Plz read this new story by me on ishra
Plot - Raman deeply disturbed with the fact that adi cannot be with him even after acknowledging him as father (thanks to bala, he started to see through ashok). Adi still loved shagun a lot as his mom and hated ishita. Raman could not do anything about it. Adi asked him whether they can be together like before- raman-shagun-adi-ruhi as family...he even offered to convince ruhi. Adi believed what raman had told that ishitha does not mean anything more to him than ruhi's mother (adi's b'day).
Raman reaches home all tired...he had had afew drinks too...It was just to make his head lighter. He had promised to himself that he would not come home drunk after ishu convinced him on the same...but today he was so confused at this situation...
In his room, Raman was thinking of adi's words...Raman tried to make adi understand that he can't b with shagun for whatever reason it is...he can't do it even for his kids...Adi asked him whether he loves only ruhi. This had made raman confused. Adi reminded him that he married ishita for ruhi, then why cant he b with shagun for adi, rather for a happy family together...
Raman thought to himself...How can i tell adi that i love my wife ishita and that i cannot even think of shagun again leave alone live with her as family. He loved ishita just like he loved his kids and he cant hurt her for adi's happiness alone...niether can he deny the fact that he needed ishita as his wife, companion, soulmate...He cant think of a life without her, not even a day. Even the thought of family with shagun" as adi had put it irked him. He felt that he is betraying ishu with that thought...He thought and finally he decided
"ishita is my wife and i love her irrespective of the status of our relationship right now...She also loves him, he was sure of it now...(even though they didn't confess to each other) and he knew the fact that nothing in this whole world can separate ishu and ruhi, not him and not anyone else...he will not allow even adi to come between them...He loved adi a lot, more than he could handle. But what he demanded today can never ever b possible. He cant stake 3 lives for that...He knew he can and never do it..."
Ishu enters the bedroom and see raman lost in thought and tensed about something. She comes near and realises he is drunk. She is concerned for him and asks what is the matter. He ignores her and asks her to leave him alone. Ishu being ishu, cant do it and presses him for an answer...he tries his best but after a point due to her constant questioning about what happened, why he was drunk, why he is avoiding her...he completely loses it and blurts out what adi wants...ishu is taken aback but pretends to keep a straight face...She asks raman to just relax for time-being and sleep...
Ishu thinks about what raman told her, she knew how much raman loves adi. She could not digest the fact that adi is kept away from raman due to her. She will bring adi to this house. She goes to shagun's house and convinces adi. Adi accepts on the condition that ishu will stay away from his sight and raman's life. Ishu thinks in her mind that what adi wanted is something she cant accept but she just wanted raman's happiness now. She thought she will b able to convince adi later...
Adi comes home and raman and whole bhalla family is happy, ruhi too. Ishu felt happy for them. Adi gave her an angry stare. Raman wondered what made adi change his decision all of a sudden. Adi starts responding to raman's love and this makes raman happy. He felt complete after many years...a loving wife, his kids love him and what more does he want.
Raman takes leave next day so that 4 of them can go out. But ishu gives excuse of patients and goes to clinic. As days pass raman realises that ishu is giving different excuses for staying away from him. She goes to clinic early, comes back late, stays in iyer house till late night and often comes to room after he sleeps, somehow managed to avoid being alone with raman. He starts getting affected the more he thought about it...is it bcoz adi came to stay with them, does she not like it??? But now he knew her too well to even doubt about it.
When raman tried to confront ishu on the same, she just brushes it off as something silly. Now he knew for sure something is wrong. She was there for ruhi like before and also for the whole bhalla family but now he was 100% sure that she was royally avoiding him and this was something which was new to him after their marriage. She was always around even if it was for fighting, taunting, caring or whatever...Raman tried to even instigate her for a fight but nothing worked.
He was thinking hard about what he did to piss her off...but reached to no conclusion. He decided to get to the bottom of this. He told ruhi not to go to iyer house today. He told ruhi to see whether ishu will come searching for her, he was sure ishu will. But ruhi was in no mood for any game. She ran happily to iyer house screaming ishima. Raman tried lot of ways, like going and sitting in iyer house when ishu was there, asking her to put balm on his back telling he has backpain, complained to iyers cutely for entertaining his wife a lot to stay there...nothing seems to work. He could feel something was holding back ishu from being herself. Ishu on the other hand was well aware of what raman was trying to do...but she could not back from her promise to adi. She knew she was in deeper shit now, now raman will not b able to handle if adi becomes hostile again. She thought of some way out of this...she was also tired of acting raman does not mean anything for her...She knew she loves him and cannot hide that fact...
Ishu thinks, let raman have a good time with his kids and he will stop thinking about her if she is away...She tells everyone at dining table that she needs to attend a dental workshop in Mumbai for 2 wks and she wish to go. Everyone agrees as she convinces them. Raman is taken aback. He tells her she cant go, she argues but raman does not budge. He tells her ruhi will not live without her when she informs she got ruhi's permission. This angers raman and he shouts at her in front of everyone for being selfish. All are confused at what happened to raman.
Raman realises then that only ruhi can influence ishu. Raman tries to convince ruhi to stop ishu and ruhi also starts to get upset for living without her ishima. Raman hated himself for involving ruhi in this, but he didn't have a choice...Ruhi runs to iyer house to tell ishu that she changed her mind about letting ishu go...ishu is confused and overwhelmed by her love and tears...Raman watches them from outside...Ishu is in two mind now and while convincing ruhi somehow raman gets an idea she is doing all this for adi-raman. Raman is shocked...and angry at ishu for even thinking of going away from him, even if it is for his son ...
Raman now thinks to himself...how dare u ishu, now u see what i can do...JKR!!! you think only u can love others unconditionally...now i will show u what is love ...in typical RKB style...
