ISHRA Bedroom
He closed the door and hugged her instantly. Ishita was overwhelmed with his behaviour and thought that may be he would also confess his feelings today.
R- Ishita I want to say something and hoping that feeling is mutual
I- got happy and nodded him to say further
R- hold her hand in his, and said,Ishita in this one year you have become an important part of my life or you can say, you are the one with whom I can share my all pain and happiness. You are my bestie and will remain forever whether we will be together or not.
I- she put her hand on his mouth to shut him and said, never ever speak like this Raman. Why we will not be together
R- i didn't mean like this Ishita. I want to say today our contract is over and we will not live under same room but we will be together as a friend for life
I- got shattered listening to him and left his hand from hers
R- what happened Ishita, I hope feeling is mutual because in our relationship I tried to find love but there is only friendship. I don't want us to suffer in a loveless marriage.
Ishita's eyes got teary listening to him and lifelessly sat down on the bed.

Raman got confused with her reaction, he sat down near her feet and hold her hands
R- Ishita what happened??.. Did I said anything wrong
I- she confidentially looked into his eyes and tears were flowing from her eyes and said, yes Raman you are wrong.
R- he hold  his face in his palms and said, tell me what is wrong in that
I- Raman one day you told me that if ever you hurt me I can tell you
R- yes Ishita you can tell me freely
I- Raman "I LOVE YOU"
R- shocked
I- may be you didn't found any love in our marriage but I found it in you at every moment. May be this marriage is only a contract for you but for me I have lived my whole life in this one year.
R- he wiped her tears and said, sorry Ishita I hurted you unintentionally but I tried to love you but
I- she cut him in between and said, don't be sorry Raman. It's not your fault that you didn't fell for me and started crying bitterly by hugging him
R- Shhh... Ishita. Please don't cry, you are my best friend you know na, if you want this marriage to continue then we will and I will try to love you. I promise
I- She broke the hug and said, no raman. My love for you is not that small that I will bind you with me just because I want us to be together. Your happiness matters to me the most whether I am a lover or a friend for you. So please, your friendship in this one year is like a treasure for me and with this treasure I can live my remaining life like a queen.
R- Ishita... I am not able to understand what should I do now? He has also tears in his eyes seeing Ishita's tears
I- she smiles for him so that he doesn't feel guilty and said, we will go to court tomorrow and submit the papers. I also don't want to live in a loveless marriage. Now smile please..
R- you will be ok na Ishita.... Tell me truthfully?
I- I will Raman... Promise. Now get up I am tired, want some sleep.
R- Hmm.... Both takes their side of bed, not facing each other.
Both were in tears, Ishita because she lost her first and last love and Raman due to his guilt that he had hurted his best friend.
