While Raman was quarreling with his feelings and trying to make sense of his realization, the Iyer household had another member going through the same trepidations. The scene was the same here, radio playing yaad shehar, the moon playing hide and seek with the clouds, the breeze ruffling through Ishita's hair while the rain drops caress her face. Ishita, now known to the world as Ishita Raman Bhalla was pacing around in her room trying to make sense of her life and more importantly trying to sort out her feelings.

Songs coming up: Rest of Dhak dhuk, possibly Dil toh bachcha hai ji

Hope you guys like it!!! Let me know if you want me to incorporate any of your favorite songs.

Part 2/Last part

While Raman was quarreling with his feelings and trying to make sense of his realization, the Iyer household had another member going through the same trepidations. The scene was the same here, radio playing yaad shehar, the moon playing hide and seek with the clouds, the breeze ruffling through Ishita's hair while the rain drops caress her face. Ishita, now known to the world as Ishita Raman Bhalla was pacing around in her room trying to make sense of her life and more importantly trying to sort out her feelings.

Ishita silent thinking: It has been two hours since I am here, by now Raman must have found out I am staying at amma's house. He didn't even care to call or message me to find out why I am here, he didn't call to find out if Ruhi slept or not. Why Raman why! Why must you hurt me so much, do I mean nothing to you, you don't miss me at all, you aren't bothered one bit why I am upset with you, do you like my silence. She looks at her bed and thinks why am I not happy that I get to sleep on my bed and not that uncomfortable couch, why do I keep longing for that damn couch. Why am I missing that room, she lays down and finds no comfortable position to sleep. Why is she missing that annoying ESPN analyst talking about some non sense match and more importantly why is she missing Raman just glued to the TV. Here at amma's house I can read my book in peace without all the screaming and noise of a cricket match then why am I not even able to get through even one page of this darn book. She was about to turn off the light when the radio played dhak dhuk

Ho Ye Din Raatein, Teekhi Teri Baatein

Even if it's day or night, Your spicy talks

Kya Kare Jo Yaad Aaye Re...

I remember

Tere Taane Vaane, Chhoone Ke Bahane

Your sharp comments, excuses of touching me

Dil Ko Bada Sataaye Re...

Torture this heart a lot

Kyun Na Humein Roke, Ek Baar Toke

Why don't You stop me and scold me once?

Ke Tera Zikr Jab Bhi Aaye

Whenever there's a mention of You

Thodi Fikr Chhu Ke Jaaye, Haaye... Hoye... Haaye...

A small amount of worry comes and touches me

Jiyara, Jiyara, Jiyara, Dhak Dhuk Hoye

My heart is beating fast/feeling scared

Jiyara Dhak Dhuk Hoye, Haaye... Hoye... Haaye...

My heart is beating fast

Kaise Jaoon Main Paraye Des

How should I go to a foreign country?

A tear rolls down Ishita's eye, she curses herself for caring for a man that doesn't respect her at all, then why is she missing his taunts, his one liners, why does she expect him to ask her to come back to their room. THEIR room. Ishita chuckles at the word their, how was that room theirs, he had given her no space in his heart or in that room. In that house all she had was that couch. Before she could think further Ruhi came running to her room.

Ruhi: Ishimaa mujhe paati ke saath neend nahi aa rahi

I: Okay beta Ishima ke saath so jao

Ishita watches her daughter fall asleep, she cuddles her and feels a sense of comfort, she keeps on sniffing her arm, Ishita realizes Raman's cologne had rubbed on Ruhi's arm while they were hugging and playing with each other after dinner. She finds solace in that fragrance, she finds warmth and she finds love in that smell. Ishita was about to fall asleep when Mihika enters her room

Mihika: Akka aap so rahe ho

I: Mihika raat ke 1 baja hai what do you think main bharatnatyam karonge

Mihika: Akka aap jeju ki tarha one liners

Ishita silent thinking: Ye kya ho raha mujhe, main Raman ki tarah khadoos ban gayi ho

I: Sorry Mihika bas thak gayi hoon

Mihika: Akka kya hua? Apka jiju ke saath fight hua?

I: Kya?

