EPILOGUE
Ishita was standing infront of the mirror tucking her pallu, when raman came from behind and said-may I help.
Ishita smiled and nodded. Raman took the pin from her hand and start tucking her pallu while she was just looking at him smiling.
Raman -what, kya dekh rahi ho.
Ishita -nothing, just looking how happy I am to have u in my life. Aapne meri zindagi sach mein khushiyon se bhar di.i have never expected ki main zindagi mein kabhi Itni khush ho paaungi. Yeh zindagi ek khawab jaisi lagti hai.
Raman smiled hearing her words and said hugging her from back-but this is not any dream but reality.we r together since five years and today is our fourth wedding anniversary.
Ishita turned to him and said-yeh sach much Ek khawab hi hai raman. We spent such a beautiful time together, today we have everything in life, a loving partner, a very cute little daughter and some very good friends. How things changed over years naa. Sab kuch badal gaya.
Raman -except our love for each other. Naa.
Ishita nodded and hugged him while he too hugged her back.
They stayed in same position for sometime and then Raman said-i think we should go downstairs, everyone must be waiting for us.
Ishita-kaise jayenge, aap bhool gaye kya, ruhi aur vedansh ne hume room mein bandh kiya hai, so that we can't see the arrangements.
Raman -arey haan, I totally forget. But why u r blaming rooh and ved, yeh saara kiya dhara toh ved ke mom dad ka hai.
Ishita smiled and said-yes they r also childish like rooh and ved. Kabhi kabhi toh lagta hi nahi hai ki yeh dono wahin Shagun aur ashok hai, joh kabhi hamari har takleef ki wajah the and now they r such a good friend to us.
Raman -sach mein waqt ke saath insaan kitna badal jaata hai.
Ishita -really raman, I still can't forget the day ruhi was born, kitne khush the naa hum.
Raman -bahut se bhi bahut jyada. Not only happy but I was contented also, kyunki uss din naa sirf ruhi paida hui thi but ur clot was also got fine. U remember the day.
Ishita smiled and both started remembering the day ruhi was born.
Flashback
Ishita-bahut ho achcha naam hai, Ruhi raman kumar bhalla. She said smiling when doctor came inside and said-hello, Mrs bhalla. How r u feeling now.
Ishita-very good doctor, actually can't describe this feeling. It's beautiful.
Doc-yes being a mother is the best feeling in the world.
Ishita-doc, can I feed her.
Doc-yes of course.
Raman -ishita ke clot ke kaaran hamari bachchi ko koi takleef toh nahi hogi naa.
Doc-no no, she will be fine. Infact I forgot to tell u. Because of hormonal changes in Mrs bhalla's body during pregnancy, her clot is disappeared. Now she is all fine. She can freely feed her baby. She said making Ishra happy.
Raman -really doc, ishita ka clot sahi ho gaya. She is all ok now, she don't have to go through any painful procedure now.
Doc nodded in no and raman hugged ishita happily.
Raman -thank u docter, when I can take them home.
Doc-ur wife and baby is all fine. I will discharge them in few hours. She said and went.
Raman looked at ishita and smiled. Both looked at Ruhi and she started crying feeling hungry.
Raman -aww my baby is crying ishita. I think she is hungry. Feed her.
Ishita -main feed karun.
Raman nodded feeling excited. Ishita was also very excited as it was the first ever experience she is going to have. She took Ruhi to her peak and started trying to make her drink water while Ruhi was busy in crying. Raman went near to ishita and hold Ruhi while ishita make her hold her peak. Soon ruhi start drinking milk while ishita closed her eyes feeling heavenly. Her eyes got teary while Raman just settled next to ishru supporting them. Soon ruhi slept in ishita's arms and ishita too slept in Raman's arms. He pecked ishita's temple and make ishru sleep comfortably. He covered the quilt over them and went to complete the formalities for discharge.
After completing the formalities, he was going back to Ishra when he saw ashgun together. Shagun was still crying while ashok was trying hard to console her. Raman felt bad for them but went to ishru.
Soon ishru were discharged and Raman was taking them home when they saw ashok coming to them. His eyes were red and puffy. Ishra were thinking why he is coming when he came and fell in Ishita's feet.
