PART 10

Raman was looking at Ishita who was walking into the hospital hurriedly and thought-kisse itni urgently milne aayi hai??shall I go and investigate.may be I can find something.no,it's not right to poke ur nose in someone's personal matter.waise bhi humne ab tak baat nahi ki hai .I don't want to leave a bad impression on him.meri ruhi ki zindagi aur hamara future uske haath mein hai.he thought and drive away.

On other hand,Ishita went and got busy in delivery.

Raman went back and saw ruhi having breakfast with his parent.he walked to them and ruhi look at him.he was about to smile but stopped seeing her mole.he looked away and said-maa,I am going out.mujhe kaam hai.he said making ruhi's face fell.she left her breakfast and went inside sadly.

Mr bhalla-sit down ,raman.we need to talk.

Raman -please papa,I don't wanna talk.

Toshiji-baat toh karni padegi,tu kyun ruhi ke saath iss tarah behave karta hai.she is ur daughter,she needs u,ur love.aur tujhe bhi toh zarurat hai naa uski.toh kuch Kar puttar,ki ruhi hamare paas rahe.go to her,try to talk to her.she wants ur love ,usse pyaar de apna.aur Kya socha tune Ishita ke baare mein.

Raman-i don't know,maa.shaadi phir se,I don't know.

Mr bhalla-will talk about it later,abhi tu jaa ruhi ke paas.he said and Raman walked towards her room.he was about to enter her room when he heard her saying,phone uthao aunty,luhi needs u.

Hearing her voice,he could guess that she is crying.his heart too cried hearing her voice but he was standing on the door only as he couldn't gather courage to go and face her.he stood there for sometime hearing her calling Ishita again and again and finally she ran to toshiji as Ishita didn't picked her phone.

Ruhi-dadi,main aunty ke ghar jaaun,she is not picking my phone.

Toshiji-may be she is busy.

Ruhi-woh luhi ke liye kabhi busy nahi hoti.woh meli best mumma hai ,aul mujhe wahin chahiye.she loves me alot,more then anyone can do.she said and ran to Iyer house.

Mr and Mrs bhalla look at Raman and said-i think u can see how much she is attached to Ishita.

Raman-why u let her do this .kyun ruhi ko itna attach hone diya kisi gair se.

Mr bhalla-gair??she loves ur ruhi more then u loves her.she care for ruhi ,she don't let her feel alone.woh ruhi ke liye woh sab karti hai joh tujhe karna chahiye.faisla le le ,raman.we want ruhi with us.he said and both went.

After half an hour ,Raman saw ruhi playing in her balcony.though Ishita wasn't there ,but ruhi was happy after talking to her.raman saw her smiling and smiled too.

Later in evening, Ishita entered her house and saw Ashok sitting while Amma was serving him coffee.

She made a dirty face and thought-now what he is doing here,God damn ,I am so pissed off with this shagun and her husband .itna koi pareshan karta hai Kya kisi ko,pata nahi yeh kitne paise offer karega.keh doon Kya,that I will not accept his offer coz I love raman.nahi nahi,he will die out of shock.she was lost in her thoughts when Amma said-ishu,see ur friend came to meet u,he was waiting for u since long.

Ishita look at him and said-friend??I don't know who is he??Kya Amma,kisi ko bhi baitha leti ho.aye Mr ,go from my house.she said pretending to be unknown to avoid unnecessary conversation.

Ashok-actually I want to talk to u ,bahut jaruri baat karni hai.

Ishita-listen Mr,I am very tired right now .u please go,I don't wanna talk.

Ashok-its really urgent aur aapke faayde ki baat hai.he was saying when Mr and Mrs bhalla came looking for ruhi.their expression changed seeing Ashok.

Toshiji-yeh wahiyat yahan Kya kar raha hai??

Amma-u know him,santoshi??

Toshiji-yahin toh hai,saari aafat ki jadh.he is shagun's husband.she said making Amma shocked.

Amma-i really don't know about this,or else,she was saying when Ashok said-let it be ,aunty.inn logon ki aadat hai ,problem create karne ki.listen miss Ishita,I have a offer for u.tum hamare favour mein statement de do,I will give u five times whatever Raman and his family is offering u.he said straightly making everyone shocked.

Amma-what r u saying,she was saying when Ishita said-get out.

Ashok look at her and was about to say something when Ishita shouted-get out,warna main police ko bulaungi.court mein tumhare khilaaf complain karungi that u wanted to bribe me.

Ashok-arey problem Kya hai,inke baare mein mat socho.they r losers,hamesha haare hai mujhse.ek statement ke liye bahut paise dunga.

Ishita-i said get out.

Ashok-ok,jaa raha hoon,don't shout.but think about it once.u will get a handsome amount for doing nothing.

Ishita-aap please jaiye,yahan se.and for God sake ,stop playing with a kid's life.woh khilona nahi hai,bachchi hai.

Ashok-par tumhari toh nahi hai.think again before taking any decision.he said and was going out.ishita went behind him to close the door when Ashok turned and said-waise itna pyaar kyun hai ruhi se,kahin issliye toh nahi kyunki tum baanjh ho.

Ishita look at him and slapped him hard.

Ashok-what the hell,how dare u slap me.

Ishita-i think u got ur answer,niklo yahan se.she said and closed the door.

Raman who has heard Ishita and ashok's conversation on the door start thinking-ashok too said what I said,phir Ishita ka reaction itna alag kyun tha .she should have slapped me too for insulting her,but woh rone lagi.aisa kyun Kiya,I have to know the reason,I have to talk to her.mujhe usse baat karni hogi,abhi.thinking so he went to her house and ring the bell.

Ishita-i think he came back,let me check.she said and went .

She was about to shout but stopped seeing raman.he could see the change in her reaction seeing him.

Ishita-raman,aap??she said making Raman think.

Raman-i hurt her still she talks to me with so much of respect.kyun aakhir,he was thinking when she said-kuch chahiye aapko??

Raman-i wanna talk to u ,now.come with me.he said holding her hand and took her downstairs.

Ishita was just going with him while he was taking her downstairs when they saw Ashok standing there.

Raman glared him and said -go and sit in the car.

Ishita just nodded and went to his car.

Ashok walked to Raman and said-i know what u r planning,but trust me.i won't let u do that.main tumse tumhari bachchi alag karke rahunga.pichli baar shagun cheeni thi ,iss baar ruhi.he said and was going when Raman turned him and punched him hard.

Raman punched him again and again and said-u won't be able to take my ruhi,samjha tu.u won't be able to snatch my ruhi.he was saying and punching Ashok when Ishita came running and said-raman chod dijiye usse,Raman please.

She was pleading but he was not listening when Ishita said-please Raman ,for ruhi.

Raman left him in anger and punched his car's glass in anger making him bleed.

Ishita hold his hand and said-yeh Kya Kiya,come with me.she said and took Raman with herself while Ashok look at shagun who was behind the bushes and asked-tumne thik se record Kiya naa??

Shagun-haan,sab record Kar liya,ab Kal yeh video court mein submit hoga ,ki dekhiye Raman kitna aggressive hai,ruhi ke liye bilkul thik nahi hai.issliye ruhi ki custody mujhe de di jaaye.she said and both laughed.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 26

Everyone was shocked hearing ishita's statement while she was standing in the witness box calmly waiting for everyone's reaction.

Raman was just looking at Ishita when shagun got up and said-she is lying,ur honour.she wasn't my doctor.meri doctor ka naam toh,

Ishita-dr Ruchika Mehta tha .she said looking at shagun.she nodded in yes and said-i told u naa,she is lying.raman tum batao court ko,ur damn wife is lying .

Raman get up and said-ishita,why u r lying.hume proof mil gaya hai,hum case jeet jayenge.

Ishita-u really think I am lying.

Raman-nahi,but shagun ki doctor ka naam sach mein Dr Ruchika mehra tha,and ur name is,

Ishita-dr Ishita Iyer,Dr Iyer,kuch yaad aaya .she said making Raman think.

Raman-i heard this name before,he said when judge said-can we hear the truth.

Ishita-sach wahin hai joh main keh rahi hoon.i was shagun's doctor ,though not in true sense but yes I was the one who delivered ruhi aur issliye yeh reports mere paas hai,kyunki main apne har pateint ki file apne paas rakhti hoon.let me tell everyone what happened that time .actually Mrs shagun ko complications ho gaye the aur the feotus wasn't growing.toh Dr Ruchika mehra ,joh inki doctor thi unhone Mrs shagun ko abortion suggest kiya tha and after much discussion to save Mrs shagun's life ,they opted for abortion.but kyunki woh case kaafi critical ho gaya tha,mujhe Dr Iyer,joh inki senior thi,mujhe yeh case mila tha to operate.i still remember that day,I was going to Mrs shagun's operation ,wearing my surgical mask and gloves when someone entered my room.i look at the person and asked who is he.he looked at me and said,please help me.i don't wanna loose my baby.i looked into him and he cried saying,it's my first baby ,please save him.i can't loose my baby.she said and then look at ruhi and said-u know woh kaun tha??

Ruhi nodded in no.

Ishita-he was ur papa,rooh.he was literally on my feet just to save his unborn baby .he was crying and pleading for help to save u.he loves u alot bachcha,u just can't believe that he don't love u.she said looking at ruhi while raman's eyes got filled remembering that time .

Ishita-seeing him crying,I can't go ahead.main jaanti nahi thi Raman ko,but the way he was weeping,I couldn't pick my instrument to kill his baby.toh apne personal risk par Maine Mrs shagun ka operation do din delay Kiya.unka case study Kiya aur medicine bhi change kiye.and with God grace ,it worked.mrs shagun bhi thik hone lagi aur unka baby bhi.toh abortion nahi karna pada,but yeh sach hai ki ruhi ki jaan agar main bacha paayi toh sirf Raman ki wajah se.yes he has signed those papers ,but he was dying inside thinking about his unborn baby.aur shayad unki takleef bhagwaan se bhi nahi dekhi gayi aur unhone mujhe jariya banaya ,ruhi ko bachane ke liye.she said smiling while everyone was looking at her,some with anger while other with appreciation.

Judge-so if the case is crystal clear ,I think I should,he was saying when Ishita said-aap aaj kuch faisla denge,Kal Mrs shagun kuch aur agenda le kar aa jaayengi ,toh aaj main kuch cheezein yahan clear karna chahti hoon,if u give me permission.

Judge-matlab??

Ishita-kuch cheezein hai joh kuch logon ko jaanni bahut zaruri hai,if u allow me,can I??she asked to which the judge nodded.

Ishita-thank u,first of all ur honour,Mrs shagun is playing with the law.court nahi jaanta tha but woh jaanti thi,that Raman did all this just to save her ,still she planned all this .yeh sab ghatiya khel khela.thodi si toh insaniyat rakhti ,shagun ,ki Raman ne joh bhi Kiya tha tumhe bachane ke liye Kiya tha.apne iss khel mein tumne ruhi ko bhi nahi choda.tumne kabhi ruhi se pyaar nahi Kiya,yeh baat toh tumne usse chod kar saabit Kar di thi,but ab uske dimaag mein uske papa ke liye yeh nafrat daal kar,u r proving urself to be the worst mother anyone can have .if u can't love her,just let her live with someone who love her.kyun uski zindagi apne jhoothe ego ke liye barbaad karna chahti hai.she is living happily with us,let her be.tum bhi apne Ghar mein khush raho.iss tarah court case karke tum sirf ruhi se aur dur hoti jaogi and kuch nahi milega tumhe.she said and then turned to ruhi.

Ishita-ruhi, today I am going to tell u something,joh tumhare papa yaa koi tumhe kabhi nahi batayega ,but u should know . har maa apne bachche ko duniya mein laane ke liye struggle karti hai but u should also know about ur father's struggle to bring u in this world. I know everyone says that a mother gives birth to a baby,but in ur case it was ur father who gave u this life.tum bhale hi shagun ke ander thi,but it was ur father who struggled most to bring u in this world.she said while Raman look at her to stop.

