Last Part
Next Morning
Raman got up a little late and hurried up to his meeting.
Ishita too woke up and went to her clinic after doing household works.
While Ishita was in her way she recieved a text
Raman : Running late for meeting, Bye c you today
Ishita : Waiting eagerly :)
Raman : Hmmm. . Mee too. Hope it's not a long day
IShita : Hahaha It is :(
Raman : okay so bye and yeah Good Morning. Have a nice day
Ishita : Same to u . . Miss you loads
Raman : me too :)
Later in the afternoon, Ishia informed Saarika that she has to go early today as Raman will be back so all her appointments should be handed to Dr.Batra.
Ishita was at home at 6pm and returned to see her family watching TV together, she was surprised to see the Iyer's their too with Bala and Vandu. Even Mihir was sitting in the dining table busy discussing some business matters with Romi and Mihika was busy on texting someone.
She came inside and greeted everyone and asked them if there is any occassion to which Toshi jee replied that she invited all of them to have Dinner today together and as Bala and Vandu came to meet Iyer's, they too were invited.
It is then Mrs. Iyer chirped in that she too wanted to meet Raman when he is back so they all are waiting for him.
Ishita excused herself from there went to the washroom got freshened up and came out to look at her phone but, there was no call nothing from Raman's side.
Dejectedly and missing his beyond words she moved to the kitchen and thought to prepare everything Raman likes, specially Palak Paneer.
She was done preparing dinner when her phone rang in the bathroom.
Toshijee : Oye Ruhi jaa dekh who is callling Ishima ?
Ishita immediately responded : No need Ruhi, maybe from clinic let me just see
and with that she literally ran towards her room knowing who will call her and as expected it was her Ravaan Kumar
Ishita quickly picked up : Hey
Raman : Where were u ? I am calling you and you don't care to recieve. U r not a Doctor so don;t pretend to be extra busy just showing me off. Y can't u just..
Ishita cuts him : Oh My God!! Raman just breathe, you call me lecturer and look at you. I picked up your call without missing it once and here you are giving me lectures as if I picked up after 15-20 missed calls. Comeon Raman I was in kitchen preparing food for you and all here. Mummyjee invited everyone and even Amma is excited to meet you
Raman : Really ?? They are waiting for me??
Ishita : Ofcors, Even Bala jiju and Vandu akka has come over and Mihir too.
Raman : Oh shit
Ishita [worried] : What happened?
Raman : ishita actually meeting got postponed again and I am afraid I can't return home today.
Ishita [was really upset but decided not to show] : It's okay Raman, I will make everyone understand. You concentrate on the meeting okay
Raman was smiling, he knew Ishita was the only person who will be most effected by this but she instead of shouting at him to not inform before and all was here trying to make him relax, if only she knew he was already outside of the door of Bhalla House.
Raman said her goodnight and disconnected the phone and rang the bell.
While Ishita was really sad she didn't even pay attention to the bell she had tears in her eyes thinking about again anight without Raman. Suddenly, she heard lots of hustle bustle and went to the living room and was shocked seeing Raman standing there and laughing at some comment Mihika paased, she noticed a slight blush too and knew that the comment was definitely about her.
She walked towards him.
Raman's eyes were searching for Ishita only from the time he entered the house. Bust as soon as he saw her coming he made it appear that he didn't noticed her and was busy talking to others. When he could feel Ishita coming towards him, he made a point to play with her by not letting her know how he actually felt seeing her after a long time. It meant as if he got his life back. These two families, His wife and daughter were his real world.
When Ishita stood beside him and said
Ishita : Hi
Raman : Hey [looking at his family]
Ishita : You said you were in meeting ?
Raman : Though to tease you. Socha you will be ready with your sword to kill me Jhansi ki Rani but you seemed too happy that I wasn't returning.
And with that he walked away
Ishita stood there confused. Whatever he said was a joke and she kenw it, but she thought after whatever talks they had in phone during this trip has atleast changed their equation this much that he would have said her 'I missed you' or something like he was happy to be back home but then she dismissed away that maybe they were at the same place or maybe she was overthinking about their equation and all.
Her chain of thoughts were broken when she heard Toshijee saying everyone to have dinner.
She walked towards the dining area and served everyone. All praised Ishu's cooking while she waited for only one person to speak who seemed to be too busy to talk with their Daughter and didn't even praise her nor did look at her. She silently went towards the kitchen and started cleaning it up oblivious to the fact that someone was watching her with the corneer of his eyes enjoying his games on her.
After dinner Raman asked everyone to stay a while and handed gifts to everyone.
Ishita was smiling broadly seeing everyone praising Raman. And Raman was so touched by this lady. She didn't had a cringe of hurt that he forgot her gift [atleast what she thinks] and moreover she was all smiling because all were praising her. Infact, she seemed more excited than the once recieving the gifts. Raman chuckled seeing her child like behaviour.
Later at night after everyone was finished with their chit chat session all decided to retire their rooms.
Ishita made Ruhi sleep and entered her room, she noticed Raman stood near the window. She took her clothes and went to washroom. After she returned, Raman was still in the same position. She slowly walked towards him confused that whether he was angry on her or was all the phone conversation's a joke and he was going to tease her.
Unable to come to any conclusion she went at stood beside him without speaking a word.
Raman : What happen ?
Ishita : ummm.. nothing. How was meeting?
