Part 9
...
Raman roughly pulled his arm from ishitas grip "aah" cried ishita. "What happened?" Asked raman. But seeing a similing ishita, he became angry and went inside the house. . .
Ishita follwed him walking slowly holding her stomach.
He went straight to the couch and sat near Appa and opened the newspaper.
Ishita entered and looked at him with her big innocent eyes "Raman?"
She was actually a bit scared. What was he thinking? she worried.
"Raman" she called in a pleading voice.
He didnt reply. Didnt even look up from newspaper.
...
Appa said "Ishita, go and have lunch"
Ishita stood there watching raman sadly.
Appa came near ishita and put his arm around her.
"Appa" said ishita her voice cracking, looking towards Raman.
...
Neelu served ishita her food.
Ishita sat there on the dining table turning the spoon.
Simmi saw this and went to Appa and said. "Uncle ji dont worry i will handle this" "ok beta" appa left worrying.
Simmi wanted to give a smack on her brothers head.
But she controlled herself and went and sat on the couch and said in a commanding voice " bhai go and have food or sit with her. "
Raman threw down the paper annoyed. "Why? when she can do everything according to her wish and think bad about her life then why she needs me?"
"My love is not enough for her that she lives in her past?"
"Bhai, what r u saying? Ishita was always happy from the day she became pregnant!" "Only today she was sad, may be because the due date is near"
"Remember how freaked out i was during ananyas birth" "ishita is far better than me" simmi said " bhai dont forget that ishita has put her own life in danger by carrying this baby" " it is a miracle that she and baby is fine till today" simmi closed her eyes for a second as if thanking God.
Raman replied "I know we have been through a lot. No couple mighy have faced what all we have faced together. But i have moved on from whatever has happened. It is a miracle that Ishita is pregnant but she thinks otherwise"
Raman just let out his whole anger.
...
Meanwhile Ishita sat silently at the dining table, a lone tear left her eye. She took the spoon and reluctantly ate the food made specially for her.
Simmi tried to calm down Raman.
Raman told simmi what neelu told him...
"We promised eachother that we will forget about the past. But.." stopped Raman.
"Bhai its not easy for ishita, she has lost 2 babies, a woman can never forget it, no matter if the child is unborn or surrogate , she thinks it as her child once its conceived she has a connection with the baby... please bhai, dont blame ishu, she needs u now more than ever. U shouldnt misunderstand her "
Raman nodded and thought for a while and got up and went and sat near ishita.
Simmi once again closed her eyes to thank god.
...
Ishita was about to eat from her spoon when Raman put his hand over ishitas and ate it from her spoon, which brought a smile on her face.
"What r u having? He said chewing " oh god, this is so bitter"
"Its special food ishita babhi has been eating since last 9 months. Said neelu. "Its best for babys health".
Raman was shocked.
Simmi walked by them saying " ishita, i dont know how u eat this. When i was pregnant i couldnt eat it even for a week!"
Ishita smiled. And silently took another spoonful.
Raman felt guilty for everything.
He pulled her into a hug and lingered and kissed her forehead.
..
"Raman we r in dining room" ishita said pushing him away blushing.
"Acha, let me ask u who kissed me outside in front of.. raman whispered.
Ishita covered his mouth with her hand.
Raman had a naughty big smile on his face.
..
Just then the door opened and in came ruhi and behind her mihir wearing her bag lunch bag and water bottle.
He looked like he was studying in kindergarten.
Neelu laughed at him.
"Ishima" ruhi screamed and ran to ishita only to be stopped by raman who picked her up on his lap. ...
Little ruhi was not too happy with this. She leaned over and kissed her ishima and ishita wanted to take her in her arms. But raman refused.
Mihir put down ruhi's things and came and sat on the dining table.
" wow babhi what r u having? I am starved."
"Neelu bring aloo parata, rice and curry's for mihir and raman" said ishita.
"No babhi i want what u r having" it looks yummy"
"No mihir , this is medicinal food. "
"Babhi, u know i am very health conscious" unlike bhai ". Ishita giggled at mihir...
Raman was irritated.
"Yes, give him this, after all i think he is also pregnant, seeing his antics"
Mihir ignored ramans comments... and kept grinning..
...
"Chalo ruhi have ur milk, said raman" , neelu brought a glass of milk.. "no papa, mihir chachu fed me icecream on the way."
Raman became further annoyed. "Ruhi is not supposed to have icecream" he stared at mihir.
"Its ok mihir, she can have once in a while" defended ishita.
Raman was so irritated at ishita and her chamcha mihir.
"Come on beta, lets get u changed"
"I want Ishima"
"Ishima is busy with mihir chachu, lets save ourselves" ...
And they left ishita and mihir...
"Babhi, the whole family will be leaving tonight, will u be fine? I can stay back if u want"
"Ishita felt uneasy but she hid it" i am absolutely fine, raman is there with me" " its unavoidable, u should all go...
Mihir nodded. "Ok babhi, if u r so sure"
But even mihir was worried...
To b continued..
Pls like and comment.
