Ishita was happily sobbing in toshiji's arms when Toshiji said -tune mujhe maa kaha??
Ishita look at her broking the hug and said-raman kehte hai, aur main unki biwi hoon. Toh I can call u maa naa??
Toshiji smiled and nodded in yes.
Toshiji -ab bas jaldi se hamari beti ban jaa. Tu ek baar sahi ho gayi naa ishita, hamara pura ghar sukhi ho jayega. Then we will stay happy forever.
Ishita -main achchi banungi, maa. Aapke liye, papa ji ke liye, apne raman ke liye. She said smiling.
Both were talking when they heard Raman voice. Both got up and went out only to see Raman standing there.
Raman glared ishita and said -maa, mera bag pack kar do, I have to leave in an hour. Aur khana bhi lagaa do, I am hungry.
Toshiji -achcha puttar, tu freshen up ho jaa. Main jaldi se khana lagaati hoon, phir tera bag pack kar deti hoon.
Raman nodded and went while Toshiji said -chal puttar, apne pati ko khana serve kar.
Ishita -main, but mujhe nahi aata.
Toshiji -then learn, come with me. She said to which ishita said -woh gussa hai mujhse, he was glaring at me.
Toshiji -tujhe bada darr lagta hai usse, daaru pee kar aayegi toh puja karega.
Ishita -i said sorry naa. She said with a baby face.
Toshiji -tell sorry to him not me. She said and both went downstairs.
Raman came back and saw toshiji serving her food while ishita was standing behind her.
Raman didn't said anything, just sat on his place and start eating.
Toshiji -ishita, maine khana serve kar diya hai, now I am going to pack his luggage. Tu yahin reh, Isse kuch chahiye hoga toh de dena. She said to which ishita nodded. Toshiji went upstairs leaving ishra there.
Raman look at ishita and said-no need to stand here,i will manage. U please go from here.
Ishita -aap gussa hain mujhse?? She asked slowly making Raman look at her.
Raman look around and said -u r talking to me??
Ishita nodded in yes.
Raman -aap, aaj subah subah pee li hai kya. Yaa phir koi aur nasha karne lagi ho. Seems u r high on weed today.
Ishita look at him and said -u can never talk to me nicely naa.she said and went from there with moist eyes. Though raman felt bad but then got busy in eating his food.
After having his food, he went to his room and saw toshiji and ishita talking.
Raman -yeh maa ko kya hua hai, she is so friendly with her. Jarur ishita ne kuch kiya hoga. May be koi dhamki. Ek baar main chala jaun, she will also go from this house. Kam se kam maa -papa toh sukoon se rahenge. He thought and went inside.
Toshiji saw him and said -teri packing kar di hai, puttar. Achche se jaana aur achche se rehna. Tu itni der ke liye jaa raha hai, don't know how we r going to stay without u. She said while her eyes got moist.
Raman hugged toshiji and said -why u r crying, maa. I will be back soon aur main tujhse baat bhi karta rahunga. He was saying and consoling toshiji while ishita's eyes too got moist thinking about him going.
After a while, toshiji went downstairs leaving Ishra, thinking they too need some lone time. Ishita was standing on the window looking at Raman with the core of his eyes. She was thinking that atleast he will come to say good bye. Raman was also looking at her thinking she will come but she was standing near the window looking outside.
Raman stood there for sometime and finally said -i am going. Saying so he turn to go when he felt a tug on his hand. He turn to her and before he can understand, she was hugging him tight.
She was hugging him tightly like trying to hide in him. She was sobbing silently and said meekly -mat jao.
Raman couldn't help but took his hand to her hair. He caressed her hair and she cried hugging him more tightly.
Ishita -mat jao naa, Raman.
Raman -i have to go.
Ishita look at him and cupped his face lovingly.
Ishita -please, don't go. I will be like the one u wanted. Please don't go. She said with moist eyes.
Raman looked away and said -i had to go, bahut jaruri hai mera jaana. He said while she was looking at him.
Though his heart was melting at her plea and want to stay back for her, but his mind was warning him again and again that it's her another way of trapping him. He break the hug but able to look into her eyes for long and said -i am getting late, I have to go.
Ishita hold his eyes again and before he could understand anything, she tip toed and took his lips in her. She wrapped her arms around him and start kissing him slowly.
Raman was shocked at first and even tried to break the kiss but couldn't, as for the first time he felt the intensity of her feelings. She was kissing him gently all lost in him. He too closed his eyes feeling good and let him lead. He didn't responded but didn't withdraw it either. They kissed for long, or say she kissed him for long and then broke the kiss in need of air.
They look at each other, Raman could feel her love for him for the first time. She hugged him again and said -have a good trip, jaldi aaiyega. I will be waiting for u. She said and tip toed again.she planted a soft kiss on his temple and let him go.
