Thodi Si Bewafai #2 Part 26 on Page 110 - Page 21

He checked himself in his mobile screen, set his hair and then finally rang the doorbell after making sure that he looked presentable.

Aap, she asked, shocked seeing him stand at the door that too at this hour.

(You, she asked, shocked seeing him stand at the door that too at this hour.)

Haan...I am sorry...I know it is not the right time to come but I had to...I mean I landed here last night only but didn't want to disturb so waited till the morning but could not wait anymore, he tried to justify himself.

(Yes...I am sorry...I know it is not the right time to come but I had to...I mean I landed here last night only but didn't want to disturb so waited till the morning but could not wait anymore, he tried to justify himself.)

Nahi nahi...mera woh matlab nahi tha...main bas surprised thi aise achanak aapko dekhke, she explained herself.

(No No...I didn't mean that ways...i was just surprised to see you all of a sudden, she explained herself.)

Can I come in, he asked reluctantly.

Ofcourse...it is your house, she welcomed him in.

Thank you Amma, Raman spoke entering the house.

Sab thik hai na beta...Ishu thik hai...aap achanak aise yahan, Madhavi asked worriedly.

(Is everything alright son...Is Ishu fine...you are here suddenly, Madhavi asked worriedly.)

Sab thik toh nahi hai Amma but ab ho jayega, he gave an assurance which only added on to her confusion.

(Everything is not fine Amma but it will be fine now, he gave an assurance which only added on to her confusion.)

Main kuch samjhi nahi beta...aap mujhe thik se sab bataiye, Amma tried to connect his words.

(I didn't get you son...can you brief me, Amma tried to connect his words.)

Amma main aapko sab aaram se bataunga...abhi mujhe jaldi hai...mujhe flight bhi leni hai...aap please use le aaiye, he requested.

(Amma I will tell you everything later...right now I am in a hurry...I even have to catch the flight...you please bring her, he requested.)

Kise beta...main kuch samjhi nahi, Amma again looked baffled.

(Whom son...i didn't understand, Amma again looked baffled.)

Amma please ab koshish mat kijiye chipaane ki...i know everything now...aap jaldi use le aaiye, he refused to listen.

(Amma please try to hide now...I know everything now...you please bring her fast, he refused to listen.)

Raman dekho ismein Ishita ki koi galti nahi thi beta...aap baitho main aapko sab samjhaati hoon...meri beti ki koi galti nahi hai, Amma tried to defend her daughter on knowing that it was pointless to try to hide now.

(Raman look Ishita is not at fault dear...you sit and I can explain you everything...my daughter is not at fault, Amma tried to defend her daughter on knowing that it was pointless to try to hide now.)

Amma please, he requested indirectly refusing to be ears to any further conversation.

Yeh lo, Amma said fearfully.

(Ok fine take, Amma said fearfully.)

Thank you Amma, he said and left hurriedly.

Please Murugan...meri beti ki help karna...uska ghar mat ujadne dena...pehle hi usne kitna kuch saha hai woh bina kisi galti ke...yeh kaisa insaaf hai aapka ki kare koi aur bhare koi...uske chakkar mein meri beti ki zindagi barbaad hui...woh maut ke muh mein jaate jaate bachi hai...ab uske saath kuch galat mat hone dena Murugan, Amma sent a prayer to god having an idea of what consequences could Ishita bear today in next few hours.

(Please god...help my daughter...don't let her life get ruined...she has already suffered so much that too without any mistake...what kind of justice is this where someone else is at fault and she is suffering...my daughter's life got ruined because of her...she was almost dead and somehow made it to life...now don't let anything wrong happen to her god, Amma sent a prayer to god having an idea of what consequences could Ishita bear today in next few hours.)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Bas teen ghante aur Ishita aur phir main tumhare paas hounga...aur tumhare saath bhi...aaj sab thik ho jaega...sab kuch thik...humesha ke liye, he smiled dreamily as he boarded the flight to return back.

(Another 3 hours and then I will be near you...and with you as well...today everything will be fine...everything...and forever, he smiled dreamily as he boarded the flight to return back.)

