" i am scared " he said ,she applied medicine , he unintentionally hide himself in Raman's arm ,"Papa" ,Raman quickly wrapped his arm around him ,after ages he felt his son close to his heart , tears of joy & pain roll down his eyes , Ishita mesmerised both father & son hug with her moist eyes ,she prayed the time freeze & Raman feel Adi presence as long as it was possible . Raman kissed his head ,he with teary eyes thanks Ishita , she wiped her tears , she held Raman hand with eyes she asked him she was done .he control himself breaking down in front of Adi,

"Raman you know Adi did shopping for you " she tries to relax him
"really " he became happy
"yes , & he cares for you as much you cares for him " she wiped his tears & nodded
