Raman open his eyes feeling sunrays falling on face, he looked around tried to recognise the place when his eyes fell on the most innocent face of the world. Little Ruhi was sleeping next to him, almost hiding in him. Raman smiled seeing her sleeping so near to him. He softly pecked her temple and said -good morning princess, to which she just snuggled more into him. Raman got up slowly not to disturb her sound sleep, he get off the bed and closed the curtains to make her sleep comfortably. He covered Ruhi properly with the quilt and went out. He was smiling remembering their passionate encounter of last night. He went to check ishita and saw her still sleeping peacefully in his bed wrapped in the white sheet, he went close to her and sat next to her. He softly caressed her face and pecked her temple.
He sat there for sometime admiring her beauty, her hair was messy, her kajal was smudged, but still she was looking the most beautiful girl in world to him, wrapped in colours of his love,her pink cheeks were showing how happy she is. he pecked her hair again and was going when he felt a tug on his wrist, he turned to see and next moment he was pulled on her. She make him rest his head in her valley and said -stay here only, I am liking it.
Raman smiled hearing this and said -good morning beautiful.
Ishita pecked his forehead and said -where u went in mid of night leaving me alone.
Raman -ruhi was crying, she was hungry. Ussi ke paas gaya tha, I fed her and rocked her to sleep, and now my chotu baby is sleeping peacefully. He said smiling happily.
Ishita smiled hearing this and said -u know u r the best anyone can get, best father and best companion, I am so happy to get u in my life.
Raman -u r lucky but I am the luckiest to get the most beautiful wife and most cutest daughter. I love both of u so much. He said and pecked her temple. Ishita just closed her eyes feeling his touch. She wrapped him in her arms and said -love me raman.
Raman raised his head and look at her in disbelief.
Raman -kya.
Ishita -yes, I want u to love me again, love me naa.
Raman cupped her face and said-no jaan, we have already done it many times, now u should rest or else it will hurt u.
Ishita's face fell hearing this and she said -u r making excuses naa,just because u don't want to love me anymore naa,main sundar nahi hoon issliye naa,coz I have these ugly scars naa.she said with moist eyes.
Raman raised his face and kissed her temple lovingly and said -kya tumhe sach lagta hai that I don't want to love u, don't u feel my love in my touch, I too want to love u day and night, it's just I don't want to hurt u. We have already did it many times last night, so I just want to give u rest, nothing else. And for god's sake stop saying urself ugly coz u r the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
Ishita -main sach mein khoobsurat hoon raman. She asked meekly.
Raman pecked her forehead again and said -sabse khoobsurat.
Ishita -do it again, she said and Raman pecked her temple again. She hugged him tightly and said -its not me, that's beautiful, it's ur love, which is making me beautiful. Yeh sab aapke pyaar ka asar hai. Mujhe pyaar karna kabhi kam mat kijiyega.
Raman -never, yeh pyaar sirf badhega, kam nahi hone wala. He said and ishita hugged him tight.
They stay sometime like that, then Raman was getting up when ishita said -stay here naa, I am feeling good around u.
Raman -was going to make tea for me, tum bhi piyogi.
Ishita nodded in no and said -i want to sleep for some more time in ur arms, I want to feel safe in ur arms, please stay with me here. U always rock and pat Ruhi to sleep. I am also ur baby, love and pamper me too like Ruhi. She said snuggling more into Raman.
Raman smiled seeing her behaving like a small baby craving for love. Actually she is also like a small baby who is craving badly for love, coz no one ever loved her or pampered her ever.
Raman just make her rest her head on his chest and start patting her softly. She closed her eyes feeling his soft touches and soon she slept again hiding her face in his chest.
Raman pecked her hair and said -yes, tum bhi ek choti bachchi hi ho,just like Ruhi. Bas difference yeg hai but Ruhi has u to protect her but u don't have anyone ever. Shayad issliye hi sabne tumhare saath itna bura kiya but now I am with u two and will not let anyone hurt u, I will always protect u against all odds. He said and kissed the back of her palm.
Raman stayed there for some time and finally got up slowly and went to freshen up. After half an hour, he came out and saw ishita was still sleeping.
He went to her and said caressing her face -dekho kitne peacefully so rahi hai, seems like after years of torment and torture today she finally found her solace. It's so good to see u sleeping forgetting all ur pain and insecurity. He said and went out pecking her temple again. Then he got ready wearing his black tee with white khaki pants.
He went to ruhi's room to check her and found she was already up and was eating milk powder taking it out from the shopping bag, she has smudged all the milk powder on her face and hands, even spread much on the bed sheet. She was busy in eating the milk powder oblivious of a pair of eyes seeing her and his lips curved into smile seeing her cute antics.
He hide behind the door and said -ruhi.ruhi raise her head and look around searching for raman saying, papa.
Raman smiled thinking, she recognise his voice also. He get inside and Ruhi got happy seeing him. She got up and walked to her smiling.
Raman picked ruhi in his arms and said -mera bachcha kya kar raha hai.
Ruhi show him her hands and said -duddhu khayi khayi, yummy yummy, mithu mithu. She said happily and excited.
Raman -achcha, Ruhi ka duddhu mithu hai.
Ruhi nodded and forwarded her hand to let raman taste it, Raman tasted it and said -sachchi Ruhi ka duddhu yummy yummy mithu mithu. But babu gandu gandu ho gaya.he said making Ruhi look at him.
Raman -sachchi, mera babu gandu gandu ho gaya. He said making Ruhi burst into tears saying -luhi gandu babu, ab papa pyaal nahi kalenge, she said and start crying bitterly.
Raman -nahi bachcha, papa bahut saara pyaar karenge apne babu se, papa nahai nahai karayenge bachcha ko, then my baby will be good good baby.
Ruhi look at him and asked -chacchhi, luhi achcha babu.
Raman -sabse achcha, sabse pyara. Mera pyara bachcha, he said. Ruhi smiled wholeheartedly hearing this and clapped throwing all the milk powder from her hands to his face.
Raman wiped his face and said -dono maa beti ek ho jaise hai, always need assurance that they r beautiful and I will always love them. He said and was going to washroom when the maid came.
Raman told her to clean the rooms, leaving his room, and then make breakfast for them. And told her to go after making breakfast, as they will go out after having breakfast. Maid nodded and start doing her work while Raman took Ruhi to freshen her up.
Raman made lukewarm water for her and make her sit in the big bath tub, she start enjoying and playing with the bubbles while Raman was her small hair and body. He was enjoying being father to her while she was also loving all the love and care from Raman.
Soon Raman took Ruhi out wrapped in the pink fluffy towel and then made her wear a pink romper with pink hair band. He combed her hair with baby brush and made her wear socks . He smiled seeing her all ready while Ruhi was busy in smiling showing her tiny winy tooth and beautiful dimples.
Raman picked her in his arms and said -now my bachcha is ready, now we will have breakfast, he said and both went out.
