Ishra smiled looking at each other and ishita said-yay, hum apna vacation Ek saath spend karenge. Kitna maza aayega.
Raman nodded and said-yes, every minute spend with u is very special.he said smiling while appa smiled seeing their excitement.
Soon they went back to their respective home to inform their mother and also to start packing.
Toshiji got happy hearing the Raman agreed to visit his native and thanked matarani many times for sending iyers in their life who r helping them in every step of life
.she thought to call iyers to thank but later shrug it thinking to thank them personally.
Toshiji started packing for the trip happily. While Raman too started his packing. He was least bothered now about going to his grandparents place, all he was concerned that he is going to spend his vacation with ishita.
On other hand, amma was too angry hearing about sending ishita with bhallas.
Amma-i don't believe this vishwa, u agreed to send ishu with Raman to his village. R u out of ur mind.
Appa-i don't want to but couldn't deny him. He got too sad when I denied ,so I gave him the permission. Don't worry our ishu will be safe with Raman. I trust him.
Amma-i too trust him but not his family.pata nahi kaise log honge. His father left them for another woman, uske gharwalen kaise honge. U urself was telling that raman himself don't wanna go to them then how u can allow ishu to go. Don't u care about her safety. She said angrily.
Appa smiled and went to amma saying-i do care about ishu's safety ,I am sending two cars with them with our driver cum bodyguard who will not only protect ishita but Raman and toshi bhabhi also,aur phir hum bhi toh chal rahen hai unko chodne,we will go with them, dekhenge kaisi jagah hai, kaise log hai, tab ishu ko chodenge, agar achche nahi lagenge woh log toh hum ishu ko lekar wapas aa jayenge. U just relax I also care for my daughter. He said smiling making amma sighed in relief.
Amma-sorry vishwa, I went overboard, mujhe pata hona chahiye tha that u can never be careless when it comes to ishu's safety. Really sorry, she said resting her head on Appa's chest while he smiled and said-yes I love my daughter so much. Can never be careless about her. Now start packing her bag for the trip.
Amma nodded and went to ishita's room to pack her luggage, soon her bag was ready, she was so excited for the trip.
Next morning, all start their journey for raman's grandparents place.It was a village near Ludhiana around 350 kms far from Delhi.
Ishita was sitting in car with her parents while Raman was sitting in another car with Toshiji. Both were getting bore and want to sit together but have courage to tell this to their parent, so they start chatting on what's app.
After about two hours they stopped in a roadside dhaba for breakfast. Ishra got happy and decided to sit together henceforth. Raman ordered Aloo ke paranthe for them while iyers ordered paneer ke paranthe. Toshiji ordered choley bhature.all were enjoying their breakfast when ishita said-appa see bullock cart and tonga, wow appa, chaliye naa baithte hai. She said making a baby face.
Appa-no kanna we r getting late naa. Phir kabhi.
Ishita-when I will get another chance appa, chaliye naa baithte hai.
Appa-kaha naa kanna, baad mein. He said making ishita's face fell.
Raman -u don't worry gudiya, main tumhe gaon mein baithunga, wahan bahut saare bullock cart aur tanga hote hai.
Ishita nodded happily sipping lassi.
After having breakfast, they start the journey again, this time Ishra sat together and enjoyed the journey together. Whole way ishita was talking anything and everything while Raman was just listening to her smiling. Slowly everyone slept only Ishra were talking, after sometime ishita too slept hiding herself in Raman's arms. He just pulled her more closer to him and pecked her temple softly.
After sometime,
Driver-wr can't take the car inside the village, path is too narrow. Aap logon ko yahin se utar kar jaana hoga.
Appa-kitni dur aur hai.
Toshiji-their house is about two kms inside.
Amma-itni dur chalna hoga, woh bhi iss dhoop mein.
Raman -wait, let me do something. Saying so he called his childhood friends from the village. He has already called them and told that he is coming. Everyone was very excited and was waiting for his arrival.
His friend picked the call and said-haan raman, pahuncha tu.
Raman -yes, but gaadi ander nahi aa paa rahi. Can u do something.
Amit-haan, I have a small car, I am coming. U all can come in it.
Raman -do u have any tanga.
Amit-yaar tanga toh nahi hai. Kyun.
Raman -my friend wants to sit in tanga.
Amit-ladki hai.
Raman blushed and nodded saying yes.
Amit-saale, tabhi toh u r so worried. Ruk I arrange something.
Raman-jaldi aa waiting. Saying so he hung the call. He turned and said-my friend is coming. We all can go in his car. Then he turned to the drivers and said-aap log please car side mein park kar dijiye.
Amma-vishwa, we can't take our car inside. Sab thik hoga naa, I am worried. Kahin inn logon ne hume maar dala toh.
Appa glared her and said-kya bakwaas kar rahi ho. Chup karo.
Amma look down ,that's when ishita came out rubbing her eyes and said-kya hua, gaadi kyun ruki hai. Hum pahunch gaye kya, she was saying when she saw something and said-wow, appa see.
All look at the direction ishita was showing and got surprised seeing a chariot coming along with a car.
Ishita jumped in excitement and said-appa,mujhe usme baithna hai.
Appa-how can kanna, woh kisi ka personal lag raha hai.
Ishita-nahi mujhe baithna hai, Raman please mujhe baithaiye naa, it's ur village naa. Please please please, she said pleading.
Raman-ok let it come. I will talk to let u sit, happy.
Ishita nodded happily.
Soon the chariot come to them and stopped. A boy came out of it and said-hi raman.
Raman got happily shocked seeing his friend and hugged him tight. Amit too hugged him tight and said-kaisa jao yaar, it's been so long since we met.
Raman -I am good, tu kaisa hai. Aur yeh chariot kahan se le aaya.
Amit-this chariot is for u and ur friend. Actually u asked for tanga, woh nahi mila, yeh mila. Main yeh hi le aaya, jis jis ko isme baithna hai baith jaayen,baaki log meri car mein aa jaaye. I know it's small but ideal for this road.
Raman looked at ishita and signalled her to sit in the chariot.
Ishita-main baithun.
Amit-haan ji, aapke liye hai, bilkul baithiye.
Ishita-main sach baithun raman.
Raman pressed his eyes and tell her to sit. Ishita went to the chariot happily but then look sadly at raman.
Raman -what happened.
Ishita-yeh itna unche hai, main kaise baithun.
Raman smiled and get on the chariot, held Ishita's hand and pulled her to him. She got up at once and hold raman tightly fearing to fall.
Ishita-chodna nahi, main gir jaungi.
Raman held her by her waist and said-domt worry, I will never leave u alone. They shared a beautiful eye lock which broke by his friend's whistle.
Raman made ishita sit inside the chariot, she was too happy. She sat near the horse and said-chal mere ghode,tik tik tik.
Raman smiled at her childish antics and soon the chariot began to move. Everyone else got into Amit's car and it was behind the chariot.