She left his hand, but he was still standing there not able to understand what happened with him and now what's happening with him. He wasn't able to take a step away from her. He was lost in his thoughts when his phone rang bringing him back .
He picked the phone and said -i am coming, saying so he start going out but turn to look at her. She was looking at him with hopeful eyes. His steps halted for a second but then he walked out.
Ishita ran to the window and saw him going. She couldn't see him going and ran to her bed crying. Raman look at his window to see her but she wasn't there. He sat in the car disappointed and went to airport.
On the other hand, ishita cried for long hugging the pillow and slept crying.
Raman reached the airport and soon he was in the aircraft going to Singapore but his mind was on the incident that happened .
Raman -for the first time, I felt that she really loves me. Ki uska pyaar, sach mein pyaar hai, zid nahi. That she is really in pain seeing me going, kya yeh sach hai. Yaa phir she is really a good actress to fool me. He was thinking when his fingers went on his swollen lips and he could feel her hot lips. She has tried to kiss him many times before but today he was feeling loved for the first time. Lost in her thoughts, he slept.
Soon he reached Singapore, then got settled in the flat given by the company. He thought of calling home but was too tired, so slept.
On the other hand, toshiji and ishita was anxiously waiting for Raman's call. Ishita was too sad and was sitting alone in her room, not talking to anyone when Toshiji came and took her to kitchen to divert Ishita's mind. At first, ishita wasn't in a mood to go but on toshiji's insistence she went.
Toshiji was teaching her to cook food while ishita was just looking at her with lost eyes.
Seeing her all lost Toshiji asked -ishita, tu sunn rahi hai??
Ishita was too lost to answer when toshini said again little louder -ishita puttar, r u listening, breaking Ishita's trance.
Ishita -huh, haan maa?? Kuch pucha aapne??
Toshiji -maine pucha, kahan khoyi hui hai??
Ishita hugged her and said -i am missing him maa, bhale hi gussa rehte the, but mere aas paas toh rehte the, I am missing him alot. Pata nahi woh mujhe miss bhi kar rahe honge yaa nahi. She said and before toshiji can say anything, her phone rang.
Toshiji smiled and said -tere pati ka hai, she said making ishita chuckle.
Toshiji picked the phone and said -haan puttar, kaisa hai tu?? She said smiling, while ishita was standing next to her all excited to hear him.
Raman -i am good ,maa. Aap kaisi ho, papa kaise hai?? Ishita aap dono ko pareshan nahi kar rahi hai naa?? He asked making ishita's face fell.
Toshiji-dont say like this, she was saying when Raman said -please don't cover up for her, maa. I know how she treat both of u. Mujhe yaad hai how she use to trouble u and papa. Woh har kisi ko bas pareshaan kar sakti hai. Aap usse uske ghar bhej dijiye. Atleast u will be at peace for sometime. Sirf issliye I came here, he was saying when Toshiji said -bahut yaad aa rahi hai uski??
Raman stopped hearing her, when she said -tu seedhe seedhe bhi puch sakta hai, ki woh kisi hai.
Raman took a deep breath and asked -kaisi hai woh, thik hai naa. Drink toh nahi kar rahi naa, he asked in a go making ishita smile.
Toshiji -nahi drink toh nahi kiya. Aur tu bata, ur work started.
Raman -it will start from tomorrow. woh ro rahi thi kya maa??
Toshiji -roye yaa hase, why u r worried. U don't love her naa, u told her to die.
Raman -maa, aap bhi jaante ho, I told that in anger. Warna aisa main kisi dushman ke liye bhi nahi kehta. Aur woh toh, he paused.
Toshiji -aur woh toh??
Raman -woh toh ishita hai, maa. Meri biwi. How can I pray for her death. He said making ishita smile fully.
Raman -bolo naa maa, was she really crying for me.
Toshiji -haan puttar, she was crying. Infact khana bhi nahi khaya usne thik se. She is really missing u.
Raman -aise kaise nahi kha rahi, u tell her to eat properly. I know woh kisi ki sunti nahi, but aap bolo shayad sunegi.
Toshiji -tu bolega toh jyada sunegi. Tu bol de.
Raman -main call karun usse??
Toshiji was about to say that ishita is here only but she stopped toshiji.
Toshiji -haan kar le, usse achcha lagega. Bol de ki pahunch gaya.
Raman -haan, itna toh bata hi sakta hoon. OK maa, I am calling her.
Toshiji -changa puttar, she said and hung the call.
Ishita hugged toshiji tightly and said -thank u maa, thank u so much. She was saying when her phone rang.
Toshiji-go, ussi ka phone hoga. She said happily and ishita ran to talk to Raman.
