Hamari Adhoori Kahaani- YHM Fan Fiction Part 7

Madhavi comes to see her. She looks at Ishita once and understands that she is very disturbed thinking about something. She guesses that Ishita is still upset about being thrown out from Bhalla house the previous day. Madhavi thinks she must distract Ishu.

Madhavi: Good morning Ishu. Jaldi uth gai tum aaj?

Ishita isn't able to bring herself to say anything. She feels if she opens her mouth to speak she won't be able to control her emotions so she just nods her head.

Madhavi: Maine kitchen mein dekha.. Kanna tumne sabke liye dosas bana diya? Chalo good. Aaj kitne dino baad tumhare hath ke dosas khayenge hum. Chalo sath breakfast karte hain.

Ishita: Amma aap kha lo. Mera man nahin hai abhi. Main baad mein kha lungi.

Madhavi: Aiyo Ishu. Kal bhi tum aise hi zid kar rahi thi. Tum apne health ko aise neglect nahi kar sakti. Doctor ne bhi kaha tha na woh poison ka tumhare internal organs pe effect hua hai aur tumhara BP ka problem toh tha hi. Ishu time pe healthy food khana important hai and medicines lena bhi. Mujhe tumhari bahut chinta hone lagi hai. Tum aise apne ko neglect karti rahogi toh mai tumhe us Bhalla family ke aas pas jane bhi nahi dungi, Raman ka jo ho woh ho. Waise bhi woh log toh tumhari koi care karte nahin toh main unke bete ki care kyun karu? Aur unke bete ke liye main apni beti ko kyun pisne doon?

Ishita: Amma bekar ka tension mat lo. Meri health thik hai but aapki tabiyat zaroor kharab ho jayegi. But Amma mujhe abhi bhook nahi hai. Aap sab breakfast kar lo. Mai toh abhi nahai bhi nahi hoon.

Before Madhavi can say anything Ishita turns away to her side. Madhavi understands that she wants to be left alone so she sighs and leaves.

Ishita looks at her mother walk away. She wants to say something more to comfort her but right now she isn't able to find it in her to do anything to help her mother. Ishita thinks when will the tables turn? When will she stop feeling this helpless? On the one hand she hasn't succeeded in exposing Simmi and Param , neither has she found out how Raman is still being given medication and on the other hand her whole family is worried for her and there is nothing she can do to make their worries go away. Ishita thinks she should get up and take a shower but she isn't able to find the strength or will power to do so, so she stays in bed lost in her thoughts once again.

Iyer kitchen:

Madhavi and Kiran are working in the kitchen. They are laying the table for breakfast. Just then Adi, Ruhi and Pihu walk in.

Pihu: Good morning.

Madhavi: Good morning.

Ruhi: Patti, Ishimaa kahan hai?

Madhavi: Woh apne kamre mein hai...

Adi: Kya hua Patti aap itne pareshan kyun ho?

Madhavi: Main meri Ishu ke liye worried hun.

Pihu: Kya hua Ishimaa ko?!?

Kiran: Dekho na Pihu. Tumhari Ishimaa ne early morning uth ke sabke liye dosas banaya but khud khane se mana kar rahi hai. Pata nahi kis baat ko lekar itni pareshan hai woh.

Adi and Ruhi exchange a worried look. Since they have just spoken to Raman they know why she is upset.

Pihu: But Ishimaa pareshan kyu hai?

Madhavi: Pata nahi. Woh kuch bolti hi nahin. But jo bhi tension ho uske chakkar mein woh khana aur apne medicines time pe nahi leti. Aise toh woh bimar pad jayegi. Bachon tum log jao uske pas. Uska mood theek karne ki koshish karo. Kal bhi Adi aur Pihu tum dono ke aane ke baad hi usne thoda dinner khaya tha. Tum teeno usko yaha breakfast khane ke liye le ke aao.

All three of them nod and go towards Ishita's bedroom.

Ishita's Bedroom:

Adi, Ruhi and Pihu enter the room but Ishita is lost in her thoughts and does not notice them come in.

Ishita is blankly staring at the wall in front of her. Pihu, Adi and Ruhi look at her with concern. Her face is looking very pale.

Pihu: Ruhi Didi dekho na Ishimaa kitni sad lag rahi hai. Unka mood theek kaise kare?

Adi: Pihu kaise samjhaoon tujhe ki joh ek time pe hamari Ishimaa ka mood chutakiyon mein theek kar dete the unhone hi aaj unhe itna dukhi kiya hai.

Ruhi: Don't worry. Hum apni Ishimaa ko sad rehne nahin denge.

