PART 3
Ishita was sitting in her room trying to study while her mind was on her conversation with Raman.
Ishita-kya itna obvious tha,that he guessed it so easily.nahi,I was pretending nicely then how he guessed it,ki mujhe woh actually achche lage hai and I am just pretending to gain his attention.waise mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha.he must be hurt,but no.unhe toh koi fark nahi padha,infact he guessed my intention.kitna stupid ki tarah behave Kiya maine.agar woh sabko bata dete ki main pretend Kar rahi hoon,toh kitni insult ho jaati.thanks god he didn't said anything to anyone.waise sach mein,woh hai bahut handsome.itne ki unhe dekh kar kisi bhi nazrein tham jaaye,but main itni easily patne wali nahi aur naa unhe tang karna chodungi.she was thinking and smiling when her phone rang.
She picked it seeing an unknown number and said-hello.
Raman-thinking about me??
Ishita-raman??
Raman smiled and said-yes,ur Raman.
Ishita-aapko mera number kahan se mila??
Raman-khojne wale toh khuda ko dhoondh lete hai,yeh toh phir bhi number hai.bolo naa,mere baare mein soch rahi thi.
Ishita-nahi,I was studying.aur aap mujhe disturb mat kijiye .
Raman-oh sorry,achcha phone rakhta hoon.he said and acted to hung the call when she said-agar phone Kar hi liya hai toh baat kar lijiye .
Raman smiled hearing her and said-jaisa tumhara order.then tell me,thinking about me.
Ishita-kahan naa nahi,kuch aur puchiye.

Raman-mujhe pata tha,I love u too.he said smiling making her realise what she said.
Ishita-nahi nahi,nahi karti.
Raman-u just said yes.
Ishita-maine suna nahi tha.
Raman-but Maine sunn liya aur maan bhi liya .
Ishita-raman,it's not like that.
Raman-achcha maan liya,tumhe dekhne ka mann kar raha hai.video call karun.
Ishita-raman,hum koi much in love couple nahi hai.
Raman-toh ban jaate hai,mujhe koi aitraaz nahi.
Ishita-we just met today.
Raman-phir bhi lag raha hai jaise hamesha se jaanta hoon.
Ishita-now u r being cheesy.
Raman-achcha sorry,I realised.main tumhe pareshan kar raha hoon.i think I should hung the call aur tum bhi so jao.its late.
Ishita-ok,aap bhi so jao.
Raman-can I share something??
Ishita-boliye.
Raman-jab tumne mujhe hug Kiya tha aaj,mujhe bahut achcha lagaa tha.lagaa jaise hamesha se jiski talaash thi,woh finally mil gayi.tum mujhe pehli nazar mein hi bahut achchi lagi thi ,but I was hurt jab tumne mujhe uncle kaha.but the way u were looking at me,I realised u were actually admiring me aur mujhe bahut achcha lagaa .u know Ishita,main aaj tak bahut ladkiyon se mila hoon,but joh ehsaas tumhare saath hua ,woh pehle kabhi nahi hua.bata sakti ho aisa kyun??he was saying while she was just listening to him silently.
Raman-so gayi Kya bore ho Kar??
Ishita-nahi ,sunn rahi hoon.
Raman-toh jawaab do.tumhe dekh joh ehsaas jaage hai ,ussi ko pyaar kehte hai Kya??
Ishita-nahi pata,I never felt any such feeling.
Raman-koi nahi,main tumhe ehsaas karaunga,iss pyaar ka.
Ishita smiled and said-i will wait for it.
Raman-achcha aur nahi pareshan karunga,good night.
Ishita-good night.she said and both hung the call.
Ishita was smiling thinking about their convo when her phone rang .she got scared seeing the number and picked the phone.
Ishita-hello appa.
Appa-kisse baat kar rahi thi itne der se.i was calling u from last ten minutes.
Ishita-friend thi appa,notes discuss Kar rahe the.
Appa-jhooth toh nahi bol rahi.koi ladka toh nahi tha.
Ishita got petrified hearing this and said-nahi appa,friend thi.
Appa-thik hai,kisi ladke se baat ki yaa dosti ki,toh u know me.
Ishita-aisi koi baat nahi hai ,appa.
Appa-good,main soch raha hoon kuch dino ki chutti le kar Ghar aa jao.
Ishita-kuch kaam hai Kya,appa??
Appa-kyun aise nahi aa sakti,tumhara kuch chakker toh nahi chal raha,ishu??he asked getting angry.
Ishita-nahi appa,semester exams hone wale hai ek mahine mein issliye pucha.
Appa-haan toh uske baad aa jaana.vandita ki godhbharayi hone wali hai ,toh hum soch rahen hai ki tumhari Shaadi bhi fix Kar de subbu ke saath.
