EPILOGUE

Ishita tilted the rice pot and flashed a bright smile towards her mother in law who stood at other side of door holding pooja thali for her welcome. Raman handed sleeping ruhi in Mihir arms and hold ishita hands tightly. Ishita lifted her lehenga slowly and dipped her feet's in vermilion water and took her first step in her new home. She came to his apartment many times but today was different. Earlier she there as Ruhi aunty but today she entered as Raman's wife, daughter in law of bhallas and mother of Ruhi.

"Aa jaa Puttar. Tere naye ghar mein. Ab aaj se hum sabko response ki bility teri" Ishita laughed aloud hearing her mother in law comment.

She looked towards Raman who slumped down on sofa after exhausting events of day. Ishita sighed seeing her crazy husband and took Ruhi in her arms who was squirming in Mihir arms. Ishita patted her back slowly and took her in her princess bedroom which was adjacent to Raman room. Slowly putting her over bed, Ishita removed her princess crown and starightened her hairs. The feeling of becoming mother was unable to express for her today. She lived so many moments in those months was because of the little angel who stepped in her life. Ishita peaked her forehead slowly and covered her with duvet.

"Meri choti si gundi" Ishita whispered nuzzling her nose against her plumpy cheeks.

"Sara pyar sirf beti ko? Papa ko kuch nahi?"

"Meri beti duniya ke har pyar ki haqdaar hai. I promise Raman main kabhi iski aankhon mein aansoon nahi aane doongi"

"I know ishita. Bhale hi Shagun ne Ruhi ko janam diya ho but main janta hoon tum usse mujhse bhi zyada pyar karogi. Humesha..." Raman rested his head over ishita shoulder and both chose to adore there daughter who became reason of there union.

After few hours Raman led ishita to there room. A knot formed in her stomach seeing the room decorated with roses and scented candles. In between the chaos of marriage she completely forgot about her fears which was about to come true. Ishita fished her veil in her fist seeing Raman who was busy in removing his stole.

"Kaise biwi ho yaar tum. Na milk lekar aayi na hi chehra ghoonghat se cover karke baithi ho" Ishita arched her brows hearing his sarcastic remark. Already she was sweaty because of nervousness and her Ravan Kumar was not making it easy.

"Kuch bhi" Ishita managed to speak and started to look here and there to avoid her husband.

"Tumhe aaj bhi jhooth bolna nahi aata na" Raman interlaced his finger with her and led ishita towards bed. Making her sit over bed, Raman studied her features intently. Indeed she was tired because of the day event but still she managed to steal his heart with her innocent looks.

"Hum toh dost hai na phir kyon nervous ho rahi ho?"

"Main?"

"Jhooth mat bolo. Tumhe saalon se janta hoon main"

"Woh..."

"Vaise ek baat bataao. Kal tum mujhe itne foreign looks kyon de rahi thi jaise main tumhe khaa jaaunga "

"Main" Ishita bit her cheeks realising Raman still remembered things she was trying hard to avoid.

"Bolo" Ishita started to play with her fingers seeing him nudging her. "Kuch kuch ho raha tha na" Ishita eyes widened hearing his whispers near her earlobe. She sucked a deep breath and decided to bow hear head down.

"Umm"

"Haaye...sherni madrasan sharmaati bhi hai. Trust me I was teasing you yaar. Remember hum sabse pehle dost hai phir husband wife"

"Issi baat ki toh nervousness hai mujhe. Humne life mein aaj tak kutte billi ki tarah ladne ke alaawa aur kuch nahi kiya and suddenly ekdum se itna close...itna intimate rishta. Mujhe nervous nahi karega kya?"

"Jhalli biwi. And trust me tumhare consent ke bina kuch nahi hoga. Kabhi bhi"

"Bas baba. Main samjh gayi. Mera Ravan Kumar Saint Kumar hai. Mera nervous hona bekar hai. Aap jo ho mere saath" Raman joined his head with Ishita who closed her eyes to savour the moment.

"Aaj humari wedding night hai. Kuch maangun toh doge? "

"Pati ka toh kaam hi hai biwi ki maang bharna. Maang madrasan" Ishita swat her hand over Raman shoulder and took his hand in his. Clearing her throat she continued,

"Long drive pe chalein? "

"Hain!!!"

"Please chalo na Raman. Yahi wedding gift chahiye mujhe"

"Pagal hai kya madrasan. Yahan subah se sabse meri band bajaayi hui hai oopar se ab Tujhe long drive pe jana hai? Hatt. Sone de mujhe"

"Chalo na Raman. Mujhe first night pe mana karoge?"

