CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN

'Shagun is the love of my life, will always be the love of my life and that is never going to change. Nothing and no one will ever come between that or even ever amount to what or who she was to me. So I would appreciate it if you do not speak of her in that manner ever again are we clear...'' Said Raman and Simmi kept quiet looking at her brother before she looked up at Ishita whose face said it all

By the time Raman had realized what he had said it was too late and he had probably given Ishita an answer unintentionally. One he wasn't even sure was what he wanted to say. He turned around and looked at her and he could tell she was hurt.

'Ishu... ' In came Ruhi running taking attention from what was going on

'Hey Chirpy...'' Said Ishita as she knelt down hugging Ruhi

'You waited...'' said Ruhi

'Of course I did... I promised didn't I...'' She said

'Are you okay...'' Asked Ruhi

'Of course...'' said Ishita trying to be strong

'Anyway I wanted to give you this...'' Said Ruhi as she handed Ishita a piece of paper

'It was an assignment at school and I wanted you to have it.'' She added

'Oh thank you... This is so sweet...'' Said Ishita as she took the paper and put it in her purse

'And I have something for you...'' Ishita added as she took out a small golden pendant

'Oh wow...'' said Ruhi

'This is your gift for the...'' Said Ishita

'English paper... I know... Thank you...'' said Ruhi

'It has a number behind it... See...'' Said Ishita showing her

'In case you ever need my help... Just dial that number and I will be there just like that ...'' Ishita added snapping her fingers

'Why... Where are you going'' Asked Ruhi sweetly

'Well honey... I am afraid I am going away...'' Said Ishita

'What... Why...'' said Ruhi her voice breaking

'Nanny... Why are you leaving?'' said Aditya who heard her while he walked in

'I have a few things to take care of away from here...'' Said Ishita

'This is not fair...'' Said Ruhi as she began to cry

'Is it grandma... It is because of what she did isn't it...'' said Aditya who was becoming emotional as well

'What... No... I promise you it isn't that... Besides I am way too stubborn for your grandma to get rid of me that easily...'' said Ishita as she began to tear up

'Then why are you leaving... I don't want you to go...'' Cried Ruhi

'I know honey...'' said Ishita as she hugged Ruhi who had begun crying

You are one very special and beautiful girl, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise...'' said Ishita

'No... No...'' said Ruhi as she cried some more

Raman knew the minute he said what he said he pretty much made up her mind for her. The only thing she was hanging on was the hope that maybe, just maybe she would change his mind but he had done a pretty good job at convincing her that that would never happen and she had no choice.

'Please Ishita stay... Please...'' Cried Ruhi but Ishita just held her tight

'Ruhi... Ruhi...'' Santosh called her taking her out of Ishita's hold

'Ishu... It is Mr. Kapoor ... We need to leave... Like now ...'' Said Mihika and Ishita stood up looking at Raman and Aditya before she started making her way out

'Ishita...'' Aditya called her causing her to turn. She had never heard him call her by her name. He walked to where she was and put his arms around her and he began to cry

'Promise me that once you're done you will come back...'' He said

'Honey I am not coming back...'' She said

'Please... Promise me... You said your super nanny... Now I am calling in a favor to super nanny and I am telling you when you're done, you better come back here... Please...'' He cried

Ishita just put her arms around the boy and held on to him. Aditya was more like her because he never really let people in. It took a lot in him to accept her and this must have been so gut wrenching for him to have to see her walk away. She felt so bad and yet she knew she had to leave.

'Ishu, come on...'' Said Mihika and Ishita reluctantly let go

She picked her purse up and walked out leaving two crying children who kept on calling for her but she couldn't turn

'Papa... Please ask her to stay... Convince her please...'' Begged Aditya but Raman just hugged his son

'Ishita... Ishita... Please... Stay...'' Cried Ruhi but it was too late

'Ruhi honey... I am so ' Santosh began but Ruhi got herself out of her hold and yelled

'This is your fault... This is your fault... I hate you... I hate you...'' Yelled Ruhi before she ran to her room and Aditya with tears in his eyes looked at his grandmother one more time before he too walked away

Raman who couldn't believe how south that went very fast. He probably didn't even realize what he felt until he saw his daughter falling apart. He walked out of there back into the house as he tried to catch up with Ishita

'Ishi...'' He tried calling her

'No... ' Said Mihika standing in his way

'Plea...'' Raman said

'Go back Raman... Take care of your kids... Ishita will be okay... I promise...'' Said Priya and Raman stepped back

