Last part
Days started passing ishra friendship has become more strong , they had come more closer but neighter of them ever thought or tried to take their relationship further. Their exams has completed and Raman has started going to office while ishita was waiting for results, sitting in home itself .
It was Saturday,today Raman had not gone to office as today is his leave . They only work for five days in a week,Raman thought to spend the day with ishita , they had even planned much things for the days. Raman informed toshiji about their plan and went to meet ishita . He stopped in front of her house and pressed the horn , soon ishita showed up and called Raman inside . He went to his home and she called him in , he settled in the couch while she brought coffee for him . He started having coffee when ishita spoke " Raman I wanna show you something. "
R- Kya?
I- wait .
Saying so she went inside and came with a photograph .She showed it to him and spoke "Raman see this "
R- what ?
I- (showing a boys pic)- how is he ?
R- at first tell me who is he , tera bhai vaai hai .
I- noways,this is not my brother but Amma, appa has chosen this boy for me . Bol na kaisa hai .
Raman looked at ishita for sometimes while she was all busy in looking the picture, he took the pic and spoke seeing the pic nicely " he is nice and handsome , fit bhi dikh raha , you can go for him ."
I- achcha hai na , I too liked him but thought to ask you once .
R- that's nice , you can meet him .
He spoke meekly while ishita was noticing his expression from cores of her eyes . He returned the pic to her and asked " I had planned much for today , tu mere saath aa rahi hai or you had some plan for him ".
I- arey nahi , I don't know him yet . Chal kahaan chalna hai what you have planned .
R- was thinking to do some shopping , then will have lunch in a nice restaurant then we will go for a long drive , then we will sit on our place (a bench beside a lake ) and spend sometimes together, talking random things.
I- I m on for this , come let's go .
Soon ishra were out , driving on the roads of Delhi , after sometimes they reach the mall and went inside . Raman asked " what first ladies or gents ".
I- we should go in gents section as you have to do shopping , I don't have to much shopping .
R- ok chal , I have to buy some business suits and formal cloths for office , papa was scolding me that I don't have office going cloths .
Soon they were in men's shop choosing cloths for Raman . They picked some nice suit for Raman , he went to try them and found that they were small . Ishita spoke scolding him " motu can't you became bit fit , see no cloth is fitting you , I m pitying on the girl whom you will marry you, bechari dab jaayegi tere neeche".
Raman saw at ishita and she was saying it seriously , he felt bad thinking she was very much ok with her marraige thing while ishita looked at him with teasing eyes but her expression changed instantly when she saw him but sad and asked " tumhe bura laga kya, I m so sorry Raman , sorry that i called you motu, aage se kuch nahi boolongi ".
R- (composing himself )- arey nahi , aisa kuch nahi hai, you have all the rights on me , tu kuch bhi bula mujhe . I was just thinking " tu bhool to nahi jaayegi mujhe apni shaadi ke baad ".
I- noways , you are my best friend , I can I forget you , you were the one who stood as a support system when I was all alone and broken after who's betrayal.
Raman smiled listening to her while she hugged him tight , soon both completed their shopping , then had their lunch.After that they went to the lake side , sat there for much time, talked about random things, their school,college , job,life after marraige everything then they came back . Raman dropped ishita to her house , he met her parents also , Amma even asked about the boy too .Raman told that the boy is good looking and he will be perfect if he has a nice nature , Amma got happy and blessed Raman happily.After that Raman came home back .
Days again started passing , though till now Raman hadn't thought anything about ishita but after listening about her marraige he was very restless, he knew very well that nothing can happen between them ever but still he was not feeling good . He don't know what's it but he was feeling too low thinking that ishita will go after her marraige. To stay away from her and suppress his emotions he stop meeting ishita while on the other hand ishita's marraige got fixed and one day when Raman reach house , he saw ishita and her parents were sitting in his house .He got bit surprised while Mr bhalla opened his arms and called him to himself . Raman went and sat beside his father while he spoke " puttar ishita's marraige has fixed and they had come to call us for ishita's engagement. "
Raman gave a meek smile and asked" when is the engagement ".
