PART THREE

Ishita was in her hospital attending her patients when her mobile rang. She was almost done with her patient, so she excused giving him medicines and went to attend the call in her cabin.

She glanced at the screen, it was Prateek's call. She picked it up in jiffy and spoke without letting him utter anything, "Prateek, where were you? I had called you like 100 times in morning but you didn't pick. Are you alright..and what about aunty and uncle Prateek? I know they must be angry from me for last night incident. That's why I had been trying to call you Prateek..actually I want to seek their forgiveness. Prateek..you are listening me?" she asked in a confusing tone as soon as she finished.

Prateek- Ishita, I want to talk to you something important.

Ishita sounding scared- Haan to speak up. I am listening.

Prateek- Okay then first tell me, what were you doing last night? You know we were waiting for you so long.

Ishita- Actually, you are aware of my profession na Prateek, I get emergency at any moment and anywhere. I was returning to home only when my car banged with someone's and he was brutally injured. I was so tensed seeing his injuries that ended me bringing him back to the hospital. That's what made me late to come home.

Prateek- Oh it means your profession is more important than me and my family? Haina?

He asked in a stern voice making Ishita little bit annoyed. He already knew it that Ishita's profession was her first priority, knowing this very well he reacted rudely which hurt her a bit.

She replied calmly- Why are you saying like this Prateek, you very well know that I love my job. And my job is that too critical that I can't leave my patients in pain for my sake of happiness. I know I have done a mistake, atleast I should have informed you people about my late arrival but it doesn't mean that you guys are not important for me..you all are my priorities but only after my profession. And you don't really need to worry, I will seek forgiveness from your parents for my mistake and I mean it.

Prateek- You don't need to do that because my parents are not willing to make you their DIL. They think after marriage, you will not give me enough time and I will be a part of your ignorance.

Ishita was stunned listening this, the person whom she had been loving since a year replied instantly about their breakup brought a set of tears in her eyes immediately. But however she managed and exclaimed in a low voice- What?

Prateek faking sadness- Yeah..Ishita..now you have formed a bad image for yourself infront of my mother.She is not ready for our marriage and she had chosen her relative's daughter Kriti for me. Soon, she will be fixing my engagement with her.

Ishita couldn't control herself anymore, she pressed her eyes to endure the pain. Tears rolled down from her eyes continuously making a way. She remained silent for something while she was thinking how her Amma would react knowing this.

Atlast, she wiped her tears and spoke- Then it's fine Prateek. It's not your fault nor your mother's but it was mine one who thought to set a life with a kind of boy who never loved me but just made me his pastime.

Prateek shockingly- Ishu..kya bol rahi ho? I really love you but you know I can't go against my mother.

Ishita- It's better if we forget each other for lifetime. No use of talking now and please don't ever try to connect to my family either try to meet my Amma. There is nothing between us now.

Saying so, she hung up the call and hid her face in her palms while her eyes were busy in sliding down the new set of tears.

Ishita (st)- How would I face Amma? What will I say to her? How will she react knowing we have broken up? Oh Murugann..please give strength to me to confront my Amma. She would break down listening this. But Ishu, you have to reveal this to Amma. I know it is going to be difficult but you have to.

Being determined, she wiped her rolling tears and was getting up from her rolling chair, when her mobile rang. She looked at the caller ID. It was Amma's call. She went into dilemma whether she should pick it up or not. If she would, then what would she utter about Prateek and if not, then what excuse she would make to escape from heart breaking her?

She was lost in her thoughts when her mobile again rang. She picked it up with thrilling eyes and spoke gulping down her saliva- Jee Amma.

Amma- Ishu, why weren't you picking up my call?

Ishita faking a smile- Actually Amma, I was busy in my patients.

Amma- Ishu, come home right now. I want to talk to you something about Prateek.

Ishita closed her eyelids listening his name from her mouth. She spoke with great difficulty- I am busy now.

Amma- Ishu, pls.

Ishita nodded in yes and disconnected the call before her Amma could sense something wrong with her. She got up from her place taking the keys of her car and walked out from her cabin to her car. She started the ignition and made a way towards her home.

***

She reached her home with an hour and entered the home only to see her Amma was crying crashing herself on the floor. Ishita ran to her seeing her condition and within a few seconds, her eyes too got moist as she knew this coming so soon and she had to prepare herself for this.

