CHAPTER-3

It was his parents 20 - th wedding anniversary party, as usual celebrated in their farm house in the outskirts of Delhi. . Raman saw Ishitha walking towards him shyly. He was standing in their garden , with a glass of whiskey in his hand. He heard soft music from across the poolside and he could already imagine his parents dancing in there. Ishitha had almost reached him and he could see that she had abandoned her famous pigtails for once and had gone for a more sophisticated look that night. She looked older and was damn hot in a knee length midnight blue dress. He felt his heart beating frantically at her very sight

" Um.. Raman why did you call me here?" Ishitha asked nervously.

Ishitha was shivering with excitement or fear , Raman did not know, .

" Firstly I wanted to apologise-"

" Raman , you don't have to-"

" No Ishitha I am sorry, I behaved like a jerk. Uncle and aunty left you with us hoping that you will be treated like family, everyone but me welcomed you with open arms...But I let my insecurities get the better of me and treated you badly."

" It is not your fault Raman.. I did not feel bad. You are rude to everyone!"

" I don't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult...Whatever..I wanted to tell you something else, something important.."

The brief silence that followed was broken by Raman.

" Ishitha,... I...I am a very practical person . And I don't like putting things away for later...So I will straight away come to the point.Now that Papa is sending me away , I have to confess something before I go. That day you told me that you are in love with me and I rejected you...it was not because I don' t have any feelings for you...i thought you are too young for a relationship..but now I feel that I should not leave without revealing my real feelings for you " Raman asked in a husky voice.

" Does that mean you love me?" Ishitha asked in a bare whisper.

" Oh! Pagal madrassan I am deeply, madly in love with you."

" I LOVE YOU TOO RAVAN KUMAR." Ishitha excitedly ran towards him. Raman lifted her from the ground and twirled her around. She hugged him tightly and let out a heartfelt laugh."

Raman placed her on the ground and looked at her intently. Ishitha felt something changing in his body language. He was looking at her as if he was seeing her for the first time. Ishitha moved back and Raman followed her like a moth attracted to flame. When her back touched the garden wall, Raman immediately placed his hands on either side effectively trapping her. He gently bent his head , his lips fast approaching hers.

" WHO'S THERE?"

Raman was brought back to earth by the loud knocks on his bedroom door.

" Raman puttar open the door , see a special guest is here to see you.."

Raman walked towards the door to let in his mother and the ' special guest ' who turned out to be Ruhi. As soon as he saw her, a heartwarming smile appeared on his face .He bent down to take Ruhi in his arms and carried her to his dressing table. He had always wondered how Ruhi's mere presence make him this happy. They have been with each other for a single month and they have already become inseparable. Ishitha always brought Ruhi with her whenever they met. Under normal circumstances it might have irritated him, but not with Ruhi. Each moment in Ruhi's company was pure bliss. Raman firmly believed that Ruhi had brought the two of them closer to each other in many ways. They were already like parents...

Santosh smiled at seeing Raman take Ruhi in his arms without bothering about his wedding dress. Her son was going to be a great father.

" She bribed Romi into bringing her, who can resist your daughter, afterall.? "

Raman did not share everything about Ruhi with his siblings. They were just told that he and Ishitha were going to adopt a little girl after their marriage...

" Ma?"

" Don't worry Raman your papaji will handle every thing, you don't have to share any details with anyone. Everyone will come to know about Ruhi only when you and Ishitha are comfortable with it... Now I am going downstairs, both of you should also come down quickly, we have to leve for the marriage venue in an hour..."

Santosh left the two of them to their own company.

" My dear princess, you are looking very pretty in this lehenga , who brought it for you?"

" Ishima"

" So how am I looking?"

In reply Ruhi smeared a spot of her kajal on her little finger and softly marked it behind his ears. Raman felt lump rising in his throat. His eyes became filled with unshed tears. Ruhi then placed a kiss on his right cheek.

" You are looking so beautiful papa. Mumma does the same to me...to protect you from evil eye."

Raman hugged Ruhi to his heart's content.

" I love you Ruhi ,never forget that."

