Part 3-
"Then go, but if in the morning when you return, I am dead, do not blame me" Ishita's words resounded in Raman's head.
In his heart he knew she wasn't lying but he couldnt remember anything that happened, so what was the truth? Was the only life he knew, a lie? Or was he reading to much into a mentally ill patients words?
"Papa, papa" Rajveer shouted, Raman picked him up "How is my little boy"
"Good, but people were laughing today because I dont have a mum, because youre not my real dad"
"Hey, I am your real dad, so what if we dont have the same blood hm"
Rajveer sniffed and smiled
"I really need to return to the hospital, so im going to leave you with Neelu okay"
Rajveer nodded
Raman had to try and trust Ishita once, to see if she was telling the truth
Because right now he could not distinguish fact from facade
---------------------
Ishita lay, strapped to a hospital bed
Her eyes teary, she prayed Raman would heed her warning and return to the hopsital, just once, just to see her, before it was to late!
"Anand please"
"Its doctor Anand to you"
Ishita closed her eyes, licking her dry lips she let out a heavy sigh "I love you Raman" she whispered
Raman stormed into the hospital and ran to his office to see that Ishita was not there
"Hey nurse, where is Ishita"
"Anand took her sir"
Raman ran as fast as he could to Anand's main operating room and wasnt surprised when he saw the operating light on
Kicking the door open, Anand whizzed around to face him, Raman grabbed him by his shoulder, punching him in the face he shoved him into the wall
"I never should have f**king trusted you" Raman shouted, elbowing him in the nose, he lifted his knee and kneed Anand in the stomach
Throwing him outside the room he kicked him in the face "The police are already on the way"
Anand looked up at the hand on his shoulder to see a police officer who cuffed his wrists
Raman pulled the straps off of Ishita and pulled her up, into his embrace, his hands tangled in her hair
Her shoulders shook while she sobbed in his arms
"You believe me" she asked
"Yes, I never should have doubted you" he stroked her hair, pushing it out of her face and kissing her forehead
---------------------
Luckily as the head doctor Raman was able to sign Ishita out of the hospital without much hassle, both made their statements on Anand and left
Raman found it difficult to look anywhere else, it was like finally breathing now Ishita was in his view again
"So you have a son" Ishita asked, worried he had fell in love with another
"I adopted him, out of loneliness, his name is Rajveer"
Ishita let out a breath she didnt even know she was holding, thankful Raman was still completley hers
---------------------
Arriving at Raman's house, Ishita followed Raman in
Rajveer ran over to Raman "papa who is this"
"You said you didnt have a mama, so now you do"
Rajveer hugged Raman's legs "thank you, thank you, thank you"
It was about an hour later when Rajveer went to sleep, Raman sat on the sofa next to Ishita
"So, other than forgetting you, who else have I forgotten"
"Your mum, dad, son Adi, two daughters Ruhi and Pihu, my parents, your brother Romi, his wife, who is my sister Mihika, your sister Simmi, her daughter Ananya, your ex wife Shagun who is married to my best friend Mani, my brother and his wife"
Raman looked befuddled
She smiled, patting his hand "But we dont need to worry about that now, for now its us and Rajveer and our very own pagalpan"
