Hello friends back with new update .
Part 2
Ishita folded her hands in gratitude and spoke " it's not always about money ,but the problem is I don't have my helps at this time and as an owner of this guest house ,I have to take care of guests and fulfill their needs . Even the incident of last night was shocked for me too as I never do all these things rather no lady staff does that but as non of my staff was there ,I had to do that and that incident took place . I m so very much thankful for your help sir ,that's so nice if you ."
R- ohh ,sorry to poke my nose in this but just wanted to ask ,don't you have any male in your house , who can do all these .
I(sadly )- no I m a widow .
Raman felt bad listening to her and spoke " I m so sorry for your loss but don't you have any make member ,I mean your brother ,or may be father in law or brother in law ."
I- unfortunately no ,the life is not so easy for everyone sir . we were two daughters of our parents and after my marriage appa ,amma happily send me to my in-laws house . They thought that they had chosen a nice life for me but my life was never bed or roses but always filled with thorns .My husband was step son my present mother in law ,so she never like him and later me. She always instigate my father in law against us and use to bother me a lot .I use to tell same thing to my husband but he always ignored but once my brother in law tried to misbehave with me and I told same to my husband ,that day there was a huge fight in our house and finally my father in law ,threw us out of the house and his property . Fortunately we had this guest house, which was property of my husband's own grandfather's property which he has gifted on our marriage . This guest house supported us a lot ,though we don't earn much as it in front of huge resort but it was enough for us but seems god didn't liked that also . One night my husband was coming from a party ,he was heavily drunk and he got banged with a electricity pole and died on the spot . My mother in law and her kids were too happy that my husband died and now I m alone so I would go back to them but as I knew there true colors I didn't go back to them rather started taking care of this guest house alone . They don't like this and always trues to bother me ,sometimes my brother in law instigate my helps that I m giving them less money and they can earn more than this working in another hotel ,sometimes he himself come here and threaten me . They even talk dirty about me and had spread wrong news about me but believe me sir ,I m a decent woman its just my luck was never at my side .
R- that's so bad ,but what about your parents .
I- they are living their own life ,they had done their share of job now how can I bother them in this old age because of my bad luck .
R- and your helps ,where does they go .
I- two of them are not well ,one lady is there ,her child is sick ,a housekeeper has just left the job and as its festival season two of them had gone on leave to celebrate Christmas .I had called a boy yesterday but he works in day time only .
R- ohh I see.I m so sorry ish...
I- ishita .
R- I m so sorry ishita as I got unnecessarily angry on you . I didn't know the truth and just assumed .
I- its ok sir ,it was not your fault but really thank you so much for your help ,don't know what would had happened if you were not there .
R- no need to thank me so much ,its just they were doing wrong ,so I helped you .
I- you are right ,but not every one does that rather many ignore it and let it go .
R- yeah ,but I m not in those many .
I- humm ..
Before ishita says anything else , her mobile rang as someone has called her ,she excused herself and went from there . He was still sitting in his balcony thinking about ishita when mihir and Romi showed up ,and they took Raman from there without letting him have his breakfast as they were having their breakfast in resort itself . Raman too got ready and went with them . They all had their breakfast in resort and then went for exploring Goa from there itself . Though Raman was denying , saying he would love to rest in his room but they managed to take him out with them .
R- you people go ,I m not feeling like to go anywhere .
Mi- arey bhai don't be spoil spot ,we are here to enjoy and every time you are denying for going with us .
Ri- yes ,even you are not living with us also ,atleast hamaare saath ghoomne to chalo .
R- ok baba ,you people always convince me .
All went happily for exploring Goa.
Everyone was enjoying as almost whole Goa was decorated with stars,Christmas trees ,and other decorations but Raman was all lost .He was time and again recalling about Ishita only and thinking she has gone through so much and now also fighting alone with everything . He can feel a connection with her ,just the difference was his family is with him and he is living a peaceful lone and silent life while Ishita's life is full of struggle and still that last manages to smile in front of everyone and doing her job efficiently hiding her pain.
