Raman was sitting with ishita enjoying the function when Raman said -u sit here, I just came.going to washroom, tum Kahin mat jaana, OK.
Ishita nodded and raman went. After five minutes he came and found again ishita was nowhere. He looked around and saw she was sitting beside abhi. He got angry seeing her with abhi and went to him.
Raman -why u again took her here. Kitni baar tumhe samjhaun ,stay away from my babu.
Abhi -relax Raman, why u r being so protective. Few girls came and sat on ur chair, she tried to tell them that ,that seat is urs but they scolded her. Ro rahi thi, toh main le aaya. Kuch galat kiya kya, she was crying and searching for u. He said and Raman saw two of his classmates where sitting on their chairs and was laughing. Raman got angry and went to them angrily and said -how dare u scold ishita.
Girl-humne kya kiya, humne kuch nahi kiya, woh khud ro rahi hogi.hum toh bas uska naam puch rahe the, Pata nahi kya bol rahi thi, so we laughed and she started crying. Gungi Kahin ki.she said and both start laughing.
Raman -dont u dare to say that, tum log kitne gande ho, woh kitni choti hai aur tum log usse rula rahe ho.
Girl-choti hai toh bachchon ke saath baithe naa ,why she was occupying our seats. These chairs r for big students but for pg kids.
Raman -woh yahin baithegi, mere saath. Hato meri seat de warna I have my own ways to handle u two. He said to which they said -really, dikhao, kya karoge. She said and Raman pulled one of them and make her fall. She started crying on top of her voice seeing attention of teachers. One of the teacher came and said -what happened, why u people r creating mess here.
Girl-maam, Raman pushed me, main gir gayi. Mujhe lag gayi.
Teacher -what kind of behaviour is this raman. Tum toh achche bachche ho.
Raman -maam, this is my chair. I was sitting with ishita. Main toilet gaya toh yeh dono ne usse bhaga kar, yahan baith gayi. Dekhiye she is crying. He said showing her ishita, who was still sobbing.
Teacher went to ishita and asked -what happened ishita, did they pushed u. Did they make u cry.
Ishita was trying to tell her what actually happened but nobody was understanding her signs, so abhi told teacher what exactly happened.
Teacher got angry and punished both the girls. They went showing tongue to Raman while Raman took ishita in his arms and said -thank u abhi, and sorry for shouting on u.
Abhi -its OK, waise bhi she is cute like a doll. Meri sister ki tarah cute hai. Woh bhi Iske class mein hi padhti hai. Uski achchi friend hai ishita, thats why I saved her. He said and Raman smiled.
Abhi -i really feel bad, poor girl was crying. Nobody was able to understand what she was saying,poor soul was searching for u. It's so difficult to be like this. I think uncle should get her admit in a school where kids like her study. I mean school for special kids. He said while ishita hide into Raman listening this.
Raman -nahi, yeh mere saath hi padegi, uncle was telling he don't want to admit her in such school. As she was very gloomy there and she feels happy with me.
Abhi -ok, but then also. She should learn sign language, after all, she too need way to convey her feelings. He said making Raman think.
Raman -haan, baat toh sahi hai. She too need ways to convey her feeling. Kyunki yeh sirf mujhse toh baat nahi karegi. She have to talk with all. He thought and decided to talk about it to their parents.
Soon the function ended and appa came to pick them. Ishita was sleeping peacefully in the back seat while Raman was sitting silently. Seeing raman too silent appa asked -what happened kanna, why u r so silent. Kuch soch rahe ho kya.
Raman -yes uncle, today abhi told me that ishita should know sign language to convey her thoughts. Aap usse sign language kyun nahi sikhate. He said while appa looked at him.
Raman -kya hua uncle, did I said something wrong.
Appa -no kanna, u r right, absolutely right. I am just at u amazed at ur concern for her, u r just eight but u think so much about her. Thank u for being with her always, she would be so alone without u.
Raman -its nothing like that uncle. It's just I don't like her crying. Aap boliye naa why she didn't learned sign language.
Appa -i tried kanna, I even admitted her in classes to learn sign language. But yeh comfortable nahi rehti, she start crying feeling alone. Actually I don't know what's her real problem but one thing I know for sure that she is not comfortable.
Raman -hume phir se try Karna chahiye, she should learn. Woh kisi se apni problem share nahi kar paati and it's sad. He said to which appa nodded.
They reached home and appa talked with Mr bhalla about her classes. They searched for few classes and finallt settled on a class which was pretty famous in that field.
Next day, they reached to the coaching class, they introduced ishita to the teacher. She tried to talk to ishita but she hide inside her appa.
