Ishita wiped her tears ,washed her face and finally went towards the conference room all ready to face him after years.his harsh words were still ringing in her ears making her heart bleed.
At last she entered into the conference room and unknown to her,her eyes went to him.but to her surprise his chair was empty.he wasn't there ,neither to see her nor to curse her.
She adjusted on her chair thinking about him.her mind got divided in two thoughts, at first she was relieved that she don't have to face him but on other thought,she was disappointed that still he don't want to see her.
Ishita(st)-why Raman why .why u send me so far from u.itni badi galti toh nahi ki thi Maine,ki aap meri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chahte.she thought and a lone tear escape from the core of her eyes.she wipes it in a jiffy and tried to concentrate on the presentation, which has became impossible for her.
After an hour,
Mihir- ur project is wonderful Dr Joseph. Our company will love to give assistance to ur wonderful project.so I think should sign the contract .
Dr Joseph (ishita's colleage)- that will be great .ofcourse we can sign.
Ishita couldn't stop herself and asked- sorry to disturb u but this company isof some Mr Raman Kumar bhalla. R u Mr Raman Kumar bhalla.
Mihir- no,he is MD and I am his CEO.
Ishita- so why r u signing this big project urself, I mean ur MD didn't come or what.
Mihir- no,he came with me.but don't know what happened he just went.may be he has some important work.
Ishita- oh OK.must say ur MD trust u alot.I think bahut saal se honge aap unke saath.
Mihir- yes,since five long years I have been with him.
Ishita smiled a little and said- that's great .so how r u guys,mean how do u find Capetown.
Dr Joseph- I think we should sign the project apart from talking .what say Mr mihir arora.
Mihir- I also think the same.
Ishita smiled a little and said- ofcourse we should sign.
Soon ishita and mihir signed the documents.ishita excused herself and went to her cabin.she sat on her chair and called her junior.
Junior- yes ma'am.
Ishita- Maria,do I have any important surgery today.
Maria- not precisely maam.
Ishita- that's great,can u please cancel my all appointments.
Maria- is something wrong maam.
Ishita- no everything is fine.just has little headache,can u cancel my prior appointments.
Maria- sure maam.saying so she went.
While ishita was in deep thoughts,she was feeling restless, for something which she herself wasn't understanding.
Ishita- aisa kyun ho raha hai,jaise dhadkane bahut tez chal rahi ho.still he affect me so much.unhe dekh kar ek ajeeb si bechaini hone lagi hai.aaj bhi aisa lagta hai ki woh mujhse aa kar kahenge,ki ab nahi jeeya jaata tumhare bina.chalo apne bachchon ke saath phir se shuruwaat kiya jaayen.chalo ek baar phir ek dusre ke liye jiya jaayen.chalo ek baar phir se mohabbat ki jaayen.par shayad main galat soch rahin hoon,he don't even want to see my face,may be that's why he left the meeting.shayad unki zindagi mein mere liye ab koi jagah nahi .may be he has found a new partner.she thought and her heart skip a beat.
Ishita- nahi nahi ishu,yeh kya soch rahi hai .woh tere Raman hai,tujhse gussa ho sakte hai,alag bhi ho sakte hai but teri jagah kisi aur ko kabhi nahi denge .she said to herself trying to give some solace to her restless heart but the thing that he went without even seeing her was making her restless.after thinking for sometime she finally took her phone and dialled a number.it start ringing and ishita's heart start beating fastly.
After some rings the person picked up the phone and said - hello.
Ishita smiled hearing her voice and said- kaisa hai mera rooh bachcha.
Ruhi- mumma se bahut gussa hai.
Ishita- kyun aisa kya kiya mumma ne.
Ruhi- kya kiya aapne.apni choti si ruhi ko pure teen din baad call kiya aapne.choti si bachchi par itna bada zulm kiya.she said in a dramatic way making ishita smile.
Ishita- sorry bachche,I was little busy.but u know naa mumma loves u alot.she said with moist eyes.
Ruhi- I know mumma and u don't have to cry.I was just kidding,waise main bhi busy hoon.
Ishita- oh really ,kahan.
Ruhi- u know mumma, main Capetown aayin hoon.Papa ke saath,oh sorry u don't wanna know about Papa naa.OK main Capetown mein hoon.
Ishita- really Capetown mein ho.
Ruhi- yes mumma and u know it's a beautiful city. Kal hum gaye the ghumne .humne bahut enjoy kiya.
Ishita- kisne tumne aur Papa ne.
Ruhi- nahi Maine aur mihir uncle ne.Papa toh bas,let it be.aap batao kaisi hai.
