PART 7
This Journey..!
Having you in my life
Has made everyday special,
I smile when I have you close
And treasure each and every moment.
Baby, just take my hand
So we can walk together
This journey that we are on
May climb hills, valleys and mountains
But once we're home
We're safe and sound
And together we'll be forever.
He reached their society and sat on a bench not knowing what to do. He was tired of this pain. He felt so suffocated without her. Everything seems to lose their meaning...only if she has been here...!
Tu mude jahan main saath mud jaaun
Tere kaarvan mein shamil hona chahun
Kamiya taraash ke main kaabil hona chahun
Ve ki karaan..
Ve ki karaan..
Ishita remember all their moments where she had hurt Raman just to make others happy. She remember those times when Raman was always with her..no matter what...She never expected any such thing happening in her life.
Why always her...she just hoped that for once Raman will choose her first but seeing his trouble and his pain she can't help but feel terrible for being selfish...She knew she can make Raman happy by giving Adi to him. Maybe he would have been happy when he comes to know about their child too...but no one can fill Adi's place...he is important to him to her...
All her miseries end..when she just thinks that Adi is safe...is with the family...! Ishita just clear her tears and take her mobile...so many calls...so many messages...but she can't reply...she doesn't have it in her..Her all resolutions will fall down if she will talk to him..so its better this way...! she thought.
Raanjhan de yaar Bulleya
Sun le pukaar Bulleya
Tu hi toh yaar Bulleya
Murshid mera, Murshid mera
Tera mukaam kamle
Sarhad ke paar Bulleya
Parvardigar Bulleya
Haafiz tera, Murshid mera (x2)
Raanjhana ve...
Raanjhana ve...
Why only a single moment is all you need to fall in love...No..every time every situation which brought us closer made me fall in love with her all over again...He wished her to be his first love...he thought...in a way she is...Shagun never made him feel like he is good enough...but She did...she was different...!
With all these thoughts he slept on the bench itself. It was a very long night for him. Losing everything in one moment is too painful. He did not know why she took such a drastic step but he had felt something was off with her...something was not right...he knew she is hiding something...but now all he could do was miss her...yearn to see her...feel her...be with her...! He could just not pin point anything that had happened which changed her drastically.
Well...falling in love has never been so easy..! And with this madrasan ..it has never been easy on him...she was hard to love...but he knew...anyway he loved her.!
Jis din se aashna se do ajnabi huve hain
Tanhaiyon ke lamhe sab multavi huve hain
Kyun aaj main mohabbat
Phir ek baar karna chahun
Haan...
It was in morning when Ishita woke up with the sudden rays of sunlight on her face. She wished to see Raman first thing in the morning. And as she turned around she could see nothing but an empty bed. A tear of drop fell down from her eyes seeing the void that had engulfed her for the rest of her life.
How she wished to open her eyes in his arms. How she wished to be with her family right now but sometimes everything does not go the way you want.
"Ishu...You are okay..? Come have breakfast with me..! We have a flight to catch in evening.." Mani entered in her room breaking her trance.
"Mani...Actually I was thinking of not going with you for now..." She said looking at him.
Mani didn't uttered a word for a minute but then she continued "don't take me wrong Mani...but right now all I want is to be alone somewhere..but I don't want to leave Delhi..I want to be near my family..."
"Ishu..I can understand..it's very hard to leave everything behind and move forward...but I am not asking you to forget these people and move on...but then so much have happened in the last days...these days were so stressful on you...and I can't see you in this state..do you have any idea how much harm it will cause to your baby...you always wanted a baby...then now...why are you not understanding Ishu..." Mani said while holding her arms and making her understand.
"Mani...I know what are you saying...this baby is a blessing to me ...I can't even think of harming my baby in anyway...But Mani...Raman is the father ...how can I snatch away his rights over this baby..he still deserves to know Mani...And I want to tell him..."
Mani sighed in helplessness, this lady is not listening to him.
"Okay...do whatever you want...but listen to me..I had thought of not telling you this...but Bala called me in morning and he knows that you are with me..."
Ishita looked surprised as of how he knew when she didn't told anyone where she is. She looked at him for answers when he replied "umm..when you felt unconscious and I took you from there he saw us that time. That's how he knows you are with me..."
She nodded and was about to turn around when he continued "Ishu listen to me...Bala told me whatever happened over there after you left. Adi had indeed taken your side and no one is trapped in Shagun's drama over there...but Shagun had warned them that she will not leave anyone of them...especially you..!"
Mani..I know Adi ...I have seen in his eyes how hurt he was with Shagun's words and I believed he will do the right thing"
"Ishu..look...Bala had asked me to take you away from here for sometime. Shagun is burning in anger and she could harm you if she will find out about this baby."
Ishita was surprised to hear this from him. She could not expect anything less from Shagun.
"Ishu...I will not force you...but whatever I was doing was for this baby...I want to protect this baby until Raman comes to know about it...Think about it Ishu.."