"Oh hello. First night pe bohot acche kaam kiye jaate hai. Long drive pe nahi jaate log"

"Toh hum chalte hai na. Aapki Royal Enfield pe"

"Lo! Yahan Pati ki subah se kamar toot rahi hai aur biwi ko bike drive pe jana hai. Ek toh romance bhi nahi karne deti oopar se faltu demand karti hai"

"Kaise baat karte ho ladki se aap?"

"Oh hello. You are grown up 29 years old lady. Aur vaise bhi main apni biwi se baat kar raha ho. Padosi ki biwi se nahi" Raman pulled ishita in his arms, a blush crept over her cheeks feeling his breaths over her exposed shoulder. She tilted her neck little and allowed him to pepper small kisses over her shoulder. Raman bit his lips seeing his newly wedded wife and showered her nape with kisses. Next he moved towards her face which was flushed with the sudden encounter but her trembling lips invited him. Interlacing his fingers with her he decreased the remaining distance he had and took her red lips in soul searing kiss.

Ishita circled her arms around his nape and gripped him for support. The new found intimate feeling were hard to digest for her. They continued to tangle there lips until they became out of breath. Raman looked at her again, seeing ishita panting made him laugh loud. He take her in his embrace and peaked her forehead again.

"Haaye!!!!Sharmaate hue tamatar lagti hai tu madrasan"

"Aise hi chedte rahoge ya chaloge bhi?" Raman huffed hearing her words and went towards his cupboard. Taking his pair of jeans he went towards washroom, "ready ho ja bhootni. Chal Tujhe tera wedding night ka gift deta hoon" Ishita jumped in excitement, planting a soft kiss on his cheek she pushed him and went inside taking her yellow color anarkali.

"Pagal hai " he spoke smiling at her childish antics.

"Jaisi bhi hogi tumhare saath yeh zindagi bahut dilchasp hogi"

Soon Raman came out from washroom and fetched his keys and the newlywed Bhalla couple decided to explore empty roads of Delhi at 2 am of night.

Next day Bhalla residence was filled with numerous guests. Santosh Bhalla invited all her kitty friends for Ishita mooh dikhaayi. The house was filled with laughter and Japanese and being new daughter in law ishita cooked pysam for everyone. Later at night santosh Bhalla announced her sudden four month pilgrim trip along ishita mother. The next day both ladies left for pilgrim visit leaving ishita, Raman and Ruhi.

Ruhi got the family she yearned most. A loving mother who wake up her daily, who make her hairs, who made her eat lunch and dinner and a father who pamper her every evening. The child who always used to become sad seeing her friends with there mother's now learnt to laugh whole heartly having her mother and father around. Raman got a partner who always took part in his business discussions, relax him whenever he had any tension and also made him flirty Bhalla like his old college days.

*********************************************

It was normal day in Bhalla house when Ishita was on her toes behind father and daughter duo who were fast asleep in there room. Ishita put her hands in her waist seeing carefree father daughter who was not ready to buzz little even after hearing buzzing sound of alarm. She tucked loose end of her pallu in her waist and stromed towards Raman.

"Maine mana kiya tha Raman ko late night movie ke liye. But meri sunta kaun hai. Khud ne dekhi toh dekhi saath mein ruhi ko bhi involve kar liya. Woh toh hai hi choti. In sab baat on se tempt hogi na but inhe akal honing chahiye na. Ab dekho na khud uthne ko ready hai na ruhi uth rahi hai" Ishita flared her nose in anger and threw cushion over Raman face who was lost in his own world.

"Utho Raman. 7.30 baj gaya hai. Aapne kal kaha tha na Ruhi ka school miss nahi hone doge? Ab kya hua? Bol bacchan "

"Kitna bolti ho tum subah subah. Verbal diarrhea. Dikh nahi raha main aur meri princess so rahe hai. Khud ko neend nahi aati aur Humaari neend kharab karti ho"

"Raman you are hopeless. Sirf aapke karan ruhi ka school miss hoga aaj" Raman snuggled against ruhi and covered his face with duvet which made ishita irked more. Seeing him unaffected Ishita clutched Raman shirt collar from behind and pulled it, "Utho aap Pehle."

"Pagal ho gayi hai kya Chudail. Pati ko kitna pareshan kar rahi ho subah subah"

"Aap na... Pehle meri sunte nahi ho phir sab gadbad kar dete ho"

"Are toh aise kya aafat aa gayi agar Ruhi ek din school nahi gayi toh. First mein hi toh hai woh. Tum na bas subah subah shuru ho jaati ho" Ishita threw another pillow over his face and stromed towards kitchen leaving confused Raman behind. After preparing his tea and breakfast Ishita hurriedly ran towards there bedroom and smacked her head seeing there bed which was messed in worst way. Ruhi was sleeping beneath blankets, Raman files and laptop were all over on bed including his night clothes.

