Part 4
Ishita took the phone and got the worst news of her life that Raman has slit his wrist and is struggling with his life in city hospital .And in his subconscious state too he was calling her name only,if she can come for once .Ishita nodded and ran out of the house ,she took the cab and reached the hospital as soon as possible .She entered the hospital and asked for him to receptionist ,she informed that he is in ICU .She went to ICU and asked the attendant to meet him ,he stopped and told ,its not visiting hours and doctor is also in round ,after doctor will leave she can meet her patient .Ishita nodded and waited for completion of doctors visit .Every passing minute was like ages , she leaned on wall and recalled all the moment when he made her feel special and she chased him away ,she closed her moist eyes to behold the tears but they rolled down but she didn't bothered to wipe them . She prayed from murugan to save him and cursed herself for her bitter words to him .
After ten minutes which seems to be forever ,she heard the choes and find the group of doctor coming out from ICU ,the attendant signalled her to go inside while she ran behind the doctor and spoke calking him from behind " sir ,sir I m ishita,Raman bhalla's wife ,sir please tell me how is he ."
D- he has major blood loss ,but was brought at right time ,so we are able to save him but still he is uncounsious , can only announce about his condition after he came to senses .
I- sir can I stay with him .
D- yeah ,he was calling you .
I- thank you so much doctor .
Saying so she went inside the ICU and saw him laying unconscious ,she walked to him sat on the stool beside him ,she took his wounded hands in her and kissed the back of his palm.She took it close to her heart and cried saying " sorry " to him .She then caressed his head softly and called his name " Raman ,Raman please open you eyes ,she I have come ,Now I will never go leaving you .I want you in life , it hurts when you are not around ,it hurts so when you don't take care of me ,It hurts when you didn't call me with my name .Raman please ek baar theek ho jaao ,after that we will be together . Me ,you in our house together forever. Please Raman open your eyes ,I cannot live without you please Raman talk to me ,call me ."
Saying so she kept her head near his hand and cried calling him again and again ,when she heard "my Ishita hates me ,I should die ".
She raised her head and saw him struggling with the words and chords attached to him body ,when she held his both hand and spoke " no Rsman no ,I m here ,I don't hate you rather I love you ."
Listening to her soft voice he opened his eyes only to find Ishita crying holding his both hands .He smiled between his pain and asked " Ishita tum aa gayi ,you came Ishita .".
She nodded happily between her tears that's when he recalled her words ,he complained like a baby and spoke with his curling lips ready to cry anytime " but you told that you don't love me and I should die ".
I- that i said in anger but now I want to be with you, I love you raman ,please mere liye jaldi achche ho jaao .
R- phir tum mujhe chod kar kahin nahi jaaogi .
I- no , I will always live with you ,now you don't have to lock me because I myself will not go anywhere .
R- sachchi .
Ishita nodded ,while his eyes again got teary ,he held her hand and spoke " you know Ishita I m very bad ,that's why everybody leaves me and go away from me ."
I(cupping his face )- no you are not bad but very good and those who left you they must be themselves bad .
R- I loved them but seems they don't love me as you hated me ,you know when I was only five years old my mother left me near railway station ,a man took me with him ,he beated me and make me injured ,even he didn't gave me food and next day he was telling to beg ,he left me near traffic light to beg when i saw a police ,i complained to him .He was a nice person he called his force and went to the place where I was kept ,he arrested the man and his gang .The police uncle praised me and called sharma uncle who was manager of a orphanage ,he took me with him there I found my little friend chotu .We bonded well in small time ,we always are together but one day an uncle aunty came abd took her away from me ,she promised me that she will come to meet me but she never came ,after that ma and papa came abd took me with them .I was happy with them ,they send me to school their k found my friend ashish ,he was my best buddy but after our schooling he went to another place ,he too promised me that he will come to meet me but never came.After that ma and papa also died, everybody left me .Now I was all alone bug never had guts to make new friends or relationship as everybody left me ,that day I saw you and don't know why I suddenly recalled my chotu .After realising that you are similar to my chotu ,I fell in love with you,wanted you to come in my life but you were denying,not leaving any chance for me ,so at last I took you from your marriage and got married to you.I always keep you with me and lock you so that you can't leave me as others left me .Ishita you will not leave me na .
Ishita shook his head negatively ,then asked "achcha tell me something about your chotu ".
R( smiling dreamingly)- she was too small only three and half years old . Sharma uncle told that her mother gave her to uncle before dying and told him to take care of her .she was very chotu ,you know just this much ( he showed the size with his hands ).She was white and her cheeks were chubby and red .I use to do all his work, I feed her ,bath her and play with her .
I- then .
R- then a uncle aunty came and took her with them ,uncle told that chotu has found new mummy and papa ,they will take care of her like their own baby .
I- and you let her go .
R- I was very small ,I don't wanted to ,even we both cried a lot but I cannot stop her ,that's why they took her .
I- you remember them .
R- no I don't remember them as I was very young to remember anyone's face .
I- then how come you remember Ber that chotu .
R- I can never forget her ,I don't need any photograph to recall her face .
I- you love her ?
R- don't know as that time we didn't know anything about love .
I- and me .
R- I love you very much ,if you will go ,I will surely die.
I- what if someday she will come back to you and says that she loves you .
R- she will not ,aana hota to aa gayi hoti .
I- what if her new parents don't want her to meet gappu .may be her house was so far that she couldn't come alone .
Raman saw her with surprising eyes and spoke " I didn't tell you my name ,how come.."
He stopped in mid while she asked " you recall chotu face ,recall her everything but couldn't recognize her ."
R- you ,chotu .
She nodded smiling fully between her tears ,he got up and hugged her tight .
He cupped her face and asked " my chotu my baby ".
She nodded happily .He dropped numerous kisses on her face and hugged her tight ,she too snuggled into him .
I( cupping his face )- but how come you became like this ,kidnappings and locking .what's this .
R- kidnappings, its not my practice, I just kidnapped you because you were not listening to me and marrying that aakash .
I- but you locked me for whole one month in your house .
R- I was scared that you will run away from there .
I- you forced me .
R- I thought you will not go after I make you mine ,but you send me to jail .
I- will take my complain back and will live with you always .
R- you love me ?
I- of course I love you .
R- whom gappu or Raman .
I- both ,at first I loved my gappu but today only I found that I can't live without you .
R- you will not run away from me and my house .
I- Never ,koi apne ghar se bhi bhagta hai .
R- and your parents.
I- I left them as they don't need me anymore.
R- matlab.
I- means I m married then why should I live with them ,they don't have any problem .
She knows very well that he will be angry knowing her parents behavior towards her so she didn't told anything while he smiled happily.
