Ishitha is thinking how to convey her points when Raman slowly walks up to her and holds her shoulder and turns her to face him.. She is shocked at this act of his and he looks into her eyes and says Ruk jao..
Ishitha is looking at him.. Raman can see that she is not convinced and praying to all Gods that they give him the strength to convince her.
Part 4
Ishitha is staring into his eyes. Raman finds no happiness,love or any emotion in those eyes. He sees some kind of determination and that scares him to the core. He definitely needs a lot of strength to tackle the situation
Ishitha kitna aasan hai na kehna ruk jao..
She sighed sarcastically and looked at all of them. She could see them waiting anxiously for her decision. She could see that her kids are nervous.
Ishitha kyu Raman kitna aasan hai na aapke liye ye kehna ki ruk jao.. ye bhi keh dijiye ki kab tak.. kyonki agle musibat aate hi mujhe fir se boriya bistar baand kar chale jaana chahiye right?
Ishitha - main maanthi hoon ki mein aap sab ki gunehgar hoon. Roshni meri kuch nahi lagthi par uske kaaran main ne apne bte pe goli chalayi.. par kya aap logon ne ye socha ki kin halaathon mein main adi ko goli mar sakthi hoon. Arre Adi mera beta hain. Uske ke liye main ne aag mein khoodi thi ek bar. Jab wo acid attack mein arrest huwa tab main ne ilzam apne pe liya tha. Jab shagun aur adi raste pe the maine unko ghar me jagah di ye jaante huwe ki wo dono mujse nafrat karte hain. Tab aap logon ne meri mamta par ungli nahi uttayi.. phir ab kyon. Shagun aur aliya bhi the wahan. Aap dono bolo aap log kya karthe agar gun aapke haath lag gayi hoti tho.. bolo aliya.. bolo shagun.. ... hmmm.. koyi jawab nahi hain na? mere paas bhi nahi hain.. kabhi kabhi haalat aise ho jaate hain ki hume patha nahi hotha ki hum kya kar rahe hain.
Raman Ishitha humare paas kehne ko kuch hai nahin par ab tho sab theek ho gaya hai na.. ab tho sab bhool jao or ruk jao.
Ishitha Nahin Raman..Ab sab kuch theek nahi ho saktha.. infact iss haadse ne mujhe ek bahut badi seekh dhi hain.. ki ham jitna bhi phad likh kar aage bade phir bhi ek baanj ko iss society mein koi acceptance nahin hain. Infact Subbu sahi keh raha tha. Ki pyaar vyaar kuch nahi hota bus ek attraction hain umar ki .. baad mein bacche zaroori hote hain ek shaadi ke liye.. main hi ek feminist activist ke tarah naare laga rahi thi. Samaj mein aa gaya ki kitni galat hoon main.
Raman Ishita!!! He could only say that. He so wanted to hug her tight and get her out of this mode but was not sure how to go about it. He slowly tried to hold her hands but she slowly pulled it out. It was not a shrug or jerk in anger. It was freeing her hands with determination.
Toshiji Ishita puttar... meri gal sun puttar. Hum aaram se baith ke baath karthe hain. Pehle kuch kha pee lein. Hum sab hain na.. hum saaara kuch theek kar denge..
Ishitha nahin auntyji.. baath karne ko kuch hain nahin..Main aap logon pe unglli nahi utta rahin hoon. Samaaj aisa hi hain.. main bas apne seekh ko apne paas rakke aage badna chahthi hoon.
Toshiji aisa nahin hain puttar.
Ishitha aisa hi hain auntyji.. aap hi batayiye... kya mainne kabhi is ghar ko paraya samja? Pehle din se mein ne ye maana ki ye mera apna ghar hain aur ye log apne hain par muje kya mile.. maanthi hoon ache waqt mein aap sab ne muje pyaar diya par jab waqt bura tha aap sab ek saath hoke muje iss ghar se nikal dete the.. kya yeh mera ghar nahin hain.. Raman, romi, simmi sab log galthi karthe the phir bhi ghar se muje nikala jaatha tha.. kyon.. kyoon ki main is ghar ki nahin hoon. Baanj hoon. Right.
Ishitha maaf kijiye purani bathe le rahi hoon. Shagun ne kya kya nahin kiya phir bhi usko iss ghar mein kitni izzat milthi hain.. kyo.. kyoki usne bacche ko janam diya. Right?
All of them had tear in their eyes. Raman recalled how evertime ishitha would take things in her stride He remembered how she brought shagun and adi home. He remembered how she apologized and did everything just for him and to bring adi closer to him. He remembered how she made him the best papa. He remembered how she stood for simmi, romi and rinki.. he had nothing to say. He hung his head in shame. He had no clue how to sort this out.
Toshiji - nahi puttar, aisa mat bol.. tu to meri samajdar kudi hain na.. saare purane gile shikve bhool ja puttar.
