Ishra ss-meri mannat tu#4,pt 28 on pg 136 updt on Dec 14 - Page 44

Raman opened the box and said -papa. Ishita was shocked hearing this and said -how did u know that uncle gave this.

Raman took out the watch from the box along with the chocolates kept in the box. His eyes were moist while hands were shivering. He took out the beautiful watch and said showing it to ishita-when I was small, I went to market with papa, there I saw this watch, I want that watch but papa told me that he will gift me this watch when I will pass my tenth with flying colours and see today he gifted me this watch and these chocolates, he use to bring for me always as he knows these r my favourites, and when he went leaving us, I completely stopped eating chocolates and see today he again gifted me chocolates. He said with moist eyes seeing at the watch and chocolates.

Ishita smiled seeing him so emotional and ran to him. She hugged him tight and caressed his back.

Raman hugged her tight and said -tumhe kaise har baar pata chal jaata hai that I need ur support. Har samay sahi waqt par aa jaati ho mera saath dene. He said and took her in a bone crushing hug.

They stayed in each other's arms for sometime and then Raman broke the hug. He showed ishita the watch and said -dekho, sundar hai naa.

Ishita nodded in yes and said -bahut sundar hai and as uncle gifted this, bahut precious bhi hai.

Raman -pehenao mujhe. He said giving it to ishita.

Ishita gave it back to him and said -i think uncle ji ko haq hai pehenane ka.

Raman look at her with surprised eyes hearing it when ishita said -yes Raman, aapko ek baar unse baat karni chahiye, at least thanks bolna chahiye.

Raman -but how, I misbehaved with him always. Main kaise jaun ,aur kyun jaun.he left me alone.

Ishita -still he is ur father, Ek baar baar kar lijiye. I don't much about all this, but I can see u still crave for his love and he also wants to love u. Subah bhi he wanted to congratulate u, but aapne suna nahi, I think u should go and talk to him once. She said making Raman think. He thought for a while and went to his room. He was there alone arranging the room and his family was nowhere. Neither his wife nor his daughters.

Raman felt bad seeing his father arranging the room, he remember how he use to mess up the room while his mother use to arrange it.

Raman -sab kuch kitna badal gaya papa, Aap badal gaye, aapki wajah se hum badal gaye, hamara rishta badal gaya. He was standing there and was thinking when Mr bhalla saw raman on the door and said -raman,tu yahan.

Raman look at him and said -woh main, woh bas, main toh. He was stammering when Mr bhalla said-both -ander to aa.

Raman -aap baahar aa jaiye.

Mr bhalla nodded and both went to the terrace. Mr bhalla settled on the railing and said -haan bol.

Raman -wob main, bas thanks bolne aaya tha, for the watch and these chocolates.

Mr bhalla -isme thanks ki kya baat hai puttar, tujhe wahin mila joh tu deserve karta hai. Bahut naainsaafi ki hai Maine tere saath, par main majbur tha. I had to take decision to choose between Toshiji and her. Toshiji usse jyada strong thi and she had u, while Reena don't have anyone else, woh pregnant thi aur uske gharwalon ne usse baahar phenk diya tha, I had to choose her over u. Coz she was also my responsibility like u two were. He was saying when Raman said -i don't want to hear ur apology, kyunki joh aapne kiya uski maafi ki umeed mat rakhiyega mujhse .i will never forgive u. Woh toh ishita ne kaha that I should thank u toh main aa gaya, but it doesn't mean that I have forgiven u.

Mr bhalla -ishita, bahut pyaar bachchi hai aur bahut samajhdaar bhi naa.she knows u more then anyone else.

Raman -she have seen me in pain and she is the one who bring me out of those darkness. Usne aur uske parent ne bahut kiya hai mere liye. He was saying when Mr bhalla asked -u love her.

Raman looked at him, he asked again-tum pyaar karte ho usse.

Raman nodded in yes.

Mr bhalla -woh roti hai toh takleef hoti hogi naa.

Raman nodded in yes.

Mr bhalla -uski aankhon mein kabhi apne liye nafrat dekh paoge.

Raman nodded in no while his eyes turned moist.

