This part I will said sweet update. They slowly start first step of their new lives together in the way of understanding and caring for each other physical and emotional. Ishu already fall for his gesture he willing to made her happy for everything and consider her at his own family wholeheartly that made Ishu feel very happy. I like the way you put them for the arrangement of sleeping cause they will sleep in same bed for first time and they are not lover so the awkward will show out.😆 Middle of the night they both woke up to handle Ruhi like they all be same family for the long time not first time and end up sleep in same blanket. I will love to see this slow romantic for sometime before they fall in love together. Hope you will not in a hurry to finish this story like the other.Thanks for beautiful update dear.Have a wonderful week ahead.🤗🤗

I thought you wud take time for the next update , bt I m glad your back ! This shows you are a Strong One , Take Care Dear !

Coming to the Update , This is a Lovely Update !
Everone was expecting for some Romance as it was their first night after marriage bt I didnt wanted it , COz I wanted to them to knw eachother properly that would be genuine , I read few other FF's Aswell , they show all of a sudden Romance , and I dnt understand it😕

Thanks for Making their heart out instead of showing them doing some Romance , And I love your way of writing , You show their chemistry wit out any proximity 👏

I Loved ther talk before sleep ❤️ And Yes the way Ishita took Ruhi into her arms as though It was her daily routine , #PerfectMother ! And The Way Raman's Mom admired the 3 of them nah 4 of them was just Loving 😳

I want the 4th one to join the trio as soon as possible , It would be lovely to watch Raman Pamper Ishita and his newly born Baby Raman Ishita have to behave lik a normal couple before their kids and they just cant act like Friends !
I hope their equation Change from friends to Couple , I know It would be I want to see the Family Complete , I knw now Raman is gonna start pampering Ishita way too much , though he is already doing it he was a friend till now bt now he took her sole responsibility and he ll be more Attentive towards her .

Thanks for writing such an FF with no Drama and More Realistic things 🤗#Hugs

Love,
Sruthi

Hi Prabh,

Thanks for updating so soon. Hope you are okay.

I really liked it when he said you are family and the way they took care of Ruhi as if they have practiced this routine from she was born.

pm me ...

He woke up the next morning feeling like something was his outstretched arm. As he slowly opened his eyes, he woke up to one of the most beautiful sight he had seen. She was fast asleep with her head rested on his arm. Her makeup and stress free face only showed how much of a natural beauty she was. He was lucky enough and got a small peek of her beautiful smile as the air from the AC blew her face onto her face tickling her. As he came out his trance, he realized the position they were in right now.

If she woke up and saw him this close to her, only God knew what she would think of him. He tried to free his arm by sliding it out from under her head only to have her turn around to face him. He knew he had no way out and could only wait for her to wake up and try to explain to her how this happened since he noticed he was the one under her blanket and not the other way around. He waited for a couple of minutes for her to wake up and looked around anywhere but her trying to stay away as far as possible. In those few minutes his arm started to feel numb and so he squirmed his hand around trying to get rid of the numbness and in the process she started stir in her sleep and open her eyes.

As she opened her eyes, she saw what she had never expected to see. He was right next to her! She just stared at him for a moment as she tried to comprehend what was going on. She looked the blanket she had and it was her own and looked at him who also had the same blanket as her. What was he doing with her under the same blanket?! She got up right away and saw his arm was underneath her head. She looked away from him as he got up as well holding his arm.

"What happened? And how are you here with me?" she asked him quickly and looking away from him.

"Sorry I don't know what happened, but it was an accident. I don't know how I ended up ...under your blanket... I am sorry." He said apologetically.

He looked like he was genuinely unaware of how he got there and she figured it was an accident. And he was obvious feeling back about what happened, so she decided not to talk further about it.

"It's okay. Is your arm okay?" as she noticed him trying to get movement back in his arm.

"It's fine, just a little numb."

"Sorry..." she said looking down.

"Its fine...umm do you want to use the bathroom first?" he asked trying to change the topic sensing her incomfort and avoided conversation about the blanket incident.

"You go ahead, you probably need to get to work."

He headed out to the bathroom as she stayed back. She got up and looked at Ruhi sleeping peacefully and rocked her crib as she thought back to what had just happened. She didn't know how long he had been awake for and how long she had slept on his arm. But she did know he could have woken her up, but he chose not to and let her sleep peacefully. He was truly what you called a gentleman. He didn't want her to be disturbed, and when she questioned him, he apologized even when she was the one who had slept on his arm. She felt happy knowing he was a man who she could happily spend her life living with as a friend. She smiled and kissed Ruhi's forehead causing the little infant to stir in her sleep. She patted her and once she stopped moving around, she got up to make the bed when she heard him call from inside the bathroom.

"Ishita..."

"What happened?" she asked walking up to the bathroom door.

"I...I...umm actually can you go outside for a moment?" he said hesitantly

"Why?"

"I...I forgot you were here now and didn't take my office clothes with me..." he said embarrassed inside the bathroom.

She know whether to laugh or to feel bad for him. She giggled a little quietly imagining his face and reactions right now. She thought she was quiet, but he heard.

"It's not funny." He said from inside.

She held in her laughter and tried to be serious. She decided to help him out and asked.

"Should I give them to you?"

"Would you do that, please?"

"Sure! Hold on, just unlock the door and I will pass them to you."

