Hello friends back with new update .Part 23
Ishita completed her sentence and got up to go saying " I know its a big blow for you and you need time to think ,aap soch lo then tell me your decision ,I will happily accept it "
Saying so she stepped out of the room while Raman was still looking at her retreating figure ,he was very much confused and shocked to react . He had got to know such a big thing about his wife's state ,he don't know how to react on same .He knows that he had cleared his parents that he is marrying her only for ruhi and he don't have any right to get angry or mad after knowing her disability but still she was getting married to him ,she will be his wife so he had right to know about this . He don't know how to react on this situation , as on one side he don't have any right to get angry on her because of his own condition which he had kept for marrying ishita and on other side ,she didn't even cheated him as his parents knew about her condition .
At first he thought to call his mother and ask ,if ishita was saying truth or was lying then thought " no I had seen truth in her eyes ,ishita can't lie this much to me ".
Thinking so he didn't called his parents but was very confused what to do ,then he started thinking about her each and every words ,while his mind started reacting on them . At first he recalled " Raman you are not the first man in my life " , he don't know why but he didn't liked this and got green in jealously .
Then he recalled that her many alliance got broke due to her disability ,he felt bad thinking about her state and thought, he was till now crying on shagun's betrayal ,what ishita must be going through at that time ,how broken she would be . Then he recalled about the mocking, teasing and insult she had gone through ,he felt bad feeling her pain and compared his pain with her . He got yo know that his pain is very less as compared to the pain she has gone through .
He then recalled their first meeting when he just got a glimpse of her , he still remember ,the nervousness and innocence which he had noticed on her face that time ,then their talk in evening. Though she herself was going through so much pain but was bothered about ruhi ,that was the moment which has confirmed that she is best for ruhi as she was very much concerned about ruhi ,that much that even after knowing that he is rude ,she gave him a long lecture on his behavior towards ruhi which actually has changed his views of looking things. It was the effect of her lecture that he had became soft towards ruhi and finally got to know that how much his baby was craving for his love and care ,and it was her lecture only because if which both papa beti had come closer and now share a lovely bond. He smiled a bit recalling her threat for canceling the marriage ,if he don't arrive to Delhi till evening ,he smiled recalling every small moment they had shared between their marriage function .
Then comes her expectations from this marriage and their shattering ,he got angry on himself for his behavior as he was the one who showed his soft behavior and gave her hopes then breaking it in a moment . His argument with his mother ,her advice to start a fresh ,the starting of their relationship again from friendship ,his coming to Mumbai ,their daily talk ,changes in his behavior and finally ishru arrival to Mumba.He could still feel the happiness and excitement he felt ,the moment he saw them in his appt ,the peace which he was getting in spending time with ishru ,the happiness of being a sweet small family ,ishita Lil scoldings like a caring wife . Everything he recalling and realized that she was not at fault anywhere ,rather she was the one who was filling his life with happiness slowly ,so what she can't be a mother ,its not even needed as they already have ruhi . After his marriage when he had shared his changing feelings towards ishita to one of his close friend ,he had doubt on ishita that what if she is behaving like a nice mother now ,but will change after the birth of her own baby . Now if she will not be a mother ,he can be carefree from this fear also .
Like this he keep thinking everything , every positive thoughts and negative too and coincidentally ,most of the thoughts were positive . On the other hand ishita sat beside ruhi and started sobbing silently careful enough not to disturb ruhi's sound sleep .Her eyes were continuously on the door ,waiting eagerly for him while her heart was beating fast thinking about his decision. Though she bravely has told that she will accept his decision but the truth was she was so scared thinking about his decision ,her heart was sinking with the thinking that how she is going to live if Raman deny to accept her with her disability . She even tried to plan her life without ruman but was not able to even imagine . Ishita looked at ruhis sleeping figure ,she caressed her hair softly then kissed ruhi's forehead , a tear escaped from her eyes and fell on ruhis cheek before ishita wipes it . She immediately wiped the tear but ruhi woke feeling movement beside her .She opened her eyes and asked " arey mamma ,aap soye nahi ab tak ."
I(composing herself )- no rooh ,actually you know ,I slept whole day na thats why I m not sleepy .
Ru- haan yaad aaya ,aapki tabiyat kaisi hai mamma .
I- I m good beta ,you sleep ,I too will sleep soon.
Ru- arey papa bhi nahi hai .
I- papa .. ,may be he has gone to washroom .
Ru - ohh .
I- achcha betu chalo I so jaao .
Ru - no mamma ,I m not feeling sleepy now chalo baat kartein hain .
I- baatein ,but I m feeling sleepy now ,chalo sotein hain .
Ru- ok aaj aapki tabiyat kharaab hai na ,to today I will tell a bed time story to you .
I- humm that's a nice idea ..
Ishru were still talking when Raman came to talk to ishita and saw ishru talking .
Raman -arey ruhi, aap soye nahi ab tak .
I- she has a habit to wake in night .
R- ok rooh ,aap thodi der TV dekho, mujhe mumma se baat karni hai. Ishita come here for a while.
He said and turn to go out ,ishita too got up to go when Ruhi held her hand and said -nahi papa, mujhe TV nahi dekhna. Mumma ke saath time spend karna hai. Maine subah se mumma se baat nahi ki.
Ishita -rooh betu, Main abhi aati hoon, phir hum dher saari baat karenge.
She said being impatient to hear his decision.
Ruhi (making a grumpy face) -ok jaao , aap log ko ab mujhse baat nahi karni naa, koi ab ruhi ko pyaar nahi karta. Aap dono ko bas ek dusre se baat karni hai, jao mujhe bhi ab aap logon se baat nahi karni, Ruhi gussa.
She said and turned her face. Ishra look at each other feeling helpless and went to manofy Ruhi. They sat on ruhi's either side and spoke " nothing like that princess ,we just thought that its night and rooh must be feeling sleepy that's why ."
Ru- need to mujhe aa rahi hai but aap log bhi so mere saath .
I- rooh ,aap leto beta ,I m telling you story .
Ruhi lays in mid and signalled ishra to lay on her either side .Ishita looked at Raman with questioning eyes as she was too eager to know his decision . Raman pressed his eyes and signal ishita to lay beside ruhi , she nodded and both lays beside ruhi ,she held ishra hand and kept it on her stomach, joining them.Ishita was feeling awkward , holding his hand ,she tried to withdraw her hand but felt that both ruhi and Raman was holding it tight . She saw him thinking he will tell something but before that ruhi turned ishita's face towards her and spoke "mamma story bolo na ,aaj mujhe mummy papa ki story sun ni hai ".
I- no beta , not that ,I will tell you another one .
Ru- na mumma please ,I want to listen that only .
I- ruhi beta please..
R- bol do na ,tell her the same story which she is saying .
Ishita nodded slowly and started telling ruhi ,ishra story only which she usually tell ruhi and it was her favorite story while Raman too was listening curiously ,that what's this mamma papa story is . Ishita told the story skipping many thing ,she started feeling sleepy but was still telling when she listened snoring sound . She saw ruman and saw them sleeping peacefully holding her hand ,she caressed their faces lovingly while her eyes become teary , thinking about his decision . She thought to wake Raman but saw he was in deep sleep and decided to wait till morning .Thinking so she too closed her eyes and soon the trio was sleeping peacefully cuddling into each other .
That's all for now friends ,I know you all were waiting eagerly for Raman's decision ,but at the same time all wanted that it shouldn't be out of pity ,so I wrote Raman POV . hope you all like that .Enjoy reading and do comment.
