BHALLA HOUSE
'Raman puttar, please understand.. These madrasis are not a good match for us. They have their greedy eyes on our wealth.. They're nothing but bloody gold-digger.'
'Ma stop talking nonsense. I love her like anything ma. And why would she trap me?? She is extreme beautiful.. From both inside and outside. She's intelligent and ofcourse.. Polite. And please ma.. I'm leaving for London tomorrow. Don't create any mess here. I'll marry ishita only.'
He left the room to avoid further arguments...
YOU'RE FOOL IN LOVE MY SON. BUT I'LL NOT LET THAT GIRL DESTROY YOUR LIFE.' Santosh was all set to simulate her son's life. But as we all know.. At end.. Only destiny decides what would happen.
IYER HOUSE.. CHENNAI
'Akka.. I know what you were doing last night.'
'Miku.. Stop being CID.. Okay??'
'Oh come on akka... Ishq chhupta nahi chhupane se...'
'Stop these filmy dialouges mihika.. Love is not a crime, is it??'
'No it isn't. But hiding it from your sister is definitely a crime.'
Two chirpy sisters were busy in their girly talks. Only if they knew.. Their mother, madhavi iyer was listening to their convo.
Madhavi went to her husband to discuss the stuff.. Which would make every single parent worry for...
'Vishva, it's time we should get ishu married.'
'Madhu.. I was also thinking the same. Have you found any suitable guy??'
'Vishva.. She loves raman. I told you na.. These two are made for each other. I think we should talk to santoshi.'
'Madhavi.. Calm down.. Wait for sometime. We will first talk to ishu. Okay??'
'Seri..seri..' Madhavi prayed to murugan to make her daughter's life joyful.
FEW DAYS LATER.. IYER HOUSE
Madhavi was overjoyed. A CALL FROM SANTOSH!!! Her daughter was going to marry a Prince Charming like man in real!!!
'Hello.. Mrs. Iyer'
'Yes .. Yes.. Santoshi'
Santosh never liked hearing 'santoshi' from madhavi. That sounded so downmarket.
'Can I talk to ishita. Please??'
'Yes.. Ofcourse..' 'ISHU..'
'Yes aunty.. How're you?? '
'I'm fine. I need to talk to you.'
'Yes please.. Aunty.'
'Please stay away from my son. I want him to marry SHAGUN ARORA. She's a model and daughter of very rich business man Anirudh ARORA. She's just perfect for him. If you're still firm enough to marry him.. I'm gonna break all ties with you.. Your family .. And raman..too.'
Ishita felt like her heart was torn into thousand pieces. She was too shocked to speak anything.
'Aunty.. Please.. Just..'
'Marriage isn't a joke. Raman will have to choose between you and me. If you're wise enough to understand.. Please go far away from him.'
The line was cut from other end. Ishita felt like she was thrown into black hole.
She cried and cried and cried. Without raman... She was like a fish withot water. .. Craving for life...what would she say to her amma?? She immediately swiped her tears.. And thoughtfully opened her message box..
RAVANKUMAR : JKR.. I miss you so much. Are you going to cooking class or not? I'm a total foody and you know that sweety..
ASHOK KHANNA : hey jaan.. You are looking freakin sexy in dp.
She sighed. Ashok was their college mate. He was flat on her since her first day at college. He had also proposed her for marriage.. But she had always considered him as a friend. A beep sound broke her trance.
ASHOK KHANNA : can we meet for a coffee??
She firmly wrote a message and sent to him..
ISHITA IYER : 5 pm , CCD
ASHOK was stunned. He had asked her for coffee for like thousands of time. But she hadn't agreed even for once but today she agreed in one go!! He grinned.
FEW HOURS LATER. CCD chennai
'Ashok.. I know you're waiting for my reply to your proposal even now. I'm ready but with a few conditions...'