Ishita was startled with his action when he said-shagun is dying without her baby, iss pure clinic mein bas tum dono ke paas iss samay baby hai. Please give ur baby for sometime warna woh mar jayegi.
Raman hold Ruhi tightly and said-what rubbish, Main apna bachcha nahi dene wala.
Ashok look at ishita and said-please ishita, I know Maine bahut galat kiya tumhare saath. But please just for once warna Shagun mar jayegi, please ishita. Ek baar bas. He said holding his hands.
Ishita looked at Raman, he nodded in no holding Ruhi tight.
Ishita-bas Ek baar raman.
Raman -no, she will harm my baby.
Ashok-no she will not. Tum log bhi chalo, just for few seconds ishita, please. He pleaded again.
Ishita looked at Raman, he was still silent. Ishita-she is a mother raman, who lost her baby. She is broken enough to harm anyone. I have gone through it, so I know how it felt it. I want to sooth her pain but will not go against ur will. Yeh bachchi jitni meri hai utni hi aapki, aap joh kahenge wahin karenge hum. She said making Raman think, he remembered how broken ishita was when she has lost her baby and how badly he wanted to make her fine. And today ashgun r in same position. He can't see them in so much pain, so he said-ok but only for few seconds.
Ashok smiled and the trio reach to Shagun. She was continuously crying looking at the empty pram.
Ishita went to Shagun and looked at raman again. He nodded and she gave Ruhi to Shagun. Shagun stopped crying and touched the baby and then look at ishra.
Raman -this is our baby, we came here as ashok said that u r crying for the baby.
Shagun cried hearing this and hugged Ruhi tight and then kissed her little face. Ruhi stayed in her arms for sometime and then start crying. Raman went and took Ruhi in his arms. He start rocking crying Ruhi to sleep.
Shagun looked at Raman and said-i am sorry raman. Mujhe aaj andaza hua how wrong I was. I know meri galti maaf karne laayak nahi but if u can forgive me. She said getting up the bed and then falling on his feet.
Raman looked at ishita, she nodded in yes.
Raman -tumhe itni badi saza bhagwaan ne de di hai, I can't punish u more. I forgive u Shagun. He said and Shagun just folded her hand in gratitude.
Ishita -we r going home but will keep on coming to see u, Ruhi ko bhi laayenge. Soon everything will be fine shagun.
Shagun-i am sorry ishita, I hurt u alot. Please forgive me.
Ishita-its OK Shagun, tum dono ne hamare saath joh bhi kiya woh galat tha but I got my Raman because of it. Ab tumse bas yahin kahungi ki Ek saath khush raho.
Ashgun nodded while ishra went out of the room taking little Ruhi.
Soon Ishra reached home, Raman went inside first and brought an aarti thaal to welcome ishru. He did aarti of Ishra and put tika on their forehead and then tell ishita to come inside.
Ishita walked inside with ruhi and raman took them to their bedroom. Raman make them sit comfortably and said-tum rest karo, while I arrange for food. As I don't have anyone, mihir has arranged a granny, joh tumhara bhi khayal rakhegi aur rooh ka bhi.
Ishita nodded and adjusted herself on the bed with ruhi while Raman went to arrange food for them.
Soon time start passing, ishra everyday went to hospital to see Shagun. Shagun use to love ruhi alot. She was also getting fine and finally after a week she get discharged. Ashgun thanked ishra for their help and again apologise for their bad deeds. Ishra just told them to move ahead leaving everything behind.
Time start passing, ishra were too happy with their little bundle of joy. Ruhi was happily growing under her parent's love. Raman love her just way too much. She was also papa's princess. She want him for everything, for bathing, for sleeping, for changing nappies, for everything and like a dutiful father, he use to do everything happily. Ruhi went to ishita only to have milk.
Everything was going fine, Ruhi was three months old.one day raman was trying to make ruhi sleep when his phone rang. It was ashok's phone. He picked it only to hear they want Ishra help.

Ishra looked at each other and raman said-ofcourse.
Ashgun smiled and all went inside to complete the formalities. Soon ashgun adopted the new born baby. They were very happy and so were ishra seeing them so changed.
After a week, ashgun arranged naming ceremony of their baby and named him vedansh, while ishra named their baby as ruhi. They have already decided her name, was just announced it officially.
