Raman hold ishita tight and shaked her taking her name -ishita, ishita got up.
He was calling her but she wasn't responding, so he picked her in his arms and ran out. Seeing him running toshiji came out and said seeing ishita -isse kya hua puttar.
Raman -pata nahi, I am taking her to hospital.
Toshiji -main chalun.
Raman -no, will call u, if I need u. Aap papa aur appa ko bhi bata dijiyega. Ruhi ko mat bataiyega,woh darr jayegi.
Toshiji -thik hai puttar. Tum dhyaan rakhna, aur mujhe phone karke batana.
Raman nodded and took ishita out of the house. He placed her gently on the passenger seat and drove out of the society.
Soon he was in doctor's clinic, ishita was in and was being checked.
Raman was pacing to and fro in tension when doctor came out. Raman went to her cabin and asked -how is she, doctor.
Doc -she is fine, I think unhone subah se kuch khaya nahi hai issi wajah se behosh ho gayi.
Raman sighed in relief hearing this and said -and how's the baby.
Doc -the baby is fine too. Actually I want to do some test of ishita as u all r saying that she can't conceive.
Raman -toh kariye naa, kuch problem hai kya.
Doc -yes, she is very exhausted today aur usne kuch khaya bhi nahi hai. and the test I have to do will take much time. So it will be good, if u take her some other day ,jis din woh fresh rahe, khana khila kar le aaiyega. So that I can conduct the tests.
Raman thought for a while and said -tomorrow will be fine.
Doc -it will be great. Aap Mrs bhalla ko kal le aaiyega.
Raman -ok doc, thanks. Can I take her home.
Doc -yes, u can take her home. But before that I want to tell u something important.
Raman -ji doc.
Doc -see, as u know she has some problem. U have to be extra careful for her. Unhe jyada se jyada rest karne dijiye. Let her eat healthy food and most importantly, u have to keep her happy. Unhe stress free rakhiye. Stress is very bad for her health. Kyunki agar bp fluctuate karne lagaa toh it will increase the problems.
Raman -no doc, I won't let it happen. I will take care of her. Now can I go and meet her.
Doc -yes, but before that go and take appointment for tomorrow's tests. Aur fees bhi submit kara dijiyega. Taaki aapko kal koi pareshani naa ho. Here is the list of the tests to be done. She said giving him a paper.
Raman took it and said-sure doc. Saying so he was going when doctor called him and said giving him an envelope-its sonography of ur wife. If u wanna see it.
Raman took it smiling and then went out to submit the fees. After completing the formalities, he went to the room and saw ishita laying on the bed with her eyes closed. He smiled remembering her confession about his importance in her life. He was feeling happy coz for the first time someone made him felt desirable. Yes he was in relationship before also but Shagun never made him feel so special. He was loving this feeling of being important in someone's life and the happiness of going to be a father again is adding to it. He went closer and sat on the bed and caressed her face lovingly.
Ishita opened her eyes and her eyes filled instantly seeing raman in front of her, remembering his words of hurt.
Ishita -I am sorry raman. Aisa nahi hai ki mujhe Aap par vishwas nahi tha, it's just I was scared, she was saying when Raman closed her mouth and said -no need to explain ishita. Just forget it, ek galti maine ki tum pat chilla kar, dusri tumne ki, mujhse sach chupa kar. But now I just want to forget those mistake of us and want to start afresh. He said while ishita closed her eyes feeling his touch. A tear roll down her cheek which he wiped and said -i don't to see these tears in ur eyes again.
Ishita open her eyes and asked looking down -aapne mujhe maaf kar diya.
Raman -maafi ki koi baat ho nahi hai. As now we will start a new life with our new found happiness. Khush ho jao, muskurao, u r pregnant ishita, u r not a barren lady anymore,tumhara bachcha aane wala hai iss duniya mein. U r going to be a mother.
Ishita look down and said -hamara bachcha, Raman.
Raman smiled and said -yes, hamara bachcha. Ab toh muskura do.
Ishita -u will accept our baby naa.
Raman -why won't I, if it's our baby then why will I won't accept him.
Ishita -and me??
Raman looked at her with confused eyes when she asked looking down -will u accept me as ur wife.
Raman smiled and said -u r already my wife. Biwi ho tum meri aur ab mere hone wale bachche ki mumma bhi.
Ishita's eyes got filled hearing this and before he can say anything ishita throw herself on him and Raman lovingly hugged her tight while ishita just closed her eyes feeling heavenly.
