on..
I: aapko Ruhi ki tension lene ki zaroorat nahi hai..use main samjha doongi..I'm sure woh samajh jaegi..aur jahaan tak uski custody ka sawaal hai..woh bhi aapko mil jaegi..I'll make sure Ruhi says she wants to stay with you..main uski 'ishita aunty' rahu ya ishimaa..mera pyaar toh uske liye kam nahi hoga..
Just let me know when you want the divor..
He cuts her off..
R: chupp..ekdam chup..you dare not finish that sentence Ishita!
The rage in his eyes silences her and confuses her the same.
R: itna sab bol chuki ho..mujhe apni baat rakhne ka mauka chahiye..akeli tum nahi ho iss rishte mein jo saare decisions le logi..
But this is not the place...hooliya theek karo apna..we're leaving..aur behes karne ki koshish bhi matt karna..
They leave in their car without informing the hosts..but that's the last thing on Raman's mind. His marriage was suddenly falling to pieces all thanks to his
stupidity- he shouldn't have ever spoken to Shagun more than required- and he was certainly not in the mood to put up a happy face, nor was it physically possible for him.
He doesn't take the turn to their home, she notices.
I: where are you taking me?
He notices that she doesn't ask "where are WE going? " and it irks him!
R: not home! We need to talk and you very well know what privacy we'll get at home. Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you or anything.
I am still your husband, itni tension lene ki zaroorat nahi hai.
She stays silent at that and that annoys him again. He feels rejected.
She doesn't even want to acknowledge the fact that I'm her husband? But I still am, and I'm not going to let her change that fact, not now , not ever!
He stops the car and gets down. She follows him as he leads her towards a meadow. It's beautiful but she's not here to appreciate it's beauty. She's here to end an argument that might just end her
marriage to the man who's leading her. She can't help the tear that falls off. She knows she's fallen for him and this will break her heart.
He stops and turns around, that's when she notices they're far enough that no one will hear them.
I: Raman aap..
R: maine kya kaha tha ishita? It's my turn to talk. You will let me speak my end as i let you.
She stays silent, waiting for him to continue.
R: tumhe jawaab chahiye na
ishita? Maine tumse shaadi kyun ki..Ruhi ke liye..aur koi jawaab nahi hai..haan aaj tum mere liye Ruhi ki maa se zyada ho..meri biwi ho..mera py...
He doesn't finish that and moves on.
R: jahaan takk hum dono ke rishte ki baat hai..aur woh sab jo family ke saamne aaya uss raat..tum mere ek sawaal ka jawab pehle do..
maine mumbai se tumhe uss raat call kiya tha naa..jiss raat param ne pehli baar line openly cross ki thi..
Uss raat maine tumhari awaaz me kuch alag mehsoos kiya tha..tumse poocha tha..ki kuch naya hua hai kya..tumne kya kaha tha yaad hai?
Uske bawajood maine mihir ko bheja tha doosre din find out karne ke liye..
Tum chahti toh uss raat mujhe phone pe sab sach sach bata deti..
uske baad tumhe sarika ne bataya param ka sach..aur tum use le gayi police station? Akele? mujhe ek baar call karke batana bhi zaroori nahi samjha..police
station tha woh..dawaiyyon ki dukaan nahi jo muh utha ke chali gayi bina bataye..
Theek hai...uske baad..tum jail mein thi..tab..tumne kisko call kiya? Bala ko..who's your husband again? (He points his thumb towards himself)
R: theek hai maana ki hum dono ke beech comfort kam tha..par main tab bhi tumhara PATI tha ishita..
Aur uske baad..jail ke bahar..maine phir tumse poocha..tumne kaise jawaab diya yaad hai?
Drama queen banne ka shauk tumhe hai toh usme meri kya galti? Mindreader hoon main? Jo mujhe pata chalta tum kaunsa bomb phodne wali ho ghar jaake?
Uske baad jab woh smses maine dekhe toh pata hai mujhe kitna bada shock laga? FYI main bata doon ki maine unn smses pe bhi yakeen nahi kiya tha..maine tumse jab woh sawaal pucha..mera matlab tumhe accuse karne ka nahi tha..I genuinely wanted to know how he knew that intimate of a detail about us to make such a big
plan..woh hadbadahat me maine realise hi nahi kiya maine kya kaha tha jab tak maine tumhara aur baaki sabka chehra nahi dekha..
