Recap: IshRan conversation - Sharan breaks down

Ishana's POV

I decided to leave this house before Sharan returns back home. He doesn't deserve any explanation from me. I left him a note though explaining how I would return his money soon. I will figure out everything else later but first I need to get out of this place.

Perhaps, he would just get home if I leave? Why separate him from his family? I really don't think that I am lucky enough to have a family. I mean, first my parents and now them too. But now I can only do one thing and that is leave this place.

They will all still be sleeping and I shall sneak out of this place. I anyways left a note for Sharan and he will explain everything else to them. When I walk downstairs I am surprised to see the twins and appa are sitting in the living room. When had the twins gotten up?

Before I could react and move away, they spot me and my luggage.

"Ishudi?" they call out shocked.

"Are you leaving us?" Varna asked when I continued to get down the stairs.

Appa is just standing there with a pained expression on his face.

"I am really sorry but I am leaving. Sharan will come back soon after I leave so don't worry" I said as I started to leave but Veena held the hand in which I was holding my bag.

"We love our Bhaiyya, Ishudi but we love you too. We have always treated you like we would our mother and moreover why are you leaving when the mistake isn't ours"

"I am not leaving because I thought that the mistake is mine. I have my own reasons for leaving. Sorry" I reasoned. What else can I say?

Varna always the emotional one, stood at her spot crying silently.

"So you too are going to leave us?Just like mom did? Everybody will leave me" she said, her voice was so low that I almost couldn't hear it.

"Varna, I am leaving this house, not you. I will still be in touch with you. You are the only family that I have left. I don't want to stay with your brother nor does he, he will not come here as long as I am here. Don't you want your brother back? Don't cry and please understand me" I tried again. I don't like it when angels cry and especially not when I am the reason behind their tears.

"Ishudi you just said that we are your family, then why will anyone want to leave their family?" Veena questioned again.

"Veena, your brother and me are not suitable for each other. Please understand this. You are my family and I will never leave you. Let me go now I will meet you again soon. I will leave details about how to contact me and we can maintain our relationship but I have to go now." I said. It hurts me to leave such a good family but me and Sharan are just done.

Just as I was going to step out of the main door Sharan walked inside, closing it behind him. I was irritated but in one way it is good. At least I don't have to have this conversation with him again.

Veena and Varna hug him as soon as he walks in.

"Bhaiyya please stop Ishudi from leaving" they asked him and he walks towards me after untangling himself from them.

"The reason behind me not coming home is not you Isha. I didn't have it in me to face you after what I had done to you. I am sorry, please don't leave" So he was eavesdropping on our conversation standing outside.

"Please Ishudi, forgive your husband once" Veena said changing her track. She should become a lawyer what is she doing?

Varna is crying silently. Why are they so scared of me leaving? Didn't I tell them that I would keep in touch with them? What happened with their mother that all three of them are this affected by this.

I turned my face away from her. I can't see her tears but I have made the resolve to leave. I and Sharan are going no where and what he is doing is not acceptable. Just as I was about to leave I heard Veena shout, "Varna!"

I turned back to see Varna fainting in Sharan's arms.

Oh Shit!

"Sharan, call the doctor!" Appa shouted out and Sharan moved away with his phone after depositing Varna on the couch.

***********************************************************************************************

Sharan's POV

We are all waiting patiently beside the bed where Varna is being examined. Isha is trying to console Veena and dad. I can see the guilt in her eyes but I know that all this is because of me. I am solely responsible for all this.

I realize that I don't hurt just her but I hurt my entire family. They are all so close. I am really sorry.

The doctor got up from his place and moved towards us.

"She is fine now so don't worry. She is a very sensitive girl and something might have happened which affected her like this. Please take care to not give her too much stress. She might go into depression and that might be harmful. Who is Ishudi?"

"Yes sir?" Isha came forward.

"She was continuously calling out for you. I think that whatever happened was related to you in some way? Please stay by her side, it will help her calm down. She seems very worried about you and it will help her if you are by her side" he said and I can see the guilt in Isha's eyes.

"I will not leave her side doctor. Thank you" Isha said and I could hear the resolve in her voice. Veena walked towards her and hugged her and I can also see dad relaxing. We walked towards Varna.

"I am sorry Varna and I will not repeat this, never again" I and Isha said at the same time. Varna moved forward and pulled the two of us into a hug together. Slowly Varna and Veena started talking and I and Isha spoke to them like everything between us is normal. Finally Varna slept, her head in Isha's lap.

***********************************************************************************************

Ishana's POV

After Varna slept, I moved her head onto a pillow and walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to fix breakfast for all of us. After it is done, I served it to Veena. Appa didn't want to come down so I took it to his room. When I went to call Sharan I found him in the balcony.

I walked towards him to call him but he surprised me by getting down on his knees in front of me.

What the hell is he doing? I jump back a little in shock. I mean, what the hell!

"Isha, I am so sorry. I know that whatever I have done is wrong, it is absolutely wrong but please listen to me once. Just give me one more chance, I will never repeat this again. It was not you-" I interrupted him there.

"Sharan I know that it wasn't something about me that angered you but my words about your mom that did" he stands up, part shocked and part confused. He may be wondering how did I guess it.

I continued,"I know that you don't want to share the reason and nor am I going to ask for it. I don't want to face beast-Sharan again. But we don't have any business having this conversation. You think that I am here for your money, you can think as you please. You don't have to be considerate towards me.

The reason I stayed back is because of your sisters. They have loved me without any questions or restraints and I want to return that and anyway they are in no way responsible for any of my troubles, so why punish them. I will tolerate you for them Sharan but that is where this ends. Come down, breakfast is being served" I walked away after speaking my mind.

***********************************************************************************************

Sharan's POV

What did she say? She understood that 'that woman' was the reason behind my behavior yesterday and she isn't angry about it? Isha understands me so well. I know that she doesn't approve of my behavior and I too don't but she understands where I come from?

I just met someone who cares for my sisters as much as I do. She is still willing to stay here for them. I know that she is not faking this because she had really been concerned when Varna had fainted. I clearly saw her worry for my sister when she was not well. It's all genuine.

Was I wrong when I thought that her behavior all these days was just to impress my family and for the money?

Shit! I misunderstood her and stretched things so far. It's all my mistake.

I walked downstairs and entered dad's room. He is just lying on his bed with his eyes open. When he saw me he stood up and I can see the disappointment for me in his eyes.

He has every right to despise me but it looks to me like he is also blaming himself for what happened yesterday.

No dad, I am sorry. It was all my mistake.

"Dad?" I called out to him but his reply shocked me.

"Don't call me that and leave me alone for a while Sharan"

"Dad please don't say like that" I requested with tears in my eyes. He seems so detached.

"You have no right to call me that Sharan. I have no more faith in you or my upbringing. You raised your hand on a woman? Your wife? Didn't you promise me that you would never hurt Isha?"

I just bent my head down.

"Just leave from my room. It isn't just your mistake, whatever happened to Isha yesterday I am to blame for it too. It's not just you. I always thought that the reasons for your anger were justified and given time you would find your peace but you proved me wrong. You are no more the person whom I had trusted blindly. I had trusted you enough to think that you would take care of Isha but what did you do?

You don't deserve her Sharan and yet she is bearing you. She has agreed to stay back and that too for your sisters. What you did is not justifiable or forgivable, so just leave Sharan" he turned away from me breaking my heart.

I am so sorry dad, I thought and left the room wiping my tears.

***********************************************************************************************

Precap: Sharan will learn the truth about Isha, i.e. why did she need the money.

Of course Isha is not going to forgive him easily.
