Finally it was the day, ishita was getting ready wearing her bridal outfit. She got ready as the bride many times earlier also but she never felt such emptiness within her before. She was feeling like crying bitterly, even the thought of leaving her raman was killing her from inside. She closed her eyes and a tear fell off her eyes.
The girl who was making her ready asked seeing her tears -what happened, ma'am. Is this kohl is irritating u.
Ishita -no, nothing like that. I am OK, carry on ur work. She said and the girl continued making her ready.
Soon she went completing her work and ishita was sitting looking at her image when the door got open.she raised her head and saw raman entering the room. She got up at once and said -raman, Aap iss samay yahan??
She was saying while he was lost in her. She stopped feeling his gaze and said -please don't look at me like this.
Raman smiled and said pulling her to him-meri dulhan ko koi mujhse pehle dekhe, yeh kaise ho sakta hai. Tumhe sabse pehle dekhne ka haq sirf mera hai, so I came to see u. Aur shayad bahut achcha kiya, coz I have never seen u looking so beautiful. Sach ishita, u r a princess in true sense. Paise wali princess nahi balki roop ki princess, my princess. He said and hugged ishita. She too hide into his chest like she always meant to be there only. He softly kisses her temple and she closed her eyes.
Raman -i love u ishita, love u alot. I am very happy today, aaj hum hamesha ke liye ek ho jayenge. I am praying yeh judaai ke pal jaldi beet jaayen.
Ishita -aur main nahi chahti ki yeh pal kabhi bhi beete. I want this moment to be freeze, so that I can be with u always, always in ur arms.
Raman -u will always be on my side,hum hamesha saath rahenge, OK.
Ishita nodded and took his lips in a soulful kiss. She kissed him with all his love while he too kissed her back with equal passion.
They parted in need of air and Raman chuckled -naughty girl, can't wait naa. Ab hume hamesha saath rehna hai, itna pyaar karunga ki thak jaogi aur kahogi, stop it raman.
Ishita just smiled and hugged him again. Raman felt her restless but shrugged thinking, it must be because of the nervousness of getting married. He hugged her tight and said -dont be nervous, jaan. U r getting married to me, ur raman.
Ishita look at him and said -yes, my raman. I love u raman. She said and pecked his temple.
Raman smiled and said -aaj bahut pyaar aa raha hai. Kya baat hai??
Ishita -nothing, she said when Raman got phone from his mother. She was searching him as the wedding rituals r about to start. He went hugging her for the last time saying, our next hug will be as husband and wife.
Ishita smiled meekly and said -perhaps our last hug.
Soon Ishra were in the mandap taking nuptial vows. Her gang was looking at the expensive jewelleries she was wearing and was thinking how much money they can make with it. Slowly the rituals were going on while her gang was looking at ishita with confused eyes thinking why not ishita is fainting in between the marriage rituals while Ishra were happily taking pheras hand in hand.
Arjun -yeh ishita behosh kyun nahi ho rahi??
Naina -don't know, pata nahi kya chal raha hai uske dimaag mein.
Pandit -ab vadhu ko sindoor lagaiye, he said forwarding the sindoor box.
Raman took the coin filled with vermilion and filled her partition. She closed her eyes feeling the moment and a lone tear escape her eyes.
Raman look at her and said wiping her tears -main tumhe kabhi nahi rone dunga.
Ishita look at him with moist eyes and he softly pecked her forehead. She look down feeling guilty for cheating him while he tied mangalsutra around her neck making her as his forever.
Naina -shaadi ho gayi, yeh ishita ne shaadi kyun kar li usse. What is happening, why she is doing this. She was saying when Arjun signalled her not to panic.
Ishra got up and took blessings from everyone. Mr and Mrs bhalla blessed Ishra for a happy life.
Soon the vidaai ceremony started, ishita start hugging all her gang one by one, pretending to be sad.
Arjun -why u did so??
Ishita look at Arjun and he said-why u completed the ritual. Tumne shaadi kar li raman se, now u r his wife. Why u did so. He was asking while she was not saying anything.
