ishitha was busy in preparing lunch when raman rushed to her seeing him very tensed she turned off the gas and turned to him 'what happened raman?'
she questioned him worriedly
ishitha i got call from your principal he said that college has been started 15days back and after a week your first practical exams are going to be held
he questioned me why you are not coming to college,now what we will do this land puja got postponed as you were not in a position to do it will be held only after 3days and by the time we reach delhi you will get only 2days to cover all your missed sessions
said raman worried about ishitha's exam
raman you don't worry i will manage in those 2days said ishitha calmly making raman more worried
how will you manage pagal,theory you can prepare from home but practicals you need to attend sessions said raman ruffling his hair
seeing him so tensed just for her exams ishitha found him so adorable,(st):he cares so much for me and he says he can't love me,a person care someone only if he loves them
then why he is doing this,i am unable to understand him thought ishitha looking at him
she was brought out of her thoughts listening raman's words 'ok i will book flight tickets for you and i will ask maa and papa to stay back,uncle and aunty will do the puja i will convince shanthi aunty,you pack your luggage'
she closed his mouth with her palm making raman startled with her sudden action
i will remove my palm only if you doesn't speak anything until i complete my version said ishitha waiting for raman's answer while he nodded his head positively smiling at her innocent action
taking away her palm she said 'i can manage raman,you don't worry mummiji and papaji are very exited to come chennai let them come and shanthi aunty will feel very sad if we doesn't sit for puja
but what about your exams asked raman immediately
i said i will manage said ishitha resuming her work
still not feeling ok with ishitha's answer he walked out of the guest house dialing to someone
after few hours raman walked in to see ishitha was busy in studying at the same time patting anshu to sleep
thum ruko ishitha mi anshu ko sula dunga said raman picking anshu into his arms and walked to bedroom to pat him to sleep
when he walked out after making anshu to sleep he saw ishitha no where in the drawing room checking in their bedroom he walked to kitchen to see her busy in preparing tea for him
ishitha when you will study if you keep on doing household things asked raman angrily thinking that she is not concentrating in studies
aap ithna gussa kyoun kar rahi hu miney socha aapke liye tea bana dho said ishitha with hurt visible on her face
mi khud banaunga tea thum thumhara padayi mey dhyan rako said raman pulling ishitha aside
she walked out stomping her foot for his rude behavior,taking the book into her hands she settled in the hall so that raman can be visible to her
raman knows that she was checking him from time to time making him smile at her childish acts
when he was busy in thinking how to help ishitha in her studies,tea spilled from the vessel because of over heat grabbing raman's attention
in hurry he held the vessel when his fingers burnt because of holding hot vessel he immediately withdrawn his hand shrieking in pain
seeing this ishitha rushed towards him in worry,grabbing some icecubes from freezed she put his hand on them scolding him 'i said i will do,but you didn't listened see now what happened your fingers got burnt,said ishitha wiping her tears which formed in her eyes seeing him in pain
he was amazed seeing how worried she gets for the slightest pain he endures
he withdraw his hand from her saying that he is ok now
at night:
raman and anshu both settled on their respective chairs for dinner after serving food for raman ishitha started feeding anshu,
when raman held the spoon he winced in pain grabbing ishitha's attention
she immediately took raman's hand and saw the finger tips are still swollen,aap rahne dijiye anshu ko kelane ka baadh mi aapko kilaungi
said ishitha
no i will manage said raman trying to grab the spoon which only hurted him further
aap bache thodi nahi zidhi math karo said ishitha in a final tone making raman sit silently watching how she was feeding his son with utmost love
'anshu go to your room and play with the toys which i showed you in the afternoon,mi jaise building banaya thum vaise hi building banana hi mi thodi dher mey aakar dekungi teeke said ishitha wiping his face with napkin
nodding his head he rushed towards his room while raman was staring thinking how can she love anshu so much
he was busy in staring at her that he didn't noticed when she forwarded morsel towards him
raman kya dekh rahi hu aap,kaalo her voice brought him out of trance,he had dinner with her hand for the first time and which he felt very good
thum bhi kaalo said raman taking her hand towards her mouth which she obliged
after having dinner both retired to their room
first thing she did was applying ointment on his fingers making him smile at her concern
...
