I want to see this scene, one where Ruhi's speaks out her heart and her insecurities. I am still hoping for Ruhi's education track. CV's are just messing it up with Pihu drama and Shagun-Nidhi plotting.
Scene I wished to see- Ruhi's insecurity! 30th August!
After a quiet, peaceful dinner Ishita headed back to her room. She lied down on the bed, when she saw Ruhi enter the room, all angry and frustrated.
Ishita: "Kya hua Ru? Aisa kyun gussa kar raha hai mera bacha?"
Ruhi: "Kyunki jab se main wapas aayi hoon na, you have been ignoring me, neglecting me. Aur to aur aap sirf Pihu ke bare main sochte ho, you don't seem to love me anymore Ishimaa."
Ishita was taken aback by her daughter's accusations. But she was right in some aspect, she was kind of neglecting her poor baby for Pihu.
Ishita: "Yahaan aao."
Ruhi: "Mujhe nai aana. Aap mujhse pyaar hi nai karte ho..." she said trying to hide her tears.
Ishita knew this of her daughter, her Ruhi was again under immense tension and her insecurities were rising. Ishita had to make her understand that no matter what, she will never stop loving her angel. Ishita called her on the bed, and made her cute fussy daughter lie down. She covered her with a duvet, and gently started to pat her forehead, just like the past.
Ishita: "Ruhi tumhe sach main lagta hai ki tumhari Ishimaa tumse pyaar nai karti hai? Bolo..."
Ruhi saw her mother look at her lovingly, her eyes showing the love she has for me, the eyes that held the warmth for me and the love she showers on me.
Ruhi: "Nai..." she said sadly.
Ishita: "To tumne aisa kyun kaha?"
Ruhi: "Jabse main wapas aayi hoon, and you have seen Pihu, bas aap uske bare main hi sochte ho...and I hate it. Aap pehle meri Ishimaa ho..." she stated as a matter of fact.
Ishita smiled seeing her daughter jealous. It was normal for siblings to feel that their parents love the other child more, cute sibling rivalry. She cutely pulled her nose, irritating Ruhi more than before.
Ishita: "Aisa nai hai Ruhi, I love you very much, and don't ever, and I mean ever even let this thought cross your mind that I don't love you anymore or I ignore you."
Ruhi: "Nah, I know you love me, but it just makes me sad when day in and day out, you keep thinking about Pihu. Her needs are your priority. I know you can't lose her, but am not your baby?" she asked all hurt.
Ishita had to make her daughter, her angel understand, that no matter what happens, Ruhi will always be her priority, she will be the only one who matters, she was and always will be my first love!
Ishita: "Ru, aaj tumhe kuch batana chahti hoon. You are old enough to understand now what I will be telling you."
Ruhi nodded in affirmative,
"Bolo na..."
Ishita: "Tumhe pata hai maine Raman se shaadi kyun ki?"
Ruhi: "Haan, kyunki aap papa se pyaar karte ho..."
Ishita: "Pagal hai bilkul tu..."
Ruhi: "Huh? To phir?"
Ishita: "Maine Raman se shaadi tumhaare liye ki. Mujhe meri chahiye thi, aur Raman ko tumhaari custody. We got married for your sake Ru."
Ruhi was trying to understand the circumstances what led her Ishimaa and papa to get married.
Ruhi: "Par aap mujhe adopt kar sakte the na?"
Ishita: "Haan, offcourse, I had tried doing that too. But it's not easy to get custody of a child, especially being a single woman; the court doesn't consider such people fit enough for being a parent."
Ruhi: "Aap single woman to the, but you are a dentist, aap ki bahut achi practise hai. You were independent, earning, to phir? And plus you were staying with your parents. Then how can the court reject your proposal?"
Ishita: "Court ke kuch faisle hum nai samajh sakte baby. Jab court main you said you want to stay with me, appa and pappajee thought of this marriage alliance."
Ruhi smiled, whatever the circumstances, her dream to be with her Ishimaa was fulfilled.
Ishita: "Aur maine is shaadi ke haan kardiya. Mujhe meri beti mil rahi thi. Main to maa nai ban sakti thi na." she said tears clouding her vision.
That one sentence formed tears in Ruhi's eyes. Her heart ached for her Ishimaa.
Ruhi: "Sshhh...Ishimaa, kisne kaha aap maa nahi ban sakti? Main hoon na aapki beti...hoon na?"
Ishita nodded, and gently kissed her forehead.
Ishita: "Ruhi, mujhe kisi ne kaha, ki ek kiss se saari takleef door ho jayegi..."
Ruhi smiled, remembering that moment. She was truly blessed to have this woman in her life!
