love. He peeped through the door to see his love soaked in her blood. He was about to fall when someone held him, he turned around only to find their family standing with a worried look on their faces. After almost 4 hours doctor came out informing that the surgery was successful though the situation is still critical for next 24 hours, we would shift the patient in ICU. Everyone prayed for the next couple of hours till Ishita was conscious. It was almost 24 hours when she got back into her senses. Soon the nurse informed them about Ishita getting conscious. Everyone rushed Inside except Raman. They all showered her with immense love but her eyes was searching for the one who is the only solace for her. Soon everyone left while Raman entered in.

He sat near Ishita was staring at her trying to believe that she is all okay and in front of him. Raman wanted to touch her but was fearing that she might disappear, if it's a dream. Seeing the busted state of Raman, Ishita slowly called him out and Raman hugged her very tightly. He was crying like a baby in her arms while she was trying to cajole him. After almost 10 mins he got hold of his breath and looked at Ishita tenderly kissing her forehead and her injuries. He wasn't able to talk much and Ishita just kept him close to him.

After sometime he was composed and started shouting on her for being careless. He was going on with his complains while Ishita was busy admiring him. She was smiling, when Raman saw her. He again said, Are you stupid, here I am scolding you and you are smiling; foolish girl. Ishita replied that she was loving the care and affection she got, and she can again go through all this to see his care. Raman shouted on top of his voice scaring her but later hugged her, asking a promise to never do that again. He wasn't able to breathe properly. His complete world was doomed because he has always told her MY WORLD SMILE WHEN YOU SMILE.

Soon days passed by and Ishita was discharged from hospital. She was taken to the apartment. It was only four weeks for their marriage now. Everyone was busy in preparation, though they never forgot to pamper the princess. Time flew and in no time the D-Day came. She was looking the most beautiful bride, and Raman the most handsome Groom. Soon they were married and the couple was showered with blessings, and they started their journey together again but now as Mr. and Mrs. Raman Kumar Bhalla.

Love makes you strong, love makes you fight, love makes you scare and love makes you complete.

Mr.Bhalla and Mr.Iyer were childhood friends who studied in the same school but had got separated later on because of their different interests in studies Mr.Bhalla opted for business while Mr.Iyer joined civil services both met after a long time a few months ago and bonded well again Mr.bhalla was deeply impressed by ishita and her good nature so he had immediately asked for ishita's hand for marriage with his son raman who was an irresponsible and immature guy as he knew ishita would change him for good

He had told raman about his intentions too but raman had clearly denied for the marriage making the bhallas go silent and try to convince raman regarding the same but destiny had another plans for them Mr.iyer's death due to a cardiac arrest changed everything ishita became an orphan as her mother had died long ago

Mr.bhalla took ishita's responsibility and brought her home with him and soon ishita had bonded well with all the members of the family toshiji always treated her as her own daughter and mr. Bhalla was no less than a fatherly figure for her making ishita forget her grief but raman always used to stay away from her as he always thought ishita to be some old school traditional woman who was totally not his type and top of that he knew his father and his intentions to get him married to ishita

While ishita who was totally unaware of all this had fallen for raman hard and she had shared the same with toshiji too but as much as toshiji was happy with the same she didn't want ishita to get trapped in a love less marriage as she knew raman would never fall for her so she just kept mum
Days began passing with no progress in ishra relationship she used to do all his works silently without his knowledge as she used to feel happy and contended doing it

Toshiji had shared about ishita's feelings for raman to bhalla ji and as much happy he was he knew his son too who would never accept ishita as his wife so he just occupied the silent track but fate had its own plans the society began to question about ishra staying under the same roof without any kind of relationship he could not take anyone taunting his family, maligning a girl's respect and raman married her but never accepted her as his wife for him she was just his parents DIL whom they loved way too much may be more than their own son

Ishita was the perfect wife any man would have desired for she never tried to force raman for anything she was just happy being with him as his wife though it was only for the world but she was happy that at least she was close to him

Time flew by and now it was months ever since ishra had got married and slowly raman had also developed some feelings for her but still was not sure about what it was and today when he had forgot his tiffin at home, ishita had dropped by at his site to deliver it to him

She saw a cement platform that was about to fall on him and shouted at him to move back from a distance but he was engrossed in a phone call so didn't hear her and before he could understand anything she had pushed him from there taking the large platform on herself

He saw her laying there lifelessly in a pool of blood rushing to her side, he put her head in his lap asking her to get up in vain

He was just crying and screaming endlessly asking her to wake up, talk to him too numb and shocked to understand anything else and call the ambulance or take her to the hospital his staff made him understand that she needs medical care and so he took her to the hospital still keeping her in his embrace close to his heart begging her to wake up and look at him once but nothing worked

She was immediately taken to the ICU while he crushed on the floor the bhallas were informed about the accident by his staff and they entered the hospital only to see their son in such vulnerable condition while their DIL was fighting for her life

FLASHBACK ENDS

"maa please ask her to wake up na I can't see her like this she always listens to you please na maa ask her to wake up... he sobbed in his mother's arms while she tried to calm him down though her own heart was not at peace

"maa main mar jaunga uske bina please maa I love her maa I just can't live without her he mumbled in between his sobs

"na mera bachcha himmat rakh kuch nahi hoga teri ishita ko wo theek ho jayegi

(nothing will happen to her puttar she will be fine)

she kissed his forehead lovingly before he again occupied his place in her arms crying helplessly

The doctor came out from the ICU and raman got up to hear some good news about her

R-how is she now doctor? Wo theek hai na?

(is she ok)

D-I am sorry Mr.Bhalla but she is not in a good state she has lost much blood moreover she is not responding to our treatments like she doesn't want to live anymore and I am afraid if this continues, she might slip into coma and it is possible that we won't be able to save her

Raman got angry hearing him and grabbed his collar

R-what do you mean by that haan you are the doctor and you have to make her fine how can you say that you won't be able to save her being a doctor

He shook him vigorously while Mr.Bhalla controlled raman apologising to the doctor who just nodded his head assuringly and left

Raman slumped at his place as the doctor's words sunk in refusing to even move from his place or eat something and after sometime, he entered the ICU where she was and without mouthing a single word to her, just sat by her side holding her hand looking at her longingly as if she would wake up if he keeps looking at her

It was early in the morning that she slowly opened her eyes and saw him sleeping holding her hand he slept there only tired after all the emotional turmoil of the day in sitting position itself she smiled faintly and slowly ran her hand on his head waking him up from his sleep he was in a bad state his hair messed up eyes blood red as if he had cried for hours and clothes stained in blood

He just kept looking at her without blinking his eyes as if she would again close her eyes if he dares to even blink them she slowly caressed his cheek which broke his trance and he realised it was not a dream and she had actually woken up

R-what do you think of yourself?

He asked her in an angry tone while she crinkled her eyebrows not getting what he was saying

R-I am asking you ishita what do you think of yourself lady bheem, some don or Jhansi ki rani who asked you to push me and take that platform on you

I-raman aap ne kabhi mujhse pyaar kiya ho ya na ho maine hamesha aap se pyaar kiya hai pagalpan aur junoon bahut chote shabd hai jiske aage us had tak pyaar kiya hai aapse aur apni annkhon ke saamne apko kuch kaise hone deti

(you never loved me raman but I have always loved you crazily, insanely and how could I let any bad happen to you?)

R-so you thought push raman do a favour on him and become great jagatmaata ban jaao you you are so selfish ishita you didn't think about me once nahi socha ke mera kya hota agar tumhe kuch ho jaata toh?

I-raman I...

She tried to speak but he shushed her showing his palm

R-not a single word ishita not a word and you dare try to pull up any such stunt ever and I swear I would not think twice before I slap you and knock some sense in you

Tears were streaming down his eyes while he said so and she just nodded her head opening her arms for him and he didn't waste a single second before he took her in a bone crashing hug crying while she was rubbing his back in an attempt to calm him

I-shh raman it's ok I am fine now

R-you are so selfish ishita I just hate you for being so selfish for putting me before you in everything

I-but I love you

She smiled as his reaction to her accident said it all though his words said a different story altogether

R-n I hate you

He said like an angry kid still not leaving her

I-ok you hate me and I will again try something like this and may be this time I will get successful then you will be happy as you will get rid of me

And before she could say any further he smashed his lips on hers he began sucking her lower lip while she was too shocked to respond he bit her lips mercilessly demanding an entry which made her realise what was happening and as she opened her mouth to let out a moan he took the chance and entered in taking all her flavours
Both parted back after their lungs needed some air and before she could say anything he finally mouthed I love you to her

She could not stop her tears hearing those three words from his mouth for her something she was longing to hear from him for long and without much delay she pulled him for a hug mouthing the same to him finally her dream was fulfilled poori hui dua.

THEME 2

ENTRY 4

Life... from love to divorce.

AUTHOR'S NOTE : Inspired from South Indian movie

It was not monsoon season but today it was Raining heavily like all the above forces were either feeling to happy ya too sad with the happenings below,the high court was busy with people with thier respective cases ,amidst of them at one corner a lady was thanking her lawyer for the hard work she put in to get her not onlydivorce but her child custody too,after facing a betrayal by her husband whom she loved,loosing her child to him was not less than a death to her but her lawyer wassuccessful in getting her son's custody.even her husband was not allowed to meet her son once in a while ,allthanks to her husband wicked temper prblms.e even though she lost a relation,she gained her son,that's enough to make her breath.On the other corner a father was showing his gratitude to his lawyer for winning the custody case today he too list a relation but got his daughter all for himself,she was only ray of hope in his otherwise deserted life after knowing how his wife betrayed him.

Unknown to the happenings the two kids aditya and ruhi was seated on a bench enjoying the rain,they both looked at each other before they could continue thier talk which was never ending they were disturbed by someone calling thier names respectively.

ADI

RUHI

both looked at the source of sound on either side.

boy ran and hugged her motherwho was in tears yet she was smiling,and ruhi ran to her father who opened arms for her.both the parents took hold of thier child and walked past eachother without even sparing a glance to eachother r any other person ,why would they,when thier life was in thier arms,smiling,giggling making them forget about the cruel world.but the kids didn't forget to wave thuer hands to eachother bidding bye.

...Few months later...

The ****** society was buzzing with activities ,few where busty in thier jogging,few where busy to go to thier school,officesand clgs,,i n midst of all these Mrs bhalla and iyer were yelling thier lungs out,but none paid attention to them as it was daily normal thing for them,if they didn't fight a day the society people will feel that they were behaving abnormal,s sometym it was either thier respective partners wil end the fight ya the younger generation will do the honours but if by mistake Mr.raman bhalla ya ms.ishitha iyertried to stop them,instead of stopping theywill end up fighting with eachother.

The society people often wonder why these four were always love to fight when Mr.bhalla and iyer were nothing but close frnds and the younger generation ruhi and adi were adorned as cute brother sister.many try to resolve thuer fight but they will find new reasons to yell at eachother like yday ishitha had called the cops as bhallas were creating too much if noise in the name of jagratha,a few days before raman had literally wokeup all the buyers at midnight as ishu had parked her vehicle in his place of parking.

t hey can fight on everything and anything like just now Mrs bhalla was blaming on Mrs iyer that her dog wetted raman shirt on Mrs iyer instructions.they were ranting on eachother when raman and ishu joined them.The sight of eachother made them mad.

Ishu: amma aap kyun iss ravan Kumar seh bath karrahe ho,iss khi dimag kahraab hai chalo app,muje late horahi hai clinic khey liye.

Raman: haan haan maa aap kyun iss khi Moog lagrahi hai dentist khi naam seh insanon khi daanth Tod rahi hai yeh,kahi aap khi bhi naa toh dhey.

Ishu: how dare u to insult my profession.!?

Raman:how dare u to say I am mad?

Ishu:sach sunn kar bura laga.

Raman: pagal hotha toh khudh kah business nahi samhaltha,itni badi contracts nahi milthey muje.

Ishu: khudh khi tarref karthey kabhie takthey nahi ho aap,waise kisse patah contract mile ya churaya!?

Raman: teri JAISE nahi hoon duplicate dentist ,mein sachii business man hoon.And thier rattle begins one on one until they were disturbed by a voice.

Adi: mama jaldi aavo mera school bus aajayenge

Ruhi: papa plz meri choti banadoh bus aajayenge Giving eachother a murderous glance bothwent to attend their kids . as usual both adi and ruhi seated with eachother in the bus to enjoy thier journey.

Days were passing with thier routine but raman noticed ishu was not in herself from two days,she was not answering him back and was turned into mute not that he was disturbed by her.but her caring nature towards ruhi when she was fever with no female around made him knew about her sifter side,she was as caring much to his annoyance,when adi told ruhi was down with fever,knowing he was alone she took no stone unturned in caring ruhi until his mother arrived.

not that he was ignorant to adi,after ruhi he was the best child he met,when ever adi was playing with ruhi hetoo joined them and enjoyed with kids yet he kept his war with ishu.

Raman saw ishu was walking in garden in her thoughts,deciding to know what the matter he too joined her.

Raman: kya bath hai badi khush lag rahi ho!?

Ishu gave a annoyed look but didn't reply.

Raman: arey bolo toh ,bath karne seh khushi dhugni hojayegi ,abh tum itna khush lagrahi ho toda hume bhi khushi doh.

Ishu: raman plz mein ladne khi mood mein nahi hoon.

Ra: toh kya rone khi mood mein ho,tumhe dhek kar LAGRAHA hai abhi rone wali ho.

Ishu:raman plz

Raman: arey batavo toh sahi ,kis bath seh chehra par barah Baja hua hai,mein ho sakhey toh madath karoonga.p akka promise.

Ishu :aap meri madath nahi karsakthey,infact iss prblm kah koi solution hi nahi.

Raman: aisi koi prblm hi nahi,jiskhi solution nahi hai bolo kya hua.

Ishu taking a deep breath: kuch din mein adi khi school mein father's son competition hai,aur adi zid PAKAD hua hai uss koh part lehna hai.

Raman: toh,tumhari husband koh bhuladoh waise bhi itna kya kaam yaar abroad jaakar family bhool gaya

Ishu kept silent,and seeing her raman knew something was there still to come. he waited for her continue and she did.

Ishu: mein single mother hoon raman,2 yrsback mera divorce hogaya but adi koh Maine jhoot bola uss khi papa abroad mein hai.

Raman just assured her to continue ..

Ishu: meri arrange marriage hui thi,mein aur ashok khush they apni choti duniya mein par ashok koh humesha bada admi bannatha,mehnath kah rasta chodkar uss neh kuch aur hi kiya his seh mein kabhie bardash nahi karsakthi,achanak seh woh lakhon khi paise lahne lage,kimthi jewar,bohoth kuch poochne par ,ladne par uss neh finally accept kiya he was physically satisfying his boss nidhi who was married to a aged man,nidhi meri husband koh sexually use karrahi thi aur ashok paison khey liye...

She gulped the lump formed in her throat disgusted about the things her husband did for money,so I demanded for a divorce ashok razi nahi tha uss seh adi chahiye tha,but with proof about his character I gotadi custody ,aur maine poori kohshis khi adi koh kabhie uss admi khi yaad na aaye but seems like today I failed .Saying she broke into sobs.

Ishu: kash aap khi biwi khi tarah,ashok bhi margaya hotha aaj yeh naubath hi nahi sathi.

Raman: meri biwi Mari nahi hai ishitha,i was divorced too ,par ruhi khey liye aur mere liye woh margayi.

Schoked ishu looked at him puzzled.

Raman: shagun koh humesha model bannatha,par uss khi papa neh uss khi shadi kardiya,she was always complaining about life ,even tried to abort ruhi but I wasagainst it,i tried very hard to make her see how beautiful our life is,but all my patiencegaveup when she went to audition leaving one month old ruhi to cry for milk.that day Idecided enough to bare this woman who never cared for others let alone her own child.s he was more than happy to wash hands from ruhi,so divorce and custody was easy for me.the woman who was never there for her child was considered as dead to me and my ruhi.

Ishu: I am sry,aap meri prblm solve karne aaye they,khudh apni past koh yaad karna pada.

Raman: hm,its ok,hiw about I join adi for competition.

Ishu: nahi raman,woh teek nahi hoga.

Raman: dheyko koi ehsaan nahi karrahi hoon,jab ruhi bekaar thi tumne rakka nah uss kah kyal toh abh meri bhari.

Ishu: lehkin...

Raman: meri maano toh,tumhe adi koh batana chahiye apni papa khi bare mein,jitna chupavogi utna uss seh dard hoga.Abhi khey liye prblm was solved but tum sochna,zaroor.saying this raman left taking details about the day.

Unknown to them thier father saw them sharing thier past and present prblms and it didn't take them more tym to express thuer idea about marrying thier children but most difficult task was making thier wife's agree,they did had this idea of thier kids remarry but seeing them fighting until yday they didn't dare to express thuer views but today they saw a ray of hope,without wasting tym they tried to convince thier partners even blackmailed them in name of adi and ruhi so finally wife's had to bow thuer heads infront of thuer husband's wish.

Now as the elders were at ease they decided to talk with raman and ishu but the outcome was what they expected, bothrefused point blank but elders didn't gaveup as usual the emotional black mail in the name of adi and ruhi worked,even Mrs bhalla and iyer said how many more yrs they wilb alive before closing thier eyesthey had to see thier children settled.

