Raman went to ishita and said -kya hua madrasan, mere bina chain nahi hai kya. I am observing u r just ogling at me every now and then. Kitni baat kaha hai mana li main, he was saying when ishita said -aap handsome hai, but hai toh mere hi naa, toh I shouldn't ogle at u. Yahin naa.
Raman smiled and nodded in yes.
Ishita -i was not ogling at u but called u to ask ki aapne khana khaya.
Raman -khana?? Nahi toh, but kha lunga.
Ishita -nahi,abhi khaiye. U r with me since morning, maine toh beech mein khana bhi khaya aur rest bhi kiya, but u r just working and working that too without having anything. Aap abhi khana khayenge.
Raman -main kha lunga madrasan. Itni fikar mat kar, biwi wali feeling aati hai.
Ishita -kyunki main aapki biwi hoon, aur mera haq hai aapke liye fikar karna. Aap kha rahe hai ki nahi. She said almost scolding making Raman smiled. He remembered how he always craved for such care from Shagun but she never bothered about all this. He never remember, she ever asked him about having food. He smiled finally having someone to take care of him.
Seeing him smiling ishita said -ab isme hasne ki kya baat hai. Aap abhi jaiye aur khana khaiye. No infact u stay here, while I go and bring food for u. Kahin mat jaiyega.
Raman -main kha lunga madrasan, tu tension mat le, u r pregnant.
Ishita -pregnant hoon bimaar nahi ki kuch kaam naa kar sakun. Aur waise bhi apne pati ki care karna tension lena nahi hota. She said and went from there before raman can notice her blush.
Raman settled on the chair and said -pati, not bad Raman. He said smiling and start waiting for her. He was looking around and saw subbu going to ishita while she was coming taking food for her. Raman felt suspicious of his intentions and before he can think anything he saw subbu taking his leg infront of ishita to make her fall. Ishita was about to get stuck in subbu's legs when Raman got up and ran to her. She got stuck in subbu's leg and was about to hit the ground when Raman hold her, the food plate fall on the ground while hee hand was on her tummy protecting her baby.
Raman -ishita, r u fine. He asked to which ishita just nodded. He hugged her tight as she was shivering badly and consoled her that everything is fine. Mr and Mrs bhalla along with Mr and Mrs iyer came running to them. Raman told amma and Toshiji to hold ishita while he turned to subbu who was now standing at far, he reached to subbu in no time and punched him hard making him vomit blood.
All got stunned by Raman's this action while he continued beating subbu black and blue. Mr bhalla and appa came to Raman and stopped him as he was beating subbu mercilessly. While subbu's mother too came and start trying to release subbu from Raman's hold.
Mr bhalla -raman Ruko, kya hua.
Raman -dont stop me papa. I will kill him. He did it intentionally to let ishita fall, taaki hamara bachcha, I will not spare him. He said angrily making everyone shocked.
Amma came and said slapping subbu -how dare u do this,banjh keh keh kar meri kanna ki zindagi puri tarah barbaad kar di thi aur jab woh maa banne wali hai toh tum ab uska bachcha chinna chahte ho. She said and slapped him again.
Subbu's mother came in front and said -mera beta aisa nahi kar sakta. Tumhari biwi ko khud chalna nahi aata hai, toh woh girne wali hogi. How can u blame my son for this.
Raman -just shut up, I saw him. Usne pair lagaya tha tabhi ishita giri. He said to subbu's mother and then pulled subbu by his collar and said -kaan kholkar sunn le, agli baar meri biwi ke aas paas bhi dikha na,maarunga nahi, maar dalunga. Woh meri biwi hai, aur woh mera bachcha hai ,I will not let anyone harm them. He said and left subbu. He fell on the ground while Raman went to ishita and said -u r OK naa.
Ishita nodded in yes.
Raman -maa, can I take her home. Tomorrow she has many tests to be done. Isse rest karna chahiye.
Toshiji -but tum dono ne khana bhi nahi, OK I will send ur food there only. She said and Raman took ishita oblivious of a pair of eyes who was looking at them and burning in anger and jealousy. She turned back and went to her car not able to take the blow she got.
Yes Shagun came to know the truth of Ishra relationship as she was feeling suffocated seeing ishra so happy together. She came just to satisfy her ego that Raman could never love anyone but her and got shock of her life to know that ishita is pregnant and that too with Raman's child.
Shagun punched the steering and shouted -nahi, yeh nahi ho sakta. Woh behenji woh banjh, maa banne wali hai woh bhi Raman ke bachche ki. That means he touched her but why, how dare he touch her when he loves only me. Raman sirf mujhse pyaar kar sakta hai. I will never let him be over me. Woh kabhi mere bina khush nahi reh sakta. Main usse rehne nahi dungi. I will snatch every happiness from him, usse hamesha mere liye dukhi rehna hai bas.she said to herself and drove out of the society before anyone can see her.
On the other side, Raman took ishita to their room and make her sit comfortably.he was going out when ishita hold his hand and nodded in no, telling him not to go anywhere.
Raman -i am just coming. He said and went out. He came with a glass of water. He sat next to her and gave her a ladoo.she was just holding it when he took it from her hand and feed her slowly. She had it and then raman made her drink water.she was still shivering all shocked while her hand was still on her tummy.
Raman -relax ishita, u r fine. Kuch nahi hua.