next day:
ishitha settled to study after sending lunch to raman by driver,while amma and anshu both are busy in playing
she raised her head listening to some foot steps to see raman walking in,she was surprised seeing raman at that time as just before she sent lunch to him
aap aab yaha?kuch bhoolgaya kya? asked ishitha
nahi kuch nahi,bass thum jaldhi sey ready hokar aaja mi parking mey wait karunga said raman looking at his watch
lekin kyoun raman? asked ishitha not understanding why he came in the mid of office and wanting her to accompain him
arey yaar kitna saval poochungi thum,mi jo bola voh karo,baadh mey bathavunga saab said raman walking out
bade ajeeb aadhmi hi,thought ishitha and left to get ready
soon they were at the entrance of a university
hum kaha aaya asked ishitha while raman simply took her hand and walked ahead while her total concentration shifted towards their hands which were entwined
she didn't noticed when she was brought into a room
'ishitha' his voice brought her into real making her to look at the surroundings
she saw a middle aged person standing infront of them
ishitha he is the principal of this college,mihika's cousin
lekin hum yaha kyoun aaya raman asked ishitha not understanding why he took her to the university
until we stay in chennai you will do the practicals in this university so that when we go back to delhi you could easily pass your exams
said raman making ishitha to look at him surprisingly
soon the principal and raman got busy in discussing about ishitha's 2nd year 2nd semister while ishitha was busy in adoring his caring nature
she never saw someone caring and fulfilling all her wishes before she speaks,her father tried his level best to fulfill her wishes but his financial status was always a hindrance
after her father only raman is very cared about her
turning to ishitha raman said 'ishitha you go to your class peon will show you the way i will come and pick you in the evening said raman while ishitha nodded her head and left to the class
still thinking about raman
somewhere in the city:
ashok:i got a very good news for you
woman:what is the news
ashok:raman joined ishitha in chennai university to let her continue the studies
woman:stupid is this some good news for me
ashok:arey puri baath tho suno pehle
woman:kya
ashok:now she will be out without anyone beside her this will be the best time to kill her
woman:no ashok,on the day of that land puja i will kill her infront of that raghu ram so that he will not dare to bring any woman in my raman's life
...
after a day:
raman and appa came early in the evening while karthik is going to pick up ishitha as she will be coming later
amma served tea for both the men while raman was busy in playing with anshu
appa:raman i and madhu will go to home
raman:why appa,stay here only
appa:you know na raman today is office party at night,and it will be closer to our home so we will go now and will reach the venue from there,you and ishitha come later and stay at our home in the night as it will be very late by the time party gets finished
nahi appa hum nahi aasakthi said raman
appa:kyoun nahi raman yeh tho thumhara company ka clients party hi naa thum nahi aavungi tho voh bahuth bura feel hoga
raman:i will convince them appa,ishitha has to study,even if we come who will take care of anshu
amma:vishwa ek kaam karo thum mi ghar par rahunga aur anshu bhi mere saath rahengi
raman:nahi amma,couples jaana mandatory hi
appa:iss umar mey hum party jakar kya karengi raman thum aur ishitha jaavo mi aur madhu anshu ko humara saath lejavunga ghar
raman:nahi appa,i will feel very bad if you deny for the party because of us
amma:acha ek kaam karthe hum anshu ko vandu ke paas chodengi,voh shravan ke saath kelengi,phir koyi problem nahi hi
seeing no other option raman agreed to them while they left to their home
raman(st):hum party mey kaise jaayengi ishitha bahuth uncomfortable feel hoga jab ek baar gaya tho ashok ney ek drama kiya aur aab kya honga
...
