PART 7
Ishita was looking at her students standing around Raman and all were smiling happily,feeling like an honour to have Raman with them.
Seeing her still looking at them Raman said-kuch chahiye kya ,maam??
Ishita look at him and he said-hume free period de diya naa,ab aap jaiye.yaa phir kahin aap bhi toh iss celebration ka hissa nahi banna chahti.
Before ishita can answer the girls said-nahi,hum students ke beech maam ka kya kaam,its between us,naa Raman sir??
Raman smiled and said-ofcourse,maam is qualified enough to enjoy with us.he said taunting her and she walked out of the classroom.
Raman look at all the students and thought-tumhe nahi hai,ishita,but har kisi ko meri kadar hai.aur ab mujhe koi fark nahi padhta ki tum mere baare mein kya sochti ho,ab main sirf apne baare mein sochta hoon and want to excel in my studies.
Soon the students brought snacks from the canteen and made some welcome posters ,and they all welcomed Raman wholeheartedly. Raman got really happy getting so much love .
After the welcome party,shreya was sitting next to Raman.
Raman look at her and asked-kya soch rahin ho??
Shreya-kuch nahi,just happy that we got a mentor like u.aapse hume bahut kuch seekhne milega.
Raman-itna bhi mahaan nahi hoon,pata nahi tum logon ko kuch seekha bhi paaunga yaa nahi.main toh khud jaldi se jaldi apni padhayi puri karna chahta hoon.
Shreya-aapko kisi ko koi point prove karna hai kya,sir??she said making him look at her.
Raman-nahi,aisa kyun chahunga main.aisa kuch nahi hai ,Shreya.main bas apni company ko international level par stand karna chahta hoon,aur uske liye mera educated hona jaruri hai.
Shreya-waise aisa toh kuch nahi hota.business dimaag se hota hai ,naa ki degree se.kyunki degree holder aapke under kaam karte hai,aapke saath nahi.
Raman-thanks,but still I want to complete my education asap.but sadly it will take very long time.he said sadly.
Shreya-aap ek kaam kar sakte hai ,sir.ek saath first year ,second year ka form fill up kar sakte hai.
Raman-matlab??
Shreya-i mean to say,kuch log bahut intelligent hote hai ,toh woh apni teen saal ki padhayi ek saal mein hi complete kar lete hai,teeno saal ke exams de kar.
Raman-aisa possible hai kya??
Shreya-maine suna tha,ek student 14 years mein hi engineer ban gaya tha.woh bahut intelligent tha,toh three months mein ek saal ki padhayi karke exams deta tha.agar aap yeh kar sake toh aapki bhi graduation jaldi complete ho sakti hai.she said making him think.
Raman-achcha suggestion hai.thanks.
Shreya-ur welcome sir,but u have to take care of ur business too.toh soch samajh kar faisla lijiyega.
Raman-yes,u r right.anyway,thanks for ur help.
Shreya-anytime sir,she said and went leaving raman to think about her suggestion.
After collage ,Raman was going to his office when he saw ishita looking for cab.
He stopped the car seeing her and before he can say anything ,she said-main chali jaungi ,Raman.please don't take the pain.waise bhi tumhare taane sunne se behtar hai main cab kar loon.
Raman-kaafi kamzor ho tum,ishita.
Ishita-excuse me.
Raman-really ishita,maine chaar mahine,tumhari bewajah ki nafrat sahi hai.itna hi nahi,har roz tumhe khush karne ki koshish ki hai.aur tum ek din mein thak gayi.agar baat sunne ki himmat nahi hoti naa,toh kisi ko kadwi baat bolni bhi nahi chahiye,kyunki bada ho yaa chota,padha likha ho yaa anpadh,har kisi ka waqt aata hai,sunne ka bhi aur sunane ka bhi.
Ishita-i am not in mood to hear ur lecture,koi aur baat karni hai toh karo warna,u may go.
Raman-driver is coming,wait kar lo.
Ishita look at him with shocked eyes when he said-Raman Kumar bhalla ki biwi aur bhalla parivaar ki bahu cabs mein travel nahi karti.jab tak ghar ki bahu ho,ghar ki izzat ka khayal rakho.phir toh tum azaad ho,jahan chahe ghoomo ,jiske saath chahe ghoomo.
Ishita look at him and said-avinash sir,the management professor.waise bata doon,he is married.
Ishita-main kisi ke saath affair nahi kar rahi hoon,joh tum mujhe yeh bata rahen ho .we were just talking.waise nazar puri hai mujh par.