She went near her and asked scooping her face under her palms- What happened Amma..why are you crying?

Amma buried her head in her embrace and spoke- I know kanna Prateek had refused to marry you.

Ishita closed her eyes as a lone tear escaped from her eyes. She patter her back and spoke pretending to be strong, "It's okay na Amma. What's the need to cry? It's okay and see I am fine."

Amma looked at her lovingly- Kanna, you don't need to hide your feelings from your Amma. You can cry aloud in my embrace pouring all your pain. I can feel Ishu how it feels when someone goes away from our life whom we give our whole life.

Finally, Ishita broke down hearing her Amma's words. A bundle of new tears were appearing in her eyes continuously as she had been trying hard not to show them but now she couldn't resist anymore. She hugged her Amma while the tears were rolling down and spoke sobbingly- Amma..I loved Prateek so much Amma. I almost gave him my life but he never meant the value of my love. He wasn't worth of me. I trusted him so much..so much like I always believed that someone is there for me to stand beside and help me in bad times. But Prateek left me Amma just because I couldn't give him time due to my profession.

Amma wiping off her tears- It's alright kanna. See, everything happens for the best. It's good that we saw the real face of Prateek or else something bad might have happened after marriage. Thank to Murugann, Ishu. He saved your life from not marrying a coward who never understand my beloved daughter.

Saying so, she kissed on her temple smilingly- Now, smile. Forget him, Ishu. I am sure someone is there in the universe who is waiting for you to arrive in his life and make his life blissful. There's absolutely no need to shed tears for moron.

Ishita stopped sobbing and asked wiping off her last teardrop- But Amma, how did you get to know that he has backed off from marrying me?

Amma started narrating her the flashback when she had got the call from Prateek's mom.

(Flashback)

Amma picked up the phone and spoke- Jee samdhan jee, boliye.

Prateek's mom- We're no more going to be in laws of your daughter, Madhvi jee. I have decided that I won't let my son marry a girl who hasn't time for her own life. If she can't come on time to meet her future in laws then how would she maintain and give time to her husband after marriage?

Amma (shockingly)- What are you saying Sheena jee, my Ishu is so sensible. And moreover she's very committed to her job. Yeah I agree, she was late yesterday night but as soon as she reached home, she apologized me for that and she also tried to seek your forgiveness by calling Prateek in the morning but he didn't pick the call. She is very sorry for that.

Prateek's mom- But I have decided to get Prateek married with a girl of my choice. I knew he would make a mistake while choosing a girl for him and he really did.

Amma couldn't bear Ishita's insult anymore, she simply disconnected the angrily but she was heart broken listening it.

(Flashback ends)

Ishita hugged her Amma tightly and spoke caressing her face- It's fine Amma. And you see, I am alright as I have realized he wasn't worthy for my love.

She said smiling hardly to make her mum believe that she was okay with it.

They talked a little to enlighten their heart and make each other believe that they are not much affected by it.

Ishita smilingly wiping off her tears- Amma, where is Mikku?

Amma- She has gone to her college.

Ishita stood up from her place and also made Amma stand. Then, she made her sit on the couch and spoke happily- You relax here, while I am going to make coffee for us.

Amma- I love you Ishu.

Ishita- I love you too Amma.

Saying so, she went to the kitchen pretending as if she was normal and happy with her ongoing phase.

On the other side, Raman was laying on his bed thinking constantly about Ishita. He had a firm desire to meet her and have some light hearted chit chat but he didn't know why was he feeling like this but he was! After his break-up with Shagun, he was shattered into pieces and had determined not to fall in love again but a kind of miracle, his heart was thudding with a thought as if it is only HIS Ishita who could bring him back to his world and stick all his broken pieces to make a heart for loving someone again. He was trying to get some ideas to meet her when his gaze went upon his wrist which was bandaged. An idea blinked in his mind and he got up with the keys of his car and walked outside from his mansion. It was a strange feeling for him as he was trying hard to hate the word LOVE' but he couldn't after seeing her in such a simple attire and that too with an angelic face. All his mind and heart were going out of control just to have a look at thoroughly as if he badly needed her to take him in her embrace and remove all the void of his life with her pure love and simplicity.
