IshRa FF- Love Doesn't Lessen, In fact it Deepens (COMPLETED)

Part 24

Ishita reached home completely exhausted. Already her mind was tired out by thinking over how to disclose the matter abt her trip to Raman and aarav and that unexpected confrontation wid shru at the last moment did not help matters for sure. Raman and aarav saw ishita was tired and a bit sad too so aarav spoke up bringing her water- " mom how have u been? U look tired.tabiyat theek hai aapki? Here have water."

Ishita was touched by his concern and just meekly smiled and said- " I am fine beta , dnt worry. Just tired due 2 work. Now let me cook dinner ..."saying this she got up and went to kitchen. Raman and aarav conversed through their eyes and both went to kitchen and helped ishita in making dinner. As a result cooking became faster and much easier when aarav was around both of them and they did not even realize when the time passed away and cooking was done.

When they were having dinner, ishita chose an appropriate moment to bring up the topic of her trip. She said in a plain tone- " umm aarav , raman I need to tell u guys something. Actually I am going on a trip 2moro morning. I am going to Rampur village."

Raman and aarav were surprised by this sudden visit and aarav started his questioning session- "Rampur?? Why mom? Kyun jaa rahe ho ? nahi aap nahi jaoge , aapki tabiyat bhi kharaab huyi thi abhi , aap nahi jaoge that's it."

Ishita tried to reason wid aarav- " beta its important , it's the annual visit and no one else is free. Miss bose trusts me and I have to do this 4 ngo , plzz."

Aarav was no where near to giving in and ishita signaled raman through eyes as if pleading to plz help her wid aarav. Raman understood this was really important to ishita and he decided to help her. He just asked her-" kab jaana na? kitne din ka trip hai?"

Aarav was angry now , he said- " no dude she is not going anywhere..."

Raman told aarav- "champ listen to me , see this is important for ur mom as well as for her ngo . agar tumhe kisi school trip par jaane se mom rokti toh?"

Aarav saw some sense and so he just said- "ok I will let her go , par inki tabiyat??"

This was indeed a concern even in raman's mind but he just consoled aarav- " she will be fine champ , after all she is ur mom and u are a brave boy na so cheer up."

Aarav reluctantly agreed and then just said- "ok fine , par jaane se pehle , tonight we will watch a movie, ok? Done deal???"

Ishita and raman just smiled and said- " done , now go and freshen up ."

Aarav ran in and after that raman spoke up- "ishita tumne bataya nahi, kab jaana hai? Kitne din ke liye?"

Ishita just answered meekly- " kal subah nikalna hai and ya 2 din ka trip hai , I will be back day ater 2moro night or the day after that in morning for sure."

Raman -" ok ishita , tum theek rahogi na??i mean tumhari tabiyat? And ya yeh trip safe toh hai na?"

This was the most difficult part for ishita as she had to lie now, she just looked away and said- " ya I am fine and trip is safe. Don't worry plz."

Raman said reluctantly - " ok just take care of urself . hope u will have a successful trip."

Ishita smiled and said- " I will thanks raman , aarav ko samjhaane ke liye bhi."

Raman said- " its nothing , now lets go in before he changes his mind."

Raman went to washroom , he was in deep thought.he did not knew why but his heart and mind said this trip was not what it looked like , he did not feel good abt this trip. This is the reason he tried to ask ishita abt it but wid her answers he was a bit satisfied so he let it go. 

He did not want to burden ishita wid his dominance and so he decided to allow her to do her work and fulfill her professional commitments. He freshened up and all 3 of them sat down to watch JAB WE MET on DVD.

Soon 3 of them were watching movie after dimming the lights and as the movie started rolling, ishra cud not help but go into flashback mode. First meeting of aditya and geet when geet keeps talking and shouting and aditya gets angry made them remember their own first meeting in the society when raman did not pay heed to ruhi and ishita got angry on raman and raman was angry her telling her not to interfere.

 When aditya and geet became friends, ishra cud not help recalling all those bedroom moments after their marriage when they had fought and became the best of friends before after husband and wife.

 When 3rd angle entered aditya and geet's story , raman cud not help but painfully remember the times when ishita had suffered becoz of him doubting on abhimanyu or when ishita had suffered becoz of shagun in bhalla house. When geet hugged aditya in the hotel towards the end , ishra recalled their holi washroom romance when they were just abt 2 confess and start their new life together  but alas the happy ending of the movie was not synonymous wid their story which had still not found its happy ending.

As the credits started rolling on , ishita noticed aarav had already slept and then she saw raman silently getting up and moving towards the hall. She cud understand somewhere what he might be feeling but this time she cud not help but get up and move after him to talk to him, something which she had not done properly in ages.