Aaj meri sagai thi...woh sagai jiske liye kal tak main behad utsuk thi aur aaj behad khilaaf, she got a grave shock as she read the first line of a new page.

(It was my engagement today...the very same engagement for which I was over-excited yesterday and completely against today, she got a grave shock as she read the first line of a new page.)

Aakhir aisa kya hua tha ki maine khud ne sagai se inkaar kiya, she lost herself in some deep thoughts.

(What had happened that I myself refused for the engagement, she lost herself in some deep thoughts.)

Tringg, she came out of her thoughts as the phone bell rang.

Hello Ishu meri baat suno beta...Raman yahan aaya tha...woh usko leke gaya hai...beta tum pareshan mat hona...Raman se aaram se baat karna...jyada kuch baat badhe toh mujhe phone karna...main aur tumhare Appa phoran aa jaayenge...dekho beta main jaanti hoon humne tumhe bahut daanta hai...bahut naarazgi dikhayi hai par beta tum humari bachi ho...tumhe kuch hoga toh sabse jyada chinta humein hi hogi na...tum bas Raman se aaram se baat karna, her Amma called, blabbered and ended the call not even realizing that she could understand nothing.

(Hello Ishu listen to me dear...Raman came here...he took her along...dear you don't worry at all...talk to Raman calmly...and if any problem arises just call me...Me and your Appa will come immediately...look dear I understand we have scolded you a lot...we were very upset with you but still you are our daughter...if something happens to you then we will worry the most...you just talk to Raman politely, her Amma called, blabbered and ended the call not even realizing that she could understand nothing.)

Yeh kya ho raha hai mere saath...Raman ka aise baar baar meri taraf aana aur phir achanak laut jaana...unki woh hichak woh berukhi...aur kal raat toh achanak hi chale jaana...Amma ka yeh call...aur woh sagai...maine kyun khud ki sagai se inkaar kiya...Raman ne toh bataya tha ki main unhe bahut pasand karti thi...phir kyun kiya maine aisa...kahin yeh sab aapas mein juda hua toh nahi hai...aur Raman bhi toh aaj Amma ke ghar gaye hain...kyun...aakhir kya hai wahan...aur kisko lekar gaye Raman Amma ke ghar se...ho na ho yeh sab aapas mein juda hua hai, she tried to join bits and pieces but got nothing in return except for stress.

(What is all this happening to me...Raman comes to me and then backs off suddenly that too again and again...his reluctance his coldness...and his disappearance all of a sudden last night...Amma's call now...and that engagement...why did I refuse to the engagement...Raman told me that I liked him a lot...then why did I refuse...is everything inter-connected...and even Raman visited Amma today...why...what is there...and whom did Raman bring along from Amma's house...no matter what I am sure all this is related, she tried to join bits and pieces but got nothing in return except for stress.)

Diary hi aage padhti hoon...shayad kuch pata chale, she decided and sat back to read the diary.

(I should read the diary ahead...maybe I will get to know something, she decided and sat back to read the diary.)

Aaj meri sagai thi

Woh sagai jiske liye kal tak main behad utsuk thi aur aaj behad khilaaf

Par main kaise rokti khud ko sagai ke khilaaf hone ke

Yeh sagai aur kuch nahi bas ek dhokha hi toh hai

Raman ko dhokha

Unke sache pyaar ko dhokha

Main apni zimmedaari ka bojh un par kaise daal sakti hoon

Amma Appa ne aaj mujhse zabardasti sagai karwa toh li par main yeh shaadi hargiz nahi karungi

Main apne saath saath Raman ko barbaad nahi kar sakti

Woh katai yeh sab deserve nahi karte

Par woh dil tootna bhi toh deserve nahi karte

Maine shaadi todi toh unka dil toot jaaega

Kitna jyada pyaar karte hain woh mujhse

Par kaise unke pyaar ko apne saath rehne doon main jabki mujhe kisi aur ko apna saath dena hai

Murugan please mujhe itni Shakti dijiye ki main Raman ka dil todd paun

Today it is my engagement...That engagement for which I was so excited till yesterday and so against today...but how do I stop myself from not being against to this engagement...this engagement is nothing but a betrayal...Betrayal to Raman...Betrayal to his true love...how can I burden him with my responsibilities...Amma Appa forced me for this engagement but I will not marry him at any cost...I cannot ruin Raman along with me...He does not deserve any of this at all...but he does not even deserve a heartbreak...his heart will break if I call off the wedding...he loves me way too much...but how do I support his love when I have to support someone else...God please give me enough strength to break his heart

- Unsorted Ishita

As she read another page from her diary, her confusions got incremented. The page nothing to calm her down but only made her restless.

