PART 4
Shoot for Raman's company is done. Raman took a sigh of relief. He took his keys in one hand and jacket on the other. He walked off the sets and was going towards his car, that he noticed the rain has stopped, finally. He reminisces how he behaved with Ishita back on set, and took his sorrow and frustration out on alcohol. He was drinking and driving, unknowing to the fact where he was driving to.
"Tum ek baanjh ho! Manhoos ho tum! Arey tum toh sauteli maa kehla ne ki bhi layak nahi ho! Tum sauteli maa se bhi battar ho! Meri beti ko khali, tumne! Aaj tumne saabit kardiya sauteli maa sauteli hoti hai!" Raman's ear was ringing with the words he hurled at Ishita 7 years back.
He thought alcohol will ease his bitter past away but instead it brought back all the painful memories, he's trying to forget.
"Itni sal mainey socha I killed you! Tum meri wajah se mar gayi, apni jaan dedi! Aur aaj jab tum zinda ho, how can I face you? How?" Raman asked himself in drunken state.
"Issey accha tum chali jaow Ishita! Yahan se, meri zindagi sey chali jaow, tum waapas kyun ayi?" Raman was blabbering to himself.
Just as he was about to another sip of alcohol, his eyes were hit by a flashing light, he cudn't clearly see through his car's windscreen, and just turned his car's steering to the right, and it hit a big barrel, causing his car to stop. Raman came out of the car, unscathed. He was wondering where he is. He walked a few steps ahead, stumbling in his drunken state, trying to figure out the place he reached. After walking for sometime, he raised his head up, looked around, until a black figure standing far away, caught his eye. Raman walked ahead stumbling, to figure out who was standing there silently; he realized a woman is standing there.
"Excuse me? Can u tell me where is this place?" Raman asked in his tipsy voice.
Then came, no reply.
"Ajeeb aurat hai! Kuch bol nahi rahi!" Raman whispered to himself.
He again took few steps closer to that person and asked again, "Hello, miss? R u dumb? Main kuch puch raha hun? Aap kuch bol kyun nahi rahi?"
"Kyan bolun?" the woman replied.
Raman found her voice familiar.
"Ji! Yeh konsi jaga hai?" Raman asked curiously.
"Tum bhul gaye Raman, yeh konsi jagah hai?" The woman took Raman's name and turned around her face.
"I-I Ishita?" Raman mumbled.
Raman then realised it was the same place where Nidhi's car accident took place, and where he lost his Ishita and Ruhi.
Raman realized Ishita is standing almost at the edge of the cliff. He gazed at Ishita. Ishita with teary eyes and a pale face was looking at Raman. The whole scenario made Raman a little sober.
"Ishita, tum kya karrahi ho wahan?" asked an anxious Raman.
"Waapas aow abhi!" Raman ordered.
"Nahi Raman!" Ishita replied.
"Tum pagal hogayi ho? Gir jawgi Ishita, pls come to me!" Raman said in a soft tone.
"Bohot derr hochuki hai, Raman!" answered a sobbimg Ishita.
"Aap toh yahi chahtey hain, ki mai marjaow, haina?"
"Nahi Ishita! Kabhi nahi! Pls Ishita aisa kuch maat karo, pls! Meri baat suno Ishita!" Raman sobbed.
"Main manhoos hun Raman! Meri wajah se Ruhi margayi! I don't deserve to live,Raman!" Ishita in a crying yet soft tone replied back.
Raman took more steps forward, slowly.
"Ishita, aisa kuch nahi hai! Tum pls wahan se hato! Pls! Meri baat manlo Ishita, I can't live without you, pls waapas ajaow!"
"No Raman! I deserve to die! I shud've died that night! Koi baat nahi aaj vo kasar puri hojaygi!"
Ishita wasn't ready to listen to Raman, as if she has decided once and for all, that she wud end her life, no matter what.
"Ishita, what's wrong with you? Why r u doing this to me? Pls I beg you, don't do that again! Mai marjaunga Ishita, pls comeback!" Raman sobbed and took few steps ahead closer to where Ishita is standing.
"Bohot der hochuki hai, Raman! Goodbye!" saying that Ishita jumped off the cliff.
Raman ran to catch her hand but failed.
"Ishita!!!!!!!" Raman yelled in utmost shock.