Murgun mujhe strength do please!!!!!

"Yeh room hai ya kabadkhana? Kya hai yeh sab kuch? 20 minute mein poora kamra aapne store room bana diya Raman? Aur yeh geela towel... yeh geela towel bed pe rakhte hai kya? Har ek baat sikhaani padegi kya aapko?"

"Kitna bolti ho tum? Tumhe dentist nahi parliament mein hona chahiye tha. Jaanti ho tumhaari bolne ki speed ko measure karne ke liye ek verbealmeter hona chahiye. Bakbak bakbak..."

"Aur aapke one liners ki capacity ko dekhke aapko lab mein le jana chahiye. Apni galti kabhi seekhi hai maanna?" Raman scratched his head seeing his angry wife. He love to tease her but it was not easy to control her temper too. He smirked seeing his madrasan who looked tempting in his favourite blue color saree. He took baby steps behind her and within no time clutched her from her waist.

"Chodo mujhe"

"Chodne ke liye thodi pakda hai"

"Aap yeh buttering kisi aur ko karna. Chodo mujhe Raman"

"Are meri ek hi biwi hai. Usko hi buttering karne ka legal right hai mere paas" Ishita chuckled seeing his flirty way.

"Chodo na baba" Ishita managed to moan in between his butterfly kisses.

"Tum kabse itni sharmane lagi? 2 din Pehle toh badi sherni ban rahi thi" her cheeks became tomato red hearing his remark which made her remember there little out way and there steamy night they shared.

"Ruhi so rhi hai" Ishita slowly said and buried her head in his chest.

"Aah... koi na isse hum doosre room mein continue kar lenge. Humaare personal interest se bacchi ki neend nahi kharab honi chahiye na" Ishita hugged him tightly seeing Raman who within time scooped her in his arms and took her in another room.

*****************************************

"IshiMa mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai"

"Kyon beta?"

"Papa daatenge IshiMa"

"Nahi daatenge Ruhi"

"Nahi IshiMa. Hum isko kahin chupa dete hai na"

"Baccha ek din ki baat thodi hai jo kaam chal jaayega. Ek na ek din toh Papa ko pata chalega hi na"

"Par IshiMa..."

"Rooh IshiMa aapke hi saath hai baby" Ishita ruffled ruhi hairs and continued to stir curry in pot. She could see anything but can't see frown over her baby face. She looked towards wall clock, the clock was already striking 7.30, means Raman could be at home anytime. Ishita knew convincing Raman was not easy but she can't see her daughter sad face. Soon door bell rang and before ishita could unlock door she found Ruhi running towards her room along basket.

"Hey Jaan" Raman peaked ishita forehead seeing her smiling face. He threw his tie next to his coat and slumped over sofa. Ishita handed him glass of water which he gulped in go and closed his body to relax his muscles bit.

"Ruhi kahan hai?" Raman asked with closed eyes after not hearing any commotion in home.

"Woh...ander hai"

"Oh. Itni shaanti acchi nahi lagti hai na" Raman chuckled and started to remove his socks and shoes. Soon he retired towards his room and ishita rested her chin over her palms. She composed herself seeing Raman coming out from room and started to heat food. "Ruhi kahan hai yaar? Rooh..."

"Papa" Ruhi jumped over Raman hearing his voice and wounded her hands around his neck. "Kahan tha baccha? Kya kya kiya aaj din bhar?"

"Main homework kar rahi thi Papa. You know maine aaj saari padhai ki. Aur maths bhi ki"

"Waah. Aaj meri bacchi itni good girl ho gayi" Raman picked ruhi in his arms and settled himself over table. He amazed seeing his favourite dishes lined up on table. "Palak paneer, matar pulao, chole, butter roti, gulab jamun. Koi festival hai kya aaj?"

"Nahi Raman sab aapke liye hi bana hai. Bataao na kaisa bana hai khaa ke" Raman took aback seeing his wife who never cooked punjabi dishes in there two months of marriage but suddenly lined up dishes infront of him. He took little morsel and remained amazed tasting amazing food. Without saying anything trio hopped over food.

After sometime where Raman started to watch match ishita and ruhi again started to exchange worried glances with each other. Raman who already doubted mother daughter finally switched off TV and made stern face, "makkhan toh maar chuki ho dono. Ab bataaogi kya kaam hai mujhse"

"Makk...makkhan? Kya baat kar rahe ho Raman"

"Natak band karo. Bataao baat kya hai"

"Woh..."

"Bolo bolo..."

"Ruhi ki ek wish hai and you have to fulfill it"

"Kya?"

