Amma tried to call her again but Ishita didn't picked it.after sometime she saw her father's message calling her home as it was getting dark.she can't deny him,so stand up and walked out of the park.

She was walking slowly on the road when she saw a little girl ran on the road behind a puppy while a car was approaching her.

Ishita shouted to call her but the girl was just not listening,so she ran to her and guard her from the car wrapping her arms around the little girl.

The car owner stopped and shouted on Ishita to take the girl away from the path.she picked the girl and took her to the side .

The girl look at her and Ishita said-aise kyun road par gayi,kuch ho jaata ho.

The girl look at Ishita and smiled making a baby face,making ishita's eyes sparkled in happiness seeing her innocent face.ishita lovingly caressed her face and asked-whats ur name ,beta??

Raman held ishita's waist making shagun fume in anger while he enjoyed her being annoyed.ishita look at Raman and realised he is holding her only to show shagun.

Ishita saw shagun going and said-woh chali gayi,now u can leave me.she said making Raman look at her.

Ishita-shagun chali gayi,ab aapko mujhe pakadne ki zarurat nahi .

Raman-r u feeling bad ,Mera pakadna bura lagaa??

Raman-with??

Ishita-my card,actually sabke liye gift lena tha,toh Maine apna card use Kar liya .

Raman-achcha toh mera card sirf mera dil rakhne ke liye liya tha .

Ishita-nahi,actually amma-appa ke liye bhi kuch lena tha,she was saying when he said-maine kaha tha Kya ki Amma -appa ke liye gift mere card se nahi le sakti.he said making her look at him.

Raman-ishita,ab kuch bhi mera aur tumhara nahi hai ,sab much hamara hai .parents bhi hum dono ke hai .rishta bhale hi ruhi ke liye hai,but yeh rishta bhi hamara hai aur isse hume mil kar nibhana hai ,toh mujhe achcha lagega agar next time tum hum dono ke beech yeh paise nahi laaogi.

Ishita nodded and said-actually I don't want to look like gold digger.main nahi chahti thi ki aap bhi wahin sochen ,joh shagun soch rahi thi .she said meekly.

Raman-let her be,I think hume apne beech usse nahi aane dena chahiye .he said to which Ishita just nodded .

Soon the lunch got served and they had it together.ishita was smiling continuously having Raman in her life.

Ishita-raman bilkul nahi badle,woh aaj bhi waise hi hai.bahut achche,aapse pyaar karke koi galti nahi ki hai maine.u really deserve this.she thought and continued eating while Raman was also looking at Ishita thinking why she is smiling looking at him.

After an hour,ishraruh reached home after getting call from toshiji.

Toshiji saw them and said-glad u all came,sab aati hi hongi.tu ready ho jaa,puttar.

Ishita-kya pehenu??

Toshiji-kuch bhi,teri pasand ka.

Ishita nodded and went inside .she start looking at the clothes and thought,mujhe toh Raman ka favourite colour bhi nahi pata,Kya karun.kisi se puchun??nahi nahi,it will not look good.apni pasand hi pehan leti hoon.she thought and picked a red colour saree.

She got ready wearing it and went out looking for raman.she wanted to show herself to him and see his expression but to her bad luck ,Raman was out for some work.

She got sad hearing that Raman didn't wait for her muh dikhayi but then thought that he already spend time with them.

Ishita-its ok,Raman busy honge,kuch bahut important hoga tabhi nahi ruke,warna jarur rukte.he values my sentiment.she thought when toshiji called her.she went out and toshiji hide her face under a heavy dupatta.she made Ishita sit and the ritual started.

A lady removed the veil and said-bahut khoobsurat hai teri bahu,toshi.ishita ko toh humne dekha hi hai but dulhan bann kar aur bhi khoobsurat ho gayi hai .she said making Ishita blush while Amma smiled seeing her daughter getting all love and praises.

Slowly all saw her face and gift her something or other .

After muh dikhayi,toshiji brought a utensil filled with milk with chooda kept in the utensil.

Toshiji made Ishita wear the chooda and said-u have to wear it for one and half month ,yeh tere suhaag ki nishani hai.pehenegi naa,she asked to which Ishita nodded smiling,at the same time Raman came talking on phone but stopped seeing the scene infront of his eyes .

Toshiji was happily making Ishita wear the chooda while Ishita was happily wearing it ,looking very beautiful.

Raman was lost in admiring Ishita, when a lady said-bahu toh teri bahut khoobsurat hai ,toshi.but galti kar di tune.she said making everyone look at her.

Toshiji-kya hua??

Lady-kya hua Kya,ab kuch nahi hoga .khoobsurati sab kuch nahi hoti ,tu shayad bhool gayi hai,Ishita baanjh hai .woh kabhi tujhe bachcha nahi de payegi.tere puttar ko kabhi dusri aulaad nahi hogi.she said making ishita's face fell along with her mother.

Toshiji-i don't care,mujhe koi fark nahi padhta .all I care is Ishita is my daughter in law.and I am proud of her.she said caressing ishita's hair softly making her smile a bit while tears roll down her cheek not able to take the pain when another woman said-kuch bhi Kaho ,toshi.baat toh sahi hai,baanjh bahu aaj achchi lag rahi hai ,Kal buri lagne hi lagegi.after all she can never give u ,a baby .she said making ishita's eyes filled.she tried to make a strong face but couldn't.

She wiped her tears and was thinking what to say when they heard,Meri mumma banjh nahi hai ,main hoon unki beti.

Everyone look at the direction and saw ruhi standing there angrily.she went to Ishita and said wiping her tears-mumma,aap mat ro.ruhi hai naa aapki baby .she said settling in her lap making everyone smile and Raman feel proud of his daughter .

Ishita was just hugging ruhi tight trying to find her solace when another lady said-koi kuch bhi kahe,baanjh hamesha baanjh hi rehti hai .kisi aur ki bachchi ko apna kar,she was saying when they heard,bas.

Everyone look at the door,Raman angrily walked in and said -enough.enough of ur talks.bahut Kar li aapne Ishita ki insult ,ab aur nahi.i don't know about her but main ab uski insult nahi sehne wala.he said making Ishita look at him all shocked while toshiji got happy seeing Raman fighting for his wife's esteem.

Lady-main toh bas tumhare achche ke liye,she was saying when Raman said-i haven't finished yet.ishita meri biwi hai aur mujhe bilkul nahi pasand koi bhi uski insult kare yaa kisi bhi tarah usse hurt kare.toh agli baar usse taunt karne se pehle do baar sochiyega,kyunki ab woh akeli nahi hai, uske saath uska pati,Raman Kumar bhalla khada hai.he said wrapping his arms around ishita's waist.

She was looking at him without blinking her eyes while he was holding her firmly all ready to fight with everyone for her .

That's all for now,enjoy.

Note-this one is for srini,enjoy.

PART 12

Lawyer-i don't know why we r waiting here so long.humne court ke saamne saare saboot present Kar diye hai,ki Raman Kumar bhalla kitna voilent hai aur kisi bhi bachche ko ek achchi parvarish nahi de sakta.not only this,court can see how careless he is,ki court ki proceedings puri hone ke bawajood woh abhi tak court nahi pahunche hai.so it's my sincere request to the court ki aap miss ruhi ki custody uski biological mother Mrs shagun Khanna ko de dijiye.thats all ,ur honour.ashok khanna's lawyer said in a go and sat on his place.

It was the court date,where shagun and Ashok have reached with his lawyer.they have showed to the court the video they have captured a day before proving Raman aggressive.

On other hand,only Mr and Mrs bhalla along with ruhi has reached court while ishra were nowhere.so ashgun were confident that they will surely win the custody battle.

Judge-i don't know how can a father be so careless and voilent ,but I can't give a kid's custudy to such a person ,so I am granting ruhi's custody to ,he was saying making ashgun happy when everyone heard,ek minute ur honour.

Everyone turned and saw Raman entering the court room.

Judge-u r again late,Mr bhalla.

Raman-sorry for that ur honour,but I had a valid reason for it.

Judge-can u please explain the reason behind this video also.can u justify ur action in any way.

Raman-yes ur honour.it was Mr khanna's trap ,he provoked me saying that he will snatch my daughter.mujhe gussa aa gaya and I couldn't control.but I promise aisa dobara kabhi nahi hoga.main ruhi ko kisi bhi tarah se naa hurt karunga aur naa kisi ko karne dunga.i just want my baby with me.

Judge-aur iss baat ki responsibility kaun lega.who will take the responsibility of this kid's safety and security.to be true ,I don't trust both of u for ruhi ,but still Mrs Khanna is a more good option then u ,after all she is not voilent like u.and I really don't trust u for ruhi.he was saying when they heard,but u can trust me.

Everyone turned again and saw Ishita entering wearing a maroon saree ,her partition was filled while she was wearing mangalsutra and bangles.

Everyone was confused seeing her when judge said-miss Ishita,how can i trust u for ruhi.aapka Kya rishta hai ruhi se??

Raman-she is ruhi's mother,Mrs Ishita Raman Kumar bhalla.he said making everyone shocked while ruhi got happy hearing this .she got up and start dancing in joy.she ran to Ishita and hugged her tight saying-aap sachchi meri mumma ban gayi hai Kya??

Ishita smiled and nodded in yes while ruhi laughed fully and danced saying-yaay,Ishita aunty Meri mumma ban gayi,Ishita aunty Meri mumma ban gayi.saying so she was dancing while everyone in the court were smiling except ashgun who were fuming in anger .

Ashok-what the hell is this,shagun.raman ne iss ladki se Shaadi kar li.tum kuch bhi thik se nahi kar sakti.

Shagun-ashok suno toh,I tried but ,she was saying when Ishita said-ur honour,I want u to give ruhi's custudy to me and Mr husband,Mr Raman Kumar bhalla,who is ruhi's biological father.and I promise ,ruhi ko kabhi koi problem nahi hogi and noone will hurt her in any way.she will be safe with us.we will give her a lovely atmosphere to grow up .hum,main aur Raman,har tareeke se ruhi ko khush rakhenge .she said while ruhi was hugging her like her life depends on Ishita.

Seeing ishru bond judge said-now I don't have any reason to not give this custody to u two,kyunki ruhi khud aapke saath rehna chahti hai.aur bachche ki Khushi sabse jyada important hai.so I am giving ruhi's custody to Mr and Mrs Raman Kumar bhalla,and specially to Mrs Ishita bhalla.and also I will reviving it in between.so if u treat ruhi badly ,u may loose the custody.

Ishita-we won't give u any such chance .hum ruhi ko hamesha pyaar karenge and will keep her happy and safe.she said and court took another case and everyone came out.

Ishita smiled fully and kissed ruhi saying-my baby,finally u r my baby.mera bachcha Mera rooh.she was saying and kissing ruhi while everyone was just looking at them.everyone with admiration while ashgun with anger.

After sometime ruhi went to raman.she look at him with scared eyes while he was just looking at her waiting for her to say something.

After much courage ,ruhi said-thank u papa .

Raman sat down to her level and asked-why??

Ruhi-for giving me Ishita mumma.ab jab aap ruhi ko pyaar nahi karenge,ruhi mumma paas chali jayegi.ab ruhi kabhi akeli nahi rahegi .she said almost crying making Raman cry too.he couldn't hold himself back and hugged ruhi tight and said-sorry bachcha ,ab papa aapko chod kar nahi jaayenge.saying so he kissed her temple while everyone got pleasantly surprised seeing Raman melting for ruhi.

