~~~"WORDS I CAN NOT SAY"~~~
Raman is driving on his way home from work when his car starts slowing down. He parks his car on the side and tries to re-start it but it's not working. He tries to understand what is wrong but he can't find a clue.
He goes to call Mihir to come and pick him up when he realizes that he has no more battery. He curses his life and decides to walk the few miles to home, hoping he'll catch a raksha on the way. After 10 minutes of walking, the rain starts pouring heavily. Raman is getting pissed off. He can't believe how unlucky he is. He doesn't find any raksha on his way.
When he finally reaches home, he is wet to the bones. He is shivering and feeling really tired.
Toshi comes at him and asks him what happened. As he explains, Ishita runs to get him a towel. Romi hears the agitation from his room and comes into the living room.
Raman shouts: "you. I'm going to kill you."
Romi scared : "Bhai? What happened? What did I do?"
Raman shouts : "You used my car this morning, right? Well, the car just broke down in the middle of the way home. I had to walk under the rain for almost two hours. What did you do to it?"
Romi : "I didn't do anything Bhai I swear. I even put gasoline in it before giving it back to you!"
Raman shouts: "You put GASOLINE in it? That's it, I'm going to break your bones! My car uses Diesel you punk!"
He tries to grab Romi to beat him but toshi and ishita protect him.
Ishita : "raman calm down please. It was obviously a mistake. Please try to control".
Romi : "Bhai I'm so sorry please bhai don't beat me! I have a meeting with Sarika tomorrow, I need to look my best." He joins his hand and fake cries.
Raman decides to ignore them all and goes to his room. He takes a shower and goes to sleep.
-------------------------
In the morning, Ishita tries to wake him up but Raman is not opening his eyes. She gets closer and shakes him but she doesn't get any reaction. Raman is sweating a lot. Ishita touches his forehead.
Ishita : "Ayooo Raman, you're burning with fever." She calls the doctor.
Ishita is very worried but Toshi says that it was bound to happen since Raman walked in the rain. The doctor tells them to buy some medicines and says that Raman will be better by next week. They just have to be patient and to let the fever come down.
Ishita calls her clinic and tells them that she can't come for the next few days because her husband is very sick.
For the next 36h hours Ishita stays besides Raman and takes care of him by putting a wet cloth on his forehead, by feeding him, giving him his medicine. She keeps praying for his health too. The fever comes down but Raman is still very weak (he sleeps most of the day) and he can't speak because he caught a throat infection.
While Ishita is taking care of him, Raman catches himself thinking about Shagun. Years ago, he had caught a severe pneumonia and then too, he had to spend a whole week in his bed. But back then, Shagun said she didn't want to catch his virus so she had spent that week at her friend's house, letting Toshi taking care of Raman. Raman was hurt by her egoism but he loved her so much that he soon forgave her.
Raman's heart starts aching when he thinks about Ishita who has almost not slept in the past 2 days to take care of him. He is amazed at her selflessness. After Shagun left him, he stopped looking for love as he thought that love only meant to be used and thrown like a tissue paper. But now he realizes that love is about caring, empathizing and simply being there for the other one, and that's what Ishita is doing for him.
Early in the morning, raman wakes up and looks around to see that Ishita is sitting on a chair next to his bed, she has fallen asleep (still in her saree) despite her efforts to stay awake and her head is bobbing down. Raman is looking at her lovingly and he is thankful to God for bringing her into his life.
Raman to himself : "Yeh pagal madrasan, she is taking care of me without thinking about herself. She must be exhausted..."
A moment later, his throat is in pain and he coughs a few times. Ishita wakes up.
Ishita : "Raman? Are you okay? Wait, I'll bring you a glass of water."
Raman grabs her hand as she was about to go and makes her sit on the bed beside him. He gets closer to her and looks deep into her eyes.
Ishita : "Raman, aap..." Raman makes her shush by putting a finger on her lips. Ishita blushes but she is not sure what is going on.
Raman tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear. He is very gentle. He smiles at her. Ishita steal a glance at him but she can't look at him straight in the eyes. Raman lifts her chin so that she looks at him. Then he takes her hand in his left hand. They both blush. Raman points his right index at himself.
