Part 8:
It was Ishita's mail. Raman starred at the text in disbelief.
I think i need to go Raman. Your life will get unnecessarily complicated if I continue to stay here. I am unable to look for another solution to our situation, I am sorry that I am being selfish here. I am sorry that I dint consult you, you would have never let me go. Don't go about looking for me this time, you wont find me.
Take care of yourself, Ruhi, Adi, Shagun and the entire family. Keep good health. Loads of love.
It took some time for Raman to get back to his senses and realise what had just happened.Tears rolled down his eyes, but his stood up immediately, he couldnt afford to let the situation go out of his control this time.
"Ye madrasan ka kyaa karun main..Bilkul akkal nahi hai isko..Baat baat pe chal padti hai..Aur is halat mein..Ab kya karoon..kahan dhundhun usse.."
He searched for his phone in panic, dialed Mihir's no, his hands still shaking.
Raman: "Mihir kal Mihika Ishita se milne gayee thi.. kaisi thi ishita..mujhe jaldi bata..jaldi bata"
Mihir:"Bhai Mihika kal gayee thi shaam ko, Bhabhi theek thi, aur Mihika phir raat to wapas bhi aa gayi thi"
Raman shouted:" Arey kaise theek thi! Abhi I checked a mail from Ishita, she has left me Mihir, I have no clue where she has gone!"
Mihir: "What? Bhai ye aap kya keh rahe hain.. Main abhi Mihika se baat karta hoon..main abhi dekhta hoon..Bhai aap please tension mat lain, hum bhabhi ko dhoond lenge"
Raman cut the call.He rushed to Iyer house and banged on the door. Mrs Iyer opened the door.
Raman: " Amma, amma, Ishita kahan gayi hai. Please mujhe batayiye amma, Ishita kahan hai."
Mrs Iyer: "Kya hua Raman, Ishita apne ghar pe hogi."
Raman: "No amma, apko kuch nahin kaha usne?..wo chali gayi hai kahin humsabko chodke"
Mr Iyer came out.
Mr Iyer:" Ye kya keh rahe ho tum Raman, hamein is baat ke baare me kuch nahin pata"
Mrs Iyer: "Aiyyo kadavale.. mujhe kal se darr lag raha tha. Kal wo Subbu ki mom ne aur pehle Shagun ne usse kuch bura bhala kaha tha. Ishu bahut upset thi.Mujhe
pehle hi samajh jaana chahiye tha"
She sat down on the sofa, totally broken.
She continued: "Meri Ishu pata nahin kis haalat mein hogi.Murugan please meri Ishu ki help karna"
Raman tried to console her. "Amma aap please itna stress mat lijiye. Main Ishita ko dhoond nikaloonga.

"Ab kya karoon main" Raman strode around his room, his arms crossed. Shagun had woken up.
An idea stuck him, he rushed to Ruhi's room.
Raman: " Ruhi, tumhe Ishima ka mail password pata hai?"
Ruhi:" No papa.. But I am sure, Ishima ka password zaroor mere naam se ya aapke naam se hoga. Aap try kar lo"
Raman rushed to his room, sat down on his bed and took his laptop on his lap. Shagun had been noticing him for sometime.
Shagun: "Raman, ye kya ho raha hai subah se? Mujhe tumse baat karni hai."
Raman: "Shagun please abhi chup ho jaao. Mujhe kuch bahut zaroori kaam hai abhi."
Shagun: "But Raman..Mujhe tumse.."
Raman shouted to stop her from speaking " Just shut up Shagun! Mujhe tumse koi baat nahin karni abhi. Let me do my work."
Raman logged into gmail. He spoke to himself " kyaa password ho sakta hai Madrasan ka.."
ruhiraman he tried. failed.
Raman to himself:" Nahin, nahin, kuch aur soch beta"
ramanmylove failed again.
"Soch beta soch" he spoke. And then, a smile came on to his lips. He tried again.
ravankumar yes..logging in..
Raman chuckled softly.
He browsed through her mails. He found a ticket booking mail.
"Ishita Bhalla..3 oct..Indigo Air..Delhi-Bangalore..1030 am"
"Oh my god. Its already 8:15. But abhi bhi 2 ghante hain. Main jaldi se nikalta hoon"
He got up quickly and changed his clothes hurriedly. He was going out of his room to pick up his car keys, when Shagun held his wrist and tried to stop him.
Shagun: "Raman kahan jaa rahe ho tum.Mujhe tumse baat karni hai"
Raman: "Maine kaha naa Shagun mujhe tumse koi baat nahin karni. Please mujhe disturb mat karo abhi.Mujhe abhi bahut zaroori kahin jaana hai."
Shagun: "Raman hamara is time baat karna bhi bahut zaroori hai."
Raman: "Shagun tumhe ek baar baat samajh nahi aati. I need to go now. We will talk later."
Shagun: "But Raman.."
Raman: " Shagun just leave my hand "
Shagun: "Raman ruko.."
But Raman pulled his hand and headed towards the door.
Shagun shouted."Raman main tumse pyaar nahin karti"
It took some time for Shagun's words to sink in Raman's head. He turned around in disbelief.
Raman: "What???"
Shagun: "Haan Raman main tumse pyaar nahin karti. Main tumhe subah se ye baat batane ki koshish kar rahi hoon. Main kisi aur se pyaar karti hoon"
Raman: " Shagun ye main theek sun raha hoon naa?"
