Chapter 1 - The meeting
It's been a year now! A year since her world had collapsed, a year since she lost what she thought would always be hers. She lost her, and along with her, him also! First the one who made her a mother and then the one whose wife she became.
Shagun had reopen her Ruhi's custody case, and she won it this time. With Ruhi no longer being there the 'sirf Ruhi ke liye'' contract marriage came to an end. It would have maybe not, only if Shagun didn't come in between with Adi. But she did, and rightly so, Ashok had married Mihika and she was left alone, so who better than Raman now. Shagun came and Ishita lost, again...
Ishita was unusually getting ready today. She hasn't done so for a while now. It had been exactly one year since she last met her kids...and her husband. But today she would. They would be in front of her eyes, for real. She would be able to touch them, hug them, kiss them...and maybe him also.
Wearing a simple silk blue saree, hair open and a slight make up, just the way he loves it, she sat in front of the mirror for her last touch up. She cannot help but go back to the memory lane and compare. Compare the pain Subbu had given her and the one Raman inflicted her. Both these men were poles apart and so the pain they gave. While one broke her heart the other broke her soul. She wiped the single tear that had made its way down her face. Opening her eyes, she saw herself and smiled. She's going to meet them. Today.
Outside the court
Gelled hair, black suit, sunglasses on and a grumpy face. Raman got out of his car followed by Shagun and both his kids. He looked up and read "Karkardoma Court". He sighed. Life bought him here once again but this time he couldn't get angry on anyone. It was his fault, he knows it. Raman Kumar Bhalla is helpless! He doesn't love Shagun, but Adi is his weakness.
Some time later...
Ishita reached the courtroom and scanned it all when her lips curved at the sight. She had seen him! Raman was sitting at the other end of the courtroom his back facing her, and she briefly saw Neel standing next to him with some papers in his hand. That smile never leaving her face she took a step, and as if sensing her presence Raman turned. Their eyes met. Raman kept staring at her while she looked away shying. Her husband was looking at her after a whole year! With that shy smile on Ishita walked to him and sat in the empty chair next to his. They were now lost into each other. He could smell her fragrance today...after a year...he could feel his wife, when the voice of the judge broke their trance. "Mr Raman Bhalla and Miss Ishita Iyer these are the last procedures before you both officially get divorce."
Miss Ishita Iyer' he flinched at the sound of it and she slowly glanced at him. An unspoken request in her welled up eyes that went unnoticed to his closed ones. She tightened the hold on her purse to gain back her composure. But Ishita knew very well that today was the end.
"I'd like to talk to Ra...Mr Bhalla in private before" Ishita said.
