Hello friends I m back with another update in new thread .Here's the next update .
Part 8
Days passed ishra became best friends, actually not only friends but almost everything only confession was left .After. coming from their work place ,they use to meet at their terrace daily ,there both talk for hours ,about their work ,about their day ,about ruhi and anything and everything .Earlier their mother didn't like this and they use to stop them moreover they started dragging ishra between their fight ,one day in morning when both mothers were having their fight ,both started badmouthing ishra .
T- madrasan Maine tujhse kitni baar bola hai ,apni beti ko mere bete se door rakh .Saari society ki ladies ab mujhe tokne lagi hain ,poochti gain ki Raman aur Ishita me beech mein kuch hai kya .
M- sane applies to you and your son ,why don't you keep your son away from my daughter ,why he and his daughter are following her always .
Ishra never wanted to interrupt their mother as they know they will not listen to them but now a days they daily use to fight on same ishra matter .Raman and ishita both were in their house and they were already fed up with all this ,they thought to end all this .Raman came out from his house ,ishira came out from her house both went to their mother and spoke " stop it ".
Toshiji and madhu both stopped and looked towards ishra ,Ishita signalled Raman to speak ,Raman continued " ma ,aunty ,you people don't fight unnecessarily ,because we are not going to listen you people , I feel good with Ishita ,she is comfortable with me what's your problem ,why you people always fight bringing us in between ".
T- Raman are you mad ,people are talking about you two and I don't like.
this
R- ma when I was alone ,I was rude ,I didn't talk to you people that time everything was ok .
T- no puttar why are you saying this ,I want you to be normal .
R- then why you daily fight with aunty in same matter .I was all alon and sad ,ishita was alone and sad ,we got companion in each other ,then what's the problem with everyone .Listen ma and aunt,aap log aaj lodo ,kal lado ya roz lado there is nothing going to change ,me and ishita will continue spending time with each other and our rooh ,haina ishita .
I- yes ,amma and aunty hum to kisi se kuch boltein bhi nahi hain then why everybody is interested in us .
R- so ma and aunty you people are wasting time on us what ever you do nothing will change .
Saying so both went back to their house warning their mother ,after that day both stopped telling anything to them ,slowly they also started liking ishra friendship as now ishita and Raman had started living normal life's like other people but still the place of partner is vacant .
It was just a normal day ,but something is not normal ,ishra had meet in the morning after that they didn't as their day was busy .They didn't even met in the evening like normal days as Raman had not yet returned from his office ,ishita thought he must be busy thats why he hadn't come yet .
It was 11.00 but Raman had not come yet ,ishita was waiting for him in the balcony .She still use to wait for him whenever he is late .Most of the people in her house and bhallas had slept But she was waiting for him,as now a days whenever he is late ishita waits for him for dinner . she was sittings in her balcony waiting for him when she saw his car entering the society premises ,she smiled fully ,but the next moment her smile faded when she saw Raman coming out from the car fully drunk ,he was so much drunk that he was not even able to walk strait .
Looking to him ishita ran downstairs to support Raman ,when she reached there she saw his driver was trying to support him but Raman was pushing him again and again ,she walked to Raman and signalled the driver to leave him .The driver left him and went away ,ishita put his right hand around her shoulder and encircled her left arm around his waist and spoke walking along with him with slow steps " Raman what is this ,why you had drunk somuch ,you know I don't like this ,then also ."
Raman looked ishita and spoke with teary eyes hugging her tight " ishita please help me my life is going away from me .I love her so much she is going away from me ,I can't live without her ."
Listening to this ishita got a shock of her life ,she rooted to her place as her mind has stopped working knowing that he loves someone else ,her trance was broken when she started feeling suffocation as he was hugging her so tight and his grip was getting tighter by every passing moment .She composed herself and spoke pulling herself from his hold " Raman listen to me ,at first we will go home then we will talk ,be a good boy ,ssshhh stop crying and come with me ".
