Trust A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults. - Charles Kingsley Raman reached Bhalla house out of breath all the way drowning in remorse for having doubted Ishita and with a determination to get her to forgive him and to tell her just how much he loved her….. He may not have had his happily forever after with Shagun (Thank God For That!) But he was’nt letting his Ishita go anywhere. He knew that it would’nt be easy to convince her as his Jhansi Ki Rani was just as stubborn as he is but then he also knew true love always wins and his love for Ishita was the truest, most beautiful and purest love that ever existed. Once he reached Bhalla House he went straight to their room but there was no one there. Strange, he thought Ishita had left directly for home and by now the rest of his family should have reached home too. He checked his phone hopefully that perhaps Ishita would have called him but sighed seeing that his phone was switched off as the battery was down. He struggled to find the charger, and finally finding it put the phone on charge. Half an hour passed and Raman was feeling strangely anxious…. He checked the Iyers house but it was locked… Amma, Appa must still be on vacation. Why was’nt Ishita home yet? It took just half an hour to reach from the party venue to home and it was now 2 hours since she had started…. And she had been so upset while driving the car…. A cold fear stabbed Raman’s heart. How could he have let Ishita drive the car when she was soo upset what if something had happened to her…. Noooo!! The mere thought was soooo horrifying Raman tried to dismiss it immediately. But as more and more time passed by Raman became more scared and decided to search for Ishita. He quickly grabbed his car keys and drove away in his car searching for Ishita. He drove all the way to the party venue again and back searching for her but he could’nt find her anywhere. Raman tried to calm himself saying that he was probably getting paranoid and that Ishita was most probably home by now. Then he remembered that he had forgotten his phone at his house. Perhaps Ishita had called him… He speeded up the car and reached Bhalla house again running to get his phone. There were 15 missed calls! Could they be Ishita’s? Was she alright? Heart beating fast he checked the logs and saw that they were his mother’s. Raman was about to call her back when he got another call from her. Raman picked up. Mrs Bhalla : “Raman, Romi has had an accident I tried calling you but you were’nt picking up…. Raman : “What?? Accident?? Ma is he okay??” Mrs Bhalla : “Yes, yes don’t worry he is now fine with just a few stitches and injuries.” Raman sighed in relief. “Ma is Ishita in the hospital??” Mrs Bhalla : “Yes she has been here for the last 3 hours” Thank God she’s ok… Raman said exhaling. “Ok Ma am coming in 15 minutes don’t worry”. With that Raman grabbed his car keys and drove as fast as he could for the hospital. When he reached the hospital however thankfully everyone seemed relaxed. Mr Bhalla greeted him. “Papa how is Romi??” “Don’t worry beta he is fine Sarika is with him….” Good, Raman thought though he did’nt really think Sarika’s being there would go very well with his mother. As expected his mother showed up murmuring daggers about Sarika Mrs Bhalla : ” Raman beta where were you? I called you so many times….” Raman : “Ma where is Ishita?” Mrs Bhalla looked at Raman carefully. “Beta has there been a fight between you two? Because she was really sad and upset before she left…” Raman : “Left????? Where????? When????” Mrs Bhalla : “First answer my question have you two fought??” Raman really did’nt have time for this he had to quickly find Ishita and apologise to her and confess his feelings for her. There were so many million things he wished to say to her…. Raman : “Ma…” Mrs Bhalla : “First Answer Me” So Raman told her everything about him thinking Ishita was cheating on him, not trusting her, how Mani had clarified things… He felt ashamed of himself for the millionth time. How could he have doubted his Ishita? Mrs Bhalla : “How can you do this Raman how can you not trust Ishita we all know that she is different from that good for nothing Shagun… ” Raman : “Ma I know I have been horrible and an idiot but please tell me where Ishita has gone so that I can apologise to her I will fall on her knees and beg her if I have to but I will make her forgive me, I can’t lose her Ma I love her sooo much!!” Mrs Bhalla could’t help smiling at that. She had waited for this moment for such a long time for happiness to enter her son’s life. Now to hear that he loves Ishita, that he had completely got over his past made her delighted. If they had’nt been at the hospital she would probably be doing Bhangra right now!! LOL!! Mrs Bhalla: “She was really sad and upset and said she needed a break from everything and asked permission from me for her to go to Mumbai for sometime to stay with some relatives and she looked so upset I could’nt say no, She would have liked to take Ruhi with her but she’s away on a school trip so she…. Raman : “Flight or Train???” Mrs Bhalla : “Flight but….” Raman : “When did she leave?” Mrs Bhalla : “About an hour ago as soon as she got to know Romi is okay, Mihir has gone to drop her but…….. Raman Wait!!!!!” But Raman was already gone. He could’nt lose his Ishita, suddenly he was back to square one again as he had been 5 hours ago when she had left him….he had to stop her from leaving no way would he let his love leave him…… Precap : IshRa together forever To be continued….