Ishita went to Mr and Mrs bhalla and said-aashirwaad dijiye,mummy ji ,papa ji .

Toshiji hugged her tight and said-rab tujhe hamesha khush rakhen ,puttar.u brought the happiness in our life .she said and went to Amma.

Toshiji-i promise Ishita puttar ko kabhi kisi cheez ki kami nahi hogi.hum bahut pyaar karenge usse.usne joh Kiya hai hamare liye woh koi aur nahi kar paata.thank u,thank u for everything.she said and hugged her tight .

Mr bhalla too thanked appa for supporting them and promised to keep Ishita happy always.

Everyone was going home when shagun came to Ishita and said-ruhi ke pyaar mein bahut badi galti tumne .u married a loser,tum soch bhi nahi sakti Raman kitna ghatiya hai aur woh kis tarah tumhari zindagi hell bana dega .I have lived with him,so I know him better then u.ek saal,bas ek saal mein tum dobara issi court mein hogi.raman ko divorce dene ke liye and that day I will laugh at u and ur decision.she said making everyone angry when Ishita said-thanks for ur good wishes .I will call u ,when I will come here to divorce raman.ab aap apne Ghar jaiye warna kahin aapke husband aapko divorce naa de dein.for loosing this case.she said and start walking towards the car.

Toshiji-woh jhooth bol rahi hai ,puttar.mera puttar aisa nahi hai.she was just filling ur head with negativity.

Ishita-its ok mummy ji.woh haari hai ,uska gussa jayaz hai .let her be angry ,hum kyun apni Khushi kharab karein.hume ruhi mili hai .

Toshiji-sahi kaha ,puttar.abhi mujhe apni bahu ko welcome bhi karna hai.haaye main mar javaan.i couldn't believe that my son got such a nice girl.khush reh ,puttar.she said and kissed ishita's forehead.

All settled in the car going home while Raman start thinking about the happenings of last night which led to their marriage.

Flashback

Ishita was hugging raman tight all scared while he was also wrapping his arms around her consoling her when there was a truck horn breaking their trance .

They stood apart feeling awkward and Ishita said-i am sorry .

Raman-its ok,u r ok.

Ishita nodded and said-main darr gayi thi.

Raman-toh kisne kaha tha iss raaste par akele aane ke liye .u know it's not safe.

Ishita-toh Kya aapke saath safe hai.raavan Kumar kahin ke.hamesha ladte rehte hai.

Raman-oh really,tumhe toh bachana hi nahi chahiye tha.yeh le ke jao isko.he said looking around.

Ishita-koi nahi hai,sab aapki shakal dekh kar bhaag gaye.

Raman-shakal nahi Dole,u know muscle.

Ishita-muscle,Kahan hai.i can't see.

Raman-i don't know,why I am even arguing with u .Chalo,uss lawyer ke office .dekhna kaise paison ke liye girta hai.

Ishita-i am telling u again.its a bad idea .

Raman-u r coming,yaa main jaaun.

Ishita-chaliye.she said and both start walking.ishita was smiling constantly remembering their hug.

Ishita-his touch is so magical.feel like loosing myself to him.uff kaise control karun khud par,jab yeh itne achche honge.he is still the same,mere achche raman.thoda rude hone ki acting karte hai but caring bhi hai .she was thinking and walking when he pulled her to himself and a car zoomed next to her.

Raman -dekh Kar chalo.

Ishita -i am feeling cold and I am tired too.

Raman-toh main Kya karun??u should have brought something to cover urself.

Ishita-really,aap mujhe khinch Kar baahar le aaye the .u didn't give me any time.she was saying when he give her his coat and said-now stop talking.car thodi dur par park hai.wahan tak chal lo.

Ishita nodded and wrapped his coat around herself taking his fragrance .

Soon they were in his car going towards lawyer's office.ishita was very tired as she was in hospital since morning and couldn't rest,so she kept her head on the headrest and close her eyes.very soon she slept .

Driver stopped the car with a jerk and her head fell off.raman hold her before she fell and she adjusted her head on his shoulder.

Raman look at her and tried to make her sleep a bit away from him but she hide more into him.he stopped trying and smiled slowly patting her slowly when his phone rang.

Raman-haan maa.

Toshiji-where r u,aur Ishita Kahan hai??u took her with u naa??uske parent pareshan ho rahe hai .

Raman-she is with me,perfectly fine .tell them not to worry,we will be back soon.he said and hung the call.

Soon they reach to the lawyer's office and Raman was going alone when Ishita wake up.

Ishita-sorry I slept,woh actually I was very tired.hum pahunch gaye Kya??

Raman-yes,tum yahin raho .I just go and settle the deal.

Ishita-nahi,I am also coming .aap gadbad Kar denge.

Raman-oh please,I know Kya baat karni hoti hai.

Ishita-that I can see,she said looking at his wounded hand .

Both went to lawyer's office and was about to enter his cabin when they saw ashgun there.

Lawyer-yeh bahut achcha saboot hai,isse hum Raman bhalla ko voilent prove Kar denge aur phir aap logon ko custudy easily mil jayegi .he said making ishra shocked.

Ashok-issliye hi toh Maine Raman ko provoke Kiya tha,iski ek copy tum rakho ,ek hum rakhenge.i can't anyone for this.

Lawyer-as u say,but ab koi bhi aap logon ko yeh custody case jeetne se nahi rok sakta.court kabhi itne voilent insaan ko custudy nahi degi .he said and they laughed while ishra were shocked.

Raman's eyes got filled instantly and he went out while Ishita too ran behind him.

Ishita came out and look around but Raman was nowhere .Ishita asked from driver about Raman and he showed her the way.

Ishita went and saw Raman sitting on a bench hugging his legs tight hiding his face.

Seeing him like that she guessed that he is sad,may be crying too,not sure as he hardly show his emotional side to anyone.

She went to him and slowly caressed his hair fearing his reaction when he raised his head and said holding her hand-please bacha lo,Meri ruhi ko .I can't see her going away.he said almost in a broken voice .

She went close to him and said-kuch nahi hoga ,raman.everything will be fine.

Raman-main nahi jee paaunga uske bina.i will die,dekho mera dil kitni tez dhadak raha hai ,just thinking about her going .please don't let her go,please save her,please stop her.mera koi nahi uske bina.he said keeping her hand on his chest .

She was trying console him but he was very vulnerable,at last she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight.

Ishita-shh Raman,stop crying.i promise main ruhi ko kahin nahi jaane dungi.chahe mujhe kuch bhi karna pade ,main ruhi ko aapse alag nahi hone dungi .

Raman didn't said anything just trying to believe her words while she was also thinking how to handle the situation .

They were lost in their thoughts when his phone rang and he broke the hug.he picked the phone and said-we r coming.

Soon they were on the way to their house lost in their thoughts .

Soon they reach home and Raman went to his room.seeing him all lost their parents asked the reason.ishita told everything to them making them shocked.

Ishita-mujhe nahi pata hum kaise karenge but we have to do it .Hume kaise ruhi ki custudy jeetni hogi .it's very essential for keep Raman not only happy but breathing.woh jaan hai unki and he really can't survive without her.

Toshiji cried hearing Ishita and said-what we will do now??

Appa-wahin joh decide Kiya tha,let them get married.he said making everyone look at him.

Appa-i can understand his pain as a father and really want to help u all .aur ab Ishita bhi yahin chahti hai ,then let's do it .he said and everyone nodded.

Mr bhalla went to talk to Raman to which he replied that he only wants ruhi and can do anything for it .

So all decided that ishra will get married before the court proceedings starts .

Next morning,appa-amma took ishra to temple and get them married while Mr and Mrs bhalla took ruhi for court as someone has to be present there from their side.

Flashback end

Raman look at ishru who were sitting hugging each other and thought-shayad ab meri beti mujhse kabhi dur nahi jayegi.

That's all for now,enjoy .pretty long update,want long comments.

PS-i have removed few buddies from my list as they were inactive from long,if I removed someone who wanted pm of my stories,then a big sorry for that.u people can send me buddy request again.

PART 14

Ishita was standing there trying to hide her tears while Amma was still holding raman's hand waiting for his promise.

Amma-bolo naa Raman,tum meri beti ko khush rakhoge naa.issliye nahi keh rahi kyunki usne tum logon ki help ki hai but issliye umeed Kar rahi hoon kyunki ab tum uske pati ho aur uski khushiyan tumse judi hai .she was saying when Ishita put her phone on her ear not able to hold her tears and said-haan hello,yahan network nahi aa raha,saying so she went out to compose herself.

Raman look at Ishita and could feel difference in her voice when Amma said again-i am asking something,raman.at least say something ,she said again when Raman said-sorry for keep u waiting,ofcourse aunty ,I will surely take care of her happiness.usse Meri wajah se kabhi koi takleef nahi hogi.i will try my best to keep her happy .he said making her parent happy.

Amma-god bless u kanna.mujhe pata tha tum achche ho ,hamari beti ka khayal rakhoge.and don't call me aunty,call me Amma.sorry for taking so much time.

Raman-its ok Amma,aapka haq hai.he said and went out to look for Ishita but she was nowhere.

Raman-kahan gayi yeh,and why her voice wasn't normal.was she crying,but why??he said looking for Ishita but she was nowhere.

He went back to his room and sat on the bed.he look at his packed luggage and then remembered his promise to her mother.

Raman-kya karun,Ishita yeh Ishita ek mystery ki tarah kyun hai.pata nahi kyun usse dekh kar ek ajeeb si feeling aati hai,jaise jaise jaise pata nahi Kya,I can't describe what I feel ,but I definitely feel something very strong for her,it's not love,nor affection ,but something very strong,joh main mehsus toh Kar paata hoon but samajh nahi paata.issi ehsaas se dur bhaagna chah raha tha,but I think ab bhaag nahi paaunga,uski Amma ko promise joh Kar diya hai usse khush rakhne ka,and for that I have to stay back.nahi jaanta kyun par uska chahra utar gaya tha mere jaane ki news sunn kar.he was thinking when his eyes fell on the door ,ruhi was standing on the door with moist eyes.

Raman-ruhi,what happened bachcha,aap ro kyun rahen hai??he asked ruhi and she turned to go.

Raman got up and hold ruhi .

Raman-kya hua,aap bhaag kyun rahi ho??

Ruhi didn't said anything but cried.raman picked her in his arms and said-kya hua,ruhi??

Ruhi look at him and asked-aap jaa rahen ho naa??

Raman looked at her when she said-pinki ke papa usse bahut pyaar karte hai,usse kabhi bhi akela chod kar nahi jaate,aap mujhse pyaar kyun nahi karte ,papa.meri Kya galti hai??h

She asked with innocently while Raman was shocked hearing such straight question from ruhi.

Ruhi-i know I told u that now I can live happily with mumma,but I need u also ,papa.mujhe aapki bhi zarurat hai,please ruhi ko chod kar mat jao,ruhi wahin karegi joh aapko achcha lage,aap please ruhi ko chod kar mat jao.she said keeping her head on his shoulder.

On other hand,Ishita was crying in her room when she heard,why u r crying now??

Ishita look around and saw her mirror image .

Her soul-why u r crying now??