His eyes and mouth are wide open, he cudn't believe his eyes what he just saw. Ishita jumped off in-front of him. She died in-front of his eyes and he cudn't do nothing but shed tears, loads of tears. Raman fell down on his knees, devastated at the fact that he cudn't save Ishita from going away
"Ishita!!!! How can you leave me again?" Raman screamed in sorrow.
"Are you alright?" Suddenly a voice came from around.
Raman looked at around but there's no one present there except him.
The voice increased. He didn't understand what's happening.
"Hello! You ok sir?" A man shook Raman's shoulder.
Raman opened his eyes, and looked around, that's when he realized, he was dreaming all this time.
"Ishita?" Raman whispered.
"Where am I?" Raman asked the man.
"Kya sir, aap set pe ho! Aap kisi Ishita ka naam le rahe they zor zor sey, sab theek hai sir?" The man asked.
"Oh! Haan theek hai! Thanks for waking me up!" Raman replied with fear on his face.
"Thank god ye sapna tha!" Raman assured himself.
"I-I Ishita, is she alright? I have to check!" Raman immediately rushed to Mani, to ask bout Ishita.
While Mani was busy in a phone call, Raman interupted him.
"Mani! Mani! Ishita! Did she reach home? k-kaise ha woh? Uska phone aya?" Raman asked with a tensed face.
Raman's action took Mani by surprise.
"Tumhein kabse uski fikaar honey lagi? Oh mai yaad dila ta hun, did'nt u just call him manhoos again few hours back? Tumnei toh kaha usey jane k liye, aur abh vo chali gayi hai, khush nahi ho?" Mani said in an angry tone.
Raman looked down, as if he's bout to cry.
"Mani pls! I have to know how is she! Pls bataow, tumhari baat hui ussey?" Raman asked softly with a bit of tears in his eyes.
Mani was hell shocked upon seeing that Raman is actually begging him to get info bout Ishita. That look in his face, made Mani speechless.
"Well, I've been trying to call her but... she's not picking up her phone! It's almost been an hour she left, pata nahi ghar pohchi bhi nahi...upar se itni baarsih ho rahi hai, maybe traffic jam mein phasi hogi! You don't have to worry, Raman! If I get any news bout her, I'll let u know!" Mani said politely.
"Oh! Ok, thanks Mani!" Raman said in a low voice.
Mani was looking at Raman, observing the fact that how much he's worried bout Ishita. Raman was tensed wud be an understatement for Mani. He never saw so much anxiousness on Raman's face for Ishu. It made him aware, that Raman still cares bout Ishita a lot. Mani was assured that Raman still loves Ishita, despite of the bomb Raman keeps on bursting at Ishita. Maybe it was all just facade, Raman was carrying till now, Mani thought.
Mani told Raman to relax and bid him bye as the ad shoot(for Mani's company) is bout to start.
Raman sat down on the couch beside, thinking bout Ishita.
"Vo sapna, kya tha? I thought I lost you again! It was so real! I hope aisa kabhi kuch na ho!" Raman with a sad face ended his mind talk.
(After some time)
Ruhi, disguised as Ruhaan entered the set, for the second shoot.
"Lights..Camera...Action!" says the director.
Ruhi is standing still, unable to move or speak, lost in her own world.
"Ruhaan, what are you doing?" The director yelled.
Ruhi, didn't replied. She was frozen in-front of the camera, with fear covering her face.
"What is going on, Ruhaan?" Are you alright?" The director came to Ruhi and shook her shoulder. Ruhi finally came to her senses.
"Vo-vo Sirr, a-actually...I...need a bre-break, urgent break p-pls sir!" Ruhi mumbled.
Mani was standing right there, very pissed by Ruhaan's behavior.
"What is this Ruhaan? Now what do you want? Vaise bhi bohot der hochuki hai...abh yeh konsa tamasha hai tumhara? Chup chaap yeh shoot karo samjhey, or I'll sue your company if u don't start the shoot within next few mins..!" Mani ordered angrily.
Ruhi kept mum.
Raman was bout to leave that he saw Mani, slightly yelling at Ruhaan.
"What's the problem? Is everything alright?" Raman asked Mani.
"See Raman, this young kids' tantrums, he's saying he needs a break...I have wait too long, I need to wrap up the shoot and attend a meeting, asap!"
"Relax Mani! It's alright, give him a break for few mins...why don't you go attend the meeting, I'll stay here and look after your shoot?"
