Raman couldn't see ishita hanging in someone else arms, so he went to ishita and said -chalo yahan se, I am not feeling good.
Ishita -if u r not feeling good, then u go alone. I am not going anywhere. I am enjoying here. She said totally drunk.
Raman -chalo chup chap, he said and took ishita from there angrily. Ishita was trying hard to loosen his hold on her hand but he wasn't letting her go. He took her outside the disco and both went back to the hotel. Ishita was cursing raman while he wasn't listening anything. Raman took her to their hotel room and make her sleep comfortably on the bed. He sat beside her and said caressing her face -why u r doing this to me, u know how much I love u, still u r doing this to me, please end all this soon, I can't take this pain anymore. He said and cried holding her hand. He cried for long talking to ishita's sleeping form and then he too slept holding her hand.
Next morning ishita got up feeling heavy in her head and sat down holding her head.
Ishita -what the hell, kitna sar dard ho raha hai. She said and look around only to see Raman sleeping next to her.she got angry ,she was about to shout on him but saw her clothes were intact. She realised nothing happened between them, so she got up and went to freshen up ordering lime juice for herself.
She took shower and came out only to see Raman still sleeping. At first she thought why he is sleeping so much but later thought may be he is tired so she got ready wearing the with denims.
After sometime, her breakfast and juice was served. She had it alone and then called ashok. Last night they have exchanged their numbers. She told him to come to their hotel so that they can go out and explore the city.
Ashok asked about Raman, to which she just told that he is busy. And don't want to roam the city with her.
Ishita wrote a note for Raman and went out .after an hour or so raman got up only to see himself all alone in the room. He looked around for ishita and find the note that she is going out to explore the city. Raman was sad thinking she went alone leaving him alone. She don't even bothered to wake him. Thinking so he called her only to get no response.
Raman got up and got ready. He changed into his formal clothes and went to reception to ask for ishita and got to know that she went out with a man.
Raman became sad hearing that ishita went out with a man, it didn't took him a minute to guess with whom she went. He sat in the couch thinking about his life and mainly about ishita.
And to add to his misery, his mother called him, asking him how's their honeymoon is going on. Raman controlled his emotions anyhow and told her that they r enjoying very much. Toshiji wanted to talk to ishita but he told that she is in washroom. They talked for sometime and later hung the call.
Then Raman called ishita again, again to get no response. Dissapointed by her indifference, he went back to their room and indulge himself in doing his pending work.
On the other hand, ishita was having a fun time with ashok forgetting completely about raman.
Ashok was too enjoying with ishita, he was getting the clear indication that ishita is not happy with her marriage. He start thinking ways to take advantage of her, as he always liked ishita. But when he got to know that raman is such big shot, he thought to take some monetary advantage of her.
Whole day raman waited for her but she didn't even bothered to call him. Later at night, she came back all tired.she changed into her night wear and slept without talking to raman.
Raman was just too disappointed with the happenings, he so wanted to go back asap but couldn't as he don't want toshiji to doubt.
The next few days spend same ,Ishita was with ashok all day ignoring raman completely. Raman was just too broken, he has indulged himself totally into his work. Finally the so called honeymoon got over, Raman sighed in relief that now they can go home and finally get rid of this ashok.
Ishra reached home, toshiji was too happy. She blessed Ishra and made them comfortable, she has invited iyers that day, iyers were happy seeing ishita happy while Raman too tired to behave normally.
Again days start passing, ishita was all lost in herself forgetting totally about raman. Raman too has lost himself in his business. Toshiji could feel difference in Raman's behaviour but everytime she asked him about the same. He just ignore the topic saying she is over thinking.
One day raman was busy in his work when ishita came to him and said -raman I want a favour from u.
Raman raised his face and looked at her from top to bottom. And then said -tumhe mujhse kuch chahiye, tell me what u want.
Ishita -woh ashok mila mujhe aaj, he was very worried. Uski job chali gayi hai and he is looking for new job. Aap please usse Ek job de do naa.
Raman -sorry but I can't give job to anyone just like that, kuch din mein hamare office mein vacancy aane wali hai, tell him to apply. If he will be deserving, he will get the job.