So finally raman ishu had to bow before them and even before father's day competition they were married.it didn't took lot of effort from ishu to convince adi as she said his father won't come ever andshe lied to him about him being in abroad,and if adi is ok raman can b his papa.it was more than the little kid could ask for even though he was hurt that his father left him but raman being to b his father washed all his sadness and he accepted raman as his father.ruhi was always find of her ishitha aunty was sooo excited to get her as ishima.ishu life turned a total 360 degree from ishithaiyer to ishitha bhalla

It was not easy to both of them to accept the changes in life but both raman and ishu put thuer whole effort to make the kids happy,so by the end of month ruhi was more of ishu daughter than Raman's and adi was adorned by his hero papa.

Their days passed with kids and both got involved in eachother activities without thier notice,ishu will take care of raman clothes and his much needed things like purse,files,laptop and his handkie,along with kids special madras bf which raman hates to core but for ishu he will have that without any fuss,but noticing Ramans discomfort ishu slowly learning Panjabi food ,on the other hand raman avoided nonveg for ishu,knowing she can't even stand the smell he avoided taking it ,if ishuhad any emergency he will drop and pickup her by strictly asking her to cal him.they both mingled in thier life's with much effort,thier budding bonding was nothide from the elders ,which made Mrs bhalla on cloud 9,mrs bhalla who was in the start apprehensive about ishu was now totally relaxed seeing her dil taking care of her husband and kids,yes her kids none would say ruhi wasn't ishu daughter seeing the bond they developed in short span if tym,and her worry to have a waaris to solved with adi ,yes the bhallas accepted adi with open arms and he was elder grandson to them who will take legacy.

While ruhi was pampered by Mrs iyer to no ends even though there were always readyto show eachother down in every single chance but as a family they were happy.they were blissfully unaware about the prblm about to knock on thier life's.It wasn't rocket science for ishu to know that raman was disturbed from two days,she let him have his space thinking some business trouble but he was still tnsd even after getting a prestigious contract,true thier comfort level was good but they didn't came THAT CLOSE to question eachother about things to share,they were parents to kids but not husband and wife still,ishu was in dilema how to ask raman about the reason for his state ,she was yet to realise why his tnsd state was eating her up!?On the other hand raman decided to talk toishu its high tym he must leave the decision to her.so he decided to break the ice keeping his emotions in check.

Raman: ishitha doh din pehle muje shagun kah phone aaya,she wants to meet me,b it muje samaj nahi aaraha mein kya kahroon.p plzz help me

It took a while to process his words and finally when they made sense something drastically burned in her and tears threatened to fall.she tried to form a sentence bitting her tears back,once againher family was going to break more r less thuer past was always a wall btn them and thier future.

Ishu: aap muje seh kyun... I mean ...mein kaise...mein kya karsakthi hoon iss mein.

Raman: just guide me,she was literally begging for a chance.

Ishu: chance!?

Raman: to meet me,to talk!?It was not Easy for her to reply but she did

Ishu: toh aap koh milna chahiye,bath karnachahiye shayad...

Raman: par uss neh Jo kiya...

Ishu: raman woh past tha,galathi insaan seh hi hothi hai ,,so I guess everyone deserves a chance..so...

Raman: kya sab koh ek chance milna chahiye,chahe woh insaan kitna bhi galath ho...

Ishu only hummed in response ,next raman dropped the original bomb

Raman: ishitha shagun nahi,ashok tujhse bath karna chahtha hai,he desperately wants to meet u,for once.so...

Schoked would an wrong word describe ishu's state,the most hurting was raman asking her to meet ashok,the thought ashok came back was never a prblm,but the mere thought of raman sending her to ashok pinched her heart.

Ishu: aap chahthey ho mein ashok khey paas jaoon.The word ashok from her thought didn't even settled well with raman,here she was questioning him about going to him.

Raman: tumne khudh kaha everyone needs a chance...

Ishu;woh insaan khey liye kaha tha shaitankhey liye nahi,ashok kisi shaitan seh kam nahi

Raman: jab tum muje shagun seh Milne bhejsakthi ho toh ...

Ishu: aage math bolna raman,aap neh muje bathon mein uljaya ,aur apni mathlab khi bath nikaaldhi...bas mein nahi bhej rahiaap koh kisi khey paas,aap khudh bhejraheho muje uss insaan khey paas...

Raman: nahi ,mein bas ..Ishu cut his words: aap chahthey hai mein ashok seh million,teek hai miloongi ,par yeh bhi samaj leejiye iss khey baad hum dohno mein sab kuch badaljaayega kuch bhi pehle jaisa,nahi rahega,...

Raman:nahi ishitha aisi koi bath nahi,tumne khudh kaha agar shagun sathi, tumse poochthi toh ,mujhse milna hai...

Ishu: ji nahi,aap neh bhulvaya mujhse ,areyaaye koi shagun varun meri samne,pooch khey toh dhey khey meri pati seh milna hai,aankhey nikaalne kar uss khi hath meinnaa dhi toh mera naam bhi ishitha bhalla nahi!?She huffed making him schok with her words.

before he could say something she again tangled Ishu: toh kab jaana hai muje ,uss admi sehMilne...

Raman: woh tumhara wait karraha hai *****hotel mein.

Ishu: toh chaliye,dhekthey hai yeh drama bhi.

Raman: mein..mein kaise...kyun tum jaa...

Ishu: sochna bhi math mein karke jaooongi raman,chaliye mere sath...Raman was watching from a distance seeing ishitha talking with ashok,most of ashok talking and ishitha glaring at him,at one point raman was tempted to rip ashok hand from his body seeing him place his hand on ishu 's hand which was lying on table,he thought after shagun he can't share his heart to anyone but now at this point of life,it was clear his heart and life was in ishus control,she not only won his heart in few days but a life without her wasunimaginable to raman,all he want to do is take her back home but he kept himself sane reasoning its just a talk,but his patience and reasoning broke when ishu got up from table and ashok held her shoulders more of threatening her than stopping,thats it he took long strides to punch him hard but ishitha slap stopped him few steps before them,he knotted his brows looked at ishitha she was boiling in rage and then at ashok who was signallingsome one,he was confused whom that lady was but his thoughts were broken by ishu voice.

Ishu: don't u dare to even look at my son,i have court orders ,don't u dare!!After giving him a disgusting look,she was about to move but seeing raman she stopped for few seconds but walked past him.confused raman looked at ashok who was smiling at the same woman ,showing him thumps up sign.his instincts told something was drastically wrong but he decided to confront ishitha first.

He found her waiting besides thier car,he wants to know why ashok called her but ishitha kept her silence,she asked him to drive but he didn't budge and was adamant to know so finally she blasted him.

Ishu: uss insaan khi patni maa nahi bansakthi,iss liye uss seh adi chahiye apnivirasat koh samhalne,,uss khi himath kaisehui meri bache,khi sauda karne...

Raman: sauda!?

Ishu: haan agar mein usse adi dhoongi tohmuje paise dheyga,abh nidhi seh shadi Jo kiya,uss khi pathi khi mauth khey baadh,par bachey nahi hai toh yaad aagayiapni khudh khi bete khi,,meri bete khi sauda karne aaya ...uss khi toh mein..

Raman: humara

Ishu: kya!?

Raman: humara betaIshu: ji nahi,mera beta aap kah koi Barosa nahi hai,aaj ashok aaya kal shagun aayi toh phir aap kahenge,kya mein shagun sehmiloon!? Mujhse nahi hoga yeh rooz kah natak,iss liye mein jaa rahi hoon apne ghar.aur haan ruhi bhi mere sath rahegi abh seh.

Raman: tum pagal ho gayi ho yaar,mein kyun jaoonga shagun koh Milne...aur mein kaise rahoonga tumhari bina

Ishu: yeh muje yeha paane seh pehle sochna tha..aur abh humIshu was about to retort when raman phone cried aloud seeing the number he attended it,only to get schok of his life,watching his pale face ishu asked him what happened only the thing uttered scared her to death.

Raman: bachey ghar par nahi hai,poori society mein kahi mil nahi rahe!?Ishu asked him to drive home fast but raman was stopped suddenly with the image of ashok smiling.seeing raman immersed in thoughts ishu shaked him few tyms to get his attention,s he gesturedhim to drive .

Raman: muje lagtha hai Hume ashok koh follow karne chahiye...Hearing again ashok name was pouring ghee in fire,seeing her red face he knew she would listen until he explains why and what,so he cleared what he saw there ,so both decided to follow him,with much efforts they found his room number and before entering they heared voices from slightly opened door.

Ashok: tum pagal ho kya nidhi,sirf adi koh lana tha,iss bachi koh kyun laayi!?

Nidhi: ashok dheyko kitna cute bachi hai,humara poori family banjayega,tum mein,h humara beta,beti cute family naa.

Ashok: adi mera khoon hai,mera hua but yeh ladki koun hai,h um aise kaise...

Nidhi: shhh adi tumhara beta hai,yeh bachi ruhi tumhari patni khi beti hai ...aur abh seh humariThey kept on arguing but ground slipped from ishitha and raman feet knowing thuerkids r in danger,without wasting a second raman called his friend abhishek who was acp and explained the situation.acp assured him to reach soon and asked them to keep a eye on ashok but not to make aware of thier presence,it may lead things to difficult.

Raman and ishitha were waiting impatiently but hearing next words from nidhi made ishu to Strom in room.

Nidhi: ashok dheyko iss ladki koh hosh aaraha hai,i will inject her .

Nidhi was stopped by ishu,who was enraged seeing her going to inject ruhi,sheslapped nidhi hard few tyms making her miss her balance,it took few minutes for ashok to know what exactly happened ,he was about to hold ishu when he too received a strong punch from raman.

ashok tried his level best to fight back but raman didn't give a chance to recover,h e kept blocking his punches and gifted him few more.On other side kids wokeup with chaos and was terrified to see thier parents slapping and kicking some one.ishitha saw them and quickly took them in her embrace to console them,and it had enough tym for nidhi to get her pistol from drawer.She pointed at raman who was beating ashok while he lay half dead on ground,

Nidhi: stop,i will shoot.

Nidhi scream did draw attention of ishu and kids but raman was still beating ashokto his hearts content ,the man who not only dared to hold ishu hand even laid his dirty hands on thier kids,he was blaming himself for bringing ishitha here and putting kids through this ordeal,he just wanted to kill ashok and didn't paud attention to the surroundings.

But the noise of firing caught his attention not once but twice,he turned only to find ishitha was standing showing her back to him,but she was slowly crumbling and nidhi hand was bleeding.He again looked at ishitha and saw she was bleeding from shoulder,he took him few moments to understand that nidhi wasabout to shoot him,but ishitha took that bullet and sametym nidhi was shot by abhishek who was there,seeing her pointed pistol he fired at her.

Raman was pacing before OT where ishu was getting treated,he seemed worn-out as it took all his energy to console much terrified kids about their mother condition. He called his parents along with ishu parents and narrated what happened with them.even though they were angry on him and gave their piece of mind but noticing his condition they composed themselves and attended kids who was still asking for their mother,after sometym doctor came announcing ishu was safe just needed rest,asking them to wait until they shift herto room.Kids were calm after seeing their mother sleeping how ever they want to talk with her,but Raman consoled them saying they can meet her tmrw and with much pressure he sent them with elders who were not ready to leave.but atlast they left asking Raman to look after ishu and Cal them if needed anything.Ishu slowly opened her eyes and it took her a minute to understand where she was,and with that whole day events played before her eyes making her shudder.

She was still lost in thinking what woukd have happened to raman,if she didnt came btn,the thing that bullet would have hit him scared her to death,Her moment made Raman to wake and he was delighted to see her awake ,he took her hand in his to make himself believe she was fine.he was about to Cal doctor but ishu stopped him asking .

Ishu: bachey!?

Ram: safe hai,both mushkil seh ghar Gaye hai.

Ishu: ashok?

RM: ashok aur USS khi biwi dohno jail mein hai,tnsn khi koi bath nahi sab teek hai.abh bas tum teek hojavo hum jaldi gharjayenge ...

Ishu: hum!?mathlab

Ram: mathlab kya hum yaani,tym aur mein,goli shoulder par lagi hai naa,dimag par asar horaha hai kya!? Azeeb sawal pooch RAHI ho!?.

Ishu: meri dimag teek hai,lehkin kagtha haiaapka nahi,yaad hai Maine kaha aoni bachon khey sath rahoongi apne ghar,yaad aaya!?

Ram: ishitha yaar abh tum pechli bath koh kyun laarahi ho,ho beethgaya USS koh kyun phir seh beech mein laarahi ho,abh sab teek hai naa

Ishu: mein ,mein beech mein laarahi hoon,aapne laya meri kal koh mere samne aur kya kaha sab teek hai abh,kya teek hai,aaj ashok aaya aap neh bhejdiya muje,kal aap khi shagun aayegi toh bhi aapmuje hi bheyjenge Raman,aap kah koi Barosa nahi!!?

Ram:shagun!? Woh kaha seh aayi,aur meintumhe kyun bheyjoonga,yaar sach mein tumhare dimag karab hogaya hai,tum rest kahro mein doctor koh bulatha hoon,azeebbathey karne lagi ho tum..

Ishu: nahi Raman,muje nahi hoga ,jaise aajashok aaya hai aap khey pas,kal shagun aayi toh!? Mera kya hoga,mein kahi kah nahi rahoongi ,mein...

Ram: ishhh,,,ishitha aisa kuch nahi hoga,plz trust me.

But she just turned her face another side unable to keep check on her emotions,she was not sure what she was feeling towards Raman,and why the thought of going far from him bothered her.

On other side Raman desperately tried to console her,he needed her to trust him always like he will with her,there for her, he couldn't afford even the thought of loosing her,yet he lived that moment few hours before just to understand she holds very imp place in his life,ya it won't b wrong to even say she became his life slowly and the moment he saw her in pool of blood his life stopped for a brief moment.

but he don't want to rush things,first step he wants to make her trust him.he slowly made her look at him,looking straight in her eyes he said.

Ram: mein nahi jaantha pyar kya hai ishitha,Jo shagun khey sath mera Jo bhi tha,woh pyar nahi hosaktha,agar hotha woh muje chod khey nahi jaathi, muje pyar koh jaanna hai,pyar karna hai,kya tum mujemeri mohabbat khi Safar mein sath dohgi...kya barosa karpavogi mujh par!?

Too overwhelmed with his words she just nodded accepting to b with him ,it's not she didn't trust him,just her insecurities made her talk like that,but hearing she wasthe only one whom he can associate love word made all her insecurities vanish.

Raman slipped beside her kissing her forehead silently promising to b with her till his last breath.

Everything happens for good ashok re-entry in their life made them realise theirfeelings towards each other,even Adi and ruhi were out of trauma seeing their parents love for them.thuer life too filled with ups and downs but they overcame every hurdle only to become each other strength.

ENTRY 5

I Am Gonna Love You

He tried to keep himself standing by leaning on the hospital wall but it was impossible, He hadn't taken anything almost in the last 12 hours no food no drink no water. His eyes were blood shot red deprive of sleep, anxiety due to tension and tiredness making it worse. He sat down in a chair covering his face with palms keeping his elbows on his thigh for support. He forgot for how long he sat there.. When he opened his eyes it was dark everywhere. There was no trace of his family, no doctors or nurses. He stood up & noticed light among the darkness coming from a room in a corner. He started to walk fast towards the room with a hope & took forever to reach near the room. He peaked into the room. There she was, in a white gown with a small stitch on head leaning backwardly on the hospital bed in a half sleeping/seating position. She smiled and said in a soft tone, "I am leaving raman.." there was a grimace on her face. He walked near her being confused, "this is what you wanted."

"I would never comeback." she whispered. The next moment he hugged her tight and blabbered, "no I didn't wanted that I swear.." and started crying severely. He realised he never cried like this before. She hugged him back and caressed the back of his head which rested on her bosom, "It's too late Raman." After that she won't say anymore. Her hands won't move anymore. He won't hear her heart beat anymore ... He hugged her more tightly and shouted his lungs out, "Ishita..."

Flashback

It was a summer evening when Raman Kumar Bhalla and Ishita Iyer met for the 1st time in a coffee shop. She came with her sister mihika to meet Mihika's boyfriend & Raman Bhalla to meet his best friend Mihir's girlfriend.. They checked out each other secretly.

Adjusted her dupatta, tried to tuck that lone strand that disturbed her while she checked the rashes of his niece 3month old annanya and questioned simmi. Their eyes met for a brief second as he imagined throwing that dupatta away pulling her close kissing those soft lips however long he want.. At the exact moment she lowered her gaze, to him it looked like an approval.. This was their second meeting at her clinic, she worked as an assistant doctor under a senior paediatrician.

He avoided meeting of eyes or any accidental touch. She informed him that she was here to check her friend's baby that has fever, he nodded. Suddenly the elevator stopped since the electricity went away. He closed his eyes and tried to suppress his libido as she innocently tried to stay close being scared of the dark.

Pinned her to the cold elevator wall, captured her lips, tasted nibbled kissed again and again every area in between her lips to neck to earlobe, expert hands roamed over her body to explore, his stubble moved along her chicks/neck making a sound, she moaned erotically, unable to match him she mellowed into his arms weakly almost falling.

