Ishita was hiding herself in Raman's arms feeling peace after many years while Raman was also feeling solace .he just hugged her more tightly and softly pecked her forehead.
Ishita look at Raman and said-ab mujhe chod kar nahi jayenge naa. Please mat jaiyega .i will do everything as per ur will. If u want I will quit my job also. Aap ko kahenge sab manungi.but please never leave me alone. Main mar jaungi. Aur shayad mar hi gayi hoti agar adi aur ichu nahi hote.
Raman-i am so sorry jaan, because of my impulsive nature ,u and everyone has to suffer. U don't have to leave anything. This time I will leave everything for u and my family. Apne bachchon aur tumhare liye, sab kuch karunga,but will never leave u people alone again .jab tak zinda rahunga tab tak, mar gaya toh, he was saying when ishita closed his mouth and said-dont talk rubbish. Abhi toh hume ek saath jeena hai. Apne bachchon ko bahut pyaar karna hai.
Raman -haan, abhi toh main mila bhi nahi, apne ichu se. Ichu, yeh kaisa naam hai. He said smiling.
Ishita too smiled hearing this and said-actually his name is ishaan.so adi call him ishu, and he calls himself ichu. So we also started calling him ichu. Bahut pyara hai, ekdum aapki tarah. Long curly hair and cute dimples. She said smiling making him smile too.
Raman -take me to him. I can't wait to meet him.
Ishita nodded making a tense face. Raman could feel her restlessness.
Raman -kya hua, u don't want to take me to him.
Ishita-no, I will take u. But promise me that u will never leave me again. Kabhi nahi, agar mujhse kuch galti hui hogi tab bhi.
Raman -whats wrong ishita, sab thik hai naa.
Ishita nodded making a scared face and said-please promise me, u will not go leaving me. Meri galti ki maaf kar denge. She said with pleading eyes.
Raman don't understand what she is telling. But one thing was sure that he will never leave her again. So he said-i will never leave u jaan.
Ishita-aap ruhi ki kasam khaiye.
Raman -whats this ishita. Don't u trust me.
Ishita-please Raman.
Raman -ok baba. Ruhi promise I will never leave u. Ab chalein.
Ishita nodded and went to Ruhi. Raman too went to sleeping ruhi and picked her in his arms.
Ishra came out of the room and settled in a cab.
Ishita told the address and the cab driver start driving. Ishita was biting her nails in tension. Seeing her, raman asked-problem kya hai.
Ishita looked at him and said-kuch nahi, kuch bhi toh nahi.
Raman -dont lie, I can see u r tense. That's why u r biting nails. Kya hua bolo .
Ishita didn't said anything, just came closer to Raman and said wounding his arms around herself -mujhe bas yahan rehne dijiye.
Raman wrapped her in his arms and said-this place is only urs. Saying so he pecked her temple while ishita snuggle more into him feeling restlessness.
Raman was feeling weird at her behaviour but shrugged it thinking she must be insecure.
Soon they reached home, raman paid the money and ishraruh came out of the cab. Ishita was going to open the door when she turned again and hugged ruman tight.
Raman got startled with her behavior.
Raman -kya hua ishita, ander chalo.
Ishita -wait a minute, let u see both of u. Saying so she kissed ruman's forehead.
She hugged Raman again and said-please mujhe chod kar mat jaiyega.
Raman was now getting worried because of her constant rant.
Raman -adi aur ichu thik hai naa. Everything is fine naa.
Ishita didn't answer ,she took a deep breathe and finally opened the door. They entered the room and ishita make ruhi sleep in adi's room. And took raman to the ishaan's room.
Raman entered the room and saw a little boy was in adi's arms and playing with him. He look around and saw the room was filled pics. Some pics was of Ishra, some of ishrarudi and few was of his pic with ishaan in his arms.
Raman looked at ishita with questioning eyes.
Ishita-i merged ur pics with him, so that he can see u and feel safe.
Raman -matlab.
Ishita-he is not a normal child. He is mentally challenged.
Raman -what.he crushed on the chair all shocked.
They were talking on the threshold of the room so both the kids didn't saw them.
Raman was all shocked, not knowing how to react.
Ishita ran to him and said-i am sorry raman. Sab meri galti hai. U were right, I am not a good mother. I couldn't protect my child. But please mujhe chod kar mat jaiyega.
Raman realised why she was so worried. He composed himself seeing her so tensed and broken.
Raman cupped her face and said-i will not leave u alone this time. Trust me ishita, ur ramab won't leave u this time.
Ishita hugged him tight hearing this and cried bitterly.
Ishita-thank u raman, thank u so much.
Raman -tell me what happened with him.whats wrong with him.
Ishita-nothing Raman, Woh bahut intelligent hai, bas bahut insecure bachcha hai. Woh logon ke saamne jaane se darta hai. Since childhood, he is with me ,adi and his caretaker. Woh kisi aur se paas nahi jaata. He start crying the moment he feels that he is alone. That's why we decorated his room with those pics. He feels to secure seeing him in ur arms. Don't know why and how, but he is so much connected to u. He talks to ur pic.
Raman -why he is so insecure.
Ishita-its because of me. The mental trauma I went through when I was pregnant with ichu results in his mental instability.
Raman -mental trauma.
Ishita-yes, amma appa was so angry. They were hell bent to abort the baby, but I wasn't ready.so they left me alone. I use to cry all day, aapko bahut yaad karti thi. Because of all that, he is also very insecure. U know the only strength for me that time was adi. He loved me, cared for me like a father. Mere bachche ne bahut himmat dikhayi. He made me strong to live and fight for myself and ichu. Warna shayad main bhi mar jaati aur ichu bhi.
Raman cried hearing what she went through without him. She suffered for no reason and now their son is suffering for no reason.
Raman -u could have called me once ishita. He said with moist eyes.
Ishita-i tried, but couldn't muster the courage to tell u the truth. The fear that u will also abandon me, hate me like amma appa broke me from inside. I was just breathing not living. I was fighting alone against the world to save our baby. But at last my patience broke. I cried bitterly on ur birthday, I so wanted u with me that I couldn't stop my tears. Which results in my low bp. I fell off the stairs in my seventh month and gave birth to a premature baby. He got hurt in his head adding to his illness. After much try doctors could save him. But he is mentally challenged child. She said crying.
Raman couldn't take the pain more and hugged ishita tight. She start crying more loudly hugging him tight.
Ishita-i am sorry raman, I am sorry. I am not a good mother. I can't protect my child .
Raman -i am sorry jaan, I am not a good husband and a good father. I couldn't protect my family. Meri biwi mere bachche itna kuch sehte rahe and I don't even know. I am sorry jaan. It's all because of me. But now I am here naa, hum milkar thik karenge apne bachche ko, apne ichu ko. Karenge naa.
Ishita nodded in between her tears. Raman wiped her tears and said-take me to ichu and adi. I want to love them. Mere bachchon ne mere bachche hone ki saza paayi hai.lets go.
Ishita nodded and wiped her tears. Ishra hold each other's hand and they entered the room.