He left from there leaving Ishita in deep thoughts. She didn't know what to do but surely Mani was not wrong. She wanted to be with him, but for a while it will be good to keep a distance from her family. Not that she is being selfish, but she wants to protect this baby for Raman...for ruhi...who wanted his own daughter and her own sibling to come into the world.
Ye dil toh dhoondhta hai inkaar ke bahane
Lekin ye jism koi pabandiyan na maane
Milke tujhe, bagaawat khud se hi yaar karna chahun
Mujhme agan hai baaki aazma le
Le kar rahi hoon khud ko main tere hawale
Ve Raanjhna...
Ve Raanjhna...
Ishita kept thinking for hours but all she wanted was to be with Raman. She wanted to go near her family and be with them. She became so restless that she did not thought for another second and went to the terrace thinking about her moments with him filled with love and happiness. She doesn't know when her life will stop being so hard on her and let her live with him.
Raanjhan de yaar Bulleya
Sunle pukaar Bulleya
Tu hi toh yaar Bulleya
Murshid mera, Murshid mera
Tera mukaam kamle
Sarhad ke paar Bulleya
Parvardigar Bulleya
Haafiz tera, Murshid mera (x2)
Murshid mera, murshid mera...
Raman was sitting on the bench not knowing where to go. He was so heart broken that he just can't stop crying. Bala was watching him from afar. He couldn't help but feel bad for him. He wanted Ishita and Raman to be happy and he wanted to protect Ishita too but he knows they can't live without each other.
He went near him and said "Raman..."
He kept his hand on his shoulder giving him emotional support.
"Raman...I know where Ishu is..." Raman stared at him for a while. He cleared his tears in haste and asked Bala desperately... "Where is she...tell me Bala..please...I have searched for her everywhere...please tell me where is she...please...I am dying to see her..."
"Raman relaxed...um..actually when she came out of the house...she was about to faint and before i could have reached to save her Mani took her along with him..so she is fine ..please calm down.."
Raman's heart drowned hearing that she fainted. He was panicking thinking what would have happened.
"Bala.I knew something was not right with her...please Bala...please take me to her..I want to see her...I am dying to hold her in my arms...I can't let her go away like this..I can't..please/..."
"Okay Raman...relax..I will take you to her..."
Bala knew there is no other way then letting him meet her. He drove away to Mani's house. Bala was not sure if he was doing the right thing or not...but he knew, that this is all he can do for them. He was scared due to Shagun's threat but he knew they will eventually work this out.
The utmost important person who is going to suffer is that baby...that baby is a dream come true for Ishita and Raman, rest can be taken care of later. He want Raman to deal with Ishita himself. Maybe if he will tell Raman about the baby..things can turn better or maybe worse.
They reached Mani's house. Bala stopped the car in the driveway and shook Raman out of his thoughts. Raman seemed to be thinking about Ishita. He was looking stressed but a hope of getting Ishita back can be felt through his eyes.
Raman moved out and made his way towards the house where as Bala called Bhalla house and said "Adi...i want you to do something for your Ishima and Papa.."
*****
"Ishita...Ishita.." Raman came inside shouting her name all desperate to see her.
Mani came out from his room and said "What's all this Raman...what are you doing here..." Mani asked getting irritated by his presence. He knew Raman means alot to Ishita but what he has done with her, he just could not forgive him like that.
"Mani...where is Ishita...I want to see her...I am here to take her with me...Ishita..Ishita..." Raman again started shouting her name and went to search her everywhere.
"Raman..stopp.." Mani was about to go and get a hold of him to stop him but Bala interrupted him "Let him go Mani..I brought him here...He needs her...please let them be.." Bala tried to make him understand.
"What's this Anna..in morning you told me to take her away from all the mess, and now you bring Raman here..." Mani said feeling angry.
"Mani...i told you to let this matter rest...i wanted Ishita to be away from this mess, but seeing Raman in this condition I can't just let this happen. They need each other, and then the baby..Ishita needs Raman to be her support. How can we separate them like this.."
Mani shrugged his shoulders, but he knew Bala was right. So not probing the topic much they waited for them.
*******
Raman searched everywhere for her when his steps halted near the terrace. He saw a figure standing there all lost. His heart started pounding seeing her in front of his eyes.
He made his way towards her and stood behind her but he was not able to muster up the strength to call her name. He stood like a statue but he can feel her presence which was soothing his nerves.
Ishita felt Raman's presence around. First she thought it to be a dream but she had felt him calling her name. She without wasting even a second turned around to see him standing there. He is here...he is here...her heart shouted in happiness. The moment stirs up there. It felt, like it has been ages since they have last seen her.
Do Pal Ruka Khwabon Ka Karvan Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahan Hum Kahaan
They were just looking at each other. They were not sure that if it is a dream or reality but they did not wanted it to end. Everything they had been through these days were now nowhere bothering her. Suddenly Raman felt a need to touch her, to make his heart believe that she is indeed there. But alas he was scared if she disappeared.
