Sanam Re ...O my beloved... Part 5

The astrologer:According to Raman's horoscope his wife won't survive for a long time.If Ishita marries Raman that would be the end of her life.
All were shocked.
Santhosh:What nonsense is this?
Radhika:We don't believe in all this.Just because of a blind belief we won't cancel this wedding.
Santhosh:Exactly.

Sarla stared at Radhika:Can I ask you something?If Ishita was your daughter would you have moved forward with this wedding?Would you have taken the risk of this wedding if Ishita was your daughter?

Everyone including Radhika was stunned.
Radhika:Sarlaji...
Raghuvir:Sarla..what are you saying?

Sarla:I am a mother.I can't risk my only daughter's life.If Raman loses Ishita he will get another wife.But I won't get another daughter.
All became upset.
Ishita:Why are you talking like this Maa?Just because of horoscope you are thinking of cancelling this wedding?
Astrologer:Astrology is not silly.Whatever I have predicted has come true.
Sarla:Right.Whatever he predicted in our life has come true.So how can we take this risk?
Raman was in tears:But we...how can we get separated?
Raghuvir was confused.
Sarla:Why are you silent?Will you conduct this wedding just to please your best friend?
Raghu became upset.
Ishita:Whatever it is I will never leave Raman's hand.If I ever get married that will be with Raman.Otherwise I will remain as a spinster.
All were shocked.
Sarla:Ishita!Will you disobey me?
Ishita:Maa!You and papa only selected Raman for me.I did'nt find him for myself.After attaching Raman to my life are you trying pluck him from my life?Have you ever thought how I will feel?How painful it will be for me?
Sarla was silent.
Ishita held Raman's hand:Raman...don't be upset.Nothing can separate us.We will always be together.

Raman smiled emotionally:Thank you so much Ishita for being with me and not leaving me because of astrology.I can't live without you.
Ishita:Even I can't live without you.

They shared an emotional eye lock.

Raman Ishita went to a temple.
Ishita:This is a powerful temple over here.Whatever I have prayed for have been given by God.I am confident that this time too God will hear my prayer and fulfil my wish..my wish to live with you happily.
Raman smiled.
Ishita folded her hand closing her eyes.Raman smiled.

They both prayed.
Raman prayed:God...please let us live happily together and not let the astrologer's words come true.
I don't know if astrology is true or not.But please give my Ishita a long life time.
Ishita opened her eyes and smiled at Raman.
She held his hand:Now God will always tie us together.
Raman smiled.

Sarla blasted at Raghuvir in frustration:Are you a father?Don't you have any consideration towards Ishita?How can you let Ishita be with Raman after hearing what the astrologer said?Don't forget that his words have always been true in our life.
Raghuvir closed his eyes painfully.

Raghu:Ok...You may be right.I need to think as a father also.
Santhosh and Radhika came.
Raghuvir felt difficult to face them.
Santhosh:Don't feel odd Raghu.You both are right as parents.It's your duty to protect your daughter.We too want Ishita to be safe.

Radhika was upset:We will think that we are not lucky enough to get a daughter in law like Ishita.

They all were sad.

Sarla:I am sorry Radhikaji.I was rude to you.What to do?The mother in me talked like that in frustration.

Radhika:It's ok Sarlaji.I understand.

Raghu:We thought our familes will become one through this marriage.We thought Raman is the best boy for our Ishita.But we ourselves are trying to break this relationship.

Santhosh:Even though this wedding won't happen our families will be one.And Ishita will get a better boy.We will pray for that.

Raghu Santhosh burst into tears and hugged each other.

The next day...

Ishita wore her new ghagra.She looked at the mirror and smiled.
Ishita:I will go and show this to Raman.He will be impressed.

Ishita went to Raman's room.

She was shocked to see Raman getting romantic with a stylish girl.

Raman:Hey Shagun...you love me this much?

Shagun:Yes Raman.I really love you.That's why I came all the way from London for you.But you are going to marry someone else?

Raman:Who said I will marry her?I don't love that behenji.I love only you my Shagun darling.I just pretended to love Ishita for my parents as they want me to marry their friend's daughter very badly.

Ishita was shattered.

Ishita:Raman!

Raman was shocked to see Ishita:Ishita!
Ishita stared at Shagun:Who is she?

Raman:My girl friend.
Ishita could'nt bear it.
Ishita slapped him:You cheater!You liar!You played with my emotions and I was a fool to think that you love me.

Raman shouted:Yes..you are fool.Otherwise you would not have thought that a NRI doctor like me will love a stupid village girl like you.

Ishita became upset.Her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ishita:I am a fool to even think of risking my own life to marry a heartless person like you.

Raman smirked:Yes... you are a fool.Otherwise why will you agree to marry me against your parents' wish though the astrologer predicted that you will die if you marry me?

Ishita:I am not going to marry you Dr.Raman Bhalla.I hate you.

Raman smirked:Thank you for deciding not to marry me.I was thinking how to throw you out of my life.Now you yourself is getting out of my life.I am happy.Please get out of my life immediately.

Ishita:Yes..I am going.

Ishita left the room crying.