But look at this from my side..I leave my wife alone for 2 days and all this takes place...on top of that my wife decides to inform me only in front of the whole freakin family that my BIL tried to molest her..
Arrey tumhara pati hoon main..mera pehle jaanne ka haq nahi tha?
Do na jawaab ishita? Nahi hai na
jawaab?
Maanta hoon mujhse galti hui..but situation ko samjho tum..tumne khud complicate kiya sab kuch! Mujhe pehle bata deti toh nhi hota yeh sab..
Mumbai chodke main sabse pehle Dilli aata..conference gayi bhad me..meri biwi ki safety se zyada important koi deal nahi..
She doesn't know how to respond to him. Now that she sees it from his end she gets his point.
R: aur aaj shagun ke saath jo bhi tha sab ulta samjha tumne..mera
matlab tha ki main pehli baar phir se kabhi pita nahi bann sakta..pehli baar sirf ek baar hota hai ishita..aur main kuch bhi karoon..main apne past ko mita nahi sakta..adi mera baccha hai..usse pyaar karta hoon main!
Agar tum mujhe aur bacche dey bhi sakti toh bhi mere liye adi ki jagah nahi badalti..jaise ruhi ki nahi badlegi!
Haan shagun ne mere bacchon ko paida kiya..adi ki maa hai woh..parr kya main adi ka pita hoon? Woh nahi maanta..shagun ne usko aise brainwash kiya ki
usne court me jhoot kaha..yeh kaha ki maine use peeta tha..
Par ruhi ka pita hoon main...tumhari wajah se!
Aur jahaan takk shagun ki baat hai..woh sirf aditya ki maa hai..that's it! Meri biwi tum ho..aur Ruhi ki maa bhi..aayi baat samajh mein?
Ishita is simply looking downwards.
R: bolo na? Waitt..tum phir bacchon wali baat pe aake atak gayi ho? Mujhe aur bacche nahi chahiye baba! Do bacche hai mere..aur ek baat..Ruhi tumhari
beti hai ishu..sirf tum hi uski maa ho..woh tumhare saath khush hai..aur main bhi!
I: I'm sorry Raman..maine aapko bahot galat samjhaa..main..yeh sab..aapko bahot bura laga hoga..I'm..
R: ishuuu...idhar aao!
She holds his outstretched hand and he pulls her into an unexpected hug.
she doesn't protest though. Just simply hugs him back!
R: tumse ek aur baat kehni thi..lekin..pata nahi sahi waqt hai ya nahi..
I: sahi baat ke liye koi sahi waqt nahi hota Raman..kahiye na..
R: main..main yeh kehna chahta hoon ki..see I know we married for Ruhi but can we give this marriage a real chance?
He's surprised her yet again, this time pleasantly!
I: yes, I guess I was waiting for you to say it.
R: Toh phir divorce wali baat?
I: galti ho gayi na baba..sorry!
R: aisi galti phir kabhi matt karna..tumhare pea sized dimag me yeh baat ghusa do ki mere dil mein sirf tum hi ho! Aur yeh roz
roz ka Shagun Shagun wala drama band karo yaar!
I: woh harr jagah aa jaati hai Raman! Thak gayi hoon main uska chehra dekh dekh ke.
R: I know! but kya kare..she always tries to get a rise out of me..even when I blatantly ignore her..aaj hi ki baat le lo..itna ignore kiya maine usko..par nahi..drama khatm nahi hota naa..
I: toh matt kijiye ignore.
R: tum phir sarcastic ho rahi ho..
I: nahi Raman. agar woh sirf aapke liye adi ki maa hai toh woh
izzat deserve karti hai..aapke taunts nahi..biwi nahi hai woh aapki jo aap usko haq se sunate ho..
R: kya ho tum? Matlab sach me bata hi do..kya ho tum? Kaisi ho yaar..woh aurat tumhe insult karne ka ek mauka nahi chodti aur tum chahti ho ki main usse izzat se baat karu? You amaze me Mrs. Ishita Raman Bhalla!
I: I'm glad I do!
R: bass bass aur phoolo matt khushi sey..warna phat jaogi..aur aaj toh tumne koi nahi phal ya sabzi bhi nahi pehni hai..
