LAST PART

Ishita was recalling her past standing in the balcony when the thunder stroke. It broke her trance and she realized all the memories of her bitter past were squirming down in her mind while the tears were already flowing from her eyes and were being mixed with the raindrops. She looked around and saw she was alone but her eyes were searching someone. She remembered Raman had gone outside. She walked into the room and picked up the mobile to call him. She dialed his number hesitantly and waited for him to pick it up.

He picked her call and spoke- Hello.

Ishita (hesitantly)- Raman.

Raman- Haan bolo Ishu..sorry Ishita.

Ishita- Where are you in this rainfall? Come soon na. I am all alone here, and scared too.

She said in a baby voice which crept a smile over Raman's face.

Raman- Okay I am coming.

Saying so, he hung up the call and thought smilingly, "She hasn't changed a bit. She is still my same Ishu who used to be scared of the thunder and lightning. But I don't know whether she still loves me or not? No no..she must be not loving me. It's been eight years and moreover, she is going to get married with Subbu in two days. It's impossible that she has feelings for me. But what about me..my love for her didn't change. I still love my Ishu. Yeah, I have realized my mistake to deny her proposal but I was helpless at that time. I had to take that decision for the sake of my friendship. And now, I am living with so much guilt that I can't even compensate for that. I love you Ishi..forgive me for hurting you."

He shrugged of his thought wiping his tears and straightened his way to Ishita.

Next morning, IshRa departured from there thanking the houseowner and after spending a night filled with casual chit chat with each other. Raman reached his home while Ishita to hers. Ishita pretended to be normal like ever infront of her family members but it was only she who knew that now she wouldn't be able face her marriage right now as her mind was surrendered with Raman's thoughts. She tried to engross herself in the preparations of her marriage as it's next day. But there were two pairs of eyes who were constantly noticing the change brought in Ishita since she returned in the morning.

In the evening time, the house was in hustle-bustle as they needed to complete their chores of wedding till night. Preparations were arranged, venue was fixed and the invitation cards were send to every relatives of their in Delhi and Chennai. But Ishita, the would be bride wasn't happy as she ought to be. Her face was clearly stating that physically she is participating in her wedding preparation but mentally she was lost in the thoughts of her past love, Raman. There was a fake smile on her face but no glow in her eyes which should be the sign that yeah she was going to be a beautiful bride next day.

She was pretending to be busy in selecting the saree for her Amma with her cousins and other girl in her room, when Amma noticed the worry of lines over her forehead and realized that she was upset thinking about. She silently went to her and excused her for a minute from all others who were surrounding her and took her to her room.

Amma- Ishu, sit here.

She commanded her to sit on the bed and Ishita obeyed like a kid confusingly and spoke- What happened Amma? Is everything alright?

Amma replied caressing her face- Ishu, I should ask this to you.

Ishita- But what?

Amma- That are you happy with your marriage?

Ishita said trying to hide her pain- Why are you asking this stupid question, Amma?

Amma (in a serious tone)- It's not stupid but important. I have been noticing you kanna since morning that you are not happy with anything. You are trying to be happy infront of others but deep inside, you are very upset with something. What is that kanna? You can share with me, I am your Amma.

Ishita faked a smile and cupped her face saying- Nothing is like that, Amma. I am very happy and you know I am little bit nervous thinking that I will have to go far away from you people after marriage. You know Canada is so far that I am very scared, how will I live without my lovely family there?

She hugged Amma hiding her pain and tears which were trying to roll down from her eyes.

Amma caressing her hair, said- Ishu..you aren't going far away from us. You are always with us. Distance doesn't matter kanna if two hearts are connected. You are getting me na Ishu?

Ishita nodded in yes and hid her face in her embrace and started crying, enough of her tolerance level.

Amma too couldn't control herself anymore and both mother-daughter began shedding tears in the fear of separation. Listening them, Appa and Vandita too came and saw a heart touching scenario taking place. Sooner, they too joined them and had heart-to-heart talk for an hour.

At night, after having dine, all were retired to their room for catching good sleep as next day was going to be a touch and hectic one. But sleep was far away from the eyes of Ishita. She was standing near the window of her room and thinking constantly about her and Raman when Vandita came from behind and spoke- Ishu, what are you hiding from me?

Ishita realized her presence and immediately wiped off her tears and replied smilingly- What will I hide from you Akka?

Vandita looking at her- Your pain.

Ishita turned away her face and remained silent. Vandita lovingly made her face turn to her and spoke emotionally- Atleast, for today only speak out your pain to me my baby sis. Kal se to tu parayi ho jaayegi phir kiske baaho me rokar apne dard baategi?

Hearing it, Ishita raised her eyes which were full of tears and hugged her tightly pouring all the pain she was enduring since eight years. Vandita too supported her giving her sis embrace and asked caressing her back, "Speak Ishu. Kya hai jo meri babu ke aankho me aansu laa rahe hain? Meri babu itni kamzor to kabhi nahi thi..phir aisa kya ho gaya ek raat me jo tu tutti nazar aa rahi hai mujhe?

