Raman was still sitting looking all worried when Mr bhalla went to him and said -why u r so worried puttar, hum sab rahenge to help u. Tu bilkul pareshan mat ho.
Raman -i am just thinking how I will manage everything, meri studies, yeh saare business, Itni badi property. Main kaise karunga.
Mr bhalla -u will do puttar, I know u will.
Raman -but main sab akele, aap bhi saath hote toh kitna achcha hota. He said looking at his father with hopeful eyes.
Mr bhalla -i can't be with u, but meri blessings hamesha tumhare saath rahegi. Aur waise bhi Mr iyer toh hai hi tumhe guide karne ke liye.
Raman nodded and just side hugged his father. Mr bhalla too hugged him tight knowing well these r the few moments, which he will get with raman. And after going back he will hardly get chance to meet him. He took raman in a bone crushing hug and pecked his temple softly. Both his wives were seeing the scene and their eyes were moist. Toshiji was crying seeing the love between the two while Reena was crying seeing Mr bhalla's affection for his first family.
Soon the day passed in a jiffy.
Next day, Ishra were all set to leave for Delhi along with toshiji and iyers. Raman and toshiji now has to go and live in the big bhalla mansion.
All were sitting in the drawing hall, talking and instructing raman how to take care of everything and to call them in crisis. Raman was listening everything silently.
They were about to go when Raman go to his father and hugged him tight. Mr bhalla too hugged him back.
Raman -papa, Aap bhi chalo naa. he said again hoping a positive answer from him.
Mr bhalla -i can't bachche, I just can't. He said wiping Raman's tears.
Raman broke the hug and went back to toshiji. Toshiji looked at Mr bhalla with moist eyes, he too was looking at toshiji with moist eyes. Both looked away wiping their tears and Mr bhalla went to his room not able to take the pain.
Raman and all start walking out of the haveli when all heard noise of bullet being shot. All were shocked and ran to Mr bhalla's room as the sound came from his room.
All entered the room and was shocked to see the scene infront of their eyes.
Mr bhalla was holding reena tight while she has shoot herself. All ran inside all shocked.
Toshiji -kya hua bhalla ji.
Mr bhalla -dont know when I entered the room, she was with the gun and before I could understand anything, she shoot herself. Call the doctor. He said to his younger brother when Reena stopped him and said -koi Kahin mat jaiye, I don't want to be saved.
Mr bhalla -why u r saying this,tum bach jaogi. He said when Reena said -aap chup rahiye, mujhe bachna nahi hai, just listen to me what I want to say. She said and held Mr and Mrs bhalla's hand.
Reena -aapke pati ki galti nahi hai toshi, it was me who wanted him in my life. Main pyaar karti thi unse. That night I made him drunk and then provoke him to come close to me, kyunki main unhe apni zindagi mein chahti thi. She said making them shocked.
Reena -yes,i did everything just to get him. Aur omi ne bhi apni galti maan kar mera hamesha saath diya. I got him but not his love. Woh aaj bhi aapse pyaar karte hai and now I don't have strength to come between u two. So I am going, main jaa rahi hoon Aap logon ki zindagi se apni betiyan, simmi aur rinki ki zimmedaari ,aap dono par chod kar. Please love them like Raman. Inn sab mein unka koi kusoor nahi hai.woh dono bahut choti hai and they need a mother. Aur aapse achchi maa koi ho hi nahi sakti. Bas aap meri bachchiyon ka khayal rakhiyega. She said folding her hand and before toshiji could answer anything she died.
All were shocked with this sudden death but very few were sad. As all wanted mr bhalla and toshiji to be together.
Soon the procedure started again and Reena's body was taken for last rites. All were sitting silently not knowing how to react while simmi and rinki where crying their heart out. Simmi and rinki, r three years old twin daughter of Mr bhalla and Reena, both were crying bitterly over her mother's death.toshiji couldn't see them crying and make them sleep.
Iyers were also there waiting for all this to end so that they can go back to delhi. Yes they were sad for the loss but now they just want to go back. Everyone was there but Raman were nowhere. Ishita looked for him around and then went to find him.
Raman was sitting silently on the terrace hiding his face in between his legs . Ishita walked to him and asked touching his back-kya hua raman, aap yahan akele, she was saying when Raman hugged her tight and burst into tears.
Ishita was shocked with his sudden outburst and said rubbing his back -kya hua raman, why u r crying.
Raman -maine unhe hamesha galat samjha, gudiya. Unki koi galti nahi thi still I always poured my venom on him. He was also suffering like us. Phir bhi I hurt him always. He said crying bitterly making ishita realise that he is guilty for blaming and hurting Mr bhalla always.
Ishita hugged him tight and said -its wasn't ur fault Raman, aapne wahi kiya joh aapko jagah koi bhi hota toh karta. Agar uncle galat nahi the toh it wasnt ur fault also. She said trying to make raman understand while he continued crying in her embrace.
Slowly days start passing, everything was getting fine. All rituals ended and finally Ishra came back with their family.
Ishra were sitting together in the car with Mr bhalla and Mr iyer while Toshiji and amma was sitting in another car with simmi and rinki. As the girls were two small, they gelled up well with toshiji.