At the pool area, everyone was still trying to get over what had just happened. Romi came walking in as he asked after Ishita and Pratik told him what had happened

'Oh God... This isn't good... ' said Romi

'Tell me about it...'' said Pratik

'Hang on, why are you looking for her?'' Pratik added

'We were outside with Mihika and in came these two cars. Four guys came out and they sternly might I add told Mihika Ishita needed to get into their car and they were taking her away. So we have been trying to find her since. It was intense... I asked Mihika was it was all about and she just said Ishita wasn't safe here...'' said Romi

'Safe how...'' said Pratik

'I absolutely have no idea...'' Said Romi as he looked at his mother and Mihika shaking his head

'What the hell is the matter with you too?'' He said

'Romi don't talk to your mother like that'' Said Vishu

'Everyone fails to see this but this girl is dangerous. She didn't tell anyone who she was and has been lying about it for months...'' Said Santosh

'Who cares seriously...'' Said Romi frustrated before he added

' Would that have changed the way you have been treating her... If she had told you she is actually a billionaire what would you have done...? ' But Santosh kept quiet

'You knew...'' Said Simmi

'No of course I didn't but I had an inkling she was linked to the Iyers somehow. I mean why else would they insist on her being on in the deal with us. See unlike you am not that narrow minded to think she was sleeping around. I have seen her work and she is way too talented and advanced as a programmer that I understood it had to do with Iyer technologies. That is why they asked for her. Did I think she would be Iyer's daughter No, Did I think she was lying about who she was yeah but everyone has their own reasons ... Raman trusted her and I trust him... That has always been enough where we three were concerned... When did that change'' said Romi looking at Simmi but she didn't say anything

'I need to find Raman...'' He added and he walked away

Santosh with the help of her husband was taken back inside. She was distraught as well when Ruhi yelled at her. These were her grand babies and she had just realized that the influence Ishita had had on them was too big for them to just let it go. Ruhi was genuinely hurt and Aditya was no less. It was heartbreaking too see them like that which made her even angrier because she kept on thinking Ishita was just playing with their emotions.

Pratik kept on standing in the same place he was since the whole ordeal began. He was genuinely worried for Simmi but it didn't mean he agreed or accepted what she had just done.

'Are you okay...'' Said Pratik

'Yeah...'' said Simmi as she sat down

'I can't believe you just did that...'' Said Pratik

'Did what...'' said Simmi

'You know just the right buttons to hit when it comes to your brother and you knew exactly what reaction you were going to get from him when you mentioned his dead wife'' said Pratik

'I wasn't trying to be mean...'' said Simmi

'Bullshit... That is a load of bullshit and you know it'' said Pratik

'She is a liar... Why are you protecting her? I was just trying to make my brother realize...'' Simmi began

'Realize what... That he isn't allowed to move on and be happy... Or he isn't allowed to be happy because you miserable...Shagun died six years ago... The man has been lonely for six years; he has moaned her for six years... he deserves something meaningful in his life... You won't allow him that... Will you be there for him when he is lonely...? Why won't you let him move on'' said Pratik

How can you say that to me'' said Simmi surprised

'You know... I am disappointed in you Simmi... I never thought you would stoop that low... You would rather he be miserable than be with Ishita isn't it? What is your problem with that girl anyway'' Said Pratik

'Oh My... Why can't anyone see what I see...? She is a liar and was using us the entire time...'' Said Simmi as she began to cry

'No... She was Raman's employee and therefore if she was using anyone then it had to be Raman. But he didn't seem to care about that because he knew her from the start... Why didn't you try and find out the truth first before you jumped to conclusions...'' said Pratik

'Why are you protecting her? She is arrogant and mean...'' Said Simmi

'Whatever Simmi, I hope this was worth it...'' Said Pratik shaking his head as he walked away

'Why is he mad at me? I did nothing wrong'' Said Simmi talking to herself as she tried to convince herself it was the right thing

Raman walked in and he could see Aditya was trying to calm Ruhi down. She was taking this harder than he anticipated. I mean in made sense that it would hurt her because they had gotten so close but this was over the board.

'Aditya please tell papa to ask her to come back...'' Cried Ruhi

'Ruhi it is okay... Everything will be fine...'' Said Aditya

'I want her to be here with me...'' Said a distort Ruhi as she cried in her brother's arms

'Ruhi...'' He called his daughter causing her to look up and him as tears welled up in her eyes

She let go of her brother and fell into her father's arms as the crying began all over again. Aditya just sat by the bed as Raman tried to calm Ruhi down. Raman had seen his children go through loads of nannies but this time it was different. Ishita had really left a mark on them but even he wasn't ready for what was about to happen.