Raman-mere maa-papa ki bahu ho,itna dhyaan toh rakhna padega.saying so he start his car and drive away while ishita was just looking at his car for long.
After sometime,her car came and she went back.
At dinner,ishita was serving her in laws when toshiji asked-raman aa gaya??
Ishita-nahi mummy ji.
Toshiji-badi der ho gayi,itni der toh kabhi nahi karta.tune baat ki,pucha kahan hai??
Ishita-nahi,mujhe lagaa busy hoga, I mean honge.busy honge.
Toshiji-phir bhi puttar,pati hai tera.itna khayal toh rakhna chahiye.yeh care aur concern hi toh ek rishte ko majboot banate hai.chal call kar usse,puch kab tak aayega.
Ishita-aate hi honge ,pareshan kya karun.she said feeling awkward in calling him.
Toshiji-yeh bhi koi baat hui ,call kar.puch abhi.she said and ishita nodded seeing no other option.
Ishita called Raman reluctantly and his phone was picked up in two rings.
Ishita closed her eyes and said -Raman, aap kahan hai??mummy ji,she was saying when she heard-sir,meeting mein busy hai,maam.
Ishita-ohh ,kab tak free honge??
Sec-after eleven,unki back to back meeting hai.
Ishita-itni der??
Sec-yes maam,actually sir apni classes puri karke aaye hai naa,toh der ho jayegi.
Ishita-ok.
Sec-aur kuch ,maam??
Ishita look at toshiji and she signaled,ask her about food.
Ishita-khana khaya Raman ne??she asked meekly .
Sec-nahi maam,sir never eats in between meeting.aapko toh pata hi hoga.
Ishita-yes,I know.she said and hung up the call.
Toshiji-khana khaaya Raman ne??
Ishita-nahi,woh baahar khaate nahi.she said slowly and toshiji said-haan,usse baahar ka khana pasand nahi .subah ka nikla hai mera puttar,pata nahi kuch khaya bhi hai yaa sirf black coffee par hi chal raha hai.pata nahi kahan se yeh padhayi ka bhoot chad gaya hai uske sar par,warna pehle ghar toh time par aa jaata tha,but ab pehle college phir business.kaise karega mera puttar itna kuch,she said worriedly making ishita feel guilty.
Ishita-meri wajah se Raman itni mehnat kar rahen hai, pata nahi kyun kar rahen hai .khud bhi pareshan hai aur mujhe bhi guilty feel kara rahen hai.she said while toshiji was busy cursing the person because of whom ,Raman resumed his studies.
Mr bhalla-why u r being so negative.arey woh hamara puttar hai,he will take care of everything.har field mein hamesha jeet haasil ki hai usne,isme bhi jarur karega,don't worry.
Toshiji-par kitni mehnat karni pad rahin hai usse.
Mr bhalla-mehnat jitni jyada hogi,jeet bhi utni hi shaandaar hogi.chaliye,khana kha kar aaram kijiye.
Toshiji-i don't feel like eating,main uska intezaar karungi.
Ishita-nahi mummy ji,aap rest kijiye.main wait kar rahin hoon unka.
Toshiji-tu uska wait karegi??
Ishita nodded and toshiji smiled and said-khush reh puttar,yeh choti choti cheezein hi pati-patni ke rishton mein pyaar badhati hai.she said and went blessing ishita while ishita was just standing not understanding why she told so.
Mr and Mrs bhalla went after having food while ishita start waiting for Raman.though she was feeling hungry and want to eat but every time she think about food,she realised Raman is hungry because of her only.
Ishita-woh apni marzi se itni mehnat kar raha hai,she said and paused and then said-apni marzi se mehnat kar rahen hai ,but phir mujhe kyun itna guilty feel ho raha hai .stop feeling guilty,aaj wait kar leti hoon,kal se office mein unka dinner bhej diya karungi.she thought and continued waiting.
At 11.30,he entered the mansion all tired loosening his tie and saw ishita sitting in the chair and sleeping.
Raman-ishita yahan kyun so rahin hai??he thought and walked to her.
He shake her and said-ishita,yahan kyun so rahin ho??
She got up and said-aa gaye,freshen up ho jaiye.main khana lagati hoon.
Raman-tum mera wait kar rahin thi??he asked shockingly.
Ishita-aap freshen up ho jaiye,main khana garam karti hoon.saying so she went leaving raman smile for a reason unknown to him.
That's all for now,enjoy.
That was a delightful read. Incredibly nuanced and intriguing. I loved every bit of it. Thank you.