Ishita-itni jaldi aur woh bhi subbu ke saath.
Appa-haan ,Kya burai hai usme aur waise bhi tumhara graduation toh pura hone wala hai.waise bhi jiski chaar betiyan ho,usse toh jaldi rahegi hi.
Ishita-par appa,subbu.woh bahut domonating hai.main uske saath khush nahi reh paaungi.
Appa-dont talk rubbish,jab vandita ki Shaadi hui thi,tab hi unn logon ne tumhe pasand kar liya tha,woh toh tumhari zidd thi graduation puri karne ki aur subbu ne tumhe permission bhi de di thi ,toh ab yeh sab baatein karne ka koi faayda nahi.iss mahine ke baad tumhari engagement hogi subbu ke saath aur phir final exam ke baad Shaadi.he said and hung the call while Ishita hide her face .
Ishita-tu kaise bhool gayi,ishu.tujhe permission nahi hai pyaar karne ki.teri Shaadi fix ho gayi hai uss subbu ke saath aur kisi ko koi fark nahi padhta ki tu usse pyaar karti hai yaa nahi.yaa phir tu kabhi uske saath khush rahegi yaa nahi .appa toh bas iss liye khush hai ki unki ek responsibility kam ho jayegi.nahi,mujhe adhikaar nahi hai kisi se pyaar karne ka,aur uss raaste ke baare mein sochna bhi galat hai.main Raman ki feelings ko hawa nahi de sakti ,jab main unki feelings ko reciprocate nahi kar sakti.she said crying on her fate.
After sometime ,she went to her bed thinking about her life since childhood.being the second daughter out of four,her life was as hell as her other sisters.her appa is very strict ,never gave them air to even breath.
Since childhood her appa was dominating her and her other sisters.she always thought that may be she will be able to live happily after her marriage but all her dreams crushed after vandita's in laws chosed her for their second son subbu.at first she tried to adjust with the fact ,but slowly she realised that subbu is as dominating as her appa.
She loosen all hopes from her life when she got admission in her favourite college .after persuing everyone for long,they finally gave her permission to study there but only on one condition that she will be married to subbu just after completing her studies.
She agreed thinking to escape from the situation for the time being and came dehradoon.
She tried to be happy and chirpy ,trying to live her life happily before her marriage.she also stopped herself from feeling anything for anyone.today for the first time ,she felt something for someone and the moment she start smiling genuinely,her father came to remind her about the ugly truth of her life.
She turned another side and said looking at the sky out of the window-kyun meri Zindagi aisi hai ,murugan.kya mujhe kisi Khushi ka haq nahi .subbu nahi hai woh,jiska Maine intezaar Kiya tha,but shayad Raman ho sakte the.but aapne mujhe yeh mauka hi nahi diya ,ki main unke baare mein kuch soch sakun,kuch feel Kar sakun.tomorrow I have to stop him to make advances towards me.mujhe chahe kitne bhi achche lage woh,but mujhe unhe bhoolna hi hoga ,kyunki woh nahi hai meri kismat mein.i have to adjust with subbu only.she thought and slept.
Next morning,she wake up at her usual time and get ready.she went to college determined to maintain distance from Raman and will stop him directly if he try to flirt with her.
Ishita-agar main unhe pyaar nahi kar sakti ,toh unhe umeed dene ka bhi koi haq nahi mujhe.bhale mujhe unka dil todna pade,but main unhe khud ki taraf kadam badhane nahi de sakti.i can't love him and also can't let him love me.unko heartbreak se bachane ke liye mujhe unka dil todna hi padega.she thought and walked into the class.
She entered the class and got surprised seeing the ambience.everyone was laughing talking with each other having snacks and soft drinks .she look around and went to her friends.
Ishita-kya ho raha hai??
Her friend-woh Raman bhalla hai naa,hamare trustee aur classmate bhi.woh bahut cool hai yaar.hum sab class mate ko party di hai aaj .aaj hamari saari classes bhi suspend kara di.kaha ,aaj ke din hum sab bas enjoy karenge.we will celebrate our friendship.isnt it cool.
Ishita-achcha,Kahan hai woh??she asked and her friend showed her to the direction he was standing.
Ishita look at him and could see him laughing standing with few of their classmates flashing his ever charming dimples.he was wearing a white shirt with black jeans along with a blue denim jacket.
Ishita smiled seeing him and said-kitni ajeeb baat hai,aaj unka dil todne aayi hoon but aaj woh haste hue kitne achche lag rahen hai mujhe.cant broke his heart,kyunki aaj sabse cute lag rahen hai with his cute dimples.
That's all for now,enjoy.
