Need to Talk

"I Love You Ishita"
Finally he had uttered the wonderful words and she dint even took a fraction of a second to land into her arms and hold him tight as if someone would come and steal him from her or as if he was her precious jewelry...
"I love you too" was all she could utter and started weeping incontrollably. Tears weren't partial enough to flow from her eyes only. He was shedding tears too. But what an irony it was ! They were shedding tears of being absolute. Tears of finding their soul mates and tears of finally being at serenity...
After don't know how long they parted and he touched his forehead with hears rubbing his fingers on her cheeks trying to remove all the tears strands and she rubbed her thumb along his face..
Now both had started to laugh uncontrollably.. They sat together on the couch of the five star which she had exclusively booked for her husband as a token of love and to surprise him on the day of Love. He had tried his attempts to surprise her and now it was her turn to do something for him.
Mihir was a helping hand to send him there. Although he had to bear much of the scolding of his big brother for arranging a random meeting with a random client on the day of love, when he so wanted to spend the time with his wife. But he knew later he would be the only one blessing him the most.. And he was the forever soldier of his bhabhi's gang...
He looked at her and suddenly stopped laughing.. She was looking pure and serene. Her pure heart always reflected in her eyes and her smiling face was the most peaceful site he could see ever. His daughter was right. Her Ishima was an ocean of love.
She looked at him and found him staring at her.. She narrowed her brows to ask him what happened??
He nodded in a No and kept staring at her. She instantly planted a kiss on his cheek which made his eyes widened and he looked at her. She started to laugh again and he looked confused.
Raman:- Whattt??
Ishita:- Like Father.. Like Daughter...
Raman still looked confused.
Ishita:- You know what? I have got the entire cuteness of the globe in the form of two cutest beings in my life.. One is my daughter and other is her father.
Raman:- What the hell ishita? You find me cute?? Please call me anything but cute.. that sounds so feminine..
She made a puppy face and said
Ishita:- Ab ho to ho cute.. Mai kya karu??
(You are cute.. what can I do?)
Raman:- Ishita please.. No cute viyute..
Ishita:- ohkay.. no cute viyute but cutest
She started tickling him and he started to run. She was amused..
Raman:- Ishita stop it.
Ishita:- Raman aapko itni gudgudi hoti hai? Mujhe lifetime ke liye hatiyaar mil gaya..
(Raman you so scared of tickling now I got my weapon for life..)
Raman held both of her wrists and stared at her . She blushed beet root with his intense gaze.. He left her wrists and their eyes were locked..
Raman:- Hathiyaar to mere paas bhi hai..
She snapped out of the moment and realized his trick and tried to move away when he suddenly pulled her into a bear hug and said.
Raman:- I know my affect on you and your on mine is completely unexplainable...and you too aren't unaware of the feelings we share.. Still why did you want to hear the three words?
Ishita looked into his eyes and said
Ishita:- Sometimes its really important to express Raman..
He looked at her with a blank face.. She took his palm and made him sit on the bed and sat next to him.
Ishita:- Talk is the only thing we have never done Raman.. I know I and you have misunderstood each other for n number of times but had we talked for once then the things would have been far better...
Raman sighed and nodded .
She smiled and said
Ishita:- Accha lets make today the day of clearing out all the misunderstandings we had for each other.
Raman:- Oho Boring insaan.. Baato me time kaun waste karta hai??
He moved towards her. She kept her palms on his chest to stop him..
Ishita:- Ravan kumar stop it.. What I want to say is lets start afresh leaving all the black dots cleared in our lives..
Raman:- Means.???
Ishita sighed..
Ishita:- I mean ... you were right and wrong and even I was right and wrong many times but let us talk it out. I mean I want to ask few questions and want to explain my side of story too.. Please...
Raman nodded in disbelief..
Raman:- Pehli aurat dekh raha hoon.. jo itne romantic time me bhi gade murde ukhadne ke liye hatiyaar leke khadi hai. Chalo ab dil diya hai to saari umar sunni bhi padegi tumhari..
(You are the first woman I am seeing who on such a romantic time is adamant in digging the old stone.. anyways.. have given my heart to you so have to follow your orders for my whole life..)
