HHello friends back with new update .Part 5
Ishita went out from his room leaving a disappointed Raman behind though both of them wanted to talk much more but cannot as they don't have any topic to talk moreover they had their own boundaries . Ishita reached to her room and closed the door .She leaned on the door and took a long breath ,she closed her eyes and unknown to her a year rolled from them . She didn't bother to wipe those tears and thought " what I m doing ,chee how can I be so cheap . thinking about a unmarried person , but what should I do ,I don't want to think about him . Nahin chahti main unke bare mein sochna then why again and again his thoughts are coming in my mind . "
She cursed herself for thinking about Raman as she is a widow and he is unmarried . She then wiped her tears and then decided " no ishita you shouldn't think about him ,he is not for you ,no actually you are not suitable for him so stop thinking about him . he is here for a meeting and will go from here . stop thinking that he had come here for you and he stayed here because his expensive watch was with me ,got that .now wipe your tears and get back to your work shrugging his thoughts . He is non to you and you cannot become anyone to him ."
Thinking so she went to washroom , washed her face for much time ,then came out ,made a nice coffee for herself and sat to have it . All the time she was going on wiping her tears while they were going on flowing again and again ,she actually don't know the reason as she had just grown a feeling for a random person ,whom she don't even know nicely and now she was feeling bad for him ,feeling too empty thinking she don't have place in his life .
She was lost in her thoughts when a help entered the room and called her for some work ,she thought working is the best thing to forget him .Thinking so she busied herself in work while on the other side Raman was too restless ,he was very much eager to meet her but when he came here she didn't come to meet him and when she came to meet him ,they don't have anything to talk . non of them initiated any talks and she left without any further talk , making him think , that why he is be coming so restless when ,she is not taking any initiative .He has come to Goa from Delhi just to meet her and here she isn't even showing her happiness . He got sad thinking that may he only has feeling for her while she just took care of him as one if his guest . Juggling between the thoughts ,ishra'a that day was spend . Next day Raman got up and was about to call to attendant for his morning tea and newspaper but then he thought otherwise and went to reception . And seems his decision of going till reception was a good decision
he saw her sitting in the reception , talking to one of the guest who seems to be checking out . He walked to the counter and stood there ,she raised her eyes and was about to ask " how may I help you " but stopped seeing him standing there . Her voice chocked in her throat while their eyes got locked for a brief time which ishita herself broke and spoke " excuse me Mr bhalla ,just a moment .let me finish this".
Saying so she got busy in her work but surely has become conscious as Raman eyes was always on her ,he so wanted to withdrew his eyes from her but cannot as she was looking too fresh and pure in those wet long tendrils ,indicating that she has just taken bath . He stood there waiting for her ,the person was gone and the moment she looked to Raman for asking thats when a family arrived to book a room . She looked at Raman with pleading eyes while he signalled her to resume her work . She got busy in her work while he got busy in admiring her . He mentally laughed at himself as this was first time he is waiting for someone so long without getting irritated ,why would he if he is getting a nice chance to ogle at his now a days favorite person , without any embarrassment as she was too busy to notice ,little did he know that how much his presence was making her nervous as well as conscious.
The people who just came, wanted to check the room,she called the attendant and instructed him to show the room . She then looked at Raman and spoke " Mr bhalla I m sorry to keep you waiting , you please be comfortable in your room ,you just tell what you want ,I will be there in room with your order ."
R- that will be nice ,I wanted my tea and newspaper .
I- (passing the paper to him)- here is the newspaper ,you take it ,I will be there in few minutes with your ginger tea .
She spoke in a go ,trying to treat him like a normal guest but she only know how difficult it was for her to ignore him for anyone else . He nodded took the paper and turned to go to his room ,while ishita went to kitchen for making tea for him. Soon she was done with tea and was about to call the attendant to take the tea to Raman's room but then recalled that she had told that she will bring the tea herself . If not may be he can be mad like yesterday ,thinking so she took the trsy and went towards Raman room ,she knocked the door . He opened the door immediately as if he was waiting for her ,she kept the tea in the table and turn to go that's when her leg got twisted ,she lost her balance and was about to fall when he got up in jiffy and held her . She held her in nick of time ,while her face got fully covered by her hairs he slowly removed the hair strands from her face while she closed her eyes feeling butterflies in her stomach ,both were lost in the moment, she on his touch while he in her beauty. They remain in same position for long time as they were juggling between mind and heart ,their heart wanted to embrace themselves in each other while mind was telling them to part . Non listen to other and they were still in same position when they heard some chaos outside . Ishita stood up straight and went out to see the matter while Raman too went behind her . He saw some men were standing there asking for ishita from the receptionist while she was trying to call her . Ishita reached there and soon all of them went to her cabin ,Raman didn't liked it . He too wanted to join them but technically its not right . He stood there for sometimes then went back to his room .
