IshRa FF || Wajah Tum Ho || Chap 6 - page 71 || 19th Feb - Page 31

Ishita was sleeping on the hospital bed when Mrs Iyer walked in her cabin, "Ishu.. Your lunch."

"Amma.. I don't like to have. Please keep it aside." Ishita said turning her face another side as if she was hiding her tears. Mrs Iyer kept the plate aside and caressed her har saying, "Ishu, I know from which situation you are going through but that doesn't mean you will stop eating. Right?"

Ishita turned at her mother asking, "Amma Subhhu didn't come all these days."

Mrs Iyer didn't say anything and looked down. "Amma everyhting shattered." She cried.

"Ishu, why are you losing hope? We tried his number but his number is unreachable. He must be busy somewhere kanna." Mrs Iyer tried to convince her.

"Didn't you inform his family?" She asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"Ishu.. I want Subhhu to know about this first." Mrs Iyer sternly said.

"But amma..." Ishita tried to say something but Mrs Iyer stopped her saying, "You don't need to think all this. When Subhhu will come, we will discuss."

Few days later, Ishita discharged from the hospital, otherside Ruhi was getting day by day. On a such day, Ruhi was going out from their house with Raman when Ishita came with her parents, seeing Ishita Ruhi ran to her and hygged her around her waist. "Ruhi..?" Ishita bend and came on her height.

"Ishita aunty..." Ruhi trailed her hand on Ishita's forehead, "I'm sorry Ishita aunty. You got hurt for me." Her small eyes filled with tears.

"No bachha.." Ishita kissed on her cheek and said, "Nothing happened for you. Don't feel guilty. Okay?" Ruhi nodded. "Okay tell me.. How's your health? Did you take your medicine on time?"

Ruhi nodded, "You know papa took so much care."

Ishita smiled and looked at Raman when he came to them asking, "Ruhi, let Ishita go inside. She needs rest now."

"Yes papa.." Ruhi looked at Ishita saying, "Ishita aunty, I will come to visit you regularly." And she kissed Ishita.

"Take care." Raman said when Ishita nodded with a slight smile and they left from there.

On that day, Ishita was sitting in her room, she was crying thinking about the change fate. How everything changed in a day, she recalled Subhu didn't come to visit her neither he called her. "I know Subhu, you don't want to marry me. And it's obvious, after knowing my medical isssues no one will accept me. I.. I have to accept my fate." She cried when she heard a knock on the door, she turned at the direction and saw Subbu was standing at the door.

"Subhhu.." She gasped and wiped her tears.

Subbhu walked in, "How are you Ishita?"

Ishita looked at him for good seconds, she saw his smiling face when she thought he didn't know about her health issue, so she turned her face another side. Subbhu took a seat beside her, "Ishita, I know you are mad at me. Actually I was out of town and there was network problem, So I couldn't contact with you. When I recahed here yesterday, I called you when auntyji told me about you. I'm sorry. If I would be here then I would be with you in that time..."

Ishita cried hearing his words, "Subhhu.. I.. I don't you Subbhu.. Go away..!"

"Ishita.. Ishita.. Look at me.." He made her turn at him and then took her hand in his saying, "Who told you? Ishita, I know about your condition and honestly... I don't have any issue with it. Ishita, on the first day when I saw you.. I just thought to be with you rest of my life. If you are there with me then I don't anything else."

"But subbhu.." She tried to say something when he said, "We can adopt a child. Right?"

Ishita overwhelmed seeing his nature when she cried, "Hey stop crying." He gently wipped her tears, "Just forget whatever happened. Always remember I am with you. Okay?" She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder.

One week passed, Ishita accepted her fate. In these days, Subhhu tried to be with her every time, he always made her happy so that she forgot her problems and Ishita started to live happy. On the other hand, Raman got busy in this office work and couldn't able to look after Ruhi and Mrs Bhalla didn't let Ruhi visit Ishita which unknown by Raman. On a such day, Ishita was getting ready as today she is joining her work. Mrs Iyer walked in the room when Ishita asked, "amma, did you know about Ruhi? She didn't come to meet me in these one week. Waise toh who aise karti nahi.. Humesha Ishita aunty, Ishita aunty karti rehti hai." She chuckled remembering how Ruhi called her.

"I don't know.. Shayad guilty feel ho gayi hogi, iss liye Ruhi ko yaha aane nahi dete. Waise yeh baat toh sach hai, aaj unn logo ki irresponsiblity ke wajah se tumhari yeh halat hui.." Mrs Iyer said angrily.

"Amma... What are you talking? Ruhi was a kid.. And inn sab mein kisi ka koi dosh nahi hai amma. Stop blaming."

"Really? Kya zaroorat thi uss din tumko sath le jane ki.."

"You know what amma... There's no use to argue with you." She said disgust.

"Sach karwa hoti hai Ishu.."

"You know what amma... How may time I try to forgot the things, you always make me remember about my disabilities." She said as a tear esacped from her eyes.

"Ishu, I don't mean it kanna.."

"Let it be amma.." Saying this Ishita walked out taking her car keys.

Ishita was getting into the car when she saw Ruhi was sitting alone on a bench, she looked around and didn't find anyone from her family when Ishita went to her. "Chotu?"

Hearing Ishita's voice, Ruhi gets happy, she looked up and hugged Ishita. "Ishita aunty..."

