Finding the Lost Souls (Watty 2018)

ONE MONTH LATER ✔

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you guys understand the prospective and agenda of this project. We will be glad if you cooperate us and complete the work sooner. For more information you can contact with Mihir. Thank You." Raman ended his short speech and gestured his team to leave conference room. After sometime he loosened his tie and slumped over chair and ordered two cup tea.

"Thank god you came today. Many things sorted with this meeting. Now I don't think you have much need to come until for two weeks"

Lost in his different world, Raman unlocked his phone and dialled landline number.

"Hello.....Dai Ma. How's everything? Did she took her lunch?...Ok... Be with her. I will be at home by 3."

"How's Ishita Bhabhi Raman?"

"Same as before" Raman expressionless tone made Mihir sighted. He thanked peon for bringing tea and forwarded another cup to Raman.

Raman rubbed his temple and closed his eyes. The past few days started to spin around his eyes. It was nothing less then but days of dilemma for him. From making Ishita comfortable to assuring his parents, everything was challenging for him. Being uncomfortable with each other was another big task for him, they were already not comfortable with each other due to lack of communications and after the incident, things became more worser between them. Raman was with her, for every second but there was nothing between them to talk. He was trying his level best to overcome from that incident but he also knew that it was not easy for her to forgot.

"Raman are you fine?" Getting no response from Raman Mihir tap his shoulder.

"You was saying something?"

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm.."

"Bhabhi?"

"She is fine as well."

"She must be. After all you are with her. I know you are taking her great care. But bhai why did you talked to Dai Ma? You can asked directly to Ishita Bhabhi"

"That's the only problem we have Mihir. This lack of communication is not helping me to talk her"

"Bhai....."

"Mihir you know we were never comfortable with each other. This marriage never comforted me and now after this incident.......everything is messed Mihir" Raman rubbed his forehead and continued to read files before going home.

"Is she is scared?"

"Yes.....she started to get nightmares. I even asked her to come at psychologist but she denied"

"But I can come with you. We will share bhabhi problem with doctor"

"I already did that. According to him I should divert her attention. That's why I allowed her to do my little work, like selecting my clothes, arranging my stuffs, doing our lunch and dinner together etc but I think it's not enough"

How much you changed Raman? Are you same person who never let anyone touch his personal things? Who never allowed anyone to enter in his life? Mihir wondered and looked at Raman who picked his bag and car keys to go home.

"Will you come with me? "

"Yep. It's long since I met bhabhi. Come....." Mihir shoved his phone in his pocket and both retired to Raman place.

"And did you remembered how  once you made  our seniors scared with skeleton at night? Poor  people's, they kept themselve away from you until they passed college. Oh God...... that was terrific......" Mihika chuckled recalling old day, she expected reply from her friend but all she found her lost in her own world. Tears were trickling down from her eyes while she scooted  her knees against her chest. The world was not existing for her. Mihika slowly shook her shoulders and tried to bring her out from her world.