They both took a step towards each other and finally Raman took her in his arms. Tears were falling from his eyes wetting Ishita's neck. Ishita too was crying but she was too happy to have him here.
Do Pal Ki Thi Yeh Dilon Ki Daastaan Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan
Both were so lost in each other that they didn't realise, it has been a while they were standing like this. Ishita was feeling weak on her knees but she knew she has him near her for supporting her.
Thy drew apart while Raman held her cheeks, caressing them and said "Pagal madrasan...you have proved me today...that you don't have anything like brain..how dare you ...you left me alone..and never came back..."
Tum The Ke Thi Koi Ujli Kiran
Tum The Yaa Koi Kali Muskayi Thi
Tum The Yaa Sapnon Kaa Thaa Saavan
His pain was reflected in his voice. Ishita couldn't help but chuckle at his complain.
"Ohh..so I was the one who left hann...and who asked me to leave the house...huh...every time you do this...gussa gussa aur bohot saara gussa..."
"Oye madrasan...its you who always provoked me...why you do this...why you have to be a godmother to everyone...Can't you just focus on me..." Raman said continuing the banter.
"Focus on you...Oh really,...you don't even listen to me...why should i focus on you...you just have to fight with me..thats it...''
"it's always you who starts the fight...not me...and why would you focus on me...you have that Shani with you...huh...what is it with him...of all the people you are here..in his house...I hate him.."
"OMG...Jealous Ravan Kumar hann...but kitni kud kud krte ho..."
"Madrasan dekh...don't dare call me Raavan Kumar infront of our daughter..." With that he kept his one hand over her tummy and caressed with all his love towards both of them..
"Raman..' she whispered, tears brimming in her eyes.
"ssshhh...I know about our baby Ishita...why did not you told me this before...this is the moment i was waiting for...!"
"I am sorry Raman...I shouldn't have hide this...but if i had told you about it before...then you wouldn't have let me accept Shagun's conditions to keep Adi with us..." She sobbed silently making his heart flutter at her selfless nature. What this woman is made up of..?
Tum The Ke Khushiyon Ki Ghataa Chaayehe Thi
Tum The Ke Thaa Koi Phool Khilaa
Tum The Yaa Milaa Thaa Mujhe Nayaa Jahaan
"Ishita...if you would have told me about our baby before...we could have make this work together. We could have worked against Shagun together ...but you choose to hide it from me...I had almost lost you today...!"
They both cried in each other's arms. Moments passed and their tears subsided as they felt the warm of the other close to them.
Raman asked her to come back home which she gladly accepted. She was missing her house..her family alot. She wanted to feel at home...!
Do Pal Rukaa Khwabon Kaa Kaarvaan
Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan
Do Pal Ki Thi Yeh Dilon Ki Daastaan
Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan ... (2)
They both moved out of the house. They sat in their car happily. They were contented finally going back home together. The distance what seems like eternity to them will finally be finished. They will be a happy couple again...They will live with their children and their dramebaaz family. They will live their dream of becoming a parents again.
Raman started the the car and drove out of the house to the empty roads of Delhi. It was a pleasant evening without much noise of traffic. Both were stealing glances at each other and smiling like there is no tomorrow. Both of their hands were entangled with each other feeling solace in each other's touch.
Tum The Yaa Khushboo Hawaon Mein Thi
Tum The Yaa Rang Saari Dishaaon Mein The
Tum The Yaa Roshni Raahon Mein Thi
"Ramannn...stop the car..." She shouted abruptly startling Raman...His hand automatically reached for her stomach so that sudden break won't harm their babt and her.
"Ishita...what is with you..are you mad...why you shouted like that...if anything would happen to you and baby..then...how irresponsible you can be hann..?"
She pouted and said "I want ice-cream na Raman...no...baby wants to eat blueberry ice cream..." She said with sparkle in her eyes. Raman couldn't help but kiss her lips which seems to be tempting him alot.
She blushed at his PDA in public. and before he could have stopped her she got out of the car and was crossing the road to reach the ice cream vendor.
Tum The Yaa Geet Goonje Fizaaon Mein The
Tum The Mile Yaa Mili Thi Manzilein
Tum The Ke Thaa Jaadoo Bharaa Koi Samaa
Raman smiled and followed her when suddenly his eyes drifted towards a car coming in full speed. He became numb. Ishita happily turned around to see him numb and staring in other direction.
She followed his gaze and saw a car approaching her. Before she could have reacted the car hit her hard and she flung in air getting unconscious on the road with blood oozing out of her wounds.
"Ishitaaa..." raman shouted and ran towards her.
"Raman.." She breathed her last breath with his name.
Do Pal Rukaa Khwabon Kaa Kaarvaan
Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan
Do Pal Ki Thi Yeh Dilon Ki Daastaan
Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan
Aur Phir Chal Diyeh Tum Kahaan Hum Kahaan ... (2)