bidding bye to karthik ishitha walked into their bedroom to see anshu playing with raman sitting on his father's stomach
'papa mamma kab aayengi' asked anshu still playing with raman
kyoun mi huna said raman
ha lekin mujje bhook hi mamma hi tho mujje chocolate shake banayengi said anshu cutely trying to catch the ball which raman was throwing up
acha mi bhi banasaktha chocolate shake said raman picking anshu into his arms
sacchi papa asked anshu
thumhe kya lagtha sirf uss madrasan ko kaana banana aatha hi kya,dho dhin pehle thum aur mamma bahuth mannbar sey kaaliya na
said raman for which anshu nodded his head agreeing
anshu ka mamma ko bhi banadijiye naa chocolate shake mr.chef INDIA said ishitha smiling at them
ha ha banadhungi kyoun nahi said raman absentmindedly and then looked at ishitha who was controlling her laugh
oye madrasan kab aaya thune aur hasne ke baath kya hi,mi hu mr.chef
thum fresh hoja mi banathi hu accha kana thum dhononkeliye
ji kaana nahi chahiye hum baas milk shake banadijiye said ishitha
acha teeke mi vahi banathi hu said raman walking out of the room while ishitha smiled at his cute antics
when ishitha and anshu both are relishing the chocolate shake made by raman,ishitha's phone rang making her to attend the call
while raman was busy in his room working on some project
when appa informed ishitha about the party she was surprised why raman didn't shared it with her
she walked in to their bedroom to see raman busy with his work
raman appa ney bathaya kuch kaas party hi aaj raath aap mujje bathaya nahi she asked grabbing raman's attention
ha hi ek party humara clients de raha hu lekin hum jaana jarurath nahi hi said raman not keeping any eye contact with ishitha
lekin appa said you will be the main guest in your client's party won't they feel bad if you doesn't attend asked ishitha
ha lekin voh couples party hi said raman in a go
ishitha's lips curled down thinking raman doesn't want to take her to the party
she silently left the room making raman think why she left in mid
she got busy in household work while their is a sadness thinking raman doesn't want her to be with him for the party
while the other hand clients reminded raman to attend the party at any cost making raman more confused
he walked to ishitha who was busy in kitchen
without any indirect questions he directly asked her 'ishitha do you have any problem to come with me for the party,i know when i asked last time to accompain me for the party ashok created such a fuss
i doesn't want to force you again,but my clients again reminded me about the party,they will feel insulted if we doesn't go for the party
understanding the actual reason why raman doesn't want to take her to the party made ishitha to smack herself mentally
aap chahunga tho mi aasakthi lekin anshu ka kya asked ishitha
amma ney kaha anshu vandu ke saath rahengi kuch vo shravan bi hotha hi naa,anshu ke saath kelne keliye
accha teek hi,kab jaana hi asked ishitha
it will take two hours to reach the venue we should get ready now said raman
ok you go and get ready by the time i will feed anshu some snacks
nodding his head raman left to the room
...
after feeding anshu ishitha walked to their room to see raman dressed up in beige color 3piece suit
his hair was gelled up perfectly making him look more handsome
she walked towards wardrobe smiling at him,she got busy in looking some desingery sarees but she was very much confused to select one
after getting ready he turned to see ishitha with a pout on her lips busy in searching for a good saree
taking the gift wrapped packet he walked towards her 'kya kar rahi hu thum' asked raman startling ishitha
she stepped back with his sudden voice which made her loss the balance
when she was about to fall he held her stopping her from falling
dyaan kaha hi thumhara said raman making her stand properly
aap tho aisa achanak meri paas aakar baath kiya,ek minute keliye mi darr gayi said ishitha shifting her mind to the work
while raman stood smiling at her 'kithna time lagega thumko dress select karne mey' asked raman
raman aap meri help karo na mujje kuch samaj mey nahi aarahi hu ki konsi saree select karo said ishitha
you woman will take whole day to get ready but in the end it was same hair style same creams same type of saree,then why you take hours to get ready questioned raman making ishitha to pout
mi kya karu,meri sarees saab delhi mey hi,thodi na patha mujje yaha mi aapke saath party attend karungi said ishitha
smiling at her innocence he took the packet into his hands and forwarded it to her 'yeh pehenlo' said raman
aap mere liye laaya asked ishitha lovingly
ha socha thumhare paas yaha kuch accha sarees nahi hoga isiliye,said raman walking out of the room not before asking her to get ready
she opened the gift wrap to see a very good peach and beige color designery saree
she smiled looking at the saree,'raman ka suit sey matching hotha hi yeh saree,isiliye laaya hoga' thought ishitha getting ready in the saree which he brought for her
after 20mins wait she walked out of the room in meantime raman made anshu get ready
she nervously walked towards raman thinking will she be looking good so that raman won't face any insults in the party
raman am i looking good or not asked ishitha nervously grabbing raman's attention
he turned towards her to see her draped nicely in the saree,while her hair left open,with small matching earrings
what made her more beautiful is the pinch of sindoor adoring her partition and the nupital chain on her neck