Shagun: " Haan Raman. Tumne theek suna. I dont love you anymore."
Raman: "But kisse pyar karti ho tum?"
Shagun: " Dheeraj Ambani se. Hum abhi Mumbai me mile the. Wo Anil Ambani ka cousin hai."
She continued "Raman wo bahut rich hai.Uske paas 21 storey ghar hai, aur mujhse ab is 5 bedroom flat mein nahin raha jaata. But wo baat nahin hai.
Baat ye hai ki main tumse pyaar nahi karti, main ab Dheeraj se pyar karti hoon. Main pyar ke liye tumhe chod rahi hoon.Main tumhe divorce papers bhijwa
doongi. Main jaa rahi hoon aaj, wo mujhe airport pe lene aa raha hai"
Raman burst out laughing, he coudnt control his laughter. He sat down on his bed clutching his stomach, still laughing loudly.
Raman: "Tum sudharogi nahin naa Shagun. Memory to chali gayi, but by god tum ho waisi ki waisi."
Shagun:" Kya matlab?"
Raman: "Matlab divorce papers ki zaroorat nahi hai.Hum already divorced hain. Tum mujhe pehle hi chod chuki ho, aur meri shaadi bhi ho chuki hai Ishita se."
Shagun: "Whatever. I dont care. Main jaa rahi hoon"
Raman continued to giggle.
Shagun quickly took her bags.
Shagun: "Aur Adi aur Ruhi ko tum hi rakh lo"
Raman: "Ok. Thanks" He couldnt control his laughter.
Raman:" Arey suno to. Laao main tumhe chod deta hoon airport. Mujhe bhi wahin jaana hai."
Raman tried calling Ishita many a times, but she wasnt picking up. Shagun and Raman reached the airport.
Then Raman messaged Ishita." Ishita main airport ke bahar tumhara wait kar raha hoon. I know you are inside and your flight still has 45 minutes to go.
Ab main bollywood style mein airport ke andar to nahin aa sakta na. To tum ab bahar aa jao. Shagun hamein chodke chali gayi hai, hamesha hamesha ke liye"

3 months later...
Ishita was screaming on the stretcher as the hospital staff was taking her into the labour room. Raman was running around her with his phone camera, shooting the entire scene.
Soon the doctors declared the news. Ishita had delived a baby boy and a baby girl, and both babies were healthy.
Ishita was lying on the bed with both the kids on her side as Raman entered her room.
He ran his fingers through the hair falling on her forehead and kissed her temple.
"Tum theek ho" he spoke.
"Hmm" Ishita replied, teary eyed.
Raman took both his kids in his arms one by one, his eyes welled up with happy tears. He kissed both his babies.
Both Iyer and Bhalla families had come. Each and every member took the babies in their arms and expressed their affection.
Mrs bhalla: "Oye hoye..ye kinne sone pota te poti hai mere. Bilkul milky white skin hain inki mere puttar jaisi. Aur dekho inki aankhen bilkul meri pyaari bahu
pe gayi hain ek dum badi badi. Oye Raman, tum dono ne naam final kitte?"
Mrs Iyer interrupted :"Raman tumhare do bachchon ke naam Punjabi hain na, ab in dono ke naam Tamilian honge"
Mrs Bhalla: " Oye hoye..badi aayi tu madrasan. Ye mere pota poti hain Inke naam Punjabi hi honge"
Mrs Iyer: " Main bhi inki Pati hoon. Tamilian names honge"
Mrs Bhalla:" Punjabi"
Mrs Iyer:" Tamilian"
Mrs Bhalla: "Punjabi"
Both Ruhi and Shravan shouted together " Offo stop it dadi and Pati. Ye hospital hai, yahan aise chillate nahi hain!"
Ruhi: " Main solution batati hoon. Ishima aap baby boy ka naam rakho, Papa aap baby girl ka naam rakho"
Ishita: "Hmmm..to main rakhti hoon baby boy ka name..Aarav"
Mrs Iyer: "Aiyyo Ishu ye Tamil name nahin hai"
Ishita: " No problem amma. Actually mummyji aur main us din kuch baby names discuss kar rahe the. Ye unhi me se hai."
Mrs Iyer to Mrs Bhalla "Aiyyo Santoshi..ye kaisa naam hai..Aarav"
Mrs Bhalla:" Oye!!! Tujhe kya pata madrasan. Ye Akshay Kumar ke puttar ka bhi naam hai"
Mrs Iyer:" Tum total filmy hai Santoshi"
Mrs Bhalla: "Tun aivein jealous hai Madrasan"
Raman:" Ishita ab tumne madrasi naam nahi rakha to fir main madrasi naam rakhoon kya? Aur mujhe to sirf ek hi Madrasi naam pata hai. Mathangi. Wo hi rakhdein?!"
Ishita:" Aiyyo Raman!"
Raman: "Amma, aap hi rakh dijiye ek Tamil name"
Mrs Iyer: "Ok..tum Raman to tumhari ye baby girl ka name hoga Ramya"
Both Raman and Ishita smiled.
Ishita called both Ruhi and Adi, they both came to either side of her bed, and Ishita wrapped her arms around them.
"So, Ruhi, Ramya, Aarav and Adi. My four pyaare bachche." Ishita spoke and kissed both Ruhi and Adi on their cheek.
Raman smiled and spoke looking into Ishita's eyes. "Hamare bachche"
