Hi guyzz...
I was thinking of ways to pen-paint the story the way I'm imagining. OMG...Writing is so difficult 😲 Finally, I come up with the idea of including the
Flashbacks in it. I hope it sounds good. [FB is in BOLD]
Kindly ignore typos 😳
CHAPTER- AIt has been a week that Madhavi got discharged from the hospital. She is recovering from the shock slowly. Yet, she is not being able to talk to anyone. That made everyone worried. What else is needed for Ishita to get angry on her husband? She couldn't believe that he said it out so insensitively!
When she walked up to the Bhalla's doorway, she wanted to do only one thing: Shout out on top of her voice for bringing in so much of tension in her amma's life, her life. But her limp got numb when she saw the calling bell. She couldn't collect herself to press it and woke up the louder Punjabi people to let them know that her amma's condition is worsening because of them. In reality, facing Raman was the last thing she wanted!
********************************************
"This is ridiculous Mihir...This divorce is not what I wanted. But I'm helpless!" Raman pulled his hair in frustration while talking to his cousin Mihir.
"Raman bhai...look here...is that because Ishita bhabhi want you to remarry someone else for a child?" Mihir asked his apparent doubt.
"No...it's not because of that...It's because she doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't trust me anymore. She just found it a chance to part from me Mihir...!" Raman exclaimed his dibelief on the things happening to him.
"I don't believe this! There should be something which you both are hiding...what's it?" Mihir inquired in a serious tone.
"Yes there is...but...I can't tell you that...she doesn't want me to disclose it...It's bull-crap man...It's all just a misunderstanding...!" Raman got hysteric again.
"Bhai...get some sleep...we'll talk tomorrow." Mihir made Raman lay down.
********************************************
"Akka...tell me...why you both are doing this? You love him right? Then why this charade?" Mihika hugged Ishita in her half sleepy state and mumbled.
Ishita's eyes welled up when she replied that, "Men just want two things from woman. S*x and kids. He got the first thing...and will never get the second one. So he wants a divorce..."
"But jiju seems to be so upset. It's not exactly what he wants akka...I feel bad for him." Mihika said looking up at Ishita.
"You don't know him Miku...! He is a very good actor! I know only one thing that he was already finding excuses to be away from me. Maybe because he got bored of me. And then this infertility issue. He was literaly waiting for a chance to separate from me Miku." Ishita sighed.
********************************************
A fresh morning...!
Ishita came to the parking lot and saw Raman standing near his car as if awaiting her. He used to do the same when they were in so much love. She looked at him with a mixture of emotions. He was no better. Their gaze locked for some moments while they travelled to recollect the good old memories.
"Madrasan...I'm waiting..." Raman texted Ishita for the millionth time without any reply.
He got angry and worried at the same time for her ignorance. He climbed the stairs to meet her under the lame and dumbest of excuses that is of borrowing the tamil newspaper for his accountant, Subramanium (he always do).
Ishita was having breakfast when he entered the Iyer house. He glared at her for which she rolled her eyes in shock while eating the idlis and checked her mobile. Mouthing a sorry for ignoring his calls and messages she winked at him which was a sign of a sudden visit!
Again the wait started and ended so soon as Ishita came to the parking lot. He naughtiy grinned at her making her blush harder. She stuporously walked towards him so was he. When he was about to say something she kissed his cheek making the loving smoochiness, not before checking her surroundings.
He was on cloud nine! She seldom romances. And when she gets romantic, he gets a treat!Both of them were nowhere there but in their own world of love. They didn't realised that they are actually walking towards each other.
"What you wanna prove Raman?" Ishita stood facing him.
"That I still love you..." He looked deeply in to her eyes.
"But I don't. You know that very well." She said sternly.
"No...you do love me!" He widened his eyes and extended his hands as if showing it is an obvious thing.
"I'm getting late for the clinic. You show your drama to someone else." She said turning back to reach her car.
A pull from behind. Her pallu was in his hand. She felt agitated and weak on her knees at the same time. Her back crushed to his front when he pulled her and encircled her waist with his hands. Her breathing hitched and throat dry. She felt his lips coming closer to her ear.
"Don't do this to us...I can explain everything...I never stopped loving you."
"Leave me Raman...I said leave me." Ishita hissed angrily trying to part his hands from her body only get tightened more.
"You are making me a rude and crap in front of our families Ishita..." His voice dangerous than ever.
"It's way more better than what you are!" She showed a disgusting look at him.
"You're mistaken. It wasn't my entire fault. I didn't mean to do that. I don't care anything else but I love you...I want you back. Stop this drama." He pleaded.
Ishita faced him after parting and said firmly, "You promised me that you'll do whatever I say. This is what I want. A divorce. So far you're acting well."
He pulled her to him and pinned her to the car in a swift act. "I won't sign those bloody papers Ishita. I will not. I promised you because you promised me back a chance to prove you wrong." He said coming dangerously close to her.
"I've given you enough. It has been three months that you're miserably failing Raman. You were time and again proving me right! I can't tolerate it anymore." She started crying which made him loosen his grip thus giving her space to go.
***************************************************
Office! He hates everything nowadays!
He used to pray in his office other than concentrating in his biz. Pray, for reaching home soon so that he could be with her. Spending time with her was what all he needed. He never got enough of her; in all sense. But now it had been changed drastically.
Will space suffocate someone? Well yes. Some times spaces and distance means lonelinesss. That painful solitude suffocats the heart. One cannot overcome the prickliness so easily. Ishita's absense in his life is somewhat the same. He couldn't help wonder what she feels. Is she not that affected by his absence? Is his presence a nothing for her? Is she really want to move on/ away from him? Contemplations...! Without a proper reasoning!
"Bhai...papers are ready." Patak's voice made Raman furious for the first time.
"Take that to Ishita. Don't disturb me. I'm busy!" He shouted meaninglessly.
"Bhai...but it need your sign. It's a mutual..." Patak started only to earn a glare from Raman.
***************************************************
"Akka...hot coffee...!" Mihika tried to cheer up her akka with her favourite evening coffee.
"Raman used to cajole me like this Miku...!" Ishita's tongue give her away.
"Akka..." Mihika's face weary.
"I mean...he...used to...not anymore..." She covered it up and sipped the coffee thinking about their evening romance.
"Enough Raman...I'm fed up of you. You always makes fun of me. Above all, you are making the entire house a crap! Dirty man!" Ishita faked tears and moved to the balcony of their apartment.
It has been a routine since they have settled in Mumbai. Both of them never fails to find a lame reason to quarrel and then romance. In short, Ishita becomes a bit lazy in the evening that she wants Raman to make coffee for her. She loves him working (only for her).
"Yaar...see I made your favourite coffee...!" He exclaimed showing it like a professional cook.
She was standing leaning over the railings. Looking at him sideways, she give her million dollar smile which is the only thing he always wants.
"I love the taste of coffee in your lips!" He shamelessly admitted the reason behind his hardwork.
"I know!" She indirectly told him that she enjoys it.To Be Continued...
