i will continue all my stories only if i get good response,its upto you now
part-20:
raman walked out of his room all dressed up to leave for office,he glanced at the kitchen where mrs.bhalla was busy in cooking
(ST):should i inform maa that i am going to office,don't know what i should do if i speak she will shout if i won't then also she will shout,preparing for a round of scolding he cleared his throat grabbing his mother attention
'maa mi office jaa raha hu' he said in a scared tone
mrs.bhalla walked towards him while raman was looking at his mother like a scared kitten
patting his cheek she asked him to have his breakfast
raman:maa i have to hurry up mujje urgent meeting hi
mrs.bhalla:raman first eat then only you will leave for office
listening to his mother's strict command he silently walked towards the kitchen
serving the food she took a seat beside raman
when he was about to take the spoon mrs.bhalla held his hand making raman to look at her
mi kilathi hu mera baccha ko,tears formed in his eyes listening to his mother words
...
appa:ishu kanna how are you,early in the morning you called me,we are coming tomorrow to meet you
ishitha who was in tears replied to her appa 'i am fine appa'
a father doesn't need a rocket science to know whether his daughter is ok or not,sensing sadness in her voice he questioned her 'sab teek hi naa kanna,thum ro rahi hu?'
ishu:appa you said don't lose your hope,win raman he is your husband,but i am failing appa,i am unable to understand him
appa:sadness filled his heart listening to his daughter words,'kya huva kanna?'
ishu:i am unable to understand raman appa,sometimes he will behave as if he is moving on in his life forgetting his first wife and the next moment he will behave that he can't come out of his first wife's memories
i can't stay in this loveless life appa,i feel like there is no hope to live this life,only anshu giving me some happiness and hope in my life
appa:aisa math kaho ishu,you are very strong,you should not lose hope
ishu:nahi appa shadi hokar theen mahine hogaya,lekin raman ek baar bhi meri tharah pyar sey nahi dekha
appa:ishu first keep all your negative thoughts aside,let both your mind and heart in peace,don't push raman to accept you,he has to realise beta
good things takes lots of time to happen kanna,patience is the key to success,it is in your hands to make your married life success
don't think to push away anjali from raman's heart,just try to get your place in his heart kanna
ishu:appa aab anjali nahi unka pathni mi hu naa,unka pyaar mujko milna hi naa?
appa:but she was his love and wife before kanna,think what you will do if you are in raman's place,just think with open mind
i will come tomorrow and we will talk about everything ok?
ishu:teeke appa
...
she walked down to the kitchen to see no one in the drawing room or kitchen she moved towards mrs.bhalla room but stopped listening to mrs.bhalla's voice
'mujje maaf kardo raman,i love you beta'
raman who was sleeping on his mother's lap got up to look at his mother confusingly
ishitha stepped back hiding from them even though she know it is not manners to listen someone's conversation secretly
raman:maa what you are speaking?
mrs.bhalla:i hurted you many times these days,i am sorry beta,i was just worried about your life
raman:mujje kya huva maa?mi teek hu
mrs.bhalla:kab thak rahengi raman anjali ka yaadom mey?
raman:maa i can't forget anjali,it is impossible i lived with her for 3years,i loved her very much,anshu is the symbol of our love,but i really trying to move on with ishitha
but i am losing everytime mujje time chahiye maa,but you and ishitha are forcing me to forget anjali which i could never do,but i promise maa i will try to move on with ishitha
mrs.bhalla: i know raman how much you loved anjali to what extent you went to get anjali in your life
but we lost our anjali,and i thought my son could never get happiness in his life after you started rejecting to get married once again
but when you suddenly married ishitha,i thought your life will be filled with happiness again,but when i saw ishitha geting hurt because of your behavior i thought you will turn away the happiness which is infront of you
i was worried for you raman,because of that i behaved harshly with you,but i know raman through what pain you are going,if it would be any other man he would have easily moved on with his new wife but you are my son who will not even think a minute before giving your life to your loved ones
i know it is difficult for you to forget anjali,but we can't live in past,ishitha is very good woman,no other woman would have treated anshu as her own kid
but ishitha loves anshu as her own kid,a third person will think ishitha as anshu's real mom,she is the woman with golden heart raman,don't lose her,keep an open mind i am not asking to forget anjali but i am asking try to move on with ishitha
raman nodding his head get downs from the bed while ishitha rushes to her room to hide from them
...
seeing his mother in the room,anshu rushed towards her wrapping his hands around her legs
'mumma'
listening to anshu a smile appeared on her face,picking him into her hands she pecked his cheek making him to smile at his mother
'arey meri anshu utt gayi'
'ha mi utt gayi' said anshu showing his smile
soon she got busy with anshu but her mind was still busy in thinking about her appa's and mrs.bhalla's words
...
ishitha walked into the kitchen to see mrs.bhalla preparing breakfast for anshu
ishu:mummiji tomorrow appa is coming to take me to chennai
mrs.bhalla:voh vishwanthji is coming tomorrow?