Pihu starts walking towards Ishita quietly to surprise her.

Adi: Kuch toh karna hoga Ruhi ki papa aake Ishimaa ko manaye. Kuch socho. Apne khurafati dimag ko doraao.

Ruhi: Adi bhaiya papa ko agar hum yaad hote toh hum unse asani se apni baat manwa lete. But is situation mein unhone abhi thodi der pehle hamari itni bhi baat sun li woh kam nahi hai. But wait a second... hum unhein yaad nahin but Pihu toh yaad hai na unhein.

Ruhi excitedly whispers into Adi's ears. A smile appears on Adi's face and he gives Ruhi a thumbs up.

Adi:Mission Pihu... kya plan hai?!? Nice one Ruhi!!

Pihu by now is standing next to Ishita. But Ishita is completely lost in her thoughts and she does not notice Pihu standing next to her bed.

Ishita is startled and snaps out of her thoughts as she is suddenly engulfed in a big warm hug. She looks down and sees Pihu hugging her. She then looks up and sees Adi and Ruhi standing and smiling. She looks down at Pihu again and smiles and then she looks up at Adi and Ruhi and smiles.

Ishita: Pihu, Ruhi, Adi tum log yahan kaise?

Ruhi: Yeh dekho Adi bhaiya khud humein message karke bulaya aur ab khud puch rahi hai ki hum yahan kaise!!

Adi: Waise aap message nahi bhi karti na tabhi hum toh aapse milne aate hi. Aapke bina humara man waise bhi kahan lagta hai.

Ishita looks at them and smiles.

Ruhi and Adi also come and sit on the bed next to her. They both also hug Ishita.

Ishita is happy to see her children. She hugs each one of them for long. She clings on to each one of them for a few extra seconds and then lets go. All three kids are able to sense her sadness even though she is hugging them with a smile on her face.

Pihu: Ishimaa aap kya soch rahi thi ki aapne humein notice hi nahi kiya?

Ishita: Bus tum teeno ko hi yaad kar rahi thi. Mera bhi man kahan lagta hai tum teeno ke bina.

Pihu: Arey but hum toh hamesha aapke sath hi hai na even jab hum aapke pass nahin hai.

Ruhi: Yeh toh tumne sahi kaha Pihu! Meri tarah intelligent hoti ja rahi ho tum.

Adi: Tum aur intelligent. Please!! Uski sari intelligence mujhse aai hai.

Adi and Ruhi start quarrelling. Pihu also joins in. Ishita quietly sits and listens to them squabble. They had hoped their squabble would cheer Ishita up but she still looks sad.

Pihu: Ishimaa ab aap hi batao ki main kiske jaise intelligent hoon... bhaiya ya didi?

Ishita: Tum teeno yeh subah subah kya baatein le ke baith gaye ho. Ek kaam karo neeche jao aur Patti se bolo tumhein kuch khane ko dene ke liye. Aaj dosas bane Hain.

Pihu: Oh ho Maine ghar pe doodh piya tha bus abhi. Dosas aur sab baad mein pehle Ishimaa meri baat toh suno...

Ishita: Haan beta sun rahi hon bolo...

Pihu: Aapko pata hai kal kitni masti ki hum sab ne..

Ishita: That's good...

Pihu: Arey pucho toh pehle ki kal rat hua kya tha...

Ishita: Acha Pihu batao kya hua tha kal raat ko?

Pihu then tells Ishita about their TGIF hangout. The games they played and how all of them enjoyed the food Ishita had sent.

Finally!! Ishita understands why Raman was upset about the food. She looks at Adi with an irritated expression.

Ishita: Adi maine toh pack karke khana Aliya aur Ruhi ke liye bheja tha phir tumne Raman ko kyun khilaya. Jab unhein main ya mujhse judi hui har cheez se chid ho rahi hai toh tum log woh sab kyun bar bar unke samne le ja rahe ho.

Ruhi: You really mean that Ishimaa?

Ishita: Yes!

Adi: Ishimaa aap apne aap ko budhu bana sakte ho apni in batoon se but humein nahin. After all hum aapke intelligent bacche hai. Apne dil se pucho jab aap kal pack karke mujhe khana de rahi thi tab aapka dil yeh nahin chah raha tha ki kisi bhi tarah thoda khana papa ke pas bhi pahunch jaye?

Ishita knows what Adi is saying is true. That's why she had made extra dosas this morning too hoping Raman would eat some. But then she thought what is the use of doing all this because anything she does just angers Raman.

Ruhi: Pihu tumne sabse important baat toh batayi hi nahi.

Pihu: Kaunsi baat?

