The books sounds really good.
But yeah, I don't think viewers would have accepted Raman and Ishita without Ruhi for a full 3 years.
Ruhi was always with Raman and Ishita .
Ashok was an NRI . He came to India to work for the big Brand company ( I think the author meant Coca-Cola) . When his affair with Shagun became public , he was sent back to the USA . That time he and Shagun wanted to marry . Till then children were with Shagun and Raman was not willing to divorce. SO there was a deal between Raman and Shagun - Raman gets the custody and he frees Shagun .
So Shagun left for USA, son was sent to boarding school as he no longer wanted to study in his old school, but Raman had his custody. Ruhi started to live with Raman . At this point Raman also started to date Ishita and after six months they got married .
Children were supposed to visit Shagun during their summer and winter holidays . After marriage Ishita refused to send Ruhi to Shagun . So at the end Shagun refiled the custody case .