On the other hand ishita got little free as today two of her helps who were sick has come back to there job. She went to her room and sat in the balcony ,and recalled all the happenings of last two days sipping her coffee , that's when she recalled her meeting with raman ,their little conversation , then his complain ,her giving her personal number to him ,him saving her from those drunk boys and his scoldings.She saving herself by sharing her life ,that's when she realized that she has told everything about her to an unknown person .She smacked her head and spoke cursing herself " what you did ishita .he is a stranger ,just a guest at you guest house and you had shared all your life with him . "
Ishita's mind scolded her while her heart defended " he seems to be a nice man ,waise bhi he was considering me wrong ,so I cleared his doubts only ".
IM- but what was the need to tell your whole story.
IH- He was thinking bad about me .i just cleared .
IM- he is just a random guest like others what was the need .
IH-bol diya to bol diya ,kya farak padta hai ,he will go after two three days .
IM- that's what the problem is ,don't share your sorrows with everyone, no one will understand how alone you are .
IH- may be you are right but don't know why he seems to be different from everyone . I agree no one will understand my problem but don't know why I felt some pull towards him .
IM- are you feeling something for him .
IH- no nothing like that ,its just he helped me and even scolded me thinking I was with those drunk men .
IM- that's right that he had helped you but don't you dare to think anything more than thanking him ,as its sin for you ,you are a widow and you don't have right to think anything about anyone .
I(st)- I too know about that ,and I m not keeping any hopes from anybody ,its just he is a nice man ,helped me that's why I was thinking about him .That's all .
She finally sipped her last sip and ended the argument in her and tried to concentrate on her work but time and again her mind was going on him ,she was sitting in reception from where his room was visible and she was checking either he returned or not ...
On the other hand Raman too was thinking about ishits time and again,, he so wanted to go back to guest house soon but other couples were enjoying a lot . Any how the day spend and they went back to the resort and rest house back . He called at Ishita's number for water but to his surprise another help come with water . He got Lil disappointed but at the same time he was relieved too . He saw the boy and asked " you work here ".
The boy - yes sir .
R- you didn't come yesterday .
The boy - I was sick .
R- what's your name .
M- mahesh .
R- and the lady who was doing work yesterday .
M- she is our madam ,maalkin hai yahaan ki .
R- ohh ,where is she now .
M- she must he in her room or doing something in her office .
R- can you please bring a tea for me .
M- ok sir .
Saying so the boy went while Raman came out and looked for ishita but she was no where ,soon the boy showed up with his tea . Raman told him to keep it and go ,the boy did same . After he went Raman took his tea and started sipping it ,standing in the balcony . He had first sip and realized its ginger tea ,he smiled and recalled that yesterday he has asked ginger tea from her and today she fulfilled his demand.
He thought to thank her ,thinking so he thanked her in her WhatsApp ,she saw it and smiled ,in answer she just send a smiling smiley .ending the conversation there itself .
The rest of the day spend normally, slowly all the helps of ishita has come and now she became free with other works . Ishra didn't talked further after that day but both steal glances at each other and gave smiles if their eyes met . Sometimes ishita ask him about the services for which he answer positively. Like this their holiday ended and today Raman and group were returning to Delhi . Ishita herself was sitting in counter ,she was looking little gloomy and disturbed today which was noticed by Raman but he didn't asked anything, both wished each other Raman completed the formalities and checked out . He was observing her keenly when she was writing the register,after writing she passed the register to him for signing ,he asked for pen ,she gave it to him ,while taking the pen their hands met passing a current through their bodies ,both saw each other and shared a brief eyelock which was broken with the voice of another guest ,who has just arrived and was checking in.She signalled them to wait ,and thanked Raman for visiting and then got busy in the other guest , Raman stood their for sometimes thinking she will see him but she was busy ,he finally took his luggage and was going out ,he was about to step out but before he thought to check her again ,he turned and saw ,she was already looking at him . Their eyes met again ,both gave a meek smile as they were caught, then ishita waved bye to him ,he too did same and went away while ishita was still looking at the direction where he went . Though non of them had talked much in these days but they had formed a unknown bond between them and now both were feeling sad as they were parting .
That's all for now friends ,hope you like it . Enjoy reading and do comment.
