Thanks for your support. Here's chapter 2.
Chapter 2:
Why is she here? I have no idea how I'll control myself. Her eyes why do they show me pain, hurt? Of course she'll be hurt right when her ex is here. Whatever. She is no one to you Raman. No one to you what a joke? But she is not Raman's Ishita she is Subbu's Ishita. No she can't she be she is only yours his heart scream. How he loves her? But why did she leave? Wasn't his love for her enough? His heart was fighting with his mind.
He fell in love with Shagun in his college. No it wasn't love it was mere attraction but Ishita she was no she is his love, his heartbeat, his every breath. His family gladly accepted her. Wedding preparations were going on he came to know she was cheating on him for Ashok because he was rich. He was broken not because Shagun left him but because the woman he loved betrayed. He changed into a rude, aggressive, short tempered man. He moved to Chennai to work there because he had got a good job there and he didn't want to live in Delhi. So he went there. And there he saw Ishita, his neighbour. They got on a wrong foot. They hated each other so much that any person wouldn't believe these fell in love that pure hatred changed to pure love. I slowly started to see the goodness in her. Then we became friends and finally we fell in love. Those were the magical moments in my life. She supported me every time. I soon became a famous business man. We decided to tell it to our family. But before I tell it she and said she doesn't want me in her life because Subbu wanted her back. Subbu and Ishita loved each other before but he dumped her when they came to know she was infertile. Her Amma brought so many marriage proposals but after knowing her medical condition they rejected her. Frustrated by this she moved to a new apartment from the society. However, there family was there itself. She alone had come. She wanted to become a dentist. Soon, they fell in love but then again he was betrayed and this time it was Ishita and that was a shock. After that he never lived peacefully not even a single night. These past 6 years were so painful to him.
Flashback:
Ishita's room: Raman had come there to see her.
Is- Raman I want to end this relationship now.
Ra- Ishita agar tumhe lagta hai ke tume acche masak karne ate ho to I am sorry it was a very bad joke.
Is- Raman har cheez mazak nahi hoti hai. I am telling the truth.
Ra- pagal hogayi ho kya.
Is- Raman I am serious
Ra- Ishita are you serious?
Is- ha Raman
He held her by her arms. Soon tears were forming in his eyes.
Ra- but why? I am sorry if i have done any mistake but I can't live without you? I'll try to make up for my mistake but don't leave me.
Is- Raman you didn't do any mistake.
She couldn't say further because tears were forming in her eyes. She turned back and gained some courage. She had to do it. She had to do it for his happiness. She knew she'll never stay happy without him but she had to do it. From the past one week she wasn't keeping well so she went to the doctor when she came to know that she couldn't live for more time and may die soon. Her TB of childhood was affecting her. They were unsure when she would die but there was only 10% chance she would survive. She was shocked and the only thought that came to her was Raman. He would be shattered. That is why she took this decision. She even didn't want to tell it to her family because she wanted to live the last moments of her life as a normal human being not as a person who was pitied.
Is- But I don't want to live with you. She mustered some courage and said- because I love Subbu and he is giving me a second chance. So, I don't want to live with you she said in a go.
And that is it Raman left her hand and walked out of the room. She sat there and started crying. She cried like that for hours hoping her fate would change but it didn't.
Flashback ends
After some years she became a successful dentist in Delhi. It was 6 years now and her death date was coming near was all her dentist said her. She was taking tablets but one day she would vanish from Earth.
And then in between all this he is standing here in front of her now.
Destiny- why did it play so cruel games? I never understood. Why is god playing these games with me? She couldn't control, a lone tear rolled down her cheek she wiped them before anyone noticed it. But one man was watching her with anger written all over his face, with rage clearly written in his eyes. She watched those eyes as his expression changed from rage to indifference. He took his hand out of his pockets and forwarded his hand for a handshake.
R- Hi, My name is Raman Kumar Bhalla.
And she was hurt seeing the indifference she couldn't bear it. But what else would he do console her for what she did. No, he would have moved on by now and would be married. She couldn't think of him now. He was somebody's husband right now. She soon masked her emotions and forwarded her hand for handshake.
Is- Ishita Iyer was all she could say as his hand firmly held hers. His touch sent shivers to her. She couldn't think of anything else. She closed her eyes. Her breaths got uneven.
How smooth her hands were. So delicate. How her one touch still effected him so badly. He wanted to hold this hand forever. But she didn't want him to. He smirked at her for still having an effect on her. So, still he effected her. Wait. What did she say she said Ishita Iyer. Iyer. How could it be? Wasn't she married? All these questions were in his mind when Mimi called them to go in.
He was too curious now. Why did she lie to him? This one clue of her not being married gave him an idea that maybe she didn't betray him and there was something else. Because his heart told him Ishita wasn't a person who would betray. Him effecting her proved it. But he didn't give false hopes to his heart and first wanted to know the truth. But for that he wanted some privacy and that's when the host called the couples for a dance. He took it as a chance and asked her for a dance. At first she was hesitant but finally gave when Mihika forced her.
Mihika- tum nehi lagta in dono ke beech kuch he
Mihir- kya? Kya he unke beech mein?
Mihika- tumne ek number ke buddhu ho
Mihir- fine meri maa budhu hu. Ab dance keliye chalogi.
Soon they too joined the dance floor. A slow number was playing.
Ishra were swaying beautifully to the music. Soon Raman pulled her towards him.
R- Aren't you married to Subbu?
Is- That is none of your business Mr. Bhalla
R- Ishita don't get on my nerves.
Is- What did I do Mr.Bhalla?
Soon the song changed to Kabhi Jo Badal Barse. Ishra danced beautifully to the song.(same like in the show). Others moved to see them dance. And MiMi decided to play a cupid for them. The dance ended and they were leaning to kiss each other when the audience claps brought them out of their trance. Soon the party ended.