Appa- day after tomorrow .
R- congrates ishita , uncle mujhse koi help chahiye then you can tell me .
Appa- you just come to engagement that will be much .
R- I will surely come .
They spend some more time whike ishra too spend sometimes , whole the time ishita was noticing Raman's dull face and was asking the reason while he was not saying anything , then iyers left bhalla house , after inviting them again .
On the day of engagement , toshiji brought a beautiful cream color sherwani with legroom and golden embroidery and told Raman to wear it , he saw the sherwani and spoke " ma I m not going to wear it , it's just so gorgeous, it's not mine but ishita's engagement, main hi dulha lagoonga".
T- haan to tu Kya dulhe( groom) se kam hai Kya.
R- arey ma samjho na, please I can't wear this . It's just so gorgeous .
T- but I had brought it for you and you have to wear this only , either we are not going .
R- ma please , I can't...
T- koi nahi then we are not going .
That's when ishita's phone buzzed, he picked the call and she asked " hey motu you hadn't come yet , come soon , I m waiting for you".
R- coming, it's ma who is getting late .
I- I don't know anything come asap.
R- ok sweety .
He hung the call whole toshiji showed him the sherwani and spoke " if you are wearing this then only we are going ".
Raman nodded and spoke " ok you go I m just coming ". Toshiji smiled fully and went while Raman dressed up in the sherwani and get ready. The bhallas were on the way to iyer house after sometimes . They reached the iyer house , Mr and Mrs iyer welcome them wholeheartedly while Raman was looking for ishita . Amma saw him and spoke " you are searching for ishu na."
Raman nodded while Amma informed that she is with her cousin and will be coming to the hall soon . Bhalla's were in hall , Mr iyer were introducing them to his relatives while Raman's eyes were on the entrance only from where ishita is suppose to come , that's when he saw ishita coming to the hall with some girls.He saw her thinking she will look at him but to his disappointment she didn't raised her eyes to see anything or anyone . Thats when Mr iyer walked to her hold her hand and climbed the stage with Amma. The trio reached the stage and Mr iyer took the mike. He took the mike and spoke " welcome ladies and gentlemen, I m glad that you all have come here to be a part of our happiness , so friends I m here to announce engagement of my daughter ishita iyer with her friend and Mr , Mrs bhalla son , Mr Raman Kumar bhalla . "
He announced happily , Raman was shocked listening to this while Mr and Mrs bhalla dragged Raman towards the stage . He looked at them surprisingly whike ishita was calling him , forwarding her hands towards him . He was surprised knowing that ishita and his parents everyone knows it , they reached the stage and panditji started doing the puja of rings which both mother's gave . After that they forwarded rings to ishra , Ishita opened her finger and signalled him to make her wear ring , s
He saw her with surprising eyes and slid the ring in her finger while ishita happily pulled out his finger and made him wear the ring. Their parents blessed them happily while the guest applauded for the couple . Soon all got busy in party whike Raman took ishita to a corner and asked " what's all this ,you had shown me pic of another boy, phir ye sab ".
I- yeah I had shown you pic of another boy and even my marraige was getting fixed with him but in all these days when you were working and we couldn't meet , I was feeling too alone . The thought that our relationship will not be same after my marraige, made me more restless . I thought what's happening to me , after much thinking I concluded that it's my affection towards you and I had seen your face too that day . Finally after much thinking I decided that I have to marry you , I talked to Amma appa , at first they got a get but then they went to your house . Uncle and aunty , no mummyji and papa ji got ready instantly , aakhir itni achchi bahu jo mil rahi thi. Everything got decided but I thought to surprise you . Motu you were dying but can't you confess your love. "
R-( smiling fully )- I was dying, who told you
I- mummyji and papaji they told me about your state , you were being devdas , always engrossed in work , eat less , sleep less , not talking to anyone .
R- ok khabri lal, you have all the news about me .
He spoke coming closer to her,she blushed while he didn't stopped and captured her lips for a deep kiss , she too didn't resisted and responded fully, wounding her hands around his neck.
