Chapter-7
KI-I-ISS YOU"Ishita..."
Raman called her softly waking her up from the light slumber she was in. Looking at him doubtfully for a second she thanked him for dropping her. He was stunned to see her changed behaviour. He couldn't pull back from asking her if he could come along. Nodding affirmatively she walked towards the huge entance of the hospital.
"What can I do for you ma'am?" The receptionist girl smiled warmly mistaking them to be a couple.
"Dr Ragav...I want an appointment with Dr Ragav." Ishita said nervously.
In no time Raman jumped in to take the matters in his hands. He asked Ishita not to disclose her identity for reasons only he knows. He introduced her to the receptionist as his wife without even waiting for her approval.
"Main apni biwi keliye aya hun..." Raman said glancing sideways at Ishita in a double meaning.
[I came for my wife]
Earning a giggle from the receptionist he circled his arm around Ishita's shoulder. But nothing worked in making her comfortable. In fact, she became more tensed!
"Sare basic blood test karna hoga sir. Because we looks for physical health first." Receptionist smiled cheekly showing a sheet stating that it will be costly.
[Every basic blood test should be done]
Raman smiled back in the same way faking that he is okey with it.
Leaning a bit forward he asked the receptionist in a low tone without letting Ishita hear anything, "Credit cards...?"
"Sorry sir...cash only" The receptionist crinkled her nose.
He cleared his throat and looked at Ishita whilst rubbing his nose thinking of a way to pay the bill. She was nowhere there but in thoughts. Asking the receptionist to take her blood samples he ran out of the hospital to the nearby bank. When he came back he saw Ishita standing there fidgeting with her duppatta.
"Kya hua?" He asked while panting after his marathone.
[What happened?]
"Voh...mere paas sirf credit cards hai..." She informed while taking a glass of water to make him drink from the counter.
[I've only credit cards]
"Don't worry...I...I...have money with me..." He assured while drinking.
"See Mrs Bhalla...apke results ten minutes pe aajayenge..." The receptionist told Ishita while Raman stood beside her holding her in possession. She didn't mind. Though she felt uneasy in his proximity.
[Your results will be up in ten minutes]
They spend half an hour pacing in the corridor and talking nonsense. She felt a little comfortable with him. To say, he made her comfortable with him in all sense. They entered the doctor's consultancy only to be welcomed by Dr Shagun Raghav, Raman's childhood friend. The date with a psychiatrist was a light one owing to the friendliness Raman shared with Shagun. Ishita relaxed a little. It has been an hour that she is here disclosing each and everything regarding her condition; of course censored!
"Miss Iyer...I know you're brave enough to face the truth. I mean...apne joh bhi kaha...voh sab schizophrenia ke symptoms hai...But you don't need to worry...hum treat kar sakte hai." Shagun explained.
[Whatever you told are the symptoms of schizophrenia. We can treat it]
"Lekin...yeh toh...I mean it...happens because of some trauma..." Raman intervened.
"You mean PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)? Well Raman...it's not necessary that every case do have the same reasons. And maybe yes. But she don't remember her past. It's been erased completely!" Shagun tried to prove.
Ishita looked on in utter shock hearing it. However Shagun and Raman continued to talk casually on the disease. She couldn't collect herself to talk. Her only concern was Raman. If it is the case of her mental health, whatever Raman said was true. It is she who is unable to make out or remember the reality, the real relationship she shares with this stranger. She felt nauseous again.
"Dr...I need to take in this...we'll come tomorrow..." Ishita informed Shagun and looked at Raman. Shagun jumped in asking him to stay for a while. Raman asked Ishita to wait outside politely. She left the place after letting out a loud sigh.
"Bolo Shagun...kya hai?" Raman asked impatiently.
[Tell me what?]
"Kya?" Shagun crinkled her eyebrows.
[What?]
"Oh common Shaggy...kal dekha tha nah tujhe...tab kuch nahin tha bolne ko...ab achanak kya hua...I know it's about Ishita. Is she alright?" He was tensed but talked in a joking way.
[I met you yesterday. You didn't have anything to say last day what happened so soon.]
"You're right. It's about her. She's perfectly fine." Shagun said keeping aside the pen.
"W*F!!! Are you out of your mind you Mad Doc? She is not fine. Agar aise hote toh...voh mujhe kaise bhool sakta hai? You know what...we had...had s*x and she don't remember that! How ridiculous!!! And you're saying she is perfect!!!!" Raman got agitated.
[If that's the case how can she forget me?]
Shagun made him sit down and tried to calm him, "Cool...just relax...let me say...I mean...It's clear in her blood results that she is a drug addict. And whatever happening is because of its over dosage... Maine use jhoot bola kyunki...she may feel offended and she has suicidal tendency. I'm telling the truth. Try to understand."
