Part-1:Ishita was standing alone in their room, looking out from the window while her mother-in-law's words replayed on a loop in her mind "Ishita, you've no idea what a grave mistake you've made today by bringing your husband's EX to this house and worser, to your own bedroom! You'll have to pay for this one day!"
Ishita came out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of wardrobe door being opened. She turned to see Raman picking his formal clothes to get ready for the office. He didn't even turn to look at her knowing well of her presence in the room.
Ishita took a few steps towards him saying "Raman! I've already picked your clothes and kept on the bed. You..."
Her sentence remained incomplete as he interrupted her by saying "Thanks, but no thanks! I can do my own work. You've already done a LOT! "
Saying so, he left from the room closing the door behind him, leaving a teary eyed Ishita alone.
Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she remembered the conversation with him last night when he asked her how could she bring the woman back to his life and his bedroom whom he tried to forget since past 6years!
Ishita felt guilty of hurting her family's feelings, especially for hurting Raman's feelings as she saw the pain in his eyes.
Though she did right by helping Shagun, she realised now that she had no right to hurt her family's sentiment, knowing how much Shagun had given them pain for years.
Ishita realised her mistake and thought that she'll try her best to bring back the smile on her Ravan kumar's face and she would do anything for that.
Later, at the breakfast table, Ishita made Raman's fave Gobi ke paranthe, but he ignored her and asked for cornflakes instead from his mother. Whole family, except Ruhi and Mr.Bhalla were avoiding any conversation with Ishita.
Ishita felt sad and lonely in her own home, with her own family around. Raman dropped Ruhi to school on the way and then went to his office. Simi & Mrs.Bhalla went to meet Pammi aunty while Mr.Bhalla was chatting with Mr.Iyer at the Iyers house.
Param saw Ishita lost in her thoughts in the kitchen while milk was about to overflow on the stove. She suddenly snaps out of her thoughts and reflexively holds the hot vessel with bare hands causing slight burn.
Param acts concerned and tries to hold her hand to apply ointment saying "Areh Ishitaji, be careful, aapke gore badan pe daag lag jaye...acha nahi lagta"showing his evil grin when she retracts her hands and warns "Don't you dare to even take my name. Just get lost and leave me alone or else you'll be burnt alive today!"
Param smiles at her and leaves from there before saying "Bahut Garam mood me lag rahi ho. Thandi ho jao. Fir milte hain. Bye IshitaJi."
Ishita gives him a disgusting look as she closes the main door after he leaves. Sarika calls Ishita to inform about her today's appointments but Ishita cancels them all and tells her to contact Dr.Preeti to take her cases for today.
Ishita tries calling Raman but he cuts the call on seeing her name flash on his screen.
Later at night, it's around 2am but Raman doesn't come home. Ishita is pacing in the balcony, checking for Raman's car but ends up in disappointment on not finding it. Dejected, she walks through the living room towards their bedroom.
Finally she hears the door getting opened and runs into the living room only to see a tired Raman walking in with the coat hanging over his left shoulder with his left hand as he's rubbing his forehead with his right hand.
Ishita tries to speak to him but before she could say anything, he shows her the hand, gesturing her to not speak. "Ishita! I've already saw and heard enough since yesterday! Just leave me alone!"
Saying so, he dropped his coat on the sofa and marched towards his room. Ishita knew that he was upset at her. She immediately made ginger tea for him as she knew he was having headache and probably he didn't eat anything since the morning.
He changed into his night clothes and saw his daughter sleeping peacefully on their bed. He ran his hand gently over her forehead and kissed her. She came to him with the tea.
"Mujhe nahi chahiye! I said na, just leave me alone for sometime." Raman spoke in a firm voice.
"Raman! Aap mujhpe gussa ho na. to theek hai. Aap daanto, maaro, kuch bhi karo. Par plz apne aap ko hurt mat karo! I know ki aapne kuch nahi khaaya hoga subah se. Aur headache hogaya hai aapko."
Raman gets furious at her.He takes the tea from her hands and keeps it on the side table. He then grabs her hand tightly, causing her pain while saying "Ye fake care ka drama kyun kar rahi ho? Wakai agar tumhe mere dard ki, mere feelings ki parvah hoti to kal wo nahi karti jo tumne kaand kiya tha!"
Ishita pleads him "Raman! Mera haath...it's paining...plz let go of my hand..."
Raman tightened his grip more, bringing her a lil closer to his face as he clenched his teeth "kyun? bahut dard ho raha hai? Uss dard ka kya Ishita jo tumne mujhe diya tha kal? Uss aurat ko dobara mere ghar...mere room me laake huh?"
Ishita stopped her struggle and looked into his eyes which were filled with painful tears. The pain that was given to him by Shagun years ago.
Tears started flowing from Ishita's eyes, that's when Raman let go of her hand and walked off from the room.
Ishita looked at her arm which had red marks due to Raman holding her tightly. She wiped her tears and followed into the living room.
Raman was standing in the balcony, looking up at the dark sky as the old memories flashed in front of his eyes. The days he spent with Shagun in the same house and the same bedroom, the way he pampered her with all his heart, the way she conspired against his parents, her leaving him for Ashok and taking away his son.
A tear escaped his eyes just as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He quickly wiped his tears when Ishita stepped beside him. He turned his back to her, shrugging off her hand on his shoulder as he said "Ishita, I said you to leave me alone. Ab kya mere hi ghar me mujhe kuch pal akele bitane ke liye tumhari permission leni padegi?"
Ishita replied in a firm but gentle tone "Haan! leni padegi! Aur agar aapne permission mangi bhi to I'm sorry, par main nahi dene wali!"
Raman was now angry. He turned to face her and asked "Kyun? Ab kya mere life ke decisions bhi tum logi? Mujhe kya karna chahiye kahan jana chahiye ya kaise baat karna chahiye... sab tum decide karogi?"
He continued "Look! tum sabki care karti ho maanta hu. Tumne mere ghar aur mere parivaar ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai maanta hu...par tumhe koi haq nahi hai meri..."
His words were interrupted by Ishita who angrily asked "Ek second! Ye kabse kya 'meri meri' laga rakhi hai? tabse bole ja rahe ho ki 'mera ghar, meri family, mera room ,mera ye mera woh' hadd hai yaar!"
Raman looked on perplexed at her sudden outburst. She continued "ye 'humara' ghar hai. 'humari' family, 'humara room'... aur rahi baat aapko akela chodne ki...toh sorry, iss janam me to nahi chodne wali. Remember, aap ne hi kaha tha na ki biwi hu main aapki!"
Raman stood baffled at her words, staring at her without a blink.