Mani was suprised by Raman's proposal. He wondered why is Raman being so extra helpful, all of sudden. He was confused with Raman's sweet nature but he had no option, he had to go for his urgent meeting so he accepted Raman's proposal and went off.
Raman looked at Ruhi. Ruhi was looking down in fear, didn't spoke anything, she was just standing still, with her eyes looking at the floor.
"Yeh, Ruhaan itna dara huwa kyun hai?" Raman wondered.
Raman shook her shoulders, it struck Ruhi and she became became normal and came to her senses. Ruhi was almost trembling in fear. Raman asked her the reason of her weird behavior, that's when Ruhi recalled what had happened a while before.
Flashback
"Adi Bhaiya!!!!!!!!" Ruhi screamed seeing Adi getting hit and lying down on the floor.
She went to Adi, lifted his face up, and tried to wake him up with a few slaps on his cheeks.
That's when a force grabbed her hands and pulled her back.
"Who are you?" Ruhi asked with tears rolling down her face.
"How dare you hit my Adi bhaiyya?" Ruhi yelled.
The bearded man with hat on top, didn't answer.
Ruhi got even more angry, on not getting any response. She quickly took a glance around the room, and saw the stick, with which Adi was hit, was lying on the floor. She grabbed the stick quickly and aimed the hit at the man, but was stopped by the bearded man.
The man snatched the stick back from Ruhi, and pushed her back to the couch. The man slowly removed the hat, and then the old jacket he was wearing, and finally the fake beard. Ruhi was startled to see the face behind the disguise.
"Ni-Ni Niddhi!!??" Ruhi uttered.
"Kya huwa? Shock ho gayi mujhe dekke?" Niddhi smirked.
Ruhi was boiling in anger. More than scared, she was angry on Niddhi.
"How dare you hit my brother?" Ruhi attempted to grab Niddhi's neck, but Niddhi didn't let her do so, she twisted Ruhi's arms and threw her on the couch again.
Before Ruhi cud say anything, Niddhi took out the gun from her pocket and landed it on Ruhi's mouth, which made Ruhi very scared.
"Chup! Ek dum chup! Bohot urr rahi thi nah, abh bol! Agar kuch bhi aise vaisa karne ki koshish ki, then it will be your bad!" With gun in Ruhi's mouth Niddhi warned her.
Ruhi signed her that she won't say anything.
Niddhi took out of the gun from her mouth and yelled, "Kitna batay tumney isey? Kya kya bola hai tumne Adi ko, Ruhi?"
Ruhi in a scared voice said, "Ku-kuch nahii!"
"Oh really? Bewakoof samaj te ho mujhey?" Nidhi slapped Ruhi hard.
"Abh Adi ko thikane lagana parega!" Nidhi declared. Ruhi was shocked to hear that.
"Kyun ...kyun ma'am? Pls Adi bhaiya ko chordo, unhone kuch nahi kiya ma'am, pls ma'am, I beg you! He doesn't know anything bout us, ma'am! Pls unhe maat marna ma'am!" said a sobbing Ruhi.
"Chup! Bilkul chup! Zyada bak-bak ki to abhi tumahre Adi bhaiya ko goli mardungi! Mardu goli?" pointing the gun towards Adi, Nidhi gave a sadistic smile.
"No-no ma'am!!" Ruhi begged by folding her hands.
"Aur haan, agar iske bareme, kisiko bhi kuch kahaan, then you know the consequences, I won't hesitate to kill your Adi bhaiyya!"
"I won't say anything to anyone, ma'am! Pls don't do anything to my bhaiyya!"
"Good girl!" Nidhi smirked.
Niddhi then called some goons to take Adi away to some place. In mind she was thinking to kill off Adi, in a desolate place.
The goons came and took hold of Adi, Niddhi warned them to Adi out carefully, so nobody watches him, although it was a desolate part of the area of the whole set.
Ruhi coudn't do anything but cry. She was watching everything helplessly. Nidhi told her to go back on set, otherwise people may doubt that sth is wrong, and strictly said her again, not to blurt the truth out to anyone. Ruhi was already scared and so she nodded to Nidhi's words. Niddhi went off from there as soon as she saw there was nobody around.
End of Flashback
"Ruhaan, you ok?" Raman's voice brought back Ruhi to the present.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm alright!" Ruhi said with a tensed face.
"Well.. you don't seem so! I think you shud take a break for sometime! Even I'm tired, so ek kam karte hai, yahan paas mein ek south indian restaurant hai, lets go have some food?" Raman asked.
