Thanks a lot for the lovely response.
Part-2
Next day, as planned, all went on shopping. Toshiji asked Raman when will be Shagun coming to Delhi to which he said she will come before the rituals will start. Simmi didn't leave the chance & commented,
Simmi-Don't you know Mumma, she is the busiest person in the world.
Romi & Rinki laughed at her comment while Raman glared them which they just ignored leaving Mihir & Ishita confused.
Ishita-What's so funny in this if she is busy in her work?
Simmi-Ishita, before you take her side, let me tell you where she is busy. She is busy in her spa, parlour & late-night parties..
Raman-Enough Simmi. I will not give any excuse but at least don't say like this about Shagun in front of outsider.
He said angrily & was going when Toshiji stopped him angrily as he called Ishita as outsider.
Toshiji-Aaj bol diya hai, aaj ke bad khabardar jo Ishita puttar ko baaharwaala kaha to. Maafi maang abhi...
Ishita-No need auntiji, mujhe koi farak nhi padta. Simmi, I just come after talking to designer, she will show you her collection.
Saying without any emotion, she was going when she heard sorry from Raman. She stopped for a second but went from there saying it's ok without looking at him. Toshiji again warned Raman not to say like this again, now she is a part of their family. After selecting outfits there, they went to a nearby mall to buy some more things for their regular use. They just entered in mall when they heard, "Ishita Ji. All turned and saw a couple was standing there, man was shocked and scared while lady was smiling.
Lady-Thank you so much Ishita Ji for giving two days leave to my husband. It really means a lot.
Ishita-It's ok. And a very happy anniversary to you both.
Lady-Thank you so much.
Man-Aditi, you just go and sit in car, I'm just coming in few minutes.
Lady-ok.
She left.
Man-I'm really sorry mam, I lied to you and thank you for not telling it to my wife.
Ishita-You lied that your wife is not well but your wife didn't.
Man-What do you mean?
Ishita-I gave you leave because your wife called me and asked for it as it's your wedding anniversary before you came to me.
Man-Sorry mam, but everyone was saying that you will not grant me leave so I lied.
Ishita-main sirf emotional fool nhi Hu, otherwise dusro ke emotions ki kadar karna janti Hu, especially my employees. You were new in the office so may be everyone told you that and it will be good if you will not lie to me from next time for anything as I just hate liers.
Man nodded saying sorry and left.
Rinki-You are so sweet Ishita Ji.
Ishita smiled lightly and all continued their shopping. Ishita went aside for a phone call. She was going back after call when someone hold her hand. She looked back only to see Raman.
Raman-Don't you have emotions? Why can't you enjoy your life like a normal girl? Just roaming with us keeping a fake smile...
Ishita(interrupted angrily)-Listen Mr Raman Kumar Bhalla, first of all, you are no one to question me and I'm not answerable to you. Lastly, don't you dare to talk to me like this next time.
She said in angry tone freeing her hand from his hold and just went from there leaving Raman confused why she is like this. At the other side, Ishita joined the ladies and thought, "Jin logo ki wajah se meri life ke sare emotions khatam ho gaye, vhi insan mujhse yeh pooch rha hai. Ek baar yeh shadi ho jaaye bas phir batati hu bhallas ko ki. They completed their shopping and left for their houses separately. Mrs Bhalla and Simmi thanked Ishita and Mihir for their help. Ten days passed, Bhallas settled in delhi once again personally as well as professionally too, marriage preparations were going on with full speed, the groom's family (Sinha family & Adhiraj sinha, simmi's fiance) were already from Delhi and Ishita and Raghu knew them already. Bride and groom's families gathered for a dinner at Bhalla house three days before the wedding day to discuss over all preparations a last time and Mr and Mrs Bhalla invited Ishita, Mihir and Raghu also. All had dinner together and then talked for much time. After that, Sinha family and Iyers were going when Mr Sinha asked to Ishita,
Mr Sinha-Ishita, actually I want to talk to you about something.
Ishita-Yes uncle.
Mr Sinha-Actually my friend whom you met in business party last month, he liked you very much and. ...
Ishita(interrupted)-Liked means?
Mr Sinha-liked you for his son. He wants to make you his daughter in law...
Ishita (interrupted)-I'm really very sorry uncle but I can't. I'm sorry...
Mr Sinha-It's ok beta. I knew that you will deny that's why I already denied to him.
Ishita-Thank you for understanding. Sorry once again.
