Thank you so much for the response.
Part-8
Ishra spent whole night there only and next morning they had some tea and snacks, then were going when Ishita remembered that she forget her mobile phone. Raman went to take her mobile. He thought to call on her number to find her mobile soon. He did the same and found her mobile. Mobile was showing his real name, Raman Kumar Bhalla making him realised that he used his real number instead of the number of Ram. He tried to delete it but her mobile was secured with password. He went out and said giving mobile phone to Ishita that Dr Raman Bhalla called her. She got surprised and checked it. She tried to call but none pick and Raman had already put it on silent. Then they left from there. They reached camp then got ready for the day and joined the others. At night, she was going to meet Ashok again as she couldn't meet that night because of Dr Ram. Raman was also following her as he had doubt that she will go today also. He was following her secretly to know the reason behind their late night meeting, that's when he received a call from Mihir. He just changed his view for a few seconds to cut the call and he missed Ishita. Then he searched for her and finally spotted her with Ashok. He tried to listen their conversation hiding from them.
I - Tumne yeh backwas sunane ke liye bulaya hai mujhe yahan.
A - Tumhe yeh bakwas lag rhi hai. Lekin mere liye to yeh bhot important kam hai jo tum karogi.
I (angrily) - I will not do that.
A - You will have to do this Dr Ishita Iyer because I'll also do something for you. And you very well known ki agar maine tumhare kam ko mana kar diya to jis self respect ke sath tum and tumhari friends jee rhe ho na vo sab mitti mein mil jaayega. You all will be finished. If you want then I can show you the trailer….
I (angrily) - Shut your mouth.
A (smiling) - Gussa aa gaya? Isse pehle ki mujhe gussa aaye, say yes to my deal.
I (after thinking) - Fine. I'm accepting your deal.
Saying she left while Ashok smiled evilly.
A - Now I will get what I want. I will show you all what can I do.
Ashok left, then Raman who was very confused after hearing their conversation. Raman reached his room. He was thinking which work Ishita asked Ashok to do and in return what Ashok want from Ishita, if it's related to the illegal activities in the hospital or not. He went to the balcony and was thinking continuously when he heard,
Ritika - Ishita, we are asking you again. Please tell us what Ashok told you.
I - Nothing. you please stop asking me the same thing again and again. I told you na. Nothing.
Nikita - Nothing?? He is Ashok. Vo aise hi nhi maan sakta. Use kuch to manga hi hoga badle mein. Please Ishita, tell me….
I (irritated) - Ha maanga hai usne aur jo bhi maanga hai vo de dungi usse par jo main chaati hu vo main usse karwa kar rahungi. Tum dono tension mat lo. I will handle it. Ashok Khanna, you messed up with wrong person. Now I will show you what can I do.
Saying she left leaving her friends worried and Raman confused. He went inside his room frustrated.
R - Pagal bna diya hai dono ne. Don't know what they want to show to each other and what I will get to see. I think now I should do something otherwise I will never get to know who is doing all that illegal activities.
Rest of the days passed smoothly. Ishita didn't meet Ashok after that night while Raman was keeping his eyes on them and their each and every activity but he didn't get a clue. Finally, the camp ended and all returned back to their regular routine. Raman didn't inform anything to anyone about Ishita's conversation with Ashok. One fine night, Ishita went for dinner with her friends and returned a little earlier than the time she informed Mihika and was surprised to see Mihir and Mr Bhalla at Iyer house sitting in hall with Mihika and Mr Iyer. She was even more surprised to see their weird behaviour seeing her like she caught them red handed. She greeted them and before she could ask Mr Iyer informed her that he called them for dinner. She asked about Mrs Bhalla and Mihir told that she along with Mrs Iyer went to a jagrata. Mihir was looking towards stairs in between so Ishita asked if he is waiting for someone but he denied.
Mihir - Main abhi ek minute mein aaya. Mujhe call karna hai bhai ko.
He said in a hurry and nervousness making Ishita to look at him suspiciously but she didn't say anything. But when mihir came,
I - Vaise Mihir, where is your brother right now?
Mihir - Bhai??
I - Ha your bhai. Dr Raman Kumar Bhalla.
Mr Iyer - But why do you want to know?
I - Surprisingly, aaj kal mere Appa mujhe kuch batate nhi hai. Infact, he has so many questions to ask to me. Koi nhi main to answer de hi sakti hu. Vo kya hai na Appa, he is a very good gynaecologist so I have some work with him. So Mihir, where's your brother right now? I had called at mumbai. He is not there so can you tell me.
Mihir - Vo actually, bhai… bhai is not in delhi, in fact he is not even in India. He is out of country.
He said in a go.
I - Out of country? ? Where and for what??
Mr Iyer - Ishu, he has his own life. He can go anywhere. You can talk to him after a few days when he will come back.
I - When will he come back?
Mr Iyer - He went for some work. So after completing that work, he will come back. Now you go.
I - OK Appa.
She left and was near her room when she got a call from Ritika.
I - Ha Ritika, bolo pahuch gaye tum dono.
Ritika - Yes we reached. And listen, Dr Awasthhi called me. He is trying to call you but you are not picking the calls.
I - Oh, that means Dr Awasthhi was calling me sometime back. Oh no. Actually I was with Appa, Mihika and Bhallas so couldn't attend his calls. Don't worry I will call him now.
Ritika - Phir se kuch hua kya?
I - Nhi.. actually yes. I will call you back later. OK.
Ritika - OK.
She cut the call and dialled Dr Awasthhi's number going inside her room and closed the door. She talked to him for sometime. Then she started thinking, did some work and then talked to her friends. On the other hand, Raman heard her conversation while going to her room and wondered why she is eager to talk to Dr Awasthhi, a well known gynaecologist with whom he worked. He left downstairs and soon Bhallas left before Ishita could see Raman. After reaching home, Raman called Dr Awasthhi and asked why Ishita called him to which he told him that she was asking if he knows any Dr Ram and he denied. Raman requested him to call back Ishita and told that he know Dr Ram. Dr Awasthhi asked the reason but he told him that it's a secret and there is nothing wrong. He agreed and called Ishita. He did as Raman told him making Ishita wondered about his sudden changed mind but she didn't say anything. While Raman planned something for the next day.
Next day, Raman told Mr Bhalla to take a round of the hospital for inspection so that everyone got busy. Mr Bhalla did the same and Raman got busy with the inspection of Ishita, her friends, Ashok and his friends rooms to get some information as no one was there. He started with Ashok and his friends, then Ishita's friends but didn't get anything. At last he went to Ishita's room, he started searching thinking he will get some information but deep inside his heart he was praying that he would not find something wrong. He searched for sometime and finally something came into his hands which made him shocked to the core. He read it again and again to confirm. He didn't want to believe it. He started searching again but didn't find anything. Only her laptop was left unchecked and it was locked also. He left from there shocked.
Whole day he was thinking, whether the things he got in her room belongs to her or is it the same thing which Ashok wanted her to do. He was confused. Ishita didn't see him till lunch time and wondered why he was not there even during inspection time and even Mr Bhalla didn't pay attention on it. After lunch time, she met him but he was escaping from talking to her as he was much disturbed and didn't want to shout at her. He didn't know why but he didn't want that she would be behind all the illegal activities. Somewhere in his heart, he was praying for the same. In the evening, Ishita was discussing a case with Raman when she got a call and just left immediately saying she has some important work. Raman wanted to follow her but couldn't as he couldn't go leaving behind patients. It was strange for him as she never left her duty in mid.
Here I'm ending this part.