Ruhi nodded.
(At Restaurant)
"You know bhuke pet koi kaam nahi karna chahiye! Varna koi kaam acha nahi hota"
Ruhi didn't answer.
"Ruhaan! Lagta hai tum kuch zyada he bhuki ho, ki kuch bol he nahe rahe!" Raman snapped his fingers on Ruhi's face.
"Oh no, Mr.bhalla! There is nothing like that!" Ruhi replied.
"Hmm! I know how to fix your mood, maybe!"
Raman ordered Curd rice, dosa and sambhar. Listening to it Ruhi became emotional.
"You know my daughter used to love Curd rice, a lot! Uski to favorite dish hai, curd rice na mile toh pura ghar sar pe utha leti thi!" Raman laughed it off.
Ruhi hid her tears, listening to Raman's talk bout her. She was glad her father still remembers her.
Few mins later the dishes came. Raman jumped to it immediately. While eating curd rice, he spoke, "Damn! It's too good! Kash meri beti aaj yahan hoti to...!" Raman stopped in middle, remembering Ruhi(as she's no more). He became a slight emotional.
Ruhi who was noticing how Raman didn't finish his line, asked him, "Toh.. apki beti kahan hai and what's her name btw?"
"Ruhi! Her name is Ruhi!"
Ruhi was glad to hear her name from Raman.
"Oh! Nice name! Umm... where is she?" Ruhi asked hesitantly.
"She's no mre in this world! She passed away in an accident!" Raman said with slight ears in his eyes.
Ruhi was shocked to hear that Raman thinks she's dead. Ruhi remembers what Nidhi had said, that her parents didn't look for her, after the exchangewas done. Ruhi tried to recall what happened that day, but failed. She was confirmed that Niddhi hid sth big from her, even Adi was bout to tell her sth, but at that crucial moment Nidhi hit him to prevent him from saying anything. Ruhi was confused. She thought bout whether to tell Raman everything or not, but she was scared cuz her Adi bhaiyya's life was at risk. For a second time, she thought that maybe telling everything to Raman might get her some answers, or even save her Adi bhaiyya, so Ruhi gathered all the courage to speak the truth to Raman.
"Mr.Bhalla, mujhey aapse kuch kehna hai!"
"Haan bolo, Ruhaan!"
"Vo..vo mai...mai Ru..!"
"Uhh! Excuse me, Ruhaan!" Raman's phone rang.
He took the call and was stunned to hear the piece of news from the other side.
"What??? I'm coming right now!" Raman with his mouth wide open, he cudn't believe what he just heard.
"Ruhaan, I'm sorry I have to go right now!" Raman bid bye to Ruhi and rushed out from there.
"Papa ko achanak kya huwa? Phone pe kon tha?" Ruhi wondered.
Ruhi came back on set, only to notice people saying the shoot is cancelled for the day.
"Excuse me sir, kya huwa? Shoot kyun cancel hogaya?" She asked the director.
"Vo..Ruhaan mr.abhimanyu ki koi friend hai, she's in hospital, kya naam tha unka...haan...Dr.Ishita...heard she's pretty serious...isiliye aaj shoot nahi hoga!" said the director and went away.
"I-Ishima...hospital mai hai?" She was shocked and emotional to hear it.
"Vo theek toh hongi nah?" Ruhi wondered, with a bit of tears in her eyes.
Ruhi forgot her hatred for a while. She was genuinely concerned, she had to see if her ishima was alright, so she called nupur to get details bout the hospital, where Ishita is admitted.
(At hospital)
Mani is talking with the doctor that Raman comes.
"Mani..Mani..! Vo Ishi...Ishita..kaise hai? Kahan hai vo? Vo theek to haina?"
"Raman! Raman! Calm down! Ishu theek hai baas uski car ka accident hogaya tha...but don't worry she's alright!" Mani tried to calm Raman down.
"Accident!??"
"Usey zyada chot toh nahi ayi? What did the doctors say? Kuch serious toh nahi hai na? Where is she? I want to meer her, right now!" Raman was asking non-stop ques to Mani.
"Raman..ok..calm down...luckily usey zyada chot nahi ayi..so..relax...and you can't meet her right now..the doctors are checking her up" Mani said.
Mani took an insanely worried Raman to the seat. He made him sit and assured him that Ishita wud be fine, but Raman wasn't ready to listen, he wanted to meet his Ishita so bad, he was going restless.
