Prologue:

Ishita was coming out of the elevator with her husband in tow. He was drunk and not in halat of walking. While coming out, she ran into a frantic raman trying to pacify a crying 6 month old ruhi. Raman was panicking as ruhi kept crying for last 30 min. so he decided to take her to emergency room.

They both stop for a moment and look at each other.

Raman and ishita lived in the same buiding, next door to each other. Raman with ruhi and Ishita with Ashwin. They have a cordial relationship like neighbors have. Ishita is a quiet type while raman is always either working or taking care of ruhi.

This is not the first time raman has seen ishita carrying her drunk husband in. but this time, something in her eyes was telling him that she is at the brink of her sanity. She is about to either kill or be killed.

But seeing a wailing ruhi, ishita's demeanor changes. She looks at raman with sympathy.

"aap aayiye next door, mein madad kar sakti hoon."

"it's ok. I am taking her to her doctor."

"Don't worry. I am a pediatrician myself. I can show you my certificates if you like?

Raman not wanting to wait any longer, hands ruhi in her arms and helps support ashwin on his shoulders and follows her to her door.

After entering, ishita points him to her bedroom, raman plops ashwin on their bed and walks back to the living room. He sees ishita giving ruhi something from her medicine box and he panics and rushes to ruhi and yells.

"What are you giving to my daughter?"

Ishita shows him a medicine bottle for colic pain.

He relaxes and apologizes.

"Sorry. Woh, she is my only child"

"relax" and she surns towards the wall and shows him her doctor certificate to assure him she knows what she is doing.

"it is my job Mr. _______"

"raman"

"Hun"

"my name is raman and this is ruhi"

"oh, sorry, I am ishita." "hi little ruhi. Aap abhi thik ho javonge."

Raman turns towards her bedroom and she understands what he means.

"That is my husband, Ashwin."

Ashwin stirs and starts yelling.

"Sali banj kahiki. Muje to bacha de nahi sakti aur dusro ke bacche thik karne chali hai."

Ishita is embarrassed and raman is felling awkward.

She hands him now "not crying" ruhi and raman understands she wants him to leave.

"raman, take this medicine, feed it to her every hour and rub her belly. She will be able to sleep and so will you."

"thank you ishita"

He leaves. Ishita closes the door and slids down, hugging her knees, starts crying out loud.

Raman while leaving, hears her wails and feel bad for the poor woman.

So this is how Ishita and Raman's hurting and healing journey started.

In this tale, you will see how both of this hurt souls come together to heal each other. Some graphic language will be used. So weak hearts, please stay away.

Chapter 1: Ishita's life

Two years ago, right after getting married, Ashwin and Ishita moved to Delhi from Chennai because Ashwin had landed a nice job. And Ishita had finished with her MD in Pediatric surgeries and care. Within first couple of months, Ishita too landed a job in a prestigious Delhi hospital.

Life was going great for both of them. Within six months, they moved into Mayur Vihar and purchased their apartment. Ishita was very happy and content with her life. She wanted to work at the hospital, gather enough experience and open her own Pediatric clinic. That was her dream.

Ashwin did not have any big aspirations career wise. He was happy with his job. His dreams were of having a family with Ishita. Having kids roaming around his house, all chirpy and energetic. He knew of Ishita's dream, but somewhere he ignored of hers to fulfill his. He had an ulterior motive into this. He knew h wasn't as good looking as Ishita and will never be as successful as Ishita could be. And he felt jealous. He wanted to bind ishita into household works and kids. He wanted to chop off her wings and make her the typical housewife, who he can rule and order around.

After a year into the marriage, Ashwin had asked Ishita about starting a family. Even though Ishita protested saying "it's been only a year." Or "I want to focus on my career." Or "let's settle down first, than we can have as many kids as you want." But Ashwin was adamant. This situation has stirred the peace of her home. It all started out with arguments, small one and then as time went by, things started escalating. Ishita is trying to get their life under control spent a lot of time at work and dedicated her life to the pediatric department. The hospital had realized her true potential and had promoted her to the head of that department.

This development in Ishita's career brought in new sets of troubles in her married life. Ashwin started verbally abusing her about how she never respects him or his wishes because she makes more money than him. That she doesn't care about him or this house. No matter how much ishita would do for him or the house, it would never be enough for him.

Ishita stuck out with him. He was her husband. She would call her Amma and cry her heart out. Her amma and appa are very conservative and rudimentary. They did not want ishita to defy her husband and fulfill his wish of having a baby.

Ishita was tired of all of the happenings in her married life. She wanted peace. So she decided to agree with him. For Ashwin and ishita, having sex was only for making a baby. Ishita felt like she was being forced to have sex with him, so she can fulfill his wish. Ashwin did not want to see anything beyond his male ego and his urge to bind ishita to him forever. After 6 months into trying, she wasn't getting pregnant. So they decided to visit the doctor.

That is when ishita's life changed forever. She had discovered that since she is at the age of 30, she has developed a condition call PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome, google it if you want more details). Ishita being a doctor herself knew of the condition and of it being treatable. But Ashwin being a backward, half educated man did not believe her or the doctor.

He started his torture on her. His behavior with her started worsening. One night, it started with a verbal argument and when ishita answered him back, he slapped her so hard than her mouth started bleeding. She had his finger marks on her cheeks.

She wanted to leave his ass at that very first instant. But she knew she can't go back to her parents. They would never accept her. Society will tag her as a rejected woman. She still had a job here. But no one to support her. She felt all alone. She did not know anybody in Delhi even though she has been here for 2 years. Ashwin had strictly kept her from making any friends. Her solace was her work. She would just soak herself in her work that she would forget her pain. Buy as 6 o'clock rolls around every day, she would dread going home. This place wasn't her home anymore. It was just a house.

Ashwin had resorted to drinking. He had lost his job and now dependent on her. She felt responsible for him. Often she would go to nearing bars to fetch her husband, all passed out either inside the bar or outside after they would throw him out.

Every time, she would bring him home and he would get angry at her. So far, he had bitten her, had forced her to have sex with him, had called her names. But ishita stuck around, bruised, hurt, she would take care of him.

May be, just may be things will change once he sees her dedication towards him. That was her only hope.
