Ishra TS She Remains Awake 4 Me last part pg 10(replied 2 all) - Page 4

Next morning was silent for them both and nobody in the house noticed anything apart from mr and mrs bhalla who had also decided to not talk to raman at all. Ishita and raman went for their respective work and at the night when raman did not come home till 11, all assumed he wud be late and went to sleep, ishita too decided to sleep.

It was around 12.30 when ishita heard raman entering the house and she assumed he wud have his dinner and then come to the room but what surprised her was that moments later, she heard raman entering the room, freshening up and then lying down to sleep.

She ran her mind thinking why he did not had his dinner and then she recalled a conversation of their initial marriage days when once raman had told her that he did not like to eat cold food and if he is too tired to heat his food then he prefers sleeping without eating food rather than cold food.

This was one of the reasons why she had liked to stay awake for him- to heat his food. She felt bad and concerned that raman had slept hungry after a tiring day at work and so she thought hard abt how she cud do something for him and suddenly a stupid and crazy idea struck her which she hoped to implement the next time raman came late. She knew she anyways wud not be able to sleep till he came back and so she decided to follow a way which wud keep her self respect also intact and raman also wud nt have to sleep hungry always.

Few days passed away and they were quite uneventful as ishita and raman did not talk to each other at all, in their room silence hung all the time and although raman wanted 2 talk to ishita but he cud not gather the courage to do so. Everyone in the house knew abt what had happened that night but mr bhalla had warned them not to mention the matter or to talk abt it to either ishita or raman.

For several days raman came home on time and spent his wid ruhi and working on laptop though he ached to talk to ishita. He knew she did not need to say anything as her silence was much more than any words cud ever express. They were back to being the strangers that they once were and it was not a good feeling for either of them. At night hours passed away wid them tossing and turning in their beds but sleep came wid difficulty.

Main tenu samjhawaan ki, na tere bina lagda jee

Tu ki jaane pyaar mera, main karun intezar tera

Tu dil tuiyo jaan meri, main tenu samjhwana ki

Na tere bina lagda jee

After several days it was a day when raman had informed abt being late again and ishita decided to follow her idea and see if it worked well and so after completing all the household work, she lied down on the couch and started reading a book until it was around 12 in the night.

After the clock struck 12 , ishita started following her plan, she went to the kitchen , kept raman's food in microwave and hit the autoheat button to 1 minute and then came back and lied down on the couch. After around 15 minutes, she repeated the same process and decided to keep repeating the process every 15 minutes till she wud hear raman's car cmng down in the parking lot. She had figured out that this way raman wud nt have to eat cold food and also when he came back, he wud not see her being awake for him and so no hassles on that front too. She knew this was crazy ut then who said life wid raavan kumar wud be simple and staright so she decided to go ahead wid it.

Raman came at around 1 and till that time ishita had heated up the food for around 4 times and as expected raman found the food to be well heated- not too hot , not too cold and just perfect ut what he did not knew or noticed was the fact that who had kept the food warm.

He just had his food and went to sleep but not before looking at ishita and saying a meek sorry to her although in his own heart , not aloud to her. Days continued to pass away the same way and although raman did feel curious as to who kept his food warm and how but he cud never figure it out and so he let it be.

One day while ishita and raman were in their room , raman gathered some courage and approached ishita saying, " ummm ishita suno..kuch baat karni thi, sunogi kya?"

Ishita was folding clothes and just casually muttered, " haan boliye?"

Raman-" ishita main keh raha tha ki agar hum dono aapas mein baat nahi karenge toh aur kisiko koi pharak nahi padega par ruhi par zaroor effect aa sakta hai. U know ruhi kitni intelligent hai and if she gets 2 knw that we are not on talking terms toh.."

Ishita-" toh aap kya chahtein hain actually?"

Raman-" main bass itna chahta hun ki hum sirf ruhi ke saamne normally ek doosre se baat karte rahein that's all, par agar its too much 4 u toh let it go.."

Ishita just said, " even I dnt want ruhi upset ho kisi cheez par and Mujhe aapse ruhi ke liye baat karne mein na koi problem kabhi thi , na hogi so relax, it's fine by me." And then she left the room without a single glimpse towards raman. Raman heaved a sigh of relief but not without a pang of guilt as he felt bad that ishita was ready 2 even talk to him after the fiasco and he himself had behaved like a monster wid her.

Mere dil ne chun laiyan ne , tere dil diyan raahan

Tu jo mere naal to re ta turpe mereya saha

Jeena mera haaye , hun hai tera ki main karaan

Tu sun iqraar mera, main karun intezaar tera

Tu dil tuiyo jaan meri, main tenu samjhawaan ki

Na tere bina lagda jee

Life continued the same way and one day while raman was in his office, he overheard a conversation between 2 of his employees which caught his attention. They were discussing abt how they get late in office and how their wives tackle wid it at their homes. One of them said to other- "yaar aajkal office mein kitna late ho jata hai na?"

Other one-" haan yar but what to do kaam zyaada hai na toh stress toh hoga hi but ghar jaake toh relaxation hota hai , hai na?"

First one-" haan yaar meri wife , chahen jitna bhi lad le mujhse but uske chote chote gestures yeh ehsaas dikha dete hain ki who mujhse kitna pyaar karti hai, kitna care karti hai."