seeing him silent she asked him again 'should i change or is this saree looking ok raman'
he came out of his staring session listening her question again
you are looking good should we go he said trying to look as normal as he can
after dropping anshu raman picked appa and amma and left to the party
through out the entire drive raman was stealing glances at ishitha speaking to appa about business
while amma and ishitha were busy with their talks
soon they reached the venue
party was all on full swing,raman introduced ishitha to all his employees while ishitha greeted them warmly
while amma and appa are happy to see raman caring so much for ishitha
he never leaved her a second alone thinking what happened last time
but soon he has to leave ishitha with their parents as one of the clients took him with them for some discussions
after having a discussion with the clients in the balcony area raman was walking towards the hall but banged with someone 'i am sorry' he apologised without looking at the person
sorry tho thum hazar bolne sey bhi kam padengi raman bhalla
hearing ashok's voice raman looked up to see ashok smirking at him
raman's anger reached to new level seeing ashok,'thum yaha kya kar rahi hu,koun diya thumko invitation iss party ke liye' raman hissed angrily
laughing at raman 'thumhe kya lagtha hi sirf thum businessman hu,arey mi bhi business man hu,mujje bhi bahuth saara contacts hi,if you wouldn't snatched anjali now i would have been the top most business man with the help of that old man
but you bloody snatched her'
clutching ashok's collar raman warned him in a serious tone 'aur ek baar anjali kaa naam thumhara mooh sey aane dho thumko patha bhi nahi lagengi kab thumhara saas ruk jayengi'
letting himself free from raman ashok adjusted his shirt saying 'ok i won't take anjali's name but i can take ishitha' name na,chod dho usko thum anjali sey pyaar kar rahi na,ishitha sey kya lena dena hi,usko paa kar mi raghu ram sey mera kwashish puri karungi'
listening to him raman punched ashok making him spit the blood,once again you take ishitha or anjali's name from your dirty mouth i will kill you with my bare hands
wiping blood from his face ashok smiled shamelessly making raman more anger,'ithna gussa kyoun raman,ishitha sey thum pyaar nahi kar rahi hu naa,tho chodne mey ithna thagleef kya hi,voh sirf thumhara bacha ki aaaya hi naa said ashok testing raman's patience
voh meri biwi hi zuban sambal me rakho nahi tho kaatlungi,hato yaha sey said raman pushing away ashok
he angrily walked inside while ashok smirked for spoiling raman's mood
seeing him so disturbed ishitha walked towards him 'raman kya huva aap bahuth disturbed lag rahi hu' asked ishitha
not to take his anger on ishitha he walked away from her making her sad
ishitha(st):kya hogaya raman ko achanak she thought when she was about to turn she saw ashok entering the hall smirking at her
feeling disgusted to even see him she walked towards their parents,she silently stood glancing at raman who was speaking with the people around
while his hand was fisted trying to control his anger
she understood he was disturbed with ashok's presence or ashok might have said something nastic to raman
soon couple dance was announced all the pairs walked to the dance floor while the elder couples walked to a corner to give space to the young fellows
while ishitha too walked away with their parents
ashok smirked at raman seeing this which made raman blood boil in anger
he walked towards ishitha took her hand and was about to walk to the dance floor when ishitha took away her hand
aap kya kar rahi hu,mujje kaha lee ja rahi hu said ishitha
hum dance karne keliye jaa rahi hu said raman controlling his anger
lekin kyoun raman,mujje nahi karna dance said ishitha trying to get out of that place
he pulled her to the balcony area not to create scene infront of her parents
kyoun nahi karna dance thuje asked raman angrily
aap ithna gussa kyoun kar rahi hu,mujje nahi karna baas said ishitha in a final tone
thum meri biwi ho,pathi ke saath dance karne mey kya problem hi asked raman angrily
while ishitha kept silent as their will be no use if she speak anything when he was angry
aab chelo mere saath said raman
aap jabardasthi karengi mere saath asked ishitha for which raman left her hand
thum sach mey mujse pyaar nahi karthi,karthi tho aisa nahi kehne wali thum said raman
walking away angrily while ishitha felt sad to hurt him when he was already angry
he too stood at a corner angrily seeing ashok smirking at him continuously
unable to take it any more he walked to the bar counter and immersed himself in drinking
while appa and amma could sense something was off between the couple
when he was about to take another drink ishitha stopped him 'raman please amma appa hi yaha,unke liye math lelo yeh drink'
thum kyoun jabardasthi kar rahi hu mujse asked raman while ishitha stood near him helplessly
before another argument can take place one of the lady client asked raman to join the dance floor
without thinking a sec he left with that lady making ishitha go anger
even though the lady was swaying in his arms his total attention was on ishitha who was looking them with jealous
not able to take it more she walked away from the hall,seeing her going alone ashok walked behind her,seeing ashok raman excused the girl and rushed towards ishitha
before ashok can reach her raman pulled her into a corner warning ashok with his finger
thinking raman might punch him again he silently left the party
aap yaha kyoun aaya,jaavo dance karo uss foreign ladki sey
