Hi friends back with new update .
Part 18
Both ishra started eating slowly down casting their eyes ,trying to hide the sadness and disappointment.
Simmi looked at Raman and asked " bhai when you will be leaving ."
Raman looked at ishita and then spoke " probably a week after your marriage after attending mihir's marriage ".
Ishita continued eating slowly while a tear was about to drop from her eyes which she wiped and excused herself saying she is done ,now going to start her work ,after she left, Raman too left but with saying anything.Simmi signalled Mr bhalla while he scolded her saying that because of her they couldn't complete their breakfast . Simmi didn't felt bad but she smiled and told " arey papa such a huge change is going to happen in our life and you are bothered about their breakfast, arey pyaar mein kabhi kabhi bhookhe bhi rehna padta hai gaalib ".
Mr bhalla ( smiling )- shut up .
Ishita directly went to her room as she was not able to control her tears ,she hided her face in her palm and cried bitterly ,she was crying and cursing herself " now why I m crying, I always know that we can't be together then also I let him come to me ,I let him kiss and touch me ,I did all this besides knowing relationship are nothing for him then why I m crying ,why I'm feeling immense pain ,why I m not able to think to be away from him ,why and what is happening to me ."
She was busy in cursing herself when someone knocked the door ,she got up and opened it .It was simmi ,ishita called her inside and asked the reason for coming .Simmi asked " ishita I m going for shopping ,will you join me ".
I- (composing herself )- no simmi I can you know na ,I have to complete my work .
S- ishita assume this as a part of your job ,your people are working na so you can join me .
I- no simmi mera mood nahi hai .
S- haan you can go with mihika but not me ,waise who m I to you.
I- why are you saying this ,nothing like this ,its actually today is weekdays and yesterday was Sunday ,that's why I m saying .
S- its OK.
Simmi said sadly ,ishita felt bad looking to her sad face and asked " achcha bolo kab chalna hain".
S- today evening .
I- ok, I will be ready .
Simmi talked to ishita some more about random things and then suddenly asked " achcha ishita what do you think about bhai ".
Ishita was surprised to listen her sudden question,she asked again to confirm"what you asked ".
S- I just asked that bhai tumhe kaise lagtein hai.
I- he is a nice person but speaks very little .
S-aur .
I- aur kya .
S- tell some more about him ,like how he looks ,what do you think of him .
I- he is handsome ,a dream boy for every girl .
Saying so she wiped the unshed tears which just formed in her eyes but it didn't go unnoticed by simmi .
S- how about marrying him .
I- (shockingly)- what .
S- arey ,isme itna surprise hone ki kya baat hai ,haan ya na mein answer Karo .
I- (a bit irritatedly)- simmi don't try to play with me ,I m already very tensed don't increase it more .
S- arey why are you getting angry, its simple question you just answer yes or no .
I- sometimes these simple questions turn to be most difficult question of our life .but why see you asking me all of a sudden when you know I m not from your society .
S(getting serious )- ishita I want bhsi to get married before he leave India .
ishita just looked at her ,she nodded abd continued " yeah I know you are shocked but I actually want him to get married as not bhai but she will bind him with me and papa ,and for this purpose who will be better than you .we know you very very ,you are a nice girl.
I- but how can I ,I mean you people are so rich.
S- and hollow inside .
Ishita look at her ,she was so sad ,ishita kept her hand on hers to console her when simmi spoke " that's not needed ishita ,ab to aadat padh gayi hai .no doubt we are rich but we don't have that peace of mind ,I m so worried about them .Ma thi to sab theek tha she has binder everyone with her love and care but I m not that good ,main kuch nahi kar pa rahi hoon .main chah kar bhi un dono ko paas nahi la pa rahi hoon ,I m not able to help them ."
Ishita felt bad listening to her broke down ,she kept her palm on simmis and asked hesitantly " can you please tell me what actually has happened ,don't know why but I always think that there is some misunderstanding between uncle and Raman ".
S- don't know is this misunderstanding or he was actually guilty but I can't see my father and brother like this .I was the bond between them but now I don't know what should I do .
Ishita just looked at her ,simmi continued" it was after noon ,bhai was in San Fransisco, papa has gone to Mumbai for some business work ,only me and ma were here .Everything was nice when I went to college but when I returned ,papa has returned home .I heard some choes in ma and papas room,I went to see what's happening .I saw ma was crying bitterly while papa was just saying " toshiji listen to me for once ,toshiji I didn't do that " but ma didn't listened to him and went out taking her car keys .