***

Simmi and Rinki made her sit on her nupital bed. All the way to the bedroom, they had sent naughty suggestions in her direction and made her promise that she will share all the juicy details of her first night with them. She felt her heart breaking into a million pieces once they left her alone. In a way she was cheating them, taking advantage of their feelings...

The flowers , the candles,..they were suffocating her..She felt like burning the bed to ashes...

***

Raman was fed up with the herd of cousins blocking his way to his young bride. They were ofcourse led by the monkeys, who God mistakenly sent to earth as humans , that too as his siblings. He could not believe even now that he had to give away one lakh to get permission to enter his own bedroom...

As soon as he entered his room, he locked the door and looked around for Ishitha . She was standing near the window and looking intently at the sky. He softly walked towards her hugged her from behind.

" Hello madam, if you have finished counting the stars, spare a glance on your husband, after all only he deserves your attention on you wedding night..."

" Raman.." Ishitha whispered.

Raman placed a gentle kiss on her exposed shoulders. As he tried to move away her long tresses to continue with his ministrations, she pried away his hands and moved away from him.

" What yaar, madrassan you have not even allowed me to kiss you yet, you made me wait till our marriage and now you are wasting time. How can you be so unfair to your poor husband?" Raman whined like a baby.

Ishitha moved away from the window and poured herself a glass of water.

" Nervous?..." Raman questioned.

" Not really... It's just that I have been waiting a long time for this moment..."

" My state is no different..you know I am bloody lucky that I am getting a second chance with you, Ishitha. I cannot believe that we are life partners and ..."

"And...?"

" And that I am going to make love to you...again."

"AGAIN?... But you have never made love to me , Raman!"

Raman sensed a change in Ishitha's demenour. Her eyes were strangely antogonistic.

" What happened Ishitha?You cannot have forgotten that night?"

" I wish I could forget that night. But you made it totally impossible for me! "

" Ishitha-"

"How could any woman remember the memories of a rape, right?"

" ISHITHA STOP IT I DID NOT RAPE YOU ! How can you accuse me of something this vile?"

" Oh then care to enlighten me ! I was sixteen, you had sex with me, what do you call it in India,...um...yes of course rape!"

" It was not like that, I touched you with your permission-"

" You made your love declaration just in time ..you made sure that I won't resist your advances."

" Ishitha I do not regret our first time, it might appear wrong to you now, but..that night gave me the strength to live without you for seven years, that night gave me courage whenever I felt like I was losing you. You shared your body with me Ishitha , I have never received as precious a gift from anybody in my life..."

" If you respected me that much , if you really cherished my gift, then why did you allow that night to become my greatest nightmare, why did you allow it to scar me forever?" Ishitha sobbed.

" Ishitha I don't understand...What are you doing?"

Raman noticed Ishitha popping a pill into her mouth. His heartbeats increased frantically.

" ISHITHA NO-"

"Oh stop , it was a sleeping pill. Don't want anyone to shake me awake."

Raman observed Ishitha with ill concealed fear.

" You remember me coming to you the night before you left for London...I claimed that I was carrying your child?" Ishitha asked calmly

" NO NO NO...YOU WERE LYING ..YOU WERE LYING TO GRAB MY ATTENTION... YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE ME STAY BACK..." Raman was getting desperate.

" You asked for proof that night, didn't you? You said that even if I was pregnant it would not be your child. You called me wh**e and declared that any child born to me will be nothing but a bas***d." Ishitha said without bothering to conceal her contempt.

" I ..I AM SORRY.. I NEVER MEANT-"

"OH you did not mean it did you?..Well I meant every word I said to you that night..I was pregnant and I gave birth to my baby when I was barely seventeen. As soon as it came to this world my baby was taken away from me. I could not feed or pamper my baby ..I never even got a chance to sing a lullaby and put my baby to sleep..."

Raman's knees gave away. He sunk onto the floor lifelessly. Ishitha moved towards the bed and sunk into it.

" Who ...where..." Raman asked expectantly.

" Oh you are quite curious to know about your child, I see..well you have to wait till the morning ...I am too sleepy now."

" Please.."

" SWEET DREAMS Raman..."
