"Are you done with this charade?"
She turned around to look at an angry and extremely frustrated Raman, she sighed as she looked down and started walking away, ignoring her husband yet again, except she was stopped this time. She looked back to see Raman holding her wrist firmly giving her a stern look. She was used to this look now, but something in his raging eyes told her this time it was different. This time there was raw anger in those deep soulful eyes.
He took her hand and dragged her to a near by room of the event hall where no one could disturn them.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Raman?! Let me go!" she yelled as he pinned her against the wall.
"Don't you dare give me attitude, not after what you've made me go through all day!" Raman shouted. He had enough of her silent treatment. He needed explanations now.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about.." she lowered her gaze as she stuttered her words.
"Oh don't give me that bullshit Ishita, you very well know that you've been driving me up the wall with this silent treatment of yours for something I haven't even done! Can I please get an explanation for this? Because clearly I don't remember myself screwing up so bad that I deserve such brutal treatment from you!"
She just stared at him. Did her silence really effect Raman that much? Was he really frustrated? She did't know whether to be elated or feel bad that she had put him through this harsh treatment.
"..Why do you wanna know so badly?" she asked, searching for an answer.
"Are you seriously out of your mind? Why wouldn't I want to know? You're my wife god damn it. You yell at me a reason known to yourself, then we get into an argument and then you declare you don't want to talk to me because you need privacy! What the hell am I supposed to make out of this?! I'm not a mind reader Ishita.. you need to tell me things! What did I do? Where did I go wrong to deserve such ill treatment from you?!" the volume of his voice increased as he pressed himself harder onto her body.
"You had an affair with Sanjana." she stated, tears brimming in her eyes as her lips quivered.
He stood still..not knowing how to react or what to say. He unclasped his hands around her arms as he stepped back to take in what she just said.
"You had an affair with Sanjana before I came into your life..and you didn't tell me." she declared a bit firmly this time.
"And you believed her." he shook his head in disgust. She believed a stranger.
It was Ishita's turn to be shocked.
"What do you mean I believed her? She's Mihir's sister and she told me that because of you her and Mihir don't have a brother-sister relationship.
Raman scoffed. This woman was the most gullible creature in the world.
"So you go ahead and believe a random stranger, but don't have the intelligence to come and tell your husband about this?! Who are you? Stop being a jagga jasoos Ishita, you can't just go and solve everything yourself! The world is a cruel place! Some times you need a person's help to solve things, and this is one of those situations!" he yelled.
"Oh please Raman don't preach something you don't practice! First of all you hid the fact that Mihir had a sister. Okay I understand Mihir wasn't ready to share it but when the fact came out in the open you didn't even think ONCE to tell me at least? Do I not have the right to know things about your life? Am I not worthy enough?" she yelled as tears started rolling down her eyes.
"The only reason I believed Sanjana was because she showed me a picture of her and Mihir when they were kids.. the same picture Mihir has! Yes I agree I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions when she mentioned that you and her were in a relationship, but what could I do Raman? You don't tell me anything about your life, you keep secrets from me. How am I supposed to come up to you and ask you if you had an affair with Sanjana or not? Tell me Raman! Do we even have the trust most married couples should? Do you even trust me enough to share things with me? Answer me Raman!" She shouted as she clutched on to his collar.. she needed answers now!
He stared at her as she kept on clutching on to his collar. Did he really screw up that bad? Did he lead her on to think that she wasn't trusted? If only she knew she was the only person he could trust blindly. If only she knew...
He clasped her face with his hands, wiping away her tears with his thumb. He couldn't see her like that.. it hurt. It hurt him whenever she was distressed especially because of him. He didn't want to be the reason for her tears. He only wanted to spread happiness in her life.
"Don't ever say that Ishita." He whispered as he leaned his forehead against hers.
"You mean so much to me.. how can you even think I don't trust you? In fact you're the only person in my life who I trust the most.. more than myself. Don't ever say I don't trust you! And coming back to Mihir's sister, honestly it's not my place becuause it's Mihir's job to tell everyone, not mine. It's regarding his past, his family so until he's ready I can't tell you much about his sister. As for Sanjana, to hell with her, we can deal with her later, but I can definitely tell you that she means nothing to me because her and I were never in a relationship. She lied to you Ishita.."
She opened her eyes to see his tearful orbs staring back at her with honesty.
Tears rolled down again as she replied "s-she l-lied to me? but why? and--" she was stopped midway when Raman placed his finger on her lips and shushed her.
"She's not worth it Ishita." He whispered. Their faces were just inches away from each other as their foreheads touched.
"I don't know what you thought when she told you this lie.. but get one thing straight Ishita. There wasn't, there isn't, and won't ever be an important as you in my life. You're my wife Ishita. We've been married for seven months.. I agree we got married for Ruhi but you and I both know that's not the case anymore. It's not 'sirf ruhi ke liye' and to be honest I don't think it ever was."
"What?" she asked, surprised.
"Now that I look back Ishita..it makes my belief much stronger."
"What belief?" she was curious.
"My belief that we were made for each other.. that we are meant to be."
She looked at him with sincerity, hoping he was being honest.
"I'm not joking Ishita, this is me being serious. We both have been behind a facade for a while now, it's time to face the truth. It's time to live in the moment...together." He smiled.
This time her tears wouldn't stop.. she finally shed happy tears for the first time in the day. She smiled back.
"Ishita..after not talking to you for a whole day, I realized that life is so empty with you.. without your lectures. You can get mad at me all you want, you can yell at me, scold me, whatever but promise me one thing.. promise that you'll never give me a silent treatment because my life comes to a stand still when I don't hear your boring lectures.." he chuckled.
"I can't believe you actually said that.. Raavan Kumar." she said as she hid her face in the crook of his neck. Her happiness had no bounds, she finally found the perfect match.
"No, but I'm serious. A day without your lectures is like a dry day for Punjabi's." He stated.
"Did you just compare me to dry day?!"
"Not you, your lectures Jhansi Ki Rani!" he winked. She laughed as she went back into his secure and loving arms. She didn't want to be anywhere else besides her husband's embrace... they made her feel wanted. He made her feel wanted.
There was a long pause before Raman started.
"I can't thank God enough for bringin you into my life Ishita. Thank you for being Ruhi's wonderful Ishima.. and for being the perfect life partner. You will always be the perfect match for me. I promise I'll keep you happy. You know, I can do anything to see you smile? I know I can be a pain in the ass sometimes but that's when you come in and tame me down, like always." He smiled as he tightened his grip on her.
"Is this 'Raman Confession Day' by any chance?" Ishita asked.
"Way to ruin the moment Jhansi Ki Rani.." he rolled his eyes. "I just want you to know that from now on we won't have any secrets between us, no misunderstandings, and no trust issues. You have no idea how much you mean to me Ishita.. and I don't ever wanna lose you. You will always be mine.. and an I will always be yours...forever."
He kissed her on the forehead as they embraced each other. No matter what happens, he vowed to be her man for the rest of their lives.
