They soon reached shimla and the cottage as expected was small, cosy but beautiful from outside as it was located on a hill and had a magnificent view of scenery. As their luggage settled in and they reached the balcony of cottage which overlooked a valley as well as beautiful mountains , ishita became hopeful that this place along wid her efforts wud do the needful for raman. Besides being beautiful there was serenity abt the place, a sense of calm which soothed the mind and body of a person and she smiled and went in to see raman already settling down to sleep and as she did not want to pester him just then , she decided to let it go but not before bringing in a glass of milk and forcefully making raman drink it.
Morning rays brought new hopes and challenges for ishita but for raman everything was as dull as before. Although he cud not refuse that change of place did calm his mind a bit but he cud not get out of his guilt much apart from that. For the full day ishita tried to pester raman to talk to her , told him stupid jokes, things abt ruhi or anything that she cud gather hoping for a reaction from him but she never got one. Raman kept listening to her and neither acknowledged her nor scolded her and went out of the room and sat in small hall connected wid a tiny kitchen.
Ishita decided not to give up till she succeeds and slept thinking abt what she wud next day. She decided to show raman that someone loved him and cared for him and he had to smile and live for them.
Next morning as raman got up, his ears got alert by ishita voice singing
Apni aankhein khaali kar de
Aaj tu meri aankhein bhar de
Aaj tu meri aankhein bhar de...
His sleep was forgotten and as he sat up on bed, he saw ishita freshly showered wid a sweet smile on her face stepping into the room wid his bed tea and breakfast. She came towards him and sat on the bed infront of him singing
Mere yara tere gham agar payenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum sawar jayenge
Hooo mere yaara tere ghum agar paayenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum sawar jayenge
She gave him tea and fed his breakfast herself and as he was too engrossed in looking in her eyes, she wiped some food which had stuck on his lip lovingly and said
Do yeh saugaat tum
Toh zamaane ki hum
Do yeh saugaat tum
Toh zamaane ki hum
Har khushi se mukar jaayenge...
She looked into her eyes directly and wid concern said
Hum mar jayenge..
Ooo
Hum mar jayenge.
Mere yaara tere gham agar payenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum sawar jaynege.
Although he did not say anything but ishita noticed that he did look directly into her eyes for once after days and she was even more hopeful that her love and care will restore raman to his former self for sure. Next she took him outside and made him sit on the reclining chair handing him his shaving kit which he refused to accept but ishita being ishita did not give up and started shaving his herself as she applied cream and then shaved him lovingly and then wiping his face wid a towel gently leaning over him she said
Tere kaandhe se hi lagke
Yaara beete umar saari
Socho kaisi hogi kismat
Hua yun toh phir hamari
She made him watch cricket match and behaved crazily like he used to do and then talk to him anything stupid that came to her mind and as he got up to leave, she held his hand saying
Saare aansu toh hon tere
Par aankhein ho hamari
As he freed himself from her grasp and went out in balcony and kept staring at the view in front wid moist eyes she said
Tere dard humein...
Jo mile pyaar mein...
She engulfed him in a hug from side and asked him to smile wiping his tears as she said
Tere dard humein
Jo mile pyaar mein
Hum khushi se ubhar jaayenge...
Hum marr jayenge..ooo
Hum marr jayenge
As he removed her hands and started walking back inside the house, he suddenly felt something and turned around to see ishita being defeated in her attempts and sadly singing and wiping her tears saying
Mere yaara tere gham
Agar payenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum
Sawar jayenge..
He was shocked to see his jkr bearing that defeated look and wondered how she must be feeling seeing the same look on his face from past few days when he himself cud nt bear that look on her face for even few minutes. Yess they had married for ruhi..yess theirs was not a typical lovey dovey marriage or relation...yess they fought like crazy and doubted each other but he cud not deny the fact that their relation had been special to both of them.
If they fought, they cared too...if they did not trust each other then they clear it out too..if they gave pain..they wiped the tears too. they had shared their life in unqiue ways and this woman standing near him was the one who had been doing so much for him. Since the day he went silent , she had been looking after him like a true wife..a true friend.. a true lover and almost like a baby.
Here in shimla too she had tried her level best to bring him back to life and at this point this woman's tears did something to raman... something shifted and changed in his heart for ishita and he knew it that he had to get out of his guilt for his family..for his daughter and especially for his wife ishita..yess damn it she is my wife in truest of sense and no one in this world cud doubt their relationship... no more now.