"Aaj se is ghar mein ruhi ka friend bhi rahega"

"Konsa friend? Unke Maa baap ne unko ghar se bahar nikal diya kya?"

"Papa please mana mat karna" Raman creased his brows seeing his wife and daughter desperate attempts. Till now he understood the thing was pretty big.

"Pehle bataao toh kon hai woh"

"Muttu" Ishita and Ruhi sang in unison and after few seconds Raman eyes widened seeing small puppy who was licking his feet.

"Aahhh!!!!! Yeh kahan se laayi tum? Bhagaao isko yahan se" Raman jumped over sofa seeing white furry puppy near his feet. "Na jaane kabse reh raha hai yeh yahan par. Bhagaao isko yahan se. Ruhi... ishita...bahar chod ke aao isko"

"Papa Muttu dar jaayega." Ruhi spike innocently and covered puppy ears with her small hands.

"Yeh dar jaayega? Main dar raha hoon. Nikaalo isko bahar" Raman shouted again hearing little barks by puppy. "Isko kon leke aaya hai yahan?"

"Mani ne gift kiya hai ruhi ko. Uski pet ne four pups diye aaj toh usne ek ruhi ko gift kar diya"

"Are orphanage hai kya yeh? Aur yeh kaisa dost hai tumhaara? Apni responsibility doosro ko de deta hai. Nikaalo isko bahar"

"Raman please... kitna chota hai woh aur cute bhi. Kyon peeche pade ho aap uske. Ruhi ka kitna mann hai mutthu ko rakhne ka. Rehne do na usko yahan. Humaare bade se ghar mein yeh chota sa pup reh gaya toh kya hoga?"

"Mera bada sa ghar insaano ke liye hai. Jaanwaro ke liye nahi"

"Papa please...Muttu bohot sweet hai. Kuch nahi karega"

"Ruhi usko neeche raho. He will bite you. Tumhare kapdo pe susu kar dega woh"

"Kuch bhi bolte ho aap Raman. Aisa kuch nahi hota hai"

"Tum bahar karo na usko. Kya lecture de rahi ho mujhe"

"Raman puppy yahi rahega."

"Kya?"

"Haan. Yeh yahi rahega. Aap faltu mein dar rahe ho"

"Nahi"

"Haan. Two yes and one no hai. Toh puppy yahi rahega."

"Please Papa " Raman cried inwardly seeing small puppy in his daughter arms who was easily giving him puppy looks along with his wife. How would mighty Bhalla tell that he is scared of dogs.

"Tum Maa beti dono team up ho gayi na more against? Dekh loonga tujhe madrasan. Keep this puppy away from my site" Raman growled and soon jumped from couch and ran towards his room leaving grinning ishita and ruhi behind.

Continued down

Yeh Ishita phone kyon nahi pick kar rahi hai mera?" Raman murmured hearing the unanswered call and redialled ishita number again.

"Yaar madrasan phone uthaao. Phone pick hi nahi karna hota hai toh rakhti kyon hai" Raman flared his nose in anger with another unattended call. He started to rub his temple in tension where his mind occupied with all sort of bad thoughts. Within no time he picked his car keys and about to sprint towards exit but stopped seeing his phone flashing Ishita number, "Pagal ho gayi ho kya tum? Phone kyon nahi pick kar rahi thi mera? Janti ho tum kitna pareshan ho gaya tha main? Ho kahan tum?"

"Ra...Raman woh...woh main..." Raman's voice suddenly mellowed hearing hiccups from other side.

"Hey kya hua? Ishita tum ro...ro kyon rahi ho? Ruhi..Ruhi theek hai na" Raman dashed towards parking with fast pace with his mind filled with concern for Ishita and Ruhi. He was about to ask again when he remembered his daughter went on movie date along her Paati and Dadi and Ishita was on leave due to health issues.

"Ishita please bolo na baba kya hua hai. Mera dil baitha ja raha hai"

"Woh...aap ghar...ghar aa jaao na please"

"Han han main aa raha hoon but promise me ki tum bilkul nahi rona. Main abhi 15 minute mein aata hoon" within no time Raman car zoomed towards Akash Ganga Society. The heavy traffic on Friday morning was making hard for him to complete distance but at same time his restlessness was not making easy for him to reach at home. As soon as he parked his car in society parking he started to take long strides and reached on floor

"Ishita..." Raman cupped Ishita teary face and hugged her gently. He first scanned her body which he found completely fine. He thanked god for probing his one assumption wrong but still his heart was racing seeing her continous cries. "Hey tum ro kyon rahi ho? Jaanti ho main kitna dar gaya tha?"