Raman : Good. What about you?
Ishita : Me ??
Raman : Hmmm Jealous that I didn't get a gift for you?
Ishita : kuch bhi Raman.. I am happy you got each of the family member gifts. Ruhi was so happy.
Raman : But you were more happy then they were
Ishita : You noticed [a little amusement was visible in the tone]
Raman : [Smiling fondly] Y won't I?
Ishita : I thought you were too busy to notice me
Raman : [with seriousness in his voice] I am never so busy Ishita that I will fail to notice you
Ishita felt relieved, she thanked her Muruggan that all were not fake talks he indeed was the same man he was when he had been in Mumbai.
Ishita : Thank God !! You are the same person with whom I talked these days or I was thinking I was a dumb to miss my seminar for a careless person like you [she immidiately bit her lips at her slip of tongue, she thought Raman was indeed right she actually sucked in taunting, she needs to learn more]
Raman was puzzled and his emotions changed into a serious one with anger visible in his eyes when he asked Ishita in a no nonsense tone : What Seminar? Care to explain
Ishita didn't had the courage to lie to him and said him about the seminar which she had been asked to attend.
Raman : And what the hell made you think you shouldn't go there?
Ishita : Woh... Actually... Raman ... You..Ruhi..
Raman : Dammit IShita, Y can't you speak up when necessary. what was it?
Ishita : I didn't wanted to stay away from you Raman. I thought yesterday you wil return and we will go together with Ruhi but your meeting got cancelled and I didn't..
Raman cuts her off by cupping her face and looking into her eyes : [He whispered] You should have told me Ishita. I would have went there directly from Mumbai. But how can I just epect anything from you that requires brain.
Ishita had tears in her eyes and she didn't knew the reason was it because she missed the valuable seminar for her stupidity or was it because she got Raman in her life and once she judged him as the most wrong person in the world.
Raman wiped away Ishita's tears and held her hands and made her walk towards the wardrobe and brought out a packet from there.
Ishita : You bought something for me?
Raman : How can you expect I won't. Comeon, I have bough gift for Muthu too so how can I forget his love [he chuckled at that only to earn a slight smack in his arm]
Ishita opened the packet to find a pretty sky blue frock of knee length size.
she was shy after seeing the dress and looked at Raman.
He smiled and said : I want you to wear this one for me.
Ishita just nodded at that smilingly, when to her suprise he handed her another packet
She was surprised and opened it.
She found a beautiful necklace and her eyes filled with tears. It was a diamond necklace with the letter R in between. It was very beautiful
She looked at him and huffed as if mocking a fake anger : Y should I tie this around my neck when you don't even have a single thing in you marking you as mine. [she turned around blushing when she realised what she just spoke]
Raman made her turn around and asked her to open the next box that was in the packet. She opened the packet and saw another Locket 'I'.
She was shocked. She didn't really expected Raman to get a locket for himself of the letter I. She had tears falling from her eyes.
Raman : Arrey, Madam please save your tears abhi toh picture baaki hai [he winked at her]
Ishita murmered a Thanks by gesturing her eyes towards the I locket.
Raman : BTW, I have my heart marked as yours but I know you being the dumb person won't understand this and hence, the locket.
Ishita smiled and opened the last packet and she was more than shocked. Did just Raman show what he feels about her in that thing??
Ishita confused llooked at Raman
He smiled knowingly and said
Raman : I love you Ishita. I know I can't just explain how much I do. I am really okay if you don't but I can say that this ring is telling everything I feel for you that's love Ishita. You are my love. I haven't given you any engagement ring but now I want to. Ishita I just...
Ishita : Offo Raman, sirf bolte hi rahoge yaa phir
and with that she extended her hands. Raman willing took them in his and slipped the ring on her hand. It looked very pretty on her soft hands. He took her hands and kissed the ring.
Ishita was so delighted. SHe had heard that "Sabar ka fal is always meetha" But she was experiencing this for the first time. Unable to control her tears she hugged Raman tight and Raman simply oblidged and hugged her more tightly.
They stood there for a very long time and then slowly moved away from each other still a little bit shy when Ishita's cell started ringing. It was from Dr. Barta she picked up the call
Ishita : Hello Dr. Batra
Dr : Ishita hey!! Actaully just wanted to inform that the seminar has been postponed it's on day after tomorrow,s o if you can come??
Ishita : Seminar, Day after tomorrow??
She said those words and looked at Raman to seek permission from him when he simply nodded
she said yes to Dr.Batra and was talking about some pateint when she felt Raman hugging her from behind, she quickly disconnected the call not before wishing good night to Dr.Batra.
After disconnecting the call she felt Raman just kissed her cheek and she felt herself burning. She looked at him and he made a face of pure innocence. She laughed at his expressions and pulled him in a hug.
Raman : So you are going day after tomorrow?
Ishita : Not me . . We. Me, you and Ruhi
Raman : But I have pending work
Ishita : Don't you dare say that. i can't leave without you a single day anymore
Raman : Oh really, then what do I get in return?
Ishita : What do you need ?
Raman : Ummm just one thind and with that he pulled her towards the bed, switched off the light and pulled the quilt over both 😆 {Baaki imagine karlo😉]
P.S: I am not at all happy with the outcome, but I got messed up with two three tracks running in my mind and lastly I just wrote whatever I could think at the moment
