Raman was sitting on the floor holding ishita in his arms while his mind was still on her behaviour post that rape attempt.
Raman -ishita kitni sensitive hai inn sab chizon ke liye, though it's not easy for any girl but her behaviour was very different.yeh bahut hi jyada darr gayi hai, mujhe kuch karna hoga ishita ke mann se yeh darr nikalne ke liye aur isse physically strong banane ke liye. Haan mujhe kuch karna hoga, par kya karun. He was thinking when something clicked his mind.
He got up picking her in his arms, he took her to their bed and made her sleep comfortably. He covered her properly and was going but stopped seeing her innocent face. He sat next to her and caressed her face.
Raman -tumse itna pyaar karta hoon jitna tum soch bhi nahi sakti but kya karun, yeh meri badnaseebi hai ki mujhe tumhe chodna pad raha hai, but I will always love u ishita and will always protect u. Coz I know u have no-one other then me. Tum bhale naa kaho but I know tum kitni takleef mein ho. Sabne tumhara saath chod diya hai, tumhara haath chod diya hai but main kabhi nahi chodunga. Main kabhi nahi badlunga ishita, I will always love u. He said caressing her face and planted a feathery kiss on her forehead.
Then he went out and called someone. He talked for a while and finally hung the call happily.
Raman -yay now finally I can make her independent physically too. Yeh zaruri hai, aakhir mere bina usse apni care karni aani chahiye. He thought and went to kitchen. He was thinking to make something but was feeling lazy too, so finally thought to order something. He ordered food for them and settle down to do his work. He was working on his lappy when his eyes fell on their wedding album. He opened it and start seeing pictures. A constant smile was on his face seeing their pics, he caressed her pic and said -tum kitni khush thi, kaash main tumhe hamesha khush rakh pata, kaash hum hamesha saath reh paate. Ab bhi der nahi hui hai ishita, please maan jao, we can work on ur problem and find a way. He was saying when he heard, nahi raman mera aapse dur hona hi sahi hai.
Raman raised his head and saw her standing.
Raman -aise kyun keh rahi ho??
Ishita -kyunki main sirf aapko dukh de sakti hoon. Maine dekha tha how they were hitting u just because of me. Main aapko koi sukh nahi de sakti Raman, bas aapki takleef deti hoon. Toh achcha hoga if we get separated, kam se kam aapne toh khush rahenge. She said firmly.
Raman wanted to say something but he didn't argued knowing her condition. He just nodded to her and said -let it be, come to me. He said opening his arms and she went close to him.
She sat beside him and kept her head on his chest.
Raman -how r u feeling now??
Ishita -much better, aapka saath mujhe ladhne ki aur jeetne ki himmat deta hai, u r really my motivation. Thank u for being with me always.
Raman look at her and thought to talk about her problem which they can fight against together but then thought otherwise and said -glad u r fine, bhookh lagi hai??
Ishita -bahut, aapko bhi lagi hogi naa, let me make something. She said getting up when he said -baitho, Maine order kiya hai.
Ishita nodded and sat again, both were sitting when ishita remembered something and said -raman, woh log aapko maar rahe the, aapko Kahin chot toh nahi lagi naa,i mean serious injury.
Raman -nahi, I am good and glad u r good too. See ishita, duniya achchi nahi hai, aise log tumhe har jagah milenge aur jaise tum mujhe apna zindagi se nikaal rahi ho, shayad main har baar tumhe bacha bhi naa paun. Toh I want u to get independent regarding this too.
Ishita -matlab??
Raman -matlab Maine self defence class mein tumhara naam likhwa diya hai, tumhe kal se jaana hai. I want to trained to beat anyone into pulp. He was saying while she was just looking at him.
Raman -aise kya dekh rahi ho??
Ishita -kuch nahi, bas soch rahi hoon, ki aap kitne achche hai. I am doing so wrong with u still u do everything for me. Itne achche Aap kyun hai raman, itna achcha nahi hona chahiye aapko. She said to which he just smiled and said -i know I am bad at behaving badly. But kyq karun aisa hi hoon main. He said when the door bell rang, he got up and opened the door. It was their order, he took the food and give it to ishita. She served themselves and both had their food. Soon they were on their bed. Raman was fast asleep while ishita was just looking at him.
