It was evening, Raman was sitting in his room thinking about the incident taking place in his life.
Raman -i don't know what is happening with me. At first I met ishita in Budapest and felt a connection with her. Then I got to know that she is a killer. I wanted to hate her but woh bhi nahi hua mujhse, I literally died seeing her dead. Kisi tarah bachaya usse and then I told her to go away just coz I can't see simmi crying over her loss. Phir ishita ne mujhse kaha that she is my wife and I slapped her. Kyun kiya maine aisa, don't know how I slapped a woman. I was feeling guilty for this but isse pehle main kuch react karta, ishita came with proof and took pihu away making me angry again. Naa sirf usne mujhse pihu cheen li but she took away my all property too. I tried to be angry with her but mujhe khud par gussa aa raha hai. Kyunki itna hone ke baad bhi mujhe kuch yaad nahi hai. Ishita kehti hai ki woh meri biwi hai aur main isse bahut pyaar karta tha, toh aakhir mujhe kuch bhi yaad kyun nahi hai. Kuch toh yaad aana chahiye. Kyun kuch yaad nahi hai. He said getting restless when simmi came with a glass of juice and gave him to drink. He drink it in a go and she smirked-aapko kabhi kuch yaad nahi aayega, main yaad aane nahi dungi. She thought and went out smirking.
On the other hand, rishab was sitting with ishita and family telling his plan.
All got shocked hearing his plan and bala said -yeh jaruri hai kya. Kya koi aur raasta nahi hai raman ki yaaddasht wapas laane ki.
Rishab -raaste toh bahut hai bala, but uski family allow nahi karegi. Ishita kitni bhi koshish kar usse baat karne ki, usse yaad dilane ki. Noone will let her do so. Toh Hume kuch aisa Karna hoga ki raman khud chahe sab yaad karna. Woh khud chahe ki usse ishita ke baare mein sab yaad aa jaaye. See ishita, abhi raman ka dimaag kaam nahi kar raha. He is like under hypnotism. Woh utna hi kar raha hai jitna simmi chah rahi hai. We have to give a bang to his brain taaki woh actually kaam karna shuru kare. Iske liye uski medicine rokni jaruri hai aur uske liye jaruri hai ki woh khud initiative le. Khud chahe ki usse sab yaad aa jaaye. Aur yeh tab hi hoga jab raman ko ehsaas hoga ki agar usse kuch yaad nahi aaya toh shayad ishita usse dur chali jaaye.
Ishita -but rishab, this is just so huge,agar raman ko tab bhi kuch yaad nahi aaya toh.
Rishab -toh shaadi kar lena mujhse. He said smiling.
Ishita -khoon naa kar doon main tera.she said angrily making rishab smile.
Rishab -see ishita, yaad toh raman ko tab tak nahi aayega puri tarah jab tak woh medicine lena bandh nahi kar deta, and for that he has to know that someone is playing with him. Aur yeh usse tab hi pata chalega when he himself consult a psychiatrist. Hum yeh sab issliye hi karenge taaki raman ko khud zarurat mehsoos ho thik hone ki.
Ishita -agar aisa nahi hua toh.
Rishab -he loves u naa,jab tu marne lagi thi toh woh pareshan tha naa.
Ishita nodded in yes.
Rishab -toh jab tu usse dur jaane lagegi toh woh kyun nahi restless hoga. Woh zarur restless hoga, aur tab woh teri baat bhi sunega aur thik bhi hona chahega. And in between we will try our level best to make him remember his past with u.
Ishita -woh kaise??
Rishab -that I will tell u later. Bas aap log yeh samajh lijiye aap sabko kya Karna hai aur kaise. He said and told all of them the plan.
All nodded listening to his plan and got ready to go in the felicitation of Raman. All got ready and went to reach the venue while bhallas too reach the venue on time.
Ishita was sitting with pihu while Raman was looking at them and thinking how happy pihu is with ishita.
Raman -kya ishita sach mein meri biwi hai, yes she showed me all the proof but still mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi. Kya hai aisa mere saath joh galat hai. He was thinking and getting frustrated when ishita got up and hugged a guy. Raman's eyes got stopped at them and he was thinking who the man is when he saw the man sitting beside ishita.
