I Never Searched, But I Found You

Part 14

The next few days both procured their documents.
Then Raman ,Ishita and the familie went to Marriage Officer, for Notice of marriage. Both and their witnesses ( Romi, Mihika and Bala) filled and sign the declaration. Now they had to wait 30 days

A few days later, Ishita had a doctor's appointment for a Examination . Mihika accompanies her. Everything was fine with the baby. Mihika asked if she did not want to tell Raman that she was by the doctor and that everything was fine with the baby.
I: Mihika, he has not even asked for the baby. If he does not ask how I am, that's fine with me, So why should I tell him anything, if it doesn't interest him ?
I will marry him because of the baby, but I will take care of my child. I just hope he does not ignore the child, when it's there.

M: Don't worry Akka, everything will be fine.

A few days later, Mrs.Arora and her daughter Shagun came to the Bhalla's. Mrs.Bhalla was not pleased at all about the visit. She knew Mrs.Arora would like to see Raman as her SIL. And she too wanted Shagun as her DIL, but that was not possible anymore. Because this innocent-looking girl next door had lured her son into the "baby trap"

Shagun was curious and desperately wanted to know, who Ishita was and what was so urgent the  one evening, that they had to cancel their visit.

SH:  Aunty, are the new neighbors related?
Mrs.B thought, not yet
Raman, coming down the stairs, heard Shagun's question. Shagun looked stunning, but he could not deny Ishita and the child.

R:  Yes, they are relatives.
SH:  Hello Raman, Relative ? in what way ?
R: Ishita is my wife.

Shagun and her mother were shocked and Mrs.Bhalla wanted to slap Raman.

SH: You are married, since when ?
R: For a little over 6 months.

Mrs.Arora looked at Mrs.Bhalla and said "Your son has been married for over 6 months and you did not feel it necessary to mention it"?

Mrs. Bhalla did not know what to say.

R: My parents or anyone else did not know about it. I secretly married Ishita. We are Punjabi and Ishita is from South India. Maa wanted a Punjabi DIL and that's why I secretly married Ishita. But we will soon be parents and now it was time to tell my parents the truth. End of the story.

Shagun,her Mother and Mrs.Bhalla were speechless. Shagun could not believe, that this simple girl could catch RKB. Mrs.Arora was angry and wanted to leave immediately. She got up and said "Shagun, we're leaving" She slammed the door.

Mrs.B: Why did you do that ?  So far, you have not married this girl yet.

R: Ishita is visibly pregnant mom, i do not want people talking bad. Ishita is innocent.

Mrs.B: If she were so innocent, she would not be unmarried pregnant.

R: Ma, she is pregnant with my child, with your grandchild.

Raman went out, he needed fresh air.He saw Ishita sitting on the bench outside. He went to her and sat next to her.

R: Hi, what are you doing out here alone ?
I: The same could I ask you.
R:  We will soon be parents and don't know each other. How about , f we get to know each other and become friends.?
Ishita smiled "agree"

The two sat for a long time on the bench and talked. They talk about all kinds of things, but not, about their night together.
The next evenings, they met in the evening on the bench to talk.

The 30-day waiting period passed quickly.
In 2 days was the appointment for the court marriage. 

Raman felt he had to go to jail. Ishita was a very nice woman and he enjoyed the conversations with her. She was intelligent and had humor. Apart from its beauty, it was also beauty inside. But he was not in love with her. But that was not necessary, in a year everything was over again.

Ishita also enjoyed the company of Raman. He was handsome and nice . But a playboy from head to toe. No woman, plans a future with such a man .

Two days later
Today Raman and Ishita would marry.
Ishita was visibly nervous and tried to hide her pregnant belly. By now she was seven months pregnant and it was impossible to hide.

Only the family of the two were there. Everything went very fast, Ramsn and Ishita spoke the words and signed. Their witnesses signed. They were declared husband and wife and got the marriage certificate.

They were now Mr. and Mrs. Raman Kumar Bhalla..
