Ishita was shocked hearing this from Raman, not even in her dreams, she has thought that raman will trust her before her explanation.
She was just looking at him with shocked expression when Raman hold her hand and said shaking her -ishita,r u here.
Her trance get broke and she started crying loudly hugging Raman making everyone start looking at them.
Raman felt weird with everyone looking at them with confused eyes. He consoled her and said -ishita, ghar chalo. Yeh sadak hai, everyone is looking at us. Please don't create a scene here. He was saying to her slowly when a lady came and asked -what happened Raman, why ishita is crying. Kuch problem hai kya.
Ishita realised their position listening the lady's question and said composing herself -kuch nahi Mrs mehta, actually I got hurt, toh dard ho raha tha.
Mrs mehta -kamaal hai ishita, Itni badi ho kar chot se darti ho.
Ishita -haan bahut darti hoon, chot lagne se.but I am glad that I have raman with me, u saved me from getting more hurt. She said looking at Raman who also look at her.
Raman -chalo ishita, I think we should go home. Everyone must be waiting. He said and took ishita to his house.
Mr and Mrs bhalla along with Mr and Mrs iyer were waiting for ishra while Ruhi was nowhere.
Toshiji -dont know where Raman took her, hope both will be fine. He was looking angry, naa bhalla ji.
Mr bhalla -no, he wasn't. He wasn't angry but he was thinking something. Aayega toh batayega, let us wait.
Amma -i really wish, everything will be fine, Itni badi news hai, I really wish ki sab kuch thik ho, ishu kanna thik ho.
Appa -don't get over excited, I don't know how much we can rely on the news. Ishu had serious problems, then how can she conceive.
Toshiji -why u r telling this iyer sahab. Matarani has the power to do everything, don't worry sab achcha hoga.
All were busy in talking when ishra entered the house hand in hand.
All got up and went to them. Amma hugged her tight congratulating ishita while appa wasn't able to believe it yet. He asked, is the news is 100% right.
Raman nodded and said -we will go to doctor in the evening, and then everything will be clear. I think for now we should just let her rest.
Mr bhalla -woh toh hum karne hi denge, first tell me where u took her.
Raman -to subbu's house.
All got angry hearing this and Toshiji said -uss wahiyaat ke ghar kyun le gaya tha tu ishita puttar ko. Don't u know subbu and his mother always taunt ishita for being infertile. Kitni baar toh Maine unhe jawaab diya hai.
Raman -main bhi wahin karne gaya tha,to tell them that ishita is not barren but she is going to have a baby. Even I have invited him to the party we r throwing tonight.
Mr bhalla -aaj raat ko party hai.
Raman -yes, Itni badi news ki khushi mein.
Appa -but who is giving party.
Raman -aap log,go and invite everyone, I want a grand party to welcome the new member of our family.
Toshiji -good good, haan bhalla ji party te honi hi chahiye. Mera puttar phir se papa joh banne jaa raha hai.
Amma -aur meri kanna amma, haan vishwa jao party ki arrangements shuru karo. Main uss subbu ko amma ko dikhana chahti hoon ki meri kanna banjh nahi hai. She said and hugged ishita. She softly kisses Ishita's temple and went to their room.
Toshiji too kissed her temple and said -puttar, tu jaake aaram kar, main tere liye badam pista wala doodh bhejti hoon.
Ishita nodded and said -ji mummy ji. She said and was going when ishita look around and said -mummy ji, Ruhi Kahan hai.
Mr and Mrs bhalla look around and Toshiji said -kithe gayi, abhi toh yahin thi.
All got worried and start looking here and there when ishita came out of her room and said -ruhi yahan hai.
All sighed in relief seeing Ruhi and ishita said -betu ,aap kya kar rahe the room mein.
Ruhi showed them a poster and said -yeh kar rahi thi. I was making a welcome poster for my little baby. Achcha hai naa mumma, achcha hai naa papa.
Everyone saw her cute drawing and said -very pretty.
Ruhi -chotu baby isse dekh kar khush hoga naa.
Ishra nodded and raman said -bahut khush hoga, but now let mumma go and rest. Chotu baby is very tired.
Ruhi -ok papa, but chotu baby kab aayega.
Raman -very soon.
Ruhi -i will be big sister naa.
Raman nodded and said -yes, u will be big sissy. U have to take much care of the chotu baby.
Ruhi -i will take very much care of my baby, I will love him alot. She said opening her little arms making everyone smile.
Then Raman took ishita to their room while Toshiji went to make milk for ishita. On the other hand, Mr bhalla and Ruhi went to make arrangements for the party.
Ishra went inside and ishita sat on the bed. Both were silent just looking at each other waiting the other to say but none was speaking.
Sometime passed like this, Ishita was sitting still silently not able to say what happened between them that night. While Raman was also feeling awkward to ask such personal questions. Coz they were not so informal in their relationship.
Seeing her telling nothing, raman finally said-ok I am getting a hint ki yeh kab hua hoga. That day when we went to the clinic and the doctors were doing test on the couples ,and u told us to be volunteers for the same. Ussi din karwaya tumne yeh artificial insemination naa to check whether you can conceive or not. But ishita this is not the way, u should have asked me, main jaanta hoon that u badly want to remove the tag of being infertile, but u should have discussed it before doing something like this, what if I didn't trust u, have u thought about our relationship before doing so. He was go on saying when ishita said meekly -u r getting it wrong raman, I got pregnant with the natural process not by any artificial means. She said looking down making Raman shocked. He wasn't able to observe the words she told. he looked at her with confused eyes and walked to ishita and said -u mean, u and I,
Ishita nodded and said -we had a night together. She said making Raman shocked to no end. He was shocked beyond words, he was about to fall but hold the table for support. He just look at her and asked -kab hua yeh and how on the earth I don't about this. He said making ishita cry.