His hand warped around her waist, hers around his neck moving through his gelled hair messing it, her dupatta vanity laid on floor, curls out of clutch, misplaced bindi, one side shoulder uncovered revealing inner, his first 2 buttons undone. This was how they found each other when the elevator started suddenly after seven minute. At the ground floor an old lady noticed them. "Your wife is beautiful." she complimented about her to him.

That's it. No talk No number exchange No sorry No explanation. She cooked a story in her mind to convince herself that she had fallen into his clever ruse, agreed for marriage instead of shrugging the matter off like other times. He came to know about this from Mihir at Rinki's birthday party.

She would find him waiting for her in parking area of her clinic. She left him speechless by ranting in a chocking voice all her heart out making him a deceiver and herself a victim and walked away saying, "hope I won't even see you at mihir Mihika's wedding."

The next day evening upon seeing him again she asked unbelievable, "You are desperate to spend a night with me, no?"

"No !!! I-m desperate to spend my every night with you." he cleverly proposed and this one sentence almost mollified her. "you are rejected." she shrieked at his clever reply. He gave her a -go ahead and reject- and challenged replying, "I promise you won't see me at mihir and Mihika's wedding." and his words were so powerful that she ended up marrying him within a month.

Her parents were lecturers. His dad, an architect mom, owner of a NGO. They all happily agreed for the marriage. Wedding, reception every function was a grand celebration.
After a 7 days of marriage he came back from his 2 day trip only to find out that she was very upset as his aunt taunted her regarding his trip. she was all ready for a fight when he came upstairs with her dinner. she first gobbled up everything almost sobbing all the time in between sniffling ,chocking, smearing tears all over her face making it wet. He watched in awe as he could remember yesterday she ate and behaved like a normal person in the dining. The help came to take the plates and gave them a strange look like, "umm are you guys really a newly married couple??" she got up blabbered and wherever she could in that process hurting her left knee 2 times at the same spot. He got up to check on her, "all this is because of you- you married me only to take your revenge.. now once you get my body you are going to leave.."

This time he seriously moved towards her she shirked like a lion, threw whatever she could throw at him, he pulled her leg, forcefully kissed her to stop. She screamed, protested by hitting him with her fist. Slowly her protests faded, screams turned into pleasurable moans, nails dug into his skin and never mind she surrendered herself to him for the 1st time fully -he devoured every inch of her skin, drank all her tears squelching. At the end he pulled her close to his body, she snuggled on to his chest with eyes closed not wanting to see his expression as he covered the sheets over them- it became a routine she ate her dinner .. he didn't left her more than few hours for rest of the 1st month that she took off from her job due to marriage.

Steadily he started winning her trust- during shopping while she thought everyone left her she found him waiting for her.. he took care of her every little need. he figured she might be a partly docile Dil ,Sil,sister but she was a crazy wife-. She was more reckless, wild around him, throwing a fit, demanding, expecting him to take care of everything. He let her be like that. She acknowledged that he was a practical person who didn-t believed in cheesy stuffs.

No roses, no romantic talk, no candles, no I love you, yet he was able to made her feel loved..

He didn't waited for any occasion, went ahead and brought a new car along with a driver, she didn't wanted to sell her old one, he let it be
Right after mihir and mihika-s marriage she discovered her pregnancy which she didn-t wanted to continue. He was adamant that he wanted the baby, she continued the pregnancy only for him, once her nausea was over she enjoyed every bit of the pregnancy, he pampered her as much he could.

Finally on a Monday morning Ruhi was born.the whole family was overjoyed to have a daughter.. ruhi proved to be extremely lucky for her father when he won CEO of the year award just after a month.. she took maternity live for 3 months -she could see her career going down with each passing day of her marriage.. she had taken off for wedding,then for two honeymoon trips, then again for last month of her pregnancy and now for ruhi.. he tried to hard to spent time with his two girls but it was just too hard with his responsibilities. She started taking this as an offence when she could see mihika fully concentrated on her carrier with mihir-s support-here she almost stopped attending any get together & outing with friends, there was a baby sitter but it-s just too hard for her to leave her daughter alone again after working hours and go -.everyone loved ruhi but all were too busy to sit with the kid for 3 hours- he was miffed and the sore point was why couldn-t she just took 6 months off as ruhi needed. The first day ruhi cried continuously as she wanted to be fed by her mom-. He stopped interacting with her with an attitude YOU DON-T CARE FOR MY 3 MONTH INFANT SO DON-T EXPECT ANYTHING-. she still managed , chatted animatedly with her daughter at night-. He came late and played with his daughter without disturbing her but it ticked her off... she weep many nights pretending to sleep feeling..

But everything became worse when she left her to attend a friend-s birthday daughter her daughter with the baby sitter (a young girl) for 3 hours after a lot of hesitation.. when he came back early only to find his daughter crying after trying to suck on a pin.. that young girl have no idea how to pacify the kid -she came back
They argued for almost 45 min when she blurted - I am the one who has to sacrifice for you and your daughter - -fine you don-t have to anymore-from now onwards I would manage for both of us- she fall on the ground in despair realising her mistake- it didn-t ended here it lead to create a world war 3 in between his parents and him. They defended their DIL reasoning everyday she gave more than 18 hours to her daughter so their was no way they can allow him to keep ruhi away from her- he just went away at the night 1 a.m. she heard from rinki her FIL ordered to go away..

Sepration was more vulnerable -he checked on his daughter in video chat with Rinki.. Didn-t replied any of her message-after 3 weeks she was full of remorse- she went to his office 2 times- to say sorry but couldn-t meet him- well he spent his many nights in office or at his Mumbai flat- travelled from here to there to distract himself..for no reason started berating on poor employees -he waited his father to call back..he wanted her to persuade his dad and call him back..

Media intervened into it by linking him up with some famous model exaggerating the separation leading to divorce-.he didn-t care but he knew that his wife-s hyperactive mind was going to react in a goofy way- she was sent the link from an unknown number- she sent a message -you want a divorce ??- went in her old car for work.. for a second she was absent minded and the next second the car crashed, and she was badly trapped as the door didn-t open..

Somehow she was rescued by few brave people, her breathing almost stopped , lost blood and fractured her elbow..

He rushed to the hospital -his head hurt very badly He sat down in a chair covering his face with palms keeping his elbows on his thigh for support and lost his consciousness due to weakness..

When he woke up in a bed he desperately wanted to know about her -he was told she was out of danger- he reassured himself that it was just a bad dream.

He went home after almost 4 week...rinki told ruhi was out of control, he put his daughter to sleep by soothing- found her I-pod played the most played song.

The song sounded more meaningful than ever, salty waters formed in his eyes.

He determined himself- stayed by her side every time in hospital, took care of her food medicines evrything, she felt awkward with the silence but he didn-t care.. he politely denied her father-s request to take her with them after discharge indicating there was no plan of divorce..

When she came back home and her daughter-s happiness was ineffable-
At the midnight when she woke he rested by her side - can you promise me to never ever to pull such stunts- he said directly looking into her eyes -then will you love me back again- she shot back in a soft voice.

He pulled her close and confessed -no matter where I am , alive or not I always love you I am going to love you till my last breath - she hugged him as an reply and caressed his back-
He kept his head on her bosom and listened to her heartbeat and reassured himself again that was just a bad dream.

Her song played in the background as they started making out after ages
Song.

I found myself dreaming in silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie that every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared I was alone
I woke up in tears
You by my side
Breath of relief and I realized
No we didn-t promise tomorrow
So I-m gonna love you
Like I-m gonna lose you
I-m gonna hold you like I am saying good byeee
Wherever we standing iwon-t take you for granted
Cause we never know when we-ll run out of time So I-m gonna love you
Like I-m gonna lose you
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
So I-ll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I-ll make most of the minutes love with no regret
Let-s take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it-s all gone cause No we didn-t promise tomorrow
So I-m gonna love you
Like I-m gonna lose you
I-m gonna hold you like I am saying good byeee
Wherever we standing iwon-t take you for granted
Cause we never know when we-ll run out of time So I-m gonna love you
Like I-m gonna lose you

ENTRY 6

Stolen Moment

"I love you Raman."

"I love you too Ishita."

This is a moment when we forget everything when we wants to stop the time. Just wants to get lost in his eyes, we start to make new dreams on our eyelids - to see our future. This is a moment we forget myself to get lost in his eyes. This is a moment when we do live thousands life as if death to come across in the next moment then we do not have any sadness over our life - and this happened with Raman and Ishita.

It had been more than two years when Raman was working in Iyer company as a employee and Ishita often visited the office and there they met for the first time. Though their meeting wasn't goes so well as they started with fighting. But it says, the beginning of each love story is from fight, and in their case its nothing less. Ishita was money minded girl who believed anything she could buy with money but Raman - who knew the importance of money as he struggled to achieve such heights of success. But behind this soft and rough person they had a heart which never listened to them and with their unknown they fall in love but Raman - being the self respected person he tried to keep himself away as he knew he couldn't give her the comfort which she used to... But the end he also lost upon his heart and they confessed their feelings but Raman decided until he get some success, they won't disclose their relationship and that happened and finally the day arrived when he promoted as CEO and they decided to go further. According to it Raman went to Iyer house for Ishita's hand but there Mr Iyer insulted him badly. Raman is orphan and Mr Iyer never allowed him to become their family member and Raman has not so rich person which matters more for him. After getting so much insulted, Raman walked out from their place when his hand entangled with someone - he turned and saw his lady love standing beside him, "I promised you, from today you won't be alone then how could I break my promise? Let's go.. We will make our small world together."

"Ishita.. I..."

"Sshhh.. Lets get married Raman. I don't need anything except you." and she threw herself on him for a bone crunch hug.

----

"So, Mrs Raman Kumar Bhalla.. Are you ready to see your new house?" Raman asked standing at the door way, she excitedly nodded. Raman pushed the door and Ishita was delighted seeing the apartment. She was going to step in but Raman said, "Stop.. Stop..!"

"What?" She asked confuse.

"Wait here.. I am coming." saying this Raman quickly rushed in, Ishita waited for him when she saw him coming with aarthi thal.

"Raman?" Her eyes filled with tears.

"Well.. All this mother-in-law does but thus I have no one so I am doing it." He did her aarthi and put the rice pot on floor, Ishita walked in but Raman said, "Wait..!" and he scooped her in his arms.

"Raman? What are you doing?"

"Jaan.. I want to keep you close to my heart always." Tears rolled down from her eyes as she could feel his unspoken promises.

Raman walked in and landed her on floor, Ishita was admiring the house whereas Raman kept staring at her when suddenly Ishita said, "Raman its so beautiful.. But..! Isn't so expensive?"

"Not so expensive in front of your beautiful smile." He said cupping her face.

"Raman?"

"I took loan from bank."

That made her furious, "What? Why? Raman.. You resigned from our company and now you took loan? Why did this? I could manage in your previous apartment. No Raman.. You did wrong."

"Ishita..! Listen.." He made her face him, "I know you could manage but I don't want you to get trouble in that small house. See.. I always want to keep you happy."

"But Raman?"

"Sshh.. We will manage together. Right? And tomorrow I have an interview, hopefully I will get some job. So, don't worry and keep smiling always." He said wiping the water drop from her eyelids, "Now give me a hug."

After that, they both saw the apartment, Ishita walked in one bed room when Raman came and back hugged her, "Do you know who's bed room is this?" She shook her head in no..!

"Our babies." He whispered in her ears making her blush.

"Babies??!"

"Yes. I want a boy like me handsome, dashing and a beautiful girl like you." He said making her blush hard.

"Okay.. We will see.. But Raman.. Don't you think this room is small for them? We should give our room to them." Ishita said looking at the room.

"Okay.. Once they will come, we will exchange. Till now lets make our own memories there." saying this he scooped her in his arms and led to their room.

Raman made her lay on the bed and came on top of her, he kissed on her forehead and then on eyes, Ishita wrapped her arms around him, Raman captured her lips gently and soon the kiss turned into passionate one, they explored each other and soon they drown in the pool of love making, the room filled with moans and groans.

Around 6pm, Ishita opened her eyes and saw him sleeping peacefully, she ruffled his hair and kissed on his forehead. "I love you Raman."

"... And I love you too Madrasan." Raman opened his eyes and smiled.

"I thought you are sleeping."

"If I would sleep then I would miss the moment when my beautiful wife was admiring me." Hearing this, she blushed.

"Okay now get up.. I will make some dinner." Ishita said while getting up.

"But we don't have any grocery jaan.." Raman said when it strike on her mind too, she turned at him, "Then?"

"Let's go for dinner. Today we got married, we should celebrate."

"Okay..!" She smiled and went to change.

****

Ishita wiped a slight food from corner of his lips, "Thank you."

"The food was yummy. Isn't Raman?"

"Yeah.. You know I used to come here with my.." but he stopped, his expressions changed suddenly.

"Raman?"

"I am fine. Lets go."

They were walking on the busy street of Mumbai hand in hand, the walk was silent, Ishita looked at Raman, she could feel he was hurt by something. "Raman?"

"Hmm?" He hummed.

"What happened with your family?" She asked.

"Ishita.. I don't want to talk about my family. Please don't ask anything about them again. From now you are my only family." He said kissing on her knuckle.

"Okay Raman I will not ask you but whenever you feel you can share with me." She said wiping the shed of tears from his eyelids.

****

Raman turned at Ishita's side and saw her sleeping peacefully but sleep was far away from his eyes, he walked to the window side to breath some fresh air. After a while later Raman heard Ishita calling his name and he turned at the bed and saw her sitting there confused. He walked to her saying, "I couldn't sleep Ishita."

Ishita didn't say anything but opened her arms saying, "Come..!"

Raman crawled to her and rested his head on her lap, she gently caressed his head, suddenly Raman turned at her and hugged her wrapping his arm around her stomach, she could hear his silent sobs.

"Raman..! Sshhh.. Calm down..!" She patted his back to console him.

"Ishita.. I am not orphan.. I have a family, I have my parents, one brother." He said crying. Ishita didn't ask anything but just heard him, "I am elder son of my parents, after three years of my birth Romi born. I and Romi were like friends, we used to play together, eat together. We had done everything together but after a certain of times, things started to change. Romi started to hate me - he most of the time spend with maa papa, I started to neglect by them but I never mind it as whenever maa got time, she used to spend with me. Times passed, Romi's hatred, his insecurity went over to the limit, he didn't let any chance to made me culprit in front of our parents, one day he stole 10,000 from papa's room and kept it in my bag and when papa found it he beat me with the whip but I didn't say anything to them Ishita just because I love my brother, I wanted to win his heart again but I was failed. One day, I, Romi and few of our cousins were playing on the terrace - that time papa recently made our new house so there was no boundaries on the terrace and Romi.. He tried to push me but at the neck of time I moved and Romi's feet slipped.. He.. He was hanging but I held his hand and called papa, he pulled him up but then also the blame was on me.. Papa thought if I would stay with them, Romi's life would be in danger and he send me to the boarding school next day itself. He never visited me, sometimes maa used to visited me there. I never visited home during summer vacations or any kind of holidays, I was there alone and slowly I used with the situation then after finishing schooling, I came back and exactly two days I spend with my family and again papa send me USA for higher studies, after coming back I decided not to go there as everyone got sad once I was around them, I started to live with my friend then one day I got opportunity to work in Iyer company, I accepted. It wasn't that my papa was not rich but I didn't want to join our own company, so I worked there, I lied to your father that I am orphan but somehow it was true because I hardly visited them once in year. Then you came in my life, I informed it to maa first, she was so happy that finally her son get someone who love him but papa didn't accept it as you are not Punjabi that day I asked me to choose anyone - you or my family."

".. And you choose me over them? You love me so much Raman?" She asked crying.

Raman shook his head in no saying, "Because of your love. You know I always craved for the love and I finally got it from you. I had my selfish motive to choose you over them. Please love me this much Ishita that no one ever did to anyone."

Ishita wiped his tears and said, "I loved you, loves you and will always love you like this. My love for you will never lessen up in any situation and I promise you that." and she kissed on his forehead.

****

Next day, Ishita opened her eyes and saw her beloved husband was sleeping, he was looking so cute. Ishita couldn't resist but kissed on his forehead making him stir in sleep. She looked at the clock and called him, "Raman wake up.. You have an interview. Get up fast, else you will get late."

"Hmm.. Two minutes."

"No two minutes, three minutes.. Get up right now." She sternly said pulling the blanket. Raman sighed and got up.

***

"Raman.. Raman wait..!" Ishita rushed to him at the door way.

"Now what?"

"Have it." She said showing him a pinch of sugar.

"Sugar? Why?"

"Amma says, before starting a good work, we should have something sweet."

"Really? But according to me, my sweet is something else." He said pulling her by waist.

"No. First you have it." Ishita fed him the sugar then Raman said, "Now can I get mine?" saying this he captured his lips with hers.

****

Ishita was preparing the dinner when the door bell rang, she went to open the door. As soon as Ishita opened the door, Raman scooped her in his arms and twirled. "Raman what happened?"

"Guess what Madrasan..!"

"You got the job?"

"Yes but not as employee but as CEO."

"Really?" Raman nodded and dropped her on floor, "They impressed seeing my experience so they directly give me the position." Raman took sit on the sofa and took a deep breath, "Now, I hope we don't need to face any financial problem."

"Yes Raman.. I am so happy for you." She hugged him happily.

