Ishra were hugging each other tight when Raman said-amma appa bhi aaye hai naa, let's go and meet them. Saying so he was getting up when ishita hold his hand and said-u can meet them later, we r here for whole three days. First let me feel u around me. U don't know how much I was missing u .lag raha tha, kuch bacha hi nahi hai zindagi mein. She said looking down while her eyes got moist.
Raman held her chin and raised her face.
Raman -meri chotu toh badi ho gayi hai, started talking so maturely. I am surprised seeing this avatar of my baby.
Ishita-ofcourse I have grown up. She I started wearing salwar suits.achchi lag rahi hoon naa.
Raman nodded and said-i told u naa, Ek dum Raman ki ishita jaisi.
Ishita smiled and said-u know I have become a very good girl. Amma appa ko bilkul pareshan nahi karti. Aapki ekdum achchi wali choti si biwi ban gayi hoon. She said smiling making him smile too.
Raman -ofcourse, u r my little baby, no actually u r my little biwi. He said smiling while she snuggle more into him.
In the hall, mr and Mrs iyer were sitting with bhallas while the help was serving juice and snacks.
Mr iyer-i am very happy bhalla sahab, ishita was never such a studious and hard working girl. Pass bhi jaise taise hoti thi but now she stood third in her class. Itni disciplined aur calm ho gayi hai that sometimes we don't even notice that she is in the room. Always help her amma, room bhi mess up nahi karti, to be true I am seeing a new ishu, a very well behaved ishu. And its all because of raman. He teached her to be so disciplined and well behaved. I am so happy.i am thinking to take ishu to tirupati balaji, why not u people join too. Family outing ho jayegi.
Mr bhalla-yes iyer sahab ,i was also thinking the same. Kids r doing so much of hard work. Even Raman too is not giving a day off to himself. So it will be right. What say toshiji.
Toshiji-ofcourse, it will be a good change for Raman and ishita will also be so happy.
Mr iyer-so it's decided, we all r going to tirupati balaji together .
Madhu-it will be so good, darshan bhi ho jayenge aur bachchon ko ashirwaad bhi mil jayega. She said happily.
Toshiji-lets go and give this news to them. I want to see their happy faces. Chalo madhu.
Madhu nodded and both went to Raman's room to give them the good news. They opened the door and was shocked to see the scene in front of them.
Ishra were sleeping hugging each other tight sitting on his study chair only. Raman was holding her protectively while ishita was hiding herself in him.
Toshiji and madhu smiled seeing their love and bonding.
Toshiji-matarani, inn dono ko hamesha aise hi khush rakhen.
Madhu-sahi kaha santoshi ,murugan hamare bachchon ko hamesha khush aur saath saath rakhen.ishu ko raman bahut achcha lagta hai.
Toshiji-raman ki toh jaan hai ishita. Saying so both went out and started making arrangements to go to balaji.
Their fathers booked flight to tirupati and told toshiji to pack luggage for the trip.
After packing the luggage toshiji and amma start making food for everyone when ishita came from behind and said-main bhi help karun mummy ji.
Toshiji and amma turned to ishita and said-mummy ji.
Ishita -haan, Aap raman ki mummy hai toh meri bhi hui naa.toh aapko mummy ji nahi bula sakti.
Toshiji nodded and said-ofcourse main tumhari bhi maa hui and u can call me maa ,like Raman call me, no need to call me mummy ji. OK.
Ishita nodded happily and said-ok maa, can I help u.
Toshiji-naa puttar, betiyan kaam nahi karti.
Ishita-but main toh bah, she was telling and realised what she was going to tell.
Ishita thought, ishu stop it motor mouth warna, sab phanda phoot jayega.
Toshiji -kya puttar ji, Aap to bah,
Ishita-but main toh bahut achchi bachchi hoon naa. Toh I can help. She said smiling.
Toshiji-haab bhai, bahut achchi bachchi toh tum ho. Ok go and give this hot chocolate milk to Raman.
Ishita -wow, hot chocolate. Mujhe bhi milega.
Toshiji-nope, tum toh bahut achchi bachchi ho naa, toh achchi bachchi toh hot chocolate nahi peeti. Maa madhu .
Amma nodded in yes. Ishita made a sad face and said-ok, I will not drink. Main jaa kar raman ki de deti hoon. Saying so she was going when Toshiji and amma burst into laughter.
Toshiji-ale mera bachcha, come I will give it to u.
Ishita smiled widely and took another glass. She happily took the hot chocolate to Raman's room.
Raman -sirf hot chocolate, wait I am bring something for u to eat. Saying so he went to kitchen and heard their mothers talking.
Madhu-i am thinking to buy a necklace for ishu on her birthday this year. Ab badi ho rahi hai, I should start arranging jewelleries for her marriage.
Toshiji -ishita ka birthday, kab hai. I too have to buy something for my girl.
Madhu-its tomorrow only. That's why we r taking her to tirupati to seek blessings.
Toshiji-oh, u didn't told me earlier. Mujhe bhi kuch lena hoga or else my baby will be sad. Come let's go and pick something before leaving for tirupati.