"So..rry "

"You shouldn't be ishita. Accha ab bataao kya hua hai" Ishita gulped her saliva seeing Raman concerned face. She again buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes. Unable to understand anything Raman started to stroke her back and kissed her hairs lightly. "Feeling better?"Raman asked after sometime seeing her snuggled in same position.

"Raman woh... mujhe headache and vomit ho rahe the na toh..."

"Tumhe food poisoning hua hai? Shit! Shit! Shit! Maine mana kiya tha na tumhe ki bahar ka mat khaao but tum sunti hi nahi ho meri. Kyon ishita? Kyon karti ho aisa?"

"Nahi mujhe..."

"Bas hum abhi hospital ja rhe hai. Main ambulance..."

"Nahi... Pehle suno toh meri." Ishita snatched Raman phone angrily and threw it on other side of bed. "Main woh..."

"Bolo na"

"Aap Papa banne wale ho Raman"

"Woh toh main Pehle se hoon yaar madrsan. Tu mujhe kyon heartattack de rahi hai? Bata na kya hua hai"

"Raman...samjho na" Ishita pulled his hand with force and keep it over her flat belly. The words registered in his mind after few seconds and a teary smile came over his lips. "God!!" Raman immediately wrapped Ishita in his tight embrace and showered kisses over her face. Ishita caressed his jaw lightly and buried herself in his chest more.

"You scared me madrasan. Jaanti ho kitna dar gaya tha main" Raman made ishita sit over bed and kneeled infront of her. Taking her palms in his he again peaked her back of palms. The happiness of there faces were unmatchable today. The feeling of becoming parents again was something ishita and Raman could cherish again and again. Ishita pulled him on bed and again hugged him.

"I'm scared Raman."

"Kyon baba? Dar kyon rahi ho?"

"Umm"

"Bolo toh sahi"

"Raman agar main ek acchi Maa nahi ban paayi toh? "

"Kya?"

"Raman maine kabhi nahi chaha tha ki ruhi ke alaawa humara doosra baccha bhi ho. Main meri bacchi ko kabhi alag feel nahi karwana chahati hoon"

"Ishita..."

"Raman main nahi chahati ki Ruhi kabhi bhi doosre bacche ke kaaran insecure feel kare. Main uski asli Maa nahi hoon Raman. Main nahi chahati ki log.."

"Toh logo ke liye tum apni mamta ka gala dabaogi? Logo ke liye tum usse bacche ko saza dogi jo abhi tak is duniya mein aaya bhi nahi hai? Logo ke liye main tumhe humare bacche ke saath kuch galat nahi karne doonga. Kisne haq soppa hai hume aisa karne ka?" Ishita became mum seeing Raman who became agitated hearing ishita demand.

"But..."

"Shut up! Ishita society hum banate hai, aur iske rules bhi. Agar hum yeh rules bana sakte hai toh inhe badal bhi toh sakte hai na. Ishita main jaanta hoon ki tum Ruhi se kitna pyar karti ho, main janta hoon tum kabhi aisa kuch nahi karogi jisse humaare bacche hurt ho phir aisa kyon sochna?"

"Aur kabhi aisa hua ki mere kaaran dono mein se koi ek hurt hua toh? Kabhi mujhe ek ke oopar doosre ki khushi choose karni padi toh?"

"Toh hum ussi ko choose karenge jo sahi hoga. Ishita zindagi mein har problem ka solution problem neglect karna nahi hai. Hume isse fight karna hi hoga"

"Kabhi main kahin kam pad gayi toh?"

"Toh main hoon na... tumhara other half. Hum dono milke in dono ko bada karenge aur inhe duniya ki har khushi denge. Inke liye world ke best parents banenge. Haina?" Ishita happily peaked Raman forehead.

The stigma of society for Step Mom never allowed her to think about her own child. But today when she saw two pink strip over pregnancy test kit, she realised about her dreams but at same time scared for her daughter as well but hearing Raman words she understood she don't have need to scare for anything. Indeed the father daughter duo are with her to understand her.

"Doctor se consult kiya?"

"Abhi nahi. Ghar pe hi toh pata chala"

"Toh ruko phir. Hum Pehle doctor se milte hai then yeh good news denge" Ishita nodded in affirmation and other side Raman immediately booked appointment with gynaecologist who treated Shagun. As expected everything went well at doctor. On the way of home Ishita and Raman were thinking about Ruhi and other family members reaction.

"Raman suno Ruhi ko kaise bataaenge?"

"Maine kuch socha hai" Raman stopped car near mall and purchased big chocolate cake along gifts for Ruhi and other family members. Elated with the news Ishita and Raman decorated Ruhi room and placed gifts for her. Raman was about to make call to know about his family weatherbounds when sudden squeals of Ruhi make there face lit.

