It was a normal day for Ishita & Raman. Ruhi had demanded to go to a RomCom movie which they eventually agreed. It was sunday. Everyone was on the sofas chilling out until the bell rang.
"Mai dekhti hoon!" Said Ishita as she went to the door.
For a second she was shocked. The Bhalla family turned to Ishita to see who it is. It was a guy but who? They had no idea. As soon as Ishita saw the ugly smirk on his face she smiled to him or we may say smiled wide to him. The bhalla family had no idea what was going on.
"Ishita puttar kaun hai?" Asked Toshiji.
"Mere college ke dino ka dost hai mummyji! Subbu!" Replied Ishita smiling.
Subbu had come to give something to the Iyers which Shravan had told him to do. Mihika knowing Subbu would definately hurt Ishita ran towards the bhalla household but too late.
Raman was just about to take steps towards Subbu when Mihir kept his hand on his shoulder signaling to let Ishita handle.
Seeing Ishita so normal made Subbu's face pale. Seeing that Ishita got all the more confidence.
"Aao na Subbu! Baitho! Tum meri shadi pe nai kyun nai aaye? Tum mere husband se nai mile na? Meet Raman." Said Ishita still smiling widely towards Subbu.
"Hi" said Subbu to which Raman only faked a smile.
Ishita went towards Raman and kept her hand on his shoulders.
"Ye na mera ex-boyfriend bhi hai jisne muje dhoka diya hai remember?" Ishita smiled to Raman.
Raman was getting more and more awkward now. The bhalla family had no other option but to look on.
"Aaeee! Subbu ke baache tuje kaha tha na meri akka se dur reh! Samaj nai aati koi baat tuje?" Roared Mihika.
The bhalla family was shocked seeing this side of Mihika. They supposed them to be bheegi billis but alas the truth lies elsewhere.
"MIKIKA!! Aisa nai kehte! Kehte hai mehman bhagwan hote hai. Aise baat nai karte chahe jo ho!" Said Ishita.
"Par akkka?" Said a confused Mihika.
"Par var kch nai!" Replied Ishita.
"Aap khade kyun hai? Baithiye na! Pehli baar aap mere ghar aaye hai!" Said Ishita to Subbu.
Subbu was really confused.
"Thanks" Subbu replied awkwardly.
"Ye jhansi ki rani kar kya rai hai? Tamasha create kar rai hai!" Said Raman to Mihir.
"Tum jo roz Shagun ke case mein karte ho vo bhabhi pehli baar kar rai hai! Sangaat ka asar ho gaya hai!" Replied Mihir.
"Chup kar" replied Raman.
"Tumhe coffee bahut pasand haina? Mai abhi banati hoon!" Said Ishita.
"Tum itni normal kaise ho sakti ho Ishu?" Asked Subbu directly with his one eyebrow up.
"Iski himmat kaise hui meri jhasi ki rani ko Isshuu karke bulane ki? Iski toh mai!" Said Raman to himself a little loud and steped towards Ishita right behind her.
"Feelings toh hai Raman!" Smiled Mihir.
"Normal?" Asked Ishita.
"I know you are'nt over me Ishu!" Said Subbu again with a smirk.
Raman was just going to explode but before that Ishita spoke..
"Over you? Really? Tum apne aap ko itna bhav kyun dete ho? Meri life mein bahut saare behtar chezze hai!" Replied Ishita almost on the verge of laughter.
This stunned Raman. Here she was handing her past with so much ease and him yet behind a bitch who left him for money.
"Kyunki mai tumhara pehla pyaar hoon!" Replied Subbu smiling.
"Well, i agrree tum mera pehla pyaar ho!" Started Ishita
Raman glared at her that everyone is present. But she didnt listen.
"Par yaad hai tumne hi kaha tha ki muje pyaar mein pagal ho jane ki aadat hai? Aur dilse sach kahoon toh mai aaj bhi kisi ke pyaar mein pagal hoon! Par...vo tum nai ho!" Completed Ishita.
This stunned Raman, Subbu, bhalla family, Mihir & Mihika all at once.
"Ruhhiii babbyyy!!" Called Ishita.
"Yesss Ishhiimaa!" Replied Ruhi as she came running out of her bedroom.
