Chahat…Desire.. IshRa FS Part 2

Well…the girl with Raman is Mihika.
Mihika was shocked:What?You are already married?
Raman:Yes.5 years back I got married.

Mihika:Who is she?

Raman:I met her in our college when I was doing M.Tech.Though I was a middle class boy I was a Prince in college.A rowdy.I was ruling my college.My gang members and I were excited to rag the new admission students.There came a simple traditional beauty.Ishita…She was in tears when all were trying to rag her.Her innocence attracted me towards her.I could’nt bear her tears.I did not allow anyone to rag her.

Flash back….

Ishita:Thank you….
Raman was lost in her sweet voice.
Raman:Hi…I am Raman Bhalla.

Ishita:I am Ishita Iyer.

Raman:Sweet name.
She smiled sweetly.

Raman was hoping to get closer to Ishita.But to his shocked she started running away from him whenever she saw him.Raman could not understand anything.
Raman:Why is she behaving like this?Strange!

Raman was fighting with a boy in the college.Both were rolling on the mud and punching each other.All were watching it as if they were watching an interesting action movie.But Ishita who saw got scared and ran away.Seeing Ishita,Raman left that boy and ran after her.
Raman:Ishita!
Ishita:Don’t come near me.
Raman:Why?Why are you always running away from me?
Ishita:Because I realized who you are.You are a rowdy boy.The leader of rowdy boys.Now also you were mercilessly punching an innocent boy.
Raman became upset:Ishita…you are misunderstanding me.
Ishita:I don’t know.I am scared to even look at you.

Raman was very upset:If you are scared to see my face,I am going.I will never come in front of you.
Raman left tearfully.

Ishita’s friend Sarika came near her.
Sarika:Ishita…why did you talk like that to Raman?
Ishita:You only told me that Raman is a rowdy.
Sarika:Yes.But I never said that he is bad.You misinterpreted my words about Raman.Though he is notorious he is good at heart.Do you know why he punched that boy?He tried to misbehave with a girl.Raman actually saved that girl.
Ishita was shocked.

Ishita:Oh no…I hurt Raman.

The next day….

Ishita went near Raman:Raman!
Raman raised his eye brows and looked at her.
Raman:Ishita!
Ishita:I am sorry.I misunderstood you.You are a nice guy.

Raman was surprised and happy.
Raman:Ishita…don’t say sorry.You are not angry with me anymore.That’s more than enough for me.
She smiled.
Raman:So…friends?
Ishita smiled:Yes.
Raman became very happy.

Raman-Ishita became very good friends.Because of her influence Raman turned into a good boy and stopped fighting with others.Like Ishita,Raman also became calm and focused on studies.

One day Raman confessed his love to her:Ishita…. love you.I can see only you while eating,sleeping and studying.You made each moment of my life more beautiful.I feel the happiest with you.I love you madly.
Ishita’s eyes got filled with tears.
Raman was shocked.
Raman:Ishita…are you crying because you don’t love me the way I love you?Then don’t cry.I am not forcing you to love me.Your friendship is enough for me.
Ishita:No Raman.I also have feelings for you.
Raman was relieved.
Ishita:But we can’t be together.We are not meant for each other.

Raman was shocked:Why are you saying like this?
Ishita:Because I am the daughter of a Don.My brother is also not less than my father.
Raman was shocked.
Ishita:That’s why when I saw you fighting with others I got scared.The whole life I was scared of my own family.I did’nt want my life partner also to be like them.
Raman:But Ishita..I have changed myself for you.
Ishita:I know that.But if my father and brother come to know that I love you they will harm you.I don’t want you to get harmed because of me.I can’t bear it Raman.I want you to be safe.
Ishita shed tears.
Raman:I understand your emotions.But if you suppress your love because of fear do you know what will happen?Your family will get you married to a powerful Underworld King.Do you want that to happen?
Ishita:No.I can never marry anyone else.
Raman caressed her face holding her closer:Then don’t try to go away from me Ishita.I love you.I can’t live without you.Trust me..I will make everything alright.No one can harm me or our love.We will be always together.But I just need your hand Ishita.Will you be with me Ishita?
Ishita wept:Yes Raman.I will be always with you.I can’t live without you.I love you.
Raman smiled emotionally.They embraced each other.

