Ishra were laying on the bed cuddled in each other. Raman look at ishita and saw her laying with closed eyes. He thought that she slept and pecked her temple only to hear, Raman, mujhe abhi bhi neend nahi aa rahi.
Raman looked at her, she raised her head and said -sorry, but I can't sleep. Just one peg, then I will, she was saying when Raman nodded in no and said -agar tumhe neend nahi aa rahi then we will stay awake, Ek saath.
Ishita -no, u sleep. Main jagti hoon, why u will ruin ur sleep for me.
Raman pecked her forehead and said -u ruined urself for me jaan, yeh toh sirf neend hai. Achcha tell me, what u want to do.
Ishita thought for a while and said -lets see a movie.
Raman -ok, which one. Romantic yaa horror.
Ishita -i want to watch a fairy tale love story, Cinderella type ki.
Raman -cindrella, u r such a baby. OK,let me search for it. He said and searched for the movie in his tab. Soon he found it and both start watching it. Raman ordered popcorn for her and coffee for himself while she was busy in enjoying the movie.
Soon the waiter came with his order, Raman covered her properly and went to take the order wearing his clothes. He took the order and went it. He settled beside her and said -popcorns for my princess. He said smiling.
Ishita took the tub from him and kissed his cheek. Raman wrapped her in his arms and start sipping his coffee when she asked -aap coffee pee rahen ho, u r sleepy naa.aap so jao.
Raman -I am good, u enjoy ur movie. He said pulling her more closer. She adjusted herself keeping her head on his chest munching the popcorn while Raman was busy in admiring her sipping his coffee. She was laughing wholeheartedly enjoying the movie, while he was enjoying seeing her so happy. He was feeding her in between ,making her look at him every now and then. Both were happy and contented having each other in their arms.
Slowly ishita start yawning, Raman saw this and start patting her slowly. Soon she closed her eyes and slept hugging him. He kept the popcorn tub and tab on the table and softly pecked her forehead while she snuggle more into him. He adjusted together on the bed and soon both were sleeping cuddled in each other. Raman was waking up in between checking her while she was sleeping carelessly over him. He smiled seeing her sleeping style and slept again.
Next morning, Raman got up at his regular time,he made ishita wear her clothes and pecked her forehead caressing her face, she was looking too innocent with all her messy hair and pink cheeks while she was sleeping like a small baby cuddled in the blanket .ramab pecked her temple again and then went to get ready. he got ready to go for jog but he was not feel like going to jog leaving ishita, so he decided not to go for jogging. He ordered green tea and was sipping it when Toshiji came in.
Raman hugged his mother abx wished her good morning. Toshiji hugged him back and said -good morning puttar ji.
Raman -shitu is sleeping let's go to the hall. He said and both went to the hall attached to their bedroom.
Both settled on the couch and raman ordered tea and snacks for toshiji while he continued sipping his green tea.
Toshiji saw this and said -tu badal gaya hai puttar, u started drinking green tea, body bhi bana li hai. Ab mera raman nahi lag raha.
Raman smiled and said -aapka raman ho hoon maa, chehre se kya hota hai, mann toh wahi hai.
Toshiji -but still, I like my chubby raman puttar, yeh sukha hua aam pasand nahi mujhe, yeh pichke hue gaal, kuch jyada hi exercise kar li hai, koi nahi main aaloo ke paranthe khila kar thik kar dungi. Tujhe phir se apna raman puttar bana dungi.
Raman smiled nodding his head and continued sipping his tea when iyers came to the room and settled with them. They apologised for now joining them last night and then asked for ishita finding her nowhere.
Raman -she is sleeping.
Appa checked the time and said -itni der tak.
Toshiji -toh kya hua, bachchi hai. Chutti par hai, let her sleep.
Amma -its not good to sleep this late. Wait I will wake her up. She said and was going to wake ishita up when Raman stopped her and said -actually she sleep late, she was very disturbed last night.
Amma -kya hua.
Toshiji -she was feeling restless without drinking. Raman ne bataya mujhe, poor girl was in so much pain. I really can't see her in so much pain. Wish we can do anything for her.
Appa -amma look at each other and amma said -we were also thinking same last night and came with an idea.
Raman -what idea??
Appa-i think we should send her to rehab again.
Toshiji-yeh kya keh rahi hai, hai sahab.
Amma -yes, we talked about it and could decide this only. i know it will be painful for us, but it will be right for her. Aapne suna tha naa, uski haalat kitni kharab hai, aur agar kal Raman ne dhyaan nahi diya hota toh she must have started drinking . Aur agar usse kuch ho jaata toh. I think rehab is the best place for her. Wahan woh akeli rahegi toh usse family ke saath rehne ki importance pata chalegi then she will quit drinking herself. She said making everyone think.
Toshiji -i don't think we should send her to rehab. She has already went through alot.
Appa -but I think rehab will be best for her. Wahan usse full attention aur care milegi. Yahan sab ramam free hai, he can look after her but when they will be back to delhi, he will get busy, phir kyun dhyaan rakhega ishu ka, ab raman apna kaam dhaam chod kar har pal toh uske saath nahi reh sakta naa. He was saying when Raman said -i will be with her every second. He said making everyone look at him.
Raman continued -haan, Main har pal uske saath rahunga but usse khud se dur nahi bhejunga.
Appa -u r being emotional Raman, think practically. It's not practically possible to be with her and woh addicted hai, woh itni jaldi khud ko nahi badal payegi. It will be for few months only and she will be all fine.
Raman -kuch mahino ki baat toh bahut dur hai, main usse Ek pal ke liye bhi khud se alag nahi karunga. Meri biwi ke waise bhi bahut saha hai, pure ek saal tak mere marne ka kaaran khud ko maan kar ghuti hai, pura parivar hone ke bawajood anathon ki tarah rahi hai. Itne bade empire ko maalkin ho kar bhi gareebon ki zindagi jee hai usne, aur ab jab woh mere paas aati hai, Aap chahte hai ki main usse phir se khud se alag kar doon, kyun, kyunki woh sharab nahi chod paa rahi. Agar usne sharab peeni shuru ki mere kaaran ki, aapke kaaran ki. Toh joh galti hum sab ko hai uske liye isse akele saza kyun doon. Main usse Kahin nahi behne wala, woh mere saath rahegi hamesha, aur I will take care of her, today and always. Aur mujhe pura bharosha hai that very soon she will be fine with our love and care. She just need love and immense care, joh usse sirf hum de sakte hai, koi rehab wala nahi. He said determined at his decision of boy sending her anywhere.
Appa -but usse sharab peene ka nasha hai, aur woh uski jaan bhi le sakta hai.
Raman -i will not let anyone or anything touch her, aur rahi baat nashe ki, toh pyaar se bada nasha kuch nahi hota. He said looking at them when amma said -i know u love her very much but hum bhi uske amma -appa hai, uska bura nahi sochenge, I think we should send her to rehab, that will be best for her. She was saying when all heard-main chali jaaungi rehab. All turned to the direction hearing her voice and was shocked to see her standing there with moist eyes.
Ishita-Aap sab mujhse peecha chudana chahte hai naa, bojh ban gayi hoon main aap sabke liye naa. Koi baat nahi, main chali jaaungi, aap sabse dur ,Main chali jaaungi aap sabse dur. She said crying and ran to her bedroom.
Raman and all ran to her but she closed the door before anyone can get in.
All started knocking the door while she was just crying and saying -main sabse dur chali jaaungi, Main bojh ban gayi hoon sab par.
