Ishra had food together and was sitting in each others arms. Raman was sitting resting his back on the back of the bed while ishita was sitting in front of him wrapping herself in his arms.
Raman kissed her hair and said -what r u thinking, jaan??
Ishita nodded saying nothing, when he said -tu ab bhi uss baat ke liye pareshan hai. Stop worrying jaan.
Ishita look at Raman and said -how can I relax, mujhe reh reh kar yaad aa jaa raha hai, that how everything got ruined. Kaise amma aur aunty ji jhagda kar rahi thi. Even appa want me to get married to someone else. Itna gussa aa raha hai ki kya bolun, like all have lost their mind.
Raman -but papa is in sane mind. He said making ishita look at him.
Raman -haan, papa is not involved in all this. Woh maa ko samjha rahen the, ki iss tarah rishta nahi tutta. And she should think about u like a woman. He even talk to me and told me how everything got turned so ugly. Baat bahut choti thi, if ur appa wanted ,he could have solved it, but unhone baat badhayi. Shayad jaan bujh kar.
Ishita look at him and said -matlab??
Raman -listen I am not sure but I think ur appa don't like me much and want u to marry his friend's son, so he did all this intentionally.
Ishita look at Raman and said -u really think, appa aisa kar rahen hai. He is playing games with me and amma.
Raman -i know tumhe achcha nahi lag raha hai, but just think of it. Aunty ji aur maa ki kai baar ladai hui hai and they have sorted it out. But this time, jhagda kam nahi ho raha, in fact it's increasing everytime. And if u noticed, it's ur dad who is pushing ur mother.
Ishita thought for a while and said -yes, u r right. U know he was even telling me to quit ur job and he will pay the compensation. But maind kaha that why will I pay anything. I can work with u, infact will work with u. And he was not much happy about the thing. I think u r right. She said looking at Raman and then said again -ab hum kya karenge, Raman. Agar appa nahi chahte toh woh hamari shaadi nahi hone denge.
Raman -we r already married, jaan. It's just we have to tell this to everyone. We have to manofy everyone.
Ishita -but how, when appa is against it. Woh amma ko manne hi nahi denge.
Raman -how can u even say this before trying. Try to talk with amma in ur appa's absence. May be this will make a difference.
Ishita thought for a while and said -ok.
Raman -ok naa, now smile. He said and ishita smiled.
Raman -finally, finally I could see ur smiling face. Bas aise hi muskurate raho, ur raman will handle everything. Jaise aaj tak manage kiya hai, aage bhi karta rahunga. U just smile and love me.
Ishita -pyaar toh karti hi hoon main aapse.
Raman -then let me love u, it's our suhaagraat at least. He said winking.
Ishita was in a fix when he said -just kidding, I just want to see u happy. He said getting up when she held his hand and said -i am really sorry, I am not allowing u to take our relationship ahead, jab ki yeh aapka haq hai.
Raman -its OK, jaan. Agar rishta hamara hai, toh usse sambhalne ki jimmedari bhi hamari hi naa.thode adjustment tum karo,thoda main. Isse hi toh rishta kehte hai.
Ishita smiled hearing him and said -u know raman, u r the best.
Raman -i know, he said and hugged her tight kissing her temple.
Both sat together for long, Raman was softly caressing her hair and was kissing her hair softly in between. She was also enjoying their proximity.
After long, Raman got up and said -i think now I should go, it's pretty late.
Ishita -chale jayenge, rukiye naa.
Raman -its very late, jaan. Tumhe sona bhi hoga and I too have to sleep.
Ishita -sleep here tonight.she said making Raman look at her.
She made a pleading face and said -please.
Raman -but jaan.
Ishita -if u want u can love me.
Raman smiled and said -u really think u have to do this to make me stay here. Itna hi jaanti ho mujhe.
Ishita -no raman ,it's not like this. Actually I am feeling guilty but aage bhi nahi badh paa rahi hoon.
Raman -i told u naa, it's perfectly alright. If u want I can stay here. But I will sleep hugging u tight and will kiss u in between. Thik hai naa.
Ishita -more then perfect. She said and both lay down on the bed. Raman was rubbing his nose on her back while she was also enjoying his warmth. He kissed her for long and then both slept cuddled in each other.
Next morning, ishita wake up feeling weight on herself and saw raman sleeping all over her.
She smiled and caressed his hair softly. She kissed his hair and said -i love u raman. U r the best thing happened to me. She was saying when she heard, love u too jaan.
Ishita -aap jag rahe ho??
Raman -bahut der se.
Ishita -toh gaye nahi??
Raman -was waiting for u to get up. Itni khoobsurat subah miss karne ka mann nahi tha. Was loving sleeping in ur arms. Chal naa jaan, honeymoon par chalte hai. I will just sleep in ur arms, for long.
Ishita smiled and said -shayad yeh wish bhi jaldi puri ho jaaye. But for now, get up and go to ur house before anyone see u.
Raman got up half heartedly and was going when she said -mere saath mandir chalenge??I want to pray for us.
Raman nodded in yes and went out of the room and then went to his house.
Ishita too got up and went to freshen up. She took shower and wore a red kanjivaram saree. She tied her hair and went down. Her parent were having breakfast and called her too, but she went telling them that she is going to Malai mandir to avoid talking to them.
Soon ishita was in Malai mandir waiting for Raman.
Soon Raman too came and both went inside. Ishita stood infront of the idol and start praying-yeh kaisa din le aayen hai aap, Murugan. Shaadishuda hote hue bhi mujhe aise rehna pad raha hai. Can't even tell anyone that I am married. Please don't do this to me. Hum log ki saari khushiyan barbaad mat kijiye. Please set everything right. Please amma-appa, aur aunty ji ko mana lijiye. Main aapke mandir ki 108 baar parikrama (rounds) karungi ,please yeh problem solve kar dijiye. Ab sirf aapka hi sahara hai, sort out this problem, please murugan please. She was saying with moist eyes when Raman hold her by waist and said -sab kuch thik ho jayega. Don't worry.
Ishita rested her head on his chest when pandit ji gave him their thaal. Raman took a pinch of sindoor and filled her partition.
Raman -now u r looking like my wife, he said smiling oblivious to a pair of eyes watching them.
Ishita too smiled and touched his feet.
Raman -omg, sanskari biwi. Waise bahut sundae lag rahi ho. Kuch laaya hoon tumhare liye, joh wahan nahi mili thi.
Ishita -kya??
Raman took out the thaali from his pocket and start tying it around her neck. He tied it around her neck and both smiled looking at each other.
Both turn to go and got shocked seeing Mr bhalla standing infront of them.
Botg were too shocked to say anything when Mr bhalla said -mujhe pata tha kuch gadbad hai. That's why I followed raman. Now tell me, what's happening. Tum dono already married ho. Kab hua yeh sab?? He asked in a go while Ishra just look at him like culprits.
That's all for now, enjoy and do comment and hit like. Will wait for it.
