Chapter 4. The sound of the door opening behind her pulled ishita out of her thought.she whipped her head around to see raman leaving the room. Ishita in her mind-mujhe raman se baat krni hogi ,ki kya woh ab v shagun se pyar krte hai ya phir me overeact kr rhi hu. ...Aayu murgan me toh bhul aaj raman ko asia head bnaya jaega r me kisi v wajah se unka yeh special din khrab nhi hone de skti ,is bare me baat toh kisi r din v kiya ja skta hai. Scene shifted to the party venue where raman gave all the credit of his success to shagun and totally sidelined ishita.the limit of her tolerance was broken,she raced to bhalla house.her anger mixed with her sadness as soon as she remembered about raman and his words."the credit for my success goes to my ex-wife shagun"her heart had shattered when he said those words,causing her more pain than she had ever felt in her life.she sat on her bed,looking to the floor with tears on her eyes ,partly from anger partly from hurt.she dropped face on her bed and cried ,venting all her sadness.she tried to stop,but every time she did so new tears would flow free further smearing her makeup and redening her eyes untill 20 minutes .later ,she could shed no more tears .even if she wasn't crying now,she still whimpered at times and sobbed quietly ,unable to overcome the extreme sadness and hurt she felt,clutching the pillow near her chest ,not wanting to let go of it... Raman walked in his room after 2 hours and saw ishita wiping her tears. ISHITA-Raman why are u behaving like that ?why?. Raman looked at her angrilly and din't said a word to her. Ishita-raman me aapse kuch puch rhi hu. Raman-apna natak band karo mujhe bHut neendh aarahi hai r tumhare sawalo la jawab dena me jarori nhi samajta. Ishita - jawab toh aapko dena hoga.me yaha aapke mood swings jhelne k liye nhi aae. Raman-ha tum mere mood swings kyu jhelogi ab toh tumhe tumhara ashiq mil gya hai.. Ishita-what r u talking about raman. Raman-so u dont know what i m talking about. Ishita-saaf saaf boloye aap kehna kya chahte ho. Raman-toh saaf saaf suniye mrs ishita raman bhalla,you cheated on me just shagun did.tumhe kya lga tha mujhe tumhare r tumhare us shani k beech k affair k bare me pta nhi chalega,you r so characterless and cheap ishita. Tears were flowing from ishita 's eyes.she was so depressed ,confused sad and shocked at what he said .he made her feel worthless. Ishita-how dare u raman,aap ko koi haq nhi ki aap is tarah mere character pr ungli uthao. Raman -ha ...sara haq toh tumne apni ashiq mani ko de rkha hai. Ishita-aaj aapne har hadd par kr di raman,mujhe lgne lga tha ki hamare beech v koi rista hai ,hum sirf ruhi k liye mummy papa nhi balki ek dusre k pati patni v hai.,na jane kb kaha r kaise aap mujhe ahche lgne lge r lgne lga tha ki aap v mujhe pasand krte ho pr aapne mera yeh bharab todh diya. Raman-apna yeh natak band karo mujhe tumhari asliyat pta hai...so ab yeh loving and caring wife ka dikhawa krna band karo. Ishita-Natak!aapko yeh sb natak lg rha hai.mani sirf ek ahcha dost hai mera. Raman-ha haha...sirf dost,agar woh sirf dost tha toh phir kyu tum mujhe r ghar walo se jhut bolkar us se milne jati kyu tumne apne phone me uska mani se manisha kr diya r toh r mene tumhe khud usse gale lga kr i love u kehte suna.tum apne pati r bachi ko chor kr uske pass jana chahti thi ...toh phir jao na kisne tumhe roka hai,mujhe r meri beti ko tumhari koi jarorat nhi hai .tum jaisi aurat ki perchae v nhi pdne de skta apni beti pr. Ishita-bas raman bahut bkwas kr chuke aap,aapne kitni ahsani se mujhe characterless bol diya yeh v nhi socha mere upar kya betegi...mujhe aapko ko apni safae dene ki koi jarurat nhi hai phir v ... Raman-phir v kya? sachae toh yehi hai ki you cheated on me. Ishita-sache se toh aap bahut dur ho raman ,jante ho meri sabse bdi galti kya thi ki me apse pyar krne lgi thi r chahti thi aapko hr khushi mile aapko asia head bnte dekhna chahti thi isliye me mani se milti thi taki hum dono milkar sarika ko samjhae ki woh ashok k behkawe me aakar romi pr case na kare.mani ka phone jb v aata ab gussa ho jate the isliye mene uska naam mani se manisha kr diya tha.me janti thi agar mene ashok k is plan k bare me btaya toh aap khud is post se hat jaoge,me nhi chahti thi ki aap itni bdi opportunity miss karo.haa mene mani ko gale lgaya tha lekin sirf ek ahche dost k nate jisne hamesha mera sath diya,r sarika ko case wapas liye samjhaya.yes i love him but just as a friend koi v relation love k bina complete nhi ho skti. Raman -phir tumne yeh kyu kaha ki tum apni beti r pati ko chor k uske pass jana chahti ho. Ishita-majak kr rhe the hum ek dusre k sath ,pr aapko toh wahi samajna tha jo aap samjana chahte the .ek baar v mujse baat krni jarori nhi samjha ya phir bole toh kbhi is layak samjha hi nhi .. Raman-i m sory ishita ,mujse bahut bdi galti ho gae. Ishita-bas!me aapki shakal v nhi dekhna chahti .lekin ek maa apni beti ko kaise chor skti hai isliye me is ghar me rhugi sirf apn beti k liye.