She went over to his cupboard and opened it only to be lost and confused on what to pick out. He had so many clothes that were luckily already matched up so she didn't have to make a combination herself. She shuffled through his clothes for a minute and picked out what she thought would look best on him. She knocked on the door and he opened it slightly. She looked away and tried to hand them over to him and he was also standing away from the door and tried to reach over to grab them. After a few misses, he finally managed to get his clothes and she pulled her hand back quickly just like him.

She went back to what she was doing before and make the bed and folded the blankets. After that she went to her suitcase and thought of taking out her clothes while she waited for him to come out. He came out dressed only to see her about to pick up her luggage.

"Hey! What are you doing?" he asked from behind.

"Taking out my clothes, what else?" she replied turning around.

"You could wait for me. Why are you trying to pick up the suitcase?"

"But it's not that heavy." She tried to protest back.

"Sure it isn't. I know how heavy your kanjivarams and all are. So now let go of it. And the first you are doing after breakfast is putting away your clothes." He said as he picked up her suitcase and placed it on the bed for her.

"Thank you."

"That's fine, but don't try and put it back down. I will manage it. Just close it and leave it here."

"By the way, how do you know about kanjivarams?" she asked rummaging through her clothes.

He became quiet for a moment not wanting to mention his deceased wife's modelling profession, so he tried to brush it off with a question...

"I just do. Can't a CEO know about sarees? And if you haven't noticed, I am the only man in this house and there are 3 girls, hopefully 4 with me. So I know a thing or two and women's clothes."

"Right."

And with that she went back to her suitcase to take out her clothes when he noticed the bed was already done and the blanket had been folded and put into a corner.

"And why did you make the bed?"

"Because I am allowed to that much work at least."

"Fine, but that's all. Don't work too much."

"Yes sir!" she giggled at him and he tried to hold his serious expression, but couldn't and gave a huge dimpled smile at her. She indicated she is going to the bathroom and he let her go.

As she went inside, he went to his cupboard and took out some of his least used clothes and adjusted them into other drawers trying to make enough space for her clothes. When she came outside all dressed and drying her hair, Ruhi was awake and laying on the bed as he played with her. She joined them and as the water droplets hit Ruhi's face, she began to cry and in a hurry to make her stop Ishita flung her thick long hair making it hit Raman's face in the process.

"Thank for the slap." He said sarcastically making her turn around.

"Oh...sorry." She said as she saw his face covered in small drops of water.

He wiped off the water and she finished drying her hair before picking up Ruhi. They headed out their room with Ruhi in her hands and him by her side. The house sans the decorations was finally like the way it was usually was. Everyone had gone to their hotels and it was just them and his mother in the house. Mrs. Bhalla greeted them from the kitchen as she brought over breakfast to the table. Ishita handed Ruhi over to him and went to help with the food. She apologized for being so late only to be told not to worry and to wake up whenever she wants since she needed all the rest she could get. Raman placed Ruhi in her rocking chair as he fed her bottle while Ishita and his mother finished up the kitchen work. As they called him for breakfast which was later than the usual time, he sat down telling his mother...

"Ma I was saying hurry up and finish your auditions and hire help for the house."

"Auditions?" Ishita asked confused as she sat down next to him.

"Ishita, let me tell you your mother-in-law is extremely filmy, so instead of interviews for the help, it's called auditions."

She smiled as his mother smacked his arm while walking to her own chair and shook her head at him as she scolded him playfully for his bad jokes. She continued to tell Ishita how Raman is teasing her and there is no truth to his words while he rolled his eyes at her only to be caught by his mom again. Ishita just looked at the two and smiled and giggled. She noticed Raman laughing so carefree and happily, something she had never seen him do. He was usually quiet and serious, she had only seen this side of him last night and today. There was more to him than she knew, and she also knew there was something that stopped him from being like this all the time.

The rest of breakfast was a usual Bhalla morning which she got to observe. Raman was busy on his phone while eating and his mother scolding him for always being busy. Ruhi would also chirp in when her dad was being reprimanded earning laughter from the trio at the table.

As breakfast came to an end, he started to pack his things and get ready for work. He gathered his files and papers stuffing them into his bag along with his laptop. As he got ready to leave, Mrs. Bhalla informed her of some of friends coming over to meet her and a few people were coming over for dinner. She started to feel uncomfortable again and realized she would be alone in the house as he would leave. She wanted to stop him and ask him to stay back like a child who was being left for a sleepover for the first time, but refrained from saying anything since it was impossible for him to stay back. As he picked up his car keys ready to go, he went to his mother while Ishita was busy with Ruhi. He quietly told her...

"Ma, don't let Ishita work too much. I will have someone sent over for the cooking or have take-out if you can't manage."

"Don't worry I will manage everything, and she will be fine. I will only get to make a sweet dish for everyone and she won't do anything else besides that."

"Just call me if you need anything since I will come home early today."

"Okay bye!"

He bid goodbye to his mom and went over the mother-daughter duo as they talked and cooed animatedly. He picked up Ruhi to kiss her on the cheek and tell her...

"Daddy will be home early today."

He looked at Ishita at he talked and she nodded as she understood that he was telling her through Ruhi. As he handed Ruhi back to her, he told her...

"Bye!"

"Bye." She said disappointedly not wanting him to leave...
