Part 4

Few more days passed ,ishra relationship was still cold , though ishita had not given up but Raman was not giving her time . He comes late to class and leaves college as earliest as possible , living ishita with no choice stay away from him and spend more times with other . Ishita too started thinking that Raman is not the same person who was his best friend whom she has left . Though she was hurt with his behaviour but she can't even blame him because it was her who had left him . She was still sitting in the class writing some random things in her notebook when mihika said " hey ishita where are you lost babe".

I- nowhere.

She answered bluntly ,mihika sat beside her and spoke softly " I know you are upset because of Raman na."

Ishita looked at mihika ,giving her a helpless look and spoke " I know miku that I left away but he has to understand that I was just a kid , how could I had stayed back for him ".

M- I totally agree with you ,that's why I always say ,that bhalla is reacting too much , you should not give him much importance, ignore him ,then see he himself will come behind you .

I- no miku it's not about importance.

M- then ,what do you think it is ?

I- I don't know exactly but it's more than anger , his eyes are so blank without any expression , though he show his anger to me but it's not only that .

M- may be its love ,may be you are his first love but before he confesses his love to you ,you went away .

I- are you nuts ,we were in class eight when I left ,we were kids at that time miku .

M- hadn't you listen ,na umr ki seema ho na janmo ka ho bandhan , Jab pyaar koi to dekhe kewal mann.

I- suna hai phir .

M- phir ye ki ,any one can fall for anyone at any age ,so may be your best friend Raman bhalla was in love with you and you went without prior notice, so he have right to be angry .

I- is it so ,Rams loved me .

M- ofcourse it is .

Ishita blushed listening to mihika ,,she noticed this and teased " oops someone is blushing , that mean you too love him ".

I- naah ,I don't love him ,he is just my friend .

M- you are lying na.

I- nahi re ,nothing like that . I don't love him ,he is just my friend .

M- may be not you but he loves you .

I- pata nahi , but I don't think so .

M- ok then , we are going for shopping now .

I- shopping ? What shopping ?

M- chill man ,we don't have any further classes and your Bhalla has also left so we can go and you know ,you don't have any option to deny .

I- ok as you say.

Saying so she kept her notebook in her bag and left with mihika ,they just has reached the main gate of college when Abhi and group too join them with two more girls , manisha and preeti, they too were their classmate . Ishita looked at them and asked mihika " somany people ? ".

M- yeah ,we are going with them ,actually today is samraath's birthday and he is giving us party.

I- ohh that's great ,happy birthday samraath .

Sam- that's a lot ishita,meet preeti my girl .

I- I know her as my classmate now I had another introduction of her .

That's when vikram embraces manisha in his arms and announced that she is his girlfriend while vikrant looked and mihika and she blushed ,making it clear that they are couple . Ishita teased mihika through eyes while she just turned beetroot red .All couples sat on their bikes while ishita and abhi was left alone, now ishita was confused what to do . Though she don't have any problem in sitting with abhi but she don't want to make Raman more angry. She very well knew that he don't like about a bit . Ishira was thinking about Raman's reaction when abhi came near in his bike and said " hey ishita where are you lost , come sit ,that looser is not around, so you need not to fear ."

Ishita got angry listening to this and spoke " Abhi how many times I told you ,not to speak anything against Rams ."

Saying so she went out of the college campus and started looking for some transport ,when abhi came behind her and spoke " I m so sorry ishita ,I will not tell anything to your best friend , come on sit on my bike ".

I- no I m good ,you go ,I don't want your lift .

Abhi held ishita's hand and spoke " ishita please ,I m genuinely sorry , I swear I will not talk ill about your friend ,ok . Forgive me for once ."

He spoke making a puppy face, ishita smiled a bit and said " last time .,if you say anything about Rams again ,I will not talk to you ever ".

A- ok maam as you say .

Ishita settled in his bike and they rode towards the shopping mall . All Girls and all boys splits in two groups and went to their sections to buy things for themselves . After about two hours of long shopping they were done with it ,then they went to their respective homes and hostels ,only to meet again in evening for the party.