Ishita-nahi Raman,ruhi ko pata hona chahiye,taaki woh agli baar aapke pyaar par shaq naa Kar sake.u know betu,ur father wasnot a big shot that time,but still he admitted ur mother in one of the most expensive hospital of Mumbai that time,kyunki shagun ne kaha tha ki agar apna bachcha chahte ho,toh mujhe yahin treatment karwana hai .she said and Raman look at her thinking how she knew all this.

Like she read his expression,she said-the first day ,shagun was bought in the hospital .I was the one to treat her.i checked her and was going when I heard her saying,though it was unintentional but I got to know that shagun want to get treated in that hospital because of the lovely room and facilities she will get there.as I was a senior doctor,Meri fees jyada thi,so they went for my junior ,but as I was senior,I usually check shagun whenever it was needed.toh shagun ki demand par,or I should say uske threat par,ur father continued her treatment in that hospital,jiski monthly expenses unki salary se shayad chaar yaa paanch guna jyada thi.and to meet those expenses,he use to work day and night .I remember we use to see him working on his laptop sitting in the corridors all night while shagun sleeps comfortably in those ac rooms .hum sabko bura lagta tha Raman ke liye,our compounders even use to tell him to go to another hospitals.even we suggested few,which they can afford ,but she never considered those hospitals as they were not that luxurious.actually that hospital wasn't a hospital for her,but a way to live a luxurious life and for that she was torturing her husband in the name of their unborn baby.and u know ,what was the worst thing in between all this.ashok Khanna,raman's boss use to meet shagun everyday.woh Roz Raman ko kaam mein busy karke apna pura din shagun ke saath hospital mein spend karta tha .yeh baat main nahi jaanti thi,yaa keh rahi hoon.whole hospital knew about it.she said and his parent look at shagun with disgust.

Ishita-aapne nahi dekha ,betu.infact kisi ne nahi dekha,not even his parent,but we ,the hospital staff has seen ur father's struggle to bring u in this world.shagun ki har jaayaz naajayaz maang puri ki hai unhone,just to keep u alive,mehenge hospital bills se le kar diamond ring tak,har demand puri ki,taaki woh aapko maar naa daale .toh please agli baar kabhi mat sochna yaa kehna ki papa tumhe pyaar nahi karte .he love u the most and can go to any extent for u.even yesterday also,he went to her,crying and pleading to let him keep u.he really loves u alot.duniya mein kisi ka bhi dil dukha dena,even u r allowed to hurt me also,but not him.coz he is very weak when it comes to u ,can't take the pain .I know unhone kabhi kaha nahi tumhe,yaa shayad bata nahi paaye,but I know and u should also know,ur papa loves u alot and can do anything for u.she said and wiped her tear before it fall while ruhi look at Raman,whose eyes were also filled.she ran to him and hugged him tight .Raman too hugged ruhi tight and she said-i am sorry,papa .ruhi se galti ho gayi .

Raman kissed her temple and said-its ok bachcha.papa loves u too.

Ishita smiled seeing ruman together and said looking at the judge-at last I can only say that noone can love ruhi the way Raman does,please ruhi ki permanent custudy unhe de dijiye .we promise to always keep her healthy and happy in every manner .

Judge-after listening the whole truth,I can feel Dr bhalla's words that noone can love miss ruhi bhalla more then her father and it will be a crime if we separate the kid from her loving and doting father,so the court is giving the permanent custudy of miss ruhi bhalla to her father Mr Raman bhalla.and no further case will be entertained on it.the court is adjourned for the day.he said and went out .

Slowly everyone got up and start going out while Raman was just standing and looking at Ishita .she walked to him slowly and asked him-ruhi ki permanent custudy aapko mil gayi,ab meri jarurat nahi rahi aapko .mujhe apni zindagi se nikalenge toh nahi naa??she asked and he just hugged her tight without answering her and burst into tears.

His parent cried seeing their son crying while ashgun were standing in the corner looking at ishra.

Ishita -hey Raman,stop crying .ab kyun ro rahen hai.stop crying,ruhi chup karao papa ko .she was saying when she heard him saying,thank u Ishita.

Ishita-for what,Maine sirf sach bola hai ,Raman .not even a word for wrong.and stop crying like a baby,aap toh bahut khadoos ho naa,mere raavan kumar.aur raavan Kumar aise nahi rote.she said wiping his tears with her thumb.

Raman look at her and she signalled him to smile .he smiled a little and said-ab kaisa raavan kumar.i am feeling naked,kuch hai hi nahi joh tum nahi jaanti,u know me inside out.

Ishita-achcha hai naa,life partner aise hi hone chahiye.she said and hugged him again ,he wrapped his arms around her when ruhi too ran into them and hugged ishra tight.

Ishra picked ruhi in their arms and pecked her cheeks while she smiled fully getting her parent love.

Toshiji came and kissed ishita's forehead and said-thank u puttar ji.

Ishita-kis liye mummy ji.yeh mera parivaar hai aur mujhe pura haq hai iska khayal rakhne ka,isse buri nazar se bachane ka.she said looking at shagun when Mr bhalla said-chalo Ghar chalte hai.

Everyone nodded and was going when Ishita said-aap log chaliye,main aati hoon.saying so she went to shagun and said-kaha tha naa,kuch Kiya toh tumhe tumhari aukaat bata dungi .aaj duniya ke saamne tumhari aukaat dikha di .aainda mere raaste mein mat aana,aur Meri family se dur rehna .mere pati aur Meri bachchi se dur rehna ,warna anjaam isse bhi jyada bura hoga .she said and was going when shagun said-kitni bewakoof ho tum Ishita, woh aadmi joh tumhari fees afford nahi kar sakta tha,usse Shaadi kar li.couldnt u find someone better.

Ishita turn to her and said-agar Raman ka hone ke liye mujhe bewakoof banna pade toh main bahut Khushi Khushi bewakoof banna accept Kar lungi,par sach toh yeh hai ,ki bewakoof main nahi tum ho.tumhe Ashok ki property mein apna treasure dikha ,jab ki mujhe Raman mein.aur main apne issi treasure mein bahut khush hoon.she said and walked out while Raman who was standing behind the door listening to the convo got pleasantly surprised hearing ishita's words.

He smiled hearing her words when ruhi called him.he walked to the car and soon they were going home .

Soon they reached their house and Ishita was going inside when toshiji stopped her .she went inside and brought the aarti thaal .she put tika on ishita's forehead and said-aaj sahi maayne mein main apne Ghar ki roshni ko Ghar laa rahi hoon.she said and welcomed Ishita inside.

Toshiji made her sit and said-thank u puttar ji.sirf aaj ke liye nahi,balki hamesha ke liye,tere har help ke liye thank u.tune naa sirf ruhi ki jaan bachayi balki har tareeke se mere bachche ko help kiya.teri hi wajah se aaj hum jaan paaye ki Raman ne kitna kuch saha hai akele.teri wajah se,hamari ruhi aaj hamare saath hai,warna hum toh usse paida hone se pehle hi kho dete.

Ishita-aap aisa kyun keh rahi hai ,mummy ji.main toh jariya thi,bachaya toh bhagwaan ji ne tha.she was saying when Ruhi asked-achcha mumma,aapne mujhe pehli baar haath mein liya tha,jab main paida hui thi??

Ishita smiled and said-yes baby,I was the one who held u for the first time.aapko pata hai aapki dhadkan bhi pehli baar Maine suni thi.pata nahi kaise but har baar aapki doctor absent rehti thi and I could get chance to do ur first.aapki dhadkan bhi Maine suni thi,aapko iss duniya mein laayi bhi main thi.u know ur papa was just so happy hearing ur heartbeat for the first time,bas Khushi se roye nahi the,warna bahut khush the.

Ruhi look at Raman and said-papa,aap mumma se itni baar mile the,mujhe bataya kyun nahi.

Ishita-kyunki tumhare papa ko main yaad nahi thi.

Ruhi-aap kitne buddhu ho ,papa.meri itni sundar mumma ko kaise bhool gaye .

Ishita-buddhu toh tumhare papa hai,but mumma generally apna mask lagaye rehti thi naa,issliye shayad tumhare papa pehchaan nahi paaye mujhe.

Ruhi-achcha mumma,aur batao,aur aapne Kya Kya Kiya mere liye.

Ishita smiled hearing her question and said-aapka naam Maine rakha tha.

Ruhi smiled hearing her and said-sachchi mumma.

Ishita smiled remembering that time and said-yes,that night was very bad for me.uss din mujhe Meri medical report mili thi,just before I went inside the labour room.bahut disturbed thi main aur dukhi bhi,kyunki uss din mujhe pata chala tha main kabhi maa nahi ban sakti.after ur birth I was sitting sadly in my room looking into my medical report ,thinking about the emptiness I will feel whole life,when ur papa entered my cabin and consoled me.unhone mujhse kaha ki jab main itne saare bachchon ko Zindagi de sakti hoon,toh phir main unki maa hi toh hui.and then ur papa give u in my lap and give me the right to name u .I always wanted to name my girl,ruhi,toh Maine tumhara naam ruhi rakha.and I am really thankful to ur papa,that he really keep it as ur name .toh uss din ,jis din mujhe pata chala tha ki main maa nahi ban paaungi, tumhare papa ne mujhe tumhari mumma bana diya tha.and from that day,I never felt bad about my disability,kyunki jab bhi koi mujhe kehta that I can't be a mother,all I could think ,main toh already mumma hoon ,apni choti si ruhi ki,joh kahin apne parent ke saath Khushi Khushi reh rahi hogi .she said smiling while ruhi and bhallas were smiling continuously listening to her talks.

Raman-aaj mujhe samajh mein aaya ,ki tum kyun uss din aise royi thi,jab Maine tumhe baanjh kaha tha aur why u said so,that u never expected this from me.sahi hai,jisne kabhi zakhm par marham lagaya tha,jab wahin dard de,toh takleef jyada hoti hai.i am sorry Ishita,really sorry again.he thought looking at Ishita while she was lost in talking to ruhi .

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 15

Raman was holding Ishita tight and said-bolo mujhe,tumne kyun Shaadi ki mujhse,he asked again while she was just thinking what to answer him.

Ishita-i think I should tell him the truth,waise bhi Raman ko haq hai sach jaanne ka .she thought and closed her eyes to compose herself before telling him the biggest truth of her life when his phone rang .

He turned and saw his boss calling him.he left Ishita and went to check the phone .he picked it and went to the balcony talking with him while Ishita close her eyes and said-phir nahi bol paayi main,itni mehnat se himmat jutai thi unhe sach batane ke liye,but couldn't tell him.shayad thik hi hua,may be he should know me a little,consider our relationship a little before knowing the truth.i think mujhe thoda waqt dena chahiye Raman ko aur apna muh thoda bandh rakhna chahiye.she thought and went out of the room before Raman can come and ask her again.

Raman came after half an hour and got busy in making presentation forgetting about his convo with Ishita.

On the other hand,Ishita was sitting with ruhi helping her in her homework.

Ishita-its over beta.she said smiling making ruhi smile too.

Ruhi-thank u mumma,aap toh best ho.

Ishita kissed ruhi's temple and make her sit in her lap .ruhi kept her head on ishita's arms and said-thank u mumma.

Ishita-for what bachcha??

Ruhi-ruhi ki mumma banne ke liye,ruhi loves u alot.

Ishita -mumma too loves u alot,she said caressing ruhi's hair.

Ruhi-mumma,bhookh lagi hai .

Ishita-achcha main dekhti hoon ,Kya bana hai.she said and went to check .

Toshiji was making food along with neelu.

Ishita-main help karun,mummy ji??

Toshiji-nahi puttar ,aaj nahi.kal se karna.tu kyun aayi yahan??

Ishita-ruhi ko bhookh lagi hai.

Toshiji-bas ho gaya,tu ruhi aur Raman ko bula lein.

