Part 8
Before ishita could enter the lift, raman held her hand pulling her towards him.
He took her face in his hands when her eyes fell on the watch gifted by shagun. He understood it and took his hands off her as he noticed a gift in her hands.
He asked her in gentle tone "tum yahan achanak? Aur ye gift? Mere liye hai?"
She nods into an yes sadly. He gets excited and takes the gift as he reads the label "To my ravan Kumar, With Love, your Jhansi ki Rani". He smiles at that and opens the gift to find a beautiful watch with their initials engraved in diamond inside at the centre of the dial.
He looks at her and says "I loved it. Mujhe pehnaogi nahi?"
Ishita feels a little happy that he liked it but then her eyes stare at shagun's gifted watch on his hand.
Raman understands it and instantly removes the watch and gives it to shagun who was standing just few meters away from them.
Ishita looks on in awe at her husband when he extends his hand towards ishita telling her "ishita, mujhe ye watch tum apne haathon se pehnao. Aakhir tumhara gift hai ye mere liye."
Ishita makes raman wear the watch as shagun gets angry looking at them.
He kisses the watch and says "I'll always keep this watch with me. It'll make me feel that you are with me always ishita!"
Ishita blushes and says "main waise bhi humesha aapke saath hu Raman."
Raman and ishita share an intense eyelock as shagun gets irritated and leaves from there throwing the watch on the floor.
Raman asks ishita what's she doing at his office. She apologises to him for ruining his plan to spend time with her once again.
He consoles her saying they'll go some other day. She asks him out when he asks amusingly "abhi? Lekin ab to tickets bhi nahi hai.i gave to mihir and I cancelled the table also in five star where I booked for our lunch!"
Ishita smiles to cheer him up saying "toh kya hua? Point is to spend time together na. Chahe wo five star ho ya koi dhaba! chahe fir multiplex me movie ho ya khulle aasmaan ke niche kudrat ko nihaarna ho, Right?"
Raman looks at her in awe wondering what's she upto.
Ishita slips her arm into his and takes him away. He walks towards his car when she stops him and says "aaj main drive karungi!" She helds out her hand asking for his car keys.
He looks at her a little amused as he gives her the keys saying "aaj maar daalne ka iraada hai kya? Mere car pe ek kharoch bhi aaya to tumhe chodunga nahi."
She makes cute face at him replying "main bhi yahin chahti hu."she winks at him. He smiles shaking his head and muttering to himself "uff ye madrasan! Isse toh gussa bhi nahi karsakta!"
She drives the car to a local popular dhaba. They both start to have their lunch when raman asks her "ishita, jo tumne mere cabin me dekha...I mean shagun aur main..." his sentence remains incomplete as ishita puts her finger on his lips and says "I know ki aap ne kuch galat nahi kiya. I know ki shagun ne zabardasti aapko wo gift diya. Maine sab sunliya tha raman jab wo aapko adi ke naam pe gift de rahi thi."
Raman is surprized and asks "fir tum wahan se chali kyun gayi thi? Aur maine tumhare aankhon me aansu bhi dekhe the. Mujhe laga tumhe misunderstanding hogyi mujhe shagun ke saath dekhke!"
Ishita replies "nahi raman, mujhe koi misunderstanding nahi hui thi. Aur agar main shagun ki baatein nahi sunti tab bhi mujhe koi shaq nahi hota aap pe. Because I know you're mine."
Raman smiles intantly on hearing this. She then says "wo main sad isliye thi ki maine dekha aapki aankhon me apne bete ke liye dard. I knew shagun was lying and adi has not yet even spoken properly to you toh ye gift dena to door ki baat hai. Mujhse aapka dard nahi dekha gaya aur main aapke liye kuch kar bhi nahi sakti iss baat se main aur bura feel kar rahi thi apne aap se."
Raman takes her face in his hands and says "pagal! Aise fir kabhi mat karna! Haan I miss adi and I yearn for his love, lekin tum meri biwi ho ishita. I want to make this clear to you that as much as I love my kids- adi and ruhi, usse zyaada main tumse pyaar karta hu. And I need you beside me in my every moment of life. Tum meri strength ho ishita. Tum agar mere saath ho to main har gham khushi se jhel lunga."
Ishita felt happy as they both hugged each other. They had their lunch and then spent some time in a park, sitting beneath a tree, talking to each other-sharing their childhood memories and general thoughts.
In the evening, Ishita took Raman to a roadside tea stall where she poured the hot tea into the saucer and asked him to drink from the saucer.
Raman though hesitated at the weird way of drinking tea, agreed seeing ishita enjoying it. They both drank tea from the same saucer while making slurping sounds and then laughing at the same.
As ishita was enjoying it and laughing her her heart out, Raman was staring at her with love and couldn't help but remember his past when one day raman took shagun out for shopping and then stopped at a similar roadside tea stall.
He could still remember her words when she insulted him for bringing her to a cheap roadside tea stall instead of taking her to a cafe or a classy hotel.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when ishita tapped his shoulder calling out his name.
Raman smiled at ishita when she asked "kya hua raman? Aapko acha nahi laga?"
He replied looking deeply into her eyes "this has been one of the most happiest day of my life ishita."
Ishita smiled back at him when it suddenly started raining and Raman started running towards the car.
He turned to see ishita standing in the middle of the road with her arms wide open as if she's welcoming the rain to embrace her.
He called her name repeatedly asking her to come with him but she didn't react.
It started pouring heavily as ishita closed her eyes and felt the rain drops falling on her skin. She started jumping gleefully on the water puddles formed as he looked on at her with awe.
He smiled to himself thinking - ekdum bachchi hai! Baarish me bheegte hue, khelte hue kitni masoom lag rahi hai ishita!
Ishita gestures him to come with her as he taunts her "areh yahin beech road pe khadi rahogi kya bheegte hue? Agar kisi gaadi ne tok diya to mujhe mat bolna ki warn nahi kiya!"
Ishita walks to him and says "kitne khadoos ho aap ravan kumar! Iss baarish ko enjoy karna seekho. Kitna romantic sa weather hai!"
Just then a sudden rumbling thunder growled upon scaring Ishita as she closed her eyes and hugged Raman tightly as he smiles and hugs back saying "sach me romantic hai!...I mean weather!"
They break their hug with Ishita blushing on seeing raman staring into her eyes passionately.
He gently cups her face, bringing it closer to him while she closes her eyes in nervousness.
He almost kisses on her lips when he could feel her nervousness and hence he moves away and instead plants a kiss on her forhead. She opens her eyes and looks at him amusedly when he smiles "I'll never force you to do something you're not ready for ishita. Aur fir, tum to meri ho...puri zindagi padi hai pyaar karne ke liye." He winks at her.
She feels proud to have an understanding husband like raman. She looks at him with new found respect when he says "ab tumhara baarish me nahaana khatam hogaya ho to chalein?"
she nods in agreement as they sit in the car and drive to their home.