Arjun -if u have fallen in love with him and u think u can stay back here with them and they will accept u , then u r wrong. They will never accept u knowing ur truth.
Ishita look at him while he continued saying-and if u think we will go leaving u here, then it is wrong also. If u want to stay, we all will stay with u. Phir chahe anjaam joh bhi ho. Agar yeh game saath mein khela hai, toh iske anjaam tak bhi saath mein jayenge. Agar tumhe rukna hoga then just give me a call. We all will stay, aur agar aana hoga, we will wait for u till four .he was saying when Toshiji said -kya baatein ho rahi hai bhai -behen mein, ishita ko vidaa nahi karna hai.
Arjun -haan karna hai, kya karun bahut pyaari behen hai meri. Chodne ka mann hi nahi kar raha.bahut khayal rakhiyega meri ishita ka. He said leaving ishita's hand. She look at Arjun and went to raman.
Soon Ishra were taken to suit reserved for their big night. It was decided that Ishra will celebrate their first night there only and then they will return back to delhi and introduce ishita and raman's wife in their grand reception.
Bhalla family were sitting around Ishra and they were happily playing post marriage games while ishita's mind was stuck with Arjun's words. She had thought that she will stay back with bhallas letting her gang elope and bear the consequences but she can't let her gang stay back with her and bear the consequences. For her, loving Raman was her fault and she can't let all bear the pain because of it. After thinking for long, she finally decided with a heavy heart to elope with her gang. She don't want to leave Raman but she don't have any other option left.
Soon ishita was taken to their suit,she sat spreading her lehenga in the bed and was waiting for Raman while her heart was beating fastly thinking about Raman. She was not able to think that, how she will betray him and how he will react knowing her truth. Tears start flowing from her eyes thinking about his pain when he entered the room. He locked the room and she hide her tears under the veil.
He walked to her and hugged her. He hide her in his chest and said closing his eyes -finally we r one. Saying so he kissed her temple while she held the sheet tight trying hard not to melt in his embrace.
He felt her being rigid and broke the hug. He removed the veil and said -thank god it's u, mujhe lagaa koi aur hai. U know its a prank, but it's u only. Why u r so restless jaan, koi problem hai kya??
Ishita nodded in no.
Raman -then what happened, aaj toh Itni khushi ka din hai, aaj hum Ek ho gaye hamesha ke liye, aren't u happy.
Ishita smiled meekly and nodded in yes.
Raman -u know ishita, we made love so many times earlier but aaj joh feeling aa rahi hai, waisi kabhi nahi aayi. U know hubby wali feeling and it's great. I am really very happy,lag raha hai khushi se pagal naa ho jaun. U know I am one of those lucky guys, jisse uska pyaar itni easily mil gaya. Now we will have a very happy life together. He said and settled on her lap .she started caressing his hair softly while he continued talking -hamare naa do bachche honge, we will love them alot. Ek. Ladka aur ek ladki, we will name them as Ruhi and aditya. We will love them alot and will spoil them to core. I will spoil them, tum toh mujhe pata hai strict mother hogi but I will be a cool father. He was go on saying while it was getting hard for ishita to keep her emotions under control hearing his future planning. She just want to scream out loud and say, that this will never happen. I am a cheater and will escape taking all ur valuables, I will escape breaking ur heart. But all she could murmur was, love me Raman.
Raman look at her and said -ofcourse, I will love u jaan. Why u r pleading. He was saying when she hug him tight and said -love me like there is no tomorrow. Saying so she hugged him tight surrendering herself.
Raman smiled at her action and start kissing her hungrily making her loose her senses. He start loving her and soon both got lost in each other forgetting the world.
After a long passionate encounter, Raman finally slept hugging her, while she was all awake thinking about them, their love, their togetherness.
Finally when the clock strike 3.50 ,she got up. She hugged Raman tight and kissed him again and again. After long, she finally went out of the room leaving Raman sleeping.
Flashback end
Ishita cried remembering her betrayal to him and said -i am sorry, really sorry. Mujhe maaf kar dijiyega, I have left with no option. She cried hiding her face in her palm.
