The Ultimate Truth

Part 2

Next day

At Mani House

Mani and Ishita were having coffee.

Mani - Ishu Kya socha hai tumne

Ishita - Mani We need to expose Dr Manoj soon. Mani I' m having this gut feeling that Shagun is also involved in this.

Mani - How can you be so sure

Ishita - Mani .. This whole surrogacy scam . It cant be a coincidence. Shagun was working for a NGO. She very well knew that this scam was going in Dr Mukherjee Clinic. Still she was supporting this . And how come  at very last moment that lady was proved fraud. Firstly they both supported her and later she herself exposed her. Dr Manoj is not having any strong motive behind this . Suddenly she is having soft corner for me. One more thing she tries to be too sweet in front of Raman . She has done this before also. And she is doing it again . See I dont have any strong proof against her. But mera dil keh raha hai. Trust me . Something is fishy.

Mani - I trust you . Tumhe lagta hai then lets just find everything about Shagun and Manoj. Where she was in last few months. Is she actually related to Dr Manoj .

Ishita - Hmm.. Thank you Mani . Its only you whom I can trust now.

Mani - Dont say that . You are my best friend . Ishu!  I think tumhe ghar jana chahiye.

Ishita - Ghar ..Jahan Raman aj koi naya jhooth bolege.

Mani - Nahi ghar jahan tumhare bache tumhara wait kar rahe hai

Ishita looked into his eyes and smiled - Haan Mani  You are right . I need to go for my children who have loved me unconditionally.

Mani - Let me drop you. Issi bahane Amma ka Rasam bhi taste kar lunga .I really missed it

Hearing Rasam both smiled together.

Bhalla house (Breakfast table)

There was some unusual silence on the table. Everyone were having there food silently.

Soon Ruhi came out rubbing her eyes - Ishima Ishima!!! Papa Ishima kahan hai

Toshi - Apne room main hogi

Raman - Ishita ghar par nahi hai?

Toshi - Matlab Woh abhi tak clinic se nahi aayi. Raman ishita room main nahi hai

Raman - Maa Main subah utha toh woh room main nahi thi Mujhe laga woh Amma se milne gayi hogi.

Toshi - Kamaal karta hai . Aj kal tujhe shagun fikr hoti hai ( indicating towards fingerprints incident ) Aur apni garwalo ka pata nahi

There came one voice from behind

Ishita - Shagun baharwali kahan hai .Woh ek member ki tarah hi hai .

Everyone looked towards main door and saw Ishita standing next to Mani

Raman saw something in her eyes. It was not love but something else.

Toshi - Puttar tu aa gayi. Aur Mani tu kab aaya Wahah kyu khada hai .Andar aa

Mani - Main bas Ishu ko drop karne aaya tha .Main uske clinic gaya tha.Uski gadi kharab ho gayi thi. Ap sab se baad mein miluga . Meri ek important meeting hai

He turned to leave and kept his hand on Ishita hand as if assuring her. This didnt go unnoticed by Raman.

Ishita just smiled back.

Ruhi - Ishima Where were you . You didn't even wake me up. You know na I love to see your face first thing in the morning.

Ishita sat on her knees and hugged her. She closed her eyes and thanked god for sending this angel in her life. Next moment she lifted her and left towards Ruhi's room.
