Part 8
Raman was too angry meeting Shagun. It reminded him of the whole insults, whole betrayals he had gone through. He distanced himself from his lil sister, just because of Shagun, he hated women. Now when the life gave him a second chance to move ahead there she is again.
"Why this woman can't let me live in peace. When I was running behind her like a puppy, she just left me just like a shit.. And now when I'm contented in my life she is back again to spoil everything..." Raman thought
The mere thought of his past made Raman more and more mad. He was driving so rashly pouring all his anger, the poor steering had to bear the wrath of RKB. He directly went to a five-star bar and fetched a drink for himself.
He was holding it and was about to drink it, suddenly as fast as a lightening Ishita's face appeared in front of him. Unknown to him and his anger, a smile lingered in his lips. The mere thought of Ishita and his baby made him forget all his furry and anger. He was about to touch her when she disappeared. In anger he crushed the glass and its pieces pricked his hands but he couldn't didn't feel anything.
"Bhai ye kaise huwa?? kitna blood loss huwa.. chalo bhai hum hospital jaate hai.." and dragged him away. Raman was not in a mood to oppose, his thoughts were completely on Ishita and his baby.
Mihir brought Raman to a hospital. The cut wasn't too deep, the nurse dressed his cut and the doctor prescribed him some antiseptics. Then Mihir brought him to his house, Raman was silent through out the journey, he was just looking outside.
Inside Mihir's house, Mihir helped Raman to settle and brought a glass of water for him. Raman drank the whole glass of water in a go. Mihir saw this and silently settled beside him and asked,
"Kya huwa bhai?? You weren't like this and all of a sudden.. aap please mujhe batao kya huwa..."
Raman began breaking down, "Kyu mere saath aisa hotha hai.. sirf mere saath.. Tumme patha haina mihir how I was running behind Shagun, jab Shagun mujhe jodke gaya mein kaise toot gaya tha.. Now I'm back to my life just because of my baby and Ishita. After much time I began to trust someone. I want to live peacefully with my baby and wife. I know mein aur Ishita ek ideal couple aur madly in love couple aisa kuch nahi hai,but now when we decided to move ahead be each others' support system trust each other and more over be the best mumma and papa to our baby, there she is..."
"Bhai aap Shagun ki baat kar rahe ho.. Did you meet Shagun?? Kya kaha usne??" Mihir asked
Raman nodded his head and told him everything that Shagun told. Mihir was shocked thinking how could someone stoop so low. He consoled Raman
"Bhai aap ye sab bhabhi ko batato.. nahi toh problem aur bad jayegi.." Mihir advised Raman
"Nahi nahi.. Pehle se hi Ishita bohot stress mein hai if she knows about this aur stress karega..I can't take risk about my baby.." Raman denied
"Bhai, bhabhi ko kisi aur se pata chala toh situation aur bigad jayega.. Aapko sabse acche se pata hai how it feels when someone breaks your trust.. Don't do this bhai.." Mihir insisted
"Mujhe ye bhi pata hai how it feels when you talk about your ex to your present. Before our marriage, even before I had any feelings for Ishita I felt jealous and angry listening about Subbu. No I can't give more stress to Ishita. Mujhe jald se jald Shagun keliye kisi job doodna chahiye. Once she gets secured, mere peche chodengi.." Raman again denied Mihir's plea
Raman left Mihir's place and zoomed to Bhalla house. It was half past eleven when he reached home. The whole house was dark making him aware that everyone had slept so he silently entered the house and closed the door silently. He walked towards the kitchen and opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water and was drinking it when he felt someones' presence behind him. He turned and saw his mother standing there.
"Raman mujhe tumse baat karni hai.."
Raman followed his mother and both settled in the chairs in balcony. Both were silent, after some time Raman broke the silence.
"Maa aapko kuch puchna hai kya??" Raman asked his mother
Toshiji after thinking so much opened her mouth to tell something "Raman dekh puttar mujhe pata hai tum ye shaadi sirf meri khushi ke liye kiya.."
Raman interrupted, "Ye aap kya bol rahe ho maa.. aisa kuch nahi.."
Toshiji intervened, "Raman mujhe baat karne do.. First listen to me and speak.".
Raman nodded his head and Toshiji continued, "Ishita bahut maasum baachi hai Raman, usne ye choti umer mein hi bohot kuch dekha hai bohot sehan liye hai sirf isliye ki usse uska sher chodke yahan aana pada.. Abh woh uski zindagi ki bohot khoobsurat wakth mein hai aur ye khushi sirf aur sirf tumhare karan hai, usse abh sirf pyaar ki jarurat hai jo sirf tum hi de sakthi ho.."