Ruhi: Yahin ki kal papa kisko miss kar rahe the?!?

Hearing this Ishita sits up.

Ishita: Raman kise miss kar rahe the?

Adi and Ruhi decide to tease Ishita a bit in hopes that it might cheer her up.

Ruhi: Woh na apne Young and bachelor days ke bare mein bol rahe the. Unko lag raha tha ki woh bhi apne bachelor days mein apne friends ke sath aisa tafri mara karte the weekends pe.

Adi: Haan unko college ke doston ki kuch kuch baatein yaad aa rahi thi.

Hearing this Ishita again slumps back in bed slightly dejected.

Pihu, Adi and Ruhi look at her and start laughing.

Adi: Ishimaa aapne kaisa soch liya ki woh college ke din ko yaad karenge?

Ruhi: Woh toh unhein yaad kar rahe the jinhe unka dil har wakt pukarta hai but unka dimaag hai ki philhaal dil ki sun hi nahin raha.

Pihu: Haan Ishimaa jab hum khana kha rahe the toh papa ne bola ki pehle hi Madrasan ne south Indian khana khila khila ke paka rakha hai aur ab hum bhi wahin khila rahein hai.

Ruhi: woh apni Madrasan ko yaad kar rahe the Ishimaa!!

Adi: Haan Ishimaa!! Papa sab bhule nahin hai bus unki memories thodi suppressed hai. Jab woh Simmi bua ke padhai bakwaas ko lekar stressed nahin hote hai na toh unhe kuch kuch situations mein na cheezin yaad aane lagti hai n hamesha unko aapse hi related baatein yaad aati hai.

Pihu: Dekho ab toh humne apko itni acchi news di. Chalo ab smile karo and hamare sath neeche chalke breakfast karo n phir apne medicines khao aap. Chalo!!

Ishita: Aisi chothi chothi baatein yaad aane se kuch nahi hoga. Jab karne ki bari aati hai na toh us Ravan Kumar ko sirf Simmi ke padhaye paath yaad aate hain aur bus phir kya mujhpe garaj padte hain.

Adi: Aisa nahin hai Ishimaa...

Ishita: Aisa hi hai Adi. Tum log please ab yeh sab mat kiya karo. Isse takleef phir Raman ko hi hoti hai and uska phayda Simmi aur Param uthate hai. Jo jaisa hai use waisa chod do. Baat ko mat badhao.

Ruhi: Nahin Ishimaa...

Ishita: Bus ab yeh sab chodo. Tum teeno neeche jao. Breakfast karna hai toh Patti se bolo woh khila dengi. Warna ghar chale jao kyunki agar wahan tumhare papa ko pata chala ki tum teeno yahan baithe hue ho toh phir uska galat matlab nikalenge, phir Simmi unko bhadkayegi aur phir woh mujhpe garaj ke chale jayenge.

shita sits up on her bed again and then gets off the bed. As soon as she stands up her head starts spinning. She fumbles a bit and loses her balance. She holds her head with her hand trying to steady herself but everything has started spinning around her. Seeing this Adi rushes to her side and holds her tightly.

Ruhi and Adi exchange worried looks.

Pihu: Ishimaaa!! Kya hua?

Ruhi: Aap theek toh hain na?

Adi: Aapki tabiyat theek nahi lag rahi hai. Aap let jao please main Doctor ko bulata hoon.

Ishita has been holding on to Adi the entire time. Her dizziness subsided within seconds and she lets go of him and stands straight.

Ishita: Aiyyo kuch nahin hua hai mujhe. Woh main khadi hui na toh side table pe mera halke se foot lag gaya tha toh ek second ke liye balance bigad gaya. Acha ab maine kaha na tum teeno jao aur mujhe bhi nahane jane do.

Before any of them can say anything Ishita hurriedly goes to her wardrobe, takes out a towel, a salwar suit and without looking back at them walks straight to the bathroom.

Pihu, Adi and Ruhi sit on the bed.

Pihu: Ishimaa jhooth bol rahi thi na? Unki tabiyat theek nahi hai na?

Ruhi: Haan Pihu. Tabiyat ke sath sath mood bhi bilkul theek nahi hai.

Pihu: Unka mood kyun kharab hai?

Adi: Papa ki wajah se.

Pihu: Papa ne kya kiya?

Ruhi: Wahin jo woh aaj kal karte hain. Bina wajah ke Ishimaa pe gussa aur unse jhagda.

Pihu: Yeh sab meri wajah se ho raha hai...

Adi and Ruhi look at Pihu with a confused look. But before they get a chance to say anything Pihu goes on.