ishitha nodded her head to mrs.bhalla's question
mrs.bhalla:then pack your bag and anshu's also
ishu:will raman be able to live without anshu? she questioned mrs.bhalla slowly
mrs.bhalla glanced at ishitha and continued her work smiling silently
ishu:mummiji aap bathaya nahi?raman rahengi kya bina anshu
mrs.bhalla:when anjali was there raman used to leave anshu with her and go to states but after anjali's death raman was broken anshu's state was an additional sorrow for raman
i can't count how many days my son and grandson spent the time crying remembering anjali,when anshu started suffering with fits after anjali's death raman was so scared i can't go back to our place seeing raman and anshu in this condition me and bhallaji started staying with raman
mihika asked raman to be strong for anshu,as my grandson needs extra care
slowly anshu started to understand that his mom is not with him,but we don't know how to tell him that he can't see his mom again in his life
if raman disappears even for a minute anshu used to cry,if he cries he used to get attacked with fits,dho saal ka bache kaise ithna stress le sakthi
then raman started taking anshu to wherever he goes
after 8months anshu became little ok and then raman started to leave anshu with me only if he had late night meetings
after you coming anshu started living like a normal kid and raman started going to office without anshu,but i can't guarantee whether they two can stay without each for days
listening to mrs.bhalla words ishitha's eyes filled with tears imagining how raman and anshu must have spend their one year life without anjali
ishu:then i won't go with appa,she said without even thinking for once
mrs.bhalla:smiled seeing the change in ishitha,'koyi baath nahi puttar raman can't be with anshu always,anshu is growing he will be ok and raman also will be ok,because they know now you are with them
ishitha smiled listening mrs.bhalla's words
ishitha:mummiji i will prepare lunch today
mrs.bhalla:koyi baath nahi puttar mi karlungi
ishitha:nahi mummiji i want to prepare today's lunch,you tell me what to prepare
mrs.bhalla:do whatever dishes you like
ishitha:nahi matlab what you like what papaji likes in lunch and raman,what are the dishes he loves to eat
mrs.bhalla:laughs at ishitha making ishitha look at her confusingly,'ishitha thum raman ka pathni hu,seedha pooch sakthi hu thum,thumhara ka pathi ka favourite kya hi'
ishitha blushes listening to mrs.bhalla's words 'aisa nahi hi mummiji baas sabka pasand janana chahthi hu'
mrs.bhalla:the way to win a husband heart is through his stomach,koyi baath nahi hi mi thumko madath karungi,raman likes chicken very much
ishitha's face fells listening the dish name
while mrs.bhalla laughs at her again
'puttar mi mazak kar rahi hu,mujje paatha hi thum non-veg nahi kaathi hu,raman veg mey paneer butter masala pasand karthi hi,rajma chawal,raitha,sweets mey gajar ka halwa pasand hi uska
thum thayar karo mi thumko madath karungi
ishitha nods her head positively
soon DIL and MIL got busy with lunch while anshu was busy in playing with his toys under his daadu's observation
...
ishitha:mummiji raman abhi tak nahi aaya lunch keliye,asked ishitha who was waiting for him for the past one hour
mrs.bhalla:rukh mi call karthi hu
'arey raman thum abhi tak ghar nahi aaya,lunch keliye?'
raman:maa mi busy hu aaj nahi aavungi lunch keliye,yaha canteen sey kuch kaalungi aap kaalo
mrs.bhalla hangs the call and tells the same to ishitha who became sad
mr.bhalla who observed ishitha's sadness speaks 'ishitha puttar you never went to raman's office na take the carriage and go to his office,he will get home food and you can see the office
ishu:par anshu papaji?
mr.bhalla:anshu will be with his daadu and daadi till you come back,driver will take you to office
ishitha walks into kitchen to pack food for raman
...
at office
..
receptionist:seeing ishitha she greets her and calls to raman
raman:hello
receptionist:sir madam aaya aapse milne kaa
raman:arey meri maa kounsa madam
receptionist:sir aapka wife ishitha madam
raman(st):kya ishitha aaya yaha ,hey bagawan mera band bajane keliye yaha thak aaya madam
receptionist:sir should i send madam to your cabin? asked fearing about his reaction
raman:ha send her inside,said a thoughtful raman
raman(st):raman be prepared to handle jhansi rani's sword,evening i have to buy some cotton balls
ishitha entered his cabin with the carriage she brought
raman:thum yaha kuch kaam hi kya
ishitha:nahi aapka lunch laaya
raman:listening to her words he looks at her confusingly
ishitha:voh meri matlab,mummiji asked me to take carriage for you as you said you won't be coming home for lunch today
raman:maa bhi naa,i said that i will eat something in office then why she sent you
ishitha:why shouldn't i come to office,aapka kya thagleef hi,she asked him angrily
raman:arey meri maa,dont take your talwar here,saari employees hi yaha,meri izat ka dyan rako
ishitha:teeke,wash your hands i will serve food
nodding his head he walks to restroom
while ishitha serves food for him
..
settling on the couch he takes the plate from ishitha 'kya baath hi maa ney ithna saara items banaya aaj,butter naan,paneer butter masala,rajma chawal'
chelo raman aaj thumhara acha dhin hi,full use karo
ishitha smiles listening to raman's words
he takes a piece of paneer masala with butter naan and looks at ishitha who was waiting for his reply
raman:yeh tho bilkul maa ka taste nahi hi?
ishitha:matlab acha nahi hi kya?she questioned immediately
raman:acha hi lekin maa ka taste nahi hi ismey
ishitha:voh miney banaya aapka liye
raman looks at ishitha listening to her words
ishitha: i mean mummiji asked me to prepare,so i prepared aapke liye tho nahi banaya miney
raman chuckles listening to ishitha's words muttering under his breath 'pagli madrasan'
ishitha:aap kyou haas rahi hu
raman:why are you being so defensive did i say anything,ok you prepared food but not for me
that is what you are trying to say right
ishitha nods her head positively then negatively in tension
raman(st):kya hogaya jhansi rani ko aaj
seeing ishitha staring at the food raman questions her 'ishitha did you had your lunch'
ishitha nods her head negatively and then positively reminding what she was doing
raman:arey maa i understood that you didn't ate,but dont put eyes on my food,come and have lunch he said taking another plate
feeling hungry she too ate without any fuss making raman to smile at her antics
raman:i am full
ishitha:aise kaise full,halwa koun kaayengi