It was 7.30 PM in the evening as abhi was alone , he again came to pick ishita . This time he had brought his car to pick her . They drove towards the disco where the party was, they reached bit late and everybody else were already there waiting for them . Ishita saw the place and asked " what's this ".

Ma- this is disco sweety ,come in and enjoy .

I- I have never been to these place .

Ma- haan then come now ,its a lovely place ,you will enjoy here .

P- yeah ,come on.

Saying so they all entered the place, samraath has already bought their passes . They all went inside , they went to the counter asked drinks for everybody ,boys took bear while girls settled for fruit champagne. After that all went and started dancing ,atfirst ishita was denying but when everybody insisted, she too went and started dancing . Atfirst she was bit shy but when she started she started dancing freely that's when she spotted Raman ,sitting on the stool near the bar counter drinking something . She left the dance and walked to him ,she settled beside him . Raman didn't noticed him and was waiting for his drink while her eyes were on him, the moment the bartender kept his glass ,she grabbed it . Raman turned to her and spoke angrily before seeing the person " what the hell ,do you think...". He stopped in mid and spoke after a while getting surprised " ish... is it you ".

I- yeah .

R- give that's my drink..

I- now I holding so that's my drink .

R- have you lost it ,its alcohol.

I- ohh , thanks for informing.

Saying so she was about to sip when he held her hand and spoke stopping her" pagal hai kya ,you are not going to have this ".

I- why ? If you can have it then I too can have it . Chalo aadha aadha peetein hain ,yaad hai ma'am ne sikhaya tha ,sharing is caring .

R- yeah ,I remember ,I care for you that's why I m stopping you .

I- aise kaise .

R- you know it's not good for health .

I- achcha .

R- humm .

I- jab tujhe pata hai that this is not good for health then why are you drinking. If it's bad for my health then it's bad for you too na.

R- ish I don't want to argue with you ,please go and enjoy with your friends .

I- you too come with me .

R- no , you go ,I will get going.

Saying so he got up ,paid for his drinks and was going. Ishita ran behind him and held his hand ,he freed his hand from him and was going when ishita said " Rams if you will leave without talking to me ,then I swear I will go and drink ."

R- no you will not .

I- yes I will and will drink till I loose my senses .

R- it's not safe .

I- i don't care ,if you don't care for me then I can't take care of myself . I don't know anyone in this big city still I came here just with a hope that i will meet you but what you are doing to me is painful . I agree I couldn't inform you but it was not my fault ,I was small . Main kya karti , mujhe jaana padha .

Her eyes got moist ,he looked at her,she was saying with sincerity . His eyes too got moist , they looked at eachother for sometimes when ishita ruffled his hair and messed it up ,he frowned and shouted " don't you do that ".

I- I will do that always ,because I know it irks you alot .

R- then I too can do that .

Saying so he too slides his finger in her hair and messed them up ,she groaned angrily while he giggled freely like a kid . Her anger vanished soon while a sweet smiles crept on her lips , after a while he stopped when he noticed that she was looking at him . He combed his hair with his hands and started moving when ishita said " I miss you a lot Rams ,please don't go leaving me ".

R- not you but I missed you more got that . I missed you and still missing you .

I- I m here for you .

R- but you were not when I needed you mmost , yyou wwere mmy luc..luc..lucky cha..charm bbut you wwent leaving me ,afffter you ppapa too wwwent then mma too wwent ,le leaving me aalone.

Both were stammering because of sadness without caring about the surrounding ,after much time ishita parted from him and wiped his tears ,then spoke " do you want to talk about it ."

R- ek tu hi to ,with whom I can share my life, you know I was all alone without you .

I- take ne to your home .

R- no one is there ,its all alone .

I- tu rahta hai na wahaan par ( you live there na ).

Saying so she quickly send a message to mihika that she is leaving and followed Raman,both settled in his bike and rode towards his house .