Ishita nodded and went to call ruman.she first went to raman's room to call him for dinner but stopped seeing him busy in his work.she stood at the door and start admiring him,he was working on his laptop wearing his spects.

Ishita-raman pehle se aur achche lagne lage hai.ekdum handsome hunk and this handsome hunk belongs to me.she said blushing.

She was standing there when she heard,why u r standing here??

Ishita turned and saw ruhi standing with a confused face.

Ruhi-why u r standing here ,mumma ??

Ishita-kuch nahi ,betu.aap jao aapko dadi bula rahi hai.actually aap jao papa ko bula Kar lao dinner ke liye,main jaa Kar dadi ki help karti hoon.she said and went to toshiji while ruhi went to call Raman.

Soon everyone settled on the dining table and neelu start serving.

Ruhi look around and asked-mumma Kahan hai??

Toshiji-she went to check on her parent ,actually apne appa ko medicine dene gayi hai.

Raman-maa,can I ask u something ??

Toshiji-puch puttar.

Raman-jab Ishita ka Ghar saamne hi hai toh aapne usse kapde laane se mana kyun Kiya and why u r forcing me to go and shop clothes with her.

Toshiji look at him and asked-kyun,tujhe problem hai uske upar paise kharch karne mein??

Raman-u know it's not like this,I just want to know the reason.i mean it's weird,uska Ghar bagal mein hai aur aap tab bhi usse kapde laane allow nahi kar rahi.

Toshiji-agar uska Ghar saamne nahi hota toh??toh jaata tu shopping uske saath.

Raman-matlab??

Toshiji-raman,it's not about uska Ghar Kahan hai,it's about she is now our daughter in law.iss Ghar ki bahu hai woh.uski Shaadi itni jaldi mein hui,hum kuch nahi le sake uske liye.aur ab usse kahe ki apne Ghar se apne purane kapde laa kar pehne.achcha lagta hai.puttar tune Shaadi ruhi ke liye ki hai,but for her,it's her first marriage .she is a bride and we should make her feel that.samajh raha hai tu??

Raman-dont know,it's pretty complicated.

Toshiji-toh khote de puttar itna samajh le,ki Ishita ab teri biwi hai ,teri responsibility and u have to go with her tomorrow to shop new clothes for her aur sirf kapde nahi ,ring bhi khareed lena aur kuch jewellery bhi,daily wear ke liye .Meri bahu bahut sundar hai and it's ur responsibility to make her look beautiful always.samjha.she said to which Raman nodded his head.

Ruhi-main jaa kar check kar aaun,mumma abhi tak aayi nahi,she was saying when Ishita said with her hand bag and said-sorry mummy ji,emergency hai.mujhe hospital jaana hoga .

Toshiji-khana toh kha le??

Ishita-nahi mummy ji,time nahi hai.had to rush.she said and went to ruhi.she kissed her temple and said-sorry rooh,mumma has to go.aap papa se story sunn lena aaj.

Ruhi-ok mumma,kuch kha lena.bhookhe mat rehna warna pet gudgud karega.she said cutely making everyone smile.

Ishita-ok bachcha,she said and was going when Mr bhalla said-main chalun drop kar doon??

Ishita-nahi papa ji,I will manage .mujhe aadat hai.saying so she was going when Raman said-ishita,i am done,main chalta hoon.he said making Ishita stop in mid .

She turn to confirm what she heard when he said-its not safe going out at this hour,main chalta hoon.he said while she was just looking at him.

Raman-what??

Ishita-r u sure,I mean u must be having work.

Raman-that I know,u just wait for me .waise bhi tumhari khatara gaadi pata nahi kahan dhokha de de. He went saying making Ishita smile.

Ishita-khadoos raavan Kumar,help bhi karenge toh attitude mein .she went saying smiling while his parent were happy seeing Raman changing bit by bit .

Soon ishra were on the way to hospital ,Ishita was sipping water in between while talking on her phone telling her assistant for making necessary arrangements.

Ishita was talking when Raman stopped the car.

Ishita-what happened??

Raman showed her the red signal and Ishita continued talking.

Raman look around and said getting off the car-i am coming in a minute.

Ishita-arey ,signal on ho jaayega,she was saying but he went fastly.

Ishita was talking on phone looking around when he came and said-yeh lo.

Ishita look at the burger and then him with questioning eyes.

Raman-what,u were hungry naa,kha lo.

Ishita took it from him and he start driving when signal went green.

Seeing her not eating,he took the phone and hung it.

Ishita-raman,I was talking.

Raman-have ur burger first,pateint ko treat karne se pehle doctor ko thik hona chahiye.he said and she start eating smiling.

Raman look at her and said-can I share something ,tumhe bura toh nahi lagega ??

Ishita-nahi,Kya??

Raman-today's incident remind me of same incident happened six years ago.that time shagun was pregnant with ruhi and we were in Mumbai.wahan ek bahut bada hospital tha,Jahan uska treatment ho raha tha.one day I was going to her making food for her when lift got stuck .lift mein ek doctor thi,woh shayad canteen mein kuch khaane jaa rahi thi ,she had few back to back operations .he said making Ishita smile that he too remember the incident.

Ishita-phir Kya hua??

Raman-she was cribbing that now she had to go without eating,so I offered him the lunch I made for shagun.i was reluctant as the food wasn't of her standard,ab kitna achcha bana paaunga,but I thought to offer her .she had that food and went thanking me.usse dekh kar lagaa hi nahi ki itne bade hospital ki koi itni badi doctor hai,she was simple and down to earth.

Ishita-yeh aapko kaise pata??

Raman-aise hi ,dekh kar lagta hai kuch logon ko .infact kabhi kabhi tumhe dekh kar uss doctor ki yaad aa jaati hai .she look similar to u,bas patli thi tumse and yes her hair was also short.saree bhi nahi pehanti thi.

Ishita-was she pretty??

Raman-jealous??

Ishita-nahi,why would I??just asking.

Raman-i was married ,so wasn't allowed to check on her ,but she was pretty.fair ,charming face,sweet voice and smiling always.i rarely met her as she was shagun's doctor's senior.but I found her looking at me sometimes,I think main usse handsome lagta tha .waise main toh hoon hi handsome ,koi bhi mujh par lattu ho sakta hai .he said smiling.

Ishita-kuch bhi,naam yaad hai.

Raman-kyun,case karogi ki mere pati par dore daal rahi thi.

Ishita-not really,just asking.whats her name ??

Raman-dont remember,Punjabi thi shayad,yaa shayad bengali,pata nahi ,yaad nahi .he was telling when he said-and we reach.

Ishita look at the hospital and said-thank u Raman,for dropping me.ab aap jaiye.

Raman-wapas kaise aaogi ,udd kar.main wait karta hoon.

Ishita-nahi ,mujhe time lagega.i will manage.

Raman-i can wa,he was telling when Ishita said-ruhi must be waiting for u,she is very excited to sleep with u .u please go home,mujhe shayad puri raat lag jaaye.

Raman-ok,then take care.and don't call me if u need any help .he said and Ishita look at him all confused.

Raman smiled and said-just kidding,call me if u need any help.bye,he said and went back while Ishita went inside smiling thinking Raman too remember her though not fully but partially .

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 3

Raman-iss baar main shagun ko uske mann ki karne nahi dunga .I will not let her snatch my daughter,my ruhi .main aa raha hoon.he said and hung the call angrily while toshiji started crying .

Mr bhalla-kya hua,ab toh woh wapas aa raha hai.

Toshiji-i always wanted him to come back ,but not like this.usse phir uss kamini ko dekhna padega.he will be hurt again seeing that bitch with that Ashok.woh dono chale kyun nahi jaate hai mere Raman puttar ki zindagi se.

Mr bhalla-i don't know what to answer,bas itna kahunga ki matarani sab thik kar de,kuch aisa kar de ki ruhi bhi hamare paas rahe aur Raman bhi hamesha ke liye yahin reh jaaye.i don't want him to go back again and live alone.waise bhi it's long since ruhi is living without her father.

Toshiji-haan matarani kuch chamatkaar kar de aur sab thik ho jaaye.

Mr bhalla-ek kaam karta hoon,jab tak Raman aata hai ,main lawyer se mil leta hoon aur dekhta hoon kitne chances hai shagun ke jeetne ke.

Toshiji-uss kamini ka koi chance nahi hona chahiye ,she left my child when she was just fifteen days old.

Mr bhalla-phir bhi ,she is ruhi's mother.hume pata rehna chahiye ki ruhi ka uske paas jaane ka koi chance na ho.saying so he went out.

After an hour,Ishita was coming back from clinic when she saw ruhi was sitting on the stairs and sobbing.

Ishita went to her and asked-what happened,betu.why u r crying??

Ruhi look at Ishita and said hugging her tight-i don't wanna go,aunty.mujhe nahi jaana,please mujhe bacha lo.she said hiding herself in ishita's arms.

Ishita lovingly caressed her hair,she always loved how ruhi cuddle into her.she too hugged ruhi tight and asked-kahan nahi jaana,babu??

Ruhi-mumma ke pass,I don't wanna go to her.

Ishita-mumma ke paas??

Ruhi-yes,Maine suna dadu keh rahe the,Meri mumma ne court mein kaha hai that she wants me ,aur court mujhe unko de dengi.aisa hota hai Kya aunty??

Ishita-aisa hota toh hai,but court aapse bhi aapki choice puchega ,toh aapko jiske saath rehna hoga,aap bata dena court ko.

Ruhi got happy and said-phir court mujhe uske saath rehne dega??

Ishita smiled and said -yes.

Ruhi got happy hearing this and start clapping .Ishita smiled seeing her smiling but deep down she was very worried that what if ruhi really had to go with her mom.

Ruhi went happily to play while Ishita sat on the stairs .

Ishita-kya ruhi bhi chali jayegi mujhe chod kar.itne din baad koi aisa mila tha ,jisse mere saath rehne mein Khushi hoti thi,who is not at all bothered with the fact that I can't be a mother.the one who love me,the one whom I love.kya woh bhi chali jayegi mujhe chod kar.kyun har koi chala jaata hai mujhe chod kar,Kya mujhe kisi se pyaar karne ka ,uska pyaar paane ka haq nahi hai .she thought all sad.

Ishita was sitting thinking about ruhi and thought-kya ab bhi ruhi ke papa nahi aayenge.ab toh unhe aana chahiye ruhi ko bachane ko.yaa phir shayad woh bhi aisa chahte ho .I just don't know what to think,aunty ji se puchun Kya,haan unse puchti hoon.she thought and went to bhalla house.she knocked the door and toshiji said-its open.

Ishita went inside and saw toshiji sitting tying a cloth on her head.

Ishita-kya hua aunty,sar dard kar raha hai??

Toshiji-haan puttar,bahut.

Ishita-main dabba doon,she asked to which toshiji nodded.

Ishita start pressing toshiji's forehead while she closed her eyes feeling good.

After sometime,toshiji-bas ab thik hai ,puttar.thank u very much.baith mere paas.

Ishita sat next to her and toshiji asked-tu abhi aayi clinic se??

Ishita nodded in yes.

Toshiji-ghar nahi gayi,seedhe yahin aa gayi.she asked seeing ishita's bag.

Ishita-actually main ruhi se mili thi,she was crying as she don't wanna go to her mother.usne bataya uski mother ne court case Kiya hai.

Toshiji-ruhi puttar ko pata chal gaya. Haaye meri bachchi ,she must be crying.i need to go and console her .saying so she was going when Ishita said-maine samjha diya hai usse,she is playing now.

Toshiji-thank u puttar ji.tu hi toh hai toh usse sambhal leti hai.

Ishita-uski mother ne sach mein case Kiya hai??

Toshiji-haan puttar,pata nahi Kya samjhti hai khud ko.pehle mere puttar ko chod kar chali gayi .Mera Ghar barbaad kar diya and now when my son is excelling in his career ,she want to do this to disturb him.usse koi pyaar nahi hai ruhi se,she just want to trouble my son.

Ishita-aapne bataya ruhi ke papa ko,is he coming??

