SS Raman's Realisation
Part 30
World's Safest Place, Raman's Arms!
In the store room
Ishita had come to the store to keep the decoration material. She was about to leave when she heard footsteps behind her. She wanted to think that they belonged to Raman but the fear that was creeping in her heart opposed to believe so. Her heart could feel Raman's presence and she knew that these footsteps didn't belong to him at all as if waiting for the confirmation the voice spoke, "Kaise hai aap Ishita ji?"
Parmeet? Ishita could feel her legs trembling with fear as her hands got numb.
"Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho" Ishita asked trying not to sound scared and she did not.
"Ab aap kaha jayengi Ishita ji???" Param smiled evilly and bit his bottom lip while Ishita cringed in disgust and loathe for the man in front of her.
"Dekho jaane do tum mujhe!" Ishita screamed.
"Itna chilaye maat na Ishita ji... pechle adhe ghante se aapke peeche hu... ab aayi hai aap mere haath! Loi humme nahi sunn sakta hoga! Ab aap chodiye na ye sab chaliye mere saath..." Param stepped forward to get closer to Ishita while she moved back. He continued to move in her direction as she stepped back with his each proceeding step till she hit the shelf behind her. Before Ishita could be cornered she ran away towards the door however Param was faster he stood between the door and her. Ishita tried to run in an opposite direction when Param rushed to catch hold of her pallu and unfortunately, he succeeded in that. Ishita tried to pull the pallu off his hands with all the force she could muster but because Param applied equal force pallu torn from between giving Ishita an opportunity to escape away from Param.
As Param further moved towards Ishita she threw a candle stand that came in her hand towards him. Unprepared for the sudden attack he couldn't doge the same and it hit his shoulder.
He cursed her as he moved towards her more cunningly this time. Ishita tried to scream out for help from the window but before she could open the window and scream Param pushed her away from the window. Ishita fell and she hurt herself on her elbow. Still not losing the hope she ran towards the door. Unable to bear more struggles Param held her by the same arm that she had hurt and pushed to the nearest wall, "Hell! Tumhe kya lagta hai mein apko jane dunga?"
"Please mujhe jaane do! Please!" Ishita begged as Param held her neck forcefully when she tried to escape pushing her to the wall again.
"Ramannn" Ishita screamed on top of her voice.
"Nahi aayenge saale sahab!" Param laughed evilly.
Outside the room
Raman and family ran towards the door. They were nearing the door when they heard the scream they never wanted to.
"Ramannn" Ishita screamed on top of her voice.
This was followed by Parmeet's laugh.
"Nahi aayenge saale sahab!" Param laughed evilly.
This was as if the world was crashing for Raman his wife was in trouble, he had to save her. Raman was about to bang the door when Mihir stopped him, "We will break open the door, Bhai!"
The two of them tried to break open the door while rest of the family stood horrified. The face that was expressionless was Simmi's. She just couldn't believe she heard Param's laugh and Ishita's scream.
In three attempts they were able to break open the door. Raman stood there on the door horrified to see that Param trying to force himself on Ishita while she was still pushing him. Ishita's saree had blood stains over it. Realising that she had got hurt still she was fighting for her self-respect. Raman lost his cool.
He rushed forward and pushed Parmeet, "How dare you, bustard!"
Ishita's screams were so loud that they hardly realised when the family broke open the door. Seeing Raman there Ishita sighed in relief and lunched herself in the world's safest place, Raman's arms.
Raman hugged her back. He wanted to kill Parmeet hit him but he knew Ishita needs him more so he let his brothers handle him.
Romi and Mihir kept on punching and hitting Param until the police came in and took him away. The scenario was so very clear that they didn't need to wait to question Ishita.
Just as the police was taking Param away Toshiji stepped forward and slapped him, "Tujhe to ab mein chadungi nahi!"
