After the dance ishra were lost in each other when raman picked ishita in arms and said-chalo ab so jao, it's too late, we have to wake up early in morning and have to go to the temple.
Ishita nodded and said-but let me change, agar yeh pehen kar soungi toh yeh kharab ho jayega.
Raman kept her down and told her to go and change. Ishita went and came after five minutes wearing tee and shorts.
Raman -now u sleep on bed while I sleep on couch.
Ishita-u can sleep here only, yahan bahut jagah hai.
Raman -no I am good here. U sleep, he said and switched off the light after settling in the couch. And soon both slept.
Next morning, at four, amma open the door of ishra room(she has extra key of the room) and saw Ishra sleeping separately. She felt so proud of the kids and called appa. She showed him and said-u were so worried naa,see how gentleman raman is.
Appa too felt proud of him and said-yes u r right, raman is a very good boy. We have chosed a perfect boy for our ishu. Ok u go and wake them up. Woh bhi fresh ho jaaye so that we all can go for darshan.
Amma nodded and wake Ishra. They got up at once and amma wished her happy birthday. Ishita touched her parent's feet and they blessed her. Amma took ishita with herself and raman went to get ready.
After an hour, Toshiji, mr bhalla, raman and appa all were downstairs all set to go out for darshan while amma and ishita was still to come.
Appa-why they r taking so much of time. Let me go and see, he was saying when Mr bhalla said-here they come.
Raman looked at the direction and got stunned to see ishita. She was wearing a cream colour davani with maroon and golden border, her hair was braided beautifully with gajra around it while she was wearing jhumkas that amma brought for her. She has applied a small bindi and was looking down blushing.
Raman was all lost in her when Toshiji said-arey ishita puttar kinni soni lag rahi hai. Hey matarani nazar naa lage meri bachchi ko. She said taking off evil eyes from ishita. Ishita came to them and took blessings from Mr and Mrs bhalla. They blessed her and Toshiji made her wear the chain she brought for ishita. Ishita got too happy seeing it and said-thank u maa.
Mr iyer -chalo chalo, it's getting late. Jaldi jayenge toh jaldi ho jayenge darshan warna late ho jayenge.
Everyone nodded and start walking out of the hotel when something caught raman's eyes making him shocked.
He went near to ishita and asked-tumne davani ke neeche shoes pehne hai.
Ishita made a surprised face and asked looking at him-aapne dekh liya.
Raman smiled at her questions and said-obviously that's why I am asking. But why u r wearing shoes ,it's not looking good.
Ishita-chodiye naa koi nahi dekhega.
Raman -kaise, maine dekh liya toh har koi dekh sakta hai.
Ishita looked down and said-what to do, mere pass high heels wale sandals hai and I am finding it difficult to walk with them wearing this davani.its comfortable.
Raman -ok, don't be so sad, chalo. But apne jute chupa kar.
Ishita nodded and both went out. Raman was walking infront of her hiding her shoes while ishita was also walking slowly behind him. He made her sit and said-papa, Aap log chaliye, I just come.
Mr bhalla -where r u going, it's unknown place .
Raman -i forgot to bring something, aap log jaiye, I just come. Aap log next turn tak pahunchiye, I just come.
Mr bhalla -ok take care. Saying so he told the driver to drive the car while Raman ran to the nearest footwear store he saw last night. He picked a beautiful sandal with less heels and ran towards the turn. He sat inside the car and said-aa gaya main, an chaliye.
Everyone nodded and driver fasten the SUV. Ishra were sitting on the last seat alone when ishita asked where he went. He didn't answered but took her legs in his lap and removed the shoes. He caressed her feet and make her wear the sandals. And then he said huskily in her ear -now it's perfect.
Ishita smiled and said -thank u.
He rubbed his nose on her earlobe and said-u r more then welcome.
Ishita closed her eyes and hide herself in his chest.
After journey of few hours of drive, they finally reached the temple. They went inside and did puja, ishra took blessings from the priest and finally all went out.
Amma-chalo achcha hua, sab achche se ho gaya.
Toshiji-haan bahut achche se darshan ho gaye, bachchon ko ashirwaad bhi mil gaya. Now we will go back and celebrate ishita's birthday in a grand way. Let's go back. She said and all went to the car. Driver start driving while Ishra were busy in talking and clicking pics. All were stopping anywhere randomly and clicking their pics. In the way they stopped at a restaurant and had food.
They finally reached hotel back in the evening. All went to their respective rooms to rest for sometime.
