Raman got to see Ishita's face while he was holding her hand confessing his love for her and her eyes were moist. He could see the scene like a movie was running in front of his eyes. He smiled and suddenly he felt immense pain in his head, he hold his head tight and fell down screaming, ishita.
Ishita and rishab turned to him hearing his voice and got shocked seeing raman on ground.
Ishita got shocked seeing this and was running to him when simmi came running shouting for her parent. Toshiji and Mr bhalla too came running and simmi start screaming on ishita on top of her voice-i don't know, what evil games u r playing now. Apni zindagi mein aage badh gayi ho naa, ab toh mere bhai ko baksh de.
Toshiji came running and asked -mere puttar ko kya hua??
Simmi -kya hoga maa,iss ishita ne phir koi ghatiya chaal chali.
Toshiji -tu baksh kyun nahi deti mere puttar ko, dekh ishita agar mere Raman ki kuch hua, Main tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karungi.
Ishita start crying hearing this and said -why u r saying this, Raman mere bhi kuch lagti hai. Why I want to harm him.
Toshiji -bakwaas bandh kar, khabardaar joh Raman ke kareeb aayi. Divorce de diya hai naa tune toh dur kyun nahi rehti usse. She said and all took raman inside leaving a crying ishita behind. She looked at rishab and ran inside.
Simmi turned and her and thought -main tera plan samajh gayi hoon and I will not let u be successful in it. Tujhe raman bhai ke kareeb kabhi nahi aane dungi. She said and went inside.
Soon doctor came to check Raman while ishita was standing out of bhalla house to get any news of him. After sometime romi came and informed her that raman is fine and now sleeping.
Ishita thanked romi while he just consoled her that everything will be fine soon.
Soon all went to sleep while ishita was wide awake. She was feeling too restless thinking what will happen.and how Raman will react remembering their past. Lost in thoughts she too slept hugging the pillow.
Later in night, simmi came to Raman's room with a medicine and syringe. She filled the injection with medicine and poked in Raman's skin. He winced in pain in his sleep. She hold his arms tight and said in his ear-ishita was never happy with u, yes she was ur wife but she was never happy with u. U loved her but she never loved u, if u want to see her happy then u have to leave her. Agar ishita ko khushi chahte ho, toh usse chod kar dur chale jao. Saying so she went out and turned to look at him.
Simmi -ab tum wahin karoge joh main chahungi, yeh medicine tumhari yaaddasht kabhi wapas aane nahi degi, in fact u will remember only my words. And will do as per my words. She said and went out smirking.
Next morning, ishita was sleeping when amma came running and said -kanna utho, Raman aaya hai.
Ishita got up at once and said -kya raman aaye hai.
Amma nodded in yes happily.
Ishita -aao jao amma. Main abhi taiyaar ho kar aati hoon.
Amma -ok. She said and went out while ishita went to washroom to freshen up. She took a quick shower and got ready wearing a blue saree, she combed her hair and let it open. Then was about to apply sindoor but stopped and said -ab unse hi lagwaungi.thinking so she blushed and went only to see him sitting wearing a green shirt with formals. She smiled seeing him when he got up and give her a gift.
Ishita -yeh kya hai, Raman.
Raman -gift hai, tumhare liye. Tumhari shaadi ke liye. He said making her face turn pale.
Ishita -meri shaadi ke liye??
Raman -haan ishita, I know I have always behaved badly with u. Shayad issliye meri biwi ko baad bhi tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti, shayad iss liye hi kisi aur se shaadi kar rahi ho. He said making her shocked.
Ishita -nahi raman, it's not like this. Woh toh,
Raman stopped her in mid and said -its OK ishita, waise bhi I don't remember anything. Toh koi kyun mere saath rahega. I am happy for u, hamesha khush rehna rishab ke saath. I will pray for ur happiness and I am really sorry for all the time I misbehaved with u. Kitni baat kiya hai yaad nahi, but a big sorry for everything. Hamesha khush rehna, I am going to London, pata nahi kab wapas aaunga, aaunga bhi yaa nahi.so just wanted to say a final good bye. He said and turned to go. Though he was going away from her, doing things as per his mind but his heart was screaming to stop right there and hug her tight. He was fighting within himself for ishita. His mind was telling him to go away from her while his heart was bleeding to take her in his arms. He even turned to see her and could see her standing with blank expression like his words didn't affected her.
Raman -she don't love u, yeh rishta sirf Ek majburi thi. He thought and went out of iyer house while ishita fell on the floor and cried-nahi, yeh nahi ho sakta. She cried and burst into tears.
Everyone came running hearing her cry and saw her crying bitterly sitting on the floor. All got worried and asked her the reason.
Ishita narrated everything crying bitterly and pushed rishab saying -its all because of u, tumne itna ganda plan banaya, Raman mujhse aur dur ho gaye. Ab main kya karun. Kyun kiya aisa bolo.
Rishab hold her hand and said -i am sorry ishita, mujhe nahi pata tha yeh plan ulta pad jayega.
Ishita -par ab main kya karun. Raman mujhse dur jaa rahe hai, he is thinking I don't love him. Meri khushi ke liye mujhe chod kar jaa rahe hai. So that I can live peacefully with u.unhe lagta hai main unhe pyaar nahi karti. Ab main kya karun. Bolo rishab bolo, my husband, my raman is leaving me. She said crying to which rishab said -i think I have a plan.
Ishita-phir plan,i don't trust u and ur plans anymore .
Rishab -please ishita, just last time. He said pleading .
Ishita -nahi rishab, I don't want to hear any plan of urs.
Rishab -please ishita, one last chance.
Ishita -bolo. She said wiping her tears while he narrated her his plan.
After ten minutes, ishita went and rang cell of bhalla house. Neelu opened the door and welcomed her
Simmi saw ishita and said -tu, tu yahan kya karne aayi hai.
Ishita -mujhe raman se baat karni hai.
Simmi -bhai se, unhe tujhse baat nahi karni.
Ishita -aur tum kaun hoti ho, yeh decide karne wali. Mujhe raman se milna hai, aur main milkar rahungi. She said getting in when Raman came and said -kya ho raha hai yahan par.
Simmi -ishita ko aapse baat karni hai. Main keh rahi hoon jao but she is not listening, aap hi bolo. Shayad chali jaaye.
Ishita -raman, u gave me a gift, I too want to give u a gift. Bas aapke dil minute lungi.
Raman thought for a while and said -bolo.
Ishita -if we can talk in private. She said looking at simmi.
Simmi-bhai ko tujhse kuch baat nahi karni private mein. She was saying when ishita hold Raman's hand and took him to his room and locked the room making him confuse.
Raman -kya gift hai, and what u want to talk.
Ishita forwarded her hand and kept something in his hand and closed his hand. He opened his hand and saw it was her mangalsutra.
