ISHRA 'FF' ~~ 'To Trust OR Not To Trust' [Chap 4 - Page 8] - Page 3

"I trust you Ishita, I trust you more than I trust myself." as he said that out loud...loud enough for his heart to hear. He got up from bed and started pacing back and forth in his room. Running his hand through his hair, "I need to talk to her...NOW. I need to let her know I trust her." saying that he leaves his room and goes to meet Ishita.

Ishita was slowly regaining back her conscious and she turned around to see Mihika sleeping beside. She inhaled a long breath, wiping off the tears... tears that was not visible to the naked eyes, she exhaled and got off the bed. She wanted to be anyone but here. Knowing that the her murder and the place she was murdered at were just few steps away, she badly wanted to get away from it. But for now, all she wanted was some fresh air.

**Both Raman and Ishita open their respective doors at the same time**

Their eyes in direct contact both freeze at the main door. Flashbacks faster than the lighting starts overwhelming them. From their first ever meeting in the clinic, to the last one they had when Ishita was sewing back the button on Raman's shirt, every single memory starts consuming them. In sync the flashbacks were back to back just like how they show it the movies. BUT than the hurt...the pain felt by the hero heroine in the movies were fake whereas over here the emotions and value every single memory of Raman and Ishita were real...the pain was real... the hurt was real... the happiness was real and so was the Love...

A lone drop of tear rolled down Ishita's cheek, Raman could feel her bleeding heart. After all, he was the reason for it, he hurt her... even more than the Parmeet. "I am her husband, yet I let her down but that;s not because I didn't trust. Oh god, please just give her back to me. I want my Ishu back, she's mine and we both belong together," his mind voice was battling back and forth.

Ishita was about to close the door, when Raman called out. "Ishita" But she went ahead and slammed the door just when he ran over to her, slamming the door at his face. "Ishita, please I need to talk to you. Please Ishita, hear me out for second. God damn it just please listen to once Ishu, all I need is just 5 mins please open the door. I need to talk to you." It was 1am plus but Raman could be least bothered. He took so much of effort in making sure not to wake up any of his family members while going to meet Ishita but now he was wiling to wake up the entire society with his pleads and loud bang against the door.

Defeated he walks back to his house, and within few steps, he hears the door opening. "I want a divorce Mr.Raman Kumar Bhalla" says Ishita with a firm voice. And this time it was Raman who felt like someone had stabbed his heart. He almost instantly turns back facing Ishita with agony filled eyes and tears almost at the verge all set to gush out and flood the entire society perhaps. "Wha...wha...what did...what did you...what did you say?" he was struggling to complete his sentence, maybe because he didn't want to hear what she had said or wanted to say. "I want a divorce Mr.Raman Kumar Bhalla" saying this Ishita slams the door shut leaving behind a lifeless man still in a state of disbelief, holding onto to a tinge of hope that, this is all maybe just a dream. But reality hit him...hit him hard as he was left back with the echoes of the last spoken words of his Jhansi Ki Rani, who now no longer wanted to be his. "I want a DIVORCE Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla." "I want a DIVORCE Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla." "I want a DIVORCE Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla." and that's all he could hear.

TRUST...It's not just a word, it's a PROMISE...
