PART 1

She immediately tried calling the permeet's number but it was switched off

She started crying

" ab mein kya karoon , kisko call karoon ?" ishita got scared

She called raman's driver " kahaan hai aap ?" she asked

" saab ke office ke yahaan " the driver answered

" aur raman ? kahaan hai raman ?" she asked trying her best to sound normal

" office mein hain shayad , wo kuch der ke liye bahar gaye the mein tabhi gharwali ka phone attend karne gaya tha tho shayad tab saab office mein chale gaye " the driver answered

" teek hai " ishita said

She quickly locked the house gave the keys to amma and said to give to mummyji when they return , she lied to amma that there is an emergency in the clinic

She started driving quickly and reached raman's office

She ran in , the office was almost deserted

" raman kumaar bhalla se milna hai " she told the receptionist who was also getting ready to leave for her home

She hoped that she will say that he is in a very important meeting

" mam , he is not in office but his phone is in his office " the receptionist answered and gave ishita raman's phone

She was engulfed with fear , she was scared

She called romi and told him the situation

" bhabhi aap please shaant ho jaayiye , mein abhi pohunta hoon " romi said

" please romi , jaldhi aa jao , mujhe bohut darr lag raha hai " ishita cried

Within 15 mins romi came , those were the longest 15 mins of her life

" bhabhi ..." romi called

" romi , romi ,raman , kuch samaj nai aa raha , unka car yahaan hai , unka phone office mein lekin raman , pata nai wo kahaan hai ? kis halat mein hai ? kuch samaj nai aa raha " ishita cried and showed him parmeet's message

" bhabhi are you sure this is param ji's number ?" romi asked

" haan romi , I am sure , zaroor usne mere raman ke saath kuch bura kia hai , zaroor raman musibat mein hai , aur mein ? mein kaisi bivi hoon , mere pati musibat mein hai aur mein unki koi maddat bhi nai kar paa rahi hoon , mujhe raman ke paas jaana hai , romi kuch karo na , please " ishita cried

" bhabhi please shaant ho jaayiye , bhai bohut strong hai , I am sure param ji ke chaal se wo bach gaye honge , he will be fine " romi tried to assure ishita

" guddu bhaiya jab aapne raman ko kahin jaate hue dekha tho kis taraf jaate hue dekha ? " ishita asked raman's driver

" uss taraf " the driver pointed towards the direction raman had gone

Ishita ran in that direction , she saw a florist and stopped there

She showed him raman's photo and asked " kya aapne inhe kahin dekha hai ?"

" haan madam , inhone yeh boquet order kiya lekin aye nai ab tak lene ke liye " the florist showed the boquet

The message said " dearest Jhansi ki rani "

She hugged the boquet and started crying

" bhabhi please apne aap ko sambhaliye " romi holded ishita's shoulder

" fir kahaan gaye wo ?" she asked the florist

" pata nai madam " the florist said

" bhabhi police ki maddad lete hain " romi suggested

Ishita caught hold of a person " aapne inhe dekha hai ? wo yahin se kahin gaye hain "

" nai behenji " the man answered

She ran to a gol gappa wala " bhaiya ji ? please mujhe batayiye kya aapne inhe kahin dekha hai ? "

" nai behenji " the gol gappa vendor answered

Ishita dropped down and started crying

" kya kia hoga parmeet ne , mujhe darr lag raha hai " she sobbed

" bhabhi police ke paas jaate hain na , please bhabhi " romi said and helped ishita get up

She and romi walked to the car

" bhabhi mein gaadi chalata hoon " romi said and opened the passenger door for her

She sat in , but she was lost

They reached the police station and launched a complaint

" aap log ghar jayiye , hum log raman saab ko dhoondke aapko inform karenge " the inspector said

" bhabhi raat ke 2 bhaj gaye , ghar chalte hain " romi said after coming out

" nai , nai romi , mein ghar kaise aa sakti hoon ? raman musibat mein hain , unhe meri zaroorat hai , mein kisi ke bharose nai reh sakti , mein bina raman ko dhoonde ghar nai aaungi , mein ruhi ko kya kahoongi , mere liye sabse zyada important hai raman ko dhoondna " ishita said