Raman again intervened, "Kya maa, aap aisa kyu bathaa rahi ho.. hum dono khush hai.."
Toshiji "Tum kisise jhoot bol rahe ho.. Maine tumhari maa hum, maa apni bacche ki aankon pad sakthi hai.."
Raman stayed silent and Toshiji continued, "Aaj meine Ishita puttar ki chehra dekha, woh khushi se chamak rahi dhi. This is the first time I'm seeing her like this. She wasn't even this happy when she came to know about her pregnancy. Tumhare saath kuch time spend karke hi woh itna khush hai toh just think how much happy she would be if are with her. Puttar mujhe pata hai tume bohot mushkil hai kisise dobara pyaar karna, par Ishita ko bhi utni hi mushkil hogi, woh bhi apni pehali pyaar koya hai, phir bhi woh tumhare saath aage badne keliye tayar hai, tume bhi aage badni chahiye puttar. Just spent sometime with her, tume aapne aap usse pyaar hojageyi ..karoge na"
Raman nodded his head
Toshiji asked "Promise"
Raman smiled at his mother's cuteness and said, "Maa promise.." and both mother-son duo hugged each other.
"Mujhe nahi pata tha ki meri punjabi sherni aisa rotlu baby hai.. Sab jagah mein saas bahu ko rulayenge par yahan saas bahu keliye ro rahi hai..kya baat hai aap India ke saare saas's keliye insult hai maa" Raman teased his mother in order to lighten the situation.
"Chal hatt khote.." Toshiji glared at Raman shrugging him off
"Acha meri maa.. Sorry, kaan pakdke sorry.. Maa mujhe bohot bhook lagi hai kuch dedona.."
"Aavo puttar mein garam garam parathe aur butter chicken serve karti hum."
Raman had his dinner and both Toshiji and Raman retired to their room. Inside the room, Raman saw Ishita in half sleeping position with her eyes closed. Hearing the sound of the door she opened her eyes.
Raman mouthed a sorry for disturbing her and asked, "Tum abhi tak nahi soyi??"
Before she could answer she ran to the washroom covering her mouth. Raman followed her and saw her throwing up. He at first made a face but then seeing her red face he rubbed her back anf after he felt that she is ok, helped her wash her face and supported her to the bed.
"Tum rest karo, I will clean this.."
"Raman aap kyu, mein karti hum.."
"Mein kaha na mein karungi, You just stay here and rest. Samjhe?"
She nodded her head and he went inside the washroom. He came out after cleaning the whole mess and walked out of the room and brought a glass of lime water.
"Peelo you will feel better.." He said
Ishita was in all aww seeing his this caring Ram Kumar avatar. She was just smiling like an idiot.
"Mujhe pata hai I'm hot and handsome, you have your whole to stare at me, abh ghoorna bandh karo and piyo.."
She was embrassed of being caught red handed and drank the lime juice without a word and without meeting his eyes. He smiled seeing this.
After drinking the lime juice she lied down, but sleep was far away from her eyes. Raman came after freshening up, all set to sleep but saw her tossing left and right and asked
"Kya huwa.. bed mein kyu basket ball kel rahi ho??"
Ishita made an argry pout hearing this and said, "Needh nahi aaraha hai.."
Raman smiled hearing her cute complaint and asked, "mein kya karu??"
"Aap sulavogi??" Ishita asked cutely
"Mujhse nahi hoga ye sab.."
Keeping her hands over her tummy Ishita said with a cute angry pout, "Baby aapne sunna, papa humse pyaar hi nahi karte.. Jab aap bahar aavogi aap meri team mein hi rahna.."
"Jab baby aayegi, baby ke paas bhi math aana.. ok" she said looking at him
Raman shook his head in disbelief and spoke, "Tum kyu baby ko beech mein laa rahi ho? Mein kab baby ke bare mein kaha.."
Ishita closed her eyes and ears and said, "Mujhe kuch nahi sunna.."
Raman smiled at her childishness, he bend down to the level of her tummy and smiled.Ishita opened her one eye and saw Raman smiling and opening his mouth to say , this made her even more angry. This was the first time he seeing her this childish face. He loved fighting with her.
"Meine bola na mujhe kuch nahi sunna.."
"Mein tumse nahi meri baby se baath kar rahi hum.. Please don't disturb.." He snapped
"How rude.." She made a pout
"Baby. papa loves you so so much.. Don't listen to mumma.."
He raised his hands to caress her tummy but suddenly withdrew his hand being hestitated. Ishita saw this and held his hand made him touch her tummy. He looked into her eyes.
She spoke, "Ye aapka bhi baby hai, no need to hesitate to pamper your baby."
He looked into her eyes and she nodded her head in yes and both smiled.
