Because Of You

Raman decided to peep in to have a glimpse of the person Ishita was chit-chatting with. But before that he overheard their conversation which helped him easily guess who the person was.

"Tum sach me entertainment ho" Ishita managed to say amidst her laughter.

"IKR...I told you already" Mihika agreed with pride. "And please aap mujhe 'tum' mat bolo, 'tu' bolo. 'Tu' me jo apnapan hai woh 'tum' me nahi" she added.

"Ok Miss Entertainment. Ab se mai tumhe...I mean tujhe...tu bulaungi" Ishita agreed to her request.

"Thanks" Mihika thanked.

"Ahhha...thanks kyun? Thanks bolke paraya kar rahi hai. Hum behnein hain na, toh behnon me kaisi formality?" Ishita said.

The word 'behnein' caught Raman's attention. How did Ishita get to know that Mihika is her sister? Did Mihika tell her about the relationship they share? His heart began to pound in his chest.

"Oops....Sahi kaha aapne...No formalities between sisters" Mihika obliged.

"That's like a good girl" Ishita patted her back.

"I am so glad to have found you Akka" Mihika had tears as she conpleted her sentence.

"Same here" Ishita smiled.

Mihika could not stop herself from hugging Ishita. Ishita was clearly taken aback by her gesture, she could also sense some silent tears that Mihika poured on her shoulder.

"Arey! Tu ro kyun rahi hai?" Ishita said to comfort her as she rubbed her back.

"Kabhi mujhe chodke mat jaana Akka. Please mere sath rehna hamesha" Mihika pleaded while she sobbed in Ishita's embrace.

"Shhh....shhh....Mai hoon yahan. Don't cry....don't cry" Ishita tried to calm her down.

While the sisters were finding solace in each other's arms, Raman who had eavesdropped their conversation felt a pang in his heart and was in a huge dilemma. He could have barged in, the moment he realised it was none but Mihika sitting with his wife, and could have taken Ishita away with any lame excuse. But he did not dare intervene as his conscience poked him continuously.

I can't do this! I can't do this! Ishita has all the right to be with her sister. I am going to let her have her share of happiness in the company of her real sister.... He thought for once.

I have to do this! I have to do this! What if Ishita chooses her sister over me? I can't let her go just like that. I will never let her go.... He revolted in the next moment.

How can I do this? How can I do this? Do I have the right to ruin the moment of reunion between the real sisters? Do I have the right to snatch this happiness from Ishita? How can I be so selfish???? He questioned himself.

Knowing well the bond between the two and the love they had for each other, he did not have the heart to disturb them.
But again, this reunion of the sisters could create a lot of complications that would ultimately lead to him losing Ishita. Yet he could not be selfish enough to seperate them just for the fear of getting seperated from Ishita.
He felt weak yet heavy at the same time, scared but guilty for the same reason, selfless and selfish in the same moment.

He put his hand forward to hold the wall for support, but his hand accidentally hit the doorbell making it go alarming the inmates of Bhalla house. Ishita and Mihika were the first or rather the only ones to hear and react to the bell, as the other two people in the house were fast asleep.

"Excuse me" Ishita excused herself to get the door pushing Mihika gently out of the embrace.

"Ok" Mihika softly replied and bent her head to wipe her tears.

"Raman aap agaye? Itni jaldi?" Ishita was surprised to see him at the door.

"Hmmm...haan....tumne kaha tha" he replied composing himself.

"Oh haan! Maine hi kaha tha. Baaton baaton me bhool hi gayi" she smacked herself.

Mihika clenched her jaw as soon as she heard the name 'Raman'. She could not even stand his name. She kept her back towards the door so that she doesn't have to see his face.

"Arey aap baahar hi kyun khade hain ab tak? Andar aao aur dekho ke mujhse milne koun aya hai" she invited him excitedly to make the two people meet. But the two were not at all interested, forget excited, to meet.

"Dekhiye aaj ek naya rishta khoj liya maine. Ye hai meri behen Mihika" Ishita introduced Mihika to Raman.

Raman forced a smile on his face just for Ishita's sake and extended his hand formally for a shake saying "Hi"

Mihika had her hands folded across her chest and was grinding her teeth in annoyance, drilling holes in Raman's head through a deadly glare fixed at him. For a second, her vision shifted from Raman to Ishita and somehow she convinced herself to bring her hand forward to hold his. That's when her eyes landed on the bouquet of Red roses in Raman's left hand. The sight of it enraged her so much that she lost her cool and instead of shaking his right hand, she pulled the bouquet from his left hand and threw it on the floor stomping on it roughly "I hate these flowers! I hate these flowers! Inhi phoolon ne sab barbaad kiya" she screamed pouring all her hatred out on the poor flowers that were believed to spread love.

Ishita was shocked at Mihika's weird behaviour. It took her a while to compose herself and step forward to shake Mihika holding her upper arms "Mihika? Are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

Mihika suddenly stopped her foot that was ruthlessly crushing the poor flowers realising where she was. "I am sorry. I just...." Mihika did not know how to cover up for acting so. "I am sorry" she mumbled keeping her gaze to the floor and without waiting for Ishita's response made her way back to her apartment.

"Mihika wait" Ishita called out to her but Mihika would not stop.

Raman stood speechless as the realisation of why Mihika had reacted like that on the sight of those flowers dawned upon him. De javu this time too he had to regret for having got a bouquet of Red Roses for her.