Ishita replied between her eyes, "I love him, Akka."

Mihika raised her eyebrows and asked with concern if she knew whose name she was going to mouth after such a long duration.

Ishita replied closing her eyes, "Raman."

Vandita parted away from their hug and asked wiping the tears of Ishita, "Ishu, tu ab bhi Raman se pyaar karti hai?"

Ishita replied rolling continous tears, "Akka, main Raman se pehle bhi pyaar karti thi, aaj bhi karti hoon and hamesha karti rahungi. Mere dil me unka jagah koi aur nahi le sakta..bhale hi main kisi aur ke naam ka mangalsutra pehnu..par main hamesha Raman ki hi rahungi."

Vandita shockingly replied- Tu pagal ho gayi hai kya mera bachcha? Kaisi baatein kar rahi hai tu? Tujhe pata hai na kal teri shaadi hai Subbu se.

Ishita rested her head in her embrace and spoke- I know Akka but it's not my fault that I haven't forgotten him yet. Main to unhe bhool hi chuki thi par ek mulakat ne saare zakhm ko taaza kar diya.

Saying so, she narrated everything to Vandita about last night. Listening everything, Vandita's eyes were brimmed with tears feeling that two lovers had met each other again after eight years, not by conincedence, but because their destiny had decided to unite them.

Vandita- Ishu, you should tell about this to Amma- Appa. You know you're playing with three lives. First with your life and Raman's then other is Subbu's. If you don't love Subbu, then why don't you admit it to your parents? You won't lead a happy life babu after marrying someone whom you don't even love.

Ishita wiping her tears, "No Akka. I have decided. I won't destroy anything. I will go with the flow. I will marry Subbu, after marriage I will surely like him and will definitely try to forget Raman. But now, I can't back out from the wedding. Everything is fixed and I can't create a scene infront of the society for my parents."

Vandita (scolding her)- Are you out of your mind, Ishu? Do you know what are you saying? How will you love someone who can't take a place in your heart?

Ishita looking down, replied- I know Akka that it's tough but not impossible.

Vandita- You've gone mad, Ishu.

Ishita- Let me be that only, Akka. You just promise me that whatever I have told you will be between us only. Appa- Appa shouldn't know about it. Promise me Akka.

Vandita (crying)- No babu..

Ishita- Pls Akka, for me.

Vandita nodded in yes crying inconsolably.

They hugged each other fixing a secret between them and shared cosy moment for the last time.

Whereas on the other side, Raman was becoming restless thinking about Ishita, his first and last love. He couldn't think about Ishita being married to someone else. Each moment passing by was becoming more and more difficult for him to survive. He wanted to rush to her and speak out his heart that he too loves her and really can't live a single second without her presence. But it was too late for him. She was already engaged and the next day was her wedding. A single tear escaped from his eyes realizing she was going to become someone's life. But he couldn't take it anymore. He was pacing to and fro in his garden when Romi came there and saw him so much tensed.

Romi(putting his arm on his shoulder)- Bhai, what happened, why did you call me at this hour? Is everything alright?

Raman- Nope, Romi. Nothing is in my hand. Everything is getting out of my control, even my heart and mind. I am losing myself.

Romi(tensed)- What are you saying, Bhai. Don't talk in riddles, share your problem.

Raman- Romi yaar, I still love Ishita.

Romi drew his eyes big and spoke in sheer shock "What?".

Raman- Haan Romi, I still love Ishita. I know you are hurt listening it but the fact is that I love her so much and it's getting impossible for to live without her now.

He turned his face on the other side and continued, "I have been living these eight years without her and maintaining our promise but I think I should let you know that I love her and she loves me. Yeah, I agree that she broke your heart but Romi the truth is that she never loved you. She had done all that damn shit drama..becoming your girlfriend..going on date.. inorder to make me realize that I love her. But everything went out of the flow and you got hurt by it. But trust me Romi, she is very pure by heart and she has no hard feelings for anyone. She is very sweet that anyone could fall for her and likewise, I had fallen for her eight years ago but before I could propose and confess my feelings, you said that you like her. For the sake of our friendship, I didn't mouth my feelings but I am realizing my mistake now that I am an idiot who broke her heart and breaking our promise now. Romi, yaar mere dost, main use bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mere zindagi ke yeh aath saal, mere liye ek saza se kam nahi the. Kal jab use mulakat hui to pata chala ki main usse abhi bhi bahut pyaar karta hoon aur nahi dekh sakunga usko kisi aur ka hote hue."

He stopped breathing heavily and his sobs had lessen. He turned and raised his gaze to catch Romi's reaction only to see that his eyes were too moist and he was looking at him with guilty and a smile.

Romi- Tu pagal hai Raman.

Raman- Haan main hoon..magar uske pyaar me.