Toshiji-yes,I informed him .he is coming,woh kabhi nahi chodega apni bachchi ko ,he loves ruhi alot.

Ishita didn't answered anything ,seeing her all silent toshiji said-i know u must be thinking that he never come to see ruhi,even never talks to her,then how can he love her.tera sochna sahi hai but he wasn't like this before.that bitch killed his every emotion.woh bata nahi paata but he loves ruhi alot.uski jaan hai ruhi.

Toshiji-hum ruhi puttar ko kabhi uss kamini ke paas nahi jaane denge.u don't know Ishita,what she did to my son and his daughter.choti si thi Meri bachchi,15 din ki,usse chod kar chali gayi thi .mere bachche ka Ghar tod kar chali gayi thi,woh bhi kyun,kyunki woh kam kamata tha.bhale uski income kitni bhi kam thi,Ishita,usne saare shauq pure kiye uss churail ke,but still she went leaving my son.uska Ghar tod kar ,uska Dil tod kar chali gayi woh .she said crying making Ishita remember someone.

Ishita-main bhi jaanti thi kisi aise ko ,aunty ji.kuch logon ke liye pyaar kabhi pura nahi hota .koi insaan unse kitna pyaar karta hai,they r not at all concerned about it.all they want is luxury and money.

Toshiji-ekdum waisi hi thi woh.i will never let her take my ruhi.woh Meri bachchi hai,I have been looking after her from last five years.main usse Meri bachchi nahi lene dungi ,she was saying when they heard,it's not going to be easy.

Both the ladies turn and saw Mr bhalla standing.

Ishita get up and said-namaste uncle.

Mr bhalla-namaste beta .

Toshiji-kya Matlab hai iska,she asked when Ishita said-aap dono baithiye,main chalti hoon.koi zarurat hogi toh mujhe bula lijiyega.aunty,if u don't feel like making anything.just give me a call .main bana dungi.aap apna khayal rakhiyega .saying so Ishita went out of their house giving them privacy.

Mr bhalla walks in and settle next to toshiji and said-yeh asaan nahi hoga.usne Shaadi kar li hai ,now she can give ruhi a father,while Raman is alone.he can't give ruhi a mother.

Toshiji-agar yeh baat hai toh hum Raman ki Shaadi kara dete hai,yeh kaun si baat hui.shaadi kar li toh achchi maa ban jayegi kya??

Mr bhalla-kuch bhi bolte ho toshiji ,itni jaldi ladki Kahan se aayegi aur Kya Raman Shaadi karna chahega.moreover ruhi must like that girl.

Toshiji-ruhi ko toh Ashok bhi nahi pasand.

Mr bhalla-phir bhi court privilege maa ko deti hai.aur Raman bhi toh itne saalon se baahar reh raha hai.ruhi is living with us,they will take advantage of this.shagun will surely ask a chance to look after ruhi aur shayad usse mil bhi jaaye.

Toshiji-dont say like this,main abhi Raman ko phone karti hoon,usse Shaadi ke liye ready karti hoon.phir hum uske liye ladki khojte hai .Kal jab woh aayega ,uski Shaadi karwa dete hai.

Mr bhalla-itni jaldi ladki Kahan milegi ,aisi joh achchi ho,Raman ki biwi aur ruhi ki maa ban sake.unki bikhri Zindagi sanwaar sake.pehle Raman ko aa jaane do and then let him decide.ho sakta hai,koi ho uski Zindagi mein.

Toshiji nodded and both talk for late.

The day passed in jiffy,next day ,bhallas were waiting for Raman but he didn't showed up,so they called him only to know all routes r closed due to continuous rain.

Toshiji got worried hearing this and said-tu kab tak aa paayega??

Raman-dont know maa.sab flight cancel hai,train bhi cancelled hai.

Toshiji-do din baad date hai,tu nahi pahuncha toh bahut problem ho jayegi.

Raman-i know maa,and I am trying.he said and his phone got disconnected.

Mr and Mrs bhalla got worried and talk to their lawyer to postpone the date but he denied saying it will leave bad impression.seeing no option they start waiting praying for the best.

Two days passed in jiffy,they couldn't contact Raman .

In the morning,toshiji and Mr bhalla was going to court with ruhi when iyers met them and asked about ruhi's father.

Toshiji told them everything and said-i am very worried,kahin woh iss baat ka faayda utha kar aaj hi custody case naa jeet jaaye.

Ishita-kuch bura nahi hoga,aunty.think positive.

Toshiji-tu chalegi,puttar.tu rahegi toh mujhe hausla rahega.she said almost pleading.

Ishita-ji aunty,if u want main chalti hoon.

Toshiji-thank u puttar ji.she said and Ishita went to court with bhallas.

They reached the court and soon the proceedings started.shagun came with Ashok and their lawyer while bhallas were sitting with their lawyer.

Shagun smirked seeing Raman not present in the court while Ishita was just looking at shagun like trying to remember her.

Ishita-kahan dekha hai isse,she is looking so familiar.she was thinking when the proceedings started making her busy in that .

Judge-this is heights of irresponsibility,her father didn't appeared for the hearing,it means he is not interested in keeping their daughter with himself.

Bhalla's lawyer-its not like that,he is stuck badly in mumbai.mumbai ki haalat sab jaante hai .please give us another date .

Judge-oh ,ok.i think another date can be given.she was saying when shagun's lawyer said-for what ur honour,her father is not here since long.and he is not going to come,he was saying when Raman entered the court running and said,I am here ur honour.

Everybody turned and saw a man in three piece suit ,sweating badly .

Ishita look at him to like trying to recognize him when he said-ruhi's father,Raman Kumar bhalla is here .

Ishita got shocked hearing him,she look at him more thoroughly and next moment she smiled fully.

Ishita-yeh Raman hai,yeh toh raman hai.yeh mere raman hai.but he is here,as ruhi's father .Matlab ruhi inki beti,woh beti.omg my god,she is my baby ,I delivered her.omg ruhi is my bachcha.she thought smiling not able to believe her eyes while Raman was just standing there trying to compose himself.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 13

Ishra were sitting together when Raman said-kitni gaudy saree pehni hai,can't u wear something sober??he said making a face .

Ishita look at him and said-i think u r forgetting,it's our marriage.humne Shaadi ki hai abhi abhi,aur main dulhan hoon.

Raman-haan toh,main bhi dulha hoon,but I am not wearing any gaudy sherwani .formals pehne hai,tum bhi pehan sakti thi simple saree.

Ishita-nahi,I wanted to wear this .koi problem hai aapko,agar hai toh it's totally ur problem not mine.she said and look away murmuring,raavan Kumar.

Raman made a dirty face and said-pagal madrasan .

Ishita smiled hearing him and said-i heard that .

Raman-toh Kya,main darta nahi tumse.pagal gaudy madrasan.he said with attitude.

Ishita looked away smiling and thought,mere raavan kumar.

Soon they reached home and ishra were standing on the door.

Raman -maa,is it all necessary.he asked in an irritated voice.

Toshiji came with a thaal and said-chup kar khote da puttar.meri bahu aayi hai,uska welcome nahi karungi .

Ruhi-aur Mera welcome ,dadi.

Toshiji-haan puttar,tera bhi.tere mummy -papa ke saath.she said and did their aarti .she put tika on their foreheads and told Ishita to come inside pushing the vessel inside.

Ishita obliged and entered the house pushing the rice vessel.

Ishita took blessing from her in laws while Raman went inside getting irritated by all the rituals .

Toshiji made Ishita sit and make her wear chooda.

Toshiji-u have to wear this for one and half month .tu pehengi naa??

Ishita nodded smiling and toshiji kissed her temple softly .

Toshiji-thank u matarani,itni achchi kudi mere Raman ko dene ke liye.she said making Ishita smile and she thought-thank u to u too murugan,Mera aisa sapna pura karne ke liye ,jiske pura hone ka sapna dekhne ki bhi himmat nahi thi.aaj main sach much Raman ki wife ban gayi.jisse mohabbat ki unki ho gayi.i know unhone mujhse Shaadi sirf ruhi ke liye ki hai,but Maine toh apne liye bhi ki hai ,for the love I have for him.mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye .mujhe zindagi bhar unhe pyaar karne ka adhikaar mil gaya ,now I don't want anything ,unke pyaar ki bhi zarurat nahi.mera pyaar hum dono ke liye kaafi hai.she was thinking when ruhi came and said-mumma,chalo ruhi ka kamra dekho.ruhi ne sajaya hai aapke liye.

Toshiji smiled and said-jaa puttar,ruhi ke saath.main khane ka intezaam karti hoon.

Ishita-main bhi chalun,mummy ji??

Toshiji-nahi puttar,abhi nahi .tujhe hi sambhalna hai sab kuch,but not now .

Ishita nodded and went with ruhi.ruhi was happily showing her room and Ishita was also loving being with her.

Ruhi-mumma,ab aaj roz mujhe school ke liye ready karengi naa??

Ishita-haan beta.

Ruhi-and will always love me naa.

Ishita-haan babu,ab tum thoda rest kar lo.tum bahut jaldi uthi thi naa aaj.

Ruhi-dont feel like resting.

Ishita-come,mumma aapko sulayengi.she said and start patting ruhi.soon she slept as she was really tired with all the happenings.

Ishita softly kissed her temple and said-thank u babu,because of u I got something which is really previous for me.i got ur papa and my first love, actually my only love.she said and smiled.

She sat there for long and finally came out .she wanted to go to raman's room but not understanding how to go.she was feeling awkward when toshiji said-kuch chahiye ,puttar??

Ishita-nahi,just wanted to go home.actually kuch kapde nahi hai mere paas,I wanted to change into something more comfortable.

Toshiji-tu room mein jaa,main sab kuch arrange kar rahi hoon.

Ishita-ruhi ke??she asked slowly.

Toshiji-nahi,apne aur Raman ke.woh room hai uska.she said showing Ishita the room.

Ishita nodded and walked slowly towards his room.her heart is beating very fast of some unknown fear.she stop for a while and took a deep breathe.

Ishita-finally u r going where u belongs to.raman ke paas.she said and went towards his room.

Ishita walked into raman's room and saw him doing packing.

Ishita-what u r doing??

Raman-tum mere room mein bina knock kiye kyun aayi??he said making her startled by his question but she composed herself and asked-thats not the answer to my question,I asked where u r going??

Raman-mumbai,Mera project incomplete hai.

Ishita-aap wapas jaa rahen hai??

Raman-haan,had to go.i work there.main aata rahunga ruhi se milne and thank u very much for ur help.u really did so much for us .

Ishita look at him in disbelief and said-thank u ,bas ek thank u .u really think a thank u is enough for whatever I did??

Raman-no ,I know I must do much more then just saying thank u.but I know u don't want money and I don't have anything other to offer.he said blantly making ishita's eyes filled.

She was standing there not knowing what to say and how to react ,her eyes were filled and she was just looking at him.

Raman was doing his packing without looking at her when toshiji entered the room and said-ishita,tere amma-appa aayen hai ,tum dono se milne.aur yeh tu Kya kar raha hai ,raman??

Raman -kuch nahi bas packing kar raha hoon.

Toshiji-kaisi packing ,tu wapas toh jaane ki nahi soch raha.main ab aisa hone nahi dungi

Raman-but maa,he was saying when toshiji said-we will discuss it later ,tere saas sasur aaye hai. ,

Raman-aap chalo hum aate hai,he was saying when Ishita walked out with toshiji.

Raman too went behind and saw her parent sitting .he went and took their blessings.they blessed him and said-sab kuch itna jaldi hua,we couldn't arrange for anything.issliye kuch gift laaye hai tumhare liye.he said giving Raman few clothes and gold chain.

Raman-its not needed,uncle.

Appa-its needed ,Kanna .u r our son in law now .hamari beti ki Shaadi hui hai tumse.apne daamad ko kuch dene ki zarurat bhi hai aur haq bhi.tumhare jitne ameer toh nahi hai,but phir bhi apni khushi ke liye ,kuch laaye hai tumhare liye ,please le lo.he said keeping the gifts on raman's hand.

