Raman's world came crashing down on him. He just couldn't believe that it is happening again. The letters in that notice threw daggers at him. He couldn't bear holding them in his hands anymore... He collapsed with those papers. Mr.Bhalla and others was quite clueless. Ishita saw Raman's condition and gathered herself together. She touched Raman's shoulders.
Ishita: (in a whisper) Raman... Aap andar kamre mein jayiye... Ghar ka mamala ghar mein rehni chahiye... Let everyone leave...
Raman slowly nodded his head. Before he could leave, someone started... Subbu's mom...
Subbu's mom: Lo...Shuru ho gayi... Subbu beta, mujhe lag raha tha ki kam se kam aaj ke din yeh function toh bina twists aur turns ke chalega... Lekin, lagta hai Ishu beti ke naseeb mein aisa kuch likha hi nahi hain... Phir se drama... Zara hume bhi batao ki aakir baat kya hai... Thoda entertainment ho jaye...
Subbu smirked listening to the same...
Ishita: Bas...
Subbu's mom: Yeh kya horaha hai... Tumhare pati ya beti aaj tumhe defend karna nahi aayi??? Khud bolne lagi ho...
Ishita: Aaj mein khud jawab doongi. Jante ho, jab aap phir ek baar bin bulaye mehmann banke aaye the, tab mujhe laga tha ki kam se kam aaj ke din bina kisi drama ke chup chap chale jayenge... But, I can see that I'm clearly wrong... Aur Mr.Subramanian, Hasee aa raha hai aapko? Aisa kousi ghar dekha hai aapne jahan problems nahi hoti... Humari ghar ke maamlon mein aapko padne ki zaroorat nahi hai...
Subbu and his mother were shocked at Ishita's outburst. Not only those two, everyone gathered there including Raman were shocked. He forgot their misery for a moment and was proud that Ishita finally took a stand.
Subbu's mom: Itni bezzati kiya tumne aaj ki...
Ishita cuts her in-between...
Ishita: Really aunty? Aap doosron ko voh mauka kahan dete ho... Khud apne bezzati kara rahe ho aap... Anyways, agar apke bak bak khatam ho gayi tho, darwaja wahan hai...
Not able to take anymore, Subbu took his mother and strode off...
Raman went inside with Arjun. Ishita tried to compose herself and made herself busy with the guests. Bhallas and Iyers were restless to know about the contents of the notice. But, no one had the guts to ask that question to Raman after seeing his condition and Ishu made herself inaccessible. Only option available was to wait till these ppl leave the place.
Meanwhile,Raman who has been gripping the edge of the bed after putting Arjun to sleep, went one year back to flip through his past memories.
Precap: 1 year back... Custody battle in court...
