Raman hugged ishita tight crying and said -hamesha mere saath hi aisa kyun hota, kyun main hamesha akela reh jaata hoon.
Ishita felt bad hearing his words and said hugging him more tightly -aap akele nahi hai raman, main hoon naa aapke saath hamesha. She said making him look at her.
Ishita cupped his face and said -haan raman, aap akele nahi hai. Main hoon aapke saath, hamesha. I will never leave u alone. She said looking at him while he was also looking at her without blinking his eyes.
She wiped his tears and said -aap please uski baat ka bura mat maniye,she was talking rubbish about u just because she don't know u. I know she was talking selfish but Aap please uski baat ko dil se mat lagaiye. Mujhe pata hai aap kitne achche hai, chunnu ko pata hai aap kitna pyaar karte hai usse, duniya bhale maa samjhe aapka pyaar. But I know how much u love her and how pure ur love is. Aapka pyaar toh aisa hai ki jisse mil jaaye uski zindagi mukammal ho jaaye. She said looking at him caressing his face lovingly while he was looking at her, her words were like music to him and the desperation of having him in her life was just so obvious.
Ishita was just looking at him when she realised what she was telling. She removed her hand and said -mera matlab hai ki that chunnu is lucky enough to have u in her life. Laajo nahi samjhti but I know how lucky chunnu is to have u.aap please mat dukhi hoiye. I can't see u crying and this broken. I like to see u strong very strong.
Raman smiled in between his tears and said -i am not hurt ishita, he said making her shocked. She turned to him and he continued -mujhe pata hai It's not her fault. Yeh duniya hi aisi hai. Koi apni beti ke liye kisi stranger ko trust nahi kar sakta.aur aaj kal toh aise cases bahut hote hai ki koi aged person choti bachiyon ko trap karke usse use karta hai.main raha hoon delhi mein, I have seen professors trapping their students and molesting them. She is not wrong, Main unki problem samajh sakta hoon. Ek jawaan beti jab galat karti hai yaa uske saath jab kuch galat hota hai toh kaisa lagta hai, I understand completely. It's not her fault, but mine, ki main chuniya mein apni beti dekh raha tha, apni Ruhi khoj raha tha. He said with moist eyes while ishita look at him and said -ruhi??
Raman -yes, Ruhi. Meri beti Ruhi, jisse jaan se jyada pyaar karta tha main.
Ishita got shocked hearing this and said -karta tha?? What do u mean, kya hua uske saath, Kahan hai woh. Woh thik hai naa.
Raman smiled at her concern and said -thik ho hogi, after all she is with her boyfriend, her liv-in partner. She don't need me anymore ishita, she don't need me. Mujhe apne ghar se nikaal diya tha usne, yeh kehkar that I am interfering in her personal matter. Really, I am her father, mujhse kaisa personal. Jab meri khud ki beti ne mujhe khud par adhikaar nahi diya, toh chuniya par kaise adhikaar maang sakta hoon. He said crying while ishita was shocked to hear this.
Ishita -aapki beti ne aapko ghar se?? Kya hua hai aapke saath Raman, tell me clearly. She said holding him.
Raman looked at her worried face and said -batata hoon, tumhe bataunga. Tumhe batane se meri takleef shayad thodi kam ho jaaye. May be u can get someone to share my pain.
Ishita -ofcourse raman, u can share anything with me. Aap mere saath apni takleef bantt sakte hai. She said and both sat on the couch together .
Raman start narrating -i have two kids, Aditya and ruhi.
Ishita looked at him with questioning eyes when he said -their mother died many years ago, twenty to be precise. When adi ruhi was just one. They r twins. Meri bhi umar jyada nahi thi. 21 rahi hogi. U know punjabiyon mein jaldi shaadi hoti hai, and then baby. My wife dies in a road accident leaving adi ruhi on me. Sabne mujhse kaha dusri shaadi kar lene ko to take care of my kids, but Maine nahi kiya, just because I never wanted a step mom for them. I took care of them all alone. Unki har khwahish puri ki. Given my life to them, mere bachche meri jaan the. He said smiling making her smile too.
Ishita -phir??
Raman -phir, phir kya. Dono ne twelve pass kiya and applied in London university for BBA. Dono select ho gaye, bahut intelligent hai. I was too happy, but I dont have that much money to send both of them. Dono bahut udaas the and I can't see them like this .maine apna sach kuch, almost everything which I had, my car, my house, sold everything. Broke my all fds, just to send them to London and finally I was succeeded.maine dono ko bhej diya but financially main itna tut gaya tha that u couldn't go to meet them. Pehle baat hoti thi, phir dheere dheere woh bhi kam ho gayi. They use to call me only when they wanted money. I use to them almost my whole salary. But unki maange badhti hi jaa rahi thi. One day I decided to visit them. I reached London and then the hostel they live. But got shock of my life knowing they don't live in hostel, even they were not attending their classes. Bahut dhoondha, I called them many times and at last got to know that they were living in a rented apartment with a boy and a girl. Who were brother and sister. I thought Ruhi was living with the girl while Aditya was with the boy. But when I reached there, I was shocked beyond words. My daughter was on bed with that guy, I couldn't could, he couldn't complete as his voice died in his mouth.
He cries bitterly hiding his face in his palm while ishita hugged him tight. He rested his head on her chest and said -my daughter was with him, I couldn't see, I slapped her and punched that guy only to get a slap from her. He said making ishita shocked.
Ishita -kya??
Raman -yes she slapped me for touching her boyfriend. Meri beti jiske liye maine sab kuch kiya, she slapped me on my face and start kissing her boyfriend infront of me. Meri aankhon ke saamne, he couldn't continue and cried bitterly.
Ishita was trying to console him while she was totally shocked knowing his past life.
Ishita -aur Aditya.
Raman -he was in another room, with the girl, nashe mein dhutt, cigarette, sharab, everything was there. I tried to talk to him but he was so much drunk that he throw his own father out of his apartment. Mujhe dhakke maar kar baahar phenk diya.my kids not only throw me out of their house but out of their life too. Itna hone ke bawajood bhi I tried to talk to them and make them understand that whatever they r doing is wrong .kya karun baap hoon nahi chod sakta tha, but couldn't make them understand. Baar baar beizzat hua aur jab beizzati hadh se jyada badh gayi ,toh wapas aa gaya. I tried to live happily in Delhi but couldn't find peace anywhere. So came here leaving everything. Phir yahan chunnu mili aur phir tum, zindagi thodu khush ho rahi thi ki aaj yeh sab. Sach kehta hoon Ishita maine chunnu ko kabhi galat nazar se nahi dekha, she is just like a baby to me. Main uska saath galat karna toh dur aisa soch bhi nahi sakta. She is just a baby ishita, just a baby. And I love her that way only. He said almost pleading her to believe him.
Ishita hugged him tight and said consoling him -u don't have to plead me to trust u raman, mujhe bharosha hai aap par. Aap kabhi galat nahi ho sakte, I trust u raman. Trust u alot. She said caressing his back while he snuggled more into her feeling solace in her arms.
