A Small Little Thing called Life - Ishra TS [Completed]

"Ishu are you feeling better now...??"

"Yes Rinky, I am...btw, what did the doctor say... is the baby fine..??"

"Yes, the baby is fine Ishita...but... It's you who's weak, ... and the concern here is , baby will eventually get affected Ishu... why don't you just understand that..."

"But Rinky, I do take good care of myself , i do follow all your eating and medicine schedules and i'm also going to that Easy-To-Deliver exercise club... what else you expect me to do... I think this is just normal weakness a lady endures while pregnancy..."

"You are physically doing Good Ishitu... I'm talking about your mental health, Doctor doesn't even know about you ,but even she could understand that you are emotionally very down and stressed out. See, I know the situation you are in and whatever my baby bro is doing is wrong..."

"Nooo... Raman isn't wrong Rinky... It's me ... I put myself through this , My intention was to support him and lessen his pain and sufferings, but I guess, i shouldn't have done something like that, I shouldn't have hidden something like that... Especially, such matters..."

Tears started to roll through her cheeks... Rinky pulled her into a bear hug... Ishita held her tighter...

"I'm thankful to you Rinky... You have been my angel... you have helped me in my life a lot... you have showed me correct paths as and when i required them..."

"Shut up... You are also very special to me... right from the days when you were my fan... I do reminisce those days, I so miss my fan in you... your comments on my acting skills or the surprises... huh... nostalgic...anyways... right now we have to leave... otherwise these people are gonna kick us out..."

While in the car... Seeing Ishita in deep thoughts.....

"Ishita do you remember our first meeting at the studio where you came with lots of roses..."

"Yeah... I never knew, i would be able to meet you then... I just texted you, because i thought you were going through the same in your life... and stuff... but then , when i got your message back and those advices... i was somewhat relieved from my situations then... somehow convinced my mother to let go off me to see you after my broken engagement... when you expressed you would love to meet me... Those were the days Rinky... when i never even in my dreams thought you would eventually become my sister in law... Everything just fell in place after our meeting... My health got better, even my counsellor was astonished to see those remarkable changes in me... My amma was so thankful to you... and the most important thing, your advice to me to pursue my higher education and all those... It just feels nostalgic... You are seriously a magic wand..."

"Ohhh... hello... Don't make me fly... Btw, I'm annoyed ... You stolen my family from me... they all love you more... My di , My maa , My papa , My dadu , even the little ones... earlier it use to be me... their fav aunt... but now, it's you... huh.."

"You aren't serious are you..."

"Huh... Madam ... Up for Ice-cream your fave Choco-dip?????"

"That's because of Ra..ma... ahem... I mean Raman never use to let me eat any other...eventually I fallen in love with it..."

"Ohhh hooo...Somebody's taste buds have changed... Ahem ahem..."

"Ohhh... you of all shouldn't tease... common..."

"I love teasing you both... lovey dovey couple... actually... you both give me chances to get teased, not my fault..."

"huh..."

"What.."

"Don't you remember, when you came back from your never ending higher studies... that day, it was you both... the way you both were catching each other's glimpse... omg... I and mumma... knew it then and other... bhai has fallen for you... otherwise , the one who runs away from marriage. relationships and especially girls would never have ogled at you like that... The best part was, when you fell right into his arms... Ohhh... man... Someone can surely make a show ... romantic show of your story... "

For the first time, Ishita had a genuine smile , Rinky noticed it... and thought to herself...

(ST)This is what i want Ishu, Doctor's plan is working... I cannot let anything happen to you or the baby... You have to be in good mood... This baby is important Ishu... not because it will certify your truthfulness, but because, this will be the connecting node in your love story ahead.

"Ishita do you remember the way mom asked you to marry Raman... n they way you were looking at me for some help... haha... I'm still not over from that face, that puppy face of ours... I tell you mumma was so enjoying that too... and then when bro made an entry to the room... you were all numb... then me and mumma played with him too... Oh my god that was such a fun... you must have seen Raman's face then... he looked as if someone had sucked air from his lungs... "

"When ???"

"Don't you remember... when Raman came into the room, we told him that you are getting married... "

"Omg... when did this happen... i was so not anticipating maa's marriage proposal then that , i don't even know this happened..."

