1st SS-Love doesn't Lessen , Infact it Deepens ch 45 pg 146 note 148 - Page 30

While raman was still looking at the new guy and ishita talking and laughing and his mind was still asking him the same question , suddenly he was brought out of his reverie by shru who said , "dude kya hua?" and raman cud nt say much but , " nop nothing just like that." The entire day after then raman was watching ishita wid hawk eyes and especially when she was wid the new guy. He had 2 admit he was handsome, charming ,soft spoken ( from what he had heard) , well mannered and sang really well and realizing this his insecurity and jealousy knew no bounds.

He was so pissed off that he cud not pay attention to anything else for entire day till at around 4.30 in the afternoon when he was sitting on the steps which were in corner in the playground that someone approached him saying , " dnt worry , its not what u think man."

Raman turned around and saw the new guy cmng towards him wid an understanding smile and immediately raman put up his guard against the new guy again. He came and sat beside raman saying , " I mean it dnt worry , jot um soch rahe ho waisa nahi hai, ishita ji ko main respect karta hun , that's it."

Raman was bit shocked thinking if his expressions were sooo obvious even to him and said , " hey hold on , just a sec tum kaun ho aur kehna kya chahte ho? Tumhe kya lagta hai ki Mujhe kya lag raha hai? Aur ishita ko beech mein na lao toh achcha hoga tumhare liye."

The guys just extended his hand towards raman for a handshake and just said , "lets start from the beginning , I am Rahul Udyawar (again shahid from paathshala name , sorry) and I have been working wid dis ngo since abt 10 months. And u are raman bhalla ,right?"

Raman understood this was going to be a long convo and eased up a bt saying - " ok hi rahul ,ya I am raman bhalla and sorry for that stupid reaction I just gave u ."

Rahul- "no no dnt worry u have full rights 2 show that reaction ( and he chuckled)

Raman- what ? I didn't get u?

Rahul- oh plz dnt act that nave , u knw what I am talking abt.

When he saw raman being at a loss of words , he continued

Rahul- see raman I know u are ishita ji's husband and whatever u saw since I came in today must have been misleading 4 u but I just wanna tell u dnt worry , waisa kuch nahi hai .

Raman- thanks 4 saying this but u shld know I dnt doubt my wife like that for an unknown guy.

Rahul- I knw and that's gr8 believe me . actually I need to tell u a lot abt ishita ji and dis one year here so may I continue...

Raman understood he cud get to know many unknown things from rahul and he seemed to be a decent guy and smart too so he just said - " go on I am all ears."

Rahul started what he wanted to say- raman , see I met ishita ji around 10 months before when I performed a song for the kids here and..

Raman- so u are a singer really?

Rahul- yesss what did u think ? I am doing this 2 impress ishita ji ? LOL that is not so easy and u might be knowing it better than me right?

Raman- yes yes , continue

Rahul- ok so she convinced me to join dis ngo in a unique way , she told me I cud come in anytime and sing 4 d kids and be wid them for as many days as I like , provided I give my attendance once every month for sure and I agreed as I love kids.

Raman- ok in all this what abt ishita?

Rahul- wait dude I am cmng to that part too. So here it goes , once I stayed here for 4 days and that was a period of time when I got to know ishita ji from the closest. She was amazing at her work so well wid kids , juniors , colleagues and seniors alike and she became the heart of this ngo in just 2-3 months . she was always smiling and happy from outside but I cud see a sadness in her eyes , a longing and one day I got to knw everything abt u and her from shruti . when shruti told me what had happened I was even more mesmerized by her personality. I started observing her more keenly and I got to know what a wonderful woman she is , how much she is suffering from inside and most importantly how much she loves her husband , as in u.

Raman was a bit taken aback and asked- really how can u say the last part so confidently?