Mrs. Iyer slowly walks towards her and holds her hand. Ishitha looks at her and releases her hand from the hold.
Madhu ishu kanna.. appadi ille.. aisa nahin hain.. sab log gussa the kyon ki hum ko laga ki tumne adi ko maar diya. Adi to sabka jaan hain na kanna
Ishita- vo mera bhi jaan tha.. kya aapne socha mujh par kya bithi hogi.. bus aasan tarika apna liya.. dafa ho jao.. right?Jab nidhi aur ruhi ka accident huwa tab bhi muje akela chod diya aur ab bhi.. jab bhi musibat aati hain mein to akeli ho jaati hoon naa.. ab aadat ho gayi is akelepan ki.. iss akelepan mein ek sukoon hain.. no expectations and hence no disappointments.. ab muje koyi hurt nahin kar saktha aur na hi koi muje apne ghar se nikal saktha hain.. finally mere paas ek address to hain. Unlogon ka chodo aap logon ne bhi muje palat kar nahi dekha na..
Kyu.. kya kisi ko ye ehsaas nahin hua ki ishitha goli kyu chalayegi? Kya maine kabhi ye ehsaas dilaya ki ye mere apne bachche nahin hain..
Raman aur bache to mere jaan hai.. unpe jaan chidakthi hoon main. Unke liye apne aap ko maar sakthi hoon.Kya ye patha nahi tha kisi ko..
Raman is ashamed of himself and the situations he has put every one into.. he realizes that none of them thought what ishitha will be going through.
Adi, ruhi and pihu come over to ishitha and hug her
Ruhi ishima aap ko bathane ki zaroorat nahin hain. Hum sab jaante hain. Hum aapke bachche ye jaanthe hain ki aap humse kitna pyaar karte ho.. hum ye bhi jaante hain ki hum aapke saath bilkul safe hain. Aapne hume janam to nayi diya par hume hamara astitva diya.. aapne hume achce insaan banaya. Aapne hume pyaar karna sikaya, maaf karna sikaya, sach bolna sikaya.
Ishitha - haan bachce.. yahin to main bhi keh rahi hoon.main door rehkar bhi tum sabse pyaar kar sakthihoon. Main hamesha aapke paas hoon. Yahan dil main. Bus main sirf iss ghar mein nahin reh sakthi..
Everyone is shocked to see that ishitha is not moved by her kids also. She is determined to stay away. Mr. bhalla and Mr. iyer come to her and hold her hand. She just looks at them and steps a little back and takes her hand away.
Mr. Bhalla puttar, samaj saktha hoon tumhari har ek baath.. tumhare saath hamesha galath huwa hain. Par puttar tum bhi to samaj sakthi ho ki raman aisa hi hain. Par bachche tumse bahut pyaar karthe hain.. unke bare me soch le puttar.
Mr. Iyer ah ishu,, main maantha hum sab ne tumhe alag kar diya par ruhi aur pihu to tadap rahe the tumhare liye. Unke bare me soch le kanna.
Ishitha uncle, main ne bahut socha par nahi hoga mujse.. main door hi theek hoon. Ya waapis aana sahi nahi hain, na mere liye na iss parivaar ke liye.
Romi bhabi, please bhabhi..
Ishitha Romi, please muje mat rook. Maine tume apna bhai maana. Socha iss ghar mein tum muje samjoge.. lekin tumne bhi muje ignore kar diya.. palat ke nahi dekha na.. na tum na mihika.. itni parayi ho gayi main ki uss din jab mere paas rehne ko ghar nahi tha aur maine tum dono se madat maangi.. patha hain kisne meri madad ki.. kiran ne.. kiran aur mani ne mere liye ghar doonda aur muje settle karvaya.
Romi bhabi, galati ho gayi bhabi, please maaf kardo.. please bhabhi.. aap jante ho na muje..main aapki bahut izzat kartha hoon. Apne hi pareshani me ulaj gaya aur aapki taraf dekha nahin.. please bhabhi muje maaf kar do
Everyone is trying to get ishitha to talk.. Raman walks upto her. Holds her hand tightly and looks at her. She is trying to take her hands but he is not letting it go..
He looks at her and says ishitha muje tumse baat karni hain. Kya hum upar hamare kamare mein jaa sakthe hain
Ishitha Raman muje kuch baath nahi karni hain na kuch sunna hain. Please mera haath chodiye.
Raman Nahi Ishitha,, meri baath sune bagair mein tume jaane nahin doonga
Ishitha sees his determination and also realizes that he is pleading. She decides to listen to him one last time.
Ishitha theek hain par jo bhi baat karni hain yahi karenge..
Raman nods his head and says - bhait tho jao.. chai to peelo..
Ishitha sits down and Raman goes and sits in front of her.. He holds her hand and with all sincerity looks into her eyes and says Ishitha.