"Yeah , we know that...you were actually absentmindedly blushing and that helped us more to tease him and he actually believed us... haha... "

"Haawww... maa did this... omg... i didn't even know... "

"Then... you had your flight so, i told him to drop you to the airport... again you started blushing... then... you went to freshen up... Mummaa and I told him... the truth... Omg... you should have seen the blush and satisfaction on his face... he literally had a sigh of relief..."

"I can never ever forget that drive... I almost thought today i am going to miss my flight ... but still we made it on time... I didn't feel like going away leaving him behind... ... Then he came in with me...I wondered how could he do that... but I hesitated to ask... we had our dinner together for the first time... and then he told himself understanding my confusion...That he just booked a ticket... to enter the airport... I was shocked and angry... Omg... I can never forget that day... So many things happened... and I met my soulmate... He is just perfect for me in his own imperfect way..."

Ishita said dreamily ...

"Ahem ahem... I liked the Marriage drama more... all those Punjabi Madrasi combo ceremonies...sometimes the tamil costumes... sometimes those Punjabi sherwanis... I tell you he got hell annoyed... he just wanted you in his room...The best part was, you both were teased a lot by all the cousins... "

"I know... huh... Very bad you people were... you people didn't let us speak also... "

"As if you both heed any attention to our teasing... you both were busy with yourselves..."

"Nothing like that..."

"But, the funniest part was when you weren't leaving me... "

"When ???"

"Suhaag Raat madam..."

Ishita blushed hard...

"I was so scared to get in there... I didn't know why but i got reminded of my past in those moments and again was scared of moving ahead..."

"Huh... you weren't even letting me go... you hugged me as if , your life was dependent on me... I got scared... you kept on mumbling you don't want to go... Mummaa was super pissed... then i had to cool you down... my poor brother was wondering what's wrong... Mumma then for the first time shouted at both of us... Oh my... i thought dadu is going to yell at you next but then he supported you like anything... then... somehow you got convinced... i made you enter the room... made you sit in the bed... huh... You were literally shaking... that eyes... you were pleading not to go... I didn't had it in me to leave you alone so, i had to do that... wait till Brother enter..."

"Huh... The very first mistake of mine..."

"Ohhh hooo... Nothing like that... every girl is afraid... Even i was... Do you thing I wasn't afraid ???? If you ask mumma... even she will say... she was... it was just that... new house, new culture , new people... bad past experiences... everything added to it... But believe me Raman understood your situation fully because , We both saw Simmi di do the same... "

"Yes... He understood me... But, I didn't understand him then... I didn't think about him... He wanted to enjoy our togetherness... but, something in me stopped myself from moving ahead that day... But, i never expected him to make me feel that good that day... He made me feel owned... He spoke to me about the family members asked me about mine... we just kept on speaking... and i didn't even know... as in when i drowsed off... and eventually felt asleep in his arms... He wanted a wife in me and I only served him his friend..."

"You both were perfect couple"

"No... you and Jiju... Just perfect..."

"haha... You are in your own way... You both are dependent on each other and the best part is you both don't even understand it..."

"Huh... Care to explain..."

"Whenever he use to have random schedules... you always use to be up... have dinner, breakfast and lunch with him... when you yourself had a random schedule of work and Raman use to do the same... But, both of you never made it a big issue or acknowledged..."

"That's so normal..."

"No... baby... It's not... You both enjoy the bliss of togetherness without even knowing it..."

"huh... "

"Achcha you remember... the day when he came all drunk... That day... I was surprised to see you were making all his favourite dishes and he just entered drunk and you were just annoyed..."

Rinky noticed the change in her demeanor... She stopped the car...

"Ishita where are you... Come out ... we are home already... Come..."

Ishita got out still in trance... her mind was not letting her forget that one day which took everything away from her...

"Raman... Are you drunk????."

"Ishita... "

He hugged her not saying any further...

"Raman Whao... what what are you doing..."

He hugged tighter and nuzzled her neck...Giving wet kisses here n there...

"Raman... You..."

He captured her lips in a soul searing kiss, deepened the kiss even further while Ishita responded him without hesitating and he started exploring her further... Which made Ishita lose her control too... and They consummated their marriage in most unique situation possible.., where one of them didn't anticipate it, Though loved those moments as precious treasures and the other wasn't in senses to acknowledge the moment they both were awaiting in their Marriage... You heard it right, After the First Night, As a perfect partner , Raman waited for his Ishita to be as passionate as he was, in all this. Though, Both of them didn't knew it would end up this way... their special moments would be this way...