'Papa... You have to listen to me today please...'' Said Ruhi as she sat up wiping tears from her eyes

'Okay...'' Said Raman as he sat on the bed

'Ruhi... Aditya are you alright...'' Said Santosh

'No... No...'' Said Aditya as he got to the door stopping them from coming in

'Wha...'' Santosh began but Aditya locked the door leaving them standing there dumbfounded

'Aditya...'' Raman began

'No... You sit and you listen be mad later...'' Said Aditya and Raman taken back a bit by his boldness sat back down

Ruhi got off the bed and walked to her school bag removing her book and she continued to wipe the tears that were streaming down her face. She cleared her throat and began

'Today's assignment is...''

'What is happening...'' Said Raman

'This was her assignment at school... The one she gave to Ishita...'' Said Aditya

'Today's assignment was for us to write about Mothers...'' She began

'Ru...'' Raman said but Aditya grabbed his hand nodding his head sideways as he told Raman to keep quiet

'I had a mother and my brother Aditya always tells me that she was the best mother in the world. I don't remember her that much because I was too young. But I trust my brother because when Aditya says you are amazing, then you really are. He never says that about anyone, well except me...'' She said sniffing cutely that Raman let out a soft chuckle

'See my mama Shagun had to have been the most amazing woman in the world. I know because of Aditya. But I have never really understood what it means to have a mother until I meant my nanny. She is crazy sometimes, especially when she chases Rinky auntie around the house...'' She added as she giggled a bit between her tears

'That is still funny...'' She said and Raman smiled

'But my nanny is nice, she takes care of me like a mother would. Tucks me in bed at night, reads me stories, she lets me cuddle with her when I have a nightmare. She can't cook, she is horrible at it actually but she cares enough to try. She cares for me when I am sad. She is a horrible singer but tries to sings me lullabies when I can't seem to sleep. She even cares for me and Aditya when wemiss mom. She always lights a candle with us just to make us feel better. She is a lot sometimes but she loves me. Even when we threw her in the pool she still loves us both. I don't know much about mothers but I know I found one in my nanny, my friend and my Ishima...'' Cried Ruhi

CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT

'Papa... I never ask for anything... But I am please asking you to bring her back here. I don't want anyone else. I will be a good girl. I will not be naughty again I swear...'' She added

'I won't play pranks anymore. I swear I am going to be a very good boy but you have to bring her back papa please...'' Said Aditya

'Just... Okay come here and talk to me... Where is all this coming from...'' Said Raman who in all honesty didn't expect this from them

'We like her... She is nice and kind and crazy but she reminds me so much of mom that sometimes I don't miss mom so much. I never thought that was possible papa... You like her too I know you of that is the only reason she is still here even if grandma hates her...'' Said Aditya

'She doesn't hate her...'' Said Raman

'Yes she does... She is always talking bad about her and talking bad about her mom. Who does that?'' Said Aditya innocently and Raman felt embarrassed

'Oka just... Calm down I will figure this out...'' Said Raman

'You bring her back dad... That is it... Grandma doesn't even stay here. She will go back to her house and then you will be sad again and now even Ruhi...'' Said Aditya

'What does that mean'' Said Raman

'Ever since Ishita came, you are happier... You are not so sad anymore and if am being honest neither am I... Please papa...'' Said Aditya as he began tearing up again

'You realize she is not you're...' Said Raman as he hugged his children

'We now she is not mom... But she and we have an understanding you won't understand... But she does...'' Said Aditya

Raman sat there realizing the fears he had been having all along were slowly being squashed by his very own children. He loved Shagun, more than anything and he was going to be grateful to her for everything she had given him and he always thought that falling for someone else would have been a betray not only to her but also his children.

His children had slowly proved to him that moving on was okay. There was no crime or shame in admitting that he was actually moving on. Shagun was the love of his life but who was to say that one never got that twice. He still wasn't sure what he felt about her but he wanted to have the opportunity to find out and he was going to make sure that he got it.

He took his children into his arms and tried calming them down as they all began playing scenarios in which they somehow managed to convince their beloved nanny to come back home. But as Raman was about to find out he had made up his mind a moment too late.

*************************************************************

It was morning and there was still a lot of tension in the house. Simmi wasn't talking to Romi, Romi couldn't careless and just wanted to get the hell out of that house, The Bhalla Parents were anxious about their grandchildren who in turn were doing a pretty good job at completely ignoring them.

