Raman hold ishita in his arms and called for doctor. Soon doctor and nurse came running and saw her bleeding.
Doc-omg, take her to OT. Her stitches r bleeding. Saying so he ran to OT while compounders took ishita to OT.
On the other hand, Raman was too shaken by the happenings. He thought to call someone to support him. At first he took Ishita's phone to call her parent but then think otherwise. He took out his phone and called his father.
After few rings Mr bhalla picked the phone and said-haan Raman.
Raman -papa can u please come to lifeline hospital.
Mr bhalla -what happened puttar.
Raman -please papa, as jao. I need u.
Mr bhalla -okay puttar, tu fikar naa kari. We r coming.
Raman nodded and hung the call. And start waiting for his parent or some news about ishita.
After an hour ,Mr and Mrs bhalla came to hospital. They reached to raman and asked the matter.
Raman narrated them all the incident ,how she was behaving rudely, then slapped him and finally how she start bleeding.
Toshiji-i think something wrong happened with her. Tabhi toh she is so determined to make the culprit guilty.
Mr bhalla -me too think the same but abhi yeh waqt yeh sab sochne ka nahi hai. It's time to pray for her, she got a head injury.
Toshiji-haan bhalla ji, u r right. Right now she was our prayers. Everything can sorted later. She said and all started praying for ishita.
After some fifteen minutes, doctor came out, Raman ran to him and asked about ishita.
Doc -who r u, her husband.
Raman -no, friend.tell me how she is.
Doc -to be frank, she is not fine and it is all due to her stubborn nature. She don't listen to anything and was keep taking stress.see it's a head injury and she shouldn't take it lightly. If u can make her understand this then it will be great or else it will be difficult to save her next time. He said and went to his chamber while ishita was shifted to her ward.
Raman went and brought coffee for himself and his parent.
Raman -sorry maa papa, u disturbed u two so late in night. But I was really scared for her and wasn't understanding whom to call. Phir Aap dono ka khayal aaya, so I called u two.
Mr bhalla -koi nahi puttar. Bachcha takleef mein maa baap ko nahi bulayega toh kisko bulayega. But I am not getting why she didn't call anyone from her family. Kya koi nahi hai uski family mein.
Raman -no, her parent stays with her. Her amma want to come but she denied. Pata nahi kya hai, apni mother se baat bhi ekdum formality ki tarah kar rahi thi. I think she don't have good relationship with her mother.
Toshiji-we can't judge anyone in just few meetings. May be she has some problem in her life.
Raman -yes maa, even I was thinking so. The way she was behaving and slapped me. I am sure there is something more to her story. And I have to find out.
Mr bhalla -i don't think it's a nice idea Raman. Agar koi aapse aapki problem share Karna nahi chahta toh u shouldn't force her. Kya pata usse pasand naa aaye yeh.
Raman -still papa, I will try. Chahe usse bura hi kyun naa lage. Coz I can see she is in some kind of pain aur main usse takleef mein nahi dekh sakta. Ek ajnabi ho kar bhi usse meri takleef nahi dekhi gayi. Toh main kaise dekhun usse takleef mein. Maine soch liya hai, I will find out the reason of her pain and will surely sooth it. No matter how she react. I know she will not like it, she will insult me, hurt me. Phir bhi main uski takleef kam karke rahunga. He was saying when they heard ishita saying-amma, amma please, save ur kanna, amma. She was saying in feel slumber while tears were flowing from corner of her eyes.
Raman -see papa, woh kitni takleef mein hai, usse aise kaise chod doon. He said going to her when Toshiji hold his hand and said-wait Raman, may be she don't like ur touch. Let me go. She said and went to ishita. She lovingly caressed ishita's face, ishita felt her hand and hold it firmly. Toshiji patted her softly and soon she was again in deep slumber.
Toshiji looked at Mr bhalla and raman and said-i think raman is right. Yes it will be wrong to interfere in someone's personal space. But agar koi apni hi takleef mein jeena chahe toh uski personal life mein invade karna padta hai. Raman if u r determined to make her normal, then I am with u.
Mr bhalla -main bhi, I too want to know that what happened with her. Kya hua hai iss bachchi ke saath that she is so harsh to everyone, even herself. He said and both nodded.
Soon all slept in her ward only.
Next morning ishita opened her eyes feeling relaxed.she was raising her hand only to see someone holding her hand. She got scared for a second to think she is the one responsible for the worst days of her life. She tried to shrugged the hand only to feel she is someone else. She wasn't able to see toshiji's face as she was sleeping hiding it under her arms .
Ishita looked around and saw raman and Mr bhalla sleeping. She was shocked seeing them. She shook toshiji a little and finally saw her face too.
Ishita-oh my god, Mr and Mrs bhalla yahan par, Raman ke saath. What they all r doing here. Kya hua that kal raat ko. She think and tried to remember and finally remembered how she had a panic attack and she slapped raman in her semi conscious state.
Ishita-shit ishu, what u have done. Tune Raman ko maar diya. How u r going to apologise. But what is ur fault, har baar yahin hota hai, Jab tu hospital aati hai. Issliye main hospital se jaana chahti thi. I hate this hospital ambience. She was thinking when nurse got in and said-good morning ma'am.
Ishita looked at her and said-good morning. Yeh log yahan,
Nurse-yes, they r here since ur stitches got worse, bahut fikar thi in logon ko aapki. I must say ur family is very good.
Ishita-yes, they r indeed good, but sadly they r not mine. Meri family nahi hai yeh.