Even Simmi came forward and started hitting on his chest, "Apne aisa kyu kiya? Meine aap par itna bharosa kiya lakin apne..." before Simmi could continue Param spoke, "Tu bewakoof hai! Apne parivaar ke khilaf jaake meri madat karti rahi! Meine nahi kaha tha meri madat kar! Tune kari, teri galti"
"Cha lab bakwass band kar!" The police inspector took him away.
Raman came out with Ishita in his arms, still hugging her caressing her tear strained face. All were happy that they were on time.
"Aiyoo Ishuuu..." Mrs. Iyer came forward to pat Ishita's head.
"I'm Ohk! Amma" Ishita smiled at her mother assuringly.
"Rab da lakh lakh shukar hai tu thik hai puttar!" Toshiji thanked god so did others.
"Kya thik hai wo? Uske haatho se khoon bheh raha hai! Itna darr gayi thi wo! Agar hum thoda aur late ho jate..." Raman spoke angrily but was cut by Ishita, "Nahi hote Raman kyuki mein janti hu ke apke hote hue mere saath kabhi kuch galat nahi ho sakta! Kuch bhi nahi!" The loving voice and eyes of Ishita did calm Raman down he hugged her as if drawing some strength from her while she hugged him back drawing strength from him.
Simmi tried to walk towards Ishita but Toshiji spoke up, "Ye saab tere karan hua hai! Door reh dono se!"
Ishita moved away listening to Toshiji and saw her screaming at Simmi, "Aree mummyji, uski koi galti nahi hai! Wo sabse bahut pyaar kartihai! Usme se sabse zayad apne pati se!"
Raman didn't fail to notice the way Ishita addressed Parmeet. He knew she was controlling her hatred by doing so. He was amazed to see such a bold, strong hearted woman, his wife.
"Lakin puttar..." Mr. Bhalla tried to argue.
"Rehne do papa ye Madrasan manegi nahi aise!" Raman spoke in between. He didn't want to forgive Simmi but was ready to do anything for her wife. He didn't want to hurt her. He knew that Ishita would never like to the reason of the family fights. Respecting and understanding his wife, he continued, "Ishita agar Simmi ko maaf karne ke lie tayaar hai toh hum sab ko bhi maan jaana chahiye!" then he turned to Simmi, "Jaa maaf kiya tujhe! Ab rona dhonna bus kar!"
Everyone noticed the change in tone of Raman as he talked to Simmi. No one failed to notice who the reason was, even Simmi. She was drowned in the guilt of hurting her Ishita and Bhai. Everyone knew that Raman was doing this for Ishita. Mr. and Mrs. Iyer were filled with pride to see the amount of love Raman had for their daughter.
"Chalo Bhabhi ghar chalet hai! Mein doctor ko phone karta hu!" Romi said smiling.
"Nahi koi zaroorat nahi hai! Mein khud ek doctor hu dekh lonngi!" Ishita smiled at him.
"Dentist ho..." Raman retorted.
"Aree mujhe lagi hai aur aap mujhse argue kar rahe ho! Ravan Kumar." Ishita spoke in fake anger.
Everyone was relieved to see this. Though they were just bickering but it conveyed the fact that everything was back to normal.
Raman realising that Ishita was hurt quickly checked her arm for the wound.
Feeling her pain he was a little teary eyed. He quickly bent and picked her up in his arms. Ishita looked around embarrassed and horrified at her husband's audacity. "Raman..."
"Itni lag gayi hai lakin sharmana nahi nikla khoon ke saath!" Raman scolded her as everybody laughed.
All prayed in their heart for the couple that they stayed happy like this always even in pains, as hard as it might be.
"Raman toh dekh he legal akin phir bhi bus mein usse haldi wala dhoodh de du!" Toshiji started moving to the house.
"Chalo hum sab bhi ghar chalet hai! Raman sab dekh le ga! Hum aaram karne chalet hai!" All nodded agreeing with Mr. Iyer. Mrs. Iyer would never have agreed with him if she hadn't seen the love for Ishu in Raman's eyes.
