PART 21
Soon Ishra reached the hotel, Raman called the bell boy to take their luggage inside while he picked ishita in his arms.
Ishita -arey raman, yeh kya kar rahe hai aap.
Raman -what, sirf apni tired biwi ko uthaya hai.
Ishita -I Am not that tired raman, I can walk.
Raman -i know but I don't want u to walk. I want to take u to our room like this only. Tumne bahut saare diya hai mera, hamesha mera sahara bani ho, now it's my turn to be ur support, to shower all my love on u. He said making ishita smile, she just adjusted her head on his chest while he took her to their suit.
Soon they reached the room and both inside.raman kept ishita on the bed and said -i just go and freshen up. Tumhe kuch chahiye hoga toh order kar dena. And yes, please order a coffee for me while something to eat. OK.
Ishita -kya khayenge aap.
Raman -u know my taste, isnt u.
Ishita nodded and raman went saying something to offer as per his taste.
Ishita picked the menu card to order something for him and got shocked seeing the price.
Ishita -baap re itna mehenga sab kuch, it's just too costly. But Raman hai bhi toh itne bade aadmi, and I am nothing infront of him. Agar woh mujhe nahi apnate, hamare bachche ko nahi apnate, phir bhi main kuch nahi kar paati unka, but he is so good that he accepted me, she was saying to herself when she heard, tumne bhi toh mujhe apnaya tha, when everyone left me alone.
Ishita looked at the direction and saw raman standing there, he has come to take the towel.
Ishita -woh raman, main toh bas.
Raman -its OK jaan, I know u r not use to it. But ab aadat daal lo, coz u r Raman bhalla's wife. Aur kahan tak baat hai apnane ki, toh tumhe mujhe pehle apnaya tha,tab apnaya tha jab mere khud ke parent ne mujhe apni zindagi se nikaal diya that, that time u accepted me, a handicap in ur life and made me ur life, I accepted u later. But it was u who started it, woh tum thi jaan jisne mujhe jeena sikhaya apni zindagi bana kar. He said making ishita smile.
Raman sat next to her and said -ek sawaal puchun. I always wanted to know the answer.
Ishita -haan puchiye.
Raman -why did u marry me.
Ishita -yeh kaisa sawaal hai.
Raman -seedha saa sawaal hai, tumne mujhse shaadi kyun ki ishita, just because aroras pressurised u, yaa phir koi aur kaaran tha.
Ishita look down and said -i was guilty, as I was the reason behind ur being blind. She said looking down making Raman shocked.
Raman -kya matlab mere andhe hone ka kaaran tum thi.
Ishita -actually mujhe aapse pehli nazar mein hi pyaar ho gaya tha.jab aap pehli baar ghar aati the, main aapko dekhti hi reh gayi thi, u were looking just too handsome, the way u were talking to all but ur fingers were on ur tab, I stood at the door of the kitchen and admired u till the time u were there. But my heart broke when ur marriage got fixed with Shagun. Woh bahut khush thi coz she is getting married to the most eligible of the town. U were handsome, rich and successful, Shagun ko aur kya chahiye tha. But I was sad, kyunki mujhe bhi aapke chahiye the. But my bad luck, main toh naukarani thi naa, aur naukaraniyon ko Raja nahi milte, but still I use to think may be some day I may get u. Meri uss chahat ki wajah se aapki aankhen gayi. Bhagwaan ji ne meri sun li aur aapse aapki aankhen cheen li. U know when I saw u panicking in hospital for ur eyes, my heart goes for u. I so wanted to take u in my arms and hug u tight to soothe all ur pain, but meri kismat mein Aap nahi the. But meri kismat badly, aur Shagun chali gayi, apni kismat mere haath rakh kar. Aunty ji ne khud mujhse kaha aapse shaadi karne ko, something which I dreamed for ever. Haan main darti thi, that what will be u and ur family's reaction but phir bhi aapko paane ka mauka nahi khona chahti thi, so I agreed to marry u. U know I was very happy, when we took nuptial vows infront of the sacred fire, jaise duniya bhar ki khushiyan mil gayi ho, but I was guilty ki meri wajah se aapki aankhen chali gayi. She said looking down making Raman smiled.
