Ishita was sitting on the small stool while toshiji was oiling her hair massaging it softly.
Toshiji- how r u feeling now,ishita puttar.
Ishita-now it's much better maa.u leave it now.let me go and do my work.
Toshiji-don't u dare to touch any work.jab se raman gaya hai ro ro kar bura haal bana liya hai,ek mahine mein sukh kar kaanta ho gayi hai.puttar apna khayal rakha kar.apne liye nahi toh iss nanhi si jaan ke liye.she said caressing her baby bump.
Ishita-kya karun maa,jab bhi yaad aaya hai ki raman yahan nahi hai,aansu rukte hi nahi.i just want him to come soon asap.i want him to see our baby growing inside me.woh kab aayenge maa.
Toshiji caressed her forehead lovingly and said-bahut jald aayega puttar.u just take care of urself and ur baby.
Ishita-ji maa.she said smiling while toshiji pecked her forehead lovingly.they were talking when romi screamed,maa ,bhabhi jaldi aao.dekho kya dikha rahen hai.
Toshiji went down while ishita too went behind her slowly holding her six months baby bump.
Ishita reached the room and was stunned to hear the news.some terrorists have attacked on the army camp and out of 30 ,10 lost their life while 3 were missing.
Toshiji-yeh toh Raman ka army camp hai.romi tu phone lagaa puttar,pata kar mera puttar kaisa hai.she said panicking while ishita couldn't hold herself.she was about to fall when simmi and toshiji held her.she got unconscious,romi picked her and took her to her room.soon doctor was called,she checked her and give her an injection.
Doc-iska bp low hai.aap khayal rakhiye.
Toshiji nodded and soon the doctor went.she was sitting beside ishita caressing her hair and praying for Raman,when ishita opened her eyes and sat instantly.
Ishita-maa,kuch pata chala,raman thik hai naa.please maa kuch toh boliye.mere raman thik hai naa.
Toshiji-haan puttar,woh thik hoga,tera pyaar Jo uske saath hai.romi gaya hai,woh abhi aata hoga raman ke thik hone ki khabar le kar.she was saying when romi kept his hand on toshiji's shoulder.
Ishita look at him and said-aap aa gaye bhaiya,raman thik hai naa.
Romi didn't answered anything,was just looking at her with moist eyes.
Ishita-boliye bhaiya,raman.
Romi- bhaiya nahi rahe bhabhi,bomb ,he couldn't complete as Ishita slapped him and said-aise kaise keh sakte ho aap ,apne bhaiya ke baare mein .mere Raman ke baare mein.i know he is ok.
Romi-sorry bhabhi but it's true.he is no more.explosion was just behind him,unke sharir ke chithde ud gaye,sirf unka batch mila jisse unki pehchaan hui.he said crying .
Ishita tried to speak up but she fainted next moment.toshiji and romi held her.they make her lay down on the bed.they called doctor again and told them about Raman's death.
Doc-I think it will be good for her if she sleeps.i think u people should do cremation asap.
Toshiji nodded crying bitterly.all cried their heart out while ishita was asleep.soon the remaining parts of his body reached their place.all cried seeing his body as it was hard to recognise him.
Everyone cried bitterly for him and soon finished all the rituals just for ishita.ishita was unconscious for three four days,everytime she gain conscious,after few minutes she again faint thinking about Raman.
Slowly days start passing,ishita has became almost a stone,neither talks to anyone nor cries.just sitting like a rock taking his pic in her hand.all where worried seeing her condition.they have tried every possible ways to make her cry but she never cried.
One day,
Mr bhalla -ab kya hoga toshi ji,ishita ki haalat bad se badtar hoti jaa rahi hai.samajh nahi aata woh kabhi raman ki maut se ubar bhi payegi ki nahi.i am so worried about her baby.
Toshiji cried and said-don't know what to do,agar aise hi chalta raha toh hum ishita aur raman ki aakhiri nishaani bhi kho denge.
Mr bhalla- hume hi kuch karna hoga.
Toshiji-main koshish kar ke haar gayi ,aap hi kuch kijiye.
Mr bhalla- ok let me see,what I can do.saying so he went to Raman's room and saw her sitting on the bed holding his pic.he cried seeing her but wiped his tears and went inside.he took out their wedding album and said-puttar,dekh Maine kya nikala hai.teri shaadi ki album tu dekhegi.
Ishita just look at him and start looking at the album.she took it in her hand and start looking at the pics.it was their wedding pics.she saw pics of him standing in wedding attire,she caressed his pic and a tear fell off her eyes.she started flipping the pages and saw their whole wedding rituals.their varmala,their pheras and lastly their pic where he was feeling her partition.she couldn't control herself more,she cried bitterly hugging the album.
Mr bhalla took her in side hug while she cried her heart out.
Ishita-kyun chod kar chale gaye,mujhe kyun akela kar diya.unhone vada kiya tha,kaise tod diya.she was saying in between her hiccups while Mr bhalla was just caressing her hair softly.
Time again start passing now ishita was eight and half months pregnant,everyone was excited about the kid while she was just living like a lifeless body.she talk very less,eats very less and never laughs.like all the colours of her life was gone with raman.
One day she was arranging her cupboard when her eyes fell on their honeymoon ticket.yes she has kept it safely even after three years of marriage.they had an arrange marriage where their love bloomed slowly.she smiled a little remembering their beautiful moments of togetherness.they went to nainital for honeymoon.
She took out their honeymoon album and start seeing it.she caressed their pic where she was kissing his cheek while he was busy in clicking selfies.

She remembered how madly she was laughing when he was taunting her.
Raman-pagal madrasan,koi patthar chunta hai.
Ishita-raman ,lene do naa,dekho kitne sundar hai ek dum heere ki tarah.
Raman-toh jewellery banwa ke pehan lena,pagal madrasan.he said making a dirty face while she laughed out loud.
Mera hasna pagal jaisa
She remembered how he cared for her when she fell ill in nainital.
Raman hide her in his jacket and said-arey mera bachcha kyun ro raha hai.
Ishita wiped her red nose and said-sardi ho gayi hai.
Raman-come let me give u my warmth.he said hiding her more into him while tears were falling off her eyes due to continuous headache.
Mera rona badal jaisa
Ishita kissed his pic and said-aap the toh sab achcha tha,hum kitne khush the raman ek saath.she said caressing his pic.

Doctor was telling her to push while his words were ringing in her ears.
Raman-ishita,kya kar rahi ho.main kab se tumhara intezaar kar raha hoon .saare kaam khatam kar ke aao jaldi.
Ishita pushed again but her eyes start closing,while she could hear his words jaldi aao main hamesha tumhara intezaar nahi karne wala.ek baar chala gaya toh wapas nahi aane wala.
Ishita forwarded her hand and said closing her eyes-I am coming raman.saying so she stop struggling while doctors start rushing to operate her.
Ishita-(st)I am coming to u,mujhe chod kar mat jaiyega.she was thinking when someone hold her hand and said-ishita,open ur eyes .push babu,for me,for us,for our baby.

Ishita hugged him tight crying hard.
Raman-shh ,chup jaan.see I am all ok.mujhe kuch nahi hua hai.
Ishita broke the hug and start beating him slowly.

Ishita-aap thik hai toh woh news,
Raman-actually there were two Raman bhallas in our camp.but he was junior to me.that day by mistake he took my batch and he got died.and I was thrown away in that bomb explosion.and by seeing my batch,they thought I am dead and he was missing.

Raman-hamesha ki toh guarantee nahi le sakta.but for now,i am here with u to celebrate the birth of our baby.uski taraf dekhi toh jaan,kaise dekh rahi hai hume.
