THE SEED

chapter 6

The Alyer's were parking their bags to live for Delhi in few hours, all thanks to Romi who somehow managed to make his father agree on letting Ishu meet her best on such a big day of his. Even he was there with his he, after all he was his Lawyer, and in between all this they managed to become good friends too.

Mi.. Akka you must be happy naah, after so long, now you going to meet your boyfriend.....

I... Mika you don't understand how happy i am today, plus i haven't told Raman that am coming, he will be so surprised to me there, i will buy him a lot of gift, after all my best friend is getting married.

Mi... But Akka what will you but for Shagan? Even she is getting married too.

I... So what she is not my friend, i used to like her before she shows her true nature. I am only Raman friend so i will gift my Friend only. Even dad is coming along this will be great venture for all of us.

Mi... But you know what will be even greater?

I... What!!!

Mi... If my Akka was getting married to her best friend/lover.

I... Mika what you saying, Me and Raman never that is totally nonsense.

Mi... ooh come on Akka, i know what you feeling okey. You might not voice it out but i know what is in my Akka heart.

I... Mika you are to much Raman is vest friend nothing more. And am very happy for him.

Mi... Okey than get Shagun a gift too than, and prove to me that you don't love your best friend at all.

I... Stop your nonsense Mihika. Let me pack my bags, and you should go and do yours too. Instead of waisting time blabbering all that nonsense.

Mi... Akka you know i saw you the other day crying in your room holding his picture, the same week when he told you about his wedding. So i thought that maybe you love him, sorry if i made you angry.

What Mihika said left her in a huge dilemma, was she in love with her best friend, ooh it was love that always existed between them, ooh was she blind to recognised her heart beating for him? Yes she felt really bad when he told her about his wedding but she always new that he was going to marry Shagun someday, but this soon, she found it really hard to bare. She did approve of her when he asked her. But now she wished she never did no such thing. She wipe her tears promising her heart that no matter what might be that she thought she was feeling for him it will never be greater than his happiness, she was now going to attend his wedding with a huge smile and be part of his happiness.

Forgetting everything the Alyer clan went to the airport, and in the few hours there were landed in Delhi, ishita was so happy after a lot of promising Raman that one day she will surely come to Delhi to meet him, now that promise was being fulfilled. She was going to meet her best friend it a dream coming true. They all went to Romi's house waiting for the big day tomorrow. Raman was so angry at Ishita he tried calling her many times but Madam was not eager to answer her phone. He even asked Romi many times about her crazy sister's where about but even he had no clues. Things couldn't get better Shagun got a call from the "THE" Doctor who did their check up weeks back, this evening she was going to get the report back and finale they can get married in piece.

Later that same evening Shagun along with Ashok went to collect the report. The following day was the grand wedding and Raman was all set to give his life a new meaning a new beginning, but a part of him wanted to share this day with his best friend now that she was no where to be a part of his happiness in pain him in his heart. Raman was all set waiting for Shagun to come down stairs. But he was harshly called by the elders for some new drama happing up stairs. Both family were fighting shouting to each other as if they were on a war zone with each other. For once he wished to run away from all this, but he cant.

R... Everyone is waiting for us, and you people are fighting like kids over a sweet. Why have you all called me here now? He asked really annoyed at this family saga.

Mr A... This marriage wont take place, not ever.

R... Can you people tell me what is going on here? And why at the last minute are you calling out this marriage. Yesterday you all were happy about this wedding now, now what changed ? Shagun why are Mum say something darn? You are letting your father come between us?.

S... And when were you going to tell me that, i was a deal for you? You know i have been your fiance for so long, but now i get it, if dad did not invest in your Company that means you were never going to marry me. Guess what am very happy that you did not, because if you did it would have been my biggest mistake i ever made.

R... I wont ask again, he said his eyes splitting fire to everyone in that house. He twisted shagun arm not letting her get away that easy. Now you are going to tell me ooh should i make you talk?.

Mr A.. what can she tell you, look for your self. He said throwing the Doctors report in his face, but before he can ready it. He took Shagun hands in his.

R... Shagun i don't care what this stupid report is saying, i need you, and i know that even you cant leave without me. Just forget all this and get married.

S... BUT I DO RAMAN I DO!!! She yelled on top of her voice living Raman shocked for a moment on her behaviour. I don't have any problems but....but you do!!

He did not believe his ears he asked her again, and she repeated the same thing over and over trying to register this bitter truth in his mind but nothing was making any senses, he was a man a really man, but all this was just not making any senses. He halfhearted took the report that was lying on the floor and looked at it trying make sure that what he heard just now, was not a mistake, this was it it broke him completely to see all this, he took his dead body out side to where everyone were still holding this piece of paper in his hands.

He try to look around but his eyes were filled with tears that were making his vision blur. Romi ran to him and side hug him making sure that he does not fall from the stairs. In all this his vision did not deserved him, when he spotted the only face he needed the most at moment his Ishita. She was there wearing a blue Sari his favorite colure, the same Sari he have sent to her a week back. Without worrying about anyone he rushed toward her ad looking at her this close he was amazed at first. But the only worlds that wee able to come out of his mouth, broke her from within.

R... It...it all over jaan, everything is finished now. He said with tears running down his face.

I... R. Raman!!

She was no less seeing him this broken, it also broke her too, without waiting for a second she caged him in her arms hugging him trying take his pain away from him but it was no use. He needed time to be in his old self. She took the report from him and read it after a few second she tighten her hold on him. Now she new what must have happened inside.

I... Raman loo at me, raman.... she hold his face in her hands making him to face her. You are the best Raman don't let useless people ooh this piece of paper tell you otherwise. See this just means nothing at all what matters is your heart, and i know how my Raman heart is like,it pure as gold. And anyone who will come in your life will be blessed to have you. You are the best son, brother and you are the best best friend one can have and am one of those who are lucky to have you in their life's. My life is wealth living all because of you. Raman please you are stronger than this.

R... you...you wont leave me like anyone else, right?

I... Raman am here and am not going anywhere living you like this, i will be with you, but you need to rest for now okey.

He nodded his head like a kid, and Ishita asked Romi to take him inside and have some rest...... but wat she saw next made her blood boil, this Shagun was making a ruckus defaming Raman it front the media and everyone. She went to her and gave her one big tight slap, gaining everyone attention..........
