After some time Raman woke up... He saw himself alone on the bed.. He quickly got up and called her name out.. He didn't get any response.. He checked the washroom.. But he didn't find her..
R : kahan chali gayi hogi..? Neeche dekhta hoon..
He quickly ran down and searched for her in other rooms.. He at last found her sitting in a corner of the kitchen.. She was badly sweating and crying.. He was shocked to see her like this.. He went to her and made her stand.. She was very weak.. He washed her face..
R : ye kya haal bana rakha hai tune.? Kyon ro rahi hoo.? Kya hua hai.? She was still crying.. He was getting scared thinking what had happened to her..
R : kuch toh bolo Ishita..!!!
I : (crying) Raman..
R : haan bolo kya hua..
She didn't say anything.. She just hugged him tight.. Raman just let her be and hugged her back.. He was trying to make her calm.. He brought her to the hall and made her sit..
R : jaan pls bolo kya hua..??
I : Raman aap kyon aaye yahan..??
R : matlab kya hai tumhara..??
I : (turning her face away) Aap.. aap. Chale jao yahan se..
R : (shocked) kya.. Kya kaha tumne..?
She was not facing him.. She was trying to hold her tears..
I : sahi suna aapne..
He was blank.. He didn't know how to react.. He was hell angry at her for saying so..
R : (with anger) chala jaon main.. ????
I : (trying to control herself) haan..
He left her there and got up... He went away from her.. She shut her eyes tight.. She couldn't see him leaving her.. She was crying inside.. She was breaking but didn't want to show.. Her head started spinning and she fainted.. He was almost near the main door.. He turned and saw hoping she would stop him... He was more shocked to find her unconscious on the floor.. He quickly ran to her.. Placed her head in his lap.. He was feeling very bad for her.. He was crying seeing her like this...
R : (trying to wake her up)Ishita.. Ishita.. Uto..!!! Isne kal se kuch nahi khaya.. Paagal hai.. He held her hand..
I : (unconsciously) Raman.. mat jao.. pls Raman..
R : main kahi nahi jaa raha hoon jaan..
Raman smiled at her and made her sleep on the couch.. He sprinkled water on her face.. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in his arms.. She wanted to be there forever.. She was trying to get out of his hold.. But he was holding her tight.. She freed herself and got up from there.. He too got up..
I : Raman chodo mujhe aur jao yahan se..
R : kyon jaon main.?
I : (about to cry) pls Raman..
R : jaan.. tum aise kyon bolo rahi hoo..??
I : Raman maine aapki aur Romi ki baatein sunn li...
Raman now understood why she was reacting like this..
R : Ishita tum kya chahthi ho..? Ki main tumhe yahan chodkar chala jaon..??
She couldn't speak.. She was at the edge of crying..
I : (crying) Raman aap meri wajah se sab kuch seh rahe hoo.. Ye problem bhi main hi tho hoon..
R : ab aisa kya hogaya mujhe..
I : Raman pehle hi bohot kuch seh chuke ho mere kaaran.. Aap.. aap bohot achhe ho Raman.. aap kabhi kuch nahi kehte hoo.. Aap be wajah mujhe pyaar karne ki saza bhughat rahe ho.. Achha hota ki main uss din mar jaati (Crying and folding her hands) pls Raman aap chale jao..
R : (loudly) chup ho jao Ishita.. (Holding her tightly) main chup hoon iska matlab ye nahi ki main tumhara bakwas sunoonga..!!
I : (crying) plz Raman samajne ki khoshish karo.. jab thak aap mere saath rahoge.. aapke liye sirf problems rahenge..
R : (angrily) just shut up Ishita...!!!
I : Raman aap chale jao yahan se..
R : stop it..
I : Raman ple...
Raman couldn't take it anymore and gave her a tight slap... She fell on the couch.. She was holding her cheek in pain.. she was crying bitterly.. Raman cursed himself for doing this..
He sat beside her.. He moved the strands away from her face.. He removed her hand from her cheek.. He cupped her face.. She looked at him with tearful eyes..
R : fir se aisi bakwas ki na.. tho.. tho ek aur khayegi.. Yaad rakhna..
He pulled her to him and hugged her tight.. She cried in his arms..
R : bas.. sab kuch teek ho jayega.. main hoon tumhare saath.. pls rona mat..
She parted from him.. He caressed her cheek and kissed there..
R : sry.. maine tum par haath utaya.. mujhe vaisa nahi karna chahiye tha..
She didn't say anything but hugged him again.. Raman was patting her head and something clicked in his mind.. He straightly took her to the dinning table and made her sit..
R : from yesterday you didn't have anything na..??
She didn't face him knowing he would scold her.. He didn't say anything.. He went to the kitchen and brought the food which was kept there.. He fed her himself and he too got the chance to be fed by her.. Both were smiling after so many days..
I : Raman kya aap chachaji se mile..
R : (knowing well she'd ask this) haan..
I : unhone kya bola..?
R : wahi.. jo tum bhi jaanti hoo..
Ishita became dull listening to this.. Raman understood wht she was thinking..
R : hlo madam..! aisa kuch nahi hoga jaise tum soch rahi ho.. tumhara pati tumhe chodke kahi nahi jayega.. He held her hand..
Ishita smiled at him
I : Raman main jaanti hoon aapko.. ki aap mujhe kabhi akhela nahi chodenge..!!
R : (narrowing eyes at her) achha ..?
I : (naughtily) haan..!
R : aur kya kya jaanti hoo..? (Coming closer to her)
I : (blushing) Ramannn..!!
R : bolo..
His phone was ringing in his room breaking their moment..
I : jao important call hoga..
Raman went from there sadly.. Ishita started cleaning the kitchen as they were away for many days.. Here Raman went to the room and picked the call.. It was Romi's..
Romi : Bhai aapko yaad hai na.. Ki kal kya hai..!
R : (smiling) kal..?? kya hai kal..?? mujhe yaad nahi..
Ro : aapko yaad hai na.. bhaav mat khao aap.. mujhe laga aap inn sab batoon mein aa kar bhool jaoge..
R : (laughing) haan.. haan yaad hai mujhe..
Ro : Bhai ek din ke liye ye sab bhool jao aur bhabhi ke saath enjoy karo.. acha teek hai main rakhtha hoon.. Issliye call kiya tha aapko yaad dilane.. bhai aapki aur bhabhi ka dyaan rakhna..
R : (smiling) haan bye.. He cut the call..
R : kal mera aur Ishita ka theesri anniversary hai.. mujhe use ek achha surprise dhena hoga.. He made some arrangements soon and was thinking about their journey till now.. He went back in his memory lane..