"Papa Ishima. Aaj maine khoob saari masti ki... dekho Chachu ne mujhe gifts bhi diye" Ishita hugged her daughter and saw the packets her mother in law, Amma and Mihika bought. She understood her little bomb made them shopped so much. Ishita was excited to share the news but seeing her chatterbox family she got irritated little. Raman was about to shout but stopped seeing Ruhi who went towards her room to keep her gifts.

"Papa...IshiMa" Raman winked at ishita hearing Ruhi voice. Both maintained there stern face and looked towards there daughter who came back with a pair of stuffed toy in her hand, "Papa aap bhi Ruhi ke liye gift laaye? Aur yeh two teddy kyon laaye ho? Ruhi toh one hai na"

"Are tu bhi le aaya iska teddy ka bear. Hume bata deta Puttar hum nahi dilwaate"

"Are daadi ander chocolate cake bhi toh hai... but uspe kya likha hai Papa?" Seeing Ruhi scratching her head Raman took her in his arms and motioned everyone to follow him. As soon as everyone entered, there faces gleamed seeing a huge banner of congratulation over Ruhi double bed and cake over her study table. Unable to understand more, Mihir removed the covers from cake and shouted, "Bhai...congratulations"

Mihika who was equally excited and confused followed Mihir and smiled with teary eyes seeing Congratulations to big sister icing written over cake. She looked at ishita who was blushing while hugging ruhi. "Are Ruhi badi didi banne wali hai. Matlab ki Ishu Mummy and Jiju Papa banne wale hai"

The family broke into joyous laughter hearing great news and both mother's fondly peaked Ishita forehead and blessed her. Other side Ruhi started to jump over bed hearing news of having sibling. The shining faces around them all that Ishita and Raman wished for.

Raman clutched Ishita hand and gave her satisfactory smile. The evening spend merrily where everyone congratulate couples and mother's gave long list of do's and don't to Ishita which was expected by Raman.

"Sun khotte khabardar aaj se tune meri bahu ko tang kiya hai toh. Aajkal saare kaam khud karne ki aadat daal. Aur ishita tu aaj se bilkul bhi doud bhaag nahi karegi aur woh teri heel wali sandals, saari utha ke rakh de store room mein"

"Haan IshiMa aaj se aap bas rest karna. Main big baby hoon na, main apna saara kaam khud kar loongi. Aap bas rest karna" Ishita became overwhelmed seeing her little daughter who suddenly became mature hearing news of her sibling arrival. "Thank you IshiMa mujhe mera chotu sa bhai dene ke liye. Ab main bhi sabko bolungi ki main badi didi hoon" whole family laughed seeing Ruhi antiques which made ishita realise that both of her kids are equal for her and with such a supporting family she will raise her both kids well.

Soon the time started to pass and Ishita each day passed with a new experience. Motherhood bliss was something which she couldn't define in words but she enjoyed each and every day with support of Ruhi and Raman. Her businessman husband suddenly became doctor for her where her little daughter suddenly become mature. Although her mother lived next door but she never felt like to call her Amma as Bhalla brigade always there for her help.

"Raman..."

"Raman..."

"Utho na" Raman jolted from his bed seeing Ishita who was glaring him in dimlight of night lamp. He rubbed his eyes and looked over the watch which was showing 3 in morning. He checked his wife and relieved seeing her normal,"Tum theek ho na?"

"Haan mujhe kya hua hai?"

"Kuch hua nahi hai toh mujhe uthaya kyon?"

"Mujhe black current icecream khana hai" pregnant ladies are dangerous then any other weapons, Raman knew this thing very well. He sighted and laid down over bed and covered himself fully.

"Raman utho na. Mujhe black current icecream khana hai"

"Kal khaa lena. Abhi so jaao yaar"

"Nahi abhi khana hai. Chalo na"

"Aisa flavour nahi milta hai Delhi mein. Abhi so jaao na"

"Raman please chalo na"

"Ishita..."

"Please" Ishita made a sad pout seeing her husband angry and irritated face. "Raman you promised me you will stand with me in every thick and thin. Ab kahan gaya aapka woh promise?"

"Yaar tum toh blackmailing pe utar aayi ab"

"Sorry!!" Raman grunted seeing ishita who laid down with a pouty face. He keenly observed her and found she was murmuring something inaudible. He shifted his body towards her little and saw Ishita was sulking while caressing her belly. "Koi baat nahi aisa hota hai. Aap Papa se gussa mat hona. Hum manage kar lenge. Haina baby?"

Pregnant ladies and cravings!!!!

Raman went towards his cupboard and fetched two fur coats, wearing one he forwarded other to Ishita, "Utho Nautanki madrasan. Ice cream parlour dhoondh ne chalte hai"

"Sacchi????"