And so wasting no time, she proceeded to read ahead.

Kal puri raat sochne ke baad Aaj main Raman se mili

Bahut socha tha ki unhe sab sach keh doon ya jhuth kehke gumraah kar doon par kya pata tha ki na jhuth na sach kuch bhi nahi kehna padega

Gayi thi unka dil todne ke liye par kya pata tha ki is se pehle main kuch karun woh hi mera dil tod denge

Woh jaisa maine socha tha us se bilkul alag nikle

Par acha hi hai ek tarah se

Unke saath zindagi na beeta paane ka jo gham mujhe khaaye jaa raha tha ab woh kuch kam lag raha hai

Ab is baat ka pachtava toh hai ki maine shayad ek galat insaan se mohabbat ki par satisfaction bhi hai ki anjaane mein hi sahi main bach gayi

Acha hua mere kuch kehne se pehle Raman ne hi keh diya

Thank you Raman mujhe bachane ke liye

Ab bas uljhan yeh hai ki is shaadi ko kaise roka jaaye

Kaash jitna aasaan ek couple ke liye Rishta todna hota hai utna hi us couple ki family ke liye bhi hota

Amma Appa toh pehle hi itne naaraaz hain

Ab shayad Toshi Aunty aur uncle bhi ho jayenge

Par naraazgi toh kuch din ki hoti hai shayad thik ho hi jaegi

-Uljhi Hui Ishita

Finally I met Raman today after thinking a lot last night...I had thought so much about either telling him the truth or confusing him by saying a lie but who knew nothing would be needed...neither a truth nor a lie...i had gone to break his heart but I didn't even know that before I do anything he will break my heart...he emerged out to be totally different from what I thought...but it is good in a way...the pain of not being able to spend my life with him was eating me from inside like a pest but now that pain seems less...now there is regret for loving a wrong person but at the time satisfaction for getting saved though unknowingly...it is good that Raman spoke before I said anything...Thank you Raman for saving me...now the only concern is how to stop this wedding...I wish it was as easy for the parents to break a relation as easy it is for a couple...Amma Appa are already upset with me...now Toshi Aunty and Uncle too will be upset...but anger is just for few days and hopefully things will be fine soon.

-Lost Ishita

It was getting too complicated with every page and so not giving any thought to what she read, she immediately turned over to the next page.

But before she could start reading, the bell rang.

Not expecting the person to be him, she cursed the disruption before reaching the door.

But as she opened the door, her eyes stopped to move.

There he stood calm and smiling holding a mystery in his hands and she looked at him with stoned eyes.

Raman yeh, she stammered.

(Raman this, she stammered.)

Pehle ander aa jaun, he taunted.

(Can I come in first, he taunted.)

Sorry...aao, she gave him way to enter and followed him after shutting the door.

(Sorry...come in, she gave him way to enter and followed him after shutting the door.)

Raman yeh koun hai, she asked impatiently.

(Raman who is she, she asked impatiently.)

Ek glass paani milega, he ignored her question.

(Can I get a glass of water, he ignored her question.)

Haan sure, she said before almost running to the kitchen and returning within seconds with water for him.

(Yes sure, she said before almost running to the kitchen and returning within seconds with water for him.)

Thanks, he said after having the water.

Raman koun hai yeh, she asked again.

(Raman who is she, she asked again.)

Humari beti, he finally spoke handing his wife a baby before leaving for the washroom.

(Our daughter, he finally spoke handing his wife a baby before leaving for the washroom.)

Humari beti, she repeated his words while looking at the little baby all confused and unsorted.

(Our daughter, she repeated his words while looking at the little baby all confused and unsorted.)