Seems her voice worked as a support to him ,he straighted himself and walked with her ,soon they reached his house .He tried to open the main door with his keys but was not able to because of excessive drinking ,ishita took the keys from him and opened the door,she took him to his room and spoke pushing him in the bathroom
" Raman at first you go and freshen up ,I m warming your food ."
Raman went inside while ishita went to kitchen for warming his food whileshe was recalling his words again and again .she warmed the food and waited for him ,soon he arrived ,now he is in his senses. Though not fully but he was OK now .He sat in the chair and started eating silently as he know ishita will scold him because he already had promised her that he will not drink but today he has come fully drunk .On the other hand ishita was also silent recalling his words that he loves some one so much that she is his life .
Raman was eating slowly ,fearing of her reaction while ishita was lost in his words .Looking to her Raman thought that she is also upset like him ,he asked shooking her " ishita what happened why are you looking so tensed does something happened with you too ".
I( nodding negatively )- noi m alright ,you tell why you came like this ...
Before ishita can say more ,he took her hand in him and spoke was the teary eyes " ishita our rooh ".
Listening to ruhis name ishita got worried ,at the same time it striked her that may be he was talking about ruhi, she came closer to him and asked concerned " what happened to rooh ,is she alright ."
R- yeah she is alright but...
I( worried )- but what Raman ,jaldi boliye na .
R- shagun has filed custody case of ruhi ,now she wants ruhi with her .
Ishita became angry more the worried , and spoke " now why she wants ruhi ,she herself has gone leaving you both, I had seen void of mother in her eyes and in her life ,earlier she was a sad child ,her eyes were always gilled with unshed tears at that time where shagun was . Ruhi has just started living happily and here she had come to claim that baby.how ,how can she ,she herself don't want her earlier ,then what happened now ,why she want ruhi now moreover how can she file a case, I mean on what ground .
R- Actually me too don't know ,tomorrow I m going to my lawyer ,will you come along with me .
I- of course ,you are asking this to me ?
She said glaring him .
Raman smiled a little ,between his tears and spoke " I knew it but was just confirming ".
Ishita held Raman's hand and spoke
" I m always there with you whenever you need me beside you ".
Raman kept his other hand of her and spoke " thankyou ishita ".
Though ishita got confirmed that he was talking about ruhi but still she wants to confirm .Though she was happy that now she has bonded well with ruman ,she has became a part of their life but in reality she don't have any right over them ,neither on Raman nor on ruhi ,so she was always scared that they will some day go away from her .This mere thought shake her till core ,she closed her eyes and a tear escaped from her eyes thinking the worst .
Before Raman can ask her ,they saw Mr bhalla coming ,though ishra had already warned their mother's not to come between their friendship but still they don't visit their homes frequently and ishita was in bhalla house in night . Before Mr bhalla can speak or react ishita immediately wiped her tears and tried to explain ,pulling her hand from Raman's " actually uncle ,Raman was ..."
Before she can explain bhallaji stop her in mid and spoke " its ok ishita puttar I don't need ant explanation ,( looking to Raman ) Raman why are you so late today .
Raman told everything to Mr bhalla ,he also got angry and spoke samething which ishita told .After that he consoled Raman that everything will be ok and went to sleep .
Ishita also got up from her place and spoke " Raman don't worry everything will be ok ,we will fight for ruhi till last , its late ,you go and sleep ,I should also leave ,tell me when we will go to lawyers place ".
R( holding her hand)- ishita I m feeling very alone ,please be with me .
I- nodded and sat .
Raman got up washed his hands and took her to his room ,their both sat in couch and started talking about ruhi .Raman started sharing ruhis childhood memories,while ishita was listening to it with great interest ,in between they smile sometimes and cried too ,both were sitting side by side holding each other .They talked till late night ,ishita wanted to leave but Raman was not letting her go ,at last both dozzed off late night in the couch itself ,resting their heads on each other.