Appa -she is little introvert. She take time to make friends.
Teacher-its ok, waise bhi these special kids want more time then normal one. Waise kya disability hai isme, I mean she is dumb or dumb and deaf both.
Raman -meri babu mein koi disability nahi hai. He said getting angry when Mr bhalla glared at him and told him to be silent.
Mr bhalla -sorry, my son is very protective for her.
Teacher -its OK, she said and glared raman.
Appa -she can't talk but can hear.
Teacher-good, then she can learn the things faster. Aap log chod dijiye isse,can pick her after two hours.
Appa-can we stay here, woh thoda ghabra jaati hai akele.
Teacher -no, u can't stay here. I can't allow. Aapke rehne se woh distract hogi aur kuch nahi sikhegi.
Raman -main ruk jaun, I will sit silently next to her.
Teacher -no way, tum kaise bachche allowed nahi hai mere class mein. She said glaring him and then said looking at Mr iyer -i hope u understand.
Appa nodded and all went leaving ishita there. She start crying seeing them leaving and hold her father's pant.
Appa picked her in his arms and said -kanna, ma'am is good. She will help u. Tumhe sign language sikhayengi, so that u can also talk with others. He was consoling her while she was just crying.
Teacher took her from appa and said -aap log jaiye, I know how to handle them.
Appa and Mr bhalla turn to go while she was still crying looking at Raman for help. He was looking at her and said -papa, hum yahan baahar baith kar wait kar sakte hai. She is crying so much.
Appa look at ishita and said -i think this will be right, she is really frightened.
Mr bhalla too nodded. Raman ran to her and said wiping her tears -dont worry we r here only. U go and learn everything, OK.
Ishita got happy hearing this and went with the teacher.
She sat with other kids and teacher start teaching them. She was teaching them basics while ishita was looking outside for them every now and then. Teacher scolded her for being absentminded and again start teaching.
One hour passed, ishita was sitting in the class trying to learn what the teacher was teaching but sadly she wasn't getting anything.she just wanted to go home, she was looking outside for raman and appa. Now even teacher was getting tired of ishita.
Teacher -whats wrong with u ishita, I am trying hard to make u understand but u r not getting anything. Never seen such an idiot girl in my life. She scolded ishita and she start crying.
Appa and Mr bhalla who were sitting outside the class with raman hear her cry and trio came in. They saw ishita crying and Raman went to her. He caressed her hair lovingly while ishita hugged him tight crying.
Appa-what happened, why she is crying.
Teacher-i am trying to make her understand a single sign from one hour but she is not at all understanding. Seems like she is not at all interested in learning sign language. I don't know what's wrong with her.
Mr bhalla -please aise chillaiye mat, she is very small. All this is new for her, she may take sometime to adjust.
Teacher -i understand but kitna time doon,aur bhi bachche hai, all r dumb but fast learners, Ek Aap hi ki beti alag type ki gungi nahi hai joh main pura din usse doon.disability alag cheez hai but she is not at all interested in learning sign language. She said harshly making appa and Mr bhalla feel bad. They were about to say something when Raman said -meri babu disable nahi hai and don't u dare to call her dumb. U don't want to teach her naa, then don't teach her anything. Main khud seekhaunga usse sign language. I don't need someone like u for my babu.he said and went out taking ishita in his arms while appa and Mr bhalla was just looking at Raman with shocked expression.
Mr bhalla -sorry, don't know why he behaved like this, he is in well behaved boy.
Teacher -yes I can see that, u know what Mr iyer, this is sheer disgusting, aapki beti padhna nahi chahti aur woh ladka usse padhne nahi dena chahta. Mark my words, he is ruining ur daughter's future. She said making mr bhalla feel sad.
Appa-sorry to say ma'am, but u r wrong. Raman is not ruining her future, infact he is the one who really cares for her. Khud itna chota hai but still he is so protective towards her. He himself told me to bring her here but now when he took the responsibility to teach her, I am very sure he will do that. Kyunki usse achcha meri beti ka koi nahi soch sakta. Infact I am feeling disgusting seeing u as a teacher. Aapki classes toh bandh kar deni chahiye. The way u r treated a small child is disgusting not Raman and his care for ishita is disgusting. Got that. He said and went out with Mr bhalla only to see Raman sitting with ishita feeding her lollipop.
Both smiled seeing at Ishra and appa said -sorry omi, because of us, usne raman ko aisa kaha, but I know he is the best my ishita can get and I can never thank him enough for taking care of my baby so much.
Mr bhalla -its OK, log kehte hai toh kehne do. I am glad that u didn't think that way. He said smiling and both went to ishra.