She took her car and went ,after that she never returned .After few hours ,we got the news that her car fell from the valley and crashed ,we didn't even find her body .Bhai returned from San Fransisco, till that time papa was arrested as his PA has filed an FIR for molestation. Bhai didn't utter a word for two days he was in shock ,I was all alone .After doing last right of ma ,bhai booked his tixs back to San Fransisco. I went to him and pleaded that how I will live alone ,why he us being so stone hearted ,then he and nitin ( nitin simmi's fiance is a well known supreme court lawyer )both tried and papa was set free .He was proved innocent in front of law but not in bhai's eyes .After that day I had only met bhai thrice when I went to his place to meet him but in there also he was just living ,I never saw him happy .
I- seems Raman love his mother a lot .
S- yeah he is mamma's boy ,being the first born that to boy ma pampered him a lot .She love him a lot ,she never scold him and fulfill all his wishes .
I- ohh .
S- haan , and he is not yet over with her death ,although papa was proved innocent but for bhai he is the reason for ma's loss..I tried to talk to him many times ,tried a lot to convince him that life goes like this but nothing stops ,we can't stop moving on ,we can't stop living but he has isolated himself .In this long term of four years I hadn't seen my bhai smiling wholeheartedly but yesterday I saw him laughing carelessly with you .
I- we are just friends ,he hadn't shared anything with me .
S- ishita I need to know are you people just friends .
I- don't know .
Listening to bhallas loss ,ishita was already gloomy and tears started flowing from her eyes when she told and realized that she actually don't know what is the status of their relationship. Simmi asked " should I ask bhai ".
I- no no you please don't ask anything ,if he will feel me worthy of his love he himself will talk to me,till then let it be like that only .
S- OK as you say ,but I will be happy to see you as my bhabhi .
Ishita blushed listening to her ,they talked for some more and then simmi went from there .Ishita then went to check Raman .She entered his room and scanned but he was nowhere .She stood in front of a huge pic of him and his mother,she was admiring the picture when she felt his hot breath fanning on her neckline ,she closed her eyes to feel him near her ,he slids her hairs to one side and dropped a feathery kiss on her nape ,she turned in jiffy and hugged him tight , he too wounded his arms around her ,both hugged each other tightly ,not leaving a space between them even for air ,they remain in same position for long when Raman felt that she is sobbing ,he tore her from himself and asked cupping her face" ishita what happened ,why are you crying ".
I- you will go ,leaving me here .
R- nope ,you too are coming with me .
I- how can I .
R- kyun ,you will not come with me .
I- Raman my amma ,appa everybody is here ,how can I go there leaving them .Can't you return to India .
R- (straightly)- I don't have anything here .
I- how can you say that .
R- ishita we already had discussed about this .
I- yeah but we didn't reached to any result .
R- ishita something's never had any end ,its just like that only .
I- nope raman you had made a wall around yourself which you don't want to break .
R- and you are trying to break that .
I- yeah I want you to break all the walls around you and enjoy the life ,move on in your life .
R- ishita I have not given you that right till now you are going overboard
I- then tell me what are my limits ,aap batao mujhe what I mean to you .m I really important to you or you are just using me .
Raman pinned her to wall ,and spoke greeting his teeth's ,"do you really think I m using you ".
I-(loosing herself )- Raman why are you not understanding.
R- because I don't want to ,nahi samajhna mujhe ,I don't want anyone between us .
I- but they are there na ,I have my family and you have yours .
R- I told you na I don't...
She didn't let him complete as she kept her palm on his mouth and spoke " can't you just give him a chance just for me .Ma ke liye itne saal nafrat ki , can't you do this for me for once only ".
Raman looked deeply into her eyes ,she too didn't gave up ,both shared an intense eyelock .Raman slides his hands into her hairs ,she closed her eyes giving him permission,while he bend down to captured her lips ,she flung her arms around his neck and pulled him more to her .They were still
lost in their own world when someone knocked the door ,they parted and Raman was going to open the door when ishita held him and wiped her lipstick marks from his face .He ruffled his hairs and went to.open the door ,it was help ,he has come to call ishita informing that Mr bhalla has called her .
She went out from the room looking at raman ,he too was looking at her retreating figure .She reached Mr bhallas room but he was not there ,she just started looking around the room and her eyes halted in a pic of senior Bhallas .She was observing the pic very keenly ,when Mr bhalla entered his room he saw ishita watching a photograph of him and toshiji very carefully ,she was so lost that she didn't noticed that him ,he walked to her and asked " you are looking very carefully at this pic ,anything serious ".
I- uncle I m a bit confused but I think I have met her somewhere .I couldn't recall the place and time but I had met her .
Mr bhalla - that's not a big issue ,she was a well known social worker ,you must have seen her in some function or in some NGOs .
I- may be you are right but I think I have seen her ,some days back ,not four years .