Nurse-oh toh kaun hai log aapke.
Ishita-wahin toh main nahi samajh paa rahi hoon. Kaun hai yeh log mere, kya lagte hai mere, joh mere liye itna pareshan hai. I am simply not getting who r they. She said looking at bhallas.
Ishita was looking at them when nurse said -ok ma'am, Aap let jao, main injection de deti hoon. Saying so she was pulling her sleeves up when ishita said-can u please give me injection somewhere else. Mujhe haath mein nahi lena.
Nurse-but ma'am, haath mein hi injection diya jaata hai. Aap please mujhe injection lagane dijiye.
Ishita-aap Ek kaam kariye, take me somewhere else, Ek dum akele mein mujhe injection dijiye.
Nurse didn't understand why she is saying so took ishita with herself to the injection room.
Nurse-now u can take injection naa.
Ishita looked around and rolled her sleeves up making the nurse shocked.
Nurse-whats this ma'am.
Ishita -nothing, u just give me the injection and please don't tell this to anyone.
Nurse nodded and gave her injection.
Ishita sat on the chair feeling pain.
Nurse-aap yahin raho ma'am, I will bring ur clothes, Aap yahin freshen up ho jao.
Ishita nodded while the nurse went to bring her clothes only to see Raman up and looking for ishita. Seeing nurse he asked about ishita only to know that she is with her.
Raman -she is fine naa.
Nurse nodded and went back to the room.
Ishita took the clothes and the nurse asked -who is that handsome man with u.
Ishita-who handsome man??
Nurse-the one who is wearing grey shirt, who is he, very much concerned for u. I think he likes u.
Ishita -nothing like that, he is just trying to return my favour. I saved him once.
Nurse-really, is that so. Dekh kar toh nahi lagaa, he was really concerned for u. Aur woh gratitude nahi lag raha tha.
Ishita didn't said anything just went to washroom. After an hour, she reached her ward all ready wearing her white shirt with black formals only to see bhallas sipping coffee.
Ishita went to them and thanked them for their help and support.
Mr bhalla -no need to say thank u ishita.
Ishita-no Mr bhalla, sach Aap logon ne bahut help ki. Thank u very much. But ab aap log bhi ghar jaiye,mujhe bhi court jaana hai.
Raman -but u r not fine.
Ishita-i am good Mr bhalla and moreover I will feel better when I see Mrs sujatha mehra getting punished.
Toshiji-nothing is important then ur health puttar, if u think we have done anything for u then please don't go to court today. U r not fine enough to take any kind of stress.
Ishita looked at Toshiji and could see genuine concern in her eyes. She don't have heart to deny toshiji.
Ishita-ok aunty ji, just for u, I will not go to court today, but I can't stay here also. I will go home and rest. Is that fine.
Everyone nodded happily and soon ishita called her junior and tell him to take another date for her cases. After that she called her driver and soon she got discharged.
All were going out ,Mr and Mrs bhalla sat in their car,ishita's car too came, Raman was about to sit in his car when ishita called raman.raman walked to her and asked, what happened. Ishita look down and said-sorry.
Raman looked at her and asked -why.
Ishita showed him his red cheek and said-for that, really sorry.
Raman -its OK ,I know u were in pain and stress, so u r forgiven. But I would be really happy if u had shared ur pain with me.
Ishita looked at him and said-bye Mr bhalla.
Raman -its Raman.
Ishita-i prefer Mr bhalla. She said and sat in her car .the driver start the car .ishita want to turn and wave him bye but then thought otherwise and went without turning while Raman was waiting for her to turn. Seeing her not turning, he too sat in the car and drove to his house.
Later in afternoon,Raman was having his lunch while his mind was still on Ishita's behavior last night. He was still not getting why she rejected those hospital's clothes to wear. and then her screaming in fear and her tight slap on his face.
Raman -kasam se she is jkr, aisa thappad maara, pura jabda hil gaya. But why she behaved so, and why she didn't wear those hospital's clothes, i have seen her, she was all OK with the clothes. Then suddenly what happened that she became so angry. Aakhir kya tha, uss dress mein joh woh nahi pehnna chahti thi usse. He was thinking when Toshiji came to him murmuring something.
At first raman ignored it but at last said hearing her continuous ranting-what happened maa, why u r so upset.
Toshiji-these maids, I tell u. Kitne tantrums hote hai aaj kal inke. Pata nahi khud ko kya samajhti hai.
Raman smiled hearing her mother's words and asked-kya hua maa.
Toshiji-arey I gave my old designer saree and blouse to our maid, kehti hai blouse nahi legi, aur saree rakh li.
Raman -aisa kyun.
Toshiji-kehti hai bahut old fashioned hai, uske sleeves bahut bade hai, ab tu bhi bol main old fashioned hoon.
Raman smiled seeing her concern and said-nahi maa, aap toh bahut fashionable ho, wohi pagal hogi, sleeves se koi fashion, he was saying when something clicked his mind.
Raman -full sleeve shirts, full sleeves blouse and full sleeves kurti. Ishita hamesha full sleeves kapde pehenti hai aur woh hospital le kapde short sleeves the, kya yahin reason tha that she denied to wear them. Haan ho sakta hai, but why. I think mujhe pata lagana hoga. Saying so he got up and was going when Toshiji said-arey kahan jaa raha hai puttar. Khana toh kya le.
Raman -I am full maa, thank u so much. Love u. He said and went out while Toshiji was confused that why he said thank u to her.