Rahul continued- because of what I will tell u now . ishita ji never talked abt u in words wid me or anybody apart from shru but u were always there wid her . I cud see u in her words whenever she subtlely mentioned u to aarav , I cud see u in her actions , trying to teach aarav to be like u while not even telling him that u do it like that, I cud see u in her eyes whenever they had tears or smile listeniing to ur name on news bulletins or in gossip by somebody, I cud see immense love , care , respect , anger , longing , desire , admiration and a multitude of emotions 4 u in her eyes . I just felt u are the luckiest man in the world because ishita ji loves u like no one has ever loved anyone in dis world before. I often wondered her love will be reciprocated but today when I have seen u , I feel no doubts abt why she loves u this much . I just feel u guys are blessed to find each other , just made 4 each other u are .

Raman was quiet as he was in a trance , tears were rolling from his eyes and he cud nt bt curse himself for doing that to ishita becoz of which she had 2 leave him a year before , he said in his mind, " raman teri life ki yeh sabse badi glati thi , aur ab isse tu hi sudharega , apni jkr ko ghar le jaake." When he got back 2 his senses he asked rahul- ishita ka toh theek hai but mere bare mein tum kaise itna samajh gaye?

Rahul- dude I am like that , when I met ishita today , the expressions on ur face said more than half the story of ur love . when I side hugged her , ur expressions were LOL yaar I was wondering if anybody else cud see fumes out of ur ears and nose but nobody cud apart from me as they were meant for me only.

He chuckled out laughing and raman also cud nt help smiling. When they got serious again raman just said sadly- " u knw sometimes I feel as if I am nt worth her , main uske laayak nahi hun."

Rahul said- see I knw ishita ji is one in world , true gem and that's why I call her jee out of respect and admiration but I also strongly feel that there is only one person in the world who knws the true value of that gem and can take good care of it and in ishita ji's case u r that one person raman , u have a heart of gold and moreover ur unconditional love for her will overpower everything else in the world. So dnt think like that just go ahead and get ur girl.

Raman chuckled and when rahul asked him whats so funny he said- my girl looks so cool and cute , btw thanks 4 all compliments . nonone has understood my love 4 ishita better than u have in few hours.

Rahul- of course apart from...

Raman- apart from ishita of course , she knows how much I love her , par hai toh jkr hi na , aise kaise bol de

Rahul - hmm who toh hona hi tha , after all tum bhi to raavan kumar ho na !!

Raman was shocked- tumhe bhi yeh naam pata hai?

Rahul- Mujhe kya yeh naam toh sabko pata hai ki ishita didi , apne husband ko raavan kumar bulate hain

And he cud nt control her laughter while raman was digesting the fact.

Raman- toh madam ne har jagah image ki band baja rakhi hai , kuch kar beta rkb nahin toh tu toh gaya kaam se .

Rahul- hmm jaldi karo aur jaldi jaldi ishita ji ko ghar le jao.

Raman- thanks rahul , I will

Rahul- chal it was nice meeting u , see u , probably after u get back wid ishita next time.

Raman- ya 4 sure , bye c u.

Rahul just turned around and left and as raman saw him leaving he realized rahul had played a cupid for them in just half an hour. It was beginning to get dark as it was 6 in evening , it was 1.30 hours since they were talking and ishita's confused expressions told him she was wondering whats going on out there?

Just then aarav came and said- " dude lets go , we have to go to doctor first 4 ur checkup and then we will head home."

Raman- ya sure lets go.

They went to doctor as they had come in morning, Raman wid shru in car and dis time aarav was there wid him too. Ishita on her scooty as she refused to leave it at ngo for night for obvious reasons.

Something had changed surely- raman was even more determined 2 take his ishita home while ishita was nt really feeling well after seeing raman wid shru for an entire day. She felt dizzy but did not pay heed to it and left for home.

Its nt over yet, dis evening has much more left to come in lives of ishra and aarav after they reach home.

precap- mind u guys i really mean the last line i wrote , dis will indeed be a longg day so be ready 4 d same.

ok so dis is all 4 now. waiting 4 ur reviews.

Love

Shivangi❤️