Ishita-raman jaa rahen hai,Raman phir mujhe chod kar jaa rahen hai.

Soul-and u r letting him go.pichli baar jaane diya tha kyunki unki ek family thi,biwi thi bachcha tha,but why now.ab toh woh tumhara pati hai,unki bachchi tumhari bachchi hai.he is ur family ,ur husband,iss baar usse jaane mat dein,love him with all ur love.show him all ur love,shower all ur love on him.

Ishita was just listening to her soul words and said-yes,u r right .main Raman ko iss baar khud se dur jaane nahi dungi.woh har baar mujhe apne pyaar ke liye tarasta chod kar nahi jaa sakte.woh mere paas rahenge tabhi toh main unhe bata paaungi ki main pyaar karti hoon unse.haan yahin sahi hai,main unhe jaane nahi dungi aur agar puchenge ki kyun rok rahi hoon toh sach bata dungi.agar pyaar karne ki himmat ki hai joh izhaar karne ki bhi himmat karni padegi.chahe joh bhi ho,I will not let him go.she said with determination and wiped her tears.

She got off the bed and ran to bhalla house and then to his room.she entered his room all determined to stop him ,but stopped hearing raman's words.

Raman-promise ruhi,ab main aapko chod kar kahin nahi jaaunga.aap nahi chahti naa ki papa Mumbai wapas jaaye,then trust me papa is not going anywhere.he said smiling making ruhi smile along with Ishita.

Both got happy hearing him and ruhi said-sachchi papa,aap nahi jaayenge??

Raman-no bachcha,papa did very wrong with u since long,but not anymore.tumhe ab woh har kuch milega jiski tum haqdaar ho.got it ,my little princess,he said pinching ruhi's nose .she giggled and hugged Raman tight.

Ishita was just looking at ruman from the door when his eyes fell on Ishita.

He called her to him and she walked to ruman.

Raman-nahi jaa raha main Mumbai .happy??he asked to which Ishita nodded in yes and before he can say anything ,she hugged him tight.

Raman got startled by her sudden action ,not knowing how to react when she rested her head on his chest and said-thank u.

He couldn't stop but smile at her gesture.

Ruhi hugged ishra and said-ruhi ke mumma-papa saath saath,ruhi ki family,happy family.she said wrapping ishra in her little arms.

Ishita kissed her cheek and said-yes,ruhi ki family ,happy family.

Raman smiled seeing ishru smiling while they continued to hug Raman.

They were lost in each other when toshiji came saying,arey Ishita puttar Ghar aayi Kya,she was saying but stopped seeing ishraruh together.

She came to them and kissed ruhi's temple,then ishita's and then raman's.

Toshiji-matarani tum logon ko hamesha khush rakhen,Ishita puttar,bahut takleef sahi hai mere Raman aur ruhi puttar ne,aur ab inki Khushi ki zimmedari teri hai .tujhe apni iss family ka bahut khayal rakhna hai.

Ishita -main apni puri family ka bahut khayal rakhungi .she said smiling and toshiji said-khush reh ,puttar.main keh rahi thi ki agar tu Kal Khali ho ,toh teri muh dikhayi karwa doon.

Ishita-is it necessary,I mean sabne dekha hai mujhe.

Toshiji-iyer sahab ki beti ko dekha hai naa,bhalla ji ki bahu ko nahi.waise bhi Meri bahu inni sonni hai,mujhe sabko jalana hai.

Ishita smiled hearing her and said-jaisa aapko thik lage,main chutti le lungi Kal ,but agar koi emergency ho gayi toh mujhe jaana hoga .

Toshiji-that I understand,tera kaam sabse important hai.toh main Kal ke arrangement Kar leti hoon.

Ishita nodded and said-main kuch help karun aapki??

Toshiji-not now,teri rasoi chuyai ki rasam ke baad.abhi tu apna samaan set Kar le.

Ishita-i don't have much clothes,u didn't let me go and bring from amma's house.

Toshiji-ohh yes,Raman tu Kal Ishita ke saath jaa Kar uske liye kuch kapde kharid laana.

Raman-main,but kyun??

Toshiji-kyunki uske paas kapde nahi hai.kyunki teri Shaadi itni jaldi mein hui ki hum kuch kharid nahi paaye uske liye,aur kyunki woh teri biwi hai.samjha tu,so u guys r going to shop some clothes for Ishita,ruhi ko bhi le jaana usse achcha lagega.

Raman-main nahi jaane wala,aap chale jao.mera card le jao ,I can't handle this shopping .

Toshiji-puch nahi rahi,bata rahi hoon.u have to go and choose some really nice clothes and saree for her.she said and went while Raman was making a face.

Ruhi-kya hua papa,aapko mere aur mumma ke saath ghoomi jaane mein problem hai??

Raman look at her and said-no beta,we will go tomorrow.now go and play.

Ruhi-ok papa,she said and went happily.

Raman look at Ishita and she asked-what??

Raman-i am not going to share my stuff,tum apne liye naya cupboard le lena.

Ishita-kyun,and where we will keep that cupboard.yahan jagah kahan hai.

Raman-ruhi ke kamre mein rakh lena,infact u can stay there also.

Ishita look at him and said-ji nahi,main aapke kamre mein rahungi aur aapka hi cupboard use karungi .

Raman-but why??

Ishita-kyunki Maine Shaadi aapse ki hai ,ruhi se nahi.

Raman-but we got married for ruhi.

Ishita-aapne ruhi ke liye Shaadi ki hai,Maine nahi.maine aapse Shaadi,she was saying but stopped realising what she is about to spill .

Raman-kiske liye ki hai??

Ishita-mujhe kaam hai,she said and was running out but he was fast enough to get a hold on her.he held her hand and said-bolo Kya keh rahi thi,ruhi ke liye Shaadi nahi ki,toh kyun ki hai.tell me Ishita??he said while she was struggling to free her hand.

Ishita-raman chodiye mujhe,u r hurting me.

Raman-then tell me the truth,kis liye Shaadi ki tumne mujhse.he was saying while she was just struggling when he pulled her to him grabbing her waist and said-ishita,look at me and answer.kis liye Shaadi ki hai tumne mujhse,he said and she looked at him.their eyes met each other's and got locked .

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 19

Raman was standing holding Ishita while she was just looking at him.she couldn't believe that somebody is actually standing for her and that too, Raman.

Ishita-maine hamesha aapse pyaar Kiya ,Raman aur aaj mere saath khade ho kar aapne yeh saabit Kar diya ki Maine koi galti nahi ki.thank u Raman for standing by me in my most difficult time.she was looking at him when a lady said-we r talking about ur good only,if u don't want kids then who r we to be concerned.

Raman-exactly my point,agar mujhe meri biwi mein koi kami nahi dikhti toh aap log kyun usse aur hume pareshan kar rahe hai.u r here to bless her,do ur job and go.please don't hurt her or anyone .it's my humble request.

Toshiji-sahi kaha puttar,hume Ishita puttar se koi shikayat nahi hai toh aap log bhi usse hurt naa kare.usse Khushi Khushi aashirwad de .

Ruhi-haan aunty,Meri mumma bahut achchi hai unhe please hurt mat kijiye.she said cutely making everyone smile.

All apologized for their behaviour and left the place one by one.now only bhallas and Amma was there.amma was looking at Raman so he came to her and said-u wanna say something??

Amma nodded and said-thank u Kanna,Meri ishu ko aaj tak bahut logon ne hurt kiya hai aur woh royi bhi bahut hai iss wajah se, but ab lagta hai ,aur koi usse hurt nahi kar paayega.

Raman-kabhi nahi,I won't let it happen.he said and smiled while Amma blessed her.

Toshiji send Ishita to change and send ruhi with neelu.toshiji and Amma was talking happily .everyone was busy in their respective work while Raman was standing in the balcony thinking about the incident happened.

Raman-kaise woh log Ishita ke baare mein bura bura bol rahi thi.its not right,this is not the way.just because kisi mein koi kami hai,kisi ko bhi yeh haq nahi ho jaata to hurt her.woh log aise kaise insult Kar sakti hai Ishita ko.he was thinking when something strike his mind.

Raman-kisi aur ko kyun kahun,Maine bhi usse hurt kiya tha infertile bolkar.yeh keh Kar ki woh meri ruhi ke peeche padi hai kyunki woh ek banjh hai.i remember how badly she was hurt,uski aankhon mein kitne shikwe the and the way she said,she never expected this from me.kya matlab tha uska.joh bhi ho,I should apologize.waise maafi toh maine maangi thi but Ishita se directly nahi .I think I should apologize to her now.but kaise maafi mangu.it doesn't suits me .kisi se idea le loon.haan ruhi se,woh mujhe jarur achcha suggestion degi.aakhir Meri beti hai,achche ideas toh degi hi.he thought and went to ruhi.

Ruhi was busy in doing her homework when Raman entered the room.

Raman-what u r doing ,baby??

Ruhi-homework Kar rahi hoon,papa.

Raman-main help karun??

Ruhi-ofcourse .

Raman went inside and start helping her while she got happy that Raman is helping her .

After a while,

Raman-achcha ruhi,ek baat puchun??

Ruhi- bolo papa.

Raman-if u hurt someone and want to apologize,toh Kya karna chahiye.

Ruhi-sorry bol dena chahiye,she replied after thinking a while.

Raman-woh toh kehna hi chahiye,but agar sorry bolne ka mann naa Kare,I mean what if somebody feel shy to admit his mistake,then what he should do.

Ruhi thought for a while and said-sorry card de dena chahiye.

Raman-sorry card,sounds interesting.

Ruhi-main banane mein help karun.kisse sorry bolna hai aapko ,papa.

Raman look at her and said-tum samajh gayi that I have to say sorry??

Ruhi nodded in yes.

Raman-i have to say sorry to ur mumma,I hurt her once.

Ruhi-oh ,that's bad papa.mumma toh kitni achchi hai.

Raman-tabhi toh papa soch rahen hai unko thanks bolne ke liye.

Ruhi-good,main aapko paper aur colours deti hoon.aap card bana lo.

Raman-main banaun??

Ruhi-aapne mistaki ki toh aap hi sorry bolenge naa.she said and give him the required things.

He started making but it was getting ruined everytime.after much struggle ,he finally made a nice card.

Raman-hows it??

Ruhi-very pretty.now go and give it to her.she said and he went.

He saw she was nowhere ,so he kept the card on dressing table and went .

Raman-i think ab Ishita samajh jayegi ki main kitna sorry feel Kar raha hoon for hurting her.he thought and went from there.

After half an hour,Ishita came to their room and saw the card.she picked it and read it.

A big sorry was written on it with a smiley face.she smiled and went out.

Everyone was settling for having dinner.

Toshiji-glad u came,I was about to call u.she was saying when Ishita said-thank u for such a lovely card.its really beautiful.

Ruman got happy hearing this and Raman raise his collar hearing her appreciation when Ishita said-but rooh aapne kyun sorry card diya mujhe,aapne kaun si galti ki hai.she said making raman's face fall while ruhi look at Raman.

Ishita-bahut achchi drawing hai betu,bas colouring mein thodi problem hai.koi nahi we will work on it,she was saying while ruhi was smiling seeing Raman and he was making a baby face,signalling her to tell Ishita that he made the card.