Raman-aap please aisa mat kahiye,uncle .

Appa-uncle nahi appa,jaise aaj se tumhare parent Ishita ke bhi parent hai ,waise hum bhi tumhare parent jaise hai ,Kanna .

Raman couldn't say anything and just said-thank u appa.

Appa-achcha ab chalte hai,he said and both were going when Amma turned and said-i don't wanna say anything but bina bole nahi reh paaungi.meri beti ne bahut kuch saha hai zindagi mein,aur bahut umeed hai hume tumse.ishita ne bahut mushkil gadhi mein tumhara saath diya hai,apne baare mein soche bina tumhare aur tumhari bachchi ki Khushi ke liye bahut bada step uthaya hai aur mujhe umeed hai ki tum bhi hamesha uska saath doge,kabhi uska haath nahi chodoge,kabhi uska saath nahi chodoge.itna bharosha kar sakti hoon naa tum par .she asked looking at Raman with hopeful eyes while Ishita was standing behind thinking their plea will not going to change anything as Raman is going back.her eyes were downcasted and filled ,trying to hide her tears.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 22

Ishra reached ruhi's school and everyone get out.ishita was going when her saree got stuck in the car's door but she was going without realizing when Raman held her hand and pulled her to himself.she landed on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her making her shocked at his action.

She look down and said-kya Kar rahen hai ,Raman??we r in ruhi's school.she said very meekly while her cheeks turned red with blush.

Raman was amazed seeing his effect on her ,he smiled and was about to caress when he realise their position and place.he left her and said-toh Kya karun,bawri ki tarah bhaage jaa rahi ho .yeh bhi nahi dekh rahin ki tumhari saree phans gayi hai.abhi fatt jayegi toh ghoomna phataa pallu le kar .he said trying to kill his embarrassment while she look around and said-oh sorry,I didn't realised.

Raman-tumhe kahan kuch pata rehta hai,kahin bhi kuch bhi karne lagti ho.arey dekho,Kya ho raha hai .koi hai toh nahi aas paas,phir kaam karo.he said making her confused.

Ishita-iska Kya Matlab hai??

Raman-kuch nahi,just be a little responsible towards ur clothes.he said taking ur her pallu and walked inside the school premises taking ruhi while Ishita was really confused hearing his words.

Ishita-raman Kya kehna chah rahen the,main apne kapdo ko thik se nahi rakhti.kya matlab ho sakta hai iska.she was thinking when she heard ruhi calling her.she shrugged thinking and went with ruman.

They reached ruhi's class and met her teacher .her teacher was praising ruhi,telling ishra that ruhi is very bright child making them happy to no end.

Teacher-yes Mr bhalla,ur child is very disciplined and intelligent.pehle toh bahut khamosh aur chup chup rehti this,but now she is really happy .hamesha muskurati rehti hai ,and she told me the reason behind her smile is u two.woh bahut khush hai aap dono ke saath reh kar.i really wish ki ab woh kabhi naa sad ho.she was really a very sad child.she said making Raman feel bad for ignoring ruhi like this.

Ishita could feel his sadness,she held raman's hand and said-ab hum kabhi ruhi ko dukhi nahi hone denge.uske mumma-papa hamesha uske saath rahenge.usse kabhi akela nahi chodenge.she said looking at Raman .

He smiled softly and nodded in yes holding her hand firmly.

They came out of ruhi's class and Raman said-thank u.

Ishita-for what??

Raman-for always supporting me.jab bhi main down feel karta hoon,tum hamesha mera morale badhati ho.thank u.

Ishita-isme thank u ki Kya baat hai.yahin toh kaam hota hai life partner ka,supporting each other at the time of crisis.jab main roti hoon,toh aap bhi toh mere aansu pochte hai .toh mujhe bhi toh haq hona chahiye aapko support karne ka .she said making him look at her.

Ishita-kya,aise Kya dekh rahen hai??galat kaha Kya Maine??

Raman-nahi,bas yeh ehsaas pehli baar hua,ki life partner saath hone ka matlab Kya hota hai.pehle yeh ehsaas kabhi nahi hua .

Ishita-par ab hamesha hoga,she said when ruhi said-mumma,pyaas lagi hai .main paani pi Kar aaun??

Ishita-chalo mumma bhi saath chalti hai.she said and both walked towards the water cooler while raman's eyes were on Ishita only.

He was looking at her and thinking about her words.

Raman-kuch toh hai isme,joh isse baakiyon se alag karta hai.she is indeed unique.he was thinking when he saw shagun walking towards ishru.he narrowed his eyebrows thinking why she is here.

Shagun went to Ishita and said-aaya ka kaam bahut achcha kar leti ho??jab mera baby hoga toh mere ghar bhi aa jaana,uski take care karne.dont worry ,bahut achchi salary dungi.she said smirking while Ishita look at her and then at ruhi ignoring her.

Ishita-paani pi liya betu,let's go.she said and was going holding ruhi's hand when shagun came in front and said-tumne suna nahi Maine kuch kaha.

Ishita-suna,but I preferred to ignore.mera raasta chodo.

Shagun-nahi choda toh kya karogi??

Ishita-tumhare paas sach much koi kaam nahi hai naa,siva hamari zindagi mein aa kar hume disturb karne ke .but hum logon ke paas kaam hai.mujhe clinic jaana hai aur mere husband bhi kaafi busy hai.so it's better,u let me go warna scene create karna mujhe bhi aata hai.she said and start walking towards Raman when shagun said-kitna achcha scene hai,ek baanjh maa hone ki acting kar rahi hai.must say,bahut achchi acting hai.she said making Raman angry.

He went towards them to answer shagun when Ishita turned to her and said-main baanjh nahi hoon,I have a daughter.jiska naam ruhi hai.aur main yahan uske liye aayi hoon.tum kiske liye aayi ho.jahan tak mujhe yaad hai,tumhara abhi tak koi bachcha nahi hai ,why u r here,Mrs shagun Khanna .she said making shagun angry.

She pointed her finger towards Ishita and said-u can't talk to me like this.ruhi Meri beti hai aur tum baanjh ho aur hamesha rahogi.tum uski maa kabhi nahi ban sakti .she was saying when Raman came in front and said-haath neeche lo ,warna tod dunga.noone can raise finger on my wife.he said and turn to Ishita saying-aur ishita tum,tum kab se itni free ho gayi ki inn sab aire gairon se baatein karne lagi.lets go, remember we have to pick gift for u,aakhir tumhari pehli rasoi ka neg joh due hai.naa ruhi.he said looking at ruhi .

Ruhi-yes papa,hum log mumma ke liye bahut achcha gift khareedenge .she said excitedly .

Raman-lets go Ishita,we r getting late.let Mrs Khanna live in her air castle.hum apni family mein hi khush hai.he said and went taking ishru from there leaving a fuming shagun behind.

Shagun-bahut khush ho naa tum log,ab dekhna main kaise tum logon ki Khushi cheenti hoon.ruhi hai naa tum logon ki Khushi ,usse tum logon se alag karke rahungi.she said and went to meet someone leaving her friend behind with whom she came to school.

On other hand,ishraruh reached a shopping mall .

Ishita-its not needed,raman.mujhe sach kuch nahi chahiye .Ghar chaliye,aapko shaam ko nikalna hai.uski preparation karni hogi.

Raman-stop thinking so much ,ishita.ruhi want to give u something ,uska dil mat todo.

Ishita-main mana nahi kar rahi,bas itna keh rahi hoon ki main aur ruhi baad mein aa kar kuch le lenge,aapko der naa ho jaaye.

Raman-and if I want to gift u something ,he asked making her silent.

Raman-tab toh chalogi naa??he asked to which she nodded .

They walked into a jewellery shop.

Ishita-raman,jewellery nahi.i have lots of it.

Raman-tum chup rahogi,let me pick something nice.maa ko bhi toh lagna chahiye,unka beta laayak ho gaya hai.

Ishita-aap mummy ji ke liye kar rahen hai yeh??

Raman-haan,actually no.haan maa ne mujhe kaha ki unki bahu bahut sundar hai and I should make sure ki tum hamesha hasti raho.but sach yeh hai that I too want to gift u something as a thank u gesture.please accept my gift.he was saying when Ruhi said-oh ho mumma,kitna bhaav kha rahi ho.le lo naa,papa kitne pyaar se de rahe hai.

Ishita-pyaar se de rahen hai??she asked to which ruhi nodded.

Ishita-tab toh lena padega.she said smiling ,when ruhi said-main bhi kuch le loon ,mumma ke liye.

Raman-bilkul le lo,aur apne liye bhi le lo.he said making ruhi happy.

They went inside and start looking for jewellery when Ishita phone rang.

Ishita-hello,haan main aa rahin hoon,saying so she hung the call while raman's face fell thinking her work commitments is always more important for her.

Ishita-raman.

Raman cut her and said-samajh gaya,hospital mein emergency hai and u have to go.

Ishita-emergency toh hai aur mujhe jaana bhi hai.but hospital mein nahi hai Ghar mein hai.

Raman-kya matlab??

Ishita-mummy ji ka phone tha.actually she wanted to make something for u ,toh Maine kaha tha main bhi help karungi ,issliye call Kiya tha.

Raman-toh tumne bata diya hota ki hum shopping par aaye hai.woh nahi bulati.

Ishita-why would I,Meri mother in law ne mujhse kuch manga.main kyun mana karun.agar main apni Amma ko kabhi mana nahi karti toh mummy ji ko kyun karun.main unki bahu hoon toh woh apne kaam ke liye meri taraf hi dekhengi naa.

Raman-tum shopping chod kar maa ki help karne jaana chahti ho??

Ishita-shopping toh aap dono Kar rahen hai,aap dono kijiye.main chali jaati hoon.waise bhi ruhi ko papa ke saath kuch special time akele milna chahiye,naa betu??she asked making ruhi smile.

Ishita-aap dono aaram se aaiyega,main chalti hoon.mummy ji must be waiting.she said when Raman said-main kuch nahi le jaane wala.maa har baar yeh karti hai.

Ishita-that we will decide later,she said and start walking out while Raman was just looking at her fully amazed.

Raman-ek yeh ladki hai,meri maa ke liye shopping chod kar chali gayi aur ek woh shagun thi.shopping karne ke liye puri duniya ko chod sakti thi.kaise mujhe tum mil gayi,ishita.he was thinking when he saw a man looking at ishita.he look at the direction and found the man looking at her blouse under which her undercloth was visible.

Raman-uff,she can't dress up properly or what,he thought and called her name.

She walked in mid and turn to him while he walked to her and said opening her bun-khule baalon mein jyada achchi lagti ho.

Ishita look at him all confused while he went very close to her caressing her hair .she closed her eyes taking his fragrance and he said-thik se dress up hua Karo,yeh Kya kabhi aage dikh raha kuch ,kabhi peeche .main toh dekh sakta hoon ,but can't allow anyone else,kyunki tum meri biwi ho.he said and left her hair .

He turn and walked to ruhi while Ishita blushed red at his words.she was walking out when she heard him saying,Kya ghoor raha tha .Meri biwi hai,aankhen nikal lunga.

Ishita didn't turned just walk out of the place blushing lost in his touch.the way he held her hair ,opened it and pulled her closer,she was loosing herself again to him.

That's all for now,enjoy.

Before updating this part,I want to clear something,Raman,shagun don't remember Ishita,as Ishita wasn't shagun's doctor.ishita's junior was shagun's doctor ,coz Raman couldn't afford ishita's treatment,but whenever the junior doctor wasn't available,Ishita attended shagun.so they barely meet her but as Ishita got impressed by Raman in their first meeting and later felt bad for him ,hearing shagun's unreasonable demands,Ishita use to observe sharam and mainly raman.so she remember everyone but not sharam.and about Ashok,Ashok never met Ishita personally but she saw ashgun together many times ,as she works in the same hospital ,which was a pretty big one.