Other one-" haan yaar , uska hamari pasand ka khana banana, hamare kapde nikal kar rakhna, hamari cheezon ka dhyaan rakhna aur sabse important aur touching hota hai jab who hamare liye late night tak jaagti rehti hai jab hum late hote hain ghar pahunchne mein. Uss baat par sabse zyaada ladti hain humse but uska hamare liye jaagna aur apni neend ko sacrifice karna hi sabse bada hai mere according , kyunki apni neend par control karna is not easy at all, hai na?"

First one-" haan yaar kitni bhi kich kich kar lo but ultimately wife ko life aise hi thodi na bolte hain."

And they laughed it out. Raman was shocked and surprised on hearing them and finally realized how big gesture it was from ishita's side to remain wake for him , how important it cud be for their relation and how he had just taken it for granted. From that day, he decided to take gradual but concrete steps towards mending and building his relation wid ishita. First step wud be going home on time and next wud surely br finding out who and how kept his food warm at night becoz he was damn curious to know the mystery behind the warm food and had a strong feeling that somewhere ishita had an involvement in this mystery.

From that day raman started changing his habits and ishita cud see that. He used to come on time most of the days and tried to spend maximum time wid ruhi and she cud see he was doing it so that he cud be wid both ruhi and her as without ruhi , ishita hardly stayed around raman. He used to keep his shoes properly , not keep wet towel on bed and insisted on giving a lift to ishita and ruhi in front of whole family so that they cud not refuse. Moreover, he tried to smile at her meekly from corner of eyes and drop in sweet nothings abt her through ruhi so that she cud not fight wid him on this.

Whenever his hand or body touched ishita , deliberately or not , a chill ran through ishita's body as she knew he had that effect on her. Ishita knew she was not angry on raman anymore, infact far from being angry she knew the memory of that night had faded somewhere though not at all erased which kept her away and aloof from raman but her heart ached too , to be wid him.

Raman on the other hand was happy that he was making his utmost efforts towards ishita and he knew that it wud take a lot of time but he wud eventually succeed ,patience was the most important quality he needed and he was determined to master in it this time. the only though that ran in raman's mind was finding out abt how his food was always warm at night, this mystery was getting deeper for him day by day and his curiosity abt it was on peek.

He did not have to wait long enough for the mystery to unfold as once on a Sunday, when he was lazing around in ruhi's room while she was happily chirping away an idea struck him like lightning. He knew ishita told most of her secrets to ruhi so there was a possibility that ruhi knew abt his warm food too if ishita was behind it. Although he was not sure but he knew , he had to take that chance as there was no one else in the house who cud help her wid this so he approached ruhi when ishita had gone to the market and asked her in between playing,

Raman-" achcha ruhi pata hai jaise aapki fairytales mein magic hota hai na , pehle main usmein believe nahi karta tha but ab kuch dinon se karne laga hun."

Ruhi was confused and cutely asked, " aap magic mein believe karte ho , par who kyun? Aisa kya hua?"

Raman knew little girl was curious now and he said, " sach mein jaan na chahte ho aap ruhi?"

Ruhi-" haan papa batao na?"

Raman-" theek hai bataunga but aapko promise karna hoga ki yeh baat hamare beech rahegi , hamara secret, promise?"

Ruhi-" haan papa ruhi promise main nahi bataungi , ab batao na?"

Raman started telling- " ruhi aapko yaad hai na ki papa kuch din pehle roz raat ko late late ghar aate the?"

Ruhi- "haan yaad hai."

Raman-" hmm toh papa jab raat ko ghar aakar kitchen mein dekhte the na toh papa ka dinner microwave mein bilkul garam garam hota tha jabki ghar par toh sab soye huye hote the toh phir papa ka dinner kaise garam hota tha? magic se na toh papa magic mein believe karne lage , simple." And he saw ruhi's expressions changing and she started giggling and then said,

Ruhi-" offo papa aap sachchi mein bilkul budhu ho, aapko lagta hai ki who dinner magic se garam hota hai ha ha ha papa aap bilkul bachche ho , who dinner toh actually ishimaa garam karti hain roz.."

Raman was stunned though he had expected it but not showing he probed ruhi further-" who kaise ho sakta hai ruhi , ishimaa toh soyi hui hoti hain jab papa ghar aate hain toh that's not possible."

Ruhi explained-" papa actually ishimaa kabhi nahi soyi hotin, unhone kaha tha ki unhe neend nahi aati akele room mein jab tak aap nahi aa jaate aur isliye who 12 o clock ke baad se har 15 minutes baad 1 minute ke liye khana warm kar deti hain , simple.."

Raman was surprised to hear this innovative idea and when ruhi explained the process to him in further detail , he was amazed by ishita's dedication for him and their relation. Despite of all that happened that night, she was still remaining awake for him and warming the food for him , her efforts bein unknown to everyone.

That moment he decided that the next time he comes back late at night wud be the day when he wud confront ishita and clear all misunderstandings between them forever. This time wud be the last time ishita wud be allowed to implement her crazy plan , " yeh last hoga meri paagal madrasan, I promise." He said to himself.