Ishita: "Main iss ghar main, Raman ki patni baad main, pehle tumhaari maa banke aai thi. Mamta ka who pehla sparsh, wo pyaar maine pehle experience kiya. You are the first love of my life..."
Ishita took a pause, and continued,
Ishita: "Ruhi, there are many facets of love, many connotations of love, love between husband and wife, mother and daughter, mother and son, between two lovers, between grandparents and grandchildren. Tum kehti thi na ki mera aur Raman ka pyaar dikhta nai hai, you were right, I fell in love with Raman bahut baad main. Aaj main Raman se bahut pyaar karti hoon, but my first love will always be you...bas Raman ko mat batana, otherwise he will be jealous!" she smiled.
Ruhi joined in the laughter too!
Ruhi: "Ishimaa aap papa ke tarah tedhe bante jaa rahe ho..."
Ishita: "Kya karoon, sangati ka asar..."
Ruhi: "Aap mujhe kabhi maaf kar payengi?"
Ishita: "Tumhaare is insecurity ke liye?"
Ruhi: "Nahi, jabse main aayi hoon wapas, I have been only abusing you, taunting you, but trust me I was breaking fibre by fibre. Thank you for not giving up on me, for being there when I needed you the most, and making me understand that no matter what tragic turn our life takes, you will always be there for me, fighting the world."
Ishita: "Nah Ru, I know you have hurt me, taunted me, par ek baat bataoon, tumhara yeh bartaav dekh kar I understood one thing, you love me the most, more than anyone in this family, over your father too."
Ruhi: "Hmm...?"
Ishita: "Pagal ho bilkul tum...sabse jyaada jinse pyaar karte hai na, sabse jyaada unhi pe gussa hote hai."
Ruhi understood that as long they are together, they will fight all battles that lay in front of them, even Pihu's battle.
Ishita: "Kya soch rahi ho tum?"
Ruhi: "Nothing much..."
Ishita: "I have an important topic to discuss with you..."
Ruhi: "Bolo na Ishimaa..."
Ishita: "I have admitted you back to your old school, and you will be joining this July. So you have two months of preparation before you join the mainstream education in India. What about your career? I mean you can select any course, right from the conventional engineering to medicine to something hatke like language expert. I will be there with you..."
Ruhi: "Itna plan nahi kiya Ishimaa...as of now I will concentrate on my boards."
Ishita: "Ru, I was thinking about why you don't plan a career in music?"
Ruhi went back in the dark past, she was rescued by her Ishimaa, and the music career she is talking about, cant ever be fulfilled. The painful flashes of her destroyed childhood flashed before her eyes, and she yelled in angst,
Ruhi: "Mujhe maaro mam, I will get ready..."
Ishita was shocked to see that the wounds of her daughter have not healed. She pulled Ruhi into a bone crushing hug,
Ishita: "Sshh...Ru, its Ishimaa. ab sab theek hai. You are back in the house, mere saath. Bas bacha rote nai hai. Main hoon na tumhaare saath."
Ruhi snuggled more closer to feel her Ishimaa's love.
Ishita: "I am sorry Ruhi, mujhe laga shayad tumhe acha lagega music school join karne main. I never ever wanted to hurt you or cause tears in your eyes."
Ruhi nodded, and finally spoke,
Ruhi: "I sing well, but that music will always remind me of my hurtful past. I will think of an alternative career very soon. I need time to figure out stuff. "
Ishita engulfed her daughter in a hug,
Ishita: "Mera Chotu, so jao ab..."
As Ruhi and Ishita slept, both thanked destiny to have given them another chance at love, chance to mend their strained relationship.
Raman's eyes welled up as he stood there seeing his two angels sleeping in peace, at home and content. He had encountered their entire conversation and was a tad bit jealous. But he was proud of the fact that she had bore their love story in front of their daughter, the reason for them getting in this marriage of convenience. But as fate would have had it, they had fallen in love irrevocably. He entered the room, pulled up the comforter and was about to the switch of the bedside lamp, when he felt Ishita tug at his hand.
Ishita: "Jealous?..."
Raman: "Main kyun jealous?..."
Ishita: "Kyunki Ru is the first love of my life."
Raman: "Tumhe pata tha, I was outside the room?"
Ishita: "Aapki ahat aaj bhi pehchanti hoon."
Raman: "Main jaanta hoon ki tumhaare dil ke ek kona hai, jisme sirf mere liye pyaar hai."
Ishita smiled. Raman pecked her forehead and so he pecked his sleeping daughter too and left the mother daughter duo to rest for the night.
Finally his family was back together and happy!
The End!
I hope I lived upto the expectations of the IshRa fans!
Do read and comment, I appreciate it a lot!
Love,
