Sometimes Changes in life are good but there are 2 factors behind it- sometimes life itself incorporates some changes in itself whereas sometimes u voluntarily implement changes in ur life according to ur convenience and this was the case wid Ishita as it had been around 6 months since she became Ishita Raman Bhalla from Ishita Iyer and though no one had demanded anything from her but there were certain changes she herself had made to her life and schedule, one of them being remaining awake and waiting 4 raman whenever he came back late from office.
She did not know any particular reason for why she was acting that way but since last few weeks , she had developed this new habit (whether good or bad she did nt knew) that she liked to wait 4 raman when he came back late . moreover , she realized that even if she tried, she was nt able to sleep till the time he came back and she cud hear his peaceful breathing in their room so she had given up the fight wid her heart and mind and decided to follow what she liked to do which was waiting 4 her hubby happily every time he came back late, no matter how hard it was.
Raman on the other hand had seen that ishita used to be awake for him even late at night ut did not really give it that much importance as he was hell of a busy and in stress due to shagun and adi's continuous drama everyday due 2 something or the other. He had been so ignorant that he had never even asked ishita once when she had waited for him , if she had had her dinner or not?? But ishita knew raman's work and life well enough to hold no grudges against him and so she never bothered abt it.
It was one such day when raman had called up to inform that he wud be late as nay other day and ishita decided to do what she always did , ie wait 4 him but that day someone else in the house decided to do something too when raman came back. Yess it was mr bhalla , raman's papaji who was angry at raman for being late for so many days since past and he hated the fact that his bahu was also suffering becoz of raman so that day he decided to stay awake till raman came back and talk to him or even scold him for his ignorant behavior. Although toshiji told him nt to interfere but that day mr bhalla was in no mood to step back.
He had chosen a wrong day indeed becoz that day when raman came back, he was already in a very cranky mood and his endless work and endless drama of shagun over adi had irritated and angered him to hell so when he came back home , he was for once relieved that he cud hit his bed soon after dinner. as ishita came out to open the door for him and told him 2 freshen up , mrs bhalla came out and asked raman to come to their room as his papaji wanted to talk to him. Raman was in no mood but he cud not say no so he went in and curious abt what the matter cud be , ishita also followed him to see what it was abt.
As raman came to his parents room , he saw his father wid a serious expression and his mother silent which confused him and he just asked, " kya hua papa? Koi problem hai kya? Aapne iss tarah Mujhe bulaya itni raat ko, all well?"
Mr bhalla started in serious tone, " raman main bohot dinon se dekh raha hun ki tune raat ko late aana ek niyam bana liya hai , kyun?"
Raman was even more confused and replied, " kyun matlab? Kaam hai mera yaar aur aisa koi pehli baar toh hua nahi hai jo aap aise sawaal jawab kar rahe ho? Mera late aana issue kabse bann gaya?"
Mr bhalla-" late aana issue nahi hai raman , par kabhi kabhi iss tarah roz is not fine wid me."
Raman-" nt fine wid u matlab? Mera kaam hai yaar , main wahan party nahi karta hun."
Mr bhalla- " Mujhe pata hai tujhe koshish karni chahiye ki itne din late na ho"
Raman was irritated now, " koshish kya yaar, kya problem hai aapka 6 saal jab main ghar se bahar tha , shaher se bahar tha tab hi theek tha kya aapko? Mera yahan rehna achche nahi lag raha kya? Bata do I will leave."
Toshiji tried to speak but mr bhalla signaled her to keep quiet,he said, " tujhe lagta hai Mujhe tera, mere bete ka ghar merin rehna pasand nahi hai? Tu aisa sochta hai?"
Raman raised his voice a bit saying, " haan aapne hi toh sochne par majboor kiya hai , aise curfew wale rules bata ke toh kya sochun main?"
Mr bhalla came to the point saying, " dekh puttar tu Mujhe galat le raha hai , ab pehle wali baat nahi hai , ab teri ek biwi hai ghar par jo tera wait karti hai jab tak tu nahin aata. Ishita ke bare mein toh soch na puttar who bhi subah clinic jaati hai par kyunki tu raat ko late aata hai toh use der tak tere liye jage rehna padta hai. Mere hisaab se who sahi nahi hai , uski convenience ki bhi soch na , achche lagta hai kya ki who tere liye apni neend ya schedule kharab kare?"
