Ishita is still leaning against her parent's door . The memories of her past have totally thrown her off track. It felt like it happened yesterday. She felt all the pain and just wanted to forget everything, but she also felt gratitude, she was thankful to her family and especially to her mother.

Without her mother she would have made the biggest mistake of her life. Without her mother, she would not have Anjali. Her mother had prevented her from making a big mistake. Her daughter was innocent and she was happy to have her, blessed to be her mother.

She was grateful to Raman, without him she would not have made it. ...He was her rock, her inspiration, her balance,her support, her claim. her anchor.

He's my comforter, my assurance that I am always safe in his arms and Lost in love in his eyes. My husband.

The memory of that terrible night still raged in her head and she tried to wipe it out of her mind

Ishita was so lost in thought that she did not notice Raman. He touched her shoulder to get her attention. "Ishita, everything OK."?

He interrupted her thoughts ...... "NO, don't touch me." !!!! she screamed

Raman was startled, he withdrew his hand back, as if he had burned. ..."I'm sorry, I did not want to disturb or scare you....Take your time." He turned and left.

Ishita sighed and closed her eyes. Why is she always hurting the people she loved ? She had hurt him with her behavior. She had seen the pain in his eyes.

She took her phone out of her bag and called Amma. "Amma, is everything okay with Anjali"?

"Ishu, I also wanted to call you, Anjali would like to stay with us to Night . ."

"Okay Amma,,come to us tomorrow morning for breakfast and give her a kiss from me."

"Don't Worry Ishu, she's alright." said Amma

"Thank you, Amma."

Ishita ended the call and went back home. Ishita came into the house and saw Mihika and Simmi sitting in the kitchen. She assumed, that the rest of the family were already in their room.

"Akka, everything is ok with Anjali"? Mihika asked

"Yes, she stays at Amma and Appa tonight."

She went up the stairs and checked Ruhi and Pihu. Then she went to her bedroom. Raman was not there, she went and checked if he was in the bathroom, but he was not there either.

Ishita went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. She needed a shower first. When she was in the shower, she began to cry.

"To hell with you Subu."

Raman came into the room and heard the shower. Ishita was back. He was out for a walk, he needed fresh air. He did not know what to think. He understood Ishita, after all these years her tormentor stood before her. It was natural that she was affected.
But it had hurt him when Ishita yelled at him with the words "Don't touch me"

Raman stood by the window, breathing in fresh air. He looked out and took a deep breath. Raman had the feeling that everything was out of control.

The beginning of his marriage had not been easy. But the difficult time had welded him and Ishita together. Strangers became friends and friends became lovers. They had a good marriage.