After sometimes he get ready for his meeting ,he went out of his room and was still looking for ishita but he didn't found her ,finally he asked the receptionist about her .The receptionist told that ishita us busy in a meeting , Raman didn't asked anything further and went out .The day passed now it was evening ,Raman returned and as per his habit he tried to catch some glimpse of Ishita but she was nowhere . He went to his room ,freshen up and then went to balcony . He was looking around randomly when he saw ishita standing in the backyard looking at nowhere. He couldn't stop himself and went to her ,he saw her standing silently doing nothing ,as if she is has some tension. He so wanted to go and ask her the reason for the same but was thinking, is it right to interfere in others matter.
He thought for long and finally went to her.
Raman -hello, ishita ji.
Ishita turned hearing his voice and said -Mr bhalla. Aap yahan??
Raman -actually I was standing in my room ,saw you here ,so came to you . are you ok ?
I- humm ,mujhe kya hua ?
R- but you are not looking ok rather,the lines of worry are clearly visible on your forehead . you can tell me ,what's the problem.?
Ishita -problem, nahi toh. I am fine, yeh toh bas yun hi. U know work pressure.
Raman -agar aap nahi batana chahti toh mat bataiye but don't lie. I can see through u. He said making ishita look at him.
Raman (pressing his eyes );u can share it with me.
Ishita -my brother in law came to me with a customer.
Raman -customer??
Ishita -haan, he wanted to buy my guest house. Achchi keemat de raha tha, mera devar mujhe pressurise bhi kar raha but main yeh property bechna nahi chahti. This is my only source of income.
Raman -toh kya kiya aapne??
Ishita -i denied.
Raman -then why u r worried??
Ishita -coz I know him, he will try other means to convince me. She said looking at him.
R- other means ?
I- don't know exactly ,may be threatening ,or cheating or pata nahi .
R- can I help you.?
I- don't know ,I don't understand why they are not letting me live at peace . ouch bhi to nahi mere paas, bas ye guesthouse hai and they want to take it too . if I will give this to them how I m suppose to live my life .
R- what are you thinking to do .
I- don't know ,after my husband demise, I was totally broken and alone . I don't have any reason to live ,kuch bhi nahi tha ,na koi family ,na koi wajah jeene ki ,then only this guest house was my support . I started taking care of it abd slowly started trying to live ,kushi naam ki koi cheez to nahi hai zindagi mein lekin ye wajah hai mere jeene ki . if I will sell this also then I don't know how I will be living .
R- you can sell it and take a new property of your own , which will be yours only . no one can pressurize you to sell that .
I- all this is not so simple Mr bhalla ,if I will sell this through my in-laws ,they will take all the money and I will be left with nothing ,more over I don't want to sell it . I told you na ,I don't have a reason to live besides this .
R- why didn't you marry again ?.
Ishita looked at him shockingly and asked " what ".
R- I mean ,you are young and beautiful ,I know its not easy to forget our partner but how long you will live this lone life .
Ishita thought for sometimes then spoke looking at him" kabhi kisi ko mukmmal jahaan nahi milta ,kahin zameen to kahin aasmaan nahi milta .
(non get anything perfect in life ). I thinks its time for your tea ,you go I m sending it in your room.
Saying so she started walking when Raman spoke " ishita ,I m always there for you ,you can take my help anytime , anywhere . you will find me by your side ,trust me."
Ishita stopped listening to him ,turned back ,saw him and spoke " thanks for giving me the much needed courage and I trust you ".
Saying so she went inside ,Raman too ruffled his hair and went inside .
Thats all for now friends ,enjoy reading . Hope you people are not getting bored with this story as it bit slow .