Romi- Tune hamare dosti ke khaatir, apne pyaar ko tyaag dene ka socha. Tu mujhe bol to deta ki Romi..main bhi Ishita se pyaar karta hoon..tere liye kya nahi kiya hai maine..tere liye ek ladki nahi bhool sakta tha kya main? Mere liye tujhse zyaada zaruri koi aur nahi hai, Bhai.

He said and opened his arms asking him for a tight friend hug. Raman smiled between her tears and they hugged each other tightly.

Romi- Raman..mere bhai, mujhe meri galti ka ehsaas ho gaya hai. Jaa apne pyaar ke paas aur usko keh de apni dil ki baat. Aur haan, meri bhabhi bana kar lana..tujhe hamaari dosti ki kasam.

He said rolling tears filled with guilt and seeking apology.

NEXT DAY

Ishita was dressed up in red lehenga with golden color shades. She was looking extremely beautiful and gorgeous in minimal makeup, gold jewelleries adding beauty, dark kohl in eyes with light shades, mehroon lipstick on her rosy lips, full red bangles in her hand, heavy earrings with a red bindi on her forehead. Her hair was braided in a bun with flower strings around the bun and a red dupatta covering her face as a veil. She was looking breathtaking in the bridal attire but something was missing in her beauty- her smile.

But however, she was sitting infront of the mirror while many girls were surrounding her and teasing session was going on with fake blush of Ishita. At the time, Mrs.Iyer called her as it was the time for taking pheras. Girls took her down while Vandita was supporting her wounding her arms around her and unshed tears in her eyes.

Vandita mumbled to Ishita- Ishu, you have time now. If you want..you can stop the marriage..

Ishita- No Akka. Please.

Soon, they were in the mandap. Vandita made Ishita sit in the mandap beside Subbu and the priest started chanting the mantras. Then the priest after performing rituals, asked Subbu to make her wear the mangalsutra. Subbu was going to tie it around her neck when at the same time, Raman appeared infront of the entrance and spoke loudly making a halt in the marriage "Ishita".

Everyone looked at him with questioning eyes while Ishita was sheer stunned to see him right now. Her eyes brimmed with those tears which she had been hiding since long while the members of her family including Subbu curved a smile on their faces making Ishita totally confused. Raman walked in to the mandap while Subbu spoke looking at Ishita, "Lo Ishu, tumhara RajKumar aa gaya."

Ishita looked at him all confused and then at her parents who were smiling fully and her eyes went on Vandita who assured her blinking her eyes. Ishita was not getting anything and tears were making way through her eyes. She looked at him Raman who was dressed up in cream coloured sherwani and was looking ravishing with gelled hair and clean shaven face.

Raman- Ishu, I know I am late but I have realized that I love you. I know this too that you are very angry from me. Aur hona bhi chahiye, tumhe itne saare taklif jo diye hain maine. Ishita, mujhe apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya hai. Mujhe pata hai maine tumhare dil ke saath khela hai. Mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ki tum soch rahi hogi ki main yaha kyun aaya hoon jabki maine tumhare pyaar ko aath saal pehle thukraya tha. Par yeh sach nahi Ishita, main aaj bhi tumse utna hi pyaar karta hoon jitna ki uss waqt karta tha jab tumne mujhe I Love You bola tha. Par halat kuch aise the ki mujhe tumhe bhoolna behtar samjha. Par aaj ehsaas hua hai ki main tumhare bina adhura hoon. Ishita, tumhara Raman tumhare bina nahi jee sakta. I Love You Ishita.

He opened his arms for her while bending down on his knees, literally crying like a baby. Ishita looked at her parents for motivation that she still had right on her Raman, her parents blinked their teary eyes with a huge grin as if they were nodding in yes and asking her to forgive Raman. Then, she gazed at Subbu with red eyes due to cry who too smiled at her back and spoke moving out from the place of groom, "Tumhare dil me jagah, Raman ke siwa koi aur nahi le sakta Ishu. Tum uski ho..uski jaan ho. Main kitni bhi koshish karleta par tumhe shaadi ke baad khush nahi rakh pata. Kyunki mujhe pata hai tumhari khushi mere saath nahi balki Raman ke saath hai. Isliye jab Vandu Akka ne mujhe tum dono ke baare me bataya to maine decide kar liya kit um dono ki shaadi issi mandap me karwaaunga aur do pyaar karne wale ko ek karunga taki mujhe yeh afsos na rahe ki meri wajah se do dil hamesha ke liye juda ho gaye." Saying so, he brought Raman near Ishita and made him stand beside him and the Iyer family said smilingly "Perfect Couple" which made IshRa to glance at each other with sheer love and blush and this couple made a perfect picture together.

Raman to Ishita (in an audible voice)- I love you Ishita.

Ishita smiling fully- I love you too Raman.

Through this, two lost lovers met again by destiny and were united with the bless of their respective family and their true love.
