Part 2:
" Excuse me gentlemen" Raman strode out of the meeting room.
"Bhai! Bhai!" Mihir followed him out of the room.
***
Vandu: "Ishu! bas kar yaar! Raman ko to tu jaanti hai..tension mein usse kitna gussa aata hai. Hogi business mein koi problem yaar."
Ishita: "But akka.."
Vandu: " Wo us din tu bata rahi thi naa ki uska koi naya project shuru hone wala hai. Isliye wo pareshaan hoga. Aur Ruhi ka custody case bhi to reopen hua hai court mein..to uska ye sab reaction natural hai."
Ishita: "Akka main jaanti hoon.. but Ruhi ke case ke liye to wo bahut strong hain andar se..infact unhone mujhe kitna sambhala hai. But ab suddenly mere liye itni rudeness kyun? Mujhe to kuch samajh mein nahin aa raha akka"
Vandu: " Ishu tu tension mat le. Raman tujhse bahut pyaar karta hai, hum sabko dikhta hai. Aur tu bhi ye baat jaanti hai. So just relax. I m sure sab jaldi theek ho jaayega"
Vandu held Ishita's hands assuringly. "Hmmm..thanks Akka" Ishita nodded.
***
Despite all assurances from Vandu Akka, things were not changing for Ishita. Raman continued to maintain his rude demeanor. She tried her best to gather his interest to talk to her, but all her efforts in vain everytime. His continued insolence was killing her from inside. 2 days passed.
Ishita stopped Raman on the way as he headed to the main door to leave for office. He hadnt taken his breakfast today too.
" Ye halwa taste kijiye naa Raman, maine specially aapke liye kishmish daalke banaya hai..aaj aapka naya project start ho raha hai na! Usi ki khushi mein" Ishita spoke raising her hand to feed him, her eyes full of hope.
In a blow Raman pushed her hand away, the spoon landed on the the floor with the halwa spilt all over.
Raman: " Maine kaha naa tumse, apni manhoosiyat door rakho mujhse! Aur baar baar ye bachkaani harkatein karna band karo tum"
And without looking at her once again he headed straight out.

Ishita was sitting on her clinic chair with her head down on the desk.
Sarika: "Ishita mam"
Ishita raised her head up.
Sarika: "Mam main subah se dekh rahi hoon aapki aankhen sooji hui hain! Aap ro rahe ho?"
Ishita: "Arey nahin kal raat ko main theek se soyi nahi. bas. Tum bolo, koi patient aaya hai kya?"
Sarika: "Nahin Mam aapka ye courier aaya hai"
Ishita: " Courier? Dikhao mujhe.."
Sarika left the room. Ishita opened up the courier to find a letter and some legal papers.
And then her heart sank, she starred at the papers in disbelief.
"Divorce papers." her voice choked. Without even her realising, tears had started gushing down her face, she realised only when she saw those tear drops wet the papers in her hands.
Her hands trembled as she took out Raman's letter to read it.
I dont think I can live with you anymore Ishita. We are not meant for each other. Infact I love somebody else.Please sign these divorce papers. It will be only for our good. Ruhi's custody case is in court, you can keep her if I win the case.
***
Raman sat down in a corner of his cabin's floor. His eyes were swollen, he made loud sobbing noises as he cried his heart out.
"I am sorry Ishita, I am sorry" he spoke, wiping his tears non-stop as he made loud, convulsive gasps.
He remembered the deal he made the other day with Shagun.
"Raman, Agar tum chahte ho ki main Ruhi ki custody ke liye ladna chod doon, to tumhe Ishita ko divorce dena hoga "
"Ye kya bakwaas hai Shagun!"
"Main bakwaas kar rahi hoon? Bakwaas to tum sab logon ne ki hai meri shaadi tod kar. Un dono Iyer behno ne meri life barbaad kardi. Aur vaise bhi,jab meri life mein itna dukh hai to main tumhe kaise khush rehne de sakti hoon?"
"Shagun!"
Ishita's memories were squirming non-stop in his mind..their wedding, their moments with Ruhi,their nok-jhoks, every initiative of hers to take care of and save his family members; their first hug, the first time he kissed her, karwachauth moments, the rain dance, the Kya moment..
but then there was no escape from all those uncontrollable elements of his life that constantly hurt her- Param, Adi, Shagun, Ashok, Suraj.. with no fault of hers..
"I am sorry Ishita. Main jaanta hoon main tumhe bahut dukh de raha hun. Dukh hi to diye hain maine tumhe shuru se. Is shaadi se tumhe kabhi koi faayeda nahi hua, infact maine tumhe sirf use kiya hai apne matlab ke liye hamesha.Pata nahin kyun itna pyaar karti ho tum mujhse iss sab ke baad bhi."
" Ab isse pehle ki tumhari life mein aur dukh aayein, isse pehle ki mujhe tumhari itni aadat pad jaaye ki main tumhare bina jee hi na paaon, its best ki hum ye rishta khatam kar dein" he spoke trying his best to take charge of his state.
"Bhai" he heard a knock on the door.
***
"What nonsense is this" Ishita sobbed, she tore the letter into pieces, her hands still shaking.
"Main nahin maanti! Nahin maanti main is sabko!" she shouted, her voice quivering.
" Bahut karli aapne apni mann maani Raman! Main aisa nahin hone doongi..Kuch nahin hone doongi main!"

Ok so guys I am sorry I am totally taking the ektaish route.. almost similar to d show 😳 Kya karoon, i am hugely inspired by ekta shows, I hv been only watching them 😆 I know this not one of my best writings.. kya karoon exam pressure+ ishra fever is deadly! My apologies if I am disappointing you.
The next part its gonna be a mix of emotion, romance and comedy. Rather I wanted to finish it off in this part itself, but the part would have become too long.
Also, I need to respond to your comments guys, will do so ASAP.