Determined to bring back the smile on her face, he turned around and started walking slowly towards her saying
Ooo
Chahein dukh ho
Chahein such ho
Dil ne tujhko hai pukara
Ishita cud not believe this was finally happening..yes her raman..her husband was getting back to her and that too wid his million dollar smile on his face. He stood in front of her and looking into her eyes wid love and gratitude said
Tune humko hai banaya
Tune humko hai sawara
He took her hands in his and then kissed them lightly and applied them on his forehead too as if he was worshiping his goddess while tears filled her eyes wid happiness as he said
Jahaan ko toh rab ka hai
Humein tera hai sahara
She could not take it anymore and hugged him tightly. He too bone crushed her into a cozy hug as he caressed her hair and back and said
Bass tera saath ho
Chahein jo baat ho
Bass tera saath ho
Chahein jo baat ho
As he broke the hug and looked into her eyes , he said
Tere kehne se kar jaayenge
Hum marr jayenge
Ooo
Hum marr jaayenge
He wiped off her tears and slightly smiled and sang
Mere yara tere gham agar payenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum
Sawar jayenge
She too reciprocated and side hugged him again while they looked at the view infront wid contentment in their eyes of being in each other's safe arms.
Mere yaara tere gham agar paayenge
Humein teri hai kasam hum sawar jaayenge
As they got satisfied wid silence, ishita said-" raman ghar par bata doon phone karke..?everyone will be soo happy."
Raman just said-" hmm bata do..btw thanks ishita."
Ishita-" thanks kiss liye?"
Raman took her hands in his and said-" Mujhe uss condition se bahar lane ke liye. Maine socha hi nahi tha ki main kabhi aa paaunga but tumhare pyaar aur care ne possible kar diya."
She smiled looking at him and said-" thanks mat boliye yeh mera farz bhi tha aur haq bhi raman. Infact thank u ki aapne ek chance diya apne aap ko bhi aur Mujhe bhi."
He just smiled amazed at this woman's love and concern for everyone. He said-" waise ishita tumhe itna farak kyun pada Mujhe aise dekhkar? Iss liye ki ghar mein sab pareshaan the? Ya ruhi upset thi??ya phir...kahin tumhe mujhse pyaar vyaar toh nahi ho gaya?" he asked flirtatiously and smirked winking at her embarrassed and blushing face.
Ishita struggled for words and finally taking a deep breath she said-" haan aisa hai ki Mujhe farak pada aapko aise dekhkar.. par uska reason na toh gharwale hain aur na hi ruhi thi... its becoz I care for u raman inn kuch mahino mein hamara rishta sirf ruhi ke liye phase se kahin aage nikal chukka hai aur aap mere liye sirf ruhi ke father nahi ..ab aap mere liye mere dost..mere pati bhi ho..woh dost jiske saath main ladti hun par lade bina reh nahi sakti..woh pati jiss ke saath rehkar Mujhe ehsaas hota hai ki someone cares for me and my safety . aur isliye aap ko aise dekhkar Mujhe bura laga dard hua.. bohot takleef hui kyunki main na chahte huye bhi aapse emotionally attach ho gayi hun.. Mujhe nahi pata yeh pyaar hai ya nahi aur sahi batun toh main inn nayi feelings ko bhi koi naam dena bhi nahi chahti isliye abhi ise pyaar nahi bolungi par pyaar se kuch zyaada kam bhi nahi kahungi..is it ok?"
Raman was bowled over by her honest confession and just said-" its absolutely fine ishita I think... tum.."
Ishita asked-" yahi sawaal main aapse karun toh? Aap bhi toh care karte ho meri? Kyun?"
Raman knew he had to answer that and so he said-" I think tum bilkul theek keh rahi ho yeh rishta ab ruhi ke liye toh nahi hai uss se kahin zyada hai and I feel I am in same zone as u ishita wid almost same feelings as u so I think we shld let it be like this for the moment and go wid the flow..what say?"
Ishita-"hmm u are right. Lets wait for right moment."
And they sat their staring at the star filled night sky wordlessly henceforth , as silence enough was comfortable to them. The feelings which ran in their heads and hearts were
Jisse zindagi dhoondh rahi hai ,Kya yeh who mukaam mera hai
Yahan chain se bass ruk jaaun, Kyun dil yeh Mujhe kehta hai
Jazbaat naye se mile hain, Jaane kya asar yeh hua hai
Ek aas mili phir mujhko , Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai
Hoo kisi shaayar ki gazal
Jo de rooh ko sukoon ke pal
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjaare ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar
Ya sard mein dopehar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai , Jaise banjaare ko ghar
Indeed they had found each other when they were alive and not living and wid each other now they were sure to find all that love and happiness that they had hoped for always as sooner or later they knew they wud not be able to stop their hearts from falling for each other and Love wud happen in craziest and deepest of ways .They had too yaar as they had found each other like a wandered finds a home in a desert.
so how did u find it? waiting
Love❤️
Shivangi