"Mucchi" Raman mimicked like Ruhi and gave his hand to heavily pregnant wife and soon there Sedan zoomed over the foggy road of Delhi in search of blackcurrant ice cream. Raman wanted to pull his hairs for one but he knew nothing will work for Ishita now as she herself working according to her hormones.

After an hour he managed to locate one ice cream parlour and somehow by god mercy he found blackcurrant available there, "Raman two bowls lana "

"Bhukkad" Raman murmured and lifted tray after paying the bill. Seeing his wife relishing taste of icecream made him content but whenever he saw blackcurrant in her bowl he wondered how on earth someone could eat blackcurrant.

"I love you hubby" Ishita snuggled lovingly after coming out from parlour taking icecreams for family member as well.

"Love you too crazy madrasan " Raman caressed ishita hairs lovingly and both drove back towards there home. Raman was scared because of ishita weak body state but he never expressed his concern infront of her. He always prayed to murgun for Ishita and baby wellbeing. Loosing his partner once made him more scared and possessive for his family. Soon the due date came and ishita admitted to hospital. Whole apartment filled with Ishita loud screams till Raman arrived.

"Kahan Mar gaya yeh aadmi? Mihika call him"

"Ishu Akka relax. I'm doing that. Jiju aa jaayenge"

"Mere marne ke baad aayenge kya" Ishita growled and clutched her belly.

"Ishita ishita..."

"Aur late aa jaate na aap" Ishita managed to growl in between her cramps. Raman who was panting widened his eyes in shock hearing her sarcastic taunt.

"Sorry baby. Chalo chalo. We will reach soon. Mihir gaadi nikal" Raman supported ishita back and helped her in descending steps. "Aah...I'm dying Raman"

"Aise mat bol madrasan. I love you"

"Sab tumhare pyar ke kaaran hi hua hai. Zyada pyar aa gaya tha na us din"

"Pagal hai kya tu? Bol toh aise rahi hai jaise main khud hi involve tha. Remember tum bhi baad mein sher ban gayi thi"

"Shut up!!! Sab tumhare karan ho raha hai. Ek toh main yahan mar rahi hoon because of pain and aap mujhe attitude de rahe ho"

"Kya aurat ho tum yaar? Humesha meri fault nikalti ho. Tujhe pata hai Mihir parso ruhi ko maths mein kam marks aaye the toh bolti hai mere kaaran aaye. Khud ki maths bekar hai and Raman Bhalla ko blame deti hai"

"Dekha na tune Mihika. Aise hi hote hai yeh mard. Pehle mess mein daalte hai phir blame bhi daalte hai. I'm warning you don't you dare to marry with someone"

"Aapne lock sahi se lagaya tha na?"

"Kya?"

"Are ghar ka lock. Yaad hai na last week chori ho gayi thi Pammi Aunty ke yahan"

"Ermm..."

"Aiyoo murgun!!! Dekha na inko Mihika. You are seriously impossible. Agar kuch gaya bahar toh don't blame me. Ek toh khud hi irresponsible ho oopar se mera dimag khaate ho"

"Tum mujh pe mat chadho. Tumne chilla chilla ke mere kaan faad diye toh main kya karta"

"Irresponsible male chauvinistic" Raman grumbled hearing her murmurs and gave deadly glares to Mihir who was trying hard to control his laughter.

"Mihir do fast...varna yeh Bhalla couple humare ears burst kar denge" Mihir gave pitied look to Mihika and accelerated speed towards hospital. Inside the hospital the crowd was amazed seeing yelling ishita and panicked Raman who was wheeling her towards gynaecologist. "Raman...aah...I'm..."

"Are I know you are in pain but chup ho ja meri Maa varna tera chillana sunke baaki saaro ke heartfail ho jaane hai. Doctor Prachi kahan hai? "

"Aah..."

"Doctor jaldi."Doctor Prachi smiled seeing panicking Bhalla couple and ordered to wheel ishita inside her cabin. "Ishita will take time. The cramps are not enough intense for delivery" Raman sighted and started to wheel helped ishita in shifting private room.

"Jiju why are you not going inside?"

"Apni behen ko dekha hai? Kaatne ko ho rhi hai mujhe. Main nahi ja raha ander" Mihika chuckled seeing Raman frightened face and decided to sit near ishita who was moving over bed because of pain.

"Kahan hai woh Ravan Kumar? Aur tu kyon aayi ander?" Mihika bit her lips seeing ishita who was acting like wounded lioness today. She felt pity over Raman but at same time she could imagine the pain ishita was bearing. It's not easy to bring a life on earth, many times she read about the labor pain but today seeing her friend in critical condition almost gave her goosebumps. She signalled Raman to go inside and decided to stay with Mihir in corridor.