Ishita just looked at him trying to observe his words when he closed his eyes to assure her. She hugged him tight and start crying bitterly. Raman was just trying to console her while she was just crying continuously.
Raman broke the hug and said -ishita, everything is fine. Aise mat ro, it's not good for baby. First u were shocked and now crying. It not good for u and the baby, ishita. He was saying only to hear -this baby is very precious to me Raman.
Raman looked at her while she continued -i don't want to loose it at any cost raman. U know I was so shattered when I got to know that I can never be a mother. Everyone taunted for because of my disability, jab ki usme meri koi galti nahi thi, but still everyday I had to hear something or other from someone. Koi mujhe taane maarta toh kou humdardi dikhata. Taane toh insaan seh leta hai but I never wanted anyone's mercy. I was trying to adjust with all this, phir Ek din Ruhi aayi meri zindagi mein. She choosed me over her parent and for her we got married. I got my daughter and then a husband in u. I was very happy, Haan we were not a normal, much in love couple, but still I was happy. Mere paas aao the, Ruhi thi, everything was good. But iss bachche ke aane ki khabar ki baad everything started changing for more good. U accepted as ur wife, Ruhi Itni khush hai, mummy ji -papa ji, appa -amma, everyone is so happy. And finally there is someone jiske aane se yeh banjh ka tag hatt jayega,ruhi bhi meri bachchi hai but this baby will be mine in every manner, koi usse bantt nahi payega. No one can ever claim him, mere do bachche ho jayenge raman, I will be no longer a barren lady. And because of this, I am very happy. For the first time in life I am very happy raman. I have the best family, most sweetest daughter and a husband like u. Joh raavan Kumar toh hai but kabhi kabhi ekdum Ram kumar bhi ho jaate hai. My life is finally settling aur ab main usse khona nahi chahti. I want my life, my family to be perfect. Main kisi ko khona nahi chahti. Main kisi ko bhi khona nahi chahti ,please save our baby, Raman. Please usse kuch mat hone dijiyega. She said keeping her head on his chest.
Raman went close to her and said wrapping her in his arms -tum please mat ro. Main hamare bachche ko kuch nahi hone dunga.woh janam lega aur tumhe maa banayega. Tumhara yeh banjh hone ka tag hatayega.trust me ishita I will never let anyone hurt our baby. Ishita hugged him tight hearing this while he just wiped her tears.
Both were lost in each other when neelu came with their food. Ishra parted and took the food. Both had dinner together and finally ishita slept after changing.
After sometime amma and Toshiji came to check ishita. Raman asked about Ruhi and get to know that she slept in iyer house only. Amma told to let her sleep there only to which toshiji nodded. Both asked about Ishita's reaction to which Raman shares how scared she was, and how she told him that she never want to loose the baby and how much she has gone through because of her disability.
Amma start crying remembering the worst days of Ishita's life when her engagement got broken with subbu because of her disability and then subbu getting married to someone infront of her eyes. She told the same making toshiji feel sad for ishita. they talked for long and then went to their respective room and house leaving Raman thinking about ishita's past.
Raman -i always thought that my past is worst but ishita's past is more painful then me.usne naa sirf apna pyaar khoya balki duniya bhar ke taane bhi sune just because of her disability. And she saw subbu getting married infront of her eyes. Kaisa lagaa hoga usse, I remember how I use to feel whenever I saw shagun with ashok. Kaise jealous hota tha main, ishita too must have gone through same or may be more. But still she has courage to love someone else kid so much. Jabki main khud apne bachche se pyaar nahi kar paa raha tha. It proves how good ishita is at heart. Usne hamesha sabki khushiyon ka khayal rakha and now it's my responsibility to take care of her only wish. I had to save our baby from anything and everything. I have to make sure ki yeh bachcha iss duniya mein aaye, kyunki yeh ishita ke liye bahut maayne rakhta hai, mere liye bhi rakhta hai as its my baby, but ishita ke liye yeh bahut hi jyada keemati hai and I have to save this baby at any cost. He said all determined to save their baby.
Finally it was night, all were sleeping,ishita was also sleeping on the bed while Raman wasn't feeling sleepy. He was tossing and turning on the bed feeling restless for some unknown reason.
After trying hard to sleep he finally got up and said -kya ho gaya hai aaj. Why I am not feeling sleepy today. Jab ki aaj Maine itna kaam kiya, I should be sleeping like a dead man but mujhe toh neend hi nahi aa rahi. Like I have missed something to do.maine socha tha kuch karne ke liye but now I am not able to remember it, aur woh kaam kiye bina mujhe neend bhi nahi aa rahi. He thought and took his laptop to check his work but his every work was already done.
Raman -ajeeb baat hai, every work is done then why I am so restless.he was thinking when his eyes fell on the envelope the doctor gave.
Raman -oh so it's my baby, who is not letting me sleep. He want me to look at him and love him. Naa babu.he said caressing ishita's tummy making ishita wake up. She was about to open her eyes when she heard -oh so my baby want papa to talk to him, tabhi Aap nahi so rahe naa and not even letting papa sleep peacefully. Sahi bhi hai, I should talk to u, tell u how happy papa is by having u in his life. Toh apne baby se baat karna toh banta hai naa. He said settling beside ishita while she just smiled at her raavan Kumar's cuteness.