Ishita-waise babu aapne yeh corner mein Kya banaya hai ,hathi,she was saying when Ruhi said-actually mumma,yeh card maine nahi papa ne banaya hai .she said making Ishita silent and she look at his parent while Raman was looking annoyed.

Trio look at each other and burst into laughter making Raman more annoyed.

Mr bhalla -yeh tune banaya hai,Raman.kitna bura hai.

Toshiji-iss khote ki drawing bachpan se hi buri hai.

Raman-aap log chup rahiye,ek dum chup .he said in annoyance and all shut up but next moment all start laughing again.

Ishita-waise Raman,I was about to ask ruhi,aap bata dijiye,yeh haathi hai yaa chuha.

Raman-ek kaam karo,Mera card wapas karo.u know u don't deserve my card,he said trying to snatch the card but she didn't gave him .all were laughing making him annoyed ,he start faking calling someone and start shouting on the person.

Raman-u know,it's no point being sorry.some people r thankless here.he said all annoyed while Ishita went to her room laughing.

She look at the card and said-raman ki drawing to ruhi se bhi kharab hai,but he said sorry.but for what,may be for hurting me that day.he is still the same,the same cute guy,Raman ,my raman.she said smiling and hugged the card warmly.

Thats all for now enjoy.

PART 27

Ishita was sitting with ruhi talking to her while ishita's eyes were only on raman.she was trying to read his expression,wanted to be sure that he is not angry on her for hiding this truth and all she could feel that he is not angry but happy and somewhere emotional knowing the truth.

Ishita got happy feeling he is not angry when ruhi said-achcha mumma,jab aap Meri mumma hamesha se thi,toh pehle kyun nahi aayi ruhi ke paas.ruhi was so alone without u.aapko pata hai naa papa bhi ruhi ko chod kar chale gaye the.she said almost crying.

Ishita hugged ruhi tight and said-sorry bachcha,mujhe nahi pata tha ki Meri ruhi itni akeli hai ,warna main bahut pehle aa jaati tumhare paas.

Ruhi-aur jab aap mili ,toh bhi ruhi ko nahi bataya ki aap meri mumma ho.ruhi ko judge aunty se bolna pada ki aapko meri mumma bana de.she said in a complaining tone.

Ishita-mumma apni ruhi ko pehchaan hi nahi paayi thi.toh kaise batati ??

Ruhi-toh aapne mujhe kab pehchana??she asked and Raman too look at Ishita for answer.

Ishita-when I saw ur papa,in court,for the first time.i realised,arey yeh toh meri betu hai,my ruhi.she said cuddling ruhi in her arms.

Ruhi-aww,aap papa ko pehchaan gaye,papa ne toh aapko pehchana hi nahi .

Ishita look at Raman and said-main aapke papa ki tarah buddhu nahi hoon.she said smiling.

Toshiji-toh puttar,tune hume kuch bataya kyun nahi??

Ishita-kya batati mummy ji,ki ruhi ki delivery Maine karwayi thi.aur Raman ne ek baar usse Meri bachchi keh diya and I actually start considering her as mine.yeh batati ,iska Kya matlab tha.woh soch meri thi,sabki nahi.most importantly Raman ki nahi,unhe toh yeh yaad bhi nahi tha.yaad bhi kaise hota,woh pal mere liye important tha,special tha,for him it was one of his act of kindness.toh Kya batati,aur kyun??

Toshiji-yeh toh hai hi khote daa puttar,achchi cheezein bhool jaata hai aur galat baatein yaad rakhta hai.aur sabse buri aadat ,apni problem share nahi karta.uss waqt itna kuch sehta raha akele Mumbai mein,but hume kuch nahi bataya.aur ab akele struggle karta raha,but tujhe kuch nahi bataya.uss shagun ke Ghar chala gaya,but tujhe nahi bataya.bata diya hota toh itna hungama hota hi nahi.she said making Ishita realise that in between all this,she forgot to get angry on Raman for hiding things from her and trying to handle everything alone.

Mr bhalla-achcha chalo,bahut ho gayi baatein.toshiji ,kuch achcha saa banaiye.yeh Khushi ka mauka hai.

Toshiji-haan ji.she said and was going to kitchen when Ishita said-main bhi chalti hoon,mummy ji.

Toshiji-nahi,tu rest kar.tu baahar se aayi aur phir itna kuch ho gaya.u need rest.

Ishita-but mummy ji,she was saying when Ruhi said-dadi Kar lengi ,mumma.aap ruhi ke saath chalo.mujhe aapse bahut saari baatein karni hai.

Ishita-come to my room.mumma aapke liye dher saari gifts aur toys laayi hai.she said and ishru went to ishra room .

Raman was standing in a corner when Mr bhalla came and said-kya hua puttar,bahut chup hai??

Raman-kuch nahi papa,just thinking agar aaj Ishita nahi hoti toh Kya hota??

Mr bhalla-tu aaj ki soch raha hai,yeh soch agar Ishita nahi hoti ,toh shayad hamari ruhi bhi nahi hoti .yeh sach hai ki shagun ne usse janam diya hai,but usse protect Ishita ne kiya hai and u did everything to keep her alive,toh ruhi tumhari aur shagun ki nahi,balki tumhari aur Ishita ki bachchi hai.

Raman-yes papa,u r right.ruhi ,Meri aur Ishita ki bachchi hai.bhale hi woh doctor thi ,but she did everything to save my baby,no our baby.

Mr bhalla-tune sach much usse nahi pehchana ,kitna buddhu hai.he said smiling.

Raman-haan papa,I am indeed an idiot.he said and went to his room and saw Ishita was making ruhi wear new dresses she brought for her.

Ruhi-yeh toh bahut sundar hai,mumma.main dadi ko dikha Kar aaun,aur saare toys bhi.

Ishita nodded and ruhi went happily taking all the dresses and toys.

Ishita was smiling seeing ruhi when Raman entered the room smiling.ishita look at him and all she could remember him all drunk and pleading to shagun.

Ishita-raavan Kumar,uss shagun se help maang sakte hai,but mujhe,apni biwi ko kuch nahi batayenge .mujhe toh baat hi nahi karni inse.she thought and start arranging her cupboard royally ignoring Raman.

Raman-saare gift ruhi ke liye,ruhi ke papa ke liye kuch nahi .he asked trying to start a convo but she didn't answered ,just continued her work.

Raman-i am talking to u.he said and Ishita turn to him.he expected a reply but she just picked her clothes.

Seeing her not replying ,he said-waise woh mera cupboard hai.

Ishita turn and glared him when he said-jiski cheezein use karte hai,usse baat bhi karte hai.

Ishita didn't even give him a glance and continued her work.

Ten minutes passed,Raman was looking at Ishita while she was still busy in arranging the cupboard.seeing her not saying anything,he finally said-tum mujhe ignore kar rahi ho??

Ishita didn't said anything when he get up and walked to her.he held her hand and said-answer me,tum mujhe ignore kar rahi ho??

Ishita look at him and said-nahi,main aapse baat nahi kar rahi.

Raman-but why,Maine Kya Kiya??he asked innocently.

Ishita-really Raman,aap itne buddhu toh nahi hai ki yeh bhi naa samajh paaye ki main kyun gussa hoon.

Raman-main thoda thoda buddhu hoon,please tell me naa why u r angry on me??sabse achche se baat karti ho,bas mujhse hi hamesha gussa rehti ho.its not done .he said making a baby face making her smile at his antics.

Raman-bolo naa,Kya hua??baat Karo naa mujhse,mujhe tumse kitni baatein karni hai.but u r not even looking at me.ruhi se toh itni achche se baat ki,mujhse bhi Karo.atleast tell me what's wrong??

Ishita-kyun karun,kyun bataun aapko kuch,aapne mujhe bataya.itni badi problem,u were struggling alone .mujhe batana jaruri nahi samjha.raman,main biwi hoon aapki,don't u think u should share ur worries with me,ur problems with me.she said making Raman surprised.

Raman-tum issliye gussa ho??

Ishita-nahi hona chahiye.i know aap mujhe biwi nahi maante,sirf ruhi ki maa maante hai,but phir bhi,she was saying when he said-its not like that,Ishita.

Ishita-toh phir kaisa hai,Raman??

Raman-maine socha tum apne kaam se gayi ho,and I shouldn't trouble u.moreover,shagun ko nahi pasand tha,he was saying when Ishita said,main shagun nahi hoon,raman.mujhe aapke wallet se jyada aapke problem aur worries ki chinta hai.i don't know,aap yeh jaante yaa maante hai yaa nahi,but I really love to know ur problems and to be a part of it's solution.she said holding his hand while he was just looking at her.

Ishita-aur main nahi chahti ki aap mujhse apni koi bhi problem chupaye .infact I want u to share ur every worry with me.mujhe Khushi hogi agar aap mujhe apni Zindagi ka hissa samjhenge,koi outsider nahi .she said to which he smiled .

Ishita-sirf has rahen hai,yaa kuch samajh bhi rahen hai.

Raman-buddhu hoon,but itna nahi.he said smiling.

Ishita-then promise me,aap mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chupayenge.

Raman placed his hand on hers and said-kabhi nahi,kabhi bhi nahi .ab toh tum meri problem nahi bhi sunogi naa,main tumhare peeche peeche ghoom kar tumhe sab bataunga .he said smiling making her smile too.

Raman-waise yeh promise tumhe bhi karna chahiye .itni badi baat chupayi .main tumhare saamne tumhari hi baatein karta raha,and u never told me that it was actually u.

Ishita smiled and said-mujhe maza aa raha tha,apni tareef sunne mein.

Raman-waise ek baat bolun,ekdum sachchi wali.

Ishita-boliye??

Raman-tum pehle se bahut khoobsurat ho gayi ho.he said making her blush.

Raman-i mean really,thoda saa weight put on kar liya hai,baal lambe ho gaye hai ,saree pehnne lagi ho aur,

Ishita look at him and asked-aur??

Raman-aur tumhari yeh nose ring,bahut khoobsurat lagti hai tum par.he said tucking her hair behind her ear while she look down blushing hard under his gaze.

Raman-waise ek baat puchun,sach sach bataogi??

Ishita-puchiye??

Raman-woh tum hi thi naa,joh mere liye coffee bhejti thi??

Ishita nodded in yes.

Raman smiled and asked-kyun??

Ishita-kyun ka Kya matlab,mere paas hoti thi aur aap bahut thake hue lagte the,issliye bhej deti thi.kuch galat karti thi Kya??

Raman look down and said-nahi,bahut achcha karti thi,actually u were the only one who use to think so much about me.main sach bahut thak jaata tha and I really wanted it.

Ishita look at him and thought-yes,I saw u all exhausted.how much I wish to go to u and give u my shoulder to sleep wiping away all the sweat ,but mujhe haq nahi tha.she was thinking when he said-achcha tum mujhe hi taadti rehti thi naa??he asked naughtily.

Ishita-ji nahi,kyun??

Raman-arey ,sirf mujhe coffee deti thi,main special tha tabhi naa.

Ishita-aisa kuch nahi hai,koi special nahi the aap,it was just an act of humanity.jaise aapne dikhayi thi,u remember,u gave ur tiffin to me in the lift.jab main phas gayi thi lift mein.

Raman-woh bhi tum hi thi??

Ishita-ji haan,aur woh lady jiski car aapne thik ki thi,yeh keh Kar,a lady should know everything,but it's not essential that she has to do everything.