Time passed like a flow, they were happy in their lives. Six months passed like a flow. It was their six months anniversary, today Raman came back home early than regular, Ishita organised a candle light dinner in house itself, she made his every favourite dishes and they were enjoying the moment when Ishita asked, "Raman can I ask you something?"

"Yes jaan.. You don't need to ask for anything. Go ahead."

"What about babies?" She asked.

"Yes.. I like them." He replied casually.

"Even I know that." She said annoyed as Raman didn't get the point.

"Then?"

"I am asking about our baby." She replied looking into his eyes when Raman looked at her shock, he didn't say anything, Ishita looked down.

"Do you want baby Ishita?" He asked huskily.

"Raman.. I..!" She stammered.

"Yes or no Ishita."

"Yes." She said looking down, "But it's okay if you.." but she paused as she heard him, "Have you gone crazy?"

"I am.." tears rolled out from her eyes and seeing her in tears Raman cupped her face asking, "Hey why are you crying jaan?"

"I asked you something which you don't want now."

Raman sighed, ".. And who told you this? You are crazy because you are telling me now.. All these months I thought you were not ready to take such responsibility, so I never told you for this."

"It means you are ready?" She asked as happy tears rolled down.

"Of course I am.. You know I already many things for our kids." Ishita cried hearing this, "I am sorry, I made you cry." He said and sucked the tear droplets from her cheek.

That night, their love making was different from other days, today they have crossed every boundaries and became one.

Another month passed, on a such day Ishita was sleeping at night when suddenly she felt nauseous, she ran to washroom and vomited until she felt relief and she washed her face and looked at the mirror - it was one of the symptom of pregnancy. Her face beamed with happiness. She walked out from washroom and saw Raman awake, "What happened?" He asked worried. Ishita didn't say anything just hugged him - Raman has sharp brain to understand, he pull her back asking, "Is it true.. What am I thinking?"

"May be but I am not sure." She said blushing.

"We should consult a doctor first.. Wait.. Let me fix an appointment." He was about to call but she stopped saying, "Raman.. Its 2am at night.. We will do it later.. I am not sure yet.. This month bleeding hasn't happen yet. Wait few days.."

"Okay.. But you please take care of yourself." He said placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

Few days passed, sometimes Ishita felt severe pain on her stomach but she neglate it thinking it may happen. She even didn't tell Raman anything, days passed.. On a such day Ishita was alone it house as Raman went to office, suddenly Ishita saw some blood strain on her cloth, she rushed to washroom and saw blood.. She broke into tears thinking she wasn't pregnant, she wash herself and came out and the rest of the day she cried. In the evening, Raman came back home, he got in using the door keys as Ishita didn't open the door, he worriedly walked in and saw her crying, Raman ran to her and hugged her.

"What happened jaan? Why are you crying?"

"Raman.. I am not pregnant." She cried. Raman also felt bad as they both started to dream their future days with kids.

"Ssshh.. Stop crying. So what you are not pregnant.. We will try again." Raman said cupping her face.

"I am sorry Raman.." She hugged him.

From the next day they started to live normal though Ishita pretend to be happy but Raman could read her eyes - he too was helpless. Another month passed away, on such day Raman arranged a dinner to spend time with her, to cheer her up and the very next day, Ishita was preparing breakfast when suddenly she felt pain in her stomach, "Raman..!" She called him crying.

Soon they reached hospital, doctor examined her and came to her cabin where Raman was waiting restlessly, seeing the doctor Raman rushed to her, "Doctor.. Ishita? How's she? What happened?"

"Mr Bhalla.. First you have a sit please." She calmly said.

"Mr Bhalla.. Ishita might come anytime, can you meet me after dropping her home safely?" The doctor asked, Raman worriedly looked at her, "Is anything serious doctor? What happened to her?"

"Mr Bhalla.." just then Ishita walked in so doctor, "Don't worry.. Everything is fine.. Its just food poison.. She will be fine. I prescribing her some medicines."

Raman didn't ask further, he left with Ishita and dropped her home safely. "Jaan I have an important meeting. I will come after an hour. You take care. Okay?" She shook her head and he kissed on her forehead before leaving.

****

Raman walked in doctor's cabin, doctor greeted, "Have a sit."

"What happened with Ishita doctor?" Raman directly asked.

"Mr Bhalla.. I don't know whether I am sure or not.. But..!"

"But what doctor? Please don't hide anything from me."

"I think Mrs Bhalla is suffering from leukemia."

Hearing this floor slipped under his feet, "You are joking. This can't happen."

"I understand Mr Bhalla its not easy for you to believe."

"You are talking about my wife, damn it.." Raman banged his fist on the table.

"Mr Bhalla.. Its not time to get hyper. See..! I send her blood for tests, once I get it, I will be sure whether I am right or wrong. Wait.. Let me check is the test done or not." saying this she called someone and after a while later the nurse walked in the cabin with the report on her hand. The doctor checked it and looked at Raman who was waiting impatiently. "It's leukemia."

Raman broke into tears, "Ishita? Doctor.. Please do something. I am ready to take her anywhere, please don't let anything happen with my wife." Raman begged.

"Mr Bhalla.. Its too late."

Raman looked at her shocked, "What do you its too late. You are a doctor damn it. How can you give up so easily?"

"It's her last stage, she hardly has two months."

"NO..! You are lying. I will take her to the best doctor, my Ishita can't leave me like this. No.. I won't let it happen. NO..!" Raman said loosing all his control on himself.

"No doctor can do anything. I am suggesting one cancer specialist. Visit him.. And I am sorry." She handed him a card, Raman didn't say anything and took leave.

He was on his way to the clinic to visit the doctor when he saw Ishita calling, her smiling face flashed on the screen, Raman's eyes filled with tears, he parked the car aside and cried vigorously. He saw she was calling him constantly, Raman wiped her tears and received the call.

"Raman? Where are you? I am getting bore alone."

Raman pressed his lips to control his emotions, "Yes jaan.. I am on meeting. I will come after a while."

"Please come soon."

"Hmm..!" He hang up the call and cried.

*****

"It's too late Mr Raman. If we start her chemotherapy from next week, then may be she can live another month but not more than that."

Raman broke into tears. "Mr Raman, you have to be strong."

"How will I say her? She is dreaming about our future life, how can I say her that she has less time." Raman cried.

"You have to do it Mr Raman.. Before we start her chemotherapy, she need to know about her health issues because during the phase she may see changes in her body."

"I need some time doctor, please." Raman said.

"Sure..!" Raman took leave from there, he drive to the beach side. Raman walked on the sand recalling their marriage, their life which they spend together and now the news, he broke on his knees crying vigorously. Another one hour passed and he didn't move from his place, he has no strength to face her - what he will say to her..! He can't say this and she is not so strong to accept it. Raman was in dilemma when his phone rang, seeing her call, he received.

"Raman? Is everything fine with you?" She directly asked making him scare.

"Yes.. Whats wrong?"

"No. You didn't call me since morning and its around 8pm and you didn't come back. You never done it before so I thought.."

"No jaan. I am coming." His voice choked.

"Raman? Are you crying?"

He cleared his throat and composed himself, "No.. Why should I cry? Jaan.. I am driving, I will reach soon. Take care and I love you."

"I love you too."

He hang up the call and again fresh tears rolled out from his eyes. But no..! He need to be strong, he has to take care of her. Raman wiped his eyes and drive back to home.

****

Raman was standing at the door way, he composed himself and pressed the door bell. Ishita opened the door smiling, "Why did you take so long?"

"I am sorry."

"It's okay, I know you might be busy somewhere. Anyways you go and freshen up. I will serve dinner for you." Raman shook his head with a slight smile. He walked in the room and throw the file and walked in washroom, he again gave into tears when he recalled he throw the medical file on bed. He splashed water on his face few more time and walked out. Raman quickly grabbed the file and searched for a safe place to hide when he heard her footsteps, he quickly hide it in wardrobe.

"What are you hiding?" She asked making him shock.

"No.. Nothing.. I.. I was just taking my shirt."

Ishita laughed seeing him sweating, "You are sweating as if you caught red handed." Raman smiled and saw her smiling face, "Keep smiling always jaan." Ishita noticed Raman's weird behaviour but she avoided, they had dinner together and then slipped into bed. Ishita was sleeping, resting her head on his chest.

"Raman? You okay no?

"Yes. Why you asked so?"

"No.. We were trying but nothing worked, I didn't get pregnant. I don't know what's wrong happening with my health."

"It's okay jaan." He said controlling his tears.

"It's good from one side, I can spend time with you now but once the baby arrive, my entire time will be with him." Ishita said looking up at him when she saw a glint of tear in his eyes.

"What happened?" She asked worried.

"Nothing."

"Raman.. Will you listen to me once?" Raman flicked his eyebrow, "Go and meet mummyji papaji once. You know today I watched a movie where to unknown the girl was suffering in some disease and left the boy alone forever. Who knows, the same happen with me.. I don't want you to live alone after me."

"Shut up Ishita." Raman pushed her angrily, "Stop watching such cheap movies."

"Raman.. I.." Ishita was dumbstruck as Raman never behaved in such way, he too realised he was being rude, he looked at her and pulled her for a hug, "I am sorry. I don't mean it. Why you talk about death and all? You know I don't like it."

"I am sorry Raman. I don't mean to hurt you. Don't worry I won't leave you ever." She said smiling.

"Promise?" He asked forwarding his hand to her, she kept her hand with a shook.

****

Two days passed, Raman didn't say her anything. On such day, Ishita was sitting in room and thought to clean the wardrobe, she took out the clothes and everything when she saw her medical file, she curiously opened it and read them. As soon as she read the word LEUKEMIA, she collapsed on floor, she checked the number and dialed.

"Hello? Dr. Khurana speaking."

"Doctor.. I.. I am Ishita Bhalla speaking."

"Oh, Mrs Bhalla.. How's your health now?"

"Doctor.. What's happening to me?" Ishita asked.

"Ugh.. Mrs Bhalla.." The doctor stammered.

"Doctor I read my medical history. So, don't lie to me. Tell me is it true?"

"Yes..!"

Things started spinning in her mind, "How much time I have..?"

"Hardly two but if you do chemotherapy then..!" But the doctor paused as he heard Ishita, "No.. I have much things to do. I have to finish them.. And yeah..! Please don't say about this phone call to my husband, I will deal it in my way." saying this she hang up the call and cried for hours, she recalled Raman's weird behaviour in these days.

"Raman..! He was going through such pain for me..! Why murugan? Why you did this with us?" She cried but later she composed thinking, "No.. I have to be strong, I know Raman.. If he see me like this, he would break. No..!"

****

Raman walked in the bedroom and saw neat and clean, today he decided to say he everything. Raman opened the wardrobe to take the file but it was missing, Raman became restless, he started finding it everywhere but didn't find it when Ishita walked in calmly, seeing her he tried to calm his nerve down when Ishita forward the file, Raman looked at her shocked, "You are searching for it no?"

"Ishita?"

"What you thought, you could able to hide this from me?"

Raman collapsed on the floor crying, "I am sorry Ishita. I hide this but I had no courage to face it. I am sorry."

Ishita's eyes filled with tears but she composed herself and bend on her knees, she hugged him tightly and patted his back to console him. After a while later, Raman parted from her and looked at her dumbstruck - she was so calm.

"Raman..! I don't want to go through some chemotherapy procedure. We both know this is incurable disease and we have to face it. Raman I have less time in my hand, and I have many wishes to do. I want to live each moment Raman.. with you." She said taking his hand in hers.

"No Ishita.. If you go through the procedure, you can live few more times."

"Can you assure me?" She asked when Raman had no words to say, "No right..? It's only 5% to recover and if I agreed.. My half days passed on the bed only, I don't want to live like this Raman. Please Raman.. Don't force me to accept it. I never asked you anything in these years.. May be god also wants me to ask you this one from you. Please..!" She pleaded.

"It's not easy for me jaan.."

"Even not for me. I never thought, I would leave you like this but I can't help it. Now all I want to spend time with you, to relive the moments again. Please..! Okay.. If I fulfill any three of my wish, I will go through the procedure. I promise."

"Okay."

Days passed, Raman tried to spend his maximum time with her, he didn't let her work, always ask her to take rest. During office time, Raman called her every hour to ask about her health and remind her about her medicines, though sometimes Ishita got irritated but she never complained as she knew he loves her so much so he cared for her. On the weekend they were sitting together in their bedroom when Ishita said, "Raman.. Tomorrow is sunday. Can we go somewhere?"

"Where you want to go?"

"To the orphanage home..!" She replied instantly, Raman agreed.

Next morning, Ishita walked out from washroom and saw Raman still sleeping - tears made their way from her eyes, Ishita sat beside him and caressed his hair, "Raman I want to live more, I don't want to go away from you." She had no words to say, she kissed on his forehead and took leave from there when Raman opened his eyes, tears fall down from corner of his eyes - he never felt so helpless. Its too tough to see his love going away from each passing day.

"Raman shall we go?" Ishita asked walking in the room, Raman saw her and mesmerised seeing her - she was dressed in a white and blue net saree. She flicked her eyes, Raman shook his head and they took leave.

***

Raman was watching her as she was playing with the kids, she was enjoying with them and that brought smile on his face. "I wish I could stop the time here." he thought and clicked her photo, just then Ishita called him. They spent the entire day with them, finally came back home exhausted.

"Finally my one wish came true. Now I have no complain with god that he didn't give me time to conceive. Today I got the love from the kids which a mother always craved. Thank you for taking me there Raman." She hugged him happily.

"So now your one wish complete.. Two more left. You remember your promise?" Ishita shook her head.

Another week passed, on this weekend they went out to have some time together, both were sitting at the sea beach. They were staring at the sun which is reconciled with the sea. "One day I will also passed away just like the sun." Ishita said thoughtful. "But you know what is the bad thing.. Once the night passed away, the sun again arrive but I won't come again. But yes.. I will always be with you.. Just like Sun.. Though we can't see the sun at night but its light is with us through the moon. Like this I will be always there with you, whenever you feel alone just come under the open sky, you can see me."

"Ishita, stop saying all this please." Ishita looked at Raman who had tears in his eyes, "I never knew my husband is so weak." She hugged him tightly.

Days passed,

One day Ishita decided to visit her family and also Raman's but she wasn't sure whether he would agree or not, so she just talk about her family to Raman and they went there on another weekend. Though the meeting wasn't good at start, Mr Iyer lashed on Raman once again and insulted him but Ishita protested, he disclosed his identity - not being any orphan, she even disclosed her illness and everyone shattered but Ishita pacified them.

"Appa.. When I myself leaving you all then why this hatred? Can't you both join hands together? I want to see you both happy. Appa I love you the way I love him, can't you accept him for me?" Ishita cried when Mr Iyer gave in and apologized to Raman, he too apologized and Ishita hugged them together.

Once they returned to home, Raman asked, "Why are you doing all this Ishita?!"

"I am giving you the reason to live after me." She said with a smile, "I know you will stop taking care of yourself but you have to live for them. You have to take care of amma appa, they have no one except me. Promise me you will become their son, promise me you will visit them once in week, you will spend one day with them and will take care of them as well as yours." Raman closed his eyes tightly, as much as he tried to run away from the fact, Ishita always remind him the bitter fact. He shook his head. "No I want to hear it from your mouth."

"I promise you."

The one month passed, now Ishita's health detained in each passing day, most of the time Raman spend with her, he took care of her each single thing. Her life stopped behind the four walls.

"Raman.. I am feeling suffocated. Can you please take me out for some time?!" She demanded.

"Okay.."

Raman protectively held her in his arms and they walked at the sea beach when Raman sensed her heavy breath, he made her sit on some nearby rock. Ishita looked at the sun which is setting down, "Raman.. I have one last wish. Will you do it?"

"What?"

"I want to meet your family."

"Ishita you know..!" But he was stopped as she requested, "Please.. For me.."

"I will try. Now lets go home. You should take rest.

They were on their way to home when suddenly Ishita felt so restless, she asked, "Raman can you please turn off the AC? I want to breathe some fresh air."

"Sure..!" He then looked at her who was sweating, "Ishita are you fine?"

"Yeah.. I am fine. Don't worry..!"

Though Raman wasn't convinced with her reply, "No.. I don't think you are fine, let's go to the doctor."

"Raman?" But I he glared at her, she had no strength to argue with him. Raman take a U- turn, they were on their way to hospital when Ishita's health started to detained, Raman got worried, he parked the car aside, "Ishita? What has happened? Tell me?"

"Raman.." She felt difficult to breathe.

"Yes tell me.. Are you feeling pain anywhere?"

"Wa.. Water..!" He quickly took the bottle from back seat and made her drink but nothing worked. Ishita was panting hard, Raman couldn't see her like this, he dialed doctor's number who asked him to admit her immediately.

"Ishita, don't worry.. We will reach hospital soon." He drive away.

Soon Raman admitted her in hospital and informed her family who arrived there within an hour. Raman was pacing restlessly in the corridor. He recalled their moments - Ishita's smiling face only appeared in his eyes. Raman recalled how Ishita requested him to visit his family, Raman called his family and asked them to come at hospital for once, though Mr Bhalla didn't agree but when he listened his son crying, he also gave up.

Raman was waiting outside when doctor walked out from ICU, Raman ran to him asking, "Doctor how's Ishita?" But the doctor didn't say anything, Raman realised what could happen, he started shaking and about to loose his balance when doctor held him.