Soon the felicitation started and raman was called, though he was on stage but still his eyes were on ishita and that man.
Soon the function got over and all were going home, Raman's eyes were on ishita and the person all the time.
All were going out when they saw the person going on knee infront of ishita and proposing her by a ring. Bhallas gor shocked seeing this and walked closer to them and heard -hey ishita, u know I always loved u, aur jab aaj tum ekdum akele ho, I want to hold ur hand forever. Please be mine. He said making all shocked including raman.
Ishita -yeh kya keh rahe ho rishab, u know naa I am already married.
Rishab -haan, aur main yeh bhi jaanta hoon that he don't remember u anymore. Mujhe mani ne sab bata diya hai, in fact he brought me here. Ishita I loved u always, please marry me. He said and ishita looked at Raman. He was looking at her with shocked expression.
Seeing no response from him ishita looked at rishab and said -i can't take this decision all of a sudden.
Rishab -yaar tera pati tujhe biwi nahi maanta, infact he slapped u when u told him the truth. That means he is not ready to accept u. Toh tu kyun uske peeche jaan dena chahti hai. Ishita sometimes it is good to just let it go. And now the time has come to let it go. U have to move on, ur husband is no more urs. Toh tum kyun zindagi bhar uska intezaar karo.marry me ishita.
Ishita was just looking at rishab when amma said-i too want u to get married ishu, ab iss shaadi mein kuch nahi bacha. U will be always under scrutiny. I want u to live happily.
Appa -haan kanna, I too want u to say yes, aisa mauka baar baar nahi milta.
Bala -i too want u to move ahead, ishu jab vandu ki death hui thi, u told me to move ahead. Aaj tumhare paas bhi woh chance hai, move ahead in life ishita. They were telling ishita when Toshiji said -yeh Aap log kya keh rahe hai. Ishita ko dobara shaadi, she is already married, uski shaadi hui hai raman se.
Amma-achcha, aaj tumko yeh yaad aa raha hai. Where were u when that day ur son slapped my ishu for telling the same, maaro raman, slap ur mother today for uttering the same. She said making raman look down in guilt.
Amma -bahut seh liya ishu ne, tum sabke selfishness ke kaaran. Now I want her to move ahead. She was saying when rishab said -marry me madrasan, waise bhi tu mad madrasan hai, aur Ek mad madrasan ke liye ek paagal punjabi ki hi jarurat hoti hai. He said making raman shocked, the word madrasan and pagal punjabi start ringing in his mind. He start getting flashes of a couple calling with same name to each other. He tried to remember but couldn't remember anything. At last he went from there all frustrated. Bhallas too went behind him while rishab got up and said -chalo, aaj ka kaam khatam. Now he will give stress to his mind to remember u.
Ishita -he will be fine naa.
Rishab-he has to be, usse tere liye thik hona hoga. Chal shaadi ki taiyaari Karen. He said and all iyers went home.
That night Raman was sitting and trying hard to remember something about ishita but sadly couldn't get anything as simmi gave him pills again.
Next morning, Raman was having breakfast with his family when the door bell rang. Neelu opened it only to see ishita coming with rishab. Raman felt a prick in his heart seeing ishita with rishab.
She walked to raman and gave him some papers. Raman saw them and got shocked to see them.
Raman -divorce papers.
Rishab -ishita is giving u divorce, phir hum shaadi karenge. Tumhari medical report saath mein lagaa di hai, toh tum log ko divorce jaldi mil jayega. Waise bhi hum isse apne aas paas nahi dekhna chahte the. So I am taking her away. Sign it raman. He said making all shocked while param simmi got happy.
Raman looked at ishita, ishita too looked at him. They shared an intense eye lock which got broken by simmi and she said -tumhe kya lagta hai, bhai tumhare bina jee nahi sakte. He can live without u. Bhai sign kar do isse.
Raman looked at simmi and she said -sign it bhai, aapko yaad hai naa yeh kaun hai, meri bachchi ki kaatil. If u love me then sign it. She said and raman signed the papers. A tear escape ishra eyes but they wiped it in a jiffy.
Ishita went out with rishab while Raman went to his room. Param and simmi smirked looking at each other. Slowly all went to their rooms.