'Ask for my life jaan.. I can give you anything. You know I'm head of chennai department of my father's company. Ask for the whole world. '
Ishita was irritated with his boasting.
'I want to go far away from chennai.'
'Well this was the condition I guess. Don't worry dear.. I'll handle Delhi from now on. We'll shift to Delhi.'
'There won't be any physical bonding between us. I hope you'll agree for it.'
ASHOK smirked. FOR HOW LONG WILL YOU ABLE TO RESIST AK MY LOVE?? he thought...
'I agree.'
'And third condition is most difficult. I'm afraid you'll leave me for it..'
'Are say jaan..'
'I'm pregnant ASHOK!!!'
!!!???!!!!???? ASHOK was too shocked to react. He gulped down the whole glass of water to calm his nerves.
'You'll not ask me anything about the child. I'll bring up the child on my own salary. '
'This is too much to ask for.. But you know what ... I'm ready. But for that.. You'll have to agree for my condition. '
'What's that??'
'Everybody knows I'm a womaniser. So you'll not create a scene if ... You know..'
'I agree with it.' What the hell did she care about his affairs??'
'Okay.. We're going to marry tomorrow.. Without any family interference. A simple temple marriage. Without any fuss.' Ishita was determined to go far away from her only childhood love..
She left.
COME ON DARLING .. YOU'LL COME TO YOUR HUBBY ONE DAY. I'LL WAIT FOR THE CELEBRATION
FEW MONTHS LATERBHALLA HOUSE,
'Welcome puttar.. How was your training session??'
'It was good ma.'
He was keen to talk to his lady love.. He dialed her number.
What!!! She cut his call??!!?? No!! Maybe it was a mistake!! He called again and again.
'No use, puttar. I told you that girl is gold-digger. She's married to the richest ASHOK KHANNA. '
'Ma. Stop talking nonsense, will you??'
'You're such a fool my son. She is interested in money and luxury only. See this.' She pointed to the headlines of an old newspaper. Ishita wanted a quick marriage.. But it was impossible to stop media. The media had collected enough proofs to show the people that THE ASHOK KHANNA WAS MARRIED TO A BEAUTIFUL IIMC GRADUATE GIRL.
He had suspected some problem in their relationship when he was in London. She hadn't replied to his emails or messages or even phone calls. But he had never thought she would be disloyal to him.. Not even in his dreams.
FEW DAYS LATER
Ishita was sitting on the balcony chair of her new home with a baby bump of 7 months. She would have died in that lifeless house if she did not have a life in her tummy. She was looking more beautiful now. Her skin like a melting gold. Her hair was shining more.
She was all alone now with her baby bump. Her amma appa had broken all ties with her because of her sudden hidden marriage with a jerk like person.
Suddenly-
'Memsahib. Someone has come to meet you.'
'I'm coming.'
Ishita came downstairs with the help of a maid.
RAMAN!!!!!
Their eyes met!! She looked down. Raman had noticed her baby bump.
'Congrqtulations mrs. Ishita ASHOK KHANNA. I can understand you were too busy to call me in your wedding .. But I'm here to wish you a very happy marriage life.'
'Raman.. I..'
'Don't take my name from your shitty tongue. I'm done with you. Don't you even dare enter my life again. But yes.. I'm here to invite you for a special occasion. You'll be the chief guest dear. My marriage with A SUITABLE PUNJABI GIRL... Not with a bloody disloyal madrasi girl.. Who can leave her childhood love for just some bundles of note!!'
He left angrily. Ishita felt on the floor and started crying loudly.
Maid came hurriedly...
'Ma'am please take care.. You're in a delicate phase of life.'
PEHLE KABHI NA TUNE MUJHE GUM DIYA
PHIR MUJHE KYU TANHA KAR DIYA
GUZARE THEY JO LAMHE PYAR KE
HAMESHA TUJHE APNA MAAN KE
TO PHIR TUNE BADLI KYU ADA
YEH KYU KIYA