Hope things r clear now,and u all get why sharam or Ashok didn't recognised ishita.

PART 6

Ruhi start crying hearing amma's harsh words while Ishita was shocked hearing her mother.

Ishita-kya hua achanak,aap aisa kyun keh rahi hai ,Amma??see ruhi bhi rone lag gayi .

Ruhi-maine sabse aapko mumma banane ke liye keh diya naa,issliye mujhse gussa ho gayi .she said crying making Ishita look at her parent.

Amma-baat sirf ruhi ke kehne ki hoti ,toh hum hans kar taal dete ,par santoshi bhi yahin keh rahi hai .yeh toh hadh hi ho gayi,maana ki tu pyaar karti hai ruhi se,yeh bhi maana ki tu maa nahi ban sakti and we badly want u to get settled ,but iska matlab yeh nahi ki kisi se bhi tujhe baandh denge.naa hume ruhi se koi rishta rakhna hai aur naa teri Shaadi karwani hai ruhi ke papa se.she said in a go making Ishita shocked at the revelation.

Ishita was all shocked knowing bhallas want her to marry Raman .she was looking at them without reacting when ruhi said cupping her face-aap ruhi ki mumma nahi banegi.maine judge aunty ko kaha aapko mumma banane ke liye,sab gussa kyun ho rahen hai,aap Meri mumma nahi banegi Kya,Ishita aunty.she asked keeping her head on ishita's shoulder making ishita's eyes moist.

She caressed ruhi's hair softly and look at their parents.

Toshiji cried seeing ruhi's affection for Ishita while Amma looked away.

After sometime,

Amma-i think aap sabko jaana chahiye,aap logon ko jawaab toh mil hi gaya hoga hamara.

Disappointed by amma's reply ,toshiji was walking towards ruhi when Ishita said-koi mujhe batayega Kya ho raha hai??

Amma-batana Kya hai,she was saying when Ishita said-let aunty ji talk.kya hua aunty??she asked and toshiji start crying.

Toshiji-kya bataun puttar,hamara toh sab kuch ujad gaya.tune toh dekha hi ki kaise shagun jeet rahi hai.woh humse hamari ruhi ko cheen legi.hearing ke baad humne lawyer se baat ki ,he said ki case hamare favour mein ho sakta hai ,agar tum Raman se Shaadi kar lo .she said meekly fearing ishita's reaction.

Ishita-toh??

Mr bhalla-toh we suggested to get u two married.ruhi tujhe bahut pyaar karti hai,tujhme apni maa dekhne lagi hai.aur tu bhi toh puttar itna pyaar karti hai ruhi se,so we thought may be u will agree.he said with pauses.

Amma-no,u think as my daughter is barren,she will accept ur divorcee son and his daughter.but we r not going to do that ,just leave.she was saying angrily when Ishita said-amma please,don't make it so ugly.aunty can I talk to u for a while.

Toshiji-haan puttar ,bol .

Ishita-rooh baby,u go and play in my room.i am just coming.

Ruhi-aap ruhi ki mumma banogi naa??

Ishita-we will talk about it,go and play.she said and ruhi went inside.

Ishita settled down next to toshiji and said-sorry to say this aunty ,but kyun aap log chahte hai ruhi ko .jaane dijiye usse uski maa ke saath.

Toshiji-yeh tu Kya keh rahi hai,tu bhi uske naqli aansuyon mein aa gayi .

Ishita-its not like that,I am just saying when her father didn't want her,then let her leave with her mother.

Toshiji-aisa nahi hai ,Raman bahut pyaar karta hai ruhi se.aur woh shagun,she left ruhi when she was just 15 days old.

Ishita-and Mr bhalla left her when she was one month old .toh Kya fark hua dono mein.both left her alone,usse itna akela kar diya ki woh ek ajnabi mein apni maa dhoondh rahi hai.isnt it unfair with the little soul.

Toshiji-tu sahi keh rahi hai ,puttar.aur main shayad tujhe samjha bhi naa paaun.but think about us,humne bachpan se paala hai usse,how can we let her go aur woh shagun achchi nahi hai .she is doing all this just to trouble raman.uska business Ashok ke business se aage badh raha hai toh she started her bloody game .woh pyaar nahi karti ruhi se.she said making Ishita shocked at this new revelation.

Ishita-woh ghatiya toh hamesha se thi ,but now she stoop so low .using her daughter for troubling Raman,main aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi .but main Kya karungi ,Raman se shaadi.but Kya woh iss Shaadi ke liye ready hai,khush toh nahi hi honge,he must be hurt.i think I should talk to him once .she was lost in her thoughts when toshiji said-tujhe bharosha nahi hoga,but Raman bahut pyaar karta hai ruhi se,Roz raat ko video call karta tha mujhe ,bas ruhi ki shakal ek baar dekhne ko .woh shayad jataa nahi paata but he loves her alot.

Ishita's eyes turned teary hearing this and she asked-woh kabhi laut kar kyun nahi aaye??

Toshiji-cant say,shayad bahut paise kamaana chahta tha,yaa phir shayad kabhi ubar nahi paaya shagun ke dhokhe se,I don't know but he really loves ruhi.bahut jyada,she is the only one he had.

Ishita-is he ready for the marriage??

Toshiji-we didn't talked to him.actually he went somewhere from Court only and came in the evening,she said meekly.

Amma-kyun dabbe awaaz mein keh rahi hai,tell clearly and loudly ,he came home all drunk.nashe mein dhutt,girta hua.his driver drop him home.woh ek sharaabi hai ,ishu.just cut the topic ,I don't want u to even think about it,not even for ruhi.she said while Ishita was again shocked hearing this .

Ishita-raman sharab peete hai??she asked all shocked.

Mr and Mrs bhalla nodded helplessly.

Toshiji-she broke him,she broke him completely.he is alone,very alone.kisi ko bhi apne kareeb nahi aane deta.agar ruhi bhi usse dur chali gayi toh woh ghut ghut Kar mar jaayega .I beg u for his life ,Ishita .I beg u for his life.she said crying.

Mr bhalla-woh aisa nahi tha,sabse achcha beta,sabse achcha pati aur sabse achcha papa,but now he is changed completely .itna badal gaya hai ki hum bhi usse nahi pehchan paate ,agar woh yahan hamare paas ruk gaya toh shayad phir jeene lage aur shayad ruhi hi woh kaaran ho sakti hai.but agar woh bhi chali gayi,pata nahi Kya hoga.please help us.socho koi bahut badnaseeb maa-baap hai joh apne Ghar ki khushiyan maangne aaye hai .please help us,puttar .hum bahut umeed se aaye hai.they said crying almost begging making Ishita and her parent eyes moist too.as they too feel same helplessness for Ishita.

Ishita pleaded and Amma said-joh tumhe thik lage,we have faith in u.

Ishita-i really want to help u in every manner aunty ji,uncle ji.but before agreeing for marriage I want to talk to Raman.can u please let us talk once.

Toshiji smiled and said-haan puttar,Kal savere hum usse baat karenge and will send him to talk to u.tujhe joh baatein karna hai Kar lena,but please yes kehna.she said folding her hand.

Ishita-ruhi mere saath reh sakti hai aaj.

Toshiji-haan puttar,rakh lein.waise bhi woh tujhme apni maa dekhti hai.she will be happy with u .hum chalte hai,subah aayenge.she said and Mr and Mrs bhalla went out of Iyer house.

That's all for now, enjoy.

PART 11

Ishita hold raman's hand and said-uff,yeh Kya Kiya aapne,chaliye mere saath.she said holding his hand when he shrugged her hand and said-chodo mujhe,I am fine.

Ishita held his hand and said-no ,u r not.come with me.

Raman -i am good,tum jaao yahan se.he said trying to take away his hand again when she hold his hand tight and said-ek baar keh diya naa,toh sunn lijiye.she said and took him to her car.she made him sit on back seat and opened her medical bag.she took out bandage and start cleaning his wound.she was cleaning his wound all worried while he was just looking at her,the way she was worried for him is something he never seen before.

He was thinking why she is so concerned about him when Ishita said-kitni chot lagaa li,aise karta hai Kya koi.uss Ashok ki toh aadat hai aapko pareshan karne ki ,atleast u should control urself. She was saying cleaning his wound when he said-u know him??he asked making Ishita look at him.

Ishita-ofcourse,ur mother talked much about him to me ,that how bad he is,how cunning he is .kaise woh aapko pareshan karta hai,she told me everything.now tell me ,why u behaved like this,u know he was provoking u.

Raman looked away and said-i don't wanna talk.

Ishita smiled at his cute antics and said-then why u brought me here??

Raman-because I wanted to talk.

Ishita-then talk.

Raman-not here,I want to talk to u but not here.

Ishita-ok,then let's go somewhere.

Raman-ok,but in my car.ur car is not of my standard.u know I drive Merc.

Ishita-oh,so my car is not of ur standard.then sorry,I too can't go in ur car.warna meri car ko bura lag jayega. Tell me the address,I will reach there in my car.

Raman-hotel centre point.hope tumne dekha hai.i know it's an expensive place,he was saying when she said-dekha hai,aap jao,I am coming .

Raman nodded and was going but came back and gave her a 2000 ruppee note .she look at him all confused.

Raman-for treating me,waise I never know that u r a doctor.kiski doctor ho.

Ishita made a face and said-pagalon ki,tabhi aapka ilaaj Kiya .and about this money,keep it urself.samajh lijiyega aapko ruhi ke papa hone ka privilege mil gaya.she said and was about to sit in her car when he hold her hand and said-hey,tumne mujhe paagal kaha.

Ishita-nahi toh,Maine kaha ki main pagalon ki doctor hoon.now go,raavan kumar.she said making a face.

Raman-now u called me raavan.

Ishita-toh Kya sita kahun,harkatein toh raavan wali hi hai.now go,warna main kahin nahi jaane wali,I am already tired,she said and settled in her car signalling him to go.

Raman walked to his car and said-jhansi ki rani,ladh rahi hai mujhse.he said and settle in his car instructing his driver to drive towards hotel centre point.

Ishita was driving and murmuring-kitna attitude ho gaya hai,meri car khatara hai.i have seen him in his bike also,mujhse attitude.she said in anger but then soften down and said-shagun ne Kya bana diya Raman ko,itne simple insaan ko itna egoistic,but I will make him my simple Raman. The one with whom I fell in love.she said and smiled.

After an hour,both were in the cafe of the hotel sipping their coffee.

Seeing him not talking Ishita said at last-u called me here for a coffee.

Raman-why u wanna marry me,he asked blantly.

Ishita look at him and he said-i am divorcee with a daughter.

Ishita-i haven't said yes yet .

Raman-still,why u r even considering me.i have seen ,u r not interested in money .Kya chahti hai aap??

Ishita-i want ur daughter's happiness.uski khushiyan chahti hoon main.see Mr bhalla,I don't know what happened with u and why u r like this,I mean I know ur past but isme ruhi ki Kya galti hai.kyun usse apni beti hone ki saza de rahen hai.i don't know,u know this or not,but she is very alone and love derived kid.she needs her parent's love.haan uncle -aunty loves her,but woh aap nahi hai.she craves for ur love aur aap usse pyaar nahi de rahen.

Raman got angry and said-toh aapko lagta hai aap de payengi usse mere hisse ka pyaar .listen miss Ishita,I know u must be loving her too much now,but I have been loving her since ever.mujhe aapka lecture nahi chahiye .I can take care of my girl.aap bas case mein yeh statement de dijiye ki main ek achcha baap hoon and can take care of my kid .he said looking around ,not looking into her eyes.

Ishita-tell me this looking at me.meri aankhon mein dekh kar yeh bol dijiye,main yeh written mein de dungi.

Raman-forget it,it's not going to work.main khud hi koi raasta nikaal lunga.he said going when she said-aur Kya hoga woh raasta,Ashok ke lawyer ko bribe karna .she said making him look at her in disbelief.

Raman -tumhe kaise pata??