"Raman.. I told you both to start her chemotherapy but Ishita didn't listen to us both. Now she has very less time in her hand. Go and meet her for the last time. She is calling you inside." The doctor said patting his shoulder, Raman had no strength to stand even, he asked Iyers to visit. Raman was sitting there shocked, how could his love left him so easily, they promised to stay together always - Raman had no expression on his face, he was sitting there like a statue when Bhalla's arrived, seeing there soon in such state, they also broke down.

"Raman?" Toshiji cried pulling him for a hug, just then Mr Iyer walked out and approached to Raman saying, "Raman.. Ishu is calling you inside."

Raman walked in with his shaky legs, she saw her lying with closed eyes. Raman walked to her. Feeling his presence, Ishita opened her eyes and smiled, he pressed his lips on her forehead showing all his love for her. "You know who has came to see you?" He turned at the door when Bhalla's walked in, "Maa, papa and Romi.." Ishita smiled.

They all seek forgiveness from Ishita when Ishita removed her oxygen musk, "Ishita?" Raman was about to stop her but she said, "Raman.. I am fine, I have less time, please don't stop me."

Ishita looked at Mrs Bhalla, "Mummyji.. Papaji one day I snatched Raman from you, may be that's why god punish me this way.. That I can't stay with him, with you all. If possible please forgive me." She said taking deep breath. "Romi.. Your brother is very nice person, he loves you a lot please don't hate him." Romi had tears in his eyes seeing his brother crying, Ishita signed him to come near to her, Once Romi came to her, Ishita took his hand as well as Raman's and kept Romi's hand on Raman's hand saying, "Please Romi.. Take care of your bhai after me."

"Ishita please stop saying all this, you are not going anywhere. Do you understand?" Raman yelled with tears in his eyes.

"Mummy ji.. Papa ji.. Please take care of him." Ishita requested, everyone cried, just then one nurse walked in and saw the crowd, she asked them to leave the room and put the oxygen musk on her mouth but Ishita removed it saying, "Let me talk to my family for the last time."

Once Bhalla's took leave from the room, Ishita looked at Raman who was crying vigorously. "Don't go Ishita."

"Even I don't want to go away from you but I am helpless, I have to go. But.. But you promise me after my death, you will live your life."

"No.. You are not going anywhere, you know I can't live without you Ishita."

"Won't you call me jaan?" She asked with heavy breath when Raman shook his head in no, "My Jaan is going away leaving her Raman alone."

Ishita cried and her pulse started dropping, she started to take heavy breath, "Raman.. I.. Can you do me one last thing for me? I have very less time."

Raman took her hand in his and kissed on her knuckle with a nod, "Hold me tight.. near to your heart Raman. I want to take my last breath on your arms, please..!" saying this she opened her arms, Raman didn't say anything and he hugged her tightly, "Don't go jaan, please don't go.."

"I.. I.. I love you Raman.. I love you so much, don't forget me." and she loosen her grip from his back and the machine beeped, Raman realised it and parted from her, he closed her eyes and kissed on her forehead, "I love you too jaan.." and he broke into tears.

****

After Ishita's funeral, Raman walked in the apartment, now no one waiting for him there, no one came to hug him once he walked in, Raman walked in their bedroom where they had their many beautiful moments - he started to feel suffocated, after she came in his life, he never thought to live a single moment without her and now he have to his life without her but with her memories. Raman collapsed on floor crying when he remembered once Ishita said, if he wants to meet her just came under the open sky, Raman immediately took leave from there.

He was running at the beach side crying and he stumbled on a rock and fall on sand, he shouted, "ISHITA..!!!"

"Raman?" He saw a blur vision, someone coming to him, he cleared his eyes and saw her standing there with a smile, "Ishita..?"

Ishita bend down on her knees, "Ishita? You are fine. Let's go back." He held her hand but she stopped him, "Raman.. I have gone far away from me, I can't go back. But I had to come for you.."

"Why did you leave me?"

"Who told you I left you?" She said cupping his face, "I am here only... near to your heart. My love will be with you always. You have to keep our love alive, from now.. I will see this world through your eyes, I will live each moment through you. Now stop crying.. My Raman is not so weak. Raman promise me, you will live.. You won't live like this, Raman.. I can't see you like this, I won't be happy if I see you like this. So, promise me.. May be I won't be there physically, but my love will always be there to support you, to give you strength and whenever you miss me just open your arms, you can feel me."

"But.." Raman was going to say but she put her finger saying, "No if but.. I want to see you smiling always and I know you won't disappoint your jaan right?"

Raman cried when she wiped his tears, and made him stand, "Raman our family is waiting for you. Amma appa they needs you. Go..!" She turned him around but again he looked back, "No.. After few minutes, spend some time with me."

Ishita chuckled and ruffled his hair saying, "You know no.. I already stole this moment from God, now I have to go. My world is waiting for me. Go.. Raman.. Go back to your world." She said as tears rolled out from her eyes but Ishita composed herself and turn him around, "Now don't turn back, my swear to you." Now Raman didn't turn back and started to walk when Ishita also turned back and reconciled in the sea.

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se..
Yeh zindagani mehroom hai..
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka..
Na mere dil ko maloom hai..

Tujhko main kitni shiddat se chahun..
Chahe toh rehna tu bekhabar..
Mohtaj manzil ka toh nahi hai..
Yeh ek tarfa mera safar safar..
Khoobsurat hain manzil se bhi..
Meri har kami ko hai tu lazmi..

Adhoora hoke bhi hai ishq mera kaamil..
Tere bina guzara..
Ae dil hai mushkil...

*****

Next year,

Raman walked in the apartment, he kept his shoes on right place then he walked in their room - he smiled seeing one wall as a beautiful picture of Ishita was hanging there, he caressed it. After that he changed into his night dress - now Raman never kept wet towel on sofa, he never does such things on which Ishita used to scold him, after that he had his dinner and climbed on the bed, he took her bedside photo and started talking - it was Raman's regular chorus after returning back, he shared how his day started - what new he experienced everything..! Around 11:55 pm, Raman smiled seeing their one photo and walked to the balcony, he looked up at one shining star and smiled - Ishita's face flashed in front of his eyes, "Jaan I hope you are happy.. See your Raman became more responsible towards everything, now I hope you have no complain with me."

Then he opened his arms with a smile, "Happy first anniversary jaan." Just then cold breeze touched his face making him smile brightly, "I love you and I miss you so much."

THEME 3

ENTRY 7

Chichora Piya

Ishita was standing at the bus stop looking left and right, feeling bored as it was nearly fifteen minutes since she had been standing here. She wore a peach colour cotton salwar and her hair was tied back in a Punjabi style. As it was morning, the road was blocked with traffic due to people travelling either to school, college or office. Even the bus stop was crowded with people of all ages waiting for their respective buses.

Bored, she took a box from her bag and opened it up. She held up a laddoo and took a bite, relishing the taste. Losing focus of all external distractions she continued eating from her box. So engrossed was she in eating, her eyes shut, that it was only the husky masculine voice that managed to pull her away and cause her to open her eyes to meet another pair, of warm chocolate brown.

Squinting she took a step back in realisation that the man was standing too close to her. He wore a dark green shirt printed with pink flowers, a pair of yellow pants and matching boots. A dark red handkerchief was tied around his neck whilst the black uncombed hair gave him a messy look.

"Hey sundari. Mere rasagulla." The man flirted running his fingers through his messy hair while giving flashing a toothy grin.

Ishita looked shocked and turned to her right, purposely ignoring him. He commented again.

"Kya figure hain madam! Aap toh side angle mein jalebi lag rahe ho!" He continued.

Ishita's eyes bulged at his remark but she decided to stand firm and ignore this roadside Romeo.

"Kya madam ji, zara humare taraf bhi dhekiye, hum kabse aapko dekh rahe hain. Vaise bhi aapke aankhein toh golgappa jaise hain." He flirtatiously complemented her again.

Ishita glared angrily at him but this only encouraged him further.

"Haye Haye... maar dala. Nishaan seedha dil pe gaya, madam ji." He said coming a little closer.

"Ladkiyon ko chedane ke alawa tumhe koi kaam nahi hain kya?" Ishita shouted causing everyone else to now focus on the two of them.

"Nahi Nahi madam ji, I have a lot of work to do. But you see yeh dil paagal hain, deewana hain. Waise yeh jawaani hi deewani hain." The man said stretching his arms out.

"You idiot. Don't you dare to mess with me. Do you know what people call me huh, listen I am a jhansi ki Rani. OK. I'll kill you with my bare hands if you will not leave this place." Ishita warned him.

"Oye madam ji, Jo bolna hain voh Hindi mein bolna. Apunko angrej samaj mein Nahi aata. Par koi baat nahi, aap jaise mirchi ladki Jo bolege voh chalega." The man said smiling.

Ishita was about to say something but stopped as soon as she heard some voices coming to her side.

"Kya hua beti, Kya yeh ladka tumhe pareshaan kar raha hain?" An elderly man asked Ishita.

Before she could answer a lady cried, "Aaj dino mein Ladkiyon ki raksha kaha hain. Hmm...hum sab iss kamina ko sabak sikhayenge."

"Hoye Hoye.! Chup kar sab log. Badi ayi sabak sikhane wali. Yeh mamla hum dono ka hain, toh hum dono "milke" decide karenge." The man said stressing on the word milke.

"Bas!" Ishita screamed holding up her palm and making everyone jump.

"Ghar mein ma behen Nahi hain Kya? Kab tak aap jaise log helpless Ladkiyon ko satayenga, huh? Sharam aana chahiye tumhe. Chi gihn aate mujhe aap jaise neech logon se baat karne se. Tum jeene ke layak bhi Nahi ho." Ishita said furiously and slapped him hard across his face.

He stared at her utterly shocked, jaw open in surprise at her

."Maaro sale ko. Iss kamina ko mat chodna." Ishita yelled dramatically causing everyone to begin hitting the man.

"Enough. What the hell are you people doing huh? Do you all even have any idea about me? I am Raman Kumar bhalla, Chairman of Bhalla group of companies. And she is my wife Mrs Ishita Raman Bhalla. Got it." He snapped angrily causing the crowd to murmur while Ishita fumed and slapped him once again.

"How dare you claim me as your wife,huh. Sharam aana chahiye. Maine socha bhi Nahi ki Tum itna gir sakti ho, Chi. Main tumhara koi wife Nahi hoon. OK." Ishita said folding her arms.

"What the! Dekho Ishita now it's too much. Sirf tumhare liye main yeh sab kar raha hoon, ab bahot ho chuka hain. Come let's go home." Raman said trying to free himself from the crowd.

"Jooth mat bolo. Tum ek awara ho so behave like that. Don't you dare to claim me as your wife."

"Ishita." He screamed but immediately calmed down seeing her scared eyes and cupped her cheeks.

"Now stop this drama, dear. People are getting way too involved in our fight. Come let's go home." Raman pleaded with her.

"Oye tu bada shatir soch rahe ho. Come let's take you to the police station instead." A man from the crowd said and roughly grabbed Raman's shirt.

"Enough dammit. Kitne baar kehna hain main apna biwi ko manane ki koshish kar raha hoon." Raman shouted making everyone continue with their murmurs.

FLASH BACK

Ishita was standing in front of the mirror and checking her saree while Raman was busy admiring her.

"You look beautiful, Ishita." He whispered in her ear while she blushed.

She turned towards him and wound her arms around his neck to say, "toh ek selfie toh banta hain na."

"No!" He screamed immediately.

"But why?" She asked surprised.

"Ishita, it may harm our baby. Phone mein radiation hote hain. Isiliye a big No to any selfies. Agar Tum chahti ho toh I'll call an artist and he'll paint your picture. OK?" Raman said cupping her cheeks.

"Not OK. Tum Jooth bol rahe ho. Nothing will happen to the baby. Bas ek selfie poocha Maine." She distanced herself from him and sat on the bed to switch on the TV instead.

"Ishita!" He came running to her and grabbed the remote. "Loud music is also not good for the baby."

"Enough! Raman it's too much. I know you are deliberately trying to avoid romancing me. Am I right?" She questioned him.

"What? Why will I do that?"

"Because I am not beautiful like earlier. I am looking stout with this baby bump. And you lost interest in me, that's why you are making excuses for taking a selfie. I know it." She sniffled.

"Oh baby, please don't cry. I love you na, please don't cry." He kissed her forehead cooing her. "I still love you and you are looking more beautiful now with this baby bump. I'm just worried about our baby that's all." He said while she nodded her head. Suddenly an idea popped in to her crazy brain so she stood up with a start.

"Kya kaha tumne "I am looking beautiful now, iska matlab Kya? I wasn't looking beautiful earlier? And you are just worried for baby but not me the mother carrying it?" She pouted.

"Ishita you are thinking far too deeply with that. I'm equally worried for the both of you."

"No don't you deny it Raman Bhalla. The truth is that you don't love me anymore. You don't want me in your life." She said and engrossed herself in watching TV instead.

"OK! Tell me what I must do for you to believe that I still love you as much as I always have." He said feeling defeated.

"Sachhi, will you do anything for me?"

"Yes dear. I promise to do anything for you."

"OK then," She thought for a bit before getting an idea from the TV itself. On the music channel "chichora piya song from action Jackson" was playing.

"You must act like a chichora." She clapped her hands in excitement.

"What? Chichr..a something? What is that?"

"Haaw. You don't know what chichora means! It means something like Romeo, awara, playboy. Uh there are many heroes in this role,"

"I am not going to act like anything." He stated firmly.

"I know you don't love me. You always lie to me. Don't talk to me." She started weeping.

"Okay fine. Now stop crying. I'll act like chichr... something." He said checking his anger.

"Thank you so much Raman. You are the best!" She hugged him tight.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Bahut accha kahani hain. But we won't believe it." The crowd said disbelieving his tale.

"I don't give a damn about what you believe. All I care for is my wife and my baby." He said addressing the crowd and turned towards Ishita.

"Ishita are you going to end this charade or not?"

"Kya sabit karna chahtein ho? Why must you reveal everything to everyone. Now I completely believe you don't love me anymore. Get lost, because there's no way I'm coming with you." She said and stubbornly sat down on the floor.

"Okay fine!" He said and picked her in his arms while she was struggling to get down.

...

"Sorry Ishita, dekho I didn't mean to pick you up forcefully. But I'm so concerned for you and our baby's health that's why I have to do this. Here drink this milk." He said cupping her cheeks.

"I'm very bad na Raman. I'm treating you very badly with my pregnancy cravings na. I'm sorry. You are doing so much for me still I'm behaving illogically." She started crying.

It was a normal sight for Raman to see Ishita in different mood swings. At first he used to get irritated but later he learned to be calm and patient as they came and went.

"OK now stop the crying. Come let's sleep." He patted her head lovingly and helped her in settling down into bed.

...

AFTER 30 MINUTES

"Raman!" She called him softly.

"Hmm. What happened? Are you feeling any pain?" He asked concerned.

"No! I am fine." She said. making him sigh in relief. "Raman did super man come to Chandni Chowk bazaar?"

"Why will Superman come to the market? Tum bhi na." He said and pulled her gently towards him. "Sojao na."

"Nahi Raman. Baby wants to see Superman in the market Raman." Ishita said looking at him innocently.

"Ishita!" He muttered irritated "Sleep peacefully." He tried lulling her to sleep.

"You are a bad father. You don't love your son. Boo hoo," Ishita started crying. "It's only a small wish Raman."

"Oh Ishita, please stop crying. Don't start crying now." He consoled her. "Fine, tell me what must I do."

"Please aap baby ke liye Superman ban kar market mein dance kariye na." She pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"What?" He exclaimed in shock but soon agreed upon seeing her weeping.

Uff another pregnancy craving had begun and as usual, he would be the one getting into trouble.

ENTRY 8

Without you, my soul would be empty, my heart broken and my being incomplete. Unknown.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A LIVING DEATH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jiske Aane Se Muqammal Ho Gayi Thi Jindagi...

Dastake Khushiyo Ne Di Thi, Mit Gayi Thi Har Kami...

Kyon Bevajah Di Ye Saja, Kyon Khwab Deke Wo Le Gaya...

Jiye Jo Ham Lage Sitam, Azaab Aise Wo De Gaya...

They were happy together, being with each other. They completed each other. They gave each other's lives a different meaning. They set a new trend of love. He was not a person to fall in love with someone after receiving a betrayal from the one he loved. He was not a person to understand the depth of love. But after her arrival, everything got changed. It's been said that love changes you inside out, and brings out a completely different one from you, you have never seen. She changed him as a person. She made him want to be a better person. The one who could never see anything beyond his work and family now was giving his own life chance to be happy. She came like sunshine in his life that just brightened his inner self who was lost in some darkness after the bitter phase he had witnessed after Shagun's betrayal to him.

She, a normal girl, who had no other dreams in her life except being a doctor...a successful doctor because that was her mother's dream, had experienced a beautiful phase of falling and relishing the love. Ishita...Ishita Iyyer had always been, a girl focusing on nothing except her studies. She wasn't much talkative, neither, she was the one who would interact with everyone or would go on making everyone as her friend. No!!! She just wasn't the one. She had always been more a reserved person. Her mother left her when she was 17, too young to bear the loss of someone who meant complete world to her.