When Pratik came by he knew things would have been bad but not that horrible. There was a silence in the house and everyone was behaving like they didn't know each other.

'Good Morning everyone...'' He said

'Morning...'' Said Santosh

'Morning...'' Said Romi but Simmi ignored him

'What the hell took you so long? Come on...'' Said Raman as he grabbed his jacket

'Uhhh am sorry... I didn't think you wanted to go this early...'' Said Pratik

'Well that was stupid of you...'' Said Raman

'Okay... Your overly grumpy I understand why so I will let that one slide...'' Said Pratik as he turned and began walking out of the house

'Where do you think you're going'' Said Santosh but Raman just walked out

'He is going to bring back Ishima...'' Said Ruhi

'Who is that...'' Said Simmi

'Papa... Good luck...'' Said Aditya crossing his fingers

'Yeah thank you...'' Said Raman and off they left while the kids walked back yo their room

They got outside and into the car and Romi could see his brother was nervous and kept of twitching fidgeting with his fingers and his brother could tell this was going to be hard.

'So... What will you say when we get their...'' Said Romi

'I don't know...'' Said Raman

'Well shouldn't you be thinking about what you're going to say when you get their...'' Said Romi

'I am going to wing it'' Said Raman

'How has that been working for you so far'' Said Romi sarcastically

'Just let me think... I will know when I get their...'' Said Raman as he looked out the window and Romi dropped the topic

'Talk about something else... I need to keep my mind off all this until we get their please anyone'' Said Raman

'Uhhh... Okay... I think I am ready to settle down'' Said Pratik

'Hold on... What the hell are you saying'' Said Romi

'I mean I think I found her'' Said Pratik

'And by her you mean who... Priya ...'' Said Raman

'Well not when you say it like that...'' Said Pratik

'Oh Pratik my brother... Cooome ooon'' Said Romi who knew he was just going through a phase

'What... I really like her...'' Said Pratik

'Yeah you do, like you did three other women ago...'' Said Romi

'Well he never said he was settling down so I guess that this is a first'' Said Raman

'Please he has been in love with the same person for as long as I can remember'' Said Romi

'Well maybe I am realizing that that is never going to happen and I am moving on for good this time. You will see...'' Said Pratik

'Okay who is it we are talking about...'' Said Raman

'Priya... He has a thing for her...'' Said Romi

'Yeah that is just one of your flings. I don't see that happening. Besides shouldn't you keep away from that poor woman...'' Said Raman

'What do you mean fling? I haven't even slept with her...'' Said Pratik

Of that is such a load of f**king bull...'' Said Raman causing Romi to turn and look at him while Pratik looked at him through the glass

'What...'' Said Raman

'Nothing it is just a reaction one usually expects from her...'' Said Romi

'You're going off topic...'' Said Raman

'Why do you think I am lying'' Said Pratik

'Because... It is you... Would you believe you if you were me...'' Said Raman

'Normally No... You know what... Never mind we have more important things to worry about'' Said Pratik and Romi chuckled

'Like for starters... You my friend need to work up an apology of apologies...'' Said Pratik

'Why... What actually happened...'' Said Romi

'In simple words he basically said she was just a thing he was tapping because he is still in love with his dead wife...'' Said Pratik

'Nooo... He said that...'' Said Romi

'That is not what I said...'' Said Raman defensively

'Yes and I know that but trust me it is what she heard...'' Said Pratik

'That is not what I said...'' Said Raman

'What did he say exactly...'' Said Romi

'He said and I quote Shagun is the love of my life, will always be the love of my life and that is never going to change. Nothing and no one will ever come between that or even ever amount to what or who she was to me... Then a few other things that I didn't get because Ishita looked like her heart had been plucked out and stomped on'' Said Pratik adding fuel to fire

'Oh yeah you pretty much called her a sloppy second who is worthless...'' Said Romi shaking his head

'Yeah you're f**ked...'' He added as he looked at his phone

'You two are pathetic when it comes to pep talks you know that'' Said Raman

'We tell it how it is bro... ' Said Romi as he pulled into the drive way

'And we just kept your mind off of things. We are here...'' Said Pratik

Raman felt like his heart sink to his chest and he all of a sudden began having a very uneasy feeling about the whole thing. He looked outside, took a deep breath and walked out of the car. He knew if he stood to listen to any more talking from his brother and friend he was going to just get more nervous so he just walked ahead.