She smiled broadly and held his hand and moved closer.. He ordered two cups of coffee for them and said
Raman:- chalo shuru karo..
(Lets start)
She smiled broader..
Ishita:- Pehli Mulakaat...
(First meeting)
Raman:- you mean when I brought Ruhi to your clinic..
Ishita giggled in her very own style...
Ishita:- You till now think we met first on that day..
Raman looked at her to continue..
Ishita:- see that's why I told you to dig the old stones.. We met beforehand.. the day you returned from Mumbai.. I saw you.. umm not exactly you but a living giant in you.. I thought of you as a biggest corrupted creature..
Raman :- Why??
Ishita:- you don't remember?? the day you bribed the officer for letting you play the loud music.. I was there only..
Raman:- to sach bolo na tumhari nazre nahi hat rahi thi mujhse.. you had never seen a handsome man like me..
He said pulling up his collar.. she hit him playfully
Ishita:- I hated you for that Ravan kumar..
Raman suddenly went into thoughts..
Ishita:- Kya soch rahe ho??
(What are you thinking?)
Raman:- Soch raha hoon kitna badal diya tha zindagi ne mujhe... Tumne mujhe apne aap se milwaya.. pata nahi kaise kiya tumne ye sab?
(Just thinking how life had changed me? You made me meet my old self. How did you manage to do that?)
Ishita looked at him and said..
Ishita:- Accha who din yaad hai jab aap Ruhi ko leke mere clinic me aaye the.. I swear mera mann kar raha tha aapka gala daba doon?
(Do you remember the day you brought Ruhi to my clinic? I swear I was thinking to strangle you right there)
Raman laughed..
Raman :- Wo karne ke liye to tum aaj bhi ready ho..par kyun? Tab to mai apni beti ko leke clinic aaya bhi tha..
(That you can do anytime.. But why? I was there concerned for my daughter..)
Ishita:- really?? When I came outside to look for you , you were busy on phone cribbing about being at a dentist's place at that time leaving all your work..
Raman:- yeah I was so pissed. But Afterwards I said na I couldn't see my daughter in pain.. .
Ishita:- When ?? I dint hear that..
Raman:- to kaam ki baat tum sunti kahan ho?
(when do you hear worth listening things?)
She glared at him...
Ishita:- Kitne akdu the aap.. Murugan... Attitude to aisa jaise saari duniya aapke kadmo pe ho...
(How discourteous and arrogant were you? As if the whole world is at your feet)
Raman:- Oho Madrasan tum kam ho... Tumhe who gundo waali raat yaad hai??
Ishita remembered the night and giggled..
Ishita:- Yesss How can I forget that... Who tufani raat..
Raman:- Thand me madam ki saari haddiyaan hil rahi thi... Par jacket nahi liya gaya.. Ab batao attitude kisme tha?
(you were shivering out of cold but weren't ready to take the jacket.. who was in attitude tell me?)
She looked at hi wide eyed..
Ishita:- aapko apna jacket dene ka tareeka yaad hai??
(Do you remember the way you offered me your jacket??)
He laughed..
Raman:- Thi to tum mere takkar ki..
(You were as tough as me no doubt..)
Ishita:- Accha aapko yaad hai agli baar aap meri clinic kab aaye the??
(Do you remember the second time you visited my clinic?)
Raman:- Off course.. Kaise bhool sakta hoon.. Chuda deke maara tha tumne aur to aur mujhe Prem Chopra bhi bulaya tha..
(How can I forget? You hit me with your bangles and called me Prem Chopra as well)
Ishita smiled wickedly
Ishita:- But Raman us din I saw your pain for the very first time... And your hidden love for your kids...
Raman:- How??
Ishita:- You told me in that state of yours about whatever Ashok told you in the party.. That's why my anger on you for not giving blood to Ruhi reduced a bit.. But again I thought why hadn't you done the test yourself..
Raman:- you know why dint I gave blood to Ruhi.. Coz I dint want to lose her. I thought if she isn't my blood then whole world would get to know she isn't my daughter and they would snatch her away from me.. This is the reason of I not going to do the DNA test as well. I din want to insult the pure father daughter relationship I and Ruhi had.. But again an angel came and took all the misunderstandings away and gifted a long long lecture..
Ishita hit him again..
