The Binding String

* By the time I realised that it's not my best writeup I was done typing 70% of the chapter so pardon me if you don't find this chapter good one. I might rewrite this chapter later.

She is strongest
Maybe she doesn't know
But she is
Because she know how to fight the battles
Nobody knows about.

The car ride which Ishita started from her her sister apartment straightway stopped outside of the park which was opposite of her residential building. Ishita parked the car aside and walked inside the park with heavy eyes. The pain of being dejected was too much for her to handle, Ishita never chose to showcase her fears to anyone with an assumption that no one can understand her inner turmoil better and today for another time her assumption turned true. For another time her family proved that they are interested in accusing her rather than trying to understand her point. Ishita life wasn't easy ever but she chose to keep brave face and faced everything came to her way, maybe all she wishes to have someone who can share her worries and she is disappointed as her lone wish never get fulfilled. Before marriage no one showed interest in listening her and after marriage her husband never had time to take interstitial in her life which eventually made her a rigid and unaffected woman over the years. The winds were blowing and the sun was shining in the sky, it was four of evening and today sky was clear. The park was mostly empty and it gave her liberty to shed down the tears she was stopping from long time.

How hard a person assumes himself or herself to be but deep down every single person wants to be desired by someone, loved and admired by those who are close to her and same goes with Ishita. And today she wasn't that hurt because in deep down she knew Roohi needs her and appearently Raman want her in his life. Whatever she did for her mother and sister was a part of her duty which she performed well. Now she should back out because their ideologies cannot match ever if they're blood sisters. Ishita still cried, she showed her tears to the nature and dreaded on her fate but as the dawn appeared and little kids started to arrive she wiped her tears and made her way to apartment. Aaj main Roohi ke saath apni poori evening spend karoongi. Aur aaj usse cycling ke liye bhi le chaloongi. (I will take Roohi for cycling today. I have decided to spend entire day with Roohi.)

Ishita made plan for the evening as the elevator was taking her to twentieth floor. She excitedly rang the doorbell hoping Neelu would open the door but the person presence from other side left her shocked, "Mummy Ji." Ishita squealed with delight and launched herself in her mother's in law arms who equally started to jump seeing her beloved bahu. "Aap kab aaye?" (When you came?) Ishita finally asked after hugging her mother in law heart content.

"An hour back dear. We were missing you guys alot." Santhosh replied kissing Ishita forehead. Ishita walked towards her father in law and touched his feet who was playing with Roohi in TV lounge. "Welcome back Papa Ji." Ishita sat beside her father in law elated to see him after so long.

"Thank you dear. We were really missing you three." Om replied lowering down the volume of TV. Roohi who was sitting on her Dadu lap jumped towards her mother making Ishita giggle. She kissed Roohi's cheeks and asked Neelu to prepare tea for all. The stress and tension happened at her mother place vanished in thin air all thanks to her in laws who were enjoying with Roohi. "Does Raman know?" Ishita asked once they all settled at dining table with a cup of tea and beverages.