He knocked on the door a couple of times but no one came to open. He slowly turned the knob and he realized that the door was open. He slightly opened the door and couldn't quite bring himself to believe what he was seeing.

'What... What is it'' Asked a slightly impatient Romi who could see Raman seemed like life had been sucked out of him

Pratik pushed the door open wondering what the hell it was that Raman was looking at and he couldn't quite believe what he was seeing

'Oh my God...'' He said as stared at the room

'Everything is gone...''Said Raman in shock

The house was completely cleaned out. It looked like no one had been staying there for sometime Raman g\felt his heart sink to his knees not believing she was actually gone.

'She couldn't have just up and ft... They couldn't have just up and left... Can they...'' Said an equally shocked Romi

All of them had very good reason for wanting these three around, all of them kept on dragging their feet not knowing what to do. They say time waits for no one and these three had wasted time instead of talking what belonged to them.

'I can't believe she just... Without saying goodbye ... How could see just...'' Said Raman still in shook

'Someone has to know what happened or where they went to. We can find out form their landlord or something...'' Said Romi as he walked out only to bump into a man who was coming from the back of the house

'You... What are you doing their'' Said Romi causing Raman and Pratik to come out to the porch

'What are you doing here...'' Said the man

'Answer the question'' Said Raman

'This is my house... I have a right to be here, the better question is what are you doing in it'' Said the man

'you're the land lord... Good... Where are the people who were leaving here'' Said Raman

'Three women to be exact... Please if you happen to know anything we would really appreciate it'' Said Pratik

'Uhh the last time I checked this house has been vacant for a year now...'' Said the man

'What nonsense...'' Said Romi

'It is my house, I think I would know if someone has been living here or not...'' He said

'What crap... You and I both know that there were three women living here. Why are you lying'' Said Raman

Priya who was coming from the back as well with a backpack stepped out and looked at them folding her hands across her chest

'Priya...'' Pratik called her walking to where she was

'Hey... You can't...'' The man began

'It is okay... They are with me...'' She said and the man backed down walking away

'What the hell is going on? ' Asked Pratik

'Well other than the fact that you just walked into someone's house unannounced, everything is fine'' Said Priya joking

'Don't play... Enough games... Just tell me what is going on...'' Said Pratik

'I can't do that ...'' She said

'Why not...'' Said Raman

'You know why...'' Said Priya

'Is she okay...'' Raman asked

'Yeah she is...'' Said Priya

'How ab...'' Romi began but Priya cut him off

'Mihika is fine as well I promise...'' She said

'Where the hell did you guys go to? And why was that guy saying this place ha\s been vacant'' Said Romi

'Because he has been paid to say so... Also I sort of can't tell you where Ishita is until she lands...'' Said Priya

'So she is on a plain somewhere...'' Said Raman

'Yeah...'' Said Priya

'Out if the country'' Said Raman and Priya just looked at him

'What don't you just tell me what it is you are doing? What all the secrecy and all the games'' Said Raman

'That secrecy and games is the reason she has stayed alive for seven years Raman... ' Said Priya as she looked up only to see her ride had come

'I gotta go...'' She said as he moved ahead of them

'Hang on... Where are you going'' Said Pratik as he pulled her back

'I gotta go too... Sorry...'' Said Priya

'So you weren't even going to say goodbye...'' Said Pratik

'Am horrible at those kinds of things...'' Said Priya jokingly but Pratik just stayed there looking at her

'Two questions Pratik I need to leave...'' She said as she began tearing up

'Will I ever see you again...'' He asked

'I don't know...'' Said Priya as tears welled up in her eyes

Pratik had a butt load of question he wanted answers to and so many things he wanted to say to her but he knew he had run out of time. He leaned in grabbing then nape of her neck as he pulled her in placing his lips on her and kissing her tears streaming down her face he could taste them. She in turn leaned in wrapping her hands around his shoulders and kissed him back like it was the last time it was every going to happen.

She let go knowing if this continued she was never getting off that porch. She looked at him and he could see she was breaking his heart but she had no choice. He leaned in putting his forehead on hers as he whispered

'You come back to me you hear me... No matter what you come back... Promise me...'' And Priya gave in nodding as tears streamed down her face

'Okay...'' She whispered

He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and let go. She grabbed her backpack put in on her back and walked away without looking back because she knew if she did she probably wouldn't get into that car.

They all stood there in silence as they watched everything they cared about disappear right before their eyes and there was nothing they could do about it. This was supposed to be a start for them all where their lives got back on track and things got better but fate had other plans for them and destiny was not in their sights.