Raman-oh my God,woh bhi tumhi thi.kya main roz tumse hi takrata tha and see,what a buddhu I am,itni khoobsurat mulakaatein bhool gaya.

Ishita-kaise yaad rakhte,aapki zindagi mein alag hi problems thi.

Raman-yes,actually.shagun has made my life a living hell.achcha,ek baat sach sach bataogi.shagun aur Ashok ka affair tabhi se tha .

Ishita-i can't tell u this,kyunki Maine kabhi unhe saath nahi dekha tha,but yes suna tha.aur waise bhi agar woh ruhi ke birth ke 15 din baad chali gayi ,toh kuch toh raha hoga.

Raman-yes,u r right.u know Ishita,main sach much buddhu tha,nahi actually bewakoof,kuch samajh nahi paaya.aur itna bada dhokha kha gaya.

Ishita-buddhu nahi the,seedhe the,sachche the aur bahut achche the.shagun ne aapko nahi choda,apni achchi kismat ko chod diya.aap jaise log bahut kismat waalon ko milte hai,aur jisse mil jaaye usse kabhi chodna nahi chahiye .she said making him smile .

Raman-now u r exaggerating.itna achcha nahi hoon.remember,I am raavan Kumar.

Ishita-haan ,raavan kumar hai,but achche bhi hai.

Raman -kuch jyada hi taareef Kar rahi ho,achcha lagne lagaa hoon,sweet lagne lagaa hoon.iss raavan Kumar mein tumhe raam nazar aane lagaa hai.ek minute,kahin tumhe mujhse pyaar toh nahi ho gaya hai .he said looking at her making her shocked .

Ishita look down and said-aisa kuch nahi hai,aapki kismat abhi itni achchi nahi hui.she said trying to hide her feelings .

Raman-ki jhansi ki raani ko mujhse pyaar ho jaaye,naa.

Ishita-yes,now let me go.mummy ji akele kaam Kar rahi hongi.she said and was going when he hold her hand.

Ishita turn to him and said-raman,haath chodiye.jaane dijiye mujhe .

Raman-chale jaana,just wanna give u something .

Ishita-i don't want any,she was saying when he cupped her face making her silent and before she could understand anything,he placed his lips on her forehead .she closed her eyes feeling complete bliss while his lips were on her forehead for a longer time waking many new feelings in them.he caressed his hand on her hair while she went more close to him hiding herself into him.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 5

Raman was changing the tyre while Ishita was just looking at him.

Raman-its done.

Ishita-thank u ,thank u for ur help.

Raman just smiled and went his way while Ishita went to her hospital.she works in a big hospital as gynecologist.she was smiling feeling good meeting a good person.

Ishita-he was good,and gentleman too.thinking about Raman she reached her hospital and got busy in her work.

She was busy in checking her patients when a nurse came running and said-maam ,ek emergency case hai.ek pregnant lady stairs se gir gayi hai.

Ishita got up and went to check her.she saw Raman and then shagun who was screaming in pain.

Shagun-i told u mujhe yahan nahi aana but still u bring me here,dekha Kya hua.

Raman-calm down shagun.stop shouting .he was saying when compounders took the stretcher inside.

Ishita went and check on shagun.she gave her injection and came out.

Raman was just waiting impatiently.

Ishita-she is fine,baby is also fine.no need to worry.

Raman-thank u doctor.

Ishita-u can take her after two hours.saying so she went and got busy in her work.

In evening ,Ishita was going back when she heard some noise .she thought to ignore but the sound was much louder so she thought to interrupt .

She was about to enter the cabin when she heard.

Shagun-main kuch nahi jaanti,mujhe treatment yahin karwani hai.

Raman-samajhne ki koshish Karo,it's very expensive hospital.i can't afford it.

Shagun-main kuch nahi sunna chahti.tum mujhe Mumbai laaye yeh keh kar ki tum yahan jyada kamaoge ,still u can't afford to bear my expenses.aaj mera expense nahi utha paa rahe ho ,Kal bachche ka kaise sambhaloge.abort kar doon baby ko Kya.

Raman-yeh Kya keh rahi ho,please don't say like this.

Shagun-then listen carefully ,I will stay with u ,only when u get me treated here.kitna achcha hospital hai.mujhe yahin treatment karani hai bas warna main abortion karwa lungi.she said making raman's face fell.

Raman-thik hai ,main intezaam karta hoon.

Ishita saw this and felt bad for Raman but nothing was in her hand ,so she went .

Raman discharged shagun and paid the bill.he took appointment of ishita for next day and went.

Flashback end

(It for the time being,it will be continued in between)

Ishita-that was the day I met u for the first time and felt bad seeing ur pathetic condition.shagun kitne bure se treat karti thi aapko.kahin naa kahin mujhe pata tha,ki woh sirf aapko use kar rahi hai apne luxuries ke liye but never knew that she can leave u and ruhi for money.usne Ashok Khanna me liye Raman ko chod diya.raman ka boss,aaya tha woh ek do baar shagun ke saath ,Raman ko kaam mein busy karke.mujhe hamesha lagta tha,ki shagun Raman se unreasonable demands sirf issliye karti thi ,taaki woh kaam mein busy rahen aur shagun can spend time with Ashok.but naa shagun ne aur naa hi Raman ne mujhe pehchana.waise toh main kam baar mili thi unn dono se,kyunki shagun ka case dusre doctor ke paas tha,but uski delivery toh Maine hi karwayi thi.they should remember me,yes I was more lean,baal bhi chote chote the ,but still how can they couldn't recognize me.ho sakta hai unhone dhyaan naa diya ho,after all they r disturbed yaa phir expect naa Kiya ho ki main bhi Mumbai chod kar Delhi shift ho gayi hoon.joh bhi ho ,I am feeling bad for Raman and ruhi.mostly ruhi,shagun toh hamesha se achchi nahi thi ,but Raman ko Kya ho gaya.kaise woh itne heartless ho gaye ki apni choti si bachchi ko chod kar chale gaye.aaj bhi kitne rudely baat kar rahe the mujhse,this is not his style.woh toh bahut sweet the,sabse kitni achchi tarah se baat karte the.she said and remembered the day she fell for him.

Flashback

Ishita was sitting in her cabin hiding her face in her palm weeping slowly when Raman entered the cabin and said-doctor,my wife,she is in pain.he was saying but stopped seeing her crying.

Raman-r u ok ,doctor??

Ishita wiped her tears and said-haan ,Kya hua??

Raman-meri biwi,usse labour pain shuru ho gaye hai and her doctor is out of town.can u please,main aapki fees,he was saying when Ishita ran out .

After three hours,Ishita came out and gave little ruhi in raman's arms.she congratulated him and went instructing everyone.

After ten minutes,she was sitting in her cabin when Raman came and said-can I come in??

Ishita-yes sure.

Raman came and sat infront of her .

Ishita-kuch kehna hai aapko??

Raman-yes,I know it's not easy but har kisi ko ek jaisi khushiyan nahi milti.jitna milta hai utne mein hi adjust karna padhta hai.

Ishita look at him all confused when he said-maine padhi aapki report.actually woh gir gayi thi ,main utha raha tha aur padh liya.

Ishita-how dare u ,it's not done.just get out.she said crying.

Raman-i know bahut bada shock hai ki aap kabhi maa nahi ban sakti.but yeh sochiye aapki wajah se kitni lady maa banti hai,aap kitne bachchon ki delivery karwati hai ,infact u give birth to them.toh aap ek tarike se unki maa hi hui.jaise Meri bachchi ,aap help nahi karti toh shayad duniya mein aa hi nahi paati.toh aap hi hai joh isse iss duniya mein laayi hai ,so in a way u r a mother to all the babies u delivered.

Ishita smiled hearing him and said-inn khokali baaton ka koi Matlab nahi .

Raman-i know aapka dukh bahut bada hai and nothing can change it but I am just trying to make u little happy.achcha do one thing,u name my baby.aapne janm diya hai ,aap hi naam dijiye.shayad aapko achcha lage.

Ishita-main??

Raman-yes please.

Ishita-main chahti thi ki kabhi agar Meri beti ho ,main uska naam ruhi rakhun.toh iska naam ruhi rakhti hoon.she said smiling making Raman smile too.

Raman-ruhi,achcha lagaa aapko apna naam babu.he asked to which the baby squeal.

Ishita-she is so cute,thank u very much.

Raman-thank u doctor.main aapki fees pay kar dunga.

Ishita-no need,it's my baby only.aap jaiye.

Raman nodded and went taking ruhi happily.

Flashback end

Ishita-uss din mujhe pata chala tha main kabhi maa nahi ban sakti and u made me a mother that day.shayad issliye hi main ruhi se itna jud gayi.u supported me in the most difficult time of my life ,the way noone supported.mere amma-appa ne bhi mujhe iss tarah himmat nahi di ,jaisi aapne di aur naa chahte hue bhi main aapko chahne lagi.bahut bhoolne ki koshish ki aapki but jab bhi koi mujhe hurt karta ,mujhe baanjh kehta main Mann mein yahin sochti ,ki main maa hoon,unn sab bachchon ki jisse Maine janm diya aur specially ruhi ki.kya hua joh main maa nahi ban sakti,but I made many feel motherhood.yeh ehsaas,yeh sukoon sirf aapki wajah se tha ,raman.but aaj aapko dekh kar mera sukoon khatam kho gaya,kyunki aap takleef mein ho ,Meri ruhi takleef mein hai.nahi samajh mein aa raha ki kaise aap dono ki takleef khatam karungi but karungi.aapko aapki bachchi se dobara milaungi aur aap dono ki zindagi mein khushiyan laaungi.yeh vada hai Mera khud se.she said and closed her eyes and a drop of tear roll down.

She look at her phone and realised its late.she switch on the phone only to see many missed calls,messages from her parent ,even few from bhallas.

Ishita-kya ho raha hai ,why everyone is calling me .Ghar chalti hoon,shayad ab main Raman ko yaad aa gayi hoon.may be his behavior towards me will change.she thought and booked a cab to her home.

After an hour ,she reached her house only to see Mr and Mrs bhalla sitting with her parent along with ruhi while Raman was nowhere .

Ruhi went to her running and said-aap Kahan thi,I was waiting for u.aapne ruhi se promise Kiya tha that u will come soon.

Ishita cupped her face and said kissing her-sorry bachcha.agli baar aisa nahi hoga.

Amma-there will be no next time,kyunki ab tum ruhi se nahi milogi.she said making Ishita shocked while ruhi started crying hearing this.

That's all for now,enjoy.

Author's note-wishing all my lovely readers a very happy holi.enjoy the part.

PART 25

Ishita was calling Raman again and again ,and finally someone picked the call.

Ishita-finally aapne phone uthaya,Kahan hai aap ,raman.i have a surprise for u,she was saying smiling when she heard,surprise toh mere paas bhi hai tumhare liye.

Ishita got confused for a second and then said-shagun tum??

Shagun-wow,kitni achche se meri awaaz pehchanti ho tum .she said making Ishita shocked .

Ishita-shagun,what u r doing with Raman,unka phone tumhare paas kyun hai,aur Raman Kahan hai??she asked in a worried tone.

Shagun-maza aa raha hai tumhe aise pareshan dekh Kar.maine kaha tha naa ,Raman aur ruhi mere hai aur main jab chahun unhe tumse chin sakti hoon.she smirked.