Ishita- no no,tell me Papa toh bas kya rooh.
Ruhi- mumma,u r asking about Papa.since the time we start talking u never ever asked about Papa.aapne hamesha sirf mere baare mein pucha and every time I tried to tell u about Papa u stopped me but today u urself is asking me about Papa.kyun.
Ishita(st)- coz today I realised how hard I pretend to hate him but I still love him alot.unke dekhne ke baad ab aur kuch achcha hi nahi lag raha.she was lost in her thoughts when ruhi said- mumma,r u there.
Ishita- yes,I am here.Papa kaise hai rooh.thik hai naa,did he take care of himself.gussa toh nahi karte.he is OK naa.
Ruhi- no mumma,he is not OK.she said almost crying .
Ishita- kya hua rooh,why u r crying.Papa ko kya hua.she asked worriedly.
Ruhi- I don't know Papa ko kya hua hai.woh kissi se baat nahi karte.hamesha apne kamre mein akele baithen rehte hai.dadu dadi se bhi kuch nahi kehte,always lost in himself.I literally had to drag him to dining table so that he can have some food .mihir uncle Capetown bhi unhe bahut request kar ke laayen hai.he wasn't ready to come.he came here just for me and mihir uncle.
Ishita was shocked to hear all this from ruhi.she asked meekly- did he have any woman in his life.I mean any friend jisse woh baatein karte ho,apna pain share karte ho.
Ruhi- I have never seen anyone with Papa except mihir uncle.Papa toh unse bhi baat nahi karte.
Ishita- aapse bhi baat nahi karte beta.
Ruhi- no he loves me alot.infact I am the only one with whom he talks,mera sab kaam khud karte hai.mujhe subah uth kar ready karwate hai,mujhe breakfast karate hai aur phir mujhe school bhi drop karte hai.he do everything for me.mujhe cheenk bhi aa jaye toh doctors ki line lagaa dete hai.din bhar mere paas baithen rehte hai.Papa mujhse bahut pyaar karte hai mumma.but sirf mujhse aur kisi se baat bhi nahi karte.akele mein rote bhi hai.I have seen him crying hugging ur pic.he misses u alot.
Ishita was crying hearing this.
Ishita- why u never told me all this rooh.
Ruhi- because u have said that u don't wanna know anything about Papa.toh Maine bhi nahi bataya but sach toh yeh hai ki Papa aapko bahut miss karte hai.
Ishita- did he ever talk about me.
Ruhi- no never.but I know that he wants u near him.kaash aap yahan hoti mumma,toh Papa itne akele nahi hote.anyways,I can't blame u ,Papa ne khud aapko unse alag kiya hai.u know sometimes I want to hate him that because of him,u and Adi is not with us.but can't even do it seeing his guilt. Papa khud ko ander hi ander khatam kar rahe hai.his guilt is consuming him.agar Papa ko kuch ho gaya toh ,she couldn't say further and start crying .
Ishita- no bachcha,don't cry.ur mumma will not let anything happen to ur Papa.
Ruhi- aap wapas aa jao mumma.aap please wapas aa jao.she said crying bitterly.
Ishita- stop crying bachcha.
Ruhi- kaash aap yahan hoti.(ruhi don't know where ishita live as she never told it).
Ishita- where r u ruhi.tell me,mumma is coming.
Ruhi- huh,u will really come.
Ishita- haan beta,last time I couldn't come to u when u needed me but this time I will surely come to u.tell me where u r staying.
Ruhi told her their address ,ishita noted it down and said- just coming bachcha,don't cry.saying so she hung the call.
Ishita- I am coming Raman,I know it won't be easy to convince u.but still I will try.kyunki galti sirf aapki nahi thi.agar aapne mujhe divorce papers diya tha toh Maine bhi gusse mein unn papers par sign kar diya tha.agar aapne rishta toda tha toh Maine bhi usse bachane ki koshish nahi ki.har samay sirf apni takleef ke baare mein sochti rahi.kabhi nahi socha ki mujhse jyada pyaar aapne kiya tha .ruhi se baat karti rahi but aapke baare mein kabhi nahi pucha.meri bhi galti thi Raman. Aap akele khud ko saza kyun de rahen hai.shayad kismat hume phir ek mauka dena chahti hai,so this time I will give myself to our relationship.aapko unn andheron se nikal kar paaungi taaki hamari zindagi mein ujala ho sake .hamari tanhaiyan muskurane lagen.she thought to herself and went out of her cabin.
That's all for now .enjoy and do comment and hit like.will wait for it.