"Ruhi hai vo aaj jiske pyaar mein mai pagal hoon! Agar koi bhi mere aur meri bacchi ke beech mein aata hai toh mai koi bhi haad tak jaa sakti hoon! Ruhii meet Subbu uncle mere college friend.!" Explained Ishita.
"Hello!" Said Ruhi and again ran away to her room to watch her favraite cartoon.
"Pehle mai phir Ruhi parso koi aur!" Said Subbu.
"Ek 5 saal ki baachi mere pyaar ko dhoka nai de sakti Subbu. Waise bhi mai kisse baat kar rai hoon? Jiske liye shadi sirf sauda hai bacche paida karne le liye?" Said Ishita.
"Mind You Ishita!" Said Subbu in a low voice.
"Actually na maine tumhe maaf kardiya tumne jo bhi kiya sab maaf!" Said Ishita.
"Ishita tum pagal ho kya?" Said Raman catching her hand.
"Nai Raman mai sirf aaj sab clear kar rai hoon!" Replied Ishita.
"Agar tum muje dhoka nai dete toh meri tumse shadi ho jati aur Ruhi meri life mein kabhi nai aati! Mai aaj jitni khush hoon, na hoti! Issliye sab maaf! Kyunki agar mai tumhe maaf nai karti toh muje tumhe yaad rakh na padega vo mai karna nai chahti! So clear enough?" Asked Ishita.
"Aisi aurat muje maaf karegi jo kisi aur ki beti ko apna bata rai hai!Vo tumhari apni beti nai hai aur shadi sirf compromise! Pati tumse pyaar nai karta!" Said Subbu now jealous.
"Kisne kaha ki hum ek dusre se pyaar nai karte! Har cheez dikhani zaroori nai hoti Mr. Whoever you are! Mai apni patni aur apni beti se bahut pyaar karta hoon! And you better stay off! Kya kaha tha tumne? Ruhi Ishita ki beti nai hai? Vo legally aur emotionally Ishita ki beti aur isse zyaada hum tuje kch batana zaroori nai samajte!" Roared Raman.
Ishita looked at Raman with tearful eyes. She quickly wiped her tears with Toshiji noticed.
"Pyaar? Jhooth tum toh uski taraf thik se dekhte tak nai! Aurr..." Stared Subbu.
"Jaise bhi hai mere pati hai. Tum bhool dhundho usse pehle mai keh deti hoon! Akdu hai, gusse wale hai, ajeeb hai, peete hai par the most important point ek aache insaan hai! Jo tum nai ho!" Cut Ishita.
Raman looked at Ishita with a new respect in his eyes.
"Ishhimaaa Isshiimmaaa homework kaara do na!" Said Ruhi.
"Sorry yaar mai baithke aur baatein karti par mere liye meri beti zyaada important hai so..." Said Ishita.
Subbu got up with a jerk and moved out.
"Sunoo!" Said Ishita.
Subbu looked back.
"Phir aana!" Ishita smiled.
Subbu left furious.
"Ishimaa vo kaun the?" Asked Ruhi.
"Vo na mere dost hua karte the phir muje pareshaan karne lage aur mai unhe kabhiii jawaab nai de paatii! Par aaj kyunkii tum mere saath thi maine uska bada sa muh band kar diya!" Replied Ishita.
"Meri vajah se?" Asked Ruhi.
"Sirf aapki vajah se mai aaj itniii khusshh hoon!" Replied Ishita.
"Yippiieee!" Dancing Ruhi went to her room.
A lone tear went down Ishita's eyes.
"Putaar chod na uss khote ko!" Said her Toshiji
Mr. Bhalla smiled seeing his wife and daughter together.
"Aakkaa today i really felt that you are over him!" Smiled Mihika in tears.
"I am over him!" Smiled Ishita wiping her tears.
"Tum jhansi ki rani mode mein zyaadi achhi lagti ho!" Said Raman nearing Ishita.
Ishita smiled.
"Bhabhi you are really a strong one" said Mihir.
"Thankss Raman muje support karne ke liye!" Said Ishita.
"Pati hoon tumhara saath nai deta toh meri bhi toh band bajti na?" Smirked Raman.
"Anyways Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla, thats the way you handle your past!" Said Ishita as she smirked and left for Ruhi's room.
"And jhansi ki rani is back!" Smiled Raman.
