Ishra ts-mujhe aajmaati hai teri kami,epilogue on pg 132 updt on 10/12 - Page 74

Raman cried her name and fall on the ground.

Raman -aise kaise chod kar jaa sakti ho tum mujhe, no u can't leave me like this. U promised me u will never leave me. Then how can u. He said and cried for long.

After hours, mahesh called him. He picked the call only to hear that the news of him being fine spread like fire and as he was one of the most popular and demanding actor, producers start calling Mahesh to sign raman for their upcoming movies. Mahesh was happily sharing the news, Raman too want to be happy but can't be as his happiness, his smile everything went away with ishita. He just hung the call and cried pouring his pain.

Soon time start flying, eight months passed, Raman got everything he lost, even more. He was more popular then before all thanks to the heartwrenching roles he did. He increased his work to much extent to forget the pain of ishita being away from him but sadly nothing helped him in forgetting ishita, infact his pain increased to manifolds. His work was increased to the extent that mahesh has to keep his cousin, mihir for his help. Very soon Raman and mihir shared a beautiful bond. Raman told mihir everything about ishita and mihir took the responsibility of finding ishita. Raman thanked him and start waiting for ishita but neither his wait ended nor raman could find solace in anything. He usually woke up in nights remembering her lovely touches and cry his heart out. He prayed to matarani to give him his ishita back ,he even tried every means to find her but sadly couldn't find her anywhere.

It was evening, raman was still sitting just looking at the pendant, he caressed the pendant for the nth time and said -u have told me that u will never leave me alone then why u left me alone ishita, kam se kam ek baar mujhe bolne ka mauka toh diya hota that how much I love u. Kyun chod kar chali gayi iss tarah mujhe. Kyun zindagi de kar meri saansein cheen kar le gayi ishita, kyun aakhir kyun.he was saying crying when his phone rang. He was in no mood to pick it up but hearing the continuous ring, he picked it and said -kya mihir, can't u just let me be in peace. Kyun mujhe chain nahi de rahe. He said in irritation only to hear, bhai I got a gift for u.

Raman -i don't need any gift mihir. If u can do something for me then bring my ishita. He said sadly.

Mihir -aur agar main kahun that I actually brought ur ishita as ur birthday gift toh.

Raman got shocked hearing this and said -tell me u r telling the truth.

Mihir smiled and said -she is waiting for u in ur drawing room. Jaldi aayen. He said making raman surprised.

Raman got up from his place and said -kya, kya kaha tumne. Tum sach keh rahe ho. Ishita, meri ishita meri jaan ishita, she is here.

Mihir -haan.

Raman -tum jhooth bol rahe ho naa. U r just doing this to fool me naa.

Mihir -i don't have a reason to do so. And if u don't trust me then come and check it urself.

Raman -I am coming. He said and ran out of the room to go to the drawing room. The pendant which she gifted him once was in his hand.

He ran to the hall without stopping and entered the room only to see her standing holding the rim of the couch while amma appa was standing on either side on her, she has gained weight, looking chubby while her eyes have got dark circles like she was sick. She was looking weak also.

Raman smiled fully seeing her after almost eight months and walked to her. She too walked to him, both were walking slowly, ishita's leg got stuck into the chair's leg and she was about to fall when raman hold her. He look at her while she was also looking at him. Both shared an intense eye lock and finally he took her in a bone crushing hug. She just closed just eyes feeling his warmth. He smiled like a maniac while tears were flowing continuously from both the pair of eyes. Raman hugged her tight for long and finally asked looking at mihir -from where u get her.

Mihir -she was in pudukottai,a village in Tamil nadu. She was living there from the time she left London.she was working as doctor there.

Raman -pudu, how u got her then. Iss gaon ka toh naam bhi nahi suna.

Appa -i called him, actually I called u by the number given by u. As u know after leaving London she never came back to us also. We tried every means to find her like u but never got any info about her. But last week one of my friend's relative told me that he has seen ishita in pudukottai. At first I didnt believed her as we have thought she must be somewhere in abroad but when we go there we got shocked. She was living all alone there.naa koi family, naa relative kou help bhi nahi, she was just all alone. We tried to convince her to call u but she don't want to come to u, even she was not ready to come with us. We stay there a whole week to convince her and finally she came with us to Chennai but didn't allowed us to call u. But jab tak yeh hospital mein thi, I thought to call u, coz its ur right to know about her. He said making raman look at ishita. She looked down knowing he will be angry.

Raman -whats this ishita, main maanta hoon tum mujhse naraaz thi, u don't want to be with me, so u went away but iss tarah apni zindagi se hi alag ho jaana, it's not right. Aisa kyun kar rahi thi, kyun apni saare rishton ko khud se dur kar diya tha khud se. He asked cupping her face.

Ishita -kyunki naa main kisi ko force karna chahti thi aur naa hi chahti thi ki koi mujhe force kare, so I went leaving everyone. Main jaanti thi ki agar aapke saath rahi toh Aap mujh par taras kha kar mujhse shaadi kar lenge aur amma appa ke paas gayi toh woh meri shaadi zabardasti adiraaj se karwa denge, so I went away from u all.

Raman -tu ekdum paagal hai, ab tak samjhi nahi that I love u, tujhpe taras nahi kha sakta, balki tu hai jisne mujhpe par taras khaya, actually taras nahi, it was ur love. Ur pure love, tabhi toh itne dare sahe tune but u never come to me. But now, I will not let u go away from me. Tujhse bahut pyaar karta hoon aur isse saabit karne ke liye toh karwana chahti hai karwa le,bas itna keh de ki tune mujhe maaf kiya aur tujhe mera pyaar accept hai.

Ishita cried hearing this and said -bas ek baar keh dijiye that u love me. Kisi majburi yaa zabardasti nahi, kisi kaaran se nahi, u love me just because u love me. Bas ek baar keh dijiye raman, that u love me pure dil se. She said while tears make way down her cheek.

Raman wiped her tears and said kneeling down -yes ishita, I love u. Aaj se nahi shayad hamesha se, par samajh hi nahi paaya,tabhi toh uss tarah tumhara dil toda. Tabhi iss tarah tumhe apni zindagi se nikaal diya but trust me, tumhari jagah kisi ko nahi de paaya. Tabhi toh naa koi dost bacha, naa koi apna, sirf pride bacha, ego bacha. Rkb banne ke chakker mein raman ko kho diya but thanks to u, u gave me Raman back. Tumne naa sirf mere ander dil hone ka ehsaas karaya balki usse dhadkana bhi shikhaya. U made me live again. Meri zindagi mein meri dost ban kar aayi aur meri zindagi ban gayi. Now please don't go leaving me, kyunki main nahi jee sakta tumhare bina, main bahut pyaar karta hoon tumse. Infact joh tumhare liye feel karta hoon, usse describe ke liye words nahi hai mere paas, so all I can say that never leave me alone again, mera koi nahi tere siva. He said with teary eyes while ishita just close her eyes feeling contented with his heartfelt confession.

Both were standing in the same position for sometime and finally raman said not getting any response-kuch bol toh, my legs r giving away. Main gir jaaunga.

Ishita bend and said taking hik in hug-i won't let u fall raman, I won't let u fall. She said and both hugged each other tight all happy and smiling. Her parent and mihir smiled seeing them so happy after long.