Ishita-thats not important.aapko lagta hai ki woh bikega,they must be giving him a handsome amount .

Raman-toh Kya karun,tumhara lecture sunu,yaa phir best,tumse Shaadi kar loon.listen I am not going to marry u or anyone.ruhi meri beti hai ,usse kaise apne paas rakhna hai ,main dekh lunga.tum sirf itna karna ki meri beti se dur rehna .he said and went out in anger .

Ishita-uff,yeh Raman sab kharab kar denge.i have to stop him.she said and ran after him.

She saw him getting into his car and was going but stopped seeing something.

She went and look closely only to see her car was not in it's car.traffic police have taken away her car for parking in no parking.

She ran at the place and look at the empty place.

Raman walked to her and said-dimaag nahi hai naa,no parking mein kaun gaadi khadi karta hai.

Ishita-woh jisse ander park karne ki jagah nahi milti.dont irritate me now,raman.just go.

Raman-come,I will drop u .

Ishita-i am not going anywhere with u.aap jao aur apna kaam karo and let me do my things my way.

Raman- just go to hell.he said and was going when she said-told u naa,not going anywhere with u.khadoos raavan Kumar.

Raman -jkr.he said and went to his car.

Ishita took her mobile to arrange a cab for herself but it's battery was drained.so she start walking.

Raman look at the direction and saw it was all dark.he told his driver to follow her.

Driver-sir,that road is not good .gaadi nahi jaa payegi.aapko Kahan jaana hai aap bata dijiye,main dusre raaste se le chalunga.

Raman look at him and then at the way she was walking.he opened the door and said-i will send u the location.wahin aa jaana.he said and start walking behind her.

Ishita was walking slowly all scared looking around.

Ishita-itni raat ho gayi hai,koi cab bhi nahi mil rahi.kyun aayi main akele.raman keh rahen the drop kar denge but bhaav maar rahi thi.lo maze ab,akele ghoomo.she was talking to herself when she saw a group of four men looking at her.she shivered in fear and start walking more faster.

They all start walking behind her ,she fasten her speed listening the foot step and stumbled over a stone.she was about to fall when someone hold her.she got scared and turned all horrified and saw Raman holding her.

He turned and glared all the men,they went back while Raman pulled Ishita to himself .she landed on his chest and her chain got stuck in his shirt's button again.she hugged him tight in fear and said-main bahut darr gayi thi.

Raman don't know what to do or feel but he wanted to comfort her,so he wrapped his arms around her and said-if I took u out at this hour,then it's my responsibility to drop u home safely.he said caressing her hair while she engulfed more into him feeling secured.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 17

Ishita came to bhalla house and went to ruhi's room while Raman was busy in reading newspaper.

Ishita look for ruhi everywhere when she heard,ruhi is in raman's room.i mean ur room.toshiji said.

Ishita went to their room and kissed ruhi's temple.

Ishita-get up betu,see it's morning .she said caressing ruhi's hair while she got up rubbing her eyes.

Ruhi-aap aa gayi, mumma??Kahan thi raat bhar ,ruhi was waiting .

Ishita-ji mummy ji.main help karun??

Toshiji-nahi ,everything is done .yeh chai Raman ko de do ,neelu is setting the table.

Ishita nodded and went to Raman.

Ishita-raman,aapki chai.

Raman took it and thanked him.he start sipping the tea while Ishita smiled.she was feeling good to be a part of his life and doing things for him as his wife.she look at the sky and thanked the almighty for granting her wish.

She was looking at the roof when Raman asked-pankha saaf karna hai??

Ishita look at Raman with confused eyes and he said again-pankha saaf karne ka mann hai,Kya ghoor ghoor Kar dekh rahi ho??

Ishita made a face and said-aapse matlab,apni chai peejiye naa.

Raman-nahi,I thought maa tumhe kitchen mein kaam karne nahi de rahi toh tum pankhe saaf karne ke chakker mein ho.kar lo Kar lo,issi bahane kuch kaam Kar logi,thodi patli ho jaogi.

Ishita narrowed her eyebrows and said-what to do mean,main moti hoon??

Raman-tumhe nahi pata .hey bhagwaan kitni bewakoof ho,tumhe sach nahi pata.its just so obvious ,ki tum moti ho,he said smiling.

Ishita-ji nahi,main moti nahi hoon ,bilkul bhi nahi.she said with a frown.

Raman-aisa tumhe lagta hai,but in reality tum ho moti.he said making a serious face .

Raman-waise bhi Maine kaha tha naa tum uss doctor se moti ho.

Ishita-aapko kuch jyada hi uss doctor ki yaad nahi aa rahi.

Raman-haan aa rahi hai.actuallt woh bahut sundar thi.kaash main married nahi hota uss samay.toh usse line maarta.he said smiling teasing her .

Ishita-woh toh aap aaj bhi nahi hai,toh kisi aur ki taraf dekhne ki sochiyega bhi mat,main aapko aisa karne nahi dungi ,samjhe.bade aaye line maarne wale.she said and went smiling.

Raman-maza aata hai madrasan ko irritate karne mein.he was saying when toshiji called everyone for breakfast.

All settled for breakfast and start having it while Ishita was feeding ruhi happily.raman was happy seeing ishru bond while Mr and Mrs bhalla were too happy seeing ishraruh happy .

Toshiji-puttar,tum log shopping Kar aao,muh dikhayi ki rasam shaam ko hai.

Ishita-ji mummy ji .she said and Raman said-main nahi jaa paaunga.

Ishru look at him and toshiji was about to say something when Raman said-mujhe bahut important presentation banana hai.

Toshiji-mujhe kuch nahi sunna,u r going with ishita.she said and went .

Ishita look at Raman and he said-i really have work,actually I am not going back. Toh boss ne mujhe yahan par ek project sambhalne ke liye,he was saying when Ishita said-its ok Raman .main samajh gayi,aapko kaam hoga.dont worry,main ruhi ko le kar chali jaaungi.i know work is very important.she said and went to change.

Mr bhalla smiled and said-woh khud bhi kaam karti hai naa,issliye uski importance samjhti hai .toshiji ki tarah nahi,he was saying when toshiji said-i am listening,bhalla ji.

Mr bhalla got silent hearing her while Raman went to their room and said-thanks for understanding me.

Ishita-its ok ,raman.aapko thanks kehne ki zarurat nahi.

Raman took out his card and said-please shop with this.

Ishita look at him and took the card smiling.

Ishita-thank u.

Raman-tumne itni easily le liya,I mean it's good.but I thought tum kahogi that u have money.u r self sufficient.jaise aaj Kal saari working women kehti hai.

Ishita-main aisa kyun kahun.main kitne bhi paise kama loon ,but apne husband ke paise se shopping karne mein joh khushi hai ,woh apne paise mein nahi.it gives the feeling of belongingness,that we belongs to each other.ki aap mere hai,mere pati.she said and went smiling while Raman was just looking at her thinking about her words .

Raman-kuch bahut hi alag hai Ishita mein.something very different,very unique .joh usse dusron se alag banata hai .he was thinking while ishru went to shopping.raman too got busy in his work after sometime.

Ishru were busy in shopping .they picked sarees,suits for Ishita,frocks and pants for ruhi.few shirts for Raman and clothes for Mr and Mrs bhalla too.

After shopping for long,they finally went to pay the bill .

Ishita gave raman's card to clear the bill when shagun hold her hand and said-wow,tum toh bahut tez nikli.kal Shaadi aur aaj card bhi le liya .achche se uda rahi ho apne rich pati ke paise.

Ishita took the card and gave it on the counter and then said-haan,uda rahi hoon.aapko kya problem hai,mere pati hai,unke paise hai .main unki biwi hoon.joh chahe karun,aapko kyun khujli ho rahi hai.aapke pati ne aapko paise nahi diye.kya hua bache nahi Kya,Ashok ke paas paise.raman se bolun,jarur loan de denge .he is very rich.she said taking the card back and was going out with ruhi.

Shagun-bahut udd rahi ho naa.but yaad rakhna,woh mera used hai.i think tumhe used cheezein use karne ki aadat hai.ek kaam karo,yeh sandal main ab use nahi karna chah rahi.isse bhi le lo,mera used handbag bhi le lo.aur kabhi mat bhoolna,Raman aur ruhi ko maine choda hai.she said smirking.

Ishita-kabhi nahi bhoolungi aur naa hi kabhi unka saath chodungi,kyunki aap bewakoof thi joh Raman ko chod diya.main yeh bewakoofi kabhi nahi karungi.

Shagun-jab tak paise hai,yeh pyaar hai.dekhte hai tab kya hoga jab Ashok ,Raman ko pehle ki tarah bhikari bana dega.

Ishita-first of all,aisa kabhi nahi hoga aur agar hua bhi ,toh bhi main Raman ka haath nahi chodne wali.chahe Khushi ho,chahe gham.i will be always beside him.aur yeh aap bhi dekhengi aur waqt bhi.chalo ruhi,we r getting late.she said and start walking when shagun came infront of her and said-tum jitna bhi Raman ke kareeb raho,woh tumhare kareeb kabhi nahi aayega,kyunki woh sirf mujhse pyaar karta hai aur hamesha karta rahega .tum meri jagah kabhi nahi le paogi.

Ishita -mujhe tumhari jagah leni bhi nahi hai . apni alag jagah banani hai Raman ki life mein,kyunki aapki koi jagah hi nahi hai Raman ki life mein.she said and was walking when shagun said again-oh really,toh tumhe pyaar karta hai woh.toh hai kahan,akele chod diya,sirf card diya saath nahi .mujhe kabhi akela nahi choda usne.she said smirking making ishita's face fall but she composed herself and was about to answer when ruhi said,papa and ran to him.

Both the ladies look at ruhi anv then Raman who picked her in his arms .

Ishita smiled seeing him while shagun's face fell.

Raman walked to them and said-haan Maine tumhe akela nahi choda,shagun ,but u left me.and thanks for that.i became a much better person without u.he said to shagun and then looked at Ishita and said-kaam khatam ho gaya tha,toh aa gaya.can I join u two??he asked smiling.

Ishita -we r done,hum wapas hi jaa rahen the.

Raman-oh ,I am late.he said with a sad pout.

Ruhi-no papa,we have time .chaliye saath mein lunch karte hai aur phir hum movie bhi dekh sakte hai .naa mumma,aaj hum sabki chutti hai toh enjoy karna chahiye naa .she said excited.

Raman-i am fine,if ur mumma don't have any problem.

Ishita-i am in,let's go .she said and ishraruh went together happily .Raman turn to shagun and saw her fuming .he smirked and held ishita's waist protectively and went with ishru smiling while shagun fumed in anger.

That's all for now,sorry couldn't add the teaser ,as it went long .will write that in next update.enjoy.

PART 23

Ruman came back and was about to enter the house but stopped hearing the laugh of toshiji and ishita.raman smiled his mother so happy after so long while they were busy in making ladoo talking with each other.

Toshiji-tu nahi jaanti Raman ko mere haath ke besan ke ladoo bahut pasand hai.issliye jab bhi woh Mumbai jaata hai ,main bana kar uske bag mein chupa Kar rakh deti thi.

Ishita-chupa Kar kyun mummy ji??

Toshiji-arey tera pati bahut khadoos hai,mujhpar bahut chillata tha.kehta tha ki plane mein yeh sab le jaana allowed nahi.but main bhi Kahan sunti thi,chupa Kar rakh deti thi.phir woh phone par mujh par gussa hota tha.she said smiling making Ishita smile too.

Ishita-toh hum aaj bhi unke bag mein yeh sab chupa kar pack karenge??

Toshiji-aur nahi toh Kya,warna woh le nahi jaayega.bahut ziddi hai.

Ishita-and what if he saw??

Toshiji-dont let him,just pack his bag before he came back with all the stuff .she said showing Ishita all the stuff they made.

Raman saw the food stuff and said-yeh dono saas -bahu paagal ho gayi hai.main yeh sab le kar jaane wala nahi .he was saying when he heard them talking,

Ishita-agar dekhenge toh daantenge naa??

