Part 20
Ishita felt bad listening to the society ladies ,she apologized to them for Raman's misbehavior and thought to talk to him about it . Ishita held ruhi's hand and was going when one of the ladies spoke " you seems to be very nice and soft woman ,how come you manages with that rude man ".
I- I told you na he is not rude ,its just you people don't know about him .
L2- if he is so nice then why didn't you come earlier ,he was living alone .
L3- I m sure ,you must not wanted to live with him that's why you didn't come .hai na .
L1- aur kya ,who will live with that drunkard .
I- (bit loudly)- please I m apologizing again and requesting you all again, don't talk anything like this for my husband . you people don't even know about his life ,that's why you are saying so .
L2- aisa kya ho gaya hai Jo itni sunder biwi hotel huye bhi he is living alone and drinking .
I- because I m his second wife .
All ladies in unison " what ".
I- yeah .
Saying so ishita narrated about Raman's past to them . All felt bad for Raman and showed their sympathy to ishita ,for which she denied and said
" don't show sympathy to me ,because I don't feel bad for it rather I m happy that I got a person like him . though we got married just a month back and we hadn't spend much time together but I like him. I know you people are not happy with him but will you people help me to change him ".
All like ishita and agreed to help her in every way possible . They talked some more ,ruhi too befriended with the kids of society . After that ishru happily went back to their flat ,ishita then made dinner for them . Today Raman was bit late as he has an important meeting in office itself for their next contract . Ishita fed ruhi early and made her sleep before Raman's arrival as she has to talk to Raman about the new revelation of his life which she has come to know.
It was about 10.30 when Raman returned back ,all tired and exhausted . He didn't press the call bell rather opened the door with his keys . He entered the house and got surprised to see ishita waiting for him and spoke " arey ishita you hadn't slept yet ".
I- yeah ,I was waiting for you .
R- why so ,you would had your dinner and slept with ruhi .
I(ignoring his words)- you change ,I m warming your food .
Raman didn't spoke anything else and went to change ,till then ishita warmed the food and was serving in two plates . Raman came out from the room and spoke seeing ishita " I agree ,I much hungry but that doesn't mean I will eat two persons food ".
I- he he ,joke tha .not funny ,another plate is for me .
R- why didn't you had food yaar ,I was stuck in office that doesn't mean you will also remain hungry for me . its not necessary to wait and remain hungry for me .
I- (getting irritated with his talk)- ho gaya aapka ya aur bachcha hai ,should we eat or had to listen some more lectures .
He didn't spoke further and settled to have his dinner ,ishita served him Palak paneer and chapatti with pulaao and raiyta . He got happy seeing his favorite food that to home made and started eating without wasting time . He closed his eyes feeling contented after hsbijh the first bite and spoke " uumm its yummy ,you learned it from ma na ".
I- humm ,mummyji told me that its your favorite and taught me .
R- that's great ,aur kya kya sikhaya ma ne .
I- everything which you love .
He smiled and continued eating ,both had their dinner with some light chit chat ,then went to room . Raman settled ruhi in mid and lays beside her ,ishita was taking her pillow and blanket to couch but he denied saying ,there is enough space in bed ,she can also adjust and sleep comfortably . Ishita nodded and lays beside ruhi ,Raman opened his laptop and started working , ishita saw this and spoke " you just had returned from work and started again , days are there to work, nights are to rest . close your laptop and sleep ".
Raman smiled a bit and spoke " nothing like that madam its Mumbai , yahaan kabhi raat nahi hoti ,people work here day and night .aur mujhe to bahut paise kamaane hain ".
I- why ,we have enough , you earn a nice amount ,I m also earning ,papaji ki pension hai hi ,romi will also do something ,what we will do with so much money .
R- you know she left me because of this money only .
He spoke then realized ,then saw ishita with apologizing eyes . She too looked at him , he spoke " I m sorry ".
I- I know you are hurt but she was your past and I m your present ,and also will be your future. I will feel good if you will leave your last burden behind and will start living in present . I agree you had gone through a heart break but I will appreciate if you try ,not to bring her in between us .
R- I m so sorry ,I had spend these six years in hating her only , it will take sometimes but I will try not to talk about her further .
There was a pin drop silence in the room for sometimes then ishita asked "Raman aap khush ho na hamaare yahaan aane se ."
R- humm ,why are you asking same thing again and again .
I- because I was thinking something .
R- what ? tell me .
I- I don't know anyone in society and as you spend most of your time in office ,I think you also must not be knowing much people .
R- yeah .
I- I was thinking ,why don't we organize a small get together for society people , so that we can know them .
R- that's a really bad idea ,nobody will come .this is Mumbai madam .
I- Mumbai hai but rahte to insaan hi hai na .I think its a nice idea .
R- no that's bad idea ,no one will come .
I- kyun ?
R- waise hi ,I told you na ,no body will come .
I- but I know the reason .
R- what ?
I- because you had fought with everyone, being rude to everyone and you are a drunkard .
Raman didn't answered her rather down casted his eyes like culprit . She find him cute looking down and listening to her like ruhi does and asked again being little angry " boliye Raman answer me ".
R- who told you all these ?
I- that's not the answer of my question , answer me first ,why do you fight with everyone ,why you drink so much that people started calling you drunkard .
Raman raised his eyes and spoke in same voice " koi khusi se nahi peeta hoon ,you know this alcohol is not so tasty that people drink it to rejoice , rather it seems that all your lungs are burning when you drink the first sip ,but still I drink it . just think how deep my pain was that I started drinking besides hating the taste of this ".
I- you mean to say that every people who had a heart break ,breakup and betrayal should start drinking .
Raman didn't answered him rather ishita herself spoke again " you know only weak people starts drinking because they can't overcome the rejection . so what shagun has left you , she had left a reason behind her for you to live and move but what you did ,you left your 6months old daughter on your parents and ran away from there as coward but what happened did you overcome it . nahi rather you started drinking and fighting with everyone .
Raman didn't answered ,just looked at her ,don't know what to say when she spoke again " bahut ho gayi apni zindagi se manmaani ,now you have to live according to us ,according to me and ruhi ."
Raman saw her and spoke " its so easy to give lectures but very hard when you go through a heartbreak ,but main ye sab tumhe kyun bata raha hoon ,how can you understand it when you hadn't go through one ."
Saying so he closed his laptop and lay on bed switching off the lamp of his side without noticing the change in ishita's reaction while her eyes become teary recalling all the heartbreaks and rejection she has gone through . She don't know how to react ,she immediately got down of the bed and ran to another room and broke into tears recalling the pain she has gone through because of her disability .
That's all for now ,hope you like this ,enjoy reading and do comment.