She had always been around her mother...always. The reason was because she loved her mother...more than anything else...more than anyone else. She always believed her mother was the best and her mother indeed was!!! For her, she was her everything...her every wish...her every prayer...her god...her mentor...her tutor...her idol...her world!!! Ishita had wished for nothing except her mother...she had asked from god, nothing except her mother to be with her, always...loving her, caring for her, supporting her, being there for her. But not always, one gets what he/she wants and so she did not. God didn't fulfill her only wish. Her mother suffered from a deadly incurable disease. When doctors diagnosis her mother with that disease, they did nothing but very clearly told her family that her mother would not be able to survive more than two years.

When Ishita got to know that, she could not understand what to do. At the mere age of 12, she got to know that her mother...her life was going away from her. But even her mother was brave enough...brave enough to accept what had been told to her. She didn't sit there crying because she had only two years of her life left...but tried almost everything...every hospital, every Mandir, church, darga...every medicine mind it allopathic, homeopathic or Ayurveda...every that thing which had even 0.1% chance of making her alright. But nothing really worked out. It helped her mother, to keep her condition somewhat stable but it could not stop the progress of disease which was speedily heading to something worse. Still, Ishita didn't stop hoping. She trusted in God...she didn't use to do earlier but she started doing it...only for her mother. She thought that everyone says miracles do happen...miracles do happen...so she presumed it will happen with her and her mother too.

She had strong and firm belief that no matter what her mother would never leave her. No one and nothing can snatch her mother from her but everything, her every belief, her every hope died with her mother leaving a shattered Ishita behind. The moment, she saw life had been drained out of her mother, she felt she didn't only lose her mother but she lost her own self too with her. Before her mother left her, her mother used to tell her like... do this...do that...but Ishita never paid attention because she hated hearing from other that she would leave her one day. But, Ishita didn't really fall apart after her mother...She held herself because her mother wanted her to do that...though she had nothing left in her but still she preferred holding on...But nothing remained same after that. She slipped into an even more reserved state. People around her kept asking, telling and suggesting that she would have to move on...she must move on and much more. Everyone assumed and even let her know that she wasn't happy...that she was punishing herself for something which she should not...that she must leave everything that happened and start being happy in her life. But none of them could really understand that she was happy...Yes...she was happy but being with her mother's memories only, not with them. None of them understood what it means losing someone so so so close to you but people have habit of interfering and giving their so called suggestions due to their so called concern.

Then, she met Raman. She couldn't understand anything but he and his companionship changed her. His arrival in her life, gave her a meaning to live, a reason to live. She changed into a person, full of life, for him, with him. He was broken the same way she was. They both weren't perfect. They both had flaws but they filled the gaps in each other's life, bringing out a new one out of them.

They had met, in a meeting arranged by their families for their marriage. Neither she nor he wanted to get into any relationship. Both had their own reason for it. She didn't want it because she was all in her own. She didn't feel like she would be ever able to be with anyone. All what she wanted was to be alone, with her memories, with the dream of her mother...and he didn't want to indulge in any kind of relation because he was broken after the betrayal of Shagun. She made him lose his trust in love and relations.

But, mere a meeting was enough for them to feel the spark. It was some miracle for them own selves that they agreed easily for the marriage. Something was in between them...something definitely was. The presence of each other, made them feel like they would be able to live again...they would be able to be happy again. Yeah! They weren't living till now but were only breathing! It's never that we trust someone in a single meet but something urged them to trust each other. They didn't even talk much...just some random questions regarding their professions and that's it. They said yes for spending their rest of the lives with each other.

He was a Punjabi guy while she was a south Indian. But this thing didn't be an obstacle as their families were much understanding and mature enough to know that these things never matter. They got married with the blessings of their families. After their marriage, their life was absolutely amazing. Both were happy with each other. Soon, their care, concern and attachments towards each other made them fall for each other. Yes! They fell in love with each other. What a beautifully ecstatic feeling it was for them! It was after six months of their marriage when they realized they had been fallen deeply, immensely and helplessly in love with each other. It was their six months anniversary, when Raman confessed his feelings to Ishita, by organizing a very beautiful and romantic set up on their terrace. It was an adorable surprise cum shock for her. When she realized she had fallen for him, she was way too nervous that how would she confess to him but he made it easy for her. She confessed him back, and it became the loveliest moment of their life. That night, the moon witnessed the two souls getting one. That night, they submitted themselves to each other completely, accepting each other in every sense.

Raman never felt these feelings when he thought he was in love with Shagun. It made him sure, that he was never in love with her. Shagun was nothing more than attraction and infatuation for him. What he felt for Ishita, he never did, for anyone. She was the one, and she was the only one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFTER TWO YEARS:

One day a letter knocked their door which left their life shaken from inside out. That one letter, destroyed everything, destroyed their beautiful life.

"Raman...Ramaaan" She screamed as her eyes read the matter written on the letter.

He came out of the washroom, hearing her. "What happened? Why are you shouting, Jaan?" he asked very casually, not realizing it was going to be the worst moment of his life.

"What is this?" Anger had bubbled up in her eyes. Hurt and pain had crossed their limits. Her eyes had welled up ready to shed the tears brimming in her eyes, anytime.

His body posture suddenly changed, feeling the tension in her tone. He looked at her face, which seemed like she had just seen the worst nightmare of her life. He immediately rushed towards her and held her shoulder softly.

"What happened? What is this?" he took the letter from her. He roamed his eyes over that letter. His hands trembled. His face turned pale and within a minute it fell down from his hand. He stammered on his words, "Ish...Ishita...ye..."

"Haan... Ye Raman...Kya hai ye? How can you do this to me Raman?" she couldn't help but her voice sounded like it had almost choked up. She fell down on her knees, crying bitterly.

"Mai...mujhe nahi...mai nahi janta tha ye ese..." he didn't know what to say. He was beyond shock to react anything.

"You didn't know? Seriously? You didn't know? I told you, don't bring her to me...didn't I? But you still did...you forced me to admit her, treat her...and see the consequences now...She accused me of false accusation, committed suicide...and my medical license has been canceled for lifetime...you understand this? This means I will never be able to treat others...I am not a doctor anymore...You knew this was my mother's dream...which is destroyed now...you killed me, Raman, you killed my soul today" she was going through something which could not be expressed in words. The one dream of her mother, she was living for, which was a reason for her to live, had been snatched from her. She felt she was losing it. She felt suffocating. Nothing had left in her at that point of time. It was her dream...if it would have been hers, then she would have let it go easily. But NO! It was her mother's dream! That person's dream, who was most important for her...who was her soul.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback:

"Raman please, I don't trust her. I am not stopping you from doing anything for her because I trust you. But please don't bring her to me. I can't and don't trust her. I am anyway having some bad intuitions...please understand Raman" Ishita almost pleaded Raman, for not making her treat Shagun, who was suffering from a heart disease.

"Ishita...even I am helpless...Please don't make me feel more guilty...and treat her, please. I am begging in front of you...please Ishita...tumhe meri Kasam..." he tried convincing her, for accepting Shagun as her patient and treating her. He felt worst seeing her face but he could do nothing.

Her eyes lifted at him. He left her with no other option by making her swear him. She just left the room, without saying anything.

Flashback ends:

Shagun had accused Ishita of mistreating her, for giving her wrong medicines on purpose. When, police came and checked the dose was being given to her was something, which was a poison. Shagun, herself had changed her medicines, with help of one nurse. Shagun was a mentally ill, a psycho and obsessive person. When Raman married Ishita, forgetting Shagun, she couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear that Ishita took away Raman from her. Being a psycho, Shagun didn't even care about her own life. All what she wanted was to destroy Ishita and that's what she did. When police came and checked everything, they went to Shagun and found her dead. She left a note before dying, saying Ishita would be responsible if anything happens to her. That was enough. They canceled Ishita's license temporarily and sent her a notice saying she would have to be present in court for a hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even the thought of her medical license getting canceled, the dream of her mother getting shattered left her shaken.

Raman kneeled down in front of her, and tried keeping his hand on her cheek but she backed off. Lifting her eyes to him, she stared at him for a while. Her eyes showed nothing but only and only agony.

He could not express how he felt at that time, seeing her in that condition. He died hundreds of deaths when he saw her dying from inside.

"Don't worry Ishita...ham court jayenge...kuch nahi hoga" he tried comforting her with his words but deep inside his heart was unsure about what he was saying.

She didn't say anything. She got up without saying anything and straightaway went to her room. She locked the room behind. He almost ran behind her but the time he reached, he found a closed door on his face.

She threw herself on the bed and cried out loudly. She sobbed, till tears drained from her eyes. She welled, till her heart stopped feeling anything.

Roaming fingers on the closed door, he slipped on the ground. Resting his head on the door, tears started falling down from his eyes. Both souls had lost themselves that day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Court's Hearing, nothing worked out in Ishita's favor. All the proofs were against her. Seeing her past experience, she did being announced no punishment but her license had been canceled...PERMANENTLY.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AT ISHRA'S HOME:

Raman entered inside, completely broken after court's decision. Ishita had left without him. His gaze fell on her. She came out, dragging her luggage with her. His heart broke into millions of pieces...those pieces he would never be able to collect...those pieces, which were going to remain scattered only...

"I can't stay with you, here, anymore," she said emotionlessly.

He said nothing. He did nothing. She glanced at his face once, before she made her way out. It was neither easy for her nor for him. He had loved her to the extent where he was ready to do anything for her and she loved him so much where she could sacrifice her life for him. But both had fallen in a phase where they could do nothing...absolutely nothing. Both had never felt so helpless before. Things had messed up in a way, that could never get back them to where they were.

She walked out. He didn't even dare to turn and nor did she. He was sure, about where would he end up, if he sees her going away from him...for forever. Tears were welling up in both of their eyes. Silent screams of them rang in their room, leaving deep scars on two souls.

*********************************************************************

Kya Kya Na Socha Tha Maine, Kya Kya Na Sapne Sajaye

Kya Kya Na Chaha Tha Dil Ne, Kya Kya Na Armaan Jagaaye

Iss Dil Se Tufan Gujarate Hai

Tum Bin Na Jeete Na Marte Hai

Aa Jaao, Laut Kar Tum, Ye Dil Keh Raha Hai

AFTER TWO YEARS:

Ishita was sitting on a couch. She had shifted to her old home, where she used to live with her mother, in Shimla. After her mother, Ishita and her father got shifted to Delhi. When her father came to know that she had left Raman's home, he insisted her on living with him but she refused. She wanted to live with the memories of her mother. Even her father couldn't convince his daughter to stay back. Now, she was living in Shimla, alone.

She looked still the same. Nothing had changed much but still, everything had changed. She wasn't anymore the person she used to be. After her mother, she had slipped into a reserved person. But Raman's arrival had brought out the hidden one in her. When she left him, she left a part of her soul with him. Already she was broken after her mother and what happened because of Raman broke her in every sense...leaving the only void in her.

Her gaze fell upon the calendar. It was their marriage anniversary. Yeah, Marriage Anniversary!...Because they never got divorced. She felt dizzy. Her vision blurred due to the thin layer of tears forming in her eyes. Soon the tears turned into loud cries. The sound of her painful shrieks echoed into her empty room.

"Why did you do this Raman? Why? I thought life is again giving me a chance by sending you for me...the soon I was getting normal, was collecting broken pieces of my soul, you again broke them and left them scattered...I know you never intentionally wanted to hurt me...I know you can never do that...I know that you love me as much as I love you...but after what happened, we can never be together...maybe we just weren't destined to be...for me everything comes after my mother...and I can never forget that I can't fulfill her dream...and somewhere the reason...the reason is YOU"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Delhi:

Raman stared at the laptop screen without blinking his eyes even for a second. His eyes were fixed on the face of the woman, in the paused video, which he was playing on his laptop. The woman, who meant everything to him, the woman who was the love of his life, the woman who made him believe in love again, the woman he could move earth and heaven for...Ishita...his wife!!!

He was watching the video of their marriage, trying to re-live those moments through their memories, again. He knew, he would never be able to live them again, with her but he kept themselves alive in his memories.

His face was blank. It hardly showed anything. The time, she left him, even he himself left him. He wasn't living anymore but only breathing.

"I know Ishita, the pain I have given you...has no cure. There is nothing which can soothe that pain...and trust me, I won't ever forgive myself for being the reason of your pain...I am sorry Ishita...I am sorry but even I was helpless...was bound by the same relation you left me for"

Flashback:

"Raman, please, take Shagun to Ishita...it's her wish Raman...she came to me and she was crying so bitterly...she has changed Raman...please take her to Ishita" Toshi Ji pleaded Raman, as she held his arm for admitting Shagun in Ishita's hospital.

"Nahi Maa" he denied knowing Shagun wasn't a trustworthy person.

"Tujhe meri kasam...ya to use waha le ja ya tu mera mara hua muh dekhega" Toshiji used her final weapon.

"Maaa" he shouted in anger, not being able to take what she said.

Just like Ishita, Raman also loved his mother a lot...more than anyone else. He could even happily die for her happiness but what she had demanded today left him speechless. On one side, was his wife and on the other side, was his mother who had swears of dying if he didn't take Shagun to Ishita.

He was in a dilemma. His mother had left him, to choose between her and his wife and he chose his mother. No matter what, his mother had to be his choice.

Shagun was the daughter of Toshi Ji's friend and she loved her just like her daughter. That's why when she came to her asking for forgiveness of what she did to Raman, Toshi Ji melted at her fake tears and got trapped into her fakeness. She couldn't understand it was her plan.

Raman forced Ishita to accept Shagun as a patient for sake of his mother and he never told Ishita about it because they both were suffering from the very same thing.

He had forced her for sake of his mother which he never knew would shatter Ishita's mother's dream. He could never forgive himself for that and on the other side, Ishita left him because it was him, she could not complete her mother's dreams because of.

No one was really right or no one was really at fault here. Circumstances weren't favorable for them. It separated the two people who loved each other immensely.

Flashback ends:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am sorry Ishita...I am sorry...I love you Ishita...I love you."

"I am sorry Raman...but we can't be together...I love you and will always do."

O... mmm...
Darr hai tujhe main kho na doon
Mile jo Khuda toh bol doon

Tu bata... o..
Tu jo mere paas hai
Mujhko na koi pyaas hai
Meri muqammal ho gayi har duaa..
Chahe mere jism mein
Yeh jaan rahe na rahe
Tere mere pyar ki umar salamat rahe
Tere tukdo mein jee rahe
Tum jo mile toh jud gaye
Pankh laga ke udd chala mann mera o..
Tujhme main hoon, mujhme tu
Aur hai saansein roobaroo
Kuch bhi nahi ab dono ke darmiyaan
Chahe uss chand mein
Chamak rahe na rahe
Tere mere pyar ki umar salamat rahe
Chahe main rahoon jahan mein
Chahe tu na rahe
Tere mere pyar ki umar salamat rahe

raman was looking at her with all love and Ishita suddenly crushed in his arms ,first raman was shocked than he reprociated the hug ,
than after calming down ,

Ishita told raman how one day mihir accidentaly told her about raman and how much he found her and suffered for her.

RAMAN again hugged her and ishita said that'' u have u much power in ur love that GOD helped u in finding me ,I wish I also had so much power in my love ,Raman shusshed her and pressed his lips on her both were taking outr their sadness loneliness for eachother .
and last promise to live with each other forever.

THEME 4

ENTRY 10

Authors note- this os is on theme#4 and the song used in it is title track of "ae dil hai mushkil".

AE DIL HAI MUSHKIL

Raman was walking to and fro in his room trying hard to control his heartbeat.he was trying hard to adjust to this new sensation he was feeling right now.yes he was very disturbed ,feeling all time low and most importantly the feeling of loosing something precious was bothering him.he look around and found his room in complete mess ,which he himself created not able to bear the pain he is going through.

He thought something and all he could remember was her words,I hate the way to keep ur room in complete mess.clean it or I will never enter ur dirty room.

A smile crept on his face remembering her words and he started cleaning the room.he was cleaning his room when he again remember her words,Bhai mujhe shaadi karni hai,karni hai toh bas karni hai.chahe kisi se bhi.but I want to get married.

Raman remembered it and again throw everything which he was arranging and sat on the couch dejected.he look at his laptop ,who was covering the marriage rituals of his love,his ishita's marriage through CCTV.he picked his laptop and paused the video on her face,her angelic face .she was looking ethereal in her bridal attire.but something was amiss and it was the spark of her eyes.she was looking down and all he can see was her sad eyes.

He touched her face on the screen and said- I know I was the one who rejected u.I was the one who told u that I don't love u.I myself did this so that u can marry someone who deserves u .someone who is rich like u not someone like me,who always lived on ur bhai's support. Phir kyun mujhe itni takleef ho rahi hai.kyun main tumhe kisi aur ka hote hue nahi dekh paa raha.why ishita why.he said crying touching the screen which has her pic.

Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Tu mera khuda
Tu hi duaa main shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Mujhe azmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu lazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banu main tere kaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Raman- u know ishita,u r the best thing which ever happened to me and I never wanted to leave u ,coz I always loved u but I shouldn't forget what I am and what u r.u r the daughter of one of the most richest man in town Mr iyer.and I am just the son of his driver.yes I know we came closer after the death of our parents and u and ur brother karthik never treated me as servant but as family.but it didn't change the truth that I am not of ur standard,not of ur class.thinking so he start thinking about their first meeting.