Ishita -pata nahi kaise jee paungi aapke bina raman. Aap hi toh ho joh mere liye sabse ladh jaate ho, meri har wish ki pura karte ho, mera itna khayal rakhte ho. I don't know how I will survive without, shayad naa jee paun, mar hi jaun. But at least I will be happy that aap khush rahenge, kahin kisi aur ke saath. Haan aapko kisi aur ka khayal rakhte dekh takleef toh hogi but aapke chehre ki muskaan dekh kar khushi bhi hogi. Coz I love u raman, and just want u to be happy and I can't give u any happiness. She said and kissed his temple softly. Then she settled next to him and slept.
From next day, Raman start taking her to the self defence classes and very soon she start getting for protecting herself. Ishita got filled with amazing confidence while Raman was happy seeing her changing for good.
One day, ishita was in super market buying groceries when a lady came to her and said -excuse me ma'am, can u help me??
Ishita -ji boliye??
Lady -mujhe washroom jaana hai, aap please mere baby ko dekhengi?? I will be back asap.
Ishita -sure.
Lady -thank u so much, she said and went showing ishita the baby's pram. Ishita start picking groceries holding the pram too when the baby start crying. Ishita picked the baby in her arms and start rocking her and in no time she slept again.
Ishita was looking at the baby, it was a very tiny baby, may be of few days only. She was in total awe looking at the little creature. She look her little palm in her hand and kissed her. She smiled a little making ishita smile too. She softly kisses the baby's forehead when the lady came.
Lady -thank u so much.
Ishita -my pleasure, aapki bachchi bahut pyaari hai.
Lady -thank u, bahut mannat se mili hai that's why I never leave her alone. U know we were trying for kid since five years but I wasn't able to conceive. Kitne prayers ki, kitni puja ki, tab jaa kar mili hai hume yeh. She said taking her baby in her arms.
Ishita was just admiring them when she asked -aapke bachche hai??
Ishita nodded in no.
Lady -then u must plan for a baby, it's a great feeling and everyone should experience this. Like this they start talking, she was telling ishita how much they struggle to have the baby, and how happy they r with the baby, while ishita's eyes was only on the little baby. She too was feeling an urge to feel all those special moments.
Lost in her thoughts, she reached home. She was doing her work but her mind was still on the baby only.
Soon it was evening, Ishita was sitting on the couch lost in her thoughts when Raman came in. He saw her lost in thoughts and said -kya hua ishita, kya soch rahi ho??
Ishita saw him and said -raman,mujhe aapse kuch jaruri baat karni hai. Aapke paas time hai??
Seeing her excited he nodded and sat next to her.
Raman -bolo kya baat hai??
Ishita -i want something from u, Aap denge mujhe??
Raman -bolo kya chahiye??
Ishita -mujhe Ek bachcha chahiye, Raman. She said making Raman shocked.
Raman -kya, kya chahiye tumhe??
Ishita -mujhe Ek bachcha chahiye raman, hamara bachcha.
Raman -r u even listening to urself, one side u r divorcing me because u don't like my touch and other side u want a baby from me, kya tumhe nahi pata how baby happens.
Ishita -i know, and I am ready. Waise bhi we have done it before also, I will bear it for our baby.kal ko hum alag ho jayenge, aap toh shaadi kar lenge, aur aapko family ho jayegi. But how I will live. Mere paas toh koi bhi nahi hoga naa. Toh jis tarah aapne mujhe help kiya hai independent banane ke liye, help me in this also. Main aapko bilkul trouble nahi karungi, will go away taking my baby. She was saying when he said in anger -our baby, that will be our baby ishita. Aur tumhari himmat kaise hui mujhe yeh sab kehne ki. Tumne samajh kya rakha hai mujhe. Just because I am doing everything as per ur will, tum toh chadhi chali jaa rahi ho. Mujhe bardasht kar logi, itna bada ehsaan, nahi chahiye tumhara ehsaan. Aur rahi baat dusri shaadi karne ki toh sun lo that I will never get married again. Kyunki tumne mujhe nahi kiya hai but maine sirf tumse pyaar kiya hai aur hamesha karta rahunga. Yeh sab joh hai, tumhare liye divorce hoga but for me it's nothing. Koi court tumhe mujhse alag nahi kar sakta. He said in sheer anger while ishita was glued to her place listening to him.
That's all for now, enjoy and do comment and hit like. Will wait for it.
