Hey Friends,
Since there are a lot of spoilers poping up on the forum, which donot please me even an iota, I'm here with a new One Shot. I'm sure for the crazy YHM fans like me, only FAN FICTIONS come to their rescueš. Hope this OS is good enough to make you forget the Horrible Spoilers for at least a Moment. And my bad, if fails to please you.
This OS is completely on my imagination about how will be the life of the Ever Growing Bhalla Family. No hints regarding the upcoming tracks are indicated here.
P.S. Pardon Grammar Mistakes & Typing Mistakes. I'm typing this whole thing on my phone.
Aashiyaan
I step into my room, tired and exhausted after a real long day. Yet, the two little brats fail to realize that their strong Papa is completely spent after spending his whole day at the new factory site. They hop into the room behind him complaining cutely.
"Papa!! You promised to take us for a vacation." Said a furious Roohi
.
"I know Rooh... But try and understand, I'm really very busy with the new factory right now. I'm sorry to postpone this trip again." I said
"But Papa..." whined my son.
"Oh ho! Let Papa breath for a moment! He has just returned from work... Roohi, Rishi, Go down now... And don't return to Papa until you finish your homework!" Said Ishita, as she stepped into the room with a steaming cup of tea, and rescuing me from the wrath of Roohi and Rishi.
Roohi glares at me and says, "This is not over, Papa!"
While Rishi shook his head in disappointment and left the room. How I hate that look on his face. Yet, felt sorry to disappoint them again, by delaying their vacation plans.
"They are right Raman, it has been long since they had a proper vacation." Said my wife, as I sat on the bed and she hands me the cup of tea.
"I know... And I feel sorry for delaying this. But since Mihir and Romi are in U.K. and are busy with the new branch there, I and Mihika are the only ones to look after our deals in Asia. And I can't afford to stress Mihika, after all she is expecting her second child. She has to look after herself, the unborn Baby and Manav."
"But it has been so long since we met Aadi! I miss my son Raman!" I see tears welling up in her eyes, and I pinch the bridge of my nose.
It has been a year and a half since Aadi left for America for his further studies and to complete his M.B.B.S. and since then, only Skype and phone calls have been the medium of conversation between us. As per the plan, we were supposed to surprise Aadi by visiting him at the university during the summer vacations along with Roohi and Rishi. But, the new factory set up was a pain in the neck that stopped us from doing so.
I take Ishita in my arms lovingly and plant a soft kiss in her hair. A tear drops from her eyes as I say,
"I miss him too Ishita. But, I'm too busy this time! We will meet him during the December vacations."
"Which means I have to wait for another 7 months to meet my own son!"
"Okay! Okay!! Lets wait for a couple of weeks more... If either Romi or Mihir return from U.K., I will surely book our tickets to America. Happy, now?"
She nods her head but I know she was just doing it to make me feel less guilty.
"You promised me something this morning, remember?" I say to change the topic.
She looks at me all confused, and I reply, "Your lecture about how should a man keep his wife pleased, remember?"
She stands up to leave and politely says, "Apparently My Man is very busy and doesn't bother to notice if his wife is pleased or not."
I stand up as well, and I realize she is referring to our may-be-possible-visit to America to meet Aadi. I get hold of her wrist, pulling her to me and she collides with my chest and I see her cheeks go red.
"How about if I please her with my other resources? Huh? I'm a very resourceful man you know." I whisper as our closeness affects me as well. I lean down to claim her lips when we hear Roohi scream from the hallway.
"Papa!! Ishimaa!!! Come down please! See who's here..."
I and Ishita rush downstairs worried for her and Rishi. Even before we can realize what's happening, we hear Roohi, Rishi along with Aadi screaming, "SURPRISE!!!!"
The next thing I know is Aadi running towards his Ishimaa, touching her feet and hugging her tight. What followed was a trail of "I missed you Ishimaa!" and "I missed you too, Aadi Beta!" lined with a lot of "I love you s"
"Did you even miss your Papa or was it only Ishimaa?"
"Ofcourse I missed you Papa!" says Aadi as he steps towards me and I take him in a bear hug.
Roohi and Rishi run towards Aadi's luggage and drag it into their room to dig out their gifts. After running around and fighting over for the gifts finally everybody settle down for the dinner while everybody else return home from their errands. Thrilled by her grandson's return, Mummy made Aadi's favourite Parathas and Papa ordered Aadi's all-time favourite Mango Ice-cream. Soon my house lights up like a bright lamp with the wide smiles on each of my family member's face.