Mihika: Jiju ka phone aya tha

Before Mihika could speak Ishita tells her Ruhi will wake up, and she needs to sleep because there is a lot to do in the morning. Mihika leaves, Ishita shuts off the light and moves next to Ruhi, takes her in a bear hug and smells her arm.

Ishita silent thinking: Raman ne Mihika ko phone kiya par mujhse nahi puch sakte hain, adha ghanta chole ke bare main baat karenge par mujhse nahi puche ge ki kya baat hai, Mihika ko phone kiya par mujhe nahi ki, what husband calls the sister in law to enquire about his wife rather than calling his wife. I don't know why I am feeling bad again and again, I already concluded in the morning that he only thinks of me as Ruhi's Ishimaa so why should he bother that I am miserable here, why would it bother him that a part of me died when I pictured Raman with Sanjana, why would it bother him that I miss his taunts, his angry glare, his sweet smile, and his random ways of touching me. Ishita you are a fool! Get over yourself, this isn't a movie this is real life and in real life there is no happy ever after!

5 AM

Raman comes out to the living room having not a slept a minute, he goes down to the bench waiting for the milkman, he couldn't collect milk in front of the Iyers or his plan would spoil. As soon as he collects milk he comes up to this kitchen and purposely spills most of it on the floor. Toshiji wakes up, sees the spilled milk and just stares at Raman. Before she could raise her voice.

Raman: Maa sorry mujhse doodh gir gaya, maine driver ko bheja hai aur milk lane, mujhe headache hai and I cannot wait any longer so I am going to go to Amma's house to get some tea for myself

With that Raman goes across the hall to start his plan: Winning Ishu over. He didn't know why she was mad at him but that didn't bother him, he just wanted Ishita back in his life as his JKR without the silent treatment.

Appa: Are Raman tum, Aao beta. Main Ishu ko bulata hoon

Appa: Ishu bahar aao beta aur chai banao

Ishita: Appa chai? Hum to coffee pete hain n...

Before she could finish the sentence her eyes fall on Raman, she could tell he hadn't slept at night, his eyes were red and swollen. Had she not known better it would have looked like an eye infection

Raman: Good morning Ishita

Ishita ignoring him moves to the kitchen to make tea and coffee

Raman: Woh kya hai na appa, neelu se doodh spill ho gaya toh mene driver ko bheja hai milk lane par mujhe headache ho...

Before he could finish his sentence, a cup of tea is placed on the table by Ishita. Without saying a word she picks up her coffee and moves to HER bedroom.

Raman keeps on staring at the bedroom, appa notices the silent game.

Appa: Raman beta main morning walk ke liye jar aha hoon

Raman silent thinking: Thank God Appa, bhagwan apka bhala kare.

With that he picks up his cup of tea and moves to Ishu's room, Ishita is startled to see him in the room, she wants to scream at him but she remembers her promise and just goes to the balcony, Raman follows her to the balcony

Raman: Tumne chai kyon banai

Seeing no response from Ishita, he snatches her coffee and gives her the tea.

Raman: Subhah subhah garam filter coffee apni garam garam biwi ke saath, wah maza hi kuch alag hai.

He was hoping she would snatch the coffee back but she just stood there drinking tea.

Raman: Waise me police ko phone karne wala tha raat ko, FIR file karna tha ki meri bachchi phirse kidnap ho gayi hai aur zaroor koi madrasan hogi kidnapper.

Still no response, he grabs her shoulders and turns her towards him

Raman with sincerity in his eyes: Ishita bataya nahi ki tum amma ke waha sone wali ho, main tumhara intezaar kar raha tha. Soch raha tha kab tum aaogi aur mujhse ladoo gi, yaar match tumhari kit kit ke bena dekhna pasand nahi, tumhe pata hai ab mujhe bhi aadat ho gayi hai story ke bina neend nahi aati, jaise tum Ruhi ko story sunati ho raat ko, waise hi hum dono sunte hain yaad shehar. Tumhare bina yaad shehar ki kahaniye pheke lag rahi thi kal raat. Tumne mere bare mein ek bar nahi socha, tum mujhse naraz ho par itni badi saza. Ishu...

