Chapter 5B- An eventful evening
Mihika had seen Raman and her nose became red with anger. She was going to kill that man today no matter what comes her way. Charging onto her enemy she was blocked by Mihir who came just in front of her at the perfect time.
"Mihika listen..."
"Shut up Mihir! How could you do that? What the hell were you thinking at while bringing that idiot of a man here? Ohh God...did you even think? You know what, I actually wonder if you do have a brain you idiot"
"Mihika enough! Look, I know I shouldn't have but he was pleading and I couldn't. you know what he means to me right?"
"And you bloody know what Akka means to me" she shouted not bothering about anyone around
"Mihi stop shouting, everyone is watching, just calm down ok"
"Mihir..."
"Shut up!" and with the final word he dragged Mihika back to the table.
"Hello Arnav, what's up buddy"
"All good man, learning how to handle my fiery would be wife" this owned him a chuckle from Arnav and a deadly glare from Mihika
"Arnav where is Akka?"
"Well, uh, Raman took her away"
"WHAT?" came the duo's voice
"Calm down people, they are gonna be fine, just chill. Mihir, here, have this wine, it's exquisite believe me"

Raman was dragging Ishita out of the hall, not for once listening to her pleas. Her hand in his, he was walking ahead in the isolated corridor until he reached his suite. Opening the door and closing it just after them. He pushed Ishita to the door pinning her with both his hands at the sides of her shoulders. Ishita had never seen Raman behaving in such a way with her and she was slightly scared.
Raman felt like kissing her senseless but he was scared of her reaction. Giving an angry look he backed out banging his fist in the wall next to him.
"Raman!!" reaching to him, Ishita took his bleeding hand and was looking for something to stop the blood. "What is wrong with you Raman, can't you think before doing anything, damn it"
Raman pulled Ishita to him and shouted on the top of his voice "I cannot think when my wife introduces her colleague as her fianc!!!"
Ishita had her down and was silent.
He chuckled sarcastically "Kya hua? Kuch nahi hai bolne ke liye?
Looking up to him this time with hurt in her eyes that she obviously didn't make evident to him "I am not wife anymore Raman"
It broke his heart, her words broke his heart, once more. His hold on her weakened and he turned around.
"I'm sorry Ishita" he said while sitting dejected on the bed.
"For what Raman? For divorcing me. for letting me go, for showing me my importance in your life, for not fighting for us and giving up?... or for not being able to handle the fact that your wife can never give you a child? Something you knew since the beginning Raman. Since the very beginning! I had never hidden anything from you but you did! You never told me that the man I had as my husband, wasn't strong enough to deal with this situation when the time would arise." Ishita spat harshly
"Ishita please..." he begged looking up to her
"No Raman enough! I'm tired. I don't want this, I don't deserve this. I did whatever I could for your family, your children and for you Raman, but if, if it is not enough then I am sorry I can't do more." She said in a broken voice turning her back to him.
"Love me Ishita" Raman stated sincerely while making his way behind her
"What?" she exclaimed shockingly as her head turned to his in a jiffy to him and eyes popped out.
"Love me, let's be together Ishita. If there is no other way out then why not this? I know you want me as much as I want you and you are as miserable as me so let's do this." He said ever so calmly
"You want me to have an affair with you?" Ishita questioned still flabbergasted at his words.
"Whatever you call it, I just want you to be with me"
*Slap*
"How could you even ask this Raman? Chee. You disgust me. I never thought that you could even ask me something so...so cheap"
"What is wrong with it Ishita?" he asked still adamant on his point.
"What is wrong? Huh! We aren't legal Raman! You are f**king married and having an affair with a married man...Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla is called being his mistress!" she shouted on top of her voice
"Ishita...it's not..." Raman said so softly cupping her face
"No Raman" Ishita pleaded as she took away his hands from her cheeks. Gripping his shirt lightly she looked up to him tears brimming in her eyes "No... I can't...I've been tagged throughout my life Raman...people always had names for me...kabhi baanj, kabhi mahnoos, kabhi dusri biwi, kabhi sauteli maa...and I bared it all Raman...but...but mistress Raman...wo nahi seh paongi...I can't...Please" saying so she brought her forehead to his chest, weeping silently as her hold on his shirt tightened.
Seeing her so broken he felt bad for the demand he kept in front of her. He didn't want her to get so much affected by it. Her faint sobs brought him back from his thoughts and her crying figure broke his heart. He engulfed her in a very tight hug as if making all her pain become his. He slowly moved toward the bed with her still caging her in his arms. He laid them onto there with his head on the headrest and her head still on his chest. She was so emotionally drained out and was feeling so peaceful in his embrace that she let him do whatever he wanted without a single word. After a while, both dozed off in each other's company.
