Soon ishita came out happily with a tray in her hand and placed it infront of all. All see ,she has brought, tea with paneer pakoda and mint chutney. Kids got happy seeing this while Mr bhalla said-arey puttar, whats the need of this. I told u to make u comfortable but tune toh bahut mehnat kar li. This is not done puttar ji.
Ishita -khaiye naa papa ji, did all this for our family only. I saw paneer and mint in fridge, so thought to make ur favourite paneer pakoda .
Mr bhalla smiled and start having it.
Mr bhalla -veru yummy, kitna achcha lag raha hai, aaj meri puri family phir se ek saath hai, feel like nothing changed .
Toshiji -ofcourse bhalla ji, kuch nahi badla, bas hamari family thodi badi ho gayi hai. That time we have two grandchildren, now have three. Hamara chotu ichu bhi toh aayi gaya hai hamare paas. She said smiling looking at ichu who was busy in relishing his paneer fritters with sauce. He looked at toshiji hearing his name and smiled showing his dimples while his face was covering with much of sauce.
Ichu -haan ichu bhi aa gaya, he said cutely and start eating again making everyone smile.
Mr bhalla was sitting beside adi, he was sitting too silently looking around and wasn't eating anything.
Mr bhalla caressed adi's hair lovingly and said -what happened, puttar. Why u r not eating anything.
Adi nodded saying nothing and again sit silently.
Mr bhalla -raman, see what's wrong with him. He is being all shy. This is ur house puttar ji, don't be shy.
Toshiji -haan puttar, tu sharma kyun raha hai, it's ur house only. Achcha ek kaam kar, dad paas aa, I will feed u.
Adi -no dadi,i am fine. He said taking a paneer pakoda. When Toshiji got up and went to him. She sat next to him and said feeding him -dadi se kaisi sharam puttar, kha le mera bachcha. She said and he had the bite while his eyes turned moist.
Toshiji cupped his face and said -kya hua puttar, tu ro kyun rahi hai.
Adi hugged toshiji tight and start crying. Ishita got up to go to him when raman stopped her and signalled her to let him cry as he will feel light after pouring his pain.
Adi cried for long while Toshiji was consoling him continuously. After long adi said -i missed u all so much. We were so alone without u all. Why u all send us away from urself. He said sobbing making everyone feel sorry for the little kid.
Toshiji hugged adi tightly again and said -sorry puttar ji. It's all our fault that we can't keep u all together.
Adi -u know what dadi,thata and paati too left us alone, mumma was so alone, she always use to cry. And one day she fell off the stairs. I was so scared, everyone said that my mumma will die. I was so scared, I was crying but no-one was there to console me. I missed u all so much, aur phir kal ichu hua, woh rota bhi nahi tha. All said that he will also die, mumma bahut roti thi. Sab kuch kitna ganda tha, we were living a hell, why u send us away from ur life. Aap hum log se pyaar nahi karte the kya. He asked crying pouring all his pain while everyone start crying hearing the pain the little boy went through. Toshiji and Mr bhalla hugged adi tight and said -sorry puttar, we couldn't do anything for u, but now we will give u all every possible happiness, please forgive us. They said together while ishra were just looking at each other happily with moist eyes.
Mr bhalla pulled Ruhi and ichu to the hug and toshiji called ishra too. All joined the hug and the family shared a warm hug.
All stayed together for sometime and Mr bhalla said-bachchon -i know our past is very painful, but no-one can change it as its past but now we will always stay together. Naa toshiji.he said to which all just nod. Toshiji pecked foreheads of their grandchildren and then told everyone to go to their room and rest.
Adi -main Kahan jaaun papa. He asked and Raman took him to a room. It was a room decorated on car theme.
Raman -this one is for u adi. U love cars naa.
Adi nodded happily and hugged Raman tight. Raman too hugged him back and kissed his forehead. Adi went happily to the room and was shocked to see everything as per his choice.
Raman -u like it.
Adi -i loved it papa, but how u set this in such a small span of time.
Raman -ur papa can do anything to see this beautiful smile on ur face.
Adi smiled and said -love u papa.
Raman -love u too bachcha. He was talking to adi when ichu came crying and calling raman.
Ichu -papa, papa.
Raman turned hearing his voice and picked ichu in his arms.
Raman -what happened chotu, why u r crying.
Ichu-ichu ka loom nahi, ichu Kahan lahega.
Raman -hai naa ichu ka room, come let me show u. He said and took ichu to a room, it has his abd Ishita's pic all over the walls, even his bed was covered by pics of them to make ichu feel relaxed with their presence. Ishita came to the room and said looking around -omg raman, it's so beautiful and perfect for ichu. How u got this idea.
Raman -i contacted a child psychologist, she advised me to make his room full of our pics to make him feel safe,feeling our warmth around him. All this will help him to get well soon. He said making ishita smile.
She came near to raman and said -yes all this will help, I too know this, it's just I don't have that much money to make it done. Thanks for doing so much for adi and ichu.
Raman -thanks, really ishita. They r my kids too. I know I did very wrong with them but now, he was saying when ishita said -lets just forget about all this. I want to start afresh with u and our family. I don't want to remember that time when I was without u. She said and hugged Raman. Raman too hugged her back while ichu was busy in looking into the room.
After settling all their kids in there respective room, ishra finally went to their room which was just next to ichu's room.
Ishita entered the room and at the front wall saw a big pic of them, together smiling, from the time of their togetherness.
Ishita smiled seeing that and said -u still had this pic here.
Raman hugged her from behind and said -could never throw u out of my heart, I always loved u.
Ishita rested her head on his chest and said-i love u too raman. It's so nice being with u, here, in ur arms.
Raman -i have a surprise for u too. Wait let me show u. He said and cane with few envelopes, he gave them to ishita and stand beside her for her reaction.
Ishita looked at the envelopes and said-whats this raman.
Raman -open and see.
Ishita opened the envelopes and find few invites from various hospitals.
Raman -woh actually I have send ur cv to some hospitals, so they have send u invites to join their hospitals. U can go through it all and see in which hospital u want to join.
Ishita looked down and said -actually raman, I don't wanna join any hospital. She said calmly.
Raman -why, OK u r thinking that I will again react the way I reacted in past, but aisa nahi hai. I understand everything now, ab main gussa nahi karunga. U can work, in fact u should work.
Ishita smiled and leaned on Raman and said-hold me tight raman.
Raman obliged to her and she closed her eyes feeling heavenly in his arms.
After sometime she said-i don't wanna work raman. Issliye nahi coz I doubt u but because I don't want to. U know from last seven years, I was a doctor, only a doctor. Even I can't be a good mother.
Raman -why u r saying so, he was saying when ishita said-let me complete Raman, from last seven years, I was trying to be my kid's father. I had to earn for them, so I had to work, chahun naa naa chahun.i couldn't be their mother, Raman, U know jab adi ka birthday hota tha, and I couldn't come ,when ichu called mumna first, I couldn't hear. Maine apne bachchon ka bachpan nahi dekha hai. So now I just want to be their mother, ur wife and mummy ji papa ji's daughter in law, ab doctor banne ka mann nahi hai. Don't force me raman, I don't wanna work. I want to live with my family, for my family. She said resting her head on his chest.