Raman's anger was irked beyond limits now and he took his papaji's words to be cmng from ishita's mouth and just lost his temper and shouted saying, " oh really toh yeh baat hai , achanak se yeh curfew wale rules iss liye kyunki aapki bahu ko problem hoti hai right? Mere schedule par sawaal isliye kyunki who nahi so paati hai na?" he said and when mr and mrs bhalla tried to intervene he did not stop and kept on blabbering in his anger saying, " I know yahi baat hai , use problem hoti hai aur who khud Mujhe bolne ki bajaye aapko shikayat kar rahi hai soo gr8, so damn gr8. Par waise aapne apni pyaari bahu se poocha ki use kisne kaha hai mere liye jaagne ko? Wait karne ko? Maine toh nahi kaha, who khud hi karti hai toh phir yeh complaints kyun?"
Mr bhalla said, " ishita ne kuch nahi kaha..." but raman did nt listen and continued, " ishita ishita ishita sab kuch bass ishita se hi hai , uske liye hi hai , uski neend ke liye main apna schedule badal loon , kaam chod doon, like really? Kisne kaha use all goody goody wife ki tarah behave karne ke liye? Maine toh kabhi koyi exprectaions nahi rakhi uss se phir kyun yeh natak kar rahi hai who jab use complaint hi karni hai? Main aapko ek cheez clear keh raha hun ishita ko keh dijiyega ki mere liye use kuch karne ki zaroorat nahi hai , na jaagne ki , na khana garam karne ki , na apni neend kharab karne ki . who apne schedule ke hisaab se chale aur main apne aur use jo bhi mujhse problem hai mere se baat kare for god's sake aapse bachchon ki tarah shikayat na kare. Dobara yeh natak nahi chaiye Mujhe , bina biwi ke itne saal raha tha aage bhi reh sakta hun main, samjhe aap log."
And just as he turned around to leave, he was stunned to see ishita standing at the doorstep and having heard all their conversation . she had tears in her eyes and thousand questions too along wid a feeling of anger towards him but she did not utter a single word and left from their silently even when mr and mrs bhalla tried to stop her.
Raman felt bad at what he had done but not much till the time mrs bhalla scolded him saying, " oye tu ek number ka khotta hai raman , ishita ne hamse kabhi bhi kuch nahi kaha who toh bechari apni khushi se tera intezaar karti thi. Who toh tere papaji ne soch ki tujhe samjha dein toh unhone ye bola aur tune bina galti ke uss bechari ko itna kuch suna diya? Kabhi toh baat suna aur samjha kar phir bola kar. Tune bhale hi use kuch na maana ho par usne pehle din se tujhe aur hamein apna parivaar maana hai aur yeh sila mila hai use teri kadar karne ka. Ab jaa yahan se teri madat toh bhagwaan bhi nahi kar sakta."
Raman was stunned listening to the full matter and felt guilty like never before but he knew he did not had any words to tackle the situation at the moment so he silently walked out to the dining hall where he was in for another shock as ishita was silently arranging his food on the table like she always used to do and he just went there and settled on the chair waiting for her to say something but she did'nt.
She served him in silence and then went straight 2 their room without uttering a single word. Raman hoped that his Jhansi ki rani wud thrash him in their room and he went to the room praying to god to give him strength to face her but contrary to his expectations, he saw ishita cmng out from the washroom and silently slipping to the couch to sleep for the night. Seeing her face , he cud gather that she had cried in the washroom and the feeling he experienced at that time was far more than guilt. He hated himself for doing this to her and lied down on the bed to sleep.
Sleep evaded them both but their thoughts were different from each other. Raman was so guilty that he cud not even meet his own eyes forget abt ishita and so he decided that no matter what , he is staying away from ishita for next 2-3 days that was till the time he gathered some strength to face her.
Ishita , on the other hand was broken hearing what raman had said abt her , she was just abt to intervene and stop papaji for scolding raman when all hell had broken loose and raman had uttered those heart and trust breaking words abt her and their relationship. She was not totally angry at raman and felt maybe she too went far beyond what their relation was and so she decided that she wud give him the space he needed and as for being awake for him - well that was a far thing now.
precap- ishita's idea to help raman in nt eating cold food and raman gets a hint of it.
