Chahat…Desire.. IshRa FS Part 3

Ishita attended the interview at the Arora Company and Shagun got impressed.

Shagun:Wow Ishita.I am really impressed.You are appointed.

Ishita:Thank you so much.

Shagun:I have a very loyal employee here.He will be your colleague.He will help you initially regarding your work.I will call him.

Shagun rang him up:Please come.

He came.

Ishita and he were shocked to see each other.They could not believe their eyes.

He said in his mind:Ishita!

Ishita said in her mind:Raman!

Raman-Ishita looked at each other emotionally.

 Raman said in his mind:Ishita..is she my Ishita?She has changed so much.I can't believe her change.
A simple girl has turned into a modern girl.Has she changed completely?

Shagun:Raman...this is Ishita.She has joined now.Show her the place.Help her in everything.

Raman:Sure Ma'am.

Shagun:Ishita...this is the most trustworthy employee about whom I told you.

Ishita looked at Raman:Hi Raman..

Raman:Hi Ishita...

Raman led her to her place.

Raman:This is your place.

Ishita:Where will you sit?

Raman:I will be sitting next to you.

Hearing that Ishita felt an unknown happiness.

She thought:I can see you daily... so close.Thank God!

Ishita:Raman...are you fine?

Raman looked at her emotionally.

He thought:Without you how can I be fine Ishita?

Raman:Ya...I am good.

Ishita thought:Guess your wife is very loving.She is keeping you happy.

Ishita:I am happy that after that incident you have recovered physically.That was my only prayer.

Raman smiled slightly.

Raman:I heard that you were living abroad.

Ishita:Yes..I was.Now I am back to my own place.That's why I took up a job here.

Raman smiled thinking:Good to see you back Ishita.Though you will never be mine I can still see you every day.It's
 a beautiful feeling which cannot be expressed.

Raman:How is your husband?

Ishita looked at him in shock.

She thought:Raman thinks that I am married.Let him think like that.If he comes to know that I am single he may feel guilty.

Ishita:He is fine.

Raman:Good.Do you have kids?

Ishita:No.

Raman:Ok.

Raman saw her empty neck.

Raman:You are not wearing nuptial chain or vermilion.

Ishita became dull.

Suddenly she smiled:Raman...I was staying in a western country.There who wears mangalsuthra and sindoor?And 
now a days modern women do not wear sindoor and mangalsuthra.Right?

Raman:Actually you are right.I just asked as you were very traditional during our college days.But ya..now you are very modern.

Ishita just smiled and tried to divert the topic.

Ishita:Then what's up?How is your family?

Raman:All are fine.

Ishita:Nice.

She thought:I will ask him about his wife.Ashok can't be trusted blindly.What if he lied that Raman is married?

Ishita:How is your wife?

Raman became dull.

He thought:If Ishita comes to know that I am still single she will feel guilty.

Raman:She is good.

Ishita smiled emotionally:I am happy that finally you got a loving wife.You suffered a lot.You deserve happiness.

Raman looked at her emotionally.

He thought:Only her looks have changed.She is still emotional like before.

Ishita was thinking of Raman and making chapathi happily.

She looked at a burnt hapathi.

Ishita:As I am dreaming and cooking my chapathi is a big flop.

The calling bell rang.

She went and opened the door.She was surprised to see her college best friend Sarika.

They both hugged each other.

Sarika:Ishita..you look so different now.You look like a foreigner.

Ishita smiled:You look the same.

Sarika smiled.

Sarika:I felt very upset when you just left for abroad without giving me any clue.

Ishita:What to do Sarika?It was not in my hands.I was forced to go.

Sarika:When you informed that you have come back I was so excited that I came here to see you.

Ishita:I feel very happy to see you.You are the one who knew everything about my and Raman's love.

Sarika became upset.

Sarika:I really do feel upset for both of you.

Ishita:Now what's the use of talking about it?We lost everything.At least Raman is happy with his wife.

Sarika:Raman is married?

Ishita:Yes.

Sarika:You still miss him.Right?

Ishita:No.Because he is near me now.

Sarika:What?

Ishita told her about working with Raman now.

Sarika:I can't believe it.The destiny's play is strange.

Ishita:Ya.But I am happy that now Raman is near me.