FLASHBACK

Twenty years ago,it was an ugly day for iyers as they have lost Mr iyer today.yes he died in a car accident.ishita was just two at that time and was most attached to her father.karthik was ten at that time .he was much mature then his age or say the sudden death of his father made him mature.he supported Mrs iyer and Mrs iyer took care of the big empire her husband left behind.

In juggling between the home and office,Mrs iyer couldn't give time to ishita and the little ishita was left at the mercy of helps.everyone took care of ishita but still she always crave for love.

There was one more person in that big mansion who was left all alone in that big world and that was,the son of their driver,Raman, who died in that accident.his mother died when she was delivering him and his father died in the accident making raman orphan.he was just six years old.Mrs iyer have arranged food and shelter for him but still he was alone and always use to cry as he was all alone in the world.he use to reside in a room in their mansion ,he always get food on time and noone ever shout on him but the feeling of being alone was always there.

One day ishita was sitting on the edge on the stairs and having a bottle of milk in her hand trying to finish it but it couldn't be as she hated it.karthik went to school and Mrs iyer was in office.help came and told her nth time to finish it so that she can make her sleep but still ishita was adamant.want her mumma to finish her milk and was sitting on the top stair waiting for her mother and crying.the maid took her inside many times but she again come and sit there .irritated by her action,she left ishita there only.

It was half an hour since she was waiting .till then she was half slept and was about to fall off the stairs.

At the same time Mrs iyer entered the mansion along with karthik and they got horrified seeing ishita at the top of the stairs half slept and was about to roll down.

They ran to hold her when the bottle from her hand fell down making them scare to wits.ishita was also about fell off when Raman picked her in his arms.she slept hugging Raman.

Mrs iyer and karthik ran to Raman and took the baby ishita in there hand.Mrs iyer hugged her and kissed all over her face.

She make her sleep and called everyone to scold for their carelessness.

Help- maam we always look after her.pata nahi kaise ho gaya.

Mrs iyer- shut up u all.agar aaj Raman nahi hota toh kya hota meri bachchi ka.I want a nanny for her.start searching for a nanny asap.now I can't leave her on ur mercy.saying so she shoo her everyone.

Next day itself,a nanny was appointed for ishita.Raman always use to stay near her as he likes her.moreover he was also alone.soon ishita too started liking Raman.slowly they started spending time together.Raman play with her,every time she cries,he make faces to make her smile.even he become ghoda for her.ishita spent all her day with him.Raman too forget his loneliness with ishita.slowly time start flying and ishita start going school leaving Raman alone.

Raman again start living alone.that's when ishita told her mom to get him admitted to school.

Mrs iyer got Raman admitted in school.he was a bright child.he completed studies of three years in a year studying hard and soon he reach the class in which he should be.

Ishra start growing together and they became best of friends.Mrs iyer always treated Raman as her own son.

Soon time started flying ,ishra were grown up.ishita was a beautiful girl of twenty one years while raman was a handsome boy of twenty six years.Raman topped in his school,then he went to college. And finally he completed his MBA and was trying to establish his business.while ishita completed her fashion designing.

Ishra were deeply in love and everyone in the house knows about it.and noone has any problem with it except ishita's bhabhi anika,who want ishita to get married to her brother abhi.so that her Bhai also get settled.she was trying ways to separate ishra and she got it at the day of the inauguration of Raman's new business,named ishra enterprises.he called Mrs iyer to cut the ribbon.ishita too come with her determined to propose Raman.while on the other hand,Raman was also thinking of same.

Ishita entered the huge office wearing a blue floor length anarkali ,her hair was open and falling till her waist.she applied kohl to her deep brown eyes with a light shade of lipstick looking ethereal like always.she was smiling making his heart skip a beat .her family was behind her.ishita came to Raman and hugged him tight,congrats raman,it's so beautiful
After much effort u r successful. Congratulations.

Raman smiled and hugged her back.everyone smiled seeing them together except anika.

Raman took blessings from Mrs iyer and hugged karthik.soon Mrs iyer inaugurated the office and they start looking around.

Everyone was looking around when anika's eyes fell on a room which was locked.she got suspicious and went inside only to see the room was beautifully decorated with heart shaped ballons and I love u ishita was written with Rose petels.she understood what he is upto.she went to Raman and drag him to the room escaping from everyone eyes.

Raman- what happened bhabhi.

Anika- what is this Raman.u r going to propose ishita.

Raman- haan isme bura kya hai.

Anika- bura kya hai.aukaat dekho apni.how dare u think to propose her.

Raman eyes became moist hearing this.

Raman- what r u telling bhabhi.

Anika- I am telling the truth.just because we treat u as family,tu toh apni aukaat hi bhool gaya.ek driver ka beta itne bade property ki Malkin se shaadi karne ke aapne dekha raha hai.don't u dare.

Raman- but I love her.he said very sincerely.

Anika- khadde mein daal apna pyaar.bachpan aur tha.but now she is grown up,so it's better that u stay away from ishita.warna bahut bura hoga.saying so she went breaking Raman's heart in zillion pieces.the difference between their status,which he has forget due to her love,suddenly come in front of him and he couldn't do anything other then crying.he was crying folding his legs to his heart when his phone rang.it was ishita phone.Raman wiped his tears and picked it.

Ishita- kahan ho mere buddhu kumar.I know I know u r so busy.bade sahab joh ban gaye ho.come to meet me in terrace at ten.I have a surprise for u.saying so she hung the call.

Ishita smiled to herself and said- yeh buddhu toh mujhe propose karne se raha.yeh kaam bhi tujhe hi karna hoga ishita.she said smiling and blushed thinking about her proposal.

Raman wiped his tears and finish his work to reach to her on time.the ring he purchased for her,he kept it back on his cabin's drawer .

At ten ,he reached and saw her waiting for her wearing a blue saree,his heart skip a beat seeing her but he make a straight face as if he knows what's coming and he was determined to refuse her.seeing him coming she came to him and asked flaunting herself more.

Ishita- how I am looking.

Raman- u called me to ask this.ishita what's this,I am already tired and u called me here for this unnecessary work.I am going.saying so he turned only to see her closing the door of the terrace.

Raman- what kind of childish act is this.let me go,I am tired.

Ishita came near and said circling her arms around him- ruk jao mere sadu Kumar.I have a surprise for u.

Raman gulped his saliva hearing this as he know well what's coming next and he wasn't ready to give her that pain but he was determined.

Raman shrugged her hand and said- let me go.I am tired.

Ishita pulled him again to himself and said- may be I can help u in it.Raman I wanna say u something ,which I want u to tell me first but as my buddhu Kumar is taking hell lot of time,finally I am taking the initiative.

Raman- ish,

Ishita- let me complete Raman.she said closing her mouth.she pulled a string and rose petals start falling on them.

Ishita- I love u Raman.I really do,marry me.she said in a go making weak in his knees.she was looking at him all lost while he was not less.he was also looking at her trying to behold her image in his eyes forever.he touched her face tracing all her features .she closed her eyes feeling his touch.she came forward for a kiss but Raman broke the moment and stepped back.

Raman went to the railing and stand holding it.ishita came and hugged him from behind and said- kaisa lagaa surprise. I thought u r taking too much time to propose me,toh Maine hi kar diya.waise bhi jab pyaar dono karte hai toh propose sirf tum hi kyun karo,main bhi toh kar sakti hoon naa.toh Maine kar diya.she said smiling while tears were flowing freely from his eyes.he wiped it and turn.

Raman- ishita,I didn't proposed u coz I don't love u.

Ishita- mazak kar rahe hai naa.main buddhu nahi banne wali.I know u love me.say it naa Raman,that u love me.I am dying to hear it from u.

Raman- samajh mein nahi aata kya.I don't love u at all.just leave me alone.I don't love u,he said angrily making ishita cry.

Ishita- aise kyun bol rahen ho,I know u love me.bolo that u love me.bolo bolo Raman,that u love me.she said clutching his collar.

Raman- I don't love u,infact I love someone else.thinking to propose someone.

Ishita crushed hearing this.

Raman- u don't know her,I met her in my collage.I was about to propose her today but she couldn't come.sorry I don't love u.saying so he ran from there not able to take it anymore.

Raman ran out of the mansion and start riding his bike aimlessly on the road while ishita was just sitting there crying.both were crying hard not able to take the pain they were going through.

Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera

Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera

Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu lazmi

Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Ishita slept on the terrace crying while raman slept under a tree tired of crying.

Next day,ishita woke up and saw him coming inaide the mansion.he was totally worn out ,his eyes were red and swollen.she ran to him and hugged him tight.he also want to hug her but couldn't.

Ishita- Raman kyun kar rahen hai aap aisa.I know u love me,I can see it in ur eyes,I can feel it in ur touch.please say naa that u love me.please Raman say it naa.she said taking his lips in her.she started kissing his lips trying to take all his pain.at first he struggled but soon he gave in.he too started responding ,he pulled her closer and start kissing her softly.they were hugging each other and kissing when he realised what he is doing.he broke the kiss and said- chee ishita,I never thought u will stoop so low to win me.keh diya naa nahi pyaar karta tumse.then why u r doing this.don't make me hate u.he said and went to his room.locked it and cried his heart out.

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Yeh zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maloom hai

Tujhko main kitni shiddat se chahun
Chahe toh rehna tu bekhabar
Mohtaj manzil ka toh nahi hai

Yeh ek tarfa mera safar safar
Khoobsurat hain manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu lazmi

Adhoora hoke bhi hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara ae dil hai mushkil

On the other side ishita was too hurt with his harsh words.she went to her room and cried.

Two days went like this .Raman start distancing himself with her.

One day seeing the opportunity, anika talk about ishita's marriage with abhi.

Karthik- yeh kya keh rahi ho.ishita loves Raman.

Anika- but Raman don't love her.and she is crying over it.can u see ur sister dying like this.I want happiness in her life.ask her what she want.

Mrs iyer and karthik called ishita.she has turned pale and was looking sick.her eyes were puffy and red .

Karthik- what happened ishu.anika was telling u r not good .

Ishita- nothing Bhai,I want to get married.meri shaadi kisi se bhi karwa dijiye ,just get me married.I want to go out of this place.she said looking down.

Raman who was coming out of his room heard this and went back before his eyes can turn moist.

Soon her marriage got fixed.ishita intentionally gave all responsibility for marriage arrangements to Raman ,she even connected all the CCTV to his laptop so that he can see her getting married to someone else.

Ishra were dying everyday thinking about her marriage but noone was stopping it.

Finally it was the day of her marriage.she was sitting beside abhi in bridal attire while raman has locked himself in his room not able to see her getting married to someone else.but he was seeing all in his laptop through the CCTV.

Flashback end

Raman don't know how to control himself when there was a knock on the door.he open the door and saw karthik standing there.

Karthik- where r u Raman, I am,he stop in mid seeing his crying face and the messed up room.

Karthik came inside and said- what's this Raman.

Raman- no nothing.he was saying when karthik's eyes fell on his laptop which was still stopped at ishita's face.

Karthik understood everything and said- r u mad Raman,agar itna pyaar karte ho toh kyun usse kisi aur ki hone de rahe ho.she too loves u infact she is madly in love with u.

Raman- kyunki main aapke driver ka beta hoon.

Karthik- what?? Now from where this come from.iska tumhare pyaar se kya lena dena hai Raman.if u love her and she loves u then from where this come.

Raman- but it's true.main uske kaabil nahi hoon.I don't deserve her.

Karthik- nobody deserve her more then u.tumhe yaad hai jab woh choti thi,tab bhi yeh paisa tha.but u r the one who brought smile back in her life after appa's death.woh tum the Raman jiske kaaran meri behen ne dubara jeena sikha.but jab se tum usse dur hue ho,woh Mar rahi hai.stop her before she dies .ishita sahi kehti hai,tu buddhu hi hai.pagal woh tera pyaar hai.aur pyaar mein koi uncha yaa nicha nahi hota.bas pyaar hota hai.aur jahan pyaar hota hai wahan kissi aur cheez ki jarurat nahi hoti.go and stop her before do this suicide.

Raman- par log.

Karthik- I don't care about people but my sister and she loves u.go Raman go.he said making raman realised what he is doing was foolishness.

He ran to the hall were ishita's marriage was being done.he entered the hall making ishita look at him.her eyes were teary and it start flowing seeing him standing in front of her.

He look at her,she look at him.they shared an intense eye lock.he start walking towards her,she too got up and start walking towards him.

Anika was about to stop her but Mrs iyer stopped anika.abhi too got up from his place.he tried to stop ishita by holding her hand but like she wasn't hearing to anyone .she walked towards him.

Ishra came closer.ishita cupped his face and all she could say was,I am trying Raman but nahi ho raha.and start crying bitterly keeping her head on his chest.

Raman hugged her tight and said- nahi ho raha toh mat kar par ro mat.if I can waste twenty years on u,I am ready to waste the rest of my life on u.bas chup ho jaa.he said wiping her tears.

Ishita- mujhe meri zindagi mein koi aur nahi chahiye.I want only u Raman.I love only u.tu thoda kam pyaar karega toh bhi main chala lungi.tere bina nahi chala paaungi.

Raman- thappad marunga agar mujhe aisi chut di.u always got the best and I will become the best for u.

Ishita- u r the best for me Raman.marry me.

Raman- yes I will,coz I love u.he said joining his forehead with her.

Ishita- toh pehle kyun nahi bola stupid ,mujhe kitna rulaya.

Raman- aisa nahi karta toh tera buddhu kaise banta.he said making her smile between her tears.

Ishita- haan buddhu,mera buddhu.saying so she hugged him tight,never to let him go.he too hugged her tight,never to let her go.

Everyone clapped for this divine couple while Mrs iyer said- achcha now finish it and let them get married.hamara peecha chutega inn do pagalon se.

Everyone smiled hearing this while anika went to Raman and apologize for her behaviour and plead him not to tell this to anyone as it may risk her marriage.

Raman- don't worry bhabhi,I won't tell anything to anyone.I got my ishita I will not tell anything.

Anika- thank u so much Raman and I am really sorry for my deed but I got what I did.my brother's marriage broke because of my foolishness.

Raman- yes I am sorry for that.and trust me I am not going to tell anything to amyone.saying so he went to Mrs iyer.she told karthik to take him and get him ready.

Soon ishra were sitting in the mandap taking nuptial vows to be together forever.they were smiling like before,eyes locked in each other,hand in hand oblivious to the world.they took round around the sacred fire and Raman filled her partition and make her wear mangalsutra making her his forever.

TU SAFAR MERA
HAI TU HI MERI MANZIL
TERE BINA GUZARA
AE DIL HAI MUSHKIL

THE END

ENTRY 11

SHATTERED

Sometimes trusting someone can bring you to the point where you question yourself for trusting that someone. You feel, was that even right?

In room dimly lit by moonlight coming from window, enough for someone to see a figure sat on couch. His stance stiff, as if life drained out of him. His eyes trained on laptop screen staring at paused video at point where camera showed face of girl dressed in bridal attire looking beautiful. Head bowed down, eyes downcast. Slowly tear trickled down through corner of his eye remembering that day. The day which every girl dream all her life, from where her world will change for forever, from when her life will be tied with someone, that someone who will share everything with her. He knew it, he knew about her dreams from start. Why won't he? When he, himself had been part of them. 5 years, 5 damn years they were in relationship. He knew her in and out. He knew everything and still he ruined it. He ruined her every dream, he ruined her, he ruined their relationship, and he ruined them.

#Flashback 1 year ago# (18 September 2015)

"You think we should do this? Girl in her mid twenties asked him worriedly who was engrossed in working with files scattered around him.

She glared at him. He and his workaholic nature, damn you Mr. Bhalla.

"RAMAN At last losing her patience she snatched file he was reading from his hands.

"What th... Raman's words died in his throat as soon as he lifted his head to give her peace of her mind for disturbing him but one look at her worry itched face and he swallowed his words, not wanting to make situation any worse.

Taking hold of her hand which she tried jerking away he pulled her slowly and made her sit beside him. Reluctantly she took place beside him but keeping some distance between them avoiding looking at him instead looking at their entwined hands which he held firmly. Not liking the distance anymore. Raman shifted closer to her and slowly wounded his arm around her shoulder and pulled her towards him. She let him pull her but kept her head down not meeting his eyes. Reaching out for her palm placed in her lap Raman took it in his own and brought it closer to his lips, softly kissing it, he tightened his hold around her, pulling her more into him, slowly rubbing her arm with his hand wounded around her, silently calming her.

"Ishita... He started softly, only to get silence in reply.

"Ishita...We have talked about this earlier...Right? He asked her again. This time she hummed in response.

"Then why you are giving it second thought now? He asked again while making her look at him slowly holding her chin. He stares down in her eyes which were brimming with tears. He nodded his head negatively, silently conveying not to cry. Leaning little he placed his lips on her forehead affectionately, hurt to see her in pain, trying to smooth her. Ishita closed her eyes as his lips slowly trailed down and he placed them one by one on her closed eyelids. Sob escaped through her lips as her control slipped. Words thrown by some people were too hurtful and as they kept buzzing in her ears even after trying hard to forget them.

"Who invited her? She is bad omen for newborn!

"Women like her should not be part of such auspicious function.

"She can't bear child in her womb!

"Poor girl!

"She must have committed sins to deserve this!

Raman hugged her closer, Ishita started crying on his chest as it became unbearable for her. He sat there holding her, calming her.