Pihu: Papa ne kya kiya? Kal jab woh rat ko yahan aaye the tab toh unhone kuch nahi kaha tha. Bina fighting kiye chale gaye.

Adi: Kal rat ko kuch nahi hua tha Pihu but aaj subah subah hua hai...

Adi and Ruhi tell Pihu about the mornings dosa incident.

Pihu: Toh hum yahan kya kar rahe hain? Chalo aap dono papa ko samjhao n unko bolo aa ke Ishimaa ko manaye n unko khana bhi khilaye warna toh woh kuch khayengi hi nahin aur medicines bhi nahi lengi aur phir woh aur bimar pad jayengi. Aapne dekha na Ishimaa ki tabiyat abhi hi theek nahi hai phir woh aur bimaar ho jayengi.

Pihu comes and grabs one hand each of Adi and Ruhi and starts to pull them to stand up.

Ruhi whispers into Adi's ears:

Ruhi: Time for Mission Pihu.

Adi: Pihu hum toh yahan aane ke pehle papa ko samjha ke aaye the ki unhone jo kiya woh galat hai aur unhein Ishimaa ko manana chahiye. But dekho abhi tak woh aaye hi nahin. Hamari batoon ka asar hi nahi ho raha hai unpe.

Pihu: Aise kaise woh apne bachon ki baat nahi manenge?

Ruhi: Wahin toh problem hai na Pihu!! Papa ko toh yaad hi nahin ki hum dono unke bacche hai toh woh humein seriously lenge kyun? Tum jaanti ho Pihu jab main chothi thi na tabhi Papa aise hi karte the... Ishimaa se bekar me fights karte the aur bina Ishimaa ki galti ke unpe chilla chilla ke gussa karte the. Toh pata hai ek hi tareeka hota tha unko apni galti realise karwane ka. Main unke paas jati thi aur unhe bahut serious hoke bolti thi ki unhone kya kya wrong kiya aur phir zid karti thi ki jab tak woh Ishimaa ko sorry bolke unhe manate nahin aur unhein smile nahin karate tab tak main bhi unse gussa ho jati.

Pihu: Phir Papa aapki baat maante the?

Ruhi: Bilkul!! Woh immediately Ishimaa ko jake manate the kyunki unko pata tha ki mujhe manane ka woh ek hi rasta hai.

Pihu: Toh aap aaj bhi unse waise hi gussa ho jao na..

Adi: Woh toh hum tab kar sakte the na jab unhein yaad hota ki hum unke bacche hain. As of now woh humein toh kabhi seriously lenge hi nahin.

Pihu: Arey aap dono yaad nahi hain toh kya hua... main toh yaad hoon na... ek beti gussa nahi ho sakti toh kya main bhi aapki choti behan hoon. Ab aap dekho Pihu ka kamal. Aisa drama aur acting karungi ki Saajan ka Sasural wale bhi kal mujhse acting tips lene ayenge!

Pihu hurriedly leaves and Adi and Ruhi jump with joy and hug each other.

Adi : Intelligent toh tum ho hi Pihu bus kabhi kabhi tumhein thodi chabhi lagani padti hai.

Ruhi: Sorry Papa! Aaj aapki acchi khasi parade hone wali hai!!

Adi: Hamari baat subah hi sun li hoti aur seedhe se yahan aa ke Ishimaa ko mana lete toh humein itna natak nahin karna padta.

Ruhi: Papa mujhe sabki Amma bulate the na jab main chothi thi but Pihu toh mujhse bhi badi Amma hai woh bhi Sajan ka Sasural ke twist ke sath!!

Ruhi and Adi laugh happily.

Adi: Chal Ruhi. Neeche jake dosa khate hai n phir ghar chalte hai. Papa ki parade lagne wali hai... yeh action main kisi halat mein miss nahin karna chahta.

Adi turns to look at the bathroom. Ishita still hasn't come out and they can hear the shower running. Adi walks closer to the door and speaks in a soft voice so that Ishita can't hear him from inside.

Adi: Aap humein lakh rokne ki koshish kar lo Ishimaa but jab tak aap aur papa dobaara ek nahin ho jate hum haar nahin manenge chahe uske liye humein kuch bhi karna pare. Aap bus humpe bharosa rakho jaise mujhe aap pe pura bharosa hai ki ek baar aapko aapke Ravan Kumar wapas mil jayenge aap mere aur Ruhi ke papa bhi humein lauta doge aur hamari family ek baar phir puri karoge.

Ruhi smiles listening to Adi and nudges him. They both leave with the hope that soon Raman will come and set everything right!