Ishita-just shut up and tell me where is raman.aur agar tumne koi ghatiya khel khela hoga,then trust me ,I will kill u ,shagun.she said in anger.

Shagun-maine kuch nahi Kiya,Raman khud aaya hai,mere Ghar, mere bedroom mein hai,nashe mein dhutt,begging me,she was saying when Ishita said-kitni ghatiya ho tum ,shagun.u r married ,Kya kar rahi ho tum Raman ke saath.

Shagun-main nahi kar rahi,he is doing .come and see,agar himmat hai toh .she said and hung up the call smirking.

Ishita was shocked hearing that Raman is with shagun,that too in her bedroom.though she trust Raman fully but can't trust shagun.she ran out of the airport and took a cab to shagun's house.

Ishita was going impatiently towards shagun's house while her mind was constantly thinking what Raman was doing there.sge thought to call her in laws to know if anything happened but stopped seeing the time.

Ishita-its eleven,they must be sleeping.main khud hi jaa Kar dekhti hoon,but Raman wahan kyun hai.she was thinking and told the driver to fasten the speed praying her almighty to keep her Raman safe.

After half an hour,Ishita reached shagun's mansion and was going inside but the watchman stopped her.

Shagun saw her and signalled the watchman toh get her in.ishita saw shagun,she was sipping wine .she walked inside angrily to the mansion and then upstairs to her bedroom asking the help.

Ishita entered the room and saw Raman was on the floor fully drunk murmuring something while shagun was standing in a corner in ashok's arms.

Ishita ran to raman and held him.

Ishita-raman,Raman,aap yahan Kya kar rahen hai?Raman aankhen kholiye,she said shaking him and could hear him saying,shagun please.

Ishita look at shagun and asked-kya Kiya tumne Raman ke saath??

Shagun-maine kuch nahi Kiya,woh khud aaya yahan.maine toh bas usse sambhala nahi.tabhi ro raha hai mere liye,bahut pyaar joh karta hai mujhse.reh nahi paa raha mere bina,issliye apne pyaar ki bheekh maangne aaya tha. She said and ashgun laughed shamelessly.

Ishita-i know what u r saying is not true,I will find the truth and trust me,then I will not leave u.shw said and held Raman tight in her arms. She took him out of the mansion while he was just murmuring,shagun please,please shagun.

With great difficulty ,Ishita took Raman to the cab and then they went to their house.ishita was just trying to hold him while he was crying in his drunken state and was saying,please shagun.

Ishita wasn't understanding what went wrong but hearing shagun's name from his mouth was making her heart bleed.

After an hour,they reached home .Ishita paid the fare and took Raman to their house.she open the door with keys not wanting his parent to see him like this .she made Raman sleep on the bed,she removed his shoes and socks while he was still crying taking shagun's name ,breaking her control.she ran to the washroom and burst into tears.she cried loudly not able to handle the pain she was going through .the pain of seeing Raman in shagun's room and crying for her.though she wanted to believe that there is more to the story but wasn't in sense to think something rational.all she could remember was him crying for her,almost begging for her.

She hide her face in her palm and said crying-kyun Raman kyun,Kya ho gaya aisa,ki aap uske liye itna tadap rahe hai.sab kuch thik chal raha tha hamare beech,I was thinking that very soon ,we will together in every sense,toh aakhir Kya ho gaya aisa ki aap aise badal gaye.kya hua Raman,ki aap uss shagun ke pass chale gaye .aakhir Kya ho gaya iss ek hafte mein .she said and start thinking about the happenings of last week.

Flashback

Ishita was happily arranging the room for raman's arrival when her phone beep.she saw a mail notification and start reading it.she got happy reading it but next moment she got sad.she thought for a while and then called Raman.

He picked her call and said-bas nikalne wala hoon,he was saying when Ishita said-kuch bolna tha.

Raman stop in mid and said-haan bolo .

Ishita-ek medical conference hai,jisme mera research work read hone wala hai aur shayad appreciate bhi hoga.she said making Raman happy.

Raman-thats so good, congratulations.

Ishita-thank u,she said meekly.

Raman-arent u happy about it??

Ishita-i am,but conference Chennai mein hai issliye mujhe ek week ke liye Chennai jaana hoga .she said making his face fell too.

Raman -ok,main aa jaata hoon,phir chale jaana.

Ishita-nahi,I have to leave as soon as possible.shayaad hum naa mil paaye.

Raman-toh Kya hua,tum jab wapas aaogi tab mil lenge.itni badi opportunity hai,ur hard work is about to pay out.go grab the opportunity.

Ishita-aapko bura nahi lagega,main nahi rahungi jab aap aayenge.

Raman-not a big deal ishita.bahut badi opportunity hai,tum jao .

Ishita-sachchi,u will be fine.

Raman-absolutely.mera kaam important hai toh tumhara bhi utna hi important hai.sabko bata do aur jao,I will be home till evening.

Ishita-ok,thank u Raman for understanding me.

Raman-thats what life partners do.congratulations again.

Ishita-thank u.

Raman-now I will be waiting for u.he said and both hung up the call .

After that Ishita went to Chennai after taking everyone's permission.raman came back in the evening.

Next day,Ishita read her paper work and got appreciated.she was very happy,she called and told everyone about it.slowly time start passing,at first ishra were talking everyday but slowly their talk lessen.raman was always seemed tensed but whenever she asked him,he said it's about business.ishita too didn't thought too much as she was busy in her conference.

Tonight,she came back and was calling Raman to surprise him but got shocked hearing shagun.

Flashback end

Ishita-kya ho gaya iss ek week mein ,ki Raman phir se shagun ke paas chale gaye.kahin shagun ne apni adayein dikha kar unhe seduce toh nahi Kiya.but Raman toh bahut loyal hai.but shagun se loyal the, tujhse nahi,coz he loved her,not u. Mujhe shagun ko challenge karna hi nahi chahiye tha .ab agar Raman ne mujhe chod diya toh main toh mar hi jaaungi ,nahi jee paaungi.itne saal se unse pyaar karti hoon ,but kisi tarah jee rahi thi.iss tarah unko paa Kar kho dungi toh nahi jee paaungi,mar hi jaaungi .please Raman,mere saath aisa mat kijiyega.please don't leave me .she was saying and crying and don't know when she slept lost in her thoughts.

Next morning,Raman got up with a heavy head.he held his head and look around.

Raman-yeh toh mera kamra hai,main yahan kaise aaya. Main toh shagun ke Ghar mein tha.papa laaye Kya mujhe yahan.he thought and went outside only to know from neelu that Mr and Mrs bhalla has gone out for some puja with ruhi.

Raman called his father and Mr bhalla said-we have arranged a puja so that everything will be fine.

Raman-but we have to ,he was saying when Mr bhalla said-dont worry,we will reach there on time.saying so he hung up the call.

Raman-papa nahi laaye,toh kaun laaya mujhe,he went to washroom thinking and got shocked seeing Ishita sitting on the floor.

Raman went to her and said-ishita,Ishita,tum yahan Kya kar rahi ho ??get up ,he said shaking Ishita and she wake up .

Raman-tum yahan Kya kar rahi ho??

Ishita remembered how he was crying for shagun and got angry.she get up and said-aapse Matlab,aap jaiye apni shagun ke paas.she said making him realise that she took him from there.

Raman-ishita,suno toh.he said holding her hand .

Ishita -just go to her,she said pushing him and lost her balanced.she was about to fall when he held her .he hold the knob to balance them and it got switched on making them wet.

He was looking at her and so was she,his hand was on her waist while her hand was on his shirt ,both were looking at each other while cold water was wetting them.he pulled her closer and make her stand very close to him.she was just looking at him when he caressed her cheek.she closed her eyes feeling his touch ,when she remembered his last night condition.her reaction changed and she jerked his hand.

Raman hold her again and she said-let me go ,Raman.

Raman-i can explain,Ishita .he said and she turned to him in anger.

Ishita-toh bataiye ,Raman.bataiye mujhe,kyunki main nahi jaanti,nahi jaanti ki Kya hai usme joh aap aaj bhi itna pyaar karte hai usse.kya hai usme joh aaj bhi aap kisi aur ke baare mein nahi soch paate.main biwi hoon aapki Raman,aap kyun the uske paas.uske liye ro rahe the,u were begging her,kyun aisa kar rahe the,tell me,please answer me.she said almost crying when he hugged her tight and said-i am sorry,I know u must be hurt seeing me with her,but cheezein waise nahi hai jaisa tum soch rahi ho.

Ishita-main soch hi nahi paa rahi hoon ,raman.mujhe laga tha,hum mein kuch hai,shagun nahi hai hamare beech,aapke dil mein.but I was wrong,I was just so wrong.

Raman-its not about shagun,it's about ruhi .he said making Ishita shocked.

Ishita break the hug hearing him and look at him when he said-she is taking away my baby,again.he said while his eyes got filled saying so.

Ishita-ruhi,kaise.kya hua,tell me everything.she said and Raman said-baahar chalo.

Both went out and sat on the bed.

Ishita-kya hua hai??

Raman-jab shagun four month pregnant thi,toh uski haalat bahut kharab ho gayi thi .the baby wasn't growing and shagun was literally dying .toh shagun ko bachane ke liye ,we have to opt for abortion.trust me Ishita,it was the most difficult choice to make.i have to choose to kill my baby,but with heavy heart,Maine unn abortion papers par sign Kar diya ,but inside I was dying .he said making Ishita remember the incident.

Ishita-haan toh??

Raman-main bahut roya tha,bhagwaan se bahut minnat ki,mere bachche ko bacha le.aur shayad Meri prayer se,yaa pata nahi kaise,but sab thik ho gaya.shagun bhi thik ho gayi,Meri ruhi bhi grow karne lagi.

Ishita-toh,whats now??

Raman-shagun ne woh abortion papers court mein jama Kiya hai,that I never wanted ruhi ,issliye usse ruhi ki custudy mil jaaye.

Ishita-aapne court ko sach nahi bataya??

Raman-bataya,but prove nahi kar paaya.hospital records mein aisi koi baat nahi likhi hai.i think they have tampared the records.toh ab main prove nahi kar paa raha that I love my ruhi,I never wanted to abort her .aur agar main prove nahi kar paaya,toh court Meri ruhi ki custudy shagun ko de dega .and u know what's the worst thing,ruhi bhi mujhse baat nahi kar rahi .she thinks her papa never loved her.ruhi mujhse dur jaa rahi hai Ishita and I can't save her .he said and burst into tears while Ishita hugged him to console her.

Ishita-itna kuch ho gaya,aapne mujhe kuch kyun nahi bataya??

Raman-tum busy thi,moreover what u can do in this,I was trying every mean to stop all this.teen din se lagatar court hearing ho rahi hai,aaj usse ruhi ki custudy mil jayegi.kal raat,jab kuch option nahi sujha,I thought to go to shagun and plead,almost beg to her,ki please shagun,Meri beti mujhe wapas Kar do.i know ,yeh Meri haar hai uske saamne but apni beti ke liye main kuch bhi Kar sakta hoon,shagun ke pairon mein gir bhi sakta hoon.he cried.

Ishita-stop crying,raman.hum apni ruhi ko kahin nahi jaane denge.

Raman look at her and said-tum kuch Kar sakti ho??

Ishita-trust me,ruhi kahin nahi jayegi.