"Chotu, why are you sitting here alone? Won't you playing with your friends?"

"No.." She shook her head.

"What happened?" Ishita asked making her face her.

"Ishita aunty, what happen with you?" Ruhi asked innocently.

"What haapen?"

"Dadi asked me not to visit you. Who kehti hai, meri wajas se aapko chot lagi aur..." She paused looking down.

"Aur..? What else she said Ruhi?"

"And.. And she said, you can't have baby. Is it true? Kya yeh sab meri wajah se hua?" Ruhi asked curling her lips, Ishita pulled her for a tight hug. "I am sorry Ishita aunty."

"Sshh.. Chup.." Ishita caressed her back and tried to conso;e her as she was cryimh badly, seeing her in pain, Ishita also cried but she needed to be strong, so she quickly wiped her tears. "Rooh look at me."

Ishita wiped her tears saying, "Aapko pata hai babies kaha se aate hai?" Ruhi nodded in no. "Babies are god gifted. Jab mummy papa ko babies chahiye hota hai toh who God se bolte hai, aur phir God mummy papa ko pyari si baby dete hai, jaise papa aur mumma ko Ruhi gift ki thi..."

"Iska matlab aapko bhi haga?" Ruhi asked innocently.

"Of course.. Jab mujhe bhi chahiye hoga, mein bhi God se kahungi aur who mujhe de degi.. So, aap kabhi yeh sab maat sochna. Okay?" Ishita asked cupping her face.

"Then why did dadi say like that?"Ruhi asked when Ishita had no answer. "Say na aunty."

"Hmm.. dadi did wrong right? Okay.. I will scold her. Okay? Then dadi will never say like this to our Ruhi." Ruhi chuck;ed. "Why are you smiling?" Ishita asked.

"If you scold dadi, then she will scold you back aur phir aap dono ka mahabharat suru ho jayegi."

"Yeah that's true. Then what else I do?" Ishita asked in a thoughtful way.

"Let it be. You made me understand, that's enogh." Ruhi said smiling.

"Okay.. If Ruhi is saying so, I won't scold her dadi.. Now smile.. smile.." Ishita tickiling her to bring a bright smile on her face and then hugged her.

"Now go and play with friends. See..! they are callimg you." Ishita said showing her frends. Ruhi bid bye to her and left from there running when Ishita thought, "Mrs Bhalla shouldn't do that. But how will I her make her realise?" With that thought, Ishita gets inside her car. She was taking right side when her car hit by Raman's car who entered in the society.

"aiyoo..!" she looked at him and thought, "Ishita, ab toh tu gayi.." Saying this, Ishita gets down from the car and Raman also gets down. She walked to him nervously and going to say something when Raman said, "Sorry.."

"Huh..?" Ishita's popped out her eyes.

"I said, I am sorry.."

"It's okay.." She said shocked as she didn't think he would say that. "Actually it was my fault Mr Bhalla.. I was thinking something else when I hit.."

"I didn't sorry for this." He replied when Ishita sarcastically looked at him, "Actually that day..."

"Mr Bhalla.. Bhool jatey hai na jo kuch hua uss din. Jo kuch hua yaad karke kyu takleef dena khudko.. Meine iss sachhai ke sath jeena sikh liya hai. And Subbhu also accepted me. I move on, so you also relax. Don't feel guilty for anything." She said smiling.

"Thank you. Tumse baat karke dil se ek nojh utar gaya." Raman replied when going to leave when Ishita called him. "Mr Bhalla?"

Raman turned at her when she continued, "I want to talk with you about Ruhi.."

"Yes?"

"See.. I know, it's your family matters but Ruhi is getting accected and that's why I am bothered." Ishita tried to clear herself before telling something.

"Just go on Ms Iyer."

"I met with Ruhi and she said.. Mrs Bhalla didn't let her meet me and..." And Ishita told him their conversation.

"How can maa say her..! Okay.. I will talk with my maa.." Raman said and going to leave when Ishita held his hand saying, "No wait.." raman turned at her and looked at his hand when Ishita realised she was holding his hand, she free his hand.

"I am sorry." There was a awkward moment for sometime when Raman said, "Are you going to say something?"

"Yes.. You don't say anything to her. I know she don't like me and that's why she did all this."

"Ms Iyer.. You don't need to explain me what I will do. Okay?" He said angrily and left from there taking his car.

Raman walked in the house calling, "Maa.. maa.."

"Puttar.. What happened?" Toshiji asked.

"What are you doing? Ruhi ko kya samjha rahi ho aap?" Raman asked angrily. "Maa who choti si bachhi hai. Agar usko Ishita ke sath achha lagta hai phir uske andar darr kyu bitha rahe ho app?"

"Oh.. Toh uss Ishita ne tujhe apni maa ke khilaaf kar hi dia." Toshiji arrogantly said.

"Maa.. Kisine mujhe aapke khilaaf nahi kia. It was wrong and moreover aapki batein Ruhi ki health pe asar kar raha hai. Maa.. I know you don't like Ishita but please meri beti ko iske beech mein maat lao."

"You are saying as if Ruhi is nothing for me."

"Yes she is.. But Ishita ke mamle mein, I know Ruhi needs Ishita so don't stop her from meeting Ishita." Raman sternly said and left from there when Toshiji said, "This Ishita..." She gritted her teeth angrily.
