" Raman..aap kahan hain? Jahan bhi hain..abhi ghar aaiye..within half an hour!"
And again before he could say anything she disconnects the call.
Arrey..bina kuch sune hi phone rakh diya..
Did she just hang up on me? Kuch hua toh nahi..nahi..hua hota toh ishita ne bata diya hota..
Waise accha hai..ghar jaake usko sab bata doonga..
He heads home and finds her sitting restlessly on the sofa. He also notices that no one is at home.
R: uhh..ishita..sab log kahan hai?
I: aa gaye aap raman..itni jaldi? I thought aaram se aayenge..mere bulane ke baad bhi..
Sab log amma ke yahan hai..mihir mihika ki shaadi ki date fix karne panditji aaye hai.
R: toh tum yahan kyun baithi ho? Aur tumne mujhe itni jaldi kyun bulaya?
I: oh yeah..aapka bahot time waste karr diya na maine? Office mein bahot kaam hoga na Raman?
He notices her sarcastic tone even though it's been a long time
since she seriously used that tone with him. He knows for sure something is wrong.
Isko kya ho gaya hai suddenly?
R: ishita..baat ko gol matt ghumao yaar..batao kyun bulaya..yeh fizool ki baatein karne ke liye mere paas time nahi hai..office ka important kaam chodke aaya hoon yahan.
I: main bhi koi free nahi baithi hoon raman aapse baat karne ke liye..aaj subah jab maine aapko phone kiya tha tab aap kahan the?
R: maine kaha toh tha na tumhe..busy tha main..office
mein..kyun? Ab jaasoosi karni hai meri?
I: aap jhoot bol rahe hai..
Isko kaise pata chala?
R: main tumse jhoot kyun..
I: aap shagun ke saath the..kal raat bhi aap subramaniyam se nahi..shagun se baat karr rahe the..ho kya raha hai..
He's dumbfounded.
Isko kaise pata chala yaar? Ab kya batau isko?
R: wohh..ishitaa..
I: woh woh kya? Aapne mujhse jhoot kyun kaha? Aur kis baat mein aap Shagun ka saath dey
rahe hai?
R: ishitaa..main tumhe batane ki wala tha..
I: kab? Mujhe sab sach pata chal jaane ke baad? Mujhe pata hai Raman ki amma ka accident Shagun ne kiya tha..aur iss baat ko chupane mein aapne uski madad ki..adi ke liye..mujhse jhoot kyun kaha Raman?
R: ishita..main..tumhe batane hi wala tha aaaj..woh.
I: aaj maine aapko yahan bulaya hai Raman..
R: Ishita..yeh sab maine adi ke liye kiya..woh shagun ke bina
nahi reh sakta..aur jab woh roh raha tha..main..
He narrates the happenings of that day in detail to her.
R: main tumse nahi chupana chahta tha..lekin Shagun..usko laga tum nahi samjhogi..maine use..
I: aap kabse uska opinion believe karne lage Raman? Bewakoof bana chuki woh aapko!
R: what do you mean?
She narrates how she came to know about it all.
I: main aaj mall mein Ruhi ke liye shopping karne gayi thi. Wahan
mujhe ek friend mila aur main uske saath coffee shop mein baithi thi. Param mere peeche wale table pe baitha tha aur maine usko notice nahi kiya tha..jab takk I didn't hear him talk to Ashok on the phone laughing about how Shagun had manipulated you into protecting her stating Adi as the reason. He even quoted her words "Adi ke saamne Raman ke liye koi kuch nahi hai. Ab uss ishita ko pata chalega Raman kisse pyaar karta hai. Rehta hoga woh uss behenji aur Ruhi ke saath, par uski jaan
sirf Adi aur mujhmein basti hai." She had planned to use this to create a rift between us in the future. Isiliye usne aapko mujhe kuch bhi batane se mana kiya tha.
Tears roll down her eyes as she explains all this to him, rage fills him instead. He wants to go and kill that characterless woman but his rational mind tells him that he needs to be with his wife, she's his first priority at the moment.
R: ishita maine yeh sab sirf adi ke liye kiya..main shagun se..
I: main jaanti hoon Raman..aapne yeh sab adi ke liye kiya..aur
mujhe usse koi problem nahi hai..adi aapka beta hai. Aap usse behad pyaar karte ho..par kya Ruhi aur main aapke liye kuch nahi hai? Uss din aapne meri bacchi ko itni zor se daanta..ab mujhe samajh me aa raha hai kyun..aur aapko mujhpe itna bhi bharosa nahi hai? Ya aapne mujhe yeh sab batana zaroori nahi samjha?
Dekhiye main samajhti hoon aap adi se bahot pyaar karte hai..shayad sabse zyada..aur shagun bhi aapki zindagi ka ek bahot bada hissa hai..
He tries to interrupt her but she doesn't let him.
I: no use of denying it Raman please, I've accepted it. I'm not disappointed about the fact that you're still hung up over her, and maybe you still love her. I'm only hurt you couldn't trust me enough to tell me the truth. Any which way, none of that matters..all I'm saying is..as much as you love Adi and Shagun and I completely understand that, get one thing straight into your head, I will not tolerate it if you hurt Ruhi
because of anybody and even if that anybody is Adi I don't care. My daughter is very innocent and it is not fair of you to hurt her for no fault of her's. Jab maine aapse shaadi ki thi..usi din maine decide karr liya tha ki main kisi ko bhi Ruhi ko hurt karne nahi doongi..aapko bhi nahi..! Waise bhi hamesha se aapne usko hurt hi kiya hai..bachpan se custody case takk aapne usko kabhi pyaar se gale lagaya hai? Aur ab bhi woh aapse itna pyaar karti hai..aapne usko apna personal punching bag samajh ke rakha
hai kya? Hamesha jab bhi adi pe baat banti hai aap saara frustration Ruhi pe nikalte ho. I completely understand that you love Adi more than anything but is it really fair to Ruhi?
And I'm sorry to say that aapke isi behaviour ke wajah se aaj adi itna bigad gaya hai ki use aapko respect karna bhi nahi aata. Par Ruhi aapse bahot pyaar karti hai..toh agar use pyaar nahi dey sakte toh usko hurt bhi matt kijiye aap. And that is a warning Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla, one more time you hurt her and I will
not tolerate it.
She sobers down and he's looking at her, guilty
I: Kahin aisa na ho Raman, adi ka pyaar paane ke chakkar mein aap Ruhi ko bhi kho do! Abhi toh woh choti hai, par jaise jaise woh badi hogi, usse bhi yeh dikhai dene lagega. Woh hone se pehle aap apne aap ko sudhaar lo.
He's about to apologise to her for everything but before he could voice anything, his mother noisily barges into the house.
T: oyye Ishita puttar..tu ab bhi yahan hai..
She notices Raman.
T: raman..tu jaldi aa gaya? Accha chalo tum dono wahan..mihir mihika ki shaadi ek hafte me hone wali hai..bahot taiyyariyaan karni hai..chal ishita!
I: ji mummyji chaliye..
T: raman puttar tu bhi jaldi aa jaa fresh hoke..
R: haan maa..
ishita..2 minute ruko naa..mere kapde...
He tries to stop her.
T: oyye Raman..tu khud karr le na..shaadi ki kinni taiyyariyaan bachi hai tennu pata hai..iss sab
ke liye waqt nahi hai..chal ishita!
Despite his mother's words, his eyes plead her to wait. She ignores him.
I: chaliye mummyji..
