1st SS-Love doesn't Lessen , Infact it Deepens ch 45 pg 146 note 148 - Page 47

Ishita went to the kitchen and started distracting her mind by cleaning up the kitchen counter but her mind continuously went back to their encounter few minutes back. Finally she cud not take it anymore and tears started flowing out of her eyes. On the other side raman was in no better state, he sat down on sofa and felt guilty for his outburst towards ishita. He also started crying.

Yeh moh moh ke dhaage , teri ungliyon se jaa uljhe

Koi toh toh na laage , kis tarah girah yeh suljhe

Both of them were guilty for their respective behaviours and started feeling that the opposite person was right and they themselves were wrong somewhere. Their guilt flowed out through their eyes in the form of tears.

Hai rom rom ek tara , jo baadlon mein se guzre haaye

Yeh moh moh ke dhaage teri ungliyon se jaa uljhe

Koi toh toh na laage , kis tarah girah yeh suljhe

Ishita sat down on the floor in the kitchen and started remembering her journey wid raman since their first meeting. Her mind went to their wedding , first night, their changing equations, troubles they faced together and finally how they had found true love in each other.

Tu hoga zara paagal tune mujhko hai chuna

Kaise tune unkaha , tune unkaha sab suna

Tu hoga zara paagal tune mujhko hai chuna

Tu din sa hai , main raat aa na dono

Mil jaayein shaamon ki tarah...

Yeh moh moh ke dhaage teri ungliyon se jaa uljhe

Koi toh toh na laage , kis tarah girah yeh suljhe

Raman s emotions were different but not very much. He also retraced their journey but started thinking how he had always misbehaved wid ishita before and after wedding , she had become her punching bag unnecessarily many times, he had doubted her due to her friend mani and hurt her like hell when he broke her trust and ruhi went to shagun. He felt maybe ishita was right in whatever he said today. He was most unfortunate as the woman whom he loved , whom he wanted to give every happiness of the world had suffered the most becoz of him.

Ki aisa beparwah mann pehle toh na tha

Chitthiyon ko jaise mil gaya , ek naya sa pata

Ki aisa beparwah mann pehle toh na tha,

Khali raahein hum aankh moonde jaayein

Pahunchein kahin toh bewajah...

Yeh moh moh ke dhaage teri ungliyon se jaa uljhe

Koi toh toh na laage kis tarah girah yeh suljhe

Ishita and raman had cried their hearts out in these 30 minutes but the reason was not because they themselves were hurt , they had cried because they had hurt the person whom they loved the most. They wanted to be the reason for each other's smiles and they ended up making each other cry so bitterly. That is probably what is called LOVE and TEST OF LOVE AND PAIN IT GIVES. Finally ishita stepped out of the kitchen and moved towards the bedroom , she cud not help herself from stopping by the drawing room and having a look at raman. She saw him sitting by the window and crying bitterly.

Her heart went out to him , a man she knew to be so strong , pillar of strength for his entire family was crying so badly because of her words? That's it? Why? She knew the answer to her why , that man loved her the most and this made him cry and look so weak in front of her but refused to acknowledge it and turned sideways to leave for bedroom.

Her eyes though betrayed her at that moment and tears trickled out of them seeing him cry and just at that moment , raman saw her wiping her tears. This broke him down completely , he cud not see her cry because of him , nopess not at all. He sat down deep in thought thinking what to do next.

Ishita went in to the bedroom and made it ready for the night. She freshened up , changed and was abt to sit on the bed when she saw a paper lying under raman's wallet. It had his feelings written on it for her and those were- I LOVE U ISHITA AND I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WORDS WHICH CAN EXPRESS MY FEELINGS FOR U BETTER THAN THE ONES I HAVE WRITTEN.

She was touched by this and if it was not enough, she saw her photo wid ruhi in his wallet and she sat down on the floor and started crying thinking what should she do next? What decision shld she take? Shld she go back wid him or just shove him away this time forever? She cud not make a decision and left it at her fate.

She silently kept the wallet and page back on the side table and kept sitting on the floor leaning by the bed , sobbing silently till sleep overtook her.

When raman came in after 15 minutes , he saw her in exactly that position. His heart went out to her . he moved towards her and decided to wake her up but then decided against it and gently picked her up in his lap and took her to other side of the bed to make her lie down.

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte , tere bina kya wajood mera

Tujhse juda agar ho jaayenge toh khudse hi ho jaayenge juda

He made her lie down as if she was a soft flower and adjusted pillow under her head and covered her wid blanket. He sat down beside her and started caressing her forehead.

Kyunki tum hi ho , tum hi ho , zindagi ab tum hi ho

Chain bhi , mera dard bhi meri aashiqi ab tum hi ho.

He switched off the side lamp and went to the other side of the bed, touched the portion where her head was leaning and found it soaked completely. His eyes brimmed wid tears again and he went to the washroom.

Aarav and shru had come in just when raman had picked ishita up in his lap and they had seen the entire scene. Shru said- "aarav lagta hai panga ho gaya."

Aarav- "matlab plan flop?"

Shru- " ya looks like it , I think I shld leave , iss bare mein kal baat karenge , ok?"

Aarav- " ya ya its late , tum jao , but I am glad ki chaahein yeh lade , fight ki but baat toh kin a ek doosre se , dat is what matters the most at this time. see u 2moro."

His face had a mature smile of understanding.

Raman came out , saw aarav , greeted him and silently made him ready for bed. No words were exchanged as sometimes silence speaks more than a thousand words. Aarav slept between them and held their hands. Raman meanwhile had his thoughts racing somewhere else. He felt ishita was right , "I will snatch aarav from her if I stay like dis, I will be friendly wid shru and it will hurt her. After whatever I have done , I don't deserve her forgivesness. I shld lessen her pain and worries by doing something."

He raced his mind and then he made a decision , a big decision to be executed the next day and kept thinking abt the repercussions of his decision till sleep overpowered his senses.

Floodgates have opened up and now flood has to come in properly so that there can be peace and tranquility in these 3 lives again.
