Raman filled Ishita's partition and tied mangalsutra around her neck while she was standing closing her eyes tight shut trying hard not to feel anything.
Raman look at ashok and said -dekh, ho gayi teri khwahish puri, happy??
Ashok smiled and said -very happy, congratulations raman.congratulations bhabhi, he said looking at ishita.
Ishita didn't said anything but just smiled meekly.
Ashok -hope tum yeh rishta ab pure mann se nibhao. Warna anjaam toh tum jaanti hi ho. Saying so he hugged raman and went out.
Raman saw ishita standing in the same place for long and said -jao ,Karo apni safai. Gaya woh, tum toh aise react kar rahi ho that I did it for the first time. Pehle bhi shaadi ho chuki hai naa hamari, then just relax. Kuch naya nahi hai. He said and went inside taking his bottle having his whisky without realising that he has actually changed her life forever.that now she is actually his wife.
Ishita turn and look at the mirror and could see her reflection, her filled partition and mangalsutra around her neck.
She couldn't hold herself and ran to the washroom. She switch on the shower and burst into tears. She started rubbing and washing the sindoor off her partition.
Ten minutes passed like this, ishita was still standing under the shower trying to wash off the trails of sindoor but everytime she close her eyes all she could think was Raman filling her partition. Her hand travelled to the mangalsutra hanging in her neck and she tried to pull it off her neck but like some force was stopping her from doing so.
She fell on the ground lifelessly anf cried -what u have did to me, murugan. Meri zindagi uss sharabi se jod di.yes I lied, but only coz I wanted a safe place for myself. Aur aapne iski itni badi saza di. Ab main kya karungi. How can I live with him, aur ab usse chod bhi nahi sakti. Mera rishta joh jod diya usse, aapne. Yeh kaisi mushkil mein daal diya mujhe, Murugan. How I am going to come out of it. She was saying and was crying bitterly.
She sat on the floor for long getting drenched under the shower trying on her fate and slowly start feeling chilly. She got up at last and look for the clothes only to realise she didn't brought anything with her. She smacked her head and look for something to wear. She found a towel there. She wiped herself and wrapped it around herself.
She came out slowly looking here and there, hiding from Raman's eyes. Seeing him nowhere, she sighed in relief and said -shayad so raha hoga, thank god. Now I can wear clothes, she was saying when he came out of nowhere and both banged into each other .ishita was about to fall but he held her waist. She hung in his arms while he grabbed her waist by his both hands.
Ishita closed her eyes in fear while Raman look at her closely for the first time. Her face was glowing and she was looking too beautiful. He took his hand to her face and softly caressed her cheek. Ishita open her eyes feeling his touch and look at him. He was also looking at her, both shared a brief eyelock when ishita realise her position, that she is half nude infront of him. She tried to stand on her feet in a jiffy, resulting to disbalanced both of them. Raman tried to hold her but both fell on the floor, Raman fell over ishita and kept his hand under her head to prevent it from hurting. He came over her and said -r u OK??
Ishita nodded in yes while her cheeks were turning red under his constant gaze.
Raman -u wait, Main uthta hoon, then u get up.
Ishita nodded saying OK and he get off her slowly. He saw her milky neckline and then said looking away, u go and wear ur clothes.
Ishita didn't said anything, just got up and went inside. Raman was just looking at her. She closed the door and stood keeping her head on the door. She closed her eyes and remembered the incident. How raman held her, rescuing her from falling, grabbing her by waist, and then how he was looking at her. And again protected him from hurting keeping his hand under her head.
She smiled and said -utne bhi bure nahi hai. If he thinks he is my husband, then he is protecting me like that. And he look at me lustily even after seeing me like this, jab ki being a husband, it's his right. I remember how everyone use to lust on me, in the hotel. But he is not like that, thode se achche hai. Bas sharabi hai, that too because of the shreya. Kaun hai yeh shreya, jiski wajah se raman ji aise ho gaye hai. Bahut pyaar karte honge unse, tabhi. It's good, woh kisi aur se pyaar karte hai, I will be safe. Will try to find about shreya ji and then will try to make his life less miserable. Shayad iss tarah main iss sindoor ka farz nibha paaun. She thought and start wearing her clothes.
On the other hand, Raman was sitting on his bed drinking his nth drink and was thinking about ishita and the recent rendezvous with her. He was thinking about her innocent face.
He shrugged his mind and said -what I am thinking, I shouldn't think about her like this. Nahi yeh galat hai. Bhale hi hamari shaadi hui hai but I am not the one for her. Main uske laayak nahi, infact kisi ke laayak nahi. Main sirf logon ko dukh de sakta hoon, disappointment de sakta hoon. I don't deserve any relationship .he said and start drinking rapidly to avoid any conversation with her.
After five minutes, ishita came to check on raman and find him laying unconscious on the bed after drinking heavily.
Ishita -uff, he pass out again. Thik hai, let me search his room. May be I get some clue about shreya ji. She said and start cleaning his room searching some clue about shreya.
That's all for now, enjoy and do comment and hit like. Will wait for it.