Saying she left while Mihir and Raghu too followed her leaving Mr and Mrs Bhalla thinking about the reason behind her denial. They asked Mr Sinha over it and he told them that after her father's death, when she worked hard and brought up their company's name, many got impressed with her and she got many proposals till now but she always denied saying she have no interest in marriage, no one knows the reason. Sinha family also left.
Raman (thought)-Yeh khud ko samajhti Kya hai. What type of girl she is? Jitna samajhne ki koshish karta hu utna hi ulajhta jaata hu. Yeh phool to apne garden se bahar kisi aur garden mein jane ko taiyar hi nhi hai, to mere garden mein kaise aayegi.
Next day morning, Bhallas suddenly came at Iyer house making them surprised. Romi told that they had decided for a party tonight before marriage.
Ishita-But...
Simmi-Oh please, itni mushkil se Mummiji papaji ne ha ki hai, ab tu please mana mat karna. Party rat ko hai so no excuses of your work.
Ishita-Ok.
Simmi-By the way, tujhe yaad hai na kal se functions start ho rhe hai & I want you beside me whole time, you promised me too so no office from tomorrow.
Ishita-Yes, I remember my promise but for that we have to go to office today. So, bye for now, we will meet you in the party tonight. Please send me the venue & timing. Ok bye.
Ishita & Mihir left for office. In evening when Ishita & Mihir came back to home, both got surprised to see the decorations & party arrangements at pool side & in hall also. It was not so big thing to understand who can do this & by a single look at Ishita, Mihir could imagine how much her temperature must be raised as she doesn't like if anyone does anything with her things, room & house without her acknowledge but she controlled herself as she knew that Raghu uncle must have given the permission for all this. She called manager in loud voice and Bhallas & adhiraj & their few friends came out hearing her who were waiting for them only. All were ready for the party. Rinki told them that Raghu is staying at Bhalla house along with Mr & Mrs Bhalla today while they will stay here after party. She also informed that there are separate parties, boys' in hall while girls' at pool side. Ishita & Mihir just nodded & went to change.
After half an hour, all were waiting for Ishita & Simmi only as Mihir also came. Boys were eagerly waiting for girls to go from there & they start their party but Ishita was taking much time. Finally, when they came out almost eyes stopped at Ishita, Raman too, she was wearing a floor length gown, simple but looking elegant. Rinki was the first one to complement her while Simmi informed that Ishita was coming wearing long kurti with leggings only & she chose this dress from her cupboard & forced her to change. Mihir thanked Simmi for giving a different look to Ishita as its very long to see her like that to which he got a glare from ishita. Raman was still looking at her. Romi & Rinki noticed it but they shook him before anyone notice him. Rinki even told him to think over his choice.
Girls were going out when there came Shagun wearing a short dress making all surprised, not Raman. She came to him & hugged him calling him "baby". All looked away making faces while she was about to kiss him on his cheek when Raman broke the hug & stood maintaining distance & told her to behave herself. Simmi asked about her arrival to which she informed that she was about to come tomorrow but when she got to know about party, she came urgently with her friends, she said showing her two friends who were also wearing short dresses. Simmi told they are getting late for party & informed her to come at pool side while she commented that it's so boring, why different parties but Simmi didn't pay any attention & went with girls. Shagun didn't say anything more due to Raman & they too went out.
Simmi, Rinki were enjoying with ishita & their friends mostly while shagun was busy with her friends & was trying to talk to Simmi too in between. Girls enjoyed outside while boys were also enjoying inside initially but later got bored as the dancer didn't come whom they had called as ishita sent back the dancer from the main door only because simmi told her to do so & secondly, she didn't like it to see a dancer in her house. Boys decided to join girls so Romi went out and asked girls to come inside on the name of having dinner together. Shagun and her friends were the first one to go inside. They went inside and saw boys were drinking, only mihir was not drinking as he strongly follows the norms of Iyers as a part of the family. Ishita settled away from them with mihir not wanting to lose her temper. Raman was already sitting between boys leaving no chance for Shagun to sit beside him so she too settled in other chairs with her friends taking drinks while simmi and rinki were shocked as they didn't know about drinks. Simmi scold them that Iyers are brahmin and told them to stop all this. Adhiraj too told that he also asked raman not to drink but he didn't listen and even forced him. Simmi was about to say again but Ishita stopped her saying the damage had already done so no use. They had dinner together and Ishita & Mihir left from there immediately having a few bites only as both were just hating the atmosphere, all felt bad except shagun and her friends who were busy in their own. Soon party ended all retired to different rooms in Iyer house only but Ishita didn't say anything due to Raghu uncle...
Here I'm ending this part. I know many of you have many doubts and you will know everything slowly, so have patience and enjoy the updates till then.