Later in night, ishita was feeling chilly so raman hide her in his chest and both slept cuddled in each other. Their father smiled seeing them.
Mr bhalla look at appa and said -hope u have understood by now, that raman loves ishita. Mera puttar bahut achcha hai, maine toh kiya apni biwi ke saath, woh ishita ke saath kabhi nahi karega, so please don't ever try to separate them because of my bad deeds.
Appa look at him and said -i know ,raman meri beti se bahut pyaar karta hai. And to be true, mujhe inn dono ke rishte se koi aitraaz nahi hai,kyunki if Raman loves ishita, ishita is also fond of him. Pyaar kehna shayad thoda jaldi ho, but she cares alot for raman. He said and both smiled.
Soon all reached Delhi, iyers were going to their house while bhallas to their, when Mr bhalla said-ishita aa sakti hai hamare saath, we want to enter our new house with our whole family, after all she is also family. Aap log bhi aaiye, if u guys r not much tired.
Iyers look at each other and appa said -nahi, hum ghar jaate hai. Ishu agar jaana chahe to she can go.
Ishita agreed happily and soon bhallas went towards bhalla mansion while iyers to their bungalow.
Soon they were infront of bhalla house. All kids were shocked seeing the big mansion.
Ishita -yeh aapka ghar hai raman. She asked excitedly.
Raman nodded in yes.
Ishita -ab aap yahin rahogi.
Raman nodded in yes.
Ishita -kitna sundar ghar hai, aur kitna bada bhi. Kitni saari cars bhi hai .yeh sab aapka hai. She asked happily making Raman smile. He nodded in yes.
Ishita jumped in excitement and said -wow, kitna bada ghar hai. Main khelne aa sakti hoon yahan.
Mr bhalla -ofcourse puttar, waise bhi it's ur house only. Kuch din mein tum bhi toh iss ghar ka hi hissa ho jaogi. He said making ishita smile while Raman blush.
Soon Mr and Mrs bhalla went inside hand in hand with simmi and rinki. Raman was going inside when ishita said -ahh.
Raman turned to her and asked -kya hua gudiya.
Ishita -mera pair dard kar raha hai, I can't walk. Can u please pick me up. She said opening her arms.
Raman -thoda saa chal lo. Maa papa hai.
Ishita made a baby face and start crying-mujhe chala nahi jaa raha toh kaise chalungi. Main toh chota bachchi hoon naa.
Mr bhalla saw her crying and came to Ishra.
Mr bhalla -kya hua puttar.
Ishita -mere pair mein dard ho raha hai, I can't walk. Raman is not picking me up. She said making a baby face.
Mr bhalla -koi nahi puttar,main tujhe ander le chalta hoon, he said and was about to pick ishita when she said -nahi, Raman uthayenge. She said and then bite her tongue thinking what she told.
Ishita -i mean, main chal paaungi. She said looking down making mr bhalla smile while Raman look down feeling embarrassed.
Mr bhalla -raman, ishita puttar ko ander le jaa. Apne room mein, uske pair mein dard ho raha hai naa. Upar first room in the left.
Raman didn't said anything just picked ishita in his arms. She lovingly wrapped her arms around his neck and he took her to his room.
Mr bhalla walked to toshiji smiling.
Toshiji -kya hua bhalla ji .
Mr bhalla -pyaar hua hai toshiji, aapke bete aur hone wali bahu ko.
Toshiji smiled hearing this and said -they look so good together. Matarani unhe hamesha khush rakhen.
Mr bhalla nodded and they too went to their respective room. As toshiji was not comfortable sharing a room with him, both decided to stay in different room while the girls were stay with toshiji.
On the other hand, Raman took her to his room and said -tune drama kyun kiya.
Ishita -i wanted to enter the house with u in ur arms. Jaise movies mein hota hai naa, ekdum waise hi.
Raman smiled hearing this and said -tu ekdum filmy hai gudiya. He was saying while ishita looked around and saw the room was decorated with many pics of raman. Many from his childhood also. Ishita came down his arms and walked to the pics.
Ishita touched the pics and said-wow Raman, yeh aap ho naa.kitne cute hai aap, aale lele babu types ekdum. Cute pinky babu with dimples.
Raman smiled and said -i was a kid at that time. Yeh dekho mere birth ke time ki. Maa papa was so happy. He said showing her an old pic.
Ishita -i was also happy when u born.
Raman -jhoothi, tu toh paida bhi nahi hui hogi.
Ishita -so what, I was looking at u from sky and was being happy.
Raman -achcha, par tu khush kyun ho rahi thi.
Ishita -coz my would be hubby was born. She said looking down blushing.
Raman -kya, kya kaha tune.
Ishita -kuch nahi, bas aapke sawaal ka jawab diya. Uss din dadu ki tabiyat kharab hone se pehle, u were asking me something, bas ussi sawaal ka jawaab diya. She said making Raman remember his question.
Kya tu meri votti banegi??
Raman smiled fully and said -toh tera answer haan hai. He asked smiling.
Ishita nodded in yes only to be picked by raman again. He happily picked her and swirl her in happiness while she just smiled seeing him so happy after so long.