Raman-please save her,Ishita .main mar jaaunga agar ruhi mujhse alag ho gayi .Meri bachchi mujhse baat nahi kar rahi.he cried.

She kissed his hair and said-sab thik ho jayega,ready ho jaiye .aaj shagun ko haarna hai.she said wiping his tears.

After an hour,Raman got ready and Ishita said-aap court pahunchiye,main aadhe ghante mein aa rahi hoon.

Raman-but aaj verdict ,

Ishita cut him and said-trust me,verdict hamare favour mein hoga .

Raman nodded and went .

In court,Raman was sitting with his parent all worried while ruhi was sitting in the corner chair not even looking at raman.raman was trying to talk to her but she was avoiding him making ashgun happy .

Shagun's lawyer-ur honour,pura case aaine ki tarah saaf hai.mr bhalla never wanted this baby,tabhi unhone paida hone ke baad bhi ruhi ko time nahi diya .her mother wants the custudy ,aap please baby ruhi ki custudy Mrs shagun Khanna ko de dijiye.

Judge nodded and was about to give the judgement when Ishita entered the court and said-sorry to interrupt ,but I wanna say something before ur judgement ,ur honour .

Judge-joh bhi kehna hai witness box mein aa Kar kahiye.

Ishita walked into the witness box while everyone was thinking what she was about to say.

Ishita-ur honour,I want to tell the court the circumstances under which Mr Raman bhalla signed those abortion papers.she was saying when shagun's lawyer said-yes,we know about the situation.ek imaginative story hai woh,jiska koi proof nahi,so u better not talk about it.

Ishita-proof hai,she said and gave a file .

Ishita-yeh hai Mrs shagun ki case file .isme saaf saaf likha hai,ki jab woh four months pregnant thi,unki tabiyat kharab ho gayi thi,foetus bhi grow nahi kar raha tha.infact the foetus was dying,so to save Mrs shagun,doctor suggested for abortion.aur Mrs shagun ki jaan bachane ke liye Mr bhalla ne unn abortion papers par sign Kiya tha,just to save her .she said making bhallas happy while ashgun were thinking from where she got the papers.

Judge checked the papers and said-its clear,that to save Mrs shagun's life ,Mr bhalla had to sign these papers.toh yeh paper ab tak court mein present kyun nahi hue the.

Ishita-kyunki kisi ne isse hospital ke record se hata diya tha.aur yeh kaun Kar sakta hai,it's not a rocket science to guess.

Shagun's lawyer-my client didn't do anything??

Ishita-maine kisi ka naam nahi liya.

Shagun's lawyer-achcha,toh answer me agar mere client ne record change karwa diye toh yeh paper aapko kaise mila.

Ishita-yeh mere personal collection se hai.main apne har patient ki details apne paas rakhti hoon.she said making everyone confused.

Shagun's lawyer-what does it mean??

Ishita-it means ki Mrs shagun ki doctor main hoon,joh yeh abortion karne wali thi.u can check my signature on the papers.she said making everyone hell shocked with the revealation.

That's all for now,enjoy.

Ps-pretty long update,give long comments to get next part soon.

PART 4

Ishita was smiling fully seeing Raman ,when he came inside the court and said-sorry for being late,ur honour.my flight got delayed.

Judge-u please settle down,so that the proceedings can be taken forward.she said to which Raman nodded and sat next to toshiji glaring shagun,who was frustrated seeing Raman in the court.

Ishita,who was looking at Raman continuously,look at the direction and realised-yeh shagun hai,haan tabhi yeh mujhe jaani pehchani lag rahi thi.iska matlab Raman aur shagun ab saath nahi hai.they r separated and now shagun want to snatch ruhi from raman.main aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi,I will not let her snatch anything from raman.she thought looking at Raman.

He was sitting making a straight face,he was wearing a three piece suit and spects.

Ishita-he is looking so serious,pehle se smart bhi lag rahe hai.look change ho gaya hai thode se,but woh khud kabhi nahi badal sakte.i am sure ,he is still the same happy and simple guy.but woh ruhi se milne kyun nahi aate,itne Kya busy the.lagta hai mujhe samjhana hoga.she was lost in her thoughts when she heard shagun's lawyer claiming Raman as an irresponsible father and shagun should be given a fair chance to take care of ruhi.

Bhalla's lawyer-sorry to interrupt ur honour,but why she is asking a chance when she herself left her daughter years ago.main adalat ko batana chahunga that Mrs shagun bhalla,now Mrs shagun Khanna left her husband and daughter when ruhi was just fifteen days old .he said making Ishita shocked .

Ishita-shagun left just after fifteen days .woh hamesha se ghatiya thi,but how can she leave her baby like this,kitni ghatiya ho shagun.she thought when she heard shagun's lawyer saying-mrs Khanna ko apni galti ka ehsaas hai,that's why she want her baby to take care of her.aur waise bhi agar Mrs Khanna ne ruhi ko chod diya,then Mr bhalla too did the same.he is living in Mumbai leaving ruhi since ruhi was just a month old.toh ruhi ka khayal Mr bhalla ne bhi nahi rakha hai ,ruhi was living with her grandparents,that's why now Mrs Khanna want ruhi with herself and being a mother it's her right to have her baby.he said making Ishita look at Raman with utter shock .she couldn't believe that Raman too left ruhi when she was just one month old.

Ishita-how can u do this,raman.aapne ruhi ko kaise akela kar diya.aap toh itna pyaar karte the ruhi se.i remember how happy u were the day ruhi was born.she thought remembering that day.

Flashback

Ishita gave little ruhi to raman's hand and said-congratulations,beti hui hai.

Raman smiled fully and said-thank u doctor,aap nahi jaanti aapne kitni badi Khushi di hai mujhe,thank u so much.

Ishita smiled and said-no need to say thanks,it's my job.ur wife will be shifted soon.she said and was going inside looking at Raman who was busy in hugging,kissing ,loving little ruhi.

Flashback end

Ishita-aap kitne khush the,aap kaise ruhi ko iss tarah akele chod sakte hai.she was thinking when she heard both the sides of lawyer arguing and keeping their stance.

Shagun's lawyer-i think court should give a fair chance to Mrs Khanna,waise bhi she is married now .she can give more stable life to ruhi.

Bhalla's lawyer-but the person is not ruhi's original father.

Shagun's lawyer-but Mr Khanna is ready to adopt ruhi legally.waise bhi Mr bhalla is all into making money,he is not at all concerned about his daughter.

Judge-listening to both sides,I think Mrs Khanna should get a fair chance,she was saying when ruhi got up and said-judge aunty,aap mujhse nahi puchengi ki mujhe kiske paas rehna hai.

Everyone look at little ruhi when she said-if it's about me,I should also be questioned naa.she said innocently.

Judge-aap aao beta.she said and ruhi went to the box while every eyes were fixed on ruhi.

Judge-aap kiske saath rehna chahti ho,mumma ke saath yaa papa ke saath??

Ruhi cried and said-woh dono mujhe pyaar nahi karte,mujhe chod kar chale gaye.i don't want to live with them.she said making shagun angry while Raman eyes got filled hearing this which he wiped in a jiffy.

Judge-toh kiske paas rehna chahti ho,she was asking when bhalla's lawyer said-may be with her grandparents.

Judge-dont interrupt.boliye beta,aap kiske saath rehna chahti hai.

Ruhi-ishita aunty ke saath.she said making everyone shocked including Ishita.

Ruhi-woh mujhe bahut pyaar karti hai ,kabhi mujhe sad nahi chodti.mere liye clinic bhi nahi jaati .mere liye hamesha achchi achchi dishes banati hai.pata nahi bhagwaan ji ne unhe meri mumma kyun nahi banaya.but aap bhagwaan ji ki mistake sahi kar dijiye.let me live with Ishita aunty .Ishita aunty,aap mujhe rakhogi naa.she asked looking at Ishita almost crying while Ishita too cried hearing her question.

Ishita opened her arms for ruhi and she came running to Ishita and hugged her tight.

Ruhi was crying while Ishita was just consoling her.

After sometime when ruhi got silent ,judge asked-who is Ishita,aap Kya lagti hai ruhi ki??

Ishita got up and walked to the box.

Ishita-main ruhi ki neighbour hoon.

Judge-so ,u r not ruhi's relative.

Ishita nodded in no.

Judge-aap baith sakti hai.she said and Ishita went to her place.

Judge-court need sometime to take decision after listening ruhi's plea.so the case is adjourned for a week.faisla ek hafte baad sunaya jaayega.tab tak bachchi jahah reh rahi hai,wahin rahegi.she said and took another case.

Ashgun went outside all frustrated while bhallas were still sitting there.

Raman was glaring Ishita coz ruhi was cuddled in her.he walked to her and said-ruhi,Ghar Chalo.

Ruhi looked away and said-main Ishita aunty ke saath aayi thi,unke saath jaaungi.

Ishita-dont talk like this with papa,betu.i told u naa to respect elders .

Raman-oh please,achcha banne ka dong mat kijiye.pata nahi Kya patti padhayi hai Meri beti ko.but main aapki chalne nahi dunga.i know all woman need just one thing,money.just tell me ur rate,I will pay u .and get lost of my daughter's life.he said rudely while Ishita was just looking at him trying to observe him.

He was not the simple man she met years ago.he is changed now,changed into a rude and arrogant person.

Seeing her all lost Raman asked-just tell me ur price damnit.

Ishita-listen Raman,she was saying when Raman said-its Mr bhalla for u.he said making Ishita realise that he don't remember her.

Ishita-raman ko main yaad nahi.haan kaise yaad rahungi.i was nothing more then a doctor to his pregnant wife.main hi thi joh apne emotions par kaabu nahi kar paayi,and fell in love with a married man.she was thinking when Raman said-bologi kuch.

Ishita-dekhiye,I don't need anything.agar kuch de sakte hai toh pyaar dijiye apni beti ko,usse waqt dijiye.so that she don't have to look at others for that.

Raman-oh please,don't preach me.i know how the woman r.i have seen the worst of woman.he said with hatred filled eyes.

Mr bhalla-raman,this is not the place to talk all this .Ghar chalo.ishita puttar tu bhi chal.and I am really sorry for his words.

Ishita-its ok ,uncle .I do understand.his only daughter chosed someone else over him.i can feel his pain.aap log ghar jaiye,main cab le kar clinic jaa rahi hoon.she said and went out of the court without listening their answer while Raman was shocked beyond words that how she knows exactly what he is feeling right now .

Ishita was going out when ruhi held her hand and said-ruhi ke saath nahi chalengi Ishita aunty.

Ishita -aunty ko kaam hai ,babu.u go home,I will come to meet u in the evening.

Ruhi-aap aaogi naa??

Ishita-haan baby,she said and start walking out while Raman was looking at Ishita thinking -isse kaise pata chala,that I am hurt.mujhe takleef hui yeh dekh kar ki ruhi ne mujhe nahi isse chuna.

Ishita turned and thought looking at raman's face,coz I know u inside out.i have been loving u since five years,main aapke sabhi kahe aur ankahe ehsaas pehchaanti hoon,raman.she said and walked out of the court finally.

Raman look at toshiji and asked-who is she,maa??

Toshiji-ghar chal batati hoon.she said and all went towards bhalla house.

