DR. IYENGER CLINIC
NEW DELHI

"Supriya I'm glad to know especially that Ishita Raman is ready to give their marriage another chance but I'm bit surprised with their decision of giving up the councilling."

"I know doctor but that's what they want."

"It's okay. Anyway tel them that I wished best of luck to them and if they need some help I'm always available for them."

"Doctor do you feel that this decision might work for them?"

"It might work for Raman but I don't know about Ishita. Anyways you wish them luck from my side, I'm hanging up now." Dr. Iyenger looked at the case file of Mr and Mrs Bhalla and sighted thinking how much simple their relationship could but how much complicated they made it. Ishita Raman are poles apart peoples who came together under bond of matrimony. Raman is a short tempered, blunt and dominating. In all these sessions she learnt that Raman is a normal Indian man who wishes to make his wife function according to his wish and desires, like what it happens in every marriage. An authoritive husband to be precise, he speaks whatever he feels right without caring of anyone's emotions, sometimes he realises the depth of his words but most of the time he don't even feel like to understand the damage his rudeness may cause.

Otherside Ishita is not a simple strong headed woman as she choose to portray, she is carrying more than what she shows. She is a shelled lady who opens up partially with peoples, there is lot she buried inside in her heart and she is not ready to bare to anyone; either due to fear of rejection or fear of shown vulnerable. There are kind of people's who scares to expose their weaker side fearing that peoples might use their weaker side to exploit them mentally and Ishita Bhalla is one of those.

Raman Bhalla is an open book, he is blunt, hot headed, rude and authoritive. He mostly does things right but never cares to explain anyone not even his wife and Ishita Bhalla is a scared and shelled woman who expect her husband to share everything with her but not ready to expose her weaker side to anyone. A marriage brings two peoples together, the relationship gives birth to expectations and when those expectations don't get fulfilled it rises doubts and misunderstandings. When they got married they made sure not to burdened each other with their own wishes but with time it all changed, they started to have something more than mere wishes which they never tried to learn anyway.

Raman Ishita are complex but deep down they're two souls trying to fight with odds for the sake of each other companionship, no matter how much they pretend but they want each other, toxic for each other sanity and inseperable by souls just like a moth and flame.

The couple doesn't look like they can settle for someone else, if they could than they would done it long back. It's true that they're for each other and it would be interesting to see how they would understand it.

Dr. Iyenger wished the couple never feel need to come back to her place but deep down she knew it's not going to be true.

PSR GLOBALS HEADQUARTERS

CEO CHAMBERS
FLOOR 40TH

It was late afternoon when Raman finally got a breath of relief after putting his mischevious daughter to sleep. When she came back from school he was in middle of an important conference hence he asked his PA, a middle aged man Mr. Prem Bansal to stay with Roohi until he finishes his meeting off. When Raman came back from meeting his absolutely quite daughter jumped on him and in next thirty minutes his huge chamber turned into play area. Roohi was running here and there, enjoying the hospitality and attention she was receiving from everyone, keeping everyone on their toes including her father. Raman himself put his work aside and asked Mr Bansal to reschedule his meeting after few hours and for next two hours Raman played with Roohi and feed her lunch and gave her medicines and finally put her sleep in the suite which was in his chambers. Roohi is a heavy sleeper and Raman hoped his little girl sleep for good two three hours so that he can finish off his pending files and now Raman was sitting with his Marketing and Sales Executives, studying stats and figures for his new non alcoholic beer project which soon launched into India. Being a young CEO he was aware with the nerves of the youth and hence he was preparing strategies to make the product famous among the youths who prefer alcohol as well as who do not prefer alcohol. This time the idea was to book a young dynamic actor maybe Tiger Shroff or Vidhyut Jamwaal of bollywood for promotion.