[I lied to her because...]
"She is not that type of a girl..." Raman said miserably.
"You know her that much?" Shagun asked naughtily.
L
"More than anything..." He smiled slyly.
"Then it's a serious case. Maybe someone is drugging her without her knowledge." Shagun pointed.
"Kaun ho sakta hai?" Raman's tone changed to anger.
Shagun felt nervous under his scrutinizing gaze as if she is the culprit. She laughed at his changed character and pointed at Ishita who is waiting outside for him. He looked at her through the tranparent mirror door. A smile adorned his lips while Shagun looked on in awe at him.
"I can't let her forget me..." He mumbled dreamily looking at Ishita. Shagun placed a hand above his assuringly saying, "We can work it out."
Shagun looked at the receding form of her best friend and patient. She was pleasantly shocked to realise that Raman is indeed in a committed relationship. Her chain of thoughts halted with the constant ringing of her mobile.
"Hello..." Shagun's voice shivered seeing the caller ID.
Stranger: "Kya kaha Ishita se?"
[What did you say to Ishita?]
"Joh apne bolne ko kaha." Shagun replied.
[As you said]
Stranger: "Raman Bhalla kya kar rahe the uske saath?"
[What was RKB doing with her?]
"He is her saviour. You can't do anything now." Shagun saud confidently checking her surrounding to see if someone is stalking her.
Stranger: "Toh tune us Attitude Bhalla ko sab kuch bata diya???"
[So you told him everything]
"We hadn't had a deal on that" Shagun mocked.
Stranger: "So here we go...you are not supposed to talk about it to anyone...especially that Raman Kumar Bhalla. I know you won't do it. Agar kuch kiya toh...pata hai teri bachi ko nahin chidunga main."
[If you dare I won't leave your daughter]
"Haan...main...kisise kuch nahin bolungi...promise. Bas...meri Ananya ko kuch nahin hona chahiye." Shagun said intimidated.
[I won't tell anyone but Ananya should be safe]
Stranger: "That's like my good girl"
********************************************
"Raman..."
Ishita called him making him look at her sideways while driving.
He couldn't help ask her what his heart yearned to hear, "Tum...mujhe Ram nahin bula sakte kya?"
[Won't you call me Ram?]
Her eyes welled up in no time. The realisation of
being his hit her hard. She sunk her teeth in her lower lip chewing it to suppress her tears in vain.
"Don't do that to me again...when I'm not in...my senses..." She literally pleaded.
"I didn't know. I'm sorry...I won't do it...again..." His voice throbbing.
She looked away to hide her teary face. He looked on at her making the car go out of his control. He put a sudden break on it before it could hit a roadside hotel.
"Kuch khate hai...?" Raman proposed.
[Eat something?]
"Coffee" Ishita whispered while getting out of the car, the door of which was open to her by him.
They stood in the shade of a tree and sipped the hot and sweet coffee with a little bitterness; like their relationship. An awkward silence lingered in the air as they kept on stealing glances at each other.
"Chalein?" Raman asked after paying the bill for which she just walked up to the car.
[Let's go?]
When the car stopped in the parking lot of the Iyer mansion he felt like their journey together is going to end there. She is going to go away from him. Her plea not to do what he did to her is a sign that she is going to sideline him as a mistake of a night. He felt like tasting his own blood when she was about to open the door to get out.
"Ish...for a last time...I...want to kiss you" He said stuttering fearing her rejection.
The door was half open. Her left leg already touched the ground as she leaned a bit to get out. She stared at him in disbelief making him close his eyes in embarrassment.
"Sorry...I was..." He started to apologize but stopped watching her closing the door then the spaces between them.
He took in a deep breath and kept it in between his throat and nose not knowing how to exhale and continue the process normally when her hands travelled to caress his broad chest. She leaned forward to grant his wish. Her hot breath fanned the groove between his upper lip and nose when she kissed his chin. Her stomach became rigid and breathing hitched when his hhands began to stroke her waist.
He looked at her lips for a long moment when she slightly closed her eyes melting in his arms. Lightly pecking her lips he deepened the kiss while she responded relishing his sweetness. Breathless, they should stop it or else they will explode in passion. But their lips were all in writing an all new story. Her hands were all over him while he longingly kissed down to her chin and throat. She moaned in pleasure while tilting her head giving more access to him. He pushed her against the door and leaned over her trailing kisses down her neckline.
"Raman..." She moaned his name when he began to nibbled her molds with his lips.
He stopped abruptly hearing her voice. An unusualness was there. It was not the girl with whom he made love. It is someone else. Just a stranger who don't even know him. The girl who came to him was so sweet and desirable for her love for him. But this is someone else who loves someone else who is not him for sure.
"Ram..."
