Kya Yeh Hai Mohabbatein?

Bewafaa

"Ishita Auntyyyyyy... aap galat kaar rahe ho!" Ruhi screamed as she watched Ishita dress Muttu. "Isko black suit pehna hai, blue suit nahi."

The both ladies were dressing up Muttu because they themselves had to go to a very big event. They were going to a business conference. Before Ishita got ready, she had waited for Ruhi to come as promised yesterday. And sure enough, exactly two hours before the event, Ruhi bounced her way over to Ishita's house. They sat together and had a small snack before proceeding to get ready. First, they both wore their outfits. Ruhi was in a dark black western dress. The dress had silver zari around the neck, sleeves and bottom. In the middle of the dress, there were big flowers embroidered with golden string. Ishita was wearing a dark black anarkali. Coincidentally enough, their dresses were bought at the same place so their designs were similar. Ishita had gold zari around the neck. With it, she had a chunni that went over her shoulder It was a black net with golden polkadots and thick golden strip surrounding it.

"Ruhi, you're looking absolutely gorgeoussss!" Ishita said. She looked at Ruhi and she was overwhelmed with happiness. She was such an adorable kid.

"Thank you Ishita Aunty. Aap bhi bahooooot pretty lag rahi ho. Mere Muttu bhi dekho, kaisa handsome lag raha hai. I'm sad that Muttu humare saath nahi aa sakta lekin koi baat nahi!" Ruhi said.

Just then, the doorbell rang and both Ishita and Ruhi ran to the door. Ishita was so excited. She opened the door. It was Prateek's secretary.

"Hello Madam." she said. "Aap rateek ki fiancé ho?"

"Ji. Mein Ishita. Aap?" Ishita asked, startled at who this lady was.

"Mein Prateek ki secretary hoon. Mein aapko yeh kehne aayi thi Prateek abh yeh shaadi nahi karna chahta aur aap jaldi mein mujhe aapki ring dedijye. Usne kaha hai ki tum banj ho aur tum maa nahi ban sakti. Usse lagta hai ke jab pyar rishte mein nahi hoga, tab bachi hi hote hai jo rishte ko nibhate hai, lekin tum toh usse woh de nahi sakti."

Taken by surprise, Ishita took a few steps back from the secretary. A thousand thoughts crossed her mind about whether his love was a joke, if she had been stupid enough to believe that anyone would have wanted an infertile wife, or that he had been so heartless to promise the things he could never give her. Devestated, she slowly looked at the ring and took it off. She handed it to the secretary, shut the door, and ran into her room. Ruhi, who had just witnessed all of this drama was also surprised that a man would do this. Mere papa toh aise kabhi nahi karte kisi ke saath, she thought. She followed Ishita into the room to see Ishita crying endless tears. Amma and Appa tried to come after her but she wouldn't listen to anything they were saying. Atlas, Ishita looked up when Ruhi ran to her.

"Ruhi beta, aap yaha se jao abhi. Tumhe aapne papa ke saath event peh jaana hai na?" Ishita said in the most calmest voice she could possibly keep although the tears were still running off of her cheeks and her beath was not in rhythm.

"Nahi Ishita Aunty. Mein aapke bina nahi jaungi. Aap ek kaam kijye. Mere papa ke saath aap jaiye. Vaise bhi meri mumma toh nahi hai, toh aap ek din ke liye meri mumma bunjao." Ruhi said. She had thought about this earlier but she knew that Ishita Aunty already had someone to go with but now that that wasn't a problem, Ishita Aunty could go with her papa.

As Ishita started to speak "Nahi beta, aisa nahi hota, mein tumhari mu-", Ruhi came, held Ishita's hand and pulled it all the way to her house. Inside, her papa was getting ready to get going.

"Kya hai Ruhi? Humme jaane ke liye late nahi ho raha? Tum kabhi bhi time pe nahi hoti. Papa ko jaana hai. Aur tum ISKO kyu layayi?" he said.

"He..Hello. Aap ki beti ne mujhe leaya hai yaha, event peh jaane ke liye." Ishita stammered.

Will Ruhi's papa be the arrogant and stubborn man he is or will he take Ishita as his date for the event for his daughter? Come back tomorrow to find out.