Ishita came out of the court and was surrounded by all the moments she spend with raman.all the sweet moments and his gestures was coming infront of her again and again.she wanted to be alone for sometime ,so she switched off her phone and took a cab.she went to her clinic,cancelled all her appointments for the day,took a file with her dairy and went out of the clinic.

She reached out of the city and settled on a lone place .she kept her bag aside and opened the file which reads,Ruhi bhalla.

Ishita opened it and saw sonographies .

Ishita-this was the time I saw u for the first time.i still remember the day ,I saw u for the first time on that screen.ur papa was very thrilled to see u and in place of holding shagun's hand,he was holding mine hand in fear and I was equally thrilled feeling his touch.u know ruhi,I named u ruhi.maine tumhara naam ruhi rakha tha,yes ur papa give me a chance to choose a name for u .woh bahut achche hai ,tabhi toh yeh jaante hue ki woh kabhi mere nahi ho sakte.i still couldn't stop myself from falling in love with him.she said to herself smiling remembering her time with Raman.

Flashback

Around six years ago,Ishita was going to her clinic in her car when her car stopped all of a sudden.

Ishita came out and said-shit ,Tyre puncture.yeh bhi abhi hona tha,I was getting late.she said and start changing the tyre.

She was changing the tyre when a man came in bike and asked removing his helmet-want any help ??

Ishita look at the person ,he was a good looking man in mid thirties.

Ishita-no thanks,I know how to change tyre.she said engrossed in her work.

He came to her and said taking the equipment-its good that a lady knows how to change the tyre,but it's not good that she has to do it .saying so he start changing the tyre while Ishita just smiled hearing his words and could only think,what a gentleman.

That's all for now,enjoy.

PART 8

Raman was going behind Ishita and saw shagun coming out of a car while ishita walked to her.

Raman-oh,toh yeh dono mili hui hai,but agar aisa hota toh shagun ko aaj hi custody mil jaati.may be shagun too came to lure her with money.mujhe sunna chahiye.he thought and hide behind a tree to hear their convo.

Ishita walked to shagun and asked-kyun bulaya mujhe??

Shagun-mujhe aapse request karni thi,aap please court mein mere favour mein statement de dijiye.court ko kahiye ki woh mujhe ruhi ki custody de de.she said making Raman angry.

Ishita-aur main aisa kyun karungi??

Shagun-kyunki aap meri condition samajh sakti hai.aap bhi ek lady hai ,aap samajh sakti hai mujhe kaisa lagta hoga apni beti se dur reh kar.

Ishita-toh aapne usse choda kyun tha,Jahan tak Maine suna hai,u left her when she was only fifteen days old.

Shagun-main Kya bataun,Raman se toh mili hi hai aap.maine dekha kaise chilla raha tha tum par.he was always like that only.mujhe bahut trouble Kiya hai usne ,main Bata nahi sakti kaise din kaate hai Maine uske saath.he use to beat me,agar nahi chodti usse toh shayad maar daalta mujhe.meri majburi thi ruhi ko chodna Raman ke paas.she said faking tears while Ishita remember how shagun use to treat raman while raman's heart filled with hatred for shagun.

Seeing Ishita lost in thoughts ,shagun asked-aap meri help karengi naa??

Ishita-sorry,main isme aapki koi help nahi kar paaungi.saying so she turn to go when shagun said-oh toh tum aise nahi manogi.ok,tab apni keemat batao.jitna bologi utna milega,I just want my daughter.

Ishita-aa gayi apni aukaat par.but mujhe aapse kuch nahi chahiye,bas ek baat ka jawaab de dijiye.aap kyun chahti hai ruhi ko.usse pyaar karti hai issliye yaa phir sirf Mr bhalla ko takleef dene ke liye.

Shagun-thats none of ur business,apni keemat batao.chalo main hi lagati hoon.paanch lakh,I will give u five lakh,tum mere favour mein statement de do.

Ishita-aapko ab jaana chahiye,it's late.

Shagun-ishita,listen to me.main dus lakh dungi.mujhe ruhi chahiye.

Ishita-daam lagane se pehle yeh soch lijiye ki woh koi khilona nahi hai,bachchi hai aapki,Mrs khanna.agar usse jeetna hai toh pyaar se jeetiye,paise se nahi.she said and was going when shagun held her hand and said-ok,25 lakh.isse jyada nahi.

Ishita shrugged her hand and said-its very late,aapke husband intezaar kar rahen honge.and it's not good to always keep ur husband waiting.she said and was going when shagun said-paise nahi chahiye,toh aakhir chahti Kya ho??

Ishita-aap kabhi nahi samjhogi ,ki main Kya chahti hoon ,aur kisse chahti hoon.she said and went inside making shagun and Raman both confused.

Raman-what does she meant,Kya chahti hai woh,paise nahi toh phir Kya,he was thinking while shagun sat in her car and left angrily.

Raman -i have to know ki Ishita Kya chahti hai,paise nahi chahiye usse, toh aakhir Kya??he thought and went behind Ishita.

Ishita was about to enter her house when she felt hold on her hand.she turned in anger to slap the person but mellow down seeing Raman.

Ishita-aap ,yahan,iss waqt??

Raman-kya chahti ho tum??he said making Ishita confused.she was just looking at him trying to understand what he is saying he held ishita's hand and asked pulling him to her-jawaab do mujhe.aakhir Kya chahti ho tum??he said loudly breaking her trance.

Ishita look at him and said trying to free her hand -chodiye mujhe,Mr bhalla .it's paining.

Raman-nahi,I want answer ,tum kyun aayi ho ruhi ke kareeb,Kya chahti ho humse.shagun aur tumhari baat sunn kar main yeh samajh gaya hoon that u don't want money .then just tell me what u want from us.

Ishita shrugged his hand and said-i am not answerable to u,chodiye mera raasta.she said and was going when Raman remembered the talk of the ladies he heard few minutes ago.

Flashback

Lady 1-suna tumne,toshiji Ishita ka haath mangne gayi thi apne bete ke liye.

Lady 2-achcha,toh woh log maan gaye??

Lady1-pata nahi,but maan hi jaayenge,aakhir Ishita baanjh joh hai.bechari usse bhi ek bachchi mil jayegi aur ruhi ko maa.she said making Raman shocked.

Flashback end

Ishita was going when she heard raman saying-kahin iska reason yeh toh nahi ki tum baanjh ho.

Ishita turn to him and he said-suna Maine kuch logon ko kahte,that u r behind my daughter kyunki tum khud kabhi maa nahi ban sakti.meri beti mein apni mamta toh nahi dhoondh rahi. Samajh gaya main,tumhe paise nahi chahiye,Meri beti chahiye,yahin baat hai naa.u want a tag of being a mother .issliye hi uske peeche padi hui ho naa.He said rudely making her eyes teary.

Ishita-never expected this from u Raman,thank u for this,thank u for reminding this.she said and went from there without saying another word making Raman feel guilty for his words.

Raman-i think I have hurt her,shayad mujhe aisa nahi kehna chahiye tha.but Kya galat kaha Maine,baanjh hai woh tabhi kaha.he thought and was going to his house but then stopped.

Raman-i shouldn't said that,ho sakta woh ruhi se issliye pyaar karti ho kyunki woh maa nahi ban sakti but isme kuch galat nahi hai.i shouldn't have hurt her.sorry keh doon Kya??but gayi kahan,uska ghar Kahan hai,yahin hai Kya,but she went upstairs.terrace par gayi Kya,should I check.jaa Kar dekhta hoon.hogi toh sorry keh dunga,I think main thoda jyada rude tha.he thought and went to check terrace.

On terrace,Ishita was sitting on the rim of the railing and crying uncontrollably while his words were ringing in her mind,present and past.

Kyunki tum baanjh ho.

Agar aap itne bachchon ko iss duniya mein laati hoon,toh aap baanjh kaise ho sakti hai.

Ishita hide her face in her palm and said-woh nahi hai tere Raman,ishu.unki sirf shakal tere Raman ki hai,but he is not the same person.woh kahin se bhi tere Raman nahi hai.he is not the one,don't cry ,don't feel bad on his words,she was telling to herself trying to console herself but all she could do was to cry.

After sometime she stop trying and start crying again hugging her legs to herself.

Raman came to terrace to search Ishita and saw her crying hugging herself tight.raman was shocked seeing Ishita like this and felt guilty for hurting her to this extent.

Raman walked to her and said slowly-hello,miss.

Ishita look at him and he could see her red and puffy eyes.he felt guilty seeing her like this while she wiped her tears,not wanting to show anyone her vulnerable side.

Ishita-aap please chale jaiye.

Raman-listen ma'am,I am really sorry,main aapko hurt,he couldn't complete as she said-please jaiye,I don't wanna talk.

Raman-ek baar meri,he was saying when Ishita showed her palm and said -sunn liya Maine,aur sunne ki himmat nahi hai.aap please chale jaiye.she said and hide her face in between her legs again.

Raman don't know what to do,she don't want him near her,so he can neither be with her,nor he can leave her alone like that .thinking for sometime ,he sat next to her a little away waiting for her to stop crying while she was sobbing continuously making Raman feel bad.

After sometime,Ishita stop crying but she wasn't moving just sitting .she was lost in her thoughts rubbing herself slowly feeling chilly when she felt someone covering her.she turned and saw Raman covering her with his coat.

She was shocked seeing him there when he said-i think main jyada bol gaya,I am sorry.

Ishita-please leave me alone.

Raman-i am not disturbing,just covering u. It's cold here.

Ishita didn't said anything just sat there while Raman was also sitting there waiting for her to go to her house,so that he can also go back.waiting for her to go,he closed her eyes and soon he slept.

After an hour or so,he got up feeling chilly and look around.

Raman-main yahan kyun so raha hoon,he was thinking when he saw Ishita still sitting hiding in his coat .

Raman-yes,because of her.kitna ro rahi thi,mujhe nahi karna chahiye tha aisa,dekhun ,kahun usse neeche chalne ko .now it's really chilly here.thinking so he went to her and saw her sleeping.

Raman-yeh toh so gayi,Kya karun.chod Kar chala jaun,but it's too cold here. Jaga doon,but woh phir mujhe jaane ko kahegi .ek kaam karta hoon,le chalta hoon neeche.he thought and picked her in his arms .she long hair got open with the jerk and he could see her face clearly for the first time .her fair face has turned pink due to cold while her lips was in dark pink colour.raman was just lost in her beauty while she snuggled into him taking his warmth.

His trance got broke and he took her downstairs.

Downstairs,his parent and ishita's parent were pacing to and fro in tension as ishra were out and nobody knows where they went.

Seeing Raman coming taking Ishita in his arms,everybody came to him and said-ishita ko Kya hua??

Raman dont know what to answer so he just said-she was sleeping in the terrace.main room mein sula doon.he asked to which her parent nodded and showed him the way.

He went inside and saw ruhi sleeping peacefully in ishita's bed.he smiled seeing his little princess and placed Ishita next to her.he covered Ishita and softly pecked ruhi's temple.

Their parents saw this and they smiled.

Toshiji-maine kaha tha naa,Raman bahut achcha hai .he loves ruhi alot.

Amma -appa nodded in affirmation and Raman turn to them.

Raman-aapki beti uthegi toh kahiyega ,I said sorry.he said and went to his house leaving ishru sleeping peacefully while their parents wondered why he said so.

That's all for now,enjoy .