Madrasan!!!!!! Matarani jaldi se isko theek kar do please

Raman took a slow steps and went towards Ishita who laid with close eyes, her face looked exhausted with the struggle and uncomfortability of pain yet a small smile was dancing at corner of her lips. "Raman"

"I love you" Raman sat near Ishita and caressed her palms lightly.

"I know. Raman bohot pain ho raha hai"

"I didn't know my bold madrasan could even cry"

"Aapne Mummy ji aur Amma ko call toh nahi kiya na?"Raman smacked his head realising he haven't informed there mother's who went along Ruhi in her school one day tour.

"Main karta hoon"

"Rehne do. Let them enjoy na. Vaise bhi 2 hours mein toh pick karna hi hai. Aap mihir ko bhej dena" Raman nodded silently and continued to stroke her hairs. The time was not ready to pass today, one side was ishita pain and other side there excitement of welcoming newborn both things were hard to handle the couple. Someone said right some waits are unbearable but worth to wait.

"Raman it's time for delivery" Doctor announced after two hours seeing Ishita contractions. Raman gulped his saliva hard seeing Ishita who's face became red because of yells.

"Raman agar mujhe kuch ho gaya toh Ruhi aur baby ko sambhaal lena...please"

"Yeh kya keh rhi ho Ishita" Raman face became pale hearing Ishita blabbers. "Doctor..."

"Kuch nahi hoga Raman. She is panicking. Don't worry. Main hoon iske saath" Raman peaked her head last and let ishita go inside of labour room. The next twenty minutes made his heartbeat upside down including her Amma and Toshiji. And everyone took a breath of relief when they heard loud cries of baby along Ishita loud yell. Raman eyes brimmed with tears when he cooed his little bundle of joy in his arms.

"Congratulations. Beta hua hai" Raman peaked his son forehead who was sleeping peacefully. The bundle wrapped in white fur blanket made him remind the day he first took Ruhi in his arms. "Mera bhai Papa" Raman nodded hearing his daughter happy squeals and looked towards Ishita who was unconscious and shifted in her ward again. Raman gave little one in others arms and sat near Ishita who looked drained out after her delivery.

"Beta hua hai" Raman nuzzeled his nose against Ishita forehead who was smiling weakly after gaining her conscious back. "Thank You"

"IshiMa" Ruhi climbed over Raman lap and gave Ishita sloppy kiss. The family excitement was worth to watch today. Everyone was on there toes to play with there little one. Santosh Bhalla silently send prayer to God for making her son life complete.

"Ishu baby ka name kya socha hai?"

"Baby ka name Ruhi rakhegi "Ruhi chipped in between while sitting in Raman lap

"Accha...toh kya naam socha hai meri princess ne chotu baby ka?" Ishita signalled Ruhi to come near her. Ruhi sat cross legged and gestured Raman to keep baby on her lap. Everyone laughed seeing little Ruhi who was adoring her little brother with awed face.

"Name toh bataao baby ka" Raman caressed Ruhi hairs and both shared smile.

"Jaise Ruhi ka name Raman Papa se match karta hua hai vaise hi is chotu baby ka name Ishita Mumma se match karta hua Ishaan hoga" Ishita and Raman face gleamed hearing the beautiful name kept by there daughter. Ishita kissed Ruhi and Ishaan forehead and Raman hugged Ruhi lightly.

"Ishaan Raman Bhalla" Ishita and Raman spoke there son name with excitement.

"Moment to capture" Mihir declared in instant and captured the beautiful family in his camera.

Later in night Raman send all family back and decided to accompany Ishita in hospital. He securely made small child sleep in cradle, Ruhi on spare bed & hugged Ishita who was admiring father son duo from bed, "Feeling well?"

"Hmm"

"Tune dara diya tha mujhe madrasan" Raman chuckled and pecked ishita forehead again.

"Main khud dar gayi thi jab pain start hue but everything is worth infront of this happiness. Ruhi kitni khush hai na aaj"

"Haan uska bhai aa gaya na. Life complete hai na ab"

"Haan...jaise humne sochi thi. Sweet sour humari family ke saath" both chuckled and again snuggled against each other and continued to admire there children who were fast asleep.

"Ek baat poochoon?"

"Hmm"

"Tum woh mazak mein keh rahi thi na?"

"Kya?"

"Yahi ki haath nahi lagane dogi" Ishita smacked Raman head and gave him faint kiss over his lips, "buddhu Bhalla. I love you"

"Love you more"

"If two hearts are meant to be together, no matter how long it takes, how far they go, how tough it seems, fate will bring them together to share their love forever and ever"
