Part 3
Ishu supported Raman to their room and made him lie down and removed his shoes and socks, pulled the duvet over him. After making him comfortable she walked towards the balcony attached to their room. She was thinking about her life standing in the balcony hugging herself when she felt a hand crawling around her waist and hot breath fanning at the back of the neck. Before she could react she was pulled inside to their room.
Raman pulled Ishu towards him with a force that her back crashed on to his bare chest. Both shivered in their proximity. He slowly turned her towards him, her quivering lips were inviting him. He bend down and took her lips for soul soothing kiss, their first kiss. Initially Ishita was struggling to push him off, but seeing him giving no heeds to her protest she stopped struggling but didn't respond. Seeing her not struggling Raman smiled between the kiss and took her in his strong arms and carried her to their bed without breaking the kiss. Knowing where it is heading to Ishu tried to push him off, but Raman was way too stronger than Ishu. He caged her in his strong arms and began caressing her curves. Her still struggling made Raman loose his coolness,he dung his nails in her soft flesh making her wince in pain. Seeing him not paying heeds to any of her protest Ishu stopped struggling and let him do what he wanted. Thus they did the biggest mistake which Raman would never have done if he was in his senses, he marked Ishita as his and slept cuddling to her placing his head in the croock of her neck. Ishu was awake, tears were continuosly flowing from her eyes. She felt so helpless,
"I can't even tell this to anyone as for others we are a happily married couple"she thought
and sleep overtook her and she slept cuddling into Raman.
Next morning, Raman woke feeling some heaviness on his chest. He slowly opened his eyes and got the shock of his life seeing Ishita sleeping, just wrapped in a duvet, keeping her head on his chest and his arms embracing her in a warm hug. He rubbed his eyes not believing the sight in front of him.Hell, he couldn't remember anything. The last thing he knew was he sitting with Mihir and drinking. How the hell he came home, alas he don't have any answer. He carefully looked her and could see lots of marks on her shoulders and arms and dried tears in her face, these all told him the whole story. He felt so guilty for doing this. He was cursing himself for drinking this much.
Feeling some movement Ishita woke up. She opened her eyes, her eyes got fixed on Raman and he was looking at her. Both eyes got locked. Ishu forcefully broke the eye-lock and went towards the washroom covering herself with the duvet making Raman all more guilty.
After freshening up Ishita left the room even before Raman could say something. She helped Toshiji and Simmi in kitchen. Raman after freshening up came to the dining table.
"Maa breakfast.. mujhe office keliye late horaha hai.."
"Kya bhai.. now also asking breakfast from mumma.. sharmaavo maat tum ishita se hi pucch sakti ho.. mein nahi cheedunga.." Simmi teased Raman "Ishita bhai aagayi breakfast keliye.."
Ishita came with breakfast and served him the breakfast and left to her room before Simmi can tease them any further. She came down all ready,
"Mummyji clinic se call aaya.. kucch urgent kaam hai.. can I go.."
"Teekhe puttar.. tu ja.. Raman Ishita puttar ko drop karde"
Before Raman could say something Ishita denied,
"Nahi mummyji.. mein cab hire karlungi.. Raman ka office opposite direction mein hai.. unhe math disturb karleegiye.. I will manage"
and rushed out before Toshiji could say something.
"Aree aisa kya kaam aagayi.. bechari breakfast bhi nahi kii"
Raman felt bad as she went even without having her breakfast just to avoid him. Just then a scared Mihir came in. Seeing Mihir in the morning itself, Toshiji asked
"Mihir ki gaal hai.. subah hi aagayi.."
"Aree kuch nahi auntyji mein bas aisa hi aagayi..waise bhabhi kahan hai.."
"Ishita clinic keliye nikal gayi.. abhi abhi gayi.. kuch kaam tha kya ishita se"
"Nahi.. nahi mummyji mein bas aisa hi puccha" *mutters to himself* "Baal baal bach gayi mihir tu.. agar bhabhi ki haath mein mili toh tumhe zinda kaat deghi"
"Oh hello kahan khogayi ho.. yahan kade kade kya dekh rahi ho.. chalo office keliye late horaha.." Raman shook Mihir seeing him lost
"Haan chalo bhai.. bye auntyji.. bye simmi dii"
both Raman and Mihir left for office. On the way both were silent, Raman because he was guilty whereas Mihir was happy that he is still alive as he was sure that his Ishita bhabhi will kill him for sure.
In Ishita's clinic, she asked her receptionist to cancel all her appointments and rushed inside her cabin and looked the door and cried her heart out. She felt like she was used, she scratched herself trying to remove those marks he left on her. She was crying over her fate, she was angry on herself for being weak in front of him. After sometime when she felt light, she washed her face composed herself and immersed herself in work trying to forget everything.
Raman's situation was also similar, he was indulging himself more and more in work. Mihir saw this asked him the reason only get a huge round of scolding from the great RKB. At last Raman decided to talk to Ishita and clear this out. With that he left the office earlier aiming towards her clinic.
"Excuse me kya mein Dr Ishita se mil sakti hum.."
"Do you have any appointment sir?" Receptionist asked him politely
"Nahi.. actually she is my wife.. can I meet her now"
"Sorry sir I didn't know.. that way right and third cabin is mam's cabin"
"Thank you"
and he marched towards Ishita's cabin. He just barged inside the cabin. Due to the sudden entry of someone inside her cabin, Ishita jerked out from her chair. Seeing Raman there she became more angry.
"Kyaa chayiye aapko haan? Don't you have any manners.. don't you know you have to knock the door before entering."
This made the guilty Raman angry
"Hey stop your lecture.. mein yahan koyi lecture sunne keliye nahi aaya.. I just came here to apologise for yesterday.. Sorry idk how.. sorry" in an attitude
This made Ishita angry as she thought he is not at all guilty.
"Aree wah the great Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla mujhse maafi maang raha hai.. How easy its for you haan..Yeh accha pehle mujhe use kiya abh sorry bola.. sab teek hogaya..I won't forgive you for this..you have hurted by self respect.. koyi bhi ladki keliye aapni izzat aapni jaan se bhi pyaari hoti hai..Woh tum jaise insaan ko kabhi samaj nahi aayega.."
This made Raman more agitated
"Kya izzat and all.. aisa kuch nahi hota hai.. aur naa hi mujhe jaanna hai.. yeh kya ladki.. izzat lecture de rahi ho.. call girls bhi ladkiyan hai..." it slipped out from his tongue and before he could do the damage control he received a tight slap from Ishita.
"You disgust me Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla.. chee" and rushed out
Tears were flowing continuously from her eyes.
From that day onwards both started to ignore each other completely. Ishita used to go for the clinic before Raman wakes up and Raman comes back from office after Ishita sleeps.
