Ishra were walking together talking randomly while ishita's eyes were on the other couples who were walking. She was seeing the couples walking smiling, laughing, holding hands, some wrapping his partner in his warmth.ishita was just looking around and smiling when she felt someone holding her hand. She look at the person and he said -i told u naa, now we r not alone. We have each other for ourselves. So no need to look around. He said entwining his hands in her. She just smiled and couldn't stop herself from putting her head on his chest. He was bit surprised by her action but felt good. He wrapped his arms around her and both start walking talking again.
After walking for long, they settled on a bench and ishita said -aapko kitna pasina aa raha hai Raman.
Raman -its not sweat, tumhara khilaya hua achcha achcha khana hai. Really I put on much weight these days, it's good I started morning walk, thoda fit bhi ho jaaunga aur hum roz mil bhi lenge. Isn't it great.
Ishita nodded and both talked for some more time ,then ishita said -lets go home, chai peeya jaaye. She said casually while he smiled hearing this.
Ishita -kya hua, aap has kyun rahi hai.
Raman nodded and said- nothing.
Ishita -kuch toh boliye naa.
Raman -nothing, just thinking u r saying home, koi sunega toh sochega we r also a couple, joh apne ghar jaane ki baat kar rahe hai, but sach toh yeh hai naa mere paas koi ghar hai naa tumhare paas. Both of us live in a house not home. Coz both of us r alone ,hamare paas koi aisa nahi hai joh hamare house ko home bana sake.
Ishita looked at him and said -yes ,u r right. We r all alone in our life.
Raman -no we have each other, but, still,
Ishita-we r not home to each other, yahin kehna chahte hai naa.
Raman nodded in yes.
Ishita -but maine zindagi se sikha hai, jitna mila utne mein hi satisfy ho jaana chahiye, jyada ki umeed kabhi kabhi toh thoda bhi khatam kar deti hai.
Raman smiled and nodded in yes.
Ishita -ghar chale ,mere, saath mein chal peeyenge.
Raman nodded and both start walking together towards her house. Both were walking when they heard -wah wah, achcha hai, Sab bhool jaiye mujhe.
Both turned hearing this and saw chuniya standing their with a grumpy face.
Chuniya -maine Aap dono ki friendship karayi aur Aap dono mere bina hi maze kar rahe hai. Morning walk bhi saath saath, morning tea bhi saath saath, breakfast -lunch bhi saath saath aur chunnu ko kya mila, sirf sir ke saath dinner aur didu ke saath toh woh bhi nahi. Apna saara time Ek dusre ko dijiye Aap dono, aur chunnu ko bhool jaiye. She said making a baby face.
Ishra smiled seeing her cute antics and opened their arms for her. She smiled and ran into them. She hugged them and wished them good morning. They too pecked her good morning and soon all were going towards Ishita's house.
They reach home and ishita made tea for them all. They enjoyed it together while chuniya was asking few questions from Raman. Raman was clearing her doubts while ishita was busy in admiring him. She was remembering his words ,that both of them r alone.
Ishita -aapka pata nahi raman, but aapke aa jaane ke baad main akeli nahi hoon. I have u in my life and I am really happy about it. Bas ek khwahish hai ab meri, ki kisi din aisa miracle ho jaayen when u really became my home. I know it's a dream which is literally not possible but Mann hai, bawra mann, aur bawra mann toh koi bhi sapna dekh sakta hai. Bhale hi woh pura naa ho but at least I can be happy thinking about it. She was looking at Raman and was thinking when he shaked her and said -ishita, r u listening.
Her trance got broke and she said -huh, kuch kaha aapne??
Raman -kahan khoyi hui ho.
Ishita -kahin nahi, boliye.
Raman -chunnu ko kuch notes dene hai. I am going home with her. Will u send my breakfast at my place.
Ishita face fell hearing this coz she don't want him to go but she composed herself and said -ok, aap jaiye main bhejwa dungi.
Raman smiled and went with chuniya. Though he too don't want to go without having breakfast but he had to go as the notes she want was very important for her.
Ishita saw them going and went inside. She wasn't feeling good and said -why r u feeling so bad ishita. Raman koi tere toh hai nahi, ki tere paas hamesha rahenge. Unhe teri company achchi lagti hai but that doesn't mean he will be urs. Apne bawre mann ki jyada uncha mat udne de that u will be hurt at the end. Thinking so she sat thinking not to think about him anymore. But couldn't stop herself from thinking about him. She started remembering the time they spend together in park and how he was holding her. She closed her eyes feeling heavenly and start yearning for more of his touches.
She was looking at nowhere thinking about him when the workers start coming and she had to get indulge in work.
Soon she send breakfast for everyone and sat down to relax. She was looking at the phone thinking about him when the phone start ringing. She got happy seeing his number and said -hello.
Raman -hello, kaisi ho.
Ishita -achchi hoon, subah hi toh mili thi.
Raman -tumhe bura lagaa tha naa when I came back without having breakfast with u.
Ishita -nahi aisa toh kuch nahi hai.
Raman -achcha but mujhe toh aisa lagaa, the spark who had in ur eyes was gone suddenly and the smile was also wiped off. So I thought u don't like me going, sorry I think I was over thinking. He said to which she asked -u notice all this changes in me.
Raman -haan kiya tha notice but I think it's because of something else, it wasn't for me. He said disappointed.
Ishita -no, it was for u only. I really don't want u to go. She said and then close her eyes realising what she said.
Ishita -mera matlab woh nahi tha, actually, she was saying when he said -but I wanted to hear this only. Open the door, I am outside.
Ishita -what??
Raman -darwaza kholo, main baahar hoon. He said again and she happily ran to open the door. She opened the door and saw him standing smiling with a small bouquet of flowers.
Ishita couldn't hold her excitement and hugged him. Raman smiled and hugged her back as he was also yearning for all this warmth.
Both hugged each other for long closing their eyes feeling contented.after sometime she realised their position and broke the hug. She look down smiling and said -aap college nahi gaye.
Raman -saare sawaal darwaze par hi puch logi.
Ishita smiled at her foolishness and said -please come.
Raman came inside and ishita saying seeing the flowers-yeh Kiske liye.
Raman -ofcourse for u. He said and forwarded the bouquet to her. She took it happily and made him sit.
Ishita went happily and bring breakfast for themselves.
Raman -why u r serving me, mere liye toh bheja tha naa??
Ishita -woh i thought aapne nahi khaya hoga. Sorry.
Raman smiled and said -maine actually nahi khaya hai.
Ishita smiled and served him and soon both were enjoying their food together. Ishita asked him about his college and he told that he took few days off and they can spend some time together if she want. She agreed instantly and they spend some quality time together watching movies in between her work.
