Raman went inside leaving a crying ishita behind.she was weeping feeling immense pain in her hands.
Ishita- why murugan ,why.why u r being so harsh with me.hamesha se dusron ki galti ki saza mujhe milti hai.I didn't do any bad last time but only I suffered.jiski galti thi woh toh mujhe chod kar chala gaya akela tadapne ke liye.aur aaj bhi,agar meri zindagi mein koi khushi hi nahi likhi toh mujhe bhi kyun nahi maar daala aapne uske saath.mujhe shanti toh mil jaati.why u always leave me alone to suffer.meri kya galti hai.she was talking to herself and crying bitterly ,she cried for almost ten minutes and her cries was becoming louder.suddenly the door opened ,ishita raised her head only to see raman coming to her.he was all drunk and his eyes were red in anger.he was walking to her with trembling feet.she scared to death seeing h coming to her again.he has a knife in his hand.
Raman- itna kyun chilla rahi hai.I am getting disturbed in drinking ,khabardaar Jo chillaya.zuban kaat dunga.he said with tipsy voice.
Ishita- please let me go.main kisi ko kuch nahi kahungi.
Raman put the knife on her neck and said- jyada bakwaas ki toh kisi se bhi kuch kehne layak nahi reh jayegi.ishita gulped her saliva in sheer fear.
Ishita- mujhe jaane do please.she said in a low tone.
Raman- tujhe samajh mein nahi aa raha.samjhaun kya,achcha bol kya karun tere saath,teri yeh zuban kaat doon,ya tere haath kaat doon,ya phir.
Ishita- yaa phir.she asked meekly.
Raman- yaa phir tera rape kar doon.
Ishita- please mujhe chod do.she said crying.
Raman cupped her face and said- darr lag raha hai.
Ishita nodded.
Raman- lagna hi chahiye,tab tu agli baar rkb se uljhane ki himmat nahi karegi.
Ishita- I am sorry,please let me go.bahut dard ho raha hai.
Raman sat beside her on the floor and said- dard ho raha hai.
Ishita nodded ,tears were flowing from her eyes.Raman look at her big eyes and all he could remember was her big eyes in which he hate tears.
Raman take the knife and took it near her hand,she closed her eyes in fear that he is going to cut her hand but in place he cut her rope making her hand free.
Raman cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumb.she closed her eyes feeling his touch,the touch which was rude some minutes ago turned soft and soothing in a minute.
Raman joined his forehead to her and said- don't cry,mujhe inn aankhon mein aansu pasand nahi.yeh aankhen mujhe meri jaan ki yaad dilati hai,meri zindagi hai woh,meri duniya.so don't cry.agar phir inn aankhon se aansu bahane ki galti ki toh main tujhe maar dalungaa.samjhi.
Ishita nodded silently.she was rubbing her hands feeling pain.
Raman- dard ho raha hai.he asked in trembling voice.
Ishita nodded in no.
Raman- sach bol.
Ishita nodded in yes.
Raman- ruk.he said and went inside ,after few seconds he came with an ointment and start applying it on her bruises. He was blowing air on her bruises and applying it softly and lovingly.while ishita was just looking at him.he applied ointment and said- is it OK now.
Ishita nodded.
Raman- driving aati hai.
Ishita- huh.
Raman- driving,aati hai.
Ishita nodded in no.
Raman- good,I have opened ur hands but that doesn't mean that u will try to escape.yahan se 100 kms tak kuch nahi hai.so even if u try u have to come back to me only.
Ishita- u drive me back to my house.
Raman- driver hoon tera??kidnapper hoon.badi aayi wapas chod aao wali.chup chap padi reh yahin till my anger mellow down.
Ishita- aap itna gussa kyun karte hai.she said meekly.
Raman look at her and said- meri marzi,meri zindagi hai.Jo chahe karungaa who r u to ask.
Ishita- jaane do mujhe.
Raman- ek hi baat baar baar bolne se main maan thodi lunga.he said laughing and was going but come back and asked- r u hungry.
Ishita nodded.Raman went inside and brought the food.it was untouched.
Ishita- aapne bhi nahi khaya.
Raman- I don't like eating alone.tu kha le.
Ishita- aap bhi kha lijiye.
Raman- meri biwi naa ban,khud kha aur so jaa.
Ishita nodded and took the plate to have the food but couldn't tore the chappati as her hand was paining and chappati turned rough.
Seeing her struggling,he tore the chappati ,dipped it in the curry and took it to her mouth.ishita was just looking at him thinking what to do.
Raman- khao main saari raat yahan aise nahi baitha rahunga.ishita open her mouth and he feed her.she started chewing the food slowly.he took another morsel and was feeding her when she took it from him and took to his mouth.Raman look at her with questioning eyes.
Ishita- aap bhi kha lijiye. He smiled a little,perhaps his first smile she had seen.he open his mouth and took the bite.they start eating together.ishita eat a little and said- I am done.
Raman gave her water and said- ab bina chillaye so jaana.OK.
Ishita nodded.Raman got up and went to his room.but come after sometime as he heard her calling ,suniye.
Raman saw her front was almost wet while she was shivering in cold.he look upward and said- is it leaking somewhere.but couldn't figure it out.
Raman- kya chahiye.
Ishita- bahut thand hai,ek blanket mil jaata toh.
Raman- I have only one blanket.
Ishita- even a bedsheet will do.
Raman- kaha naa kuch nahi hai.saying so he was going when he saw she was shivering badly.he went to her and picked her in his arms.
Ishita- kya kar rahen hai.
Raman- kha nahi jaaunga .we will adjust in one blanket .OK.tumhare kapde kaise bhig gaye.
Ishita don't know what to answer,she said- I don't know .
Raman- do u have any cloth.
Ishita- aap mujhe kidnap karke laaye ho.she said innocently.
Raman- wait.saying so he took her inside and gave her his one of shirt.
Raman- isse pehen lo.
Ishita- sirf isse,baaki kapde.she said looking down.
Raman- main ladki nahi hoon Jo sab hoga mere paas,isse mein adjust kar lo.bathroom that way.saying so he lay down on the bed.
Ishita went to the washroom and after sometime she came wearing just his shirt,she was feeling awkward without wearing anything beneath the shirt,she was hiding her front but was relieved seeing him sleeping in the farthest corner of the bed.ishita lay down on the bed,she was pulling his shirt downwards to hide her legs but it wasn't hiding anything.ishita turn to look at him as she wasnt comfortable in sharing the bed with him that too in such uncomfortable clothes.she was relieved to see him sleeping facing another side.ishita too slept facing other side.in midnight,ishita felt cold and turn to him in sleep.Raman was sleeping ,ishita snuggled closer to him.he wounded his arms around her and hide herself in him.soon both were sleeping cuddled in each other,sleeping peacefully after ages finding solace in each other.her head was on his chest while his hand on her forehead.
That's all for now.enjoy and do comment and hit like.will wait for it.