Raman-Ishita’s love blossomed.

Ishita woke up from the bed cheerfully feeling the beauty of love.She was surprised to see Raman near her with a tea and a red rose.

munbae vaa en anbae vaa...

- come before me my beloved...

She took the red roses and the tea cup from him.

oonae vaa uyirae vaa...

- come on my soul, come on my life (oon means body)...

He came closer

and they rubbed their forehead with each others with a sweet romantic smile.

munbae vaa en anbae vaa...

- come before me my beloved...

poopoovai poopoovai

- like a scented flower

Suddenly Ishita realized that it was her imagination.

Raman-Ishita were chatting and having snacks in the canteen.Raman gave her red roses surprising Ishita.Ishita was 
surprised as in the morning she had really imagined Raman giving her red roses.

naan naana, keaten ennai naane..

- i asked to myself if am me,myself

naan neeya nenjam sonnathae..

- my heart said that i am u...

Raman-Ishita sang together for the college stage programme.

 rango rangoli kolangal nee pootal - if u craft the rongoli art,  kolam potaval kailgal vaazhi.... 
- long live the hands of the one who crafted the rangoli..
 sundara manthira, santhana malligai sinthiya punnagai vannam enna? - the magical, sandal jasmine would have a colorful smile... 

 Raman was in the room thinking of Ishita.He imagined dancing romantically with Ishita. 

poo vaithai poo vaithai, 
nee poovaikor poo vaithai -u kept the flowers, u kept flowers for flowers, 
  mana poo vaithu poo vaithu poovaikul thee vaithai -u kept flowers and flowers 
in my heart and ignited those flowers

Ishita imagined dancing with Raman in rain at the same time.

nee nee mazhayil aada, naan mounam nanaithu vaada,

- as u danced in rain, i was left speechless and started yearning for u..

en nalathil un ratham naadikul un satham, uyirae...

- my body had ur blood and my heartneat had ur sound, my beloved...

(The credit for the edit goes to the unknown editor).

Raman-Ishita were eating snacks at the road side food stall.Raman fed her snacks with his hands.

 thozha, oru sila naalai, thaniyana aalai tharai enranginaen vaa - for few days, my friend, i landed alone for u (quite difficult here...) munbae vaa..

 During the college excursion while all were busy Raman Ishita were watching the moon and dreaming of their future. 

nilavidam vaadai vaangi, vizhi veetinil kudi vaikalama - lets get rent from moon, lets keep our desired sight as tenants

naam vazhum veetukul vera yarum vanthalae thaguma?

- if someone comes into our house, is it acceptable?

Raman-Ishita were dancing together in rain forgetting themselves.

then malai thekkathil nee than, unthan tholgalil edam peralama?

- in the honey mountain, can i rest on ur shoulders?

 nan saayum thol mel vera yarum saynthal thaguma? - if someone rests in ur shoulders is it acceptable?

neeyum sengula cherum kalanthathu pola, kalanthavan nanaa?

- as u mixed with the scented sandal, am i the one mixed with u?  

munbae vaa..

rango rangoli..(Sillunu oru kadhal).

Ashok who came that way saw Ishita dancing with Raman in rain.He could not control his anger and walked towards them.
He separated Ishita from Raman.

Raman:Hey...what are you doing?

Ishita was shocked to see Ashok.

Ishita:Anna!

Raman:Anna?

Ishita:He is my brother.

Ashok slapped Ishita.

Raman:How dare you?

Ashok:Stop it.I have the right to do that when my sister is wrong.Are you not ashamed to dance with a man like this?

Ishita:Anna..we both love each other.

Raman:Yes.I want to marry Ishita.

Ashok:How can you even think of marrying Ishita?

Ashok pulled Ishita away from Raman.

Ishita looked at Raman painfully:Raman!

Raman's heart pained:Ishita!

Ankush slapped Ishita.

Ankush:I enquired about Raman.Where is his status?You got only this middle class good for nothing boy for yourself?
I can bring a Prince for you.

Ishita:For me ,my Raman is my Prince.I will marry only him.

Ashok:Look at her arrogance.

Ankush was very angry:Now onwards you will not go to this college.I am sending you abroad.You study there.

Ishita was shocked.