Aadi's sister and brothers (Rishi, Rohit and Shravan) arguing with him for his latest Gadget to play with, his Daada and Daadi pampering him silly, his mother making hot parathas with a content smile plastered on her face, his Chachi serving him kheer despite him saying that his tummy is full.
After meeting his Thatha, Paati, Mihika Chachi, her's and Mihir Chachu's son- Manav, and Vandita Periamma, he finally hits the bed in his Ishimaa's lap as she listens to him blabber about his activities in America, about his friends, and university. I see a look of absolute content and sheer happiness on her face and realize that the same look has settled on my face as well.
I step into my room as I see Rishi lying on our bed and seems to waiting for me or Ishita to arrive. Seeing him rolling over to reach me, I ask him, "Hey my champ, not sleeping yet? Your Mumma will be coming soon to check if you are in your bed..."
"Papa, I'm really confused."
"About what?"
"If you say that I am your miracle baby, then why does Mumma love Aadi bhaiya more?"
"Are you jealous of Bhaiya?"
"Noways, Mumma loves Aadi Bhaiya, but Aadi bhaiya loves me! So no matter what, Aadi bhaiya will always support me even if it means that he has to stand against Mumma." Says Rishi, proudly flaunting Aadi's love for him.
"Well only your Ishimaa can answer your question, why don't you go and ask her?" As soon as the words are out of my mouth, Rishi rushes down to question his Mumma.
Sit on the couch in the room and stare at the full moon in the sky. I close my eyes as I feel myself at utter peace. A flashback takes me to the world which reminds me of the struggle which led me to live a content life now. Struggle would seem a wrong word, a War suits perfectly.
The Marriage, the feeling of holding my first born, the fights, the happiness of holding my new born princess, the betrayal, the tears, the pain, the court cases, Second marriage, mending relationships with each of the family member, the first realization of falling in love with Madrasan, the jealously, joy of have both my kids under the same roof, the confession of love, the very first time when we touched each other, the first pregnancy, the miscarriage, the surrogacy scam- busted by Shagun with our help and without our knowledge, the loss of losing my youngest sister- Rinki, the accusations thrown at Mihika, Mihir and Mihika's marriage, the second time Ishita conceived, the labour pain, and finally the birth of the symbol of our love.
10 years have passed. A decade. Yet it seems that it occurred just a few months back. Each and every memory fresh in my mind. Months later, when Rishi was born, Shagun had finally agreed to marry Dr. Manoj. Initially Aadi hesitated, but then whole heartedly accepted Dr. Manoj as his friend and guardian, everyone including Shagun and Manoj were glad that things were finally falling into place. Ashok is in the place he deserved- Jail. Param had left our back, Suraj was busy managing his business as per what I had heard last.
Everything. Is. Perfect.
I open my eyes when I feel a hand on my shoulder. Ishita. I can say even before I turn my head. She quietly sits beside me and rests her head on my shoulder.
"I couldn't answer him..." she says.
I look at her, confused, I didn't get what she spoke about.
"Rishi's question. About me loving Aadi more." She replied.
"You don't love him more or Rishi less, you love them equal."
"Really? I don't have any answer for this question. Because, as you say always, I get to spoil our elder children, you get to spoil our youngest."
"Aadi was away from you for so long. A year and a half. When you got a chance to love him after so long, you didn't let it go. So, it doesn't mean that you love Rishi any less." I said assuring her.
"Do you know what Aadi did today?"
"What? Told you that he loves you the most? Something that he tells you all the time."
"No. He said that I'm the World's Best MOM. Something that he never said before. It was always Roohi who said it."
I give her smile and she smiles back. I look into her eyes as leans into me pecks my lips lightly, a small peck, and she parts from me to snuggle closer into my arms.
"Thank you Raman! For letting me into your life. To let me be Aadi and Roohi's Ishimaa. For making me your soulmate in the truest sense."
"I must thank you Ishita! Thank you for giving me the peace that I thought would never enter my life ever again. Thank you."
With that I claim her lips. Pushing her further on the couch, as she moans into my mouth I carry her to our bed she signals me to do something. No getting what she meant, I look at her confused.
"Do you want anyone to barge into our room, when we are spending some good quality time? Huh, Mr. Bhalla?"
I look at door, and understood what she meant. I walk to the door and latched it into its place and walk back to her with a naughty smirk on my face.
The rest of the night was spent making love over and over again as I just never get enough of her. We sleep in each other's arms, completely spent, yet with a content smile. Knowing that the next morning coming is a new and happy day. Knowing that tomorrow is a peaceful home. A peaceful Aashiyaan. Our Aashiyaan.
For The Two Of Us, Home Isn't A Place. It's A Person. And We're Finally Home.
THE END.
