It was a stormy night and heavy rain was pouring down...1 week passed away after their marriage but there was no progress in their relationship,she was completely changed after her marriage,she was no more the bubbly,chirpy Ishita whom he knew,she completely became silent...Raman wanted to talk to her,make her comfortable and wanted to see the Ishita whom he knew,he wanted to see his jhansi ki rani back but he never dared to talk to her fearing that she may become more uncomfortable.
Raman entered the house only to find it empty...he got a call as soon as he entered the house
Raman "haan maa ,kaha ho aap?
Toshi ji" puttar mein simmi ko lekar pammi ki yaha aayi hoon unke puttar ka beta hua hain,aaj yahi rahenge"
Raman "tikhe maa aur romi?"
Toshi ji "Romi apne dost ke yaha gaya hain woh kya kehte hai cambined stadies karne"
Raman "combined studies hai maa"
Toshi ji "haan haan wahi aur haan neelu khana banadegi tu aur Ishita kha lena"
Raman "tikhe "
Toshi ji "changa puttar ab mein phone rakti hoon "
Raman "ji"by saying this he cuts the call and goes into his room only to find it empty.he checks the whole room but doesn't find her.He goes down stairs calling her name but no response.he goes to neelu to check whether she is with her
Raman"bhabhi kaha hain ?"in a worried tone
Neelu"woh toh abhi tak nahi aayi"
Raman"nahi aayi matlab,agar woh abhi tak nahi aayi toh tune mujhe bataya kyu nahi?"
Neelu" mujhe laga aapko bhabhi ne bataya hoga"
Raman"par tumhe batana chahiye tha na"shouts raman and by saying this he goes into the hall
Raman "abhi tak nahi aayi? kaha gayi hogi?mein cal karke dekhta hoon"by saying this he calls her
Raman "switched off??,...mihika ko call karta hoon usse patha hoga"
He calls mihika immediately
Raman "pick up the phone...yeh phone kyu nahi utha rahi hain?,...kaha gayi hogi yeh ladki??"
He immediately picks his car keys and starts driving to her college,different bad thoughts were roaming in his mind...he was hell worried for her..he rubbished all his thoughts and drove as fastly as he could.he reached her college
Raman to watchman "2nd year ki Ishita Iyer nikal gayi"
Watchman "Ishita beti,woh toh kab ki chali gayi"

He drives to his house and asks neelu
Raman "bhaabhi aagayi?"
Neelu"haan bhai abhi aayi hain ,upar kamre mein hain"
Raman "Thank god!!!!"he leaves a sigh and a smile plays on his lips but immediately it converts into anger and goes into his room

Raman "mujhe call karke bata toh sakti thi na??"
Ishita "woh actually woh...woh...mere paas aapka number nahi thi"
Raman "number nahi thi????..."he hands her his visiting card and says "yeh lo yeh rakho number aur isse save karlena aur haan agli baar agar tumne aisa kuch bhi kiya toh yaad rakhlene,mujhse bura koyi nahi hoga,,,,ek aur baat kal se tum college mihika ke saath nahi mere saath jaavogi aur mere saath hi aaogi..samjhi???"by saying this he goes from the room but stops in the middle getting a call from mihika.Raman hands it over to Ishita and goes from there

Mihika "ishu???jiju kaha hain??aur waise tujhe kya hua ?itna hot hot kyu lagrahi ho??"
Ishita "tumhare wajah se"

Mihika "ek minute ek minute,tumne ghar mein kisiko inform nahi kiya??mein ne kaha na ki ghar mein kisiko inform karo?"
Ishita "woh mere paas kisika number nahi tha "
Mihika "toh tu raman jiju ka number mujhse pooch leti,mere paas hain unka number"
Ishita "mujhe kya sapna aayega ki tere paas unka number hain?"
Mihika "jo bhi ho ishu galati toh tumhara hi thi,tumhe unko inform karna chahiye tha"
Ishita "ab tu bhi mujhe suna rahi hain?jaa mujhe tujse bast nahi karna"
Mihika "mein tumhe suna nahi rahi hoon balki samjha rahi hoon...ek kaam kar tu jaakar unse masfi mangle"
Ishita "Mihika!!!!!!!unhone mukhe itna daanta aur tum chahti ho ki MEIN unse maafi mangu"
Mihika "haan...kyu ki saari galathi tumhari thi...socho woh kitna pareshaan hogaye honge agar mein teri place mein hoti aur tu jeeju ke place mein hoti toh tu kya karti?daant thi na mujhe??."
Ishita "haan"

Ishita "par"
Mihika "par war kuch nahi,jaakar maafi maang"
Ishita "tikhe"
Mihika "that's like my ishu...tikhe ab mein rakti hoon ...bye"by saying this both of them cuts the call.

He was sitting on the sofa with many files around him,he was reading the files but his mind was not with him
Raman s.t" shaayad mein ne usse kuch jyaada hi daant diya hoga...mujhe usse utna daant na nahi chaahiye tha...par usse bhi mujhe inform karna chahiye tha,paagal aurat" he came out of his thoughts when he heard her voice
Ishita "woh...woh...suniye"
Raman "haan"
Ishita "woh ...woh...mein...mein aapse..."
Raman "kya???"
Ishita "kuch nahi"
Raman s.t"maafi maangni hain lekin muh se shabdh nahi nikal rahe hain,huh"

Ishita "Raman"
Raman "kya???"
Ishita "kaha jaa rahe hain??"
Raman "chaai banane"
Ishita "mein...mein banaadu?"
Raman "chaai aur tum???"
Ishita "haan,mein banadungi"
Raman " tumhe banana aata hain??"
Ishita "haan,usme kaun si badhi baat hain "
Raman "no ways...mein khud banalunga..mujhe itni jaldi marna nahi hain "
Ishita "excuse me!!!!aap kehna kya chahte ho??"
Raman "yahi ki mujhe aur jeena hain"
Ishita "mere chaai peene se koyi marta nahi hain"
Raman "phir bhi mujhe risk nahi lena hain"
Ishita "kuch bhi !!!! Mein chaai bana raha hoon aur aap woh piyenge bas"by saying this she goes into kitchen without listening to him
Raman "aaj toh tu mar gaya beta"