Ishita:No..I won't go anywhere leaving Raman.

Ashok:Stop it.We will decide that.

Ishita was shattered.

She rang up and told everything to Raman.

Present...

Abhishek:Then what did Raman do?

Ishita:He made a plan to elope and marry.

Abhishek:Did you guys elope?

Ishita:Yes.Even Raman's family supported us.Though our wedding was risky,I managed to carry our traditional 
kanchipuram saree and jewellery with me.On the way I made Raman buy fresh Jasmine flowers too.It was a cute beautiful moment.

Flash back...

Raman-Ishita went to a register office and got married there with Raman's family members as witnesses.

Raman:Madrasan,you really look like a Madrasan now.

Ishita:But tell me how is this look.

Raman:Nothing can be more beautiful than you.

She smiled.

Raman put a ring on her finger surprising Ishita.

They were very happy.

Shockingly Ankush and Ashok came there with goons.The goons punched Raman brutally.Ishita and others cried loudly.
Raman was lying in a pool of blood.Ishita was dragged away by Ankush and Ashok while she was screaming 
'Raman..Raman...I want to be with my Raman'.

But Ashok and Ankush did not care.

Present....

Ishita was in tears.She wiped her tears.

Abhishek:Oh..this is so unfortunate.

Ishita:I was sent abroad forcefully.

Abhishek:Did you enquire about Raman?

Ishita:I decided to stay away from Raman,otherwise my so called father and brother will kill him.But my brother said that
 Raman got remarried.

Abhishek:You are still single as you love him.But he married someone else.Don't you feel sad and angry?

Ishita:I am sad.But I am not angry.Because of me,his life was in danger.By God's grace only his life was saved.
I don't blame him for moving on.

Abhishek:Now I understand how deeply you love Raman and why you rejected me in the first sight itself.
It's ok if you don't want to marry me.I will not force you.

Ishita:Thanks for understanding me.

Abhishek:If you need any help you can contact me.

Ishita:Thanks.

Abhishek:Can I see Raman's photograph?Just a curiosity.

Ishita:Ok.

Ishita showed him her photographs with Raman.

Abhishek thought:Nice pair.But it's sad that they are not destined to be with each other.

Abhishek:You look so different in these photographs.A traditional girl with long hair.

Ishita just smiled:Time made changes in me.

He smiled.

Abhishek:You are a software engineer..Right?Did you start working here?

Ishita:No.I have started applying for a job here.I hope I will get employed in an IT company.

Abhishek:All the best.

Ishita:Thank you.

Abhi:If I can get your phone number...

Though Ishita was hesitant she gave him her number.With the number Abhishek left bidding her good-bye.

He thought:How can Ishita believe Ashok who separated her from Raman brutally?What if Raman is still single and waiting for Ishita?

Mihika felt very sad after hearing the painful incomplete love story of Raman-Ishita.

Mihika:Oh no...how can they be so cruel to you?

Raman:They were cruel to me only physically.But they were cruel to Ishita in every way.
That day they killed her mentally by injuring me cruelly in front of her.

Mihika:So sad.What happened after that?

Raman:It took some months for me to recover completely.I heard that that Ishita has been sent abroad for higher studies.
Unfortunately everything was so secretive that I could not trace Ishita.After 2 years accidentally I met Ashok.
He told me that Ishita is married to someone.She got settled abroad itself.

Mihika was shocked:What?Ishita's remarriage?Unbelievable.

Raman:Ashok himself said that they got her married forcefully.Let her live peacefully.That's all I want.

Mihika:Still you don't want to get settled with another person?

Raman:No.I am happy to live with Ishita's memories.For me life and love have only one name.Ishita.

Mihika was touched by his words.

Mihika:Though our wedding is not going to take place let us keep in touch.Let us remain as friends.

Raman:Ok...sure..

Mihika:Nice to meet you.

Raman:Nice to meet you too.

After a few days...

Abhishek rang up Ishita.

Abhi:Hi Ishita...did you get a job?

Ishita:Not yet.

Abhi:Actually my cousin Shagun Arora owns the Arora company.There is a vacancy there.If you are interested...

Ishita:Wow..sure.Who does not know about the Arora company?Thank you so much Abhishek.

Abhi:It's my pleasure.

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.