After the Love making session, he slept off in her arms... Though she wasn't anticipating such a thing coming from him, She didn't take it otherwise.

"Raman... I'm very Happy today... I was in initial days of our marriage very scared with all of this., But then, I thought you don't have interest in me... You see my past made me feel complexed... But, Today , I feel owned... I don't really know if you will remember this , But , I will never forget these moments Raman... You showed me how much you love... Even though weren't in your senses, The way you touched me as if I'm a fragile baby, you showed me how much you love me... If you will not remember this, don't worry, we will create another treasure of memories for ourselves... but, i will be more shy then..."

She pulled his cheeks , Kissed his forehead and got up to put her clothes , though she was hell tired and sour, As she didn't want him to see her all naked.

"Ishita... Ishitaaa..."

"Huh... yes Rinky..."

"where are you lost my girl...?? huh...Common... Have this milk... And yeah mom is on skype and she wants to talk to you..."

"Hi Maa..."

"How are you..???"

"I'm fine... ernmmm... how is Papa... and others at home...???"

"Everyone is doing good..."

"How is Raman maa??"

"He is doing good too... What happened to you... Rinky said you aren't willing to have godhbharayi (Ceremony name which is conducted while a woman is pregnant)"

"No maa... You know how the situation is... I don't wanna ruin Raman's mood Further..."

"So what about the Kid... Don't you want blessing for the kid..."

"Maa... "

"Don't do that... I'm not budging for any of your puppy faces more...First you wanted to leave the house and stay with Rinky, then, you didn't come here for once... I'm just pissed Ishita... You are our daughter too... But, all you got to think about is just Raman and you... You didn't even come here for Lohri... and That was your first lohri with your husband... "

"Mummaa... You leave this... Don't make her cry now,... Let her be... Nothing goes wrong, when your morality and humanity is intact... Leave her alone, If she wishes s..."

"Maa.. I'm really very sorry, i put you all through this... Raman will not like any of this... If you still think that this should be done for the welfare of the kid then go ahead, I am really very grateful that my in laws trust me enough to support me when their own son doesn't trust this kid as his own... "

"Shut Up... I'm your in law??? Is that what you think of me... Did you forget, I told you I am your Mother... You are our daughter... don't anger me more by saying all this or by making us a third person in your life..."

"Sorry... I didn't mean to say it that way... And you have to believe me when i say this, I don't have any to call my family other than you all... You all are the reason, I'm still pulling this out... Otherwise, i don't even know, what would i be doing..."

"Don't get emotional , doctor has prohibited you... Anyways, whatever you decide , I'm with you dear... I didn't say anything to hurt you... It's just that a mother can't see both her kids in such pain..."

"Is Raman okay maa???? why is he in pain...??? anything happened ?????"

"How you think he will be okay Ishita... That too without you... He is so use to you, He is habitual to you... He is not the same as before... "

"This is all because of me... I'm hurting all... I shouldn't have had birth..."

Ishita cried hugging Rinky... While her mother looked at her helplessly... Though spoke up determinately...

"Ishita... I'm coming to you tomorrow..."

"No maa... Raman needs you more... please don't leave him alone... please... see im good..."

Said Ishita wiping her tears away...

"No Ishita... I'm coming, In fact daduji has ordered all of us to celebrate your GodhBharayi... So we all are coming... Simmi and her family will join you shortly..."

"Okay maa... But, Is he coming...?"

"Yes ... Rinky Raman is also coming... Dadu ji's order, he won't be able to avoid him..."

"That's a good news... after seven months finally these two will meet..."

"Maa... Don't force him... please..."

"Ishita, let us handle all this... you just be at peace,,,... "

"Hmmm..."

"Btw, I forgot to say... KIds are coming, so be careful, until i come... don't play with them as you use to... don't tire yourself"

"Okay"

This time genuinely she smiled thinking about the cherries she fell in love with...

"Ishita we all will come in the noon tomorrow... Don't stress yourself with food making... I won't refuse you to cook, because i know you won't sit quietly... but, I am warning you , Don't stress... Make something that you make regularly for yourself... just fit the quantity to us all.."

"Okay maa..."

"Rinky aren't you going home...??"

"No mumma... I'm here, Doctor has advised me not to let her alone... any how your son in law is out of town..."

