Sigh ... ..Aani 🤗, If this is how you plan to come back after facing a writer's block, I wish you have it every now and then 😳😳... LOL, kidding ...Hey Bhanu thanks 🤗 🤗 and LOL at the wish 😆What should I write. I am short of words. speechless will be my perfect state. You have this knack of transporting the reader to an entirely different world.☺️Things have worked out in his favor, everything restored to its status quo but still something that he is missing, something that he cannot yet put a finger on.@BOLD: Brilliant girl. This line actually sums up the present situation of Raman perfectly. Not only your OS vaala Raman, but Raman in YHM in general these days. While he is sure, he can do anything for Ishita, he is not sure what is making him do all that ?His introspection of his own feelings, his changing dynamics towards his wife are acting as a food for thought for him.You know in bits and pieces that is what he is doing like the day he was jealous about Subu and asked why should I bother if she still loves him and while he may try to not give a damn the thing wouldn't leave his mind and until and unless he had asked her is she happy and heard it from herHowever, this feels a first to him.
Being the eldest son, he learned to look out for his siblings. His parents inculcated the protective elder brother mode in him ever since he can remember. Be it ensuring he holds Simi' hands as they walked to and from school to looking after Romi and Rinki later on.
His mother had always asked his siblings to obey and follow him while he learned to be careful of them, as time went on that became his de facto mode. Mihir and Neil too came under his wing too.
He realizes he never had this... someone looking out for him, someone protecting him. It has always been his duty and not the other way around. It would rattle a lesser man to accept his wife became his rescuer but all he feels is warmth in this moment.He never knew it could feel so good to have someone watching his back, looking out for him.
To be cared for, he muses, is a wonderful feeling as he looks at her radiant face across him with a smile on his face.
@BOLD: 👏👏👏I have to tell you something. We are two sisters and am the elder one. I lost my mom when I was 18. Life automatically made me the mother figure to my little sister.Life taught me hard way to take decisions on my own. My Dad was always there for support but I somehow had become this person who was capable of taking day to day decisions independently as I had to manage home alone many a times.It was barely a fortnight into my marriage; I was cooking in the kitchen with my mother in law when suddenly the tube light gave way. My mind automatically started thinking where will I buy the new one from, I am new to this area, what if there is a problem, I may need to find an electrician and so on and so forth.On the other hand, my mom in law simply informed my dad in law and my husband and she instructed me to come out of the kitchen. She said, lets wait until its fixed. Then we will resume the cooking.The tube light was replaced in sometime and we resumed our work as if nothing ever happened.This may seem as a very stupid inference to anyone else but believe me it was one life changing moment for me. I was so used to dealing with each and every stupid problem in the world all alone forever that inspite of me being married, I never realized that I now have someone who will take care of me, someone who will be there for me, even for the smallest of problems in my life.I had never felt better or relieved. As you know, I have a love marriage, but that moment, gave me real solace because it felt so good after so many years to be actually cared for, about at least something in life. Like Raman, it was always my duty, my responsibility, I was the protector to my little sis (that I still am, inspite of the fact that both of us are on the wrong side of 30 now 😆😆. She will my first kid forever.) And it felt wonderful to be cared, loved and carefree for the first time.Bhanu I totally relate to being the eldest born as I myself am one, I have a younger bro and while by god' grace both my parents are fine, my dad does suffer from heart ailment and high BP... I remember him getting really sick when I was in my teens and my mum actually got really scared and being in a nuclear family setup there was no way to fall back on the reliance of other elders in a moment of crisis and I had stepped up since mum was way too panicked to react or take charge, and since these issues are not a once in a lifetime thing ever since in crisis I have managed to be the one who does the running around... this bit of your personal history - thank you so much for sharing it with me. Really it means a lot to me - sometimes it amazes me how many friends I have made via IF so many people, their life and stories that I came across cos of fictional characters. I so understand the thing about relief that you said cos once the panic subsides thats how I feelComing back to the actual OS. Aani, pretty please, I will personally bribe Ekta to make you the creative. How can you do that gal? You have written the next part so beautifully that no one can surpass it.LOL I have no idea I dont think I even have it in me to be a CV 😳The conversation on the balcony, the way Raman honestly expresses his surprise rather than an immediate Thank you. More beautifully, the simplicity with which Ishita answers him. She puts the entire changing dynamics in simple sentences which simply state, I care because you do too.I am a sucker for convos but hate melodrama or being OTT so tried to keep it as grounded and real as possible and thank you for saying that you could see the changing dynamics without the hysterics 😳It reminds of a scene from an old movie "Khatta Meetha". In it Ashok Kumar is one normal middle class old man who has never even killed an aunt but when his son is in trouble, he goes to a big businessman and warns him that he has never even touched an ant but if he tries to mess up with his son and his family's life, he will strangle him and kill him. Then he simply thanks that man and leaves. Something very similar to Ishita who can be as cool as a cucumber but can be a piece of hot charcoal in case someone tries to even touch her family.Aww I love that movie and know the scene you mean Pradeep Kumar threatened by a mild as a mouse Ashok Kumar 😊 such a slice of life movieFinally, the last part, ☺️☺️.I am definitely bribing Ekta now or may be someone to kidnap you and force you to become the CV .LMAO are you not my friend Haw you would have me kidnapped 😲 😆Could it get any hotter?Like I said in your other post, I surely want the hug to happen but definitely want it to be special and need some reason behind it. It couldn't get better. Your situation, timing everything is so apt. Even the kiss. I can imagine YHM Raman responding in this way.Raman was definitely overwhelmed by the enormity of her words and finally he is able to find the missing piece of puzzle, and yet again his wife helps him do that.I think once he gets there RKB would be a force to reckon with 😉😆I will like to quote an excerpt from the movie Jerry Maguire. This is towards the end when Jerry tries to woo his wife back, "Our little company had a good night tonight. A really big night. But it wasn't complete, it wasn't nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't share it with you. I couldn't hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife. You complete me."Aww I love that scene - you had me at helloI guess this is what Raman felt at the particular moment. He has finally found peace and felt completed.As always, brilliant post gal. 🤗Thanks Bhanu 🤗