Ishita : " You...? Raman, you what?"
Raman brings her hand (the one he was holding) to his heart and holds it here a few seconds. Ishita feels his heartbeat under her palm. She doesn't say a word. Then Raman points his right index at her.
Ishita puts the pieces together. Raman just told her "I love you". She looks deep into his eyes. Her eyes are getting teary, she is feeling blissfully happy. She wants to say something but doesn't know where to start. Raman bits his lips shyly, now he is the one who can't look at her in the eyes. They are both blushing. Just when Ishita decides to speak, Toshi calls her from the kitchen so she has to rush out of the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ishita : "Haa mummy jee?"
Toshi : "Sarika just called, she said she couldn't reach you on your mobile."
Ishita : "Sarika? So early in the morning? What did she say mummy jee?"
Toshi : "There is big emergency she said, you have to go to the clinic right now..."
Ishita : "But Raman..."
Toshi : "Ishita, don't worry, I'll take care of him. You go. Take your breakfast with you, I've just packed it for you."
Ishita is a bit hesitant but then she grabs her lunch, her handbag and goes.
---------------------------------
During the day ishita is worried about Raman but she can't call him because she doesn't want him to tire his throat since it's still healing.
On the other hand, Raman is disappointed that Ishita had to go to the clinic today, that too after his muted declaration. He is sulking alone in his bedroom.
Toshi : "What is wrong Raman? You're grumpy since the morning..."
Raman with a coarse voice : "this pagal madrasan left me like that! She doesn't care one bit about her husband..."
Toshi: "Chup kar! She had to leave for the clinic. You're not the only one suffering in this world. And look how well she took care of you, your voice is coming back already."
Raman knows his mother is right but he doesn't want to admit it. During the day he gets to do some things by himself as he is feeling better.
-------------------------
When ishita comes at night, she is tired from her long hectic day but she can't wait to see Raman. She slowly enters the room, both shy and excited to see her husband but soon she is disappointed as she notices that he is already asleep.
--------------------------
In the morning, Raman wakes up first and is glad to see that his throat is mostly healed. He sees ishita sleeping on the couch. He goes to her and stares lovingly at her. Then he puts a light kiss on her forehead without waking her up, and he goes in the living room to take his breakfast.
Less than an hour later, Ishita wakes up, gets ready and goes to take her breakfast too. When she enters the living room, Raman looks at her and smiles. Ishita blushes. She takes her coffee and sits next to him, feeling shy.
Ishita : "you are feeling better today Raman?"
Raman : "Of course! My own mom took good care of me yesterday, I could only feel better after that." Toshi smiles proudly. Raman continues eating, acting coy. Ishita is a bit upset that Toshi is getting all the credits but what really matters is that Raman is feeling better.
Toshi goes back in her room. Raman and Ishita are now alone in the living room.
Ishita : "I'm glad that your throat is better."
Raman : "Why? You were missing my one liners?"
Ishita : "Kuch bhi! But I'm happy that's true... Now you can actually tell me what you signed yesterday..." she blushes.
Raman : "Oh wo? Haa". He puts his fork down. "Did you get what I was trying to say?"
Ishita : "Yes... You meant that... You... You love me?" She blushes while saying it.
Raman : "Now I have confirmation that your screw is really lose."
Ishita is ejected from lalaland : "Wh... What?!"
Raman : "Did the fever make me crazy that I'd fall in love with you? No. Bewakoof aurat! What I was trying to say is : My heart beat fasters when I look at you." Ishita looks at him confused.
Raman continues : "Because you were looking like a chudail ! With your hair all over the place and those raccoon eyes from the lack of sleep" He gets up and leaves, laughing.
Ishita is shocked and annoyed : "Yeh Ravan Kumar bhi!" she shouts.
Raman then turns around and says "Waise... I'm to blame too in this. You didn't take a single second for yourself while you were taking care of me... So... thank you Ishita." He adds gently.
Ishita is not annoyed anymore. They smile at each other fondly and then get back on their respective routine. 😳