After a while, the doctor came from the room and said Ishita is fine but as she got injured in the accident, she needed rest, so the doctor ordered not to disturb her as of now, when she regains consciousness, they can meet her.
"Btw aap log unke kon lagte hai...?" The doc asked.
"She's my wife and I'm her husband Raman Bhalla!" Raman instantly said. Mani looked at Raman upon hearing that he still considers Ishita his wife. Nonetheless, he was glad to hear.
"Oh so u r her husband? Vo aisey rush driving karti hai pehle se?" The doc asked Raman.
"Rush driving!? Nahi kabhi nahi...Ishita kabhi bhi tezz gari nahi chali thi!" Raman said in a tensed voice.
"Well Mr. Raman, she was driving harsh, isiliye toh unka accident huwa, her car bumped into a tree...luckily she got escaped...baas sar pe thori chot ayi hai...but that's ok...We're hoping she'll be fine!" said the doc.
Raman cudn't believe that Ishita wud drive carelessly, he was sure that sth was amiss.
"But there's sth that is making her restless, even when she is in unconscious state!" The doc said.
"Kya matlab doctor?" Raman asked.
"She is taking someone's name continously...kisi Ruhi ka naam lehrahi hai baar baar...vo kehrahi hai..Ruhi zinda hai sth like that!" The doc said.
"Ruhi?" Raman was confused.
"Ruhi toh marchuki hai...phir Ishita Ruhi ka naam kyun lehrahi hai baar baar?...Ruhi zinda hai...yeh kyun kehrahi Ishita?" Raman wondered.
"Anyways doc, who brought her here? Is that person still here?" Raman asked.
"Yes, he just went to the canteen...unka naam to nahi pata..but he's wearing a black suit!" the doc said.
"Ok, thanks doc!" Raman went to the canteen to thank that person.
He took a glance and saw a person wearing a black suit.
"Thank you so much for saving my wife! Agar aap time pe usey na leke atey, toh pata nahi kya hojata...aapka bohot bohot shukriya...btw I'm Raman Bhalla!" Raman said after wiping his tears.
The black suit guy turned his head towards Raman.
"Romi?"
"Haan bhai..I brought bhabi here!" Romi said.
"Aur aapne abhi kya kaha..apki wife?" Romi with a slight smile asked Raman.
"Nahi! Vo galti sey muh se nikal gaya...she's not my wife!" Raman look down and said.
"Bhai..kissey juth bol rahe ho..mujse ya aapne aap sey?" Romi asked.
Raman didn't said further, he tried to act as if he doesn't care.
"Vaise bhai, I knw aap mujsey nafrat karte ho, aur aapko lag raha ho..mainey matlab ki liye Ishita bhabhi ki jaan bachaiy...par aisa kuch nahi hai bhai...vo aaj bhi meri bhabhi hai aur aap mere.." Romi stopped in middle, hesitating to say that he still care for his brother.
Raman looked up at Romi said," Mujhey koi farak nahi parta, vo teri bhabhi hai ya nahi...Mai ghar ja raha hun!"
"Bhai suno!" Romi stopped Raman from going.
"Bhai Ishita bhabhi ka accident nahi huwa..unko kisine maar ne ki koshish ki!" Romi said.
"Kya?" Raman was shocked.
"Marne ki koshish ki matlab?" Raman asked anxiously.
"Vo bhai actually huwa yeh tha ki..." Romi was bout tell Raman sth that a nurse came in between.
"Mr.Raman bhalla?" the nurse called.
"Yes, I'm Raman Bhalla, is there a problem?" Raman asked.
"Vo aapki patni ko hosh ara hai, aap chahe to unse mil sakte hai!" the nurse said.
Raman ran to the ward room where Ishita is admitted.
Romi also went alongside Raman.
"Ishita..Ishita..akhein kholo Ishita!" Raman holded Ishita's hand.
Ishita slightly opened her eyes.
"Ishita..pls open your eyes and talk to me!" Raman kissed Ishita's hand and started to cry.
Ishita finally opened her eyes clearly, she was in her senses and looked at Raman.
"Ishita, thank god tum theek ho, mai bohot pareshan hogaya tha...maine socha maine tumhein phir se kho di!" Raman said while holding her hand.
"Doctor, mujhey nahi pata ye aadmi kon hai!" Ishita said looking at the doctor.
"Pls leave my hand!" Ishita ordered.
Raman was taken aback by Ishita's words.