Sarika:But Ishita...Raman is somebody else's husband now.

Ishita's eyes welled up with tears:I know that.Sadly I have to accept the fact.I don't expect anything from him.

She wiped her tears.

Ishita:I am just satisfied with the beautiful reality that at least I can see him now.Last few years I 
had been longing to see him every single second.

Sarika looked at her emotionally.

Ishita:Now you say about your family.

Sarika smiled:My husband's name is Romi.We have a son named Rohit.

Ishita:That's so sweet Sarika.I am really happy for you.

Sarika smiled.

Ishita went shopping.In the mall accidentally she saw Abhishek.

Abhishek:Ishita!

Ishita:Hi...

Abhi:How are you?How is your job?

Ishita:I should thank you.Because of you only I got this job.Now I feel blessed.As I wished I met Raman after a long time.

Abhishek was surprised:Really?How?Where?

Ishita:He is my colleague now.

Abhishek was surprised:Really?Wow Ishita.

Ishita:I know that he is married.So I will keep a distance from him.Still I feel happy.

Abhishek became dull.

Raman who was in opposite shop saw Abhishek and Ishita together.

Raman thought painfully:Guess he is Ishita's husband.They look good together.

Raman was walking and by mistake he bumped into a girl.

Raman:I am sorry.

Suddenly he realized that she was Mihika.

Mihika and Raman were surprised to see each other.

Mihika:Raman!

Raman:Hi Mihika...How are you?

Mihika:I am good.How are you?

Raman:I am very very happy.I am so happy that I can't tell you how happy I am.

Mihika:That's nice.What's the matter?Say.

Raman:I saw Ishita.

Mihika was surprised:Really?Where?

Raman told her everything.

Mihika was surprised:That's cool.But don't you feel sad that Ishita has become someone's else's wife?

Raman:Yes...but though Ishita and I can never be together at least we can remain as good colleagues.I am happy with it.

Mihika smiled.

Accidentally Ishita's eyes fell on Raman and Mihika.

Abhishek:Ishita...

Ishita:Raman is there...

Abhishek looked at the opposite side and saw Raman and Mihika.

Ishita:I think that's his wife.

Abhishek kept silent.

Abhishek saw Ishita look at them painfully.

Abhi:Are you upset to see Raman with another girl?

Ishita:I am.But at the same time I am happy to see him happy with his wife.

Unknowingly Abhishek got emotional.

Raman was having dinner.He imagined having dinner with Ishita sitting close to her.

Realizing that it was only an imagination Raman thought:Though it was not real it was so beautiful to have dinner with Ishita.

After dinner Ishita went to bed.

Ishita:I wish Raman was here with now as my dearest companion.

Suddenly she saw Raman on the bed.

Raman:Ishita..I am here.

Ishita was surprised.She ran to him and embraced him.

But her beautiful imagination broke in a few seconds.

The Days passed...

Raman-Ishita were slowly becoming closer to each other unknowingly as friends.

While working together on a project unknowingly they both looked at each other as they could'nt get enough of seeing each other.
They exchanged sweet glances.

Unknowingly his eyes fell on her hand.He saw a ring on Ishita's finger.

Raman got confuse seeing the ring.

He thought:This ring...

Again he looked at the ring.He remembered putting a ring on her finger just after their wedding.

Shagun called Ishita to her cabin.So Ishita left.

Raman:It means the ring which Ishita is wearing is the ring which I put her on her finger and not new wedding ring.How is it possible?

Suddenly Raman remembered Ishita not wearing nuptial chain and vermilion.

Raman was stunned.

Raman:It means Ishita is not married and still she loves me.That's why she is wearing the ring which I made her wear.That means Ashok lied to me that Ishita is married?How could I believe a man like Ashok?

Raman could not control himself anymore and barged into Shagun's cabin.But Ishita was not there.

Raman:Where is Ishita?

Shagun:I sent her to the field.

Shagun noticed Raman's restlessness.

Shagun:What happened Raman?

Raman:Ishita..she is ..she is still my wife.

Shagun was stunned:What?

Raman:Ishita is my wife.

Shagun was shocked.

Raman:Some years back we were married.But destiny separated us. I misunderstood that she had remarriage with someone else.
But now I realized that she has not married anyone and still she is my wife.