Ishita -please naa raman, he is in acute need of job. Uska kharcha bhi nahi chal raha hai.
Raman -but I don't give job to anyone just like that, tumhare friend ko right way se hi aana hoga, interview dena hoga and if he is deserving then only he will get the job.
Ishita -please raman, ashok mera best friend hai, please usse job de do. He is deserving, he got very good marks in MBA, please raman give him job. She almost pleaded.
Raman couldn't deny her more and finally said yes. Ishita smiled and went from there hugging Raman making him smile.
Raman caressed his face and thought may be this will change her prospective towards their relationship.
Soon Raman gave ashok the job of marketing head seeing his qualifications. Ishita was so happy for ashok, he hugged ashok tight infront of raman making his heart bleed. He was trying hard to control his emotions but Ishita's indifference was just killing him slowly from inside.
Time again start passing again, three months passed like this,ishita again start spending time with ashok ignoring raman. At first raman thought to give her some more time to adjust but when Toshiji start asking questions about ishita being so careless about him. Raman had to stop her, he told ishita not to meet ashok again making ishita angry. She started fighting with him insulting him again and cursing her fate that he is her husband breaking him completely.
Ishra had an ugly fight that night and ishita went out of the house in anger. Toshiji was also not at home, she has went to her friend's house for overnight stay. Raman was also too angry to bother where ishita went. It was eight in night when ishita went out.
Few hours passed and Raman start getting worried for ishita. He took his phone and called on her number. At first she didn't picked the phone, but after continuous rings,someone picked the phone.
Raman -ishita where r u, listen I am sorry for whatever I said, please come back. It's too late,its not good to roam outside at this hour. He was saying only to here ,she is not anywhere out. She is in my house.
Raman recognised ashok's voice and said -ishita kahan hai.
Ashok -she is with me and stop being worried for her anymore, coz now she belongs to me only. He said making Raman angry.
Raman got angry hearing this and said -shut up u moron, warna zubaan khinch lunga, tell me where is my wife.
Ashok -usse toh ab bhool hi jao tum, abhi toh meri baahon mein hai but soon she will be in my bed. I am going to make her mine tonight .
Raman -khabardaar joh usse chooya bhi, she is my wife.
Ashom smiled and said -achcha, agar teri wife hai toh mere ghar mein itni raat kya kar rahi hai, Maine nahi bulaya usse, woh khud aayi hai, tumse ladhke,that means she loves me trust me more then u, so it's good that u forget her coz tonight I am going to make her mine. he said and hung the call making Raman shocked and sad beyond words. He throw everything in anger and cried, cried, cried his heart out. He was feeling helpless and rejected, he was broken beyond words. Yes he knows well that they r bonded by the rituals but ishita never loved him. Forget loving, she never acknowledged him as her husband also. Raman was just too broken to think straight, he so wanted to go to ashok's home and bring ishita home but was scared thinking what if ishita choose ashok over him. He just can't able to see her in someone else bed. He was sitting and thinking.
Ashok took ishita to his bedroom and said -ishita, I know u r not happy with ur marriage, u don't like that raman. So I am ready to accept u, tum usse divorce de kar mujhe shaadi kar lo.
Ishita smiled hearing his confession and hugged him tightly and said-thank u ashok for saving me from this suffocating marriage. I just hate him.
Ashok -but I love u, he said smiling to which ishita answered saying she loves him too. Ashok pulled her closer and start kissing her. Ishita too start kissing him back. Soon he took her to bed and start loving her removing her clothes one by one.ishita start moaning in pleasure pulling ashok more into herself while he was busy in making love to her passionately. At last he adjusted himself and was about to enter into her, when raman got up with a jerk, he was all full of sweat and was shivering seeing the bad dream. He realised it was just a dream, he couldn't control himself, he went out and drove to ashok's house. He reached ashok's house and was going inside when his eyes fell on two reflection falling on the window, by seeing it was looking like the man was hugging the girl from back. His heart sank seeing them so near, he went closer only to hear,ashok what r u doing, leave me naa.
Ashok -oh please ishita,let me do this.
Ishita -ok but only for once, she said making Raman shattered. He couldn't hear a single word more and just ran from there all crying.