They were lost in the hug when raman's phone rang. He break the hug and picked the phone seeing his mother's number.
Raman -ji maa, yes she is fine. Aapki bahu bhookh se behosh ho gayi thi. Ab do logon ke hisse ka joh khana hai aur aapne Ek ke hisse ka bhi nahi diya. He said smiling making ishita look down blushing.
Toshiji -usse jaldi se ghar le aa, I have made many things for her.
Raman -ji maa, laata hoon. He said and hung the call.
Raman -lets go home, maa ne tumhare mote hone ki taiyaari kar rakhi hai. He said smiling.
Ishita nodded and was getting off the bed when her head spin. She was about to fall when Raman hold her and said -sambhal kar.
Ishita stand on her feet and said -I am good, bas thoda chakkar aa gaya tha.
Raman said ok and picked her in his arms.
Ishita -raman kya kar rahe hai.
Raman -kya kar raha hoon, apni bimaar biwi ko girne se bacha raha hoon.
Ishita -koi dekhega toh kya kahega.
Raman -yahin kahega ki Ek pati ne apni biwi ko uthaya hai, aur koi kuch bhi kyun kahega, arey apni biwi ko uthaya hai. Kisi aur ki thodi naa, aur ab tu chup kar, pareshan mat kar. Ek toh tu waise hi bhaari hai aur Upar se chapad chapad, chup reh.
Ishita made a dirty face and said -main bhaari nahi hoon.
Raman -achcha tujhe kaise pata, tune uthaya hai kya khud ko.
Ishita -mujhe pata hai.
Raman -how. He was walking and talking with her.
Ishita -that night u said I am very beautiful and light. She said and then realised what she said.
Raman smiled and said -achcha, aur kya kya bola tha aur kya kiya tha.
Ishita -mujhe nahi yaad.
Raman -chal jhoothi, tujhe sab yaad hai. Mujhe yaad nahi hai, so tell me what happened that night.
Ishita hide her face in his chest and said-mujhe sach yaad nahi.
Raman smiled and make her sit in the car. Then he himself settled on the wheels and drove out of the hospital oblivious of a pair of eyes who was getting jealous seeing ishra together moreover so close to each other and happy.
Shagun looked at the clinic and said -yeh dono maternity clinic mein kya kar rahen the, yeh ishita joh banjh hai naa. And how dare raman picked her in his arms and he was so happy also. No he can't be happy without me. Usse dukhi rehna chahiye, coz I left him. He can't get over of me. Usse hamesha sirf mujhse pyaar karna hai aur meri yaadon mein rona hai. He can't be happy. She said to herself and throw her shopping bags inside the car angrily.
On the other hand, Ishra were going home is the car, Raman was driving while ishita was just looking at him.
Raman -i told u many times, ki maana handsome hoon but hoon tumhara hi, u don't have to ogle at me like this. He said smiling while driving.
Ishita looked away and said -I am not ogling at u.
Raman -phir jhooth, I caught u red handed.
Ishita-aisa kuch nahi hai. It's just I was hungry.
Raman -oh toh main itna tempting hoon that u feel like eating me. Please aisa mat karna, warna mere chote chote bachchon aur Ek moti biwi ka kya hoga.
Ishita made a face and said pinching him -main moti nahi hoon.
Raman -ouch, madrasan pagal ho gayi hai kya, lagaa mujhe.
Ishita -oh really I am so sorry. But bahut maza aaya mujhe, kyunki aapke mujhe moti kaha,aur main moti nahi hoon.
Raman -ofcourse tu bahut moti hai. Aur ab toh aur moti hone wali hai. He said smiling only to get another pinch from her.
Raman -madrasan sach mein pagal ho gayi hai kya, Main car se utaar dunga.
Ishita -toh utaar dijiye, waise bhi main toh moti hoon naa, toh aapki car puncture ho jayegi naa, mere weight se.
Raman -aisa bhi ho sakta hai,aise toh Maine socha hi nahi.
Ishita -aap bahut bure hai. Ab main kuch khaungi hi nahi.
Raman -par moti toh tu tab bhi hogi. He said teasing her.
Ishita made a baby face when he said -aur cute bhi lagegi. He said making ishita smile.
Raman -waise Maine kabhi socha nahi tha ki jkr itni cute bhi ho sakti hai.
Ishita -toh Maine bhi Kahan socha tha, ki raavan Kumar itne understanding kumar bhi ho sakte hai. She said and smiled looking at him. He too look at her and smiled .