She moaned his name when he relished her delisious body with his lips. She pulled his hair and made him look at her thereby making him leave her delicate orb from his mouth.
"Kya hua baby...?" He voiced thickly while pressing himself above her.
[What happened baby?]
She caressed his hair and mounted one of her legs making him stay closer to her in all sense.
"I'm feeling like I'm in so much love." She said dreamily tasting his lips.
"If that's the case...I love you too...!" Raman replied swallowing her lower lip and exploring her mouth in a searing kiss."Evening ayenge...engagement ke tayyariyan karna hai nah..." Raman tried to feign ignorance towards their present state.
[Will come in the evening. Need to prepare for the engagement]
She covered her front with the duppatta and got out of the car hastily. She wanted to run away as quickly as possible. However, she came back to him with the same haste and voiced, "That was our first kiss...I will never forget it Raman..."
He smiled meekly and left the place losing his heart somewhere.
********************************************
Everyone was busy preparing for the engagement while Raman didn't fail to check on Ishita's meals. She never eat heavy food for his surprise. He was decorating the hall along with Mihir and Subbu when a parcel came for Ishita. He looked at the gift suspiciously when she took it and made her way towards her bedroom. He followed her leaving behind his job at hand.
"Ishita...Yeh kya hai?" She heard him asking standing at the doorway to her room.
[What's it?]
"Chacolates...!" She exclaimed giving him one.
"Oh...just chocolates...!!!" He said eating it with her
"They are tasty no?" She asked licking the flicking cover.
"Yeah they are..." He said while walking out of the room after giving a soft smile at her cute antics.
The evening went off like a buzz decorating the entire house and preparing for the grand engagement of Mihir and Mihika. It was past ten when Raman felt a little uneasiness. He excused the team of gentlemen stating a headache. After freshening up he dropped himself on the bed to get some sleep. But he felt so restless that he chose not to sleep but read something.
On the otherside Ishita came out of her room wearing a silver colour sexy nightwear. She had hidden her treasures inside the robe and headed towards her stuporous abode; Raman Kumar Bhalla.
Subbu saw ger walking through the long corridor and followed her. He never in his dreams thought that he could get a chance to see her in such a dress. He pulled her arm making her turn and crush to him. She made a straight face and scolded him for misbehaving with her.
"What's wrong Ishita?" Subbu asked puzzled.
She shrugged off his hands and asked him to leave as she want to stay alone. He left the place turning back constantly to check her out in the gown. He wanted to rip off the robe and take in her beauty but she was unusually scary. Yes, he was intimidated by her. She sighed a relief when she saw him leaving and turned towards the direction of her destination after making sure that there is no more hintrance.
Raman walked to the door cranky and opened it scratching his head in irritation. His eyes popped out watching Ishita there at that late night. She closed the door behind her still looking seductively at him. He stepped back not knowing what to do whilst she ascended confidently tempting him by removing and throwing away her robe showing off her hidden treasures in a new way to his hungry eyes.
"Ish...we should not do it...You asked me not to..." He whispered when she leaned over him after pushing him down on the bed.
"Now I'm telling you...make love to me Ram..." She said licking his lower lip like a determined snake making him slip off the last stray of his self control.
********************************************
Raman tossed in the bed feeling his back killing him in pain. He stroked the back of his neck to ease out the pain and rubbed his eyes to scold away the sleepiness. Ishita turned to his side and hugged him mistaking him of her teddy. His eyes widened in shock on the realisation that she is indeed sleeping with him.
The family coming to the door ahd knocking to see if Ishita is with him was a nightmare come true. Ishita opened her eyes and got the shock of her life watching both of them naked.
"You're so cheap...chee...I asked you not to do anything when I'm not at all in my senses. Lekin apne phirse...!!!" She started blaming him.
[But you again...!]
"Ishita listen to me...I don't remember anything... I swear...I really really don't remember what happened last night." Raman tried to explain.
He didn't know what to say or how to make her understand that it was not his entire fault. Handing over her nightdress he asked her to dress up while he put on his track pants and T-shirt. Sending a silent prayer to the unknown Gods he opened the door to find his and her family staring at him furiously.
"Papaji voh..."
[That...]
He was about to explain the situation but cut short by the unexpected slap from his papa. His eyes welled up. The reason for which is getting the first slap from his papa. Ishita sat on the bed not knowing how to react. How will she face Subbu! Her family peaked at her and left the place in shame.
Subbu cleared his throat making them acknowledge his presence. Raman bend down his head in front of his family and Subbu while Subbu made his way in to the room and sat in front of Ishita.
"You know I love you right?" Subbu asked her attracting the attention of the crowd while Ishita nodded her head affirmatively without meeting his eyes.
"Tell me one thing...do you love me or him?" Subbu asked pointing at Raman and looking intently at Ishita.