I: huh! raavan kumar..kabhi toh tareef karr liya karo meri!
R: itni taareef bahot hai tumhare liye..dekho kitni tandurust ho gayi ho..aur phool gayi toh..!
Anyway chalo ab..bhookh nahi lagi tumhe?
I: haan lagi hai..aapko?
R: lagi toh thi..par meri biwi ki shikayatein sunkar pet bhar gaya!
I: aww sho sad! Aap itna naraaz karte ho apni biwi ko?
R: naah..ab mujhe dekho? Kya kami hai mujhme? Hot hoon na? Toh obviously ladkiyaan diwani hai meri..jalan hoti hai usse..toh
shuru ho jaati hai..it's all pent up sexual frustration you know?
He winks at her! Ishita just looks at him, surprised at his direct approach. This man was so direct and on top of that he winks at her!
R: oh madam? Ab chalne ka kasht karogi? Bhookh lagi hai na...
I: hum kahan jaa rahe hai? Restaurant?
R: time dekha hai? Raat ke dhaai bajj rahe hai. Restaurant tumhare pati ka nahi hai jo din raat
tumhari seva mein haazir hoga.
I: toh phir kahan? Ghar?
R: nahi..gaadi me khaana hai..chalo!
They go to the car and he gets out the food that he'd packed.
I: mera favourite pasta! Wow! Par yeh sab aapne pack kyun kiya tha?
R: main antaryaami hoon..mujhe pehle se pata tha hum yahan aane wale hai!
I: Ramannn..batao naa!
R: maine tumhe yahan leke aane ka plan banaya tha..to speak to you about our marriage and the
real chance I wanted to give it..socha tha thoda memorable banaunga iss din ko..par tum toh tum ho..jhaansi ki raani..mere harr plan ki band bajane ki thaan li hai tumne na!
He gives her an irritated look.
I: I'm sorry Raman! Meri galti!
She hugs him, which was unexpected. Yes, they were going to give this relationship aa real chance but he hadn't expected her to be this touchy feely with him, not that it was not welcome though! He hugs her back tightly!
R: ishu..yeh..tumhare liye!
He gets the box out of his pocket and into her hand while they're still hugging! She breaks the hug (but doesn't move away from him) and looks at it. It's small and looks like there's some small piece of jewelry in it. She notices that the box is blue and green in colour and she knows it's not just a coincidence.
She opens it to find the prettiest ring. One single diamond with a series of small emeralds and blue sapphires alternately placed around it. It looks just perfect! She looks into his eyes and
cannot express how much she loves his thoughtfulness.
I: ramann..it's sooo prettyy!!
R: maine engagement pe tumhe ek proper ring nahi di thi..tab yeh rishta sirf ek samjhauta tha and I never bothered about it..par aaj socha..as we give this another chance..the ring has to be about us..maine design kiya hai isko! Pasand aayi na?
I: bahott..ekdam perfect hai..
He takes it out of the box and shows the inner side of the ring to her!
R: padho.
I: "We're not perfect but our love is!"
She has this huge smile on her face, her eyes shining brightly with tears.
I: I love you so much Raman!! this is perfect! !
R: not yet!
He moves away from her and her face falls until she sees him kneeling down.
OHH MY GODDD!! He's going to propose?!
Her eyes widen and she's completely shocked!
I: Ramann?
R: shhh!
This started off all wrong Ishu, but I can't thank you enough for stepping into my life. You're my sunshine meri jhaansi ki raani..tumhe taunt kiye bagair ek din bhi jee nahi sakta main..tum mere din ki highlight bann gayi ho..you're always at the back of my mind wherever I am..aur ab main poori zindagi tumhare lectures sunte aur tumhe taane maarte guzaarna chahta hoon..toh jhaansi ki raani..will you be mine? For real this time?
Say yes say yes say yess..come
on ishu...!
She can't stop smiling!
I: yes!! Raavan kumar..I'll be your's and your's only..forever!
He gets up and hugs her..
R: shittt ishitaa..ring pehnaana toh bhool hi gaya!
She laughs at that!
I: toh kya hua raavan kumarr.."we're not perfect but our love is" remember? Ab pehna deejiye!
She gives him her left hand and he slides the ring in place and kisses it!
R: together we're perfect!