jab pathni dance karne mey inkar kar diya tho kisi aur ke saath dance karna padega
vaise bhi voh bahuth achi dancer hi,thumko salsa ka meaning bhi patha nahi hoga instigated raman
mujje bhi aatha hi salsa dance said ishitha in a fit to show herself greater
acha tho chelo dance karo mujjse said raman while ishitha obliged so that he won't dance with any random girl
both walked to the dance floor while amma appa smiled seeing them together,they went to balcony area so that they can enjoy freely
she smiled herself thinking how raman made her to listen his words
hasne sey dance nahi hoga,dance karna padega said raman listening to his taunt she looked at him who was smirking at her
raavan kumar she whispered placing one hand on his should while her eyes were downcasted with tint of shyness
smiling at her he entwined his fingers with one of her free hand while he slowly wrapped his other hand around her bare waist making her look at him
shock was the least she was in she could hardly concentrate on anything feeling his palm on her waist
he slowly pulled her closer towards him locking her eyes with him
as if she was hypnotised she started swaying in his hands while he pulled her more closer towards him twirling her occasionally
she couldn't understand what happened to raman that he was behaving as if they are normal couple
she looked around to see whether he is doing all this to show off ashok,but couldn't find him anywhere
seeing her attention somewhere,he squeezed her waist making her grasp at his sudden action,she never thought that he could be so romantic infront of many people
she shyly looked at him who was already looking at her
swaying in his arms she thought 'raman kisiko dekane keliye mujse dance nahi kar rahi hu,mi bewaja usko hurt kiya,lekin raman meri saath ithna comfortable kaise hi jab voh mujse pyaar nahi kartha,her mind flooded with so many questions
which she had no answers,seeing her again lost somewhere he twirled her again making her come out of his thoughts'
with his sudden action she lost her balance and landed in his arms,while he helped her to stand properly
maine bola na thum nahi karpaungi yeh dance,mujje vahi foreign ladki sey hi dance karna hoga said raman trying to move away while she pulled raman towards her in jealous
aap sirf mujse dance karna hi kisi sey nahi whispered ishitha in a warning tone making raman to chuckle at her possessiveness
seeing him smiling she understood his play and suddenly felt very shy,pulling her again into his arms both swayed
when her fringe started disturbing her by coming again and again on her eyes,she left one hand to tuck it behind her ear
while raman held her hand and placed it again on his shoulder while she looked at him not understanding what he is doing
untangling the other hand from her he tucked the fringe behind her ear while his fingers caressed her cheek in the process making her cheeks turn red
seeing her so beautiful and innocent he couldn't stop himself from kissing her,when he bent to kiss her cheek she turned away her face in shyness making his lips plant on her neck,while she tried her best not to moan and hugged him tightly
not willing to make her more uncomfortable with hall full of people he walked away from dance floor along with her
while she was not at all in a position to face him
to save her from these new feelings her amma walked along with appa towards them
soon they had dinner and left the party
as requested by appa both stayed back in the appa's home
after helping amma she walked towards their room while she was hell nervous to get into the room after seeing a different raman in the party
on the other side raman was looking at anjali's photo which was in his purse,'anjali i love you and i still love you,but ishitha started making new place in my heart,before i liked her but now i am started loving her,but your place will be the same in my heart,but ishitha has new place in my heart,i hope you understood me,i am thinking to move on my life,when ashok badmouthed about ishitha i couldn't stop myself from hitting him at that moment i understood i started loving ishitha,now i doesn't want to hurt her more keeping her away'
taking anjali's photo from his purse he placed it in a cupboard locking his love for anjali and opening the love door for ishitha
he saw ishitha walking into the room while her hands were shaking because of nervous,he chuckled seeing her so shy,'pagal madrasan ko kya hoga jab mi bolengi ki mi usey pyaar kartha hu'
keeping the water glass on side table she was moving towards the couch
kaha jaa rahi hu?asked raman
mi voh couch pey sone keliye jaa rahi hu said ishitha fidgeting with her saree pallu
naya rule hi kya couch pey sone kaa,har dhin kaise so rahi thi vaise bed par so ja said raman walking to the washroom
...
when he walked back he saw ishitha sleeping on the farther end of the bed facing the wall
sleeping his side he questioned her 'thum mujjse kuch saval poochna hi kya?'
jab aapko meri saval patha hi tho mi kyoun poochungi phirse said ishitha still facing the wall
jaldhi sey thumhara saara saval ka javab milengi thujko aur kuch dhin intezar karo said raman closing his eyes
while ishitha smiled listening his words,her happiness has no bounds
in the mid of night ishitha moved closer towards raman placing her hand on his stomach,raman who was wide awake looked at ishitha who was sleeping very innocently
placing her head on the pillow properly he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her more closer towards him,waiting for the land puja day to confess his feelings