Mr bhalla -meri bhi yahin problem hai, I can't see toshiji in pain, and can't see hatred in her eyes, kyunki woh mera pyaar hai, pehla aur aakhiri pyaar. Yeh meri badkismati hai that I have to leave her but only I knew that how alone I am without her.

Raman -agar maa aapka pyaar hai toh aapki dusri wife aapki kya hai.

Mr bhalla -woh meri galti thi, woh Ek galti jisse main akela chod paaya, coz she was my responsibility. Khair I know u r not interested in forgiving me, I am not asking it either coz I know it's not easy to forgive me.

Raman turned to him and said -toh Aap kya chahte hai mujhse.

Mr bhalla -i just want u to live ur life peacefully with ur mother and ishita, I want u to keep ur mother always happy, coz I couldn't keep her happy aur ek Aakhiri cheez joh main tumse chahta hoon. Never ever hurt ur gudiya, please kabhi usse saath galti se bhi galat mat karna,bahut takleef hogi usse bhi aur tumhe bhi, usse takleef mein dekh kar. U know what is the worst feeling in life, to see ur loved one in pain and knowing that u r the reason of their pain and still can't do anything for them. I never want u to go through what I am going through. Main nahi kahunga ki meri galti nahi thi but more then mine it was my destiny's fault which broke my family. So I just want u to be always loyal to ur partner and I really want u to be happy always, just be happy raman. Bhool jao mere dhokhe ko actually just forget me totally , just remember that a beautiful future is waiting for u. He said with moist eyes while raman's eyes too turned teary hearing to him. He looked at his father and hugged him tight. Mr bhalla hugged him back and said -apne dhokhebaaz papa ke baare mein sochne chod do Raman, please mere pyaare wale raman ban jao, Itni hatred achchi nahi, nafrat bahut buri cheez hoti hai puttar, woh Ek din tumhe wahin bana deti hai jisse tum nafrat karte ho and I never want to see u like me. So please stop hating everyone and start loving all. God has given u a golden chance to sooth all ur pain, ishita ko hamesha khush rakhna, never let her cry. Please puttar sab purana bhool jao, bas ishita aur apni maa ke baare mein socho.

Raman -cant u come back to us papa, we really miss u alot. We love u alot. He said crying hugging his father to which Mr bhalla replied -i want to, but I can't. Tumhari maa ko aur takleef nahi de sakta. She can't see me with Reena and I can't leave her. So it's better ki joh jaisa hai waisa hi rahen, bas tum badal jao. Yeh gussa chod do, zindagi se pyaar karo aur ishita ko apni zindagi banao. He said and pecked Raman's forehead. He closed his eyes feeling at peace after many years of pain.

Both cried for long and when they felt light, they sat together, Mr bhalla make him wear the watch and feed him the chocolate. Raman was too happy being with his father and so was Mr bhalla, while she was happily admiring them. She went down happily and told about it to toshiji.

Toshiji got happy hearing this and kissed ishita's forehead and said -its all because of u, puttar. Tu hi mere Raman ki zindagi mein roshni le kar aayi hai. She said and hugged ishita tight while she too snuggle into toshiji.

After sometime raman too came back in the room and saw toshiji hugging ishita. He smiled and went to them. He hugged both of them and closed his eyes. Toshiji was happy seeing the peace on his face after ages while Mr bhalla smiled seeing them together through the window.

Soon it was evening, everyone got ready wearing new clothes. Ishita too wore a pink patiala suit with paranda along with long earrings and was flaunting herself roaming around the house. Everyome was smiling seeing her pinching her cute cheeks while she was looking for raman. She asked about Raman from his cousins and went to see Raman, only to see her again with harpreet ,talking and smiling.

Ishita got angry seeing raman with harpreet ,she walked to him with a straight face and said holding his arms -raman mujhe aapse baat karni hai.

Raman -tum chalo, main abhi aata hoon.

Ishita hold his arms tight and said poking in his skin-mujhe abhi aapse baat karni hai ,chaliye.she said and was taking Raman from there when Harpreet said pinching ishita cheeks -how cute she is, kaun ho yeh pyaari bachchi.

Ishita got angry hearing this and said -main raman ki votti hoon, now will u let us talk alone. She said and take away raman while Harpreet's mouth open in wide.

Ishita took him to a corner and make him stand, Raman was looking at her cute expression smiling while she was just too angry to notice anything.