" lekin bhabhi , hum bhai ko dhoondenge kahaan ? aur raat bhi itna ho gaya hai ? subha dhoondte hai na " romi said

" nai romi , tum ghar jao , mein raman ko dhoondke hi rahoongi " ishita said

" bhabhi , aap samaj nai rahe hain ..." romi started

" samaj tho tum nai rahe ho , mujhe raman se milna hai aur abhi milna hai , mein raman ke bina kahin nai aaungi , mein unhe iss sheher ke har ek khone mein dhoondungi , lekin unhe wapas leke hi ghar aaungi " ishita said

" teek hai bhabhi , mein aapke saath hoon " romi said

" nai romi , tumhaara exams hai , tumhe padna chahiye , kitne mushkilon ke baad bala jiju ne tumhe aur tumhaare doston ko ek last chance dia hai , tum din bhar mere saath rahoge tho thak jaaoge , fir padhai kaise kar paaoge ? tho tum ghar jao , mein raman ko dhoond loongi " ishita said

" ishu is right , you go home and sleep and then get up and start studying , mein ishita ke saath raman ko dhoondta hoon " bala said

Ishita hugged her jiju and started crying

" ishu , shhh... you cant cry , tum raman ki jhasi ki rani ho , tum ro nai sakti " bala said

" ok bhabhi , mein ghar jaata hoon aur ruhi ko sambhalta hoon , aap please apna khayal rakhiye , aur agar koi bhi madda ki zaroorat ho tho mujhe please bula lijiye , mujhe poora yakeen hai ki aap bhai ko dhoond lenge hi " romi said

" haan romi , tum ghar pohunchke mujhe call karo " ishita said

Romi called his friend and asked for lift and left for home

" jiju aap yahaan ? amma -appa pareshaan ho gaye honge na ? " she asked bala after composing herself

" haan ishu , tumne joot jo bola , ishu jab romi ne kaha tho sab pareshaan ho hi gaye , lekin shayad sabse zyada pareshaan tum ho ,issliye mein tumhaare help karne aa gaya I can understand tum par kya beet rahi hai , trust me sab teek ho jayega , hum bohut jaldh raman ko dhoond lenge " bala consoled her

" jiju , raman teek honge na ?" ishita asked out of fear

" ofcourse rama teek hai , tumhaare pyaar ka shield usse zyada nuksaan se 100% bachayega , you just see , he will be fine " bala assured her

" ab kahaan jaana chahti ho ?" bala asked

" mein iss sheher ke har hospital mein jaana chahti hoon , shayad kisi ne raman ko hospitalise kia hoga " ishita said a possibility

" lekin hospitals mein tho police bhi check karenge ishu " bala said

" mein kisi ke bharose nai ruk sakti jiju , mujhe raman ke paas jaana hai , jaldh se jaldh , mein khud personally hospitals mein check karna chahti hoon jiju " ishita said

" ok baba , tum raman ko jahaan jahaan dhoondna chahti ho , wahaan dhoondne hum jayenge , ok ?" bala tried to convince her

She nodded her head and got into her car

" haar mat maan , tu kar sakta hai " he said to himself and continued his strokes

He had to reach the shore , he had to do it , if not for himself then for his angel who waited for him , for his jhansi ki rani who was his life , he remembered her shy face in the morning when she requested him to come home early

He remembered how he had eavesdropped her conversation with his family

He was so happy that finally his Jhansi ki rani was going to confess her love for him

He remembered all those times when he understood that she loved him with all his flaws

He remembered how she changed him and made him in believe in love all again

He reached the shore thinking about her , he was tired so he thought of sleeping there for 5 mins

***

" please ek baar check tho kijiye " she requested again

" ishu , she has checked it , raman is not here " bala said

She broke down into tears again

" jiju , humne delhi ke saare hospitals mein check kar liya , ab kahaan dhoondon mein raman ko ?" she cried

" don't worry ishu , sab teek ho jayega " bala said

" jiju almost subha ho gaya , poori raat dhoonda , pata nai kahaan honge wo , kis halat mein honge , jiju ab mujhe bohut darr lag raha hai , murugaa please help me " she cried
