CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Ishita still in Jai's embrace finally let out all the tears she had held back because of shame that maybe she denied him that right if having a dad around. Even with all his wrongs and faults, he was after all Jai's dad; also because of guilt she had killed someone and that so Jai's dad.

She had no regrets for killing him because she understood that that was the only option they had if they ever were to get the hell out of that compound but she did feel bad about it, just like any human being with a conscience would and she had always hoped that her brother understood that.

She had a bad habit of not taking about anything especially if it meant really talking about her, not the parts everyone wanted to see, not the parts she wanted people to see. If there was anyone who would see beyond that facade, it was Jai. Abhimanyu was the only one she was ever close with and that was because of default, he was there at the worst moments of her life and he happened to be a very good shoulder for her, a shoulder she had gladly accepted because she not only needed to but also had no option.

'I am so sorry, I just heard her talk and everything about you I know isn't true is what I imagined and for that I apologized.'' Ishita finally managed to say in the middle of her sobs

'No I am sorry, I should have spoken up more when she said all those things, you didn't deserve that.'' Said Jai as he finally let go of her

'I don't want to fight with you ever again.'' She said as she wiped her tears

'Well believe me I never want to feel like the way I have been for the last couple of weeks ever again.'' Said Jai as tried to hide his tears

Ishita looked at him and smiled as he tried to play tough guy and couldn't believe how far they had come. He little brother wasn't so little after all. She did however wounder

'Do you miss Lucknow? Please be honest with me.'' She said

'Ishu, I swear on you I do not miss a thing about Lucknow, everything I want and love is right here.'' He said

'Are you sure...'' she asked

'As I can possibly be...'' he replied smilingly

'How about Sarika? What next?'' she asked

'Let us just say, it hurts without her but I will be okay'' he tried to answer with utmost honesty.

As they talked they saw Raman walk into the living room almost as if he was in a world of his own and wasn't quite sure where the hell he was going

Raman stood there in disbelief not even knowing how to process this information. He didn't even know whether to believe it or not. But it came from Abhimanyu, the great Mani, then it might have been true, even Mihika seemed to have believed him, so why shouldn't he. But could it be possible.

He slowly walked from the kitchen door aimlessly until he found himself in the living room standing in front of Ishita

'Hey Raman are you okay,'' asked Ishita but he just kept on staring at her

'Why are you looking at me like that?'' she asked a bit shocked at his behavior

'Is it true...'' he finally managed to say

Ishita holding her breath hoped to God he hadn't heard what Jai and she were talking about

'Is what true...'' she asked looking at him

Raman looked at the expression in her eyes and the tears she was desperately trying to hide and knew he may have just walked into something he shouldn't have. But in that moment he didn't even care because all that kept echoing through his mind were Abhimanyu's words.