Toshiji-toh tu kya darti hai usse.arey tu meri,santoshi bhalla ki bahu hai,kisi se mat dara kar aur uss khote de puttar se toh bilkul nahi .she said and both smiled.

Ishita-achcha mummy ji,aap mujhe yeh ladoo banana sikhayengi??

Toshiji look at her and asked-kyun,tujhe Raman ke liye banana hai Kya??

Ishita look down and said-nahi,it's not like that,it's just ,it's ,she was fumbling while her cheek turn red in blush .

Toshiji smiled fully seeing this and said-haaye ,main mar jaavan.tu toh mere puttar ke naam se hi aise gulaab ki tarah laal ho rahi hai .

Ishita-kuch bhi mummy ji,main aati hoon abhi ,Mera shayad phone baj raha hai .she said and went inside while toshiji and Raman both smiled at ishita's reaction.

Toshiji-lagta hai Ishita puttar ko mere puttar se love -shove ho raha hai,thank u matarani ,thank u.she said and went inside telling neelu to pack everything while Raman was smiling thinking about Ishita when ruhi ,who was sleeping in his arms woke up and said-why we r standing here,papa.lets go inside.

Raman-haan chalo,he said and went inside.he took ruhi to her room and lay her down on the bed.

Raman kissed her temple and said-u rest ,till papa will pack his bag warna aapki dadi aur mumma,pata nahi Kya Kya bhar dengi mere bag mein.he said and was going when ruhi hold his hand and said-abhi mumma ko gift mat dena,we will give it together.ok.

Raman-ok.he said and went covering ruhi with the quilt.

Raman went to his room and saw Ishita taking out his suits and keeping it with matching shirts and tie.

Raman-kya Kar rahi ho??

Ishita turn to him and said-aap aa gaye??

Raman-nahi ,Mera bhoot hai .tumhe darane aaya hai.

Ishita-haha,very funny,but maza nahi aaya.

Raman-achcha,main maza dilane wala lagta hoon.

Ishita look at him all amused while he too felt embarrassed realising his words .both look at each other without uttering any words and after long both burst into laughter.

Raman-i am sorry,I didn't mean that way.he said laughing while she stopped for a while hearing him and laughed again saying-then what u meant exactly??

Raman-stop laughing ,it's embarrassing.

Ishita-first u stop laughing .she said laughing hard when he pulled her to him and said closing her mouth-chup .

She stopped and just look at him while he was also looking at her.they were really close and was lost in each other,his one hand was on her mouth while another on her waist pulling her closer.he slowly removed his hand and his hand brushed on her lips making both shiver.he caressed her cheek and she closed her eyes in anticipation.he smiled seeing her reaction and was just looking at her face.he wasn't doing anything,neither touching nor withdrawing his hand,he was just admiring her.

Raman-kitni alag hai yeh sabse.the way she make me feel,kabhi kisi ne nahi feel karaya.she is just so different.he was thinking looking at her when ruhi came running inside the room and sat on the bed making a grumpy face.

Ishra look at her and then look at each other thinking what went wrong but both don't know why ruhi is angry.

Both walked to her and asked-what happened,baby??

Ishita-mera bachcha kyun gussa hai??

Ruhi-aapne mumma ko gift de diya naa,I told u not to give her .we will give it together.ab mumma aapko jyada pyaar karegi.

Raman-who told u,Maine nahi diya.waise bhi ur mumma loves u more.

Ruhi look at Ishita like confirming what Raman said,to which Ishita nodded and said-yes,mumma loves u alot.aur tumhare papa ne sachchi mujhe koi gift nahi diya .

Ruhi-main doon??she asked excitedly and Ishita nodded smiling.

Ruhi ran to her room to bring her gift while Ishita look at Raman and said-mera gift??

Raman-kaisa gift,tumhe toh nahi chahiye tha.

Ishita-but u told that u will gift me something.iska matlab ruhi was right,tum sirf keh rahi thi ki tumhe gift nahi chahiye,but in actual u wanted that.

Ishita-haan,yahin baat hai.ab dijiye mera gift.

Raman-main toh laaya nahi,Maine socha ruhi ko de hi rahi hai.main bhi ussi mein credit le lunga .he said smiling making her irk.

Ishita-kitne kanjoos hai aap ,Raman??

Raman-aur kitni nautankibaaz ho tum ,Ishita .he spat back in same tone when ruhi came taking a small bag and give it to Ishita .

Ishita open it and saw a pair of anklet.

Ruhi-isnt it pretty??

Ishita-bahut khoobsurat hai ,thank u bachcha.

Ruhi-aur papa ne mere liye bhi same anklet banwaye hai,hum aap saath saath mein pehenege.maza aayega naa.she said making Ishita remember raman's words.

She smiled and said-haan bahut maza aayega .after all tumhare papa mujhe maza joh dilane wale hai.she said and Raman glare her.

Ruhi-sachchi papa. Aap mumma ko maza dilane wale hai .

Raman-haan,abhi bahut maza aane wala hai.tum dono maze lena,let me go .Meri flight ka time hone wala hai .he said and was going when Ishita said-aise kaise, mera gift dijiye pehle.

Raman-kuch nahi liya.mere paas paise nahi the tum par udane ke liye.

Ishita-jhooth,I know aap gift laaye hai.dijiye naa.

Raman-kaha naa,nahi hai kuch .don't irritate.

Ishita-kanjoos kahin ke.she said and went sulking taking ruhi along.

Raman smiled at her antics and started packing his stuff.

Toshiji called Ishita and gave her packet full of laddo and namkeen they made for them and said-ab jaa Kar chup chap isse Raman ke bag mein daal dena.dhyaan rahe,usse pata naa chale.

Ishita-ji boss,she said and went back.she look inside and saw Raman was nowhere .she saw his bag was kept on the bed.she walked inside looking around and kept the stuff in the bag.

Ishita-mission accomplished.she smiled and turn to go but bang into him.he was standing just behind her glaring at her keeping his hand on his waist .

Ishita-mar gayi ishu,she said looking at him making a baby face while he was just looking at her.

Raman-kya main puch sakta hoon tum mere bag ke saath Kya kar rahi ho.

Ishita-puchiye naa.

Raman-ishita,Kya kar rahi ho??

Ishita-kuch nahi,was just checking,ki aapne sab thik se rakh liya hai yaa nahi.

Raman-really,u were just checking .he said walking close to her,while she walked backward nodding in yes.he was walking towards her while she was walking backward,till her back bang with the wall .he trapped her in between his arms and said sternly-sach batao.

Ishita look down and said-was keeping the snacks packet,joh mummy ji ne diya hai.

Raman-toh jhooth kyun kaha??

Ishita-sach kaise bolti,kitna toh daante hai aap,she said innocently making him smile.

Raman-main daanta hoon,aur run Kya kar rahi thi .apni mummy ji ki chamchi hui ho.i am not going to take all this .

Ishita-le jaiye naa,unhe achcha lagega .fikar karti hai aapki,issliye itni mehnat ki aapke liye .

Raman-aur tum kiske liye mehnat Kar rahi ho??

Ishita look at him and said-mujhe jaane dijiye ,mummy ji ko Meri zarurat hogi .she said and was going when he held her hand and pulled her to him.she landed on his chest and held his shirt for support .

He made her turn and make her wear some cold metal on her neck.she touched it and found a mangalsutra.

Raman tied it around her neck and said-ur gift .achcha hai??

Ishita look at it and said-bahut khoobsurat hai.

Raman-hona bhi chahiye ,bahut mehenga hai.

Ishita-issliye khoobsurat nahi hai kyunki mehenga hai,yaa diamond ka hai.balki issliye khoobsurat hai,kyunki yeh mujhe aapse jodta hai.she said and went smiling while Raman was dumbstruck at her answer.

Raman-kya sach much yeh rishta itna important hai Ishita ke liye.he thought and got busy in his last minute packing.

After an hour,he was about to go .he was saying bye to everyone and was telling them to take care hugging them warmly while Ishita was just looking at him hoping that he will hug her also when his phone rang.

He answered the phone and said-what,ok.call me,I will leave accordingly.he said and hung the call.

Toshiji-kya hua??

Raman-flight delay hai ten hours.raat ko chaar baje jayegi ab.

Mr bhalla-puri raat kharaab Kar degi .koi nahi,tu rest kar le abhi kuch der.

Raman nodded and went to his room while Ishita got busy in household work.

After an hour,all had their dinner and then went to sleep.

Ishita made ruhi sleep in her room and went to their room only to see Raman busy in his work.she smiled seeing him working wearing spects and was admiring him when he said-mujhe aisa lag raha hai,yaa tum sach much mujhe ghoor rahi ho??

Ishita got startled by his question and said-nothing like that,aap rest kyun nahi kar rahen??aapko raat mein uthna hai naa.

Raman-just going to sleep,ek presentation hai .bas usse format Kar raha hoon.he said yawning.

Ishita -u r tired ,raman.so jaiye.

Raman-sleeping in sometime,tum so jao.he said and she went out in place of sleeping.

After ten minutes,she came with two mugs of coffee and offered him.he took it smiling saying thank u.

Ishita settle on the couch having her coffee when he smiled.

Ishita-what happened??

Raman-kuch yaad aa gaya.

Ishita-kya,tell me??

Raman-u remember I told u about the hospital when shagun was being treated ,I hope u don't mind talking about that time.

Ishita-nahi,boliye.

Raman-wahan jab main raat mein akele baith Kar kaam karta tha,a compounder always use to give me coffee.iska swad uss coffee ki tarah hai.

Ishita smiled and said-dont say ki aapko coffee ka taste yaad hai.

Raman-its not about taste,Ishita .it's about care,concern and warmth.i always use to wonder that who send coffee for me at that hour.i even asked him but he never answered.

Ishita-ho sakta hai canteen ki coffee ho.

Raman-nahi,it sucks .woh bahut achchi hoti thi.

Ishita-lagta hai bahut yaadein hai aapki uss hospital se.

Raman-hospital se nahi,actually I don't know,kaun tha woh.but I always felt that someone is there for me,koi hai aisa joh Meri care karta ho.u know it was my kind of solace ,achcha lagta tha mujhe.it feels like mother's blessing,joh dikhta nahi but u can always feel it.he said smiling sipping the coffee while she smiled hearing her and all she could think,shayad koi tha joh aapse pyaar karta tha,aapki care karta tha.she thought and smiled.

Raman-tum so jao,I will sleep after finishing it .

Ishita-aap Kar lijiye,I am waiting.she said settling herself more on the couch.

Raman-so jao,I am good.

Ishita-i am also good .she said waiting for him.

After half an hour,he closed his laptop and saw her already sleeping on the couch.

Raman smiled seeing her sleeping in the sitting position.he went close to her,make her sleep comfortably and cover her with the quilt .

He look at the watch and thought to leave for airport.he changed his clothes and did ola.he was going out but stopped .he turned and look at Ishita and smiled.he went close and caressed her cheek .

Raman-bye Ishita .he said and went out taking his bag .he then went to ruhi's room and kissed her temple too.

At last he went to the hall and was opening the door when he heard,aap jaa rahe hai??

Raman turned and saw Ishita standing .

Raman-tum jag gayi??

Ishita-haan ,came to check do u want anything .

Raman-nahi,I am good.thanks for asking.he said and turn to go when she said-take care.

He turn again and said-tum bhi apna khayal rakhna .

Ishita smiled and went close to him.both were just looking at each other waiting for other to say something but both were silent.

Ishita was looking at him expecting a hug while he was also thinking same.

Seeing him not initiating ,Ishita finally went close and said hugging him slowly-have a safe journey.hamesha yaad rakhiyega ki koi hai joh Ghar par aapka intezaar kar rahi hai.

Raman smiled hearing her and hugged her back warmly and said-i will be back very soon.saying so he went out smiling while she too waved him back smiling.

That's all for now,enjoy.