#Flashback ends#

That day he ensured her, nothing will go wrong. He knew her insecurities, her apprehensions, he knew them very well and he was the one who promised her to make everything right and now he was the one who broke it.

Ishita was different from other girls, she herself told him this and he had seen it. She had her flaws so did he! Even after her pushing him away he remained firm on his decision of loving her. Raman remembered their meetings one by one when loving her was not going to get easy got on getting clearer.

#Flashback 4 and half year ago # (23 March 2011)

She sat there on bench with closed eyes letting evening breeze caress her face the way they desire...Her face deprived of any emotions atleast for passerbys...but the person standing in corner leaning against trees with eyes fixed on her form, from the time she entered in park, sat on isolated place and dropped the curtains of her eyelids, shutting the door through which he could see her soul, knew better. He knew though her face looked emotionless and she appears rude to others but she was anything but that...She was wearing the mask of indifference hiding her turmoil from outer world.

Letting her have some time for herself he walked towards the bench as he felt he can't let her be just like that, on her own.

She was lost in thoughts. Thoughts! That from so long had been her companion, holding capability of bringing smile on her face at the same time were powerful enough to make her suffocate to the extent where it becomes tough to draw next breath. Solace was not she looked for when she everyday entered in park...It was her hideout, from everyone where she was not supposed to wear that mask of happiness when she was anything but happy?

All that was till a month back, till he decided to be part of it and had not started following her literally.

She felt movement beside her and knew who joined her, yet she let her eyes remain unopened. She was not ready to let him see depth of her turmoil because he could read her eyes even after her hard efforts of hiding her feelings where she was almost successful with everyone except him.Little did she know, he didnt need to look through her eyes to know how's she?

"You know you don't have to do this...Right?" He started moving his gaze from her face and now concentrating on the rose plants ahead.

She took a deep before saying anything to him, least she lashed out on him when all he trying was no harm but little help, help she never wanted.

"Same applies to you!" she answered him back implying he didn't have to be there every day.

He knew that was coming and he was determined to not end this today without having his answers. It was not hidden that she never wanted him or anyone for that matter to poke their nose in her business. Having known her for more than year, he understood some facts about her and most important one was she hated interference. Still there were some things nagging him from so long and he felt need of having some answers for his questions.

"You are only hurting yourself" he continued as if he never heard her.

"That has nothing to do with you" came her calm reply.

"Seriously?" He raised his eyebrow at her, failing to hide his sudden anger from his voice. She was for sure testing his patience's that he lagged most.

"Yes" she replied not giving dam to his rising anger.

"Today I am not backing out with your this attitude he said with determination.

"Your wish" Came her careless reply.

"Nor I am letting you to!" If you want to be stubborn then I'm no less, bring it on were his thoughts as he answered her letting her know it.

She opened her eyes and directly looked in his eyes, challenging him before confidently answering, "Try me"

He knew that look in her eyes; today he could not afford that determination of her.

"Ishita! He called out her earnestly feeling helpless.

"Why you are being this way?" When she shrugged and looked ahead he asked her.

"I'm like this only" Came her answer.

"No you are not this...you are not that one whom I have known...you are someone else...Someone I don't know He argued.

"You have not known me neither you...will! She paused and answered letting him know what he think he knows, reality was far away from it.

Raman calmed himself; knowing retorting will only worsen the situation. He said what he felt right, "You can trust me!

"I don't want to Ishita straight away told him she not intends to confide anyone.

"Please... Raman said helplessly.

"Please what? Don't plead me! I don't know what you want... Ishita said pretending not having idea about anything.

"You know! Raman made statement.

"No, I don't She stood on her ground.

"Ishita ... His voice held warning.

"Why the hell do you care? See I don't need you nor I need anyone. I'm good the way I am. Don't get involve into something that it will be hard to move on... Ishita said now getting angry perhaps pretending to be angry when he knew it was faade to cover her worry.

"Why do I care? Why? Raman asked even after knowing she knows the answer.

"I have told you this before that I love you ...haven't I? When she turned her face away avoiding the conversation he said it that caused her to turn and look at him sharply.

"And I have also told you that this is just infatuation...you will soon get over with There came her same words which she told him 6 month back when he had proposed her while rejecting his proposal.

"I don't need your certificate to know what I feel. Raman was genuinely pissed at her words now. He respected she not feels for him but everytime her commenting on depth of his feelings without knowing got worst out of him.

"I don't need you to reciprocate my feelings All I want and need is your happiness...Is that too much I'm asking? He asked hurt at her behavior.

"Why do you feel I'm not happy? "I am happy...I earn enough to live, have job... Why will I be unhappy? Ishita too realized that she crossed the line calmed little and asked him crossing her hands across chest and now facing him.

"Cut the crap! Raman saw her for minute and said it harshly knowing she want to still pretend.

He breathed slowly holding her palm in his hands he started slowly, his voice expressing sincerity of his words.

"Ishita...look I don't know what made you like this or what's there that is holding you back from living your life freely...I'm not asking you to let me be part of your life, Neither I am asking you to give us chance to know what's there in between us...All I want is your friendship...All I want is your happiness... I want you to let me be the part of pain you are going through...I want you to share what's there that is hurting you!

Giving her time to take his words he continued after small pause, "Let me be part of it ...I won't judge you...you know that...And I do know there are many things that are too personal to share and I don't want you to open up about them today...I ...I don't know how to explain to you...all I want to see you happy...anyhow...

"Why? Ishita looked in his eyes and asked one question that kept on nagging her from so long.

Raman smiled briefly at that. He knew that was coming but what he didn't know was answer so he answered her honestly.

"To tell you the truth I myself don't know the reason behind it...All I know is you have very beautiful smile one when u do not pretend anything ...One when your eyes reflects it... and I want it to remain forever on your face not that fake one...

"To be honest with you, I don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again

Raman finished his part but had no courage to face her, his words made no sense to his own ears.

Ishita looked at him thoughtfully for awhile and removing her palm from his hold standing up she spoke what she knew was best to make him understand without giving away anything.

"Raman...See I don't want to be rude to you...Thank you for thinking so much about me and my happiness...All I have to say is stay out of this...Stay away from me! More you start coming closer to me...more it will get painful for you...Brace yourself before things start falling apart! Bye

With that she left...

#Flashback ends# (23 March 2011)

That day was the start of their actual story. Ishita and Raman's story. The conversation that felt as end actually became start of something else as Raman's resolve of pulling her out of her shell became stronger.

Raman's mind went to the time when he almost thought he had lost her.

#Flashback # (23 June 2011)

Raman cursed himself for nth time. He snatched her only mean of solace. The day he interfered in her personal time was the last one when he saw her as later on she stopped being at that park. On next day when he went to his office early that was exactly opposite to her clinic all he could see was lock that remained unopened all day. He kept waiting in hope to see her but was disappointed as she never showed up throughout day.

It's been more than 3 months now that he saw her. 3 months...whole dam 3 months passed without any information about her...no one knew where she just disappeared. He inquired at every possible place even went to her building but got nothing in return...He just prayed for her well being in this span.

Knocking on door broke his train of thoughts.

"May I come in Sir" Mihika asked little hesitantly.

"Come in" came his emotionless reply when all he wanted to bang door on person that dared to disturb him.

"It better be important Mihika...coz I already told you do not disturb me till it's really important

"Sir...Miss. Iyyer's clinic is opened" He stared at her face for long time before almost running out of his cabin.

...

He stood breathless at door of Ishita's clinic. His eyes roaming on her maroon Sari clad figure busy in arranging things in her office. She surely lost some weight his eyes confirmed, she seemed weak as if woken from prolong illness. Dark patches beneath her eyes as if being deprived of sleep. Her stance was again giving him some negative vibes, she looked tired, defeated...shaken!

His eyes were busy taking fill of her when her hands stop in middle and she looked up. He could see surprise registering in her dark orbs.

"Hi Raman broke the silence and whispered softly.

Composing herself she replied, "Hi"

"Good to see you...Glad you decided to show up... Raman said his tone stern.

Ishita lifted her head to gauge his emotions, but his face gave away nothing...He made himself comfortable in chair in-front of her table where she stood on opposite side near shelf.

"So what's going on? He asked casually.

"Nothing! Ishita replied. Though she was surprised at finding him there and the way he behaved yet she not showed it.

"You do know that I hate lying...Right? Raman leaned on his elbows and stared directly in her eyes that were busy in looking here and there avoiding looking at him.

Ishita kept mum. That only infuriated him.

"Why on the earth you are doing this? Damn it! He said banging his hand on table.

Ishita flinched at that.

"Dare you run away like last time! Raman warned.

Raman without caring anything asked the question that he knew gonna hurt her, but he knew he needed to do that.

"It is still about that Subbu, isn't it?

Ishita's eyes shot up at that mention of Subbu from his mouth brought back all those memories locked up in some part of her heart.

"OUT! Ishita rose up harshly from her chair and said it through gritted teeth.

When she saw him still sitting she raised her volume, "Get out!

Raman sat calmly on his place without shifting an inch. His words did their work and he knew now it's going to be turning point, either she will allow him in her life or will throw him out of it.

"Ishita Raman called out her softly.

"Calm down... I'm sorry...Look I had told you that I don't want to share your pain or whatever that hurts you but as you disappeared all of sudden I went against my own promise to not interfere in your life. I contacted Abhimanyu last week when I couldn't get hold of your well being. Raman said guiltily. He was feeling guilty to do something like that but she left him with no options.

Ishita sat on her chair numbly. She felt angered when he brought Subu's name and she wanted nothing but throw him out and she was going to do that when she heard Abhimanyu's name. Abhimanyu...her Abhi...He shared that part of her life without her permission when he had promised her that it will remain in between them only. She felt nothing but shattered, betrayed. Her eyes filled up with tears. She sat defeated.

Raman who was watching her carefully felt bad for her condition. He stood up from chair walking across table he reached infront of her, kneeling he held her palms in his hand and he sensed them cold as ice. He felt scared.

"Ishita...Ishita...Please look at me...Please Raman pleaded; his own eyes misted looking her like this.

Ishita stayed mum and next second Raman saw her closing her eyes, she was about to fall from her chair when he held her preventing her fall. Ishita lay unconscious in his arms.

"Ishita

Raman picked up her and laid her on couch in that room. Quickly rushing towards table he fetched glass of water and came back to Ishita. He sprinkled water on her face trying to wake her up. Panic gripped his hearts. He just prayed to God to keep her safe.

After few attempts he saw her blinking her eyes and stirring. He let go of breath he was holding seeing her in that condition.

"Oh God! You Okay? I'm so sorry...Ishita...Doctor...let me call doctor...yeah Raman went on blabbering, his words came to halt when he felt her hand on his arm and then he saw her trying to say something.

"I'm okay...water...Medicines... He heard her whisper. Helping her to sit he made her drink water. He gave her bag which she asked for and he saw her taking out medicine from her bag and Tiffin. He saw her taking out sandwich and after eating half she took some tablets. She closed her eyes and rested her head back.

Raman felt terribly guilty for her condition. He just watched her silently. He knew him being in her life is giving her pain only instead of helping her in anyway. SO he thought its better if he would stay away from her. Deciding so he reached near door, he was about to step out when she called out his name.

"Raman!

Raman turned back towards her and saw her staring in space. Raman felt confused whether to go back or not. His inner voice stopped him from moving out. Walking back in room he pulled chair infront of her and sat waiting for her to talk. He saw her taking deep breath as if preparing for some battle. From some bits Abhimanyu told him he knew that it's very hard for her.

Ishita started telling him what made her hurt. Why she behaved the way she behaves. Why she didn't believe in love after what she went through. She told him about Subbu, the person she thought she was in love with how brutally crushed her belief in love. She told him how she met Subbu through one common friend. How slowly she fell for him, how beautiful it was going and how they decided to get married against his family's approval as his mother didn't approve their relationship. She wanted to wait but he insisted and in end she gave up and agreed. She thought him to be perfect for her the way he supported her dreams, supported her. Everything about him felt beautiful till that dreadful day when everything ended even before she knew. The day when they were about to get tied in sacred relationship, when they were about to get married she got to know what sort of person he was. Coward...Pathetic coward! He never showed up in mandap. She waited and waited for him to turn up till she got letter of him saying he couldn't do it. He wrote he tried to look past her inability of not being mother but he just can't accept it so he broke his every relation with her. He left her to deal with the mess alone.

A week before this she got to know that she would never be able to become mother, she was terribly hurt but she thought the way he supported her she will get through this with him by her side and that's why week later they were getting married but he broke her trust and left her hurt. This whole situation broke her beyond repair and left her dying every day. Depression that followed after this literally destroyed her, destroyed her will of living making her living corpse.

By the time she ended telling him her side of story she was weeping badly. All the pain she went through, all taunts she had to face because of her broken marriage, her not being able to be mother, humiliation of her and her family everything she had kept within herself till now was out that day, that moment and Raman cursed that person from bottom of his heart. He held her closer letting her cry. He knew she needed that. She needed to let go of her pain.

#Flashback ends# (23 June 2011)

That day she let him be part of her life. She accepted him in her life. After that there was no looking back. He made it mission of his life to bring her old self back. He kept on trying to bring genuine happiness in her life and at the same time not imposing his feelings on her. He never crossed his line and remain there as her friend that she needed.

Slowly things changed but she still never told him about her feelings and he felt her trying to guard her feelings. She was hurt in past and given that he knew she would try her best to push him away. But he was Raman Bhalla and he never backed out then how could he let go of her. It was hard but not impossible. He proved that with his efforts and unconditional love. He held on to his belief, he held on to his love and in end his love won over her insecurities, her inhibitions, her fear and she allowed him in her heart.

They got married after dating the friendship of their 4 years when she confessed her feelings, though that took lot more than efforts, yet they got married. His love was being reciprocated and that's all mattered. They were living their life happily though some people being mean never left chance of taunting her but his love never let her apart. After year of their marriage they decided to adopt child.

#Flashback # (27 April 2016) (Adoption day)

She was little apprehensive about this adoption as she feared she might will not be able to handle responsibility of child and how society will react. Raman like solid rock supported her, stood by her side made her understand that night when even after everything getting ready about adoption she was giving it second thought listening to some taunts.

Everything got settled and they went to orphanage to bring their child back. Raman insisted he would bring their child and she should stay home to welcome but Ishita being Ishita went along. The day that was going to be best turned out worst and Ishita found out something that shocked her to her wits.

There she met Subbu's mother, who seeing her started cursing her. Raman tried to take her away and he almost was successful in dragging her away when she got another shock when Subbu's mother said something that she never expected in her wildest dream. She accused her for killing Subbu. She in her rage said how her son died because of her bad omen.

"You are the reason my son is no more...Ishita...You killed him...

"He went to see the doctor for you...when...when he met with that accident...

"It's all because of you...

Ishita stood rooted listening to this. She thought he played her and now those revelations gave all together new meaning to what happened 9 year ago. She felt her head throbbing as it became hard to bear when next sentence of Subbu's mother snatched ground below her feet.

"Raman even after knowing what she did to your best friend how could you be with her?

Ishita looked shockingly towards Raman. He knew Subbu. He was his best friend; he knew he was no more that means he knew she was not betrayed. The letter she got was all lie. He lied to her, Subbu lied to her, Raman lied to her. They all played with her feelings. She stumbled back unable to take it.

"Look Ishita, I can explain... Raman tried holding her but Ishita looked at him as if she was seeing some stranger. She felt like she didn't know him. She turned and ran out. Raman ran after her but she sitting in auto went away. Raman who was running behind her saw her taking auto turned towards hi car parked in parking and followed her.

It was day when he last saw her. She never met him after that, never answered his calls. Never met him in person when, he went to her place. He knew for her trust came first before anything and he had broken that. But he had explanation but she never listened. He told her father to let her know his side of story. He told him how Subbu called him to hospital when he met with an accident and had very little time. Subbu took promise from him that he will never tell Ishita about his condition even if he dies. He had taken promise that Raman will send letter that will broke her, will make her feel betrayed so that she can move on and he will help her in that, he loved Ishita more than anything, more than his life. Raman should give her happiness that she deserves were his last words before he left this world. Raman was helpless and he promised his friend what he asked.

Raman never wanted to hide this from her but his promise to his friend always had stopped him from sharing truth with Ishita. That brought him to the point where he lost her trust.

#Flashback ends # (27 April 2016)

Tears flowed through his eyes remembering everything. He wanted her back in his life. His life was incomplete without her. He accepted what he did was not right but that did not lessen the fact that he loves her. He truly loved her and wanted her happiness.

"Please come back Ishita ...please...one last chance...I love you...I love you Ishu! raman said crying touching laptop screen where their marriage video was paused showing her face. They were happy, she was happy and he wanted nothing but that happiness back in her life, in his life, in their life.

At the same time in other part of city Ishita sat on chair crying bitterly looking at their portrait against wall.

"Why Raman, why?...You know I hate lies...yet you lied to me...You build our relationship on complete lie...you broke my trust...I know you are not complete blamable one here...but I...I can't forgive you...I don't know..What to do...I don't know She hiccupped while crying.

"I loved you truly...Now even I do...but I can't trust you...Raman...I can't...God...please help me...please.

Subbu smiled sadly looking from above at these two people. He knew both were neither right, nor they were wrong, it's just destiny and they're facing it. He knew both of them more than they do and he trusted them enough to sort and be back together. It's just time and efforts they needed to make every wrong thing right.

THE END