Raman went close to her and said pecking her temple -achcha hua chali gayi, warna mujhe tum kaise milti, meri shaadi Shagun se hi jaati aur mujhe kabhi pata hi chalta, ki koi mujhe itna pyaar karte hai. Pyaar chote bade ka mohtaj nahi hota jaan. Pyaar mein sirf true feelings dekhi jaati hai, status nahi. I really wish I could see ur pure love before, but shayad andha tha, tabhi toh tumhe chod kar Shagun se shaadi kar raha tha, but I am thankful to god ki unhone meri aankhen cheen kar mujhe sachai dikha di,that only u r the one in the whole world who loves me with my disability and beyond my disability. I love u jaan, I really do. He said and took ishita in his arms.
She too closed her eyes feeling contented and said -i love u too.
They stayed in each other's arms for sometime and then Raman asked -achcha tell me, what was maa papa's reaction after seeing u.
Ishita -i don't know precisely as they didn't said anything in front of me, but they were angry knowing I am a maid in Shagun's house. They decided not to tell u anything as u will be heart broken knowing that Shagun ran away from the marriage after u lost ur eyes. So they told me to play along.
Raman -and u agreed.u loose ur identity just to be with me.
Ishita -yes, coz they were letting me be with u, unn logon ne mujhe aapse alag nahi kiya, toh mujhe aur kya chahiye tha, all I wanted is u, aur jab Aap mujhe mil rahe the, apni identity chupane par toh woh sauda mujhe mehenga nahi lagaa. She said making Raman fell overwhelmed by her unconditional love for him.
He took her in a bone crushing hug and said -how can u love me so much jaan. Kaise kar sakti ho mujhse itna pyaar.
Ishita -i don't know, how and why, but I really love u alot. Main aapke liye kisi bhi hadh tak jaa sakti hoon. Apni identity kya cheez hai, agar aap jaan bhi maango naa,i will give happily. She said only to hear, chup jaan chup. Aur nahi bardasht kar paaunga. U know today I am the richest man on earth, coz I have someone like u to love me. Tu sach mein meri dhadkan hai, tere bina mera dil nahi dhadak sakta. I love u, I love u, I love u alot. He said and kissed her temple lovingly while ishita just closed her eyes feeling heavenly in his arms.
They stayed in each other's arms for sometime and then Raman said -ok, now I am going to freshen up, order something for me aur apne liye bhi manga lena, my baby must be hungry, aur haan sirf dishes dekhna uske daam nahi. OK.
Ishita nodded and finally Raman went to freshen up while she was feeling light after sharing everything with him, as for her, now their is no secret between them.
After some time Raman came all freshen up, wrapping a towel around his slim waist and shake his head near her to throw water droplets on her face, ishita smiled seeing his cute antics and said -ekdum bachche hai.yeh kya kar rahe hai.
Raman -yes I am ur baby only, chalo dry my hair like u always do.
Ishita took the towel and start drying his hair rubbing the towel slowly while Raman was enjoying her pampering.
After sometime,
Ishita -ho gaya.
Raman kissed her and said -thank u biwi, u know u r the best. He said and get up. He walked to the closet and took out a grey shirt with denims.
Ishita -r u going somewhere.
Raman -haan jaa rahe hai, main nahi hum.
Ishita -hum?? Kahan.
Raman -siddhivinayak temple.
Ishita -siddhivinayak, aise achanak.
Raman -actually tumhari baatein sun kar mujhe bhi kuch yaad aa gaya.
Ishita -kya.
Raman -last time when I came to Mumbai, uss samay ganesh utsav chal raha tha and I was very disturb. Uss samay meri shaadi fix ho rahi thi Shagun se. Though I haven't met her but seeing her pics in SNS I have known what kind of girl she is. And marriage is a life time decision, so I was bit disturbed. That time I have went to siddhivinayak temple with mihir. Wahan Maine mannat maangi thi, ki bhagwaan ji, I really don't know what is right for me and what I want in my life. But the day I will get what I actually, I will surely come to u. And today the day has come, I actually got what I wanted and that's u, so as he fulfilled my wish, I want to go and thank him. So get up and get ready.
Ishita smiled hearing him and said -thats really so sweet of u, but joh Maine order kar diya hai uska kya.
Raman -cancel it, we will eat out. Woh bhi beach par enjoy karte hue. What say, after visiting siddhivinayak we will go to beach, OK.
Ishita nodded and got up to get ready when Raman hold her by waist and said -bahut khoobsurat wali Saree pehnna aur bahut sundar lagna. I just want to admire u. He said planting a feathery kiss on her shoulder making her blush.