"Okay good then... "

"Okay mummaa... We shall sleep now... "

"Ohhh yeah... even i wanna sleep... It was a long day for me... arranging everyone's clothes and packing ... huh... Okay lovelies bye... see ya tomorrow..."

"Good night... I'm waiting for you... "

-----****-----

"Ishita You also go and Sleep... I have to call up your jiju and talk... Lemme know if you want something or feeling dizzy again... i will just finish call asap and will sleep beside you..."

"Don't bother take you time,..."

Ishita went to her room... Thinking of the last time she met him... before seven months...

"Ishitaa... Ishita yaar... Is everything okay... why the hell did you faint... ??"

Everyone looked at Raman as if he is crazy...

"What... Will you all just keep staring at me or will at least tell me what happened to my wife..."

"You are the reason behind all this..." Said his mother accusing him much to his surprise making him perplexed..

"Whao... what... what did i do???"

"Raman , I didn't expect it to be this early... She is just a kid... Not fair..."

"What... what did i do... will you all keep on talking in puzzles..."

"Raman ... They all are teasing you... It's every wife's wish to tell her husband all this by herself... Give her a chance she will tell you... " Said Daduji...

"Ishita what happened to you honey... Is everything alright... Did you overwork yourself for me or cooked something which requires your tedious hard work..." Asked Raman with all the concern.

"Ishita tell him common..."

"hmmm..." She nodded...

"Tell me honey what happened.."

"Raman... It's ... like.. I'm... no ... I mean you... no... I mean we...that day ... no i mean... "

"Heyyy... To be mom... Omg... I'm flying... you made me aunt so soon... I didn't expect it to be so soon... " came a chirpy voice from the door... It was of Rinky... who got the news from her mother and took the next flight to wish her friend and brother...

"What ... what did you just say... and wait... how are you here..."

"Rinky you just let the news out.. let Ishita tell him... get in... first..."

"Omg... he doesn't know... yet .. I thought he must be flying already distributing sweets and stuffs..."

"What's happening here"

"Ishita common tell him..."

"Raman... I'm ...I mean we ... "

"Ishita common..." said Rinky with all joy... Though Ishita had double mind how he will see this, and will he remember their consummation that happened...

"Raman... You are ... we are going to be parents..."

"What... I'm not sure , i get that..."

"Raman , I am Pregnant"

"What... "

"Common Raman you are going to be a father... common have sweet..."

"Mom... wait a minute..." He shouted at top of his voice...

"What wrong with you Raman..."

"Ask This lady... what's wrong with her... Ishita how can you be pregnant... you are kidding right??"

Ishita had tears by then... She understood he doesn't remember anything that had happened that day... She couldn't think what he will think of her right now... when a question came from his voice that changed her life upside down...

"If you are joking that's really not looking like one... and If you are pregnant... I want to know... when did we have any of such relation... I am waiting for you , for nearly like three months or so... and here, you are claiming to be pregnant with my child... Ishita out with it... I'm not in my right frame of mind to think... My mind isn't working... just tell them all... that we are not pregnant..." Looking at her face, he couldn't help but ask that one question he never wanted to ask... " Is that your Ex-boyfriend's ??? Is that that Subbu's ?? You recently met him didn't you ???... Will you ever speak up.. I'm going mad here... Are you kidding..???? ... "

He just blabbered all that came to his mind, without even thinking or devising what he was talking about..

"Raman.." There came a very fragile voice.. which he dreads he hear... She was all scared...

"Raman... That's your child... "

"Okay... when did i touch you... "

"Raman..." She said helplessly... Not able to say anything more... Rinky came to her support ... Raman stomped off his feet , for the first time leaving behind his crying Ishita... not able to or rather not wanting to console her back...

"Ishita.. what's all this..."

Ishita started shaking thinking the worst by then... Rinky was advised by all to take care of her... when she spoke up...

"Rinky can you do me a favour??"

Everyone turned to her astonished...

"What happened Ishu...??? what you want me to do... Is everything okay... you both are scaring me,,,,,"

"Rinky can you take me with you to Mumbai... I swear , I won't disturb you... will you please...??"

"Of course you can come with me anytime... but what's all this... what's happening..."

"Please just take me... i don't have it in me.. to see Raman's eyes which may have hatred for me... "

"Why will he hate you Ishu??? are you mad... You are his Lifeline...Don't you know ... how much he loves you..."
