Ishra were going back to bhalla mansion, both were silent. Raman was just driving and ishita was sitting silently taking ruhi in her arms while little Ruhi was sleeping hugging her mumma tight.
Ishita was just softly caressing ruhi's hair. She pecked ruhi's temple and hugged her tight.
Ishita -mumma loves u alot bachcha, she said and pecked her temple again.
Raman saw her like this and could feel her discomfort. He stopped the car and ishita look at him.
Raman -i think Ek Ek coffee ho jaaye. What say.
Ishita nodded silently and said -ok.
Raman came out of the car and opened the passenger seat. He picked ruhi in his arms and both went to the CCD.
Ishra placed order and was silent when raman hold her hand and said -u know naa, u can anything with me.
Ishita looked at him and said -i know Raman, Aap hamesha mere saath hai. Aur yeh baat mujhe hamesha himmat deti hai.
Raman -then why u r tense. R u feeling bad for him.
Ishita -not precisely, I am feeling bad for us. Hume kyun mile aise appa, all father love their kids. U love ruhi so much then we why got him as father. Kyun raman, why life was so unfair with me.
Raman -to be true, I don't have any answer to question. And I know also how it feels when ur parent don't care for u. Mujhe pata hai tumhe takleef hoti hogi yeh dekh kar that ur father don't love u much. But hum toh hai naa, I know main tumhare appa ko jagah nahi le sakta but trust me. I will be with u like a father too. I will love u, care for u, pamper u and will always shelter u. I will not only be our kid's father but will be urs too. He said smiling making ishita smile. She leaned on him and said -u always give me reason to love u more and more. Really raman, I love u alot. U r my support system. U know jab main akeli thi I never understood the meaning and need of companionship but after being with u ,I understand what a true partner mean. And I am happy that after seeing so much hardship in life I got u. Bhagwaan ne mere saath jitna bhi galat kiya hai naa, I will forgive him, just because he gave me u. She said and hide into him.
He smiled and pecked her forehead softly. Then both had their coffee. Till the time they finish their coffee, Ruhi too got up and had ice-cream.
After settling the bills, they went to their car and finally they drove to bhalla mansion.
They entered the mansion and saw it was being decorated. They look at each other and went inside only to see the house full of guests.
Raman saw his parent busy in preparation. They went to Mr and Mrs bhalla and asked what's happening.
Mr bhalla -we have decided ki tum dono ki shaadi jald se jald hogi. Humne date bhi niklwa li hai.parso mehendi, uske baad sangeet, phir haldi aur finally Ek hafte baad shaadi.
Raman -but Itni jaldi papa.
Toshiji -toh kya kare puttar, ishita puttar ko akele toh nahi chod sakte naa, aur bina shaadi ke woh yahan rahegi toh log baat banayenge,iss liye we have planned this. Tujhe koi problem to nahi hai naa ishita puttar.
Ishita nodded in no and Toshiji hugged her tight. She caressed ishita's face and said -waise bhi I can wait to bring my bahu home.
Ruhi -aul mujhko dadi. She said cutely.
Toshiji -haan mera bachcha, tujhe bhi. I can't wait to have u two in our house as a part of family. That's why we prepone the wedding. Ishita puttar, Humne apne kuch relatives ko bulaya hai ,if u want u can also. She was saying when ishita said-mujhe kisi ko nahi bulana, mera Aap logon ke siva koi nahi.
Raman -ishita, if u want u can invite ur amma and Chaitanya.
Ishita-no I don't want. Mujhe unn logon se koi rishta nahi rakhna.yes u must be thinking that I should forgive them but really, mera dil itna bada nahi hai ki main unn sab ko har galti bhool kar unhe maaf kar doon. Main woh sab nahi bhool sakti joh unn logon ne mere saath kiya. Parivar hote hua bhi ek anaath ki tarah jee hoon main. I can never forgive them, naa appa ko, naa amma ko aur naa chaitanya ko. Main kisi ko maaf nahi kar paaungi. She said with moist eyes.
Raman took her in side hug and said -u don't have to forgive anyone. Samjhi tum, if u don't want, tumhe kisi ko maaf karne ki zarurat nahi. Hum toh hai hi tumhare saath hamesha.
Ishita -thank u raman. She said and snuggled more into him while his parent and Ruhi too share the hug.
Mr bhalla -hamare liye hamare bachchon ki khushi se badhkar kuch nahi hai. If u don't want to invite them, we will not force u. He said and the family shared a hug.
Later Toshiji send ishru to stay in the guest room till Ishra got married while told raman not to meet ishita in this week.
Raman made a baby face and said -but maa, how can I live without meeting my little princess.
Toshiji -ruhi se mil sakta hai tu, but not ishita.
Raman made a dirty face and said -main toh milunga, dekhta hoon mujhe kaun rokta hai. He said and went stamping his feet.
Mr and Mrs bhalla smiled seeing him and said -ekdum bachcha hai yeh khud.
Both were happy seeing their family settling well after lots of troubles and prayed to matarani to keep them happy always.
Later in the evening, ishita was arranging ruhi's clothes when Toshiji came to her.
Toshiji -main ander aa jaun puttar.
Ishita -aaiye naa maa.
Toshiji -ruhi kidhar hai puttar. She asked settling beside ishita.
Ishita-kahan hogi, apne papa ke paas.
Toshiji -ruhi bahut pyaar karti hai raman se, naa.
Ishita smiled and said -Karna hi chahiye, Raman hai hi itna achche. He is best father any baby can get. And I am lucky that my baby got him.
Toshiji smiled hearing her and said -tu bhi bahut pyaar karti hai naa raman se.
Ishita look down smiling and nodded in yes.
Toshiji -main bas tujhe thank u bolne aayi thi. Mere puttar ko itna pyaar karne ke liye.
Ishita -isme thank u ki kya baat hai mummy ji. Raman hai ki aise,she was saying when Toshiji said-par tune joh kiya, woh har koi nahi kar paata puttar. That's why I came to thank u.
Ishita -maine aisa kya kiya.
Toshiji -tujhe kya lagta hai, Maine notice nahi kiya, when Ruhi was crying for milk. Tu chahti toh usse godh mein le kar chup kara sakti thi but u didn't do it. U let her cry, coz u know that if she will stop crying in ur arms, that will shatter raman. Toh tune raman ki khushi ke liye, apni bachchi ko rone diya. Tu khud peeche hatt gayi taaki raman uske paas reh paaye. U give ur place to him. And that's why I want to thank u. Tune meri bachche ka dil tutne se bacha liya.
Ishita smiled and said -unka dil kaise tutne de sakti hoon maa,unka dil Ho toh mera ghar hai. Aur koi apna ghar nahi todta. She said and Toshiji hugged her tight. This scene was seen by raman who was bringing Ruhi to ishita. He smiled hearing their talks and realising the depth of Ishita's love for him.
Later in the night, Raman came to ishita and thanked her for the same only to get the same answer. Both spend some quality time together and finally raman went to his room to sleep after tucking his both princess in the bed.
Next morning, all got up early to prepare for the mehendi function. Ishita got ready wearing a green lehenga. Ruhi was wearing a green frock while Raman was wearing green kurta pyjama.
Soon ishita was brought down stairs and Toshiji started the function by applying mehendi on her hand.raman was not allowed in the function and Ruhi was also not liking the smell of mehendi so Raman went out with Ruhi.