Ishita was startled when Raman called her Ishu, this was the 1^st time that her Ravan kumar had called her Ishu. She had tears in her eyes but before she could say anything Raman continues

Raman: Main janta hoon maine tumhe bohot dard diye hai par tumne sirf mujhe khushiyan di haan, par aab main apni galtiyan sudharonga. Tum mujhse koi baat mat karo, gussa raho par mere saath sirf 5 minute ke liye HUMARE room main chalo please,

With that he takes her arm and guides her back to their room, Ishita enters the room and is shell shocked to see this room.

Raman's room looks completely different, the couch was gone, there were beautiful curtains draping the balcony door, the walls were colored in beautiful turquoise, all of Ishita's books were placed neatly on the book shelf next to Raman's trophies but the most important part of the room were the beautiful pictures hanging on the wall, for the 1^st time Ishita saw her picture with Ruhi and Raman adorning the walls of their bedroom. Ishita walks up to the picture and starts crying while touching the picture. Raman follows her, grabs her waist and makes her sit on the bed, he holds her hands while he kneels on the ground.

Raman: Ishita I have made lots of mistakes and one of them is not sharing my life with you. You are my wife! From today I promise I will try to open up, I will share my feelings, my inner thoughts and my past. I will try to be an open book. I am not saying it will be easy for you or me but I promise that I will try. And I start by sharing this room with you, from now this OUR room not mine. You kno...

Ishita: Kitna bolte ho aap, aur mujhe accuse karte ho ki main bhashan dete hoon. Pechle 30 minutes non stop bak bak bak bak kiye ja reho ho, bolne ka to moka do mujhe

While saying that she helps him stand up from the ground and continues to hold his hand.

Ishita: Aapne ye sab 6 ghanto main kase kiya?

Raman: CEO hoon, tumhare samne nahi par bahar duniye main mera dhoos bohot hain, ek phone call kiya bas painter, tailor and interior designer were here at 12:30 at night. Toh aap impress ho ya nahi?

Ishita: Woh toh main badme batongi par turquoise for the wall? Kaise chuna?

Raman: Lagta hoon gadha hoon nahi, Turquoise = Blue + Green, so it was a no brainer you see! Ab toh impress hui ya nahi

Ishita: Acha who couch kaha gaya..

Raman: Yaar tum kya carpentry sikhne aeo yahan, pagal aurat, kin cheezon main focus hai tumhara. Ek to pati puri raat soya nahi, etni mehnat ki aur tumhe couch ki padi hai.

Before Raman could continue with his rant, Ishita hugs him and buries her head in his chest.

Raman: Toh aaj bhi amma ke ghar ye phir plan cancel aur apne kamra main?

Ishita: Sorry Ravan kumar, shaadi ka mahol hai toh mujhe Mihika ke saath rehna padega

Raman: Kya? Pehle bataya hota toh room ke renovation aram se karvata faltu main itni jaldi jaldi main apne BP high kar betha. Acha agar raat ko tum waha raho gi to ek shart hain.

Ishita: Kya

Raman: Phone pe apne bhashan dena hoga, you see tumhara bhashan is my lullaby aur subuh ki chai and coffee combo tumhari balcony main. Deal?

Ishita: Deal

Raman: Acha suno, don't get mad par tum mujhe se naraz thi kyun?

Ishita thinks to herself, it doesn't matter what Sanjana or anyone says about Raman, she has to trust her man and needs to trust this relationship more than any 3^rd person. Raman has opened up his room to her and slowly he will open his soul for her, she will have to be patient and give him all the love and support in this process.

Rama: Hello madam? Phir se maun vrat?

Ishita: Chodo Raman raat gayi baat gayi!

Raman: Sochlo phir ye mat kehna ki main care nahi karta

Ishita still in his embrace is lost in the fragrance of his cologne

Raman: Hello pagal madrasan phir chup, tumhara dimag kahan hai

Ishita: Ramaaan

Raman: Haan bolo

Ishita: Roz raat k before I go to Amma's just spray your cologne on me, the smell makes me believe that you are always around me and...

Raman: Bas itni si baat...tum kaho to main aaj se cologne main hi nahoaja

Raman takes his Ishu in a kiss...

THE END
