Next day when Ishita wake up, she saw Payal and Raman with her. Payal talked to her and made her understand that Raman is a nice man and she should marry him while Raman also told her that he will give her ample time to know him and accept him, even if she will not accept him so he will free her from this relationship later but right now he want to marry her to support and protect her from every odds as he is somewhere related to the reason of her sufferings. She was not getting what to do or not but Payal convinced her as her friend and Ishita too agreed just because of her trust on Payal. Raman informed their parents that Ishita is ready. Whole story of Ishita remains between Ishra and Payal only.
Soon their engagement and marriage got fixed and within two months they got married in a grand way. In between two months, Raman tried to make her comfortable with him, both used to meet almost daily and tried to know each other and till their wedding day, both became friends and Ishita was much comfortable with his presence now, even both were taking participate in each and every ritual happily and freely. Raman was happy to see her living freely during their marriage but still falling in love with the other was left for both. On the wedding night, Raman again cleared himself that both will forward in their relationship when both will be comfortable with it. Later when she was sleeping, Raman promised that he will always protect her and will try to give her support, care and love which she never get from her parents till now and remembered what Payal informed him about Ishita that day,
Flashback:-
Payal went with Raman in a room and started telling him,
P-You know what Mr Bhalla, Don't know why but I really felt that you can understand Ishita's pain and can help me in bringing her out of her self made shell around her. Ishita and Aalok are twins. Their parents used to take care of them and love them but they were not able to give sufficient time to them. Still they were happy together, taking care of each other but it changed when they were in 3rd class and one day, they got to know that Ishita is few minutes elder than Aalok and Aalok started calling her Akka/Di with respect. Ishita started taking care of Aalok more and used to give him all love and care like his parent even when she was not getting any parental care too but she didn't let him to feel empty without parents' proper attention. Their bonding grew more stronger with years and it continued till that person came in their lives.
R-Who was that person?
Payal looked at him and said making him shocked,
P-Your sister Simmi.
R-What?
P-Yes, your sister is the reason behind Ishita's current state. After school, Ishita took admission in MBBS while Aalok in bachelor degree. Everything was good but when he started MBA, he met Simmi. Both became friends slowly and started liking each other. Aalok had already told Simmi about Ishita very well, how much Ishita is important in his life and how he shares everything with Ishita, even about them and she never opposed it too. It was Simmi's birthday, Aalok was planning a party for her in a club or something like that but Ishita suggested Aalok to organise the party at Iyer house only as she was not liking to send him with all their friends in which few had bad habits. Aalok happily agreed but Simmi didn't like it and started hating Ishita and her interference in their lives. She started instigating Aalok too against Ishita resulting differences between them and one day she just crossed the limits.
R- Kya kiya Simmi ne?
P-Aalok's friend named Pankaj was not so good person, he used to like Ishita and Simmi knew it. She along with him planned to trouble Ishita and for the same, Simmi sent Pankaj with Aalok at his house giving lame excuses for a night stay and called Aalok out for one hour. She sent him to trouble Ishita but...
R- but? What happened?
P- but it became a massive one. He tried to misbehave with her. She slapped him and as servants were there so he didn't try to do it again but Ishita informed same to Aalok who got angry on Pankaj but Simmi and Pankaj covered it up by a lie that he likes her and was just trying to be a little sweet with her. Aalok believed on Simmi and told Ishita not to stretch the matter unnecessarily, even her parents did the same. That incident hurt Ishita very much and that was starting of her introvert nature...
R-How can you say that it was all done by Simmi?
P-I knew it, you will not believe me like this but it's true. We didn't assume it but me and Ishita heard Simmi and Pankaj's conversation in a caf by our own ears the very next day of that incident when I forcefully took Ishita out to change her mood. Even Simmi admitted everything herself when we confronted her.
R-Ishita tried to commit suicide after that incident only?
P-No.
R-Then?
P-Yes she was too much hurt that her brother and her parents didn't believe her and support her and was trying to live her life alone with her studies and career when another blow hit her which broke her more.
R-What happened?
P-She had just overcome with previous incident after so much time and was concentrating on her career only. After a few years. One evening Mr and Mrs Iyer invited a male client on dinner and again same happened with Ishita which made her condition more worse and she...
R-and she tried to end her life.
P-Yes, one day I was trying to call Ishita but she was not answering, I was very scared and called Aalok but he was out, then I called at landline number and a servant picked the call. She went to call Ishita and saw her cutting her wrist. They reached at right time and tried to stop her like you did today. A senior lady servant somehow managed her and immediately applied the bandage over the small cut. I also came immediately and confronted Ishita. After that I lived with her only to keep an eye on her and to bring her back from that zone. Yes she was independent and modern girl but she was just passed of her family behaviour. Earlier at least she had Aalok as her friend and brother but then she just lost her family completely. She didn't take that step because of the other person but because of her family only. It was very hard for me to make her fine and to get my old Ishita back which I never got. Somehow she moved on in her life making her career her life and thinking of her aim...
R-What's her aim? I'm sure it didn't get fulfilled till now.
P-Yes, because Uncle aunty never gave attention to her aim and career, they were not interested in making her a doctor but didn't force her also to join business. She always wanted to become a cancer specialist.
R-Did she never talk to her parents?
P- She tried a lot of times to talk to her parents and Aalok also but none of them paid much attention and tried to understand her point of view. She even many times tried to go far from here and fulfil her dream on her own but every time she just stopped herself waiting for the day when her family will ask about her feelings and likes. She is just one step away from her aim. Aalok earlier used to consider her aim but now... He is also like his parents. You know what when you all started living here, a fear came inside her because of your presence, that's why she used to avoid you. She can fight with anyone for herself but can't fight with her own family. Even she tried to talk to Aalok that she is not comfortable with your presence but he just shouted on her that its his house and he will do as per his will and that was the day when he called Ishita by her name after so many years hurting her more. And now I understood why he was so eager to keep you all here because he wanted to take advantage of your and Ishita's fixed marriage for his and Simmi's marriage. He didn't think of Ishita's condition even once. Don't know when will she get her share of happiness in her life.
R-From today, she will get only happiness and it's my promise. I will bring your Ishita back to her own self. I promise I will rectify my sister's mistakes. She unknowingly or deliberately made her life hell and I will give her a peaceful and happy life. But for that I will have to marry her and you have to help me in convincing her if you have a little trust on me. I promise I will not hurt her more...
P-I will help you in every possible mean. Can I ask you something?
R-Hmmm
P-Are you marrying her just out of pity or out of love?
R-Neither out of pity nor out of love. Yes before coming here I knew that our parents fixed our marriage but we need to know each other first. So Pyaar Ka to sawal hi nhi uthta. I will not force this relationship on us. We will give proper time to our relationship till her aim got fulfilled and after that she can do whatever she want.
P A marriage just her aim...
Raman Plus her happiness. And you can think it like this but I can get some right to interfere in her life by this only.
P I will help you. I wish you both will have a happy life together forever.
She said looking at him while he looked at her thinking of her words as he himself dont know the future of this relationship. After that both convinced Ishita and Ishra got married.
Flashback ends.
Raman again promised to himself to keep her happy and safe and slept.