They stayed for sometime like that and then Raman said -do u even realised what u have told to her, ki kaun ho tum meri.

Ishita look at him and said -i don't care, bahut fikar hai naa uski, meri koi fikar nahi. I got ready for u, socha aap dekhenge toh khush honge but no, u r all into her, mujhe baat hi nahi karni aapse, I am going. She was saying and hitting him continuously and then turned to go only to be pulled by him, she landed on his chest and he wrapped her in his arms.

Ishita -raman chodiye mujhe, I am going. She said hitting him while he was holding her tight smiling.

Raman -tujhe pata hai votti matlab kya hota hai.

Ishita -i don't know and I don't want to know either, mujhe bas itna Pata hai that I want to go from here. She said and was struggling to release herself from his hold when he said -votti matlab biwi, sabko lagta hai ki tu meri biwi hai. He said making ishita stop struggling and look at him.

Raman -kya hua, ab nahi maregi.

Ishita -sab mujhe aapki biwi samajh rahe hai ,aap ne sabko sach kyun nahi bataya.

Raman -kaisa sach.

Ishita -yahin that I am not ur wife.

Raman put his hands on her shoulder and said -kyunki I want to make u my wife. He said making ishita look down blushing.

Raman make her look at him raising her face by her chin and asked -what, do u want to be my wife.

Ishita -main kaise, main toh kitni choti hoon.

Raman smiled at her cuteness and said -abhi nahi buddhu, when we grow up. Jab tum 21 ki aur main 24 ka hounga, then I will propose u officially and will marry u,tum shaadi karogi naa mujhse. He said looking at her.

Ishita was just looking down blushing, Raman was waiting for her answer when they heard, choas around the house.

Ishra ran to the backyard only to see his grandfather laying on the ground and everyone was surrounding him.

Ishra too ran to him, his grandfather was unconscious and everyone was panicking, ishita got scared seeing this and side hugged Raman and asked -dadu ko kya hua raman.

Raman hide her in him and said -nothing bachcha, dadu will be fine. Then he looked at his mother and told her to be with ishita while he ran inside with other people taking his dadu inside.

Soon doctor was called, he checked him and said -its massive heart attack, we have to take him to hospital.

Everyone nodded and called ambulance for him.

Soon he was taken to hospital, all the family members and almost the villagers have gathered there and was waiting for some good news.

After sometime, doctor came and said-he has very less time, he is calling for raman, kaun hai Raman. Ander jaayen.

Raman turned and look at his family who r broken by this news. All tell him to go inside but he don't have courage to see his dadu like this. At last Mr bhalla took raman to the room, all the family members went inside with him.

All start crying seeing the condition of raman's grandfather. He called raman to him and said -i want a favour from u raman puttar.

Raman -favour nahi, aap order kariye.

Raman's grandfather -now as I am dying, I want to give my all responsibilities to u, he said making everyone cry.

Raman started crying sitting near the his grandfather holding his hand while everyone was just standing around them crying bitterly.

Raman -please dadu,aap jyada mat boliye, u should take rest.

Grandpa-ab toh rest hi karna hai, bas yeh Aakhiri adhura kaam pura kar doon. Raman puttar I wanted u to come as I have to hand over all my responsibilities to u. I lived like a king and all these people which r crying today are like my people. I have always worked for their betterment and want to do it even after my death. I know u must be thinking why I am giving this responsibility to u and not to my son, coz no one can perform these duties as efficiently as u can. And I know only u have the power to do this. Kyunki tu galat kabhi nahi hone dega and will never forgive the guilty. So I want u to become the heir to my property, my village, my kingdom after me.promise me raman puttar that u will do this after me. U will become the next king. He said making everyone cry.

Raman -no dadu,please don't say like this. U can't die ,u have to live for all of us.

Grandpa-dont me adamant, just promise me that u will over take my responsibilities after my death.

Raman was denying but everyone start saying to accept it. Finally Raman has to say yes and his grandpa closed his eyes feeling light after giving his responsibilities to raman.

Soon the lines got straight making everyone realise that he is no more, everyone start crying while Raman was just looking at the body of his dadu thinking how's his life changed into a nano second, his grandfather went giving all his responsibilities to him, making him a king after him.
