Mihir got shocked hearing this and said-kya kaha aapne bhai.
Raman looked down and said-yes it's the only truth with which I am struggling from all these days.
Mihir-u r kidding naa.
Raman nodded in no.
Mihir-how can that be possible. I saw u two together, u look perfect couple. Bhabhi is always with u to support u in anything and everything and even u always there to care for her, pamper her. Aap Ek aansu nahi aane dete bhabhi ko aankh mein. I saw u worried when she had fever. I remember u wake up whole night just to take care of her. They way u hug her, the way u comfort her, it screams thay u love her to no limits. Then why u r telling that u don't love her.
Raman -yes it's true that I can't see her in tears,uska ek aansu mujhe bechain kar deta hai. Uski ek takleef mujhe kai takleef deti hai. I don't want her ever to get hurt in anyway, but that's because I care for her. Main nahi dekh sakta usse takleef mein. Because I care for her.
Mihir-no bhai, u can't see bhabhi in pain coz u love her. U remember that day when simmi and bhabhi went to shopping mall and we heard about an accident. U got panicked thinking about bhabhi, yes I know u were worried for simmi too. But the way u behaved for bhabhi, that's love bhabhi. That's pure love. I don't know why u r not realising but u love her, alot. And we all could see it.
Raman -nahi, I don't love her. Agar pyaar karta toh kyun hamesha usse dur bhaagta, why I am not able to take my relationship ahead. Mujhe pata hai every time I reject her, I broke a little inside her. Woh roti hai mere liye aur usse rota dekh main bhi rota hoon. But still I can't give her what she want from me. I am not able to surrender myself to her, just the way she easily do. I love the way she cuddles into me, the way she hide me into herself, still I can't love her back. Agar pyaar karta hota toh usse woh pyaar de paata jiski woh haqdaar hai. Mihir, she is my wife and she deserves everything in life which is mine but still I am not able to give her myself. Just because I don't love her. He said and cried.
Mihir was shocked to see such a vulnerable raman. He can see and feel that Raman loves ishita alot but not understanding what is stopping him for realising his love for her.
Mihir went close to him and said -whats the problem bhai.
Raman -i don't know what's the problem. U know I know that she loves me to no end but still I can't believe in her love. Mujhe lagta hai kaise woh mujh jaise insaan se kaise pyaar kar sakti hai. I have never given her anything other then sorrow. At first I was a rock, she loved me and put life in me. Then she left everything and come here with me. Meri family ko apna banaa liya, became mother to my siblings.even given me enough space to adjust suppressing her every wish her every desire. She has done every damn thing for me.aur main kya kar raha hoon. I can't even love her back. I feel so small infront of her. Uske pyaar ka badla usse takleef pahuncha kar de raha hoon. I am not able to love her back the way she loves me. Apni hi nazaron mein chota hota jaa raha hoon, aur woh badi. I don't know if I can ever love her the way she loves me yaa phir iss tarah hamesha adhura rahunga, hamesha hamare rishte ko adhura rakhunga.
Mihir-aakhir kyun aisa kar rahe ho Aap bhai, if u knows well that bhabhi loves u alot, if u also cares for her equally then why u r not giving herself which she deserves. I think u should try atleast.
Raman -i don't know, but I think I am not capable of loving her back. May be I am not good enough for her. What u think I didn't tried.i tried to went closer to her but everytime I went close to her all I could feel that I can't love her. Mujhe woh mahaan lagti hai who loves me beyond limits. I am not able to reciprocate her feelings. Main izzat kar pata hoon uski care kar paata hoon par usse pyaar nahi kar paa raha. I am trying mihir, I am trying hard but the feeling that she did a favour by loving me is not going out of my system. Uska pyaar, pyaar nahi taras lagta hai mujhe, aur meri feelings uske pyaar ke saamne bahut choti. I know I may be wrong but I am not able to overcome this feeling.
Mihir don't know what to say to him. He was getting that Raman is fighting within himself to realise his feelings for ishita but not understanding that whatever he feels for ishita is actually love nothing else.
Mihir-i know bhai, u r confused seeing unconditional love of bhabhi for u, coz now a days no-one loves anyone the way she loves u, but don't worry bhai, I will make u understand that u also loves her the same way she loves u. Yeh sirf aapki samajh ka pher hai, pyaar toh Aap karte ho hi bhabhi se, just see how much time u take to realise it. thinking so he asked-if u think that u don't love bhabhi, then why u marry her.
Raman -coz she loves me,tumhe samajh mein nahi aa raha hai. She loved me madly and hopelessly. mujhse bahut pyaar karti hai woh. she fell in love with me when I was half dead,dont know how but she loved me when even I wasn't in my senses, apni shaadi chod kar aa gayi mere liye, she was ready to live with me even if I never recovered. and when I recovered she was ready to leave me knowing I am the Raman Kumar bhalla. Mujhse itna pyaar karti thi, ki mere liye mujhe hi chodne ko taiyaar thi.
Mihir-toh chod kyun nahi diya aapne unhe.
Raman -kaise chod deta, woh pagalon ki tarah pyaar karti hai mujhse, kaha aap jao I will not trouble u but will not marry anyone else also. Aisa hota hai kya,she was ready to live all alone whole life ,apni baraat wapas lautane ko taiyaar thi, zindagi bhar sabke taane sunne ko taiyaar thi but wasn't ready to marry anyone else. Main kaise usse akela chod deta,she loved me madly, she did so much for me.isliye shaadi ki usse, Kyunki akela nahi chodega sakta tha usse.woh pyaar karti hai mujhse, mar jaati mere bina. He was saying when they heard,toh aapne mujhpe taras kha kar shaadi kar li mujhse.
Raman and mihir turned to the door and got shocked to see ishita standing on the door with teary eyes.
Raman looked at mihir and mihir said-bhabhi, it's not like that, it's just bhai is bit confuse.
Ishita looked at Raman and said-confuse, shaafi ke dedh mahine baad bhi Aap confuse ho that u lovee or not. But I am not confuse raman. I got to know answer of my every question. I was thinking why raman is running away from me and see today I got the answer. Raman mujhse iss liye bhaagne hai coz he don't love me. He marry me out of charity. Pyaar nahi kiya daya ki hai mujh par. She said looking at Raman with accusing eyes while tears were flowing endlessly from her eyes.
Raman -ishita, it's not like that baba, see I can explain.
Ishita showed her palm and said-no raman, ab nahi. Now I don't want any explanation. Ab kuch nahi chahiye mujhe aapse, now all I want is to just go away from here. Saying so she ran out of the room.
Raman and mihir too ran behind her.ishita was going downstairs crying. She wasn't understanding what is happening in her life. The person whom she loved so much doesn't love her. She don't know where to go and cry her heart out. She was going downstairs and suddenly her leg got stuck in her saree resulting her to fell off the stairs.
Raman and mihir ran to save her, but she went down hitting her head on various stairs.
Raman saw it and screamed in horror-ishita.
