Ishraruh was hugging each other tight when Ruhi broke the hug. She kissed raman's temple and said -i love u papa, u r the best gift anyone can give me. She said and hugged Raman again while Raman too closed his eyes feeling her touch and softly pecked her cheek. She broke the hug in utter surprise and said -u kissed me, u really pecked me naa papa, mumma see Papa pecked me. He pecked me on my cheek, chote papa, see Papa pecked me. She said getting excited making all smiled.
Ishita caressed her hair and said -why won't he peck u, after all u r his princess and papa loves u alot. Naa raman, she said to which Raman just nodded and wrapped ishru again in his arms. This time he could hold them in his arms. He was happy, actually more happy then he could feel or explain as he got something which he could never ever even think off. His last memory was of seeing the blast infront of his eyes followed by something massive banged with his head. And after that, he don't remember anything and when today he opened his eyes hearing got to know that he has a family of his own, a wife who loves him like anything along with a sweet daughter who has been waiting for him since forever. He closed his eyes feeling way too happy when romi said-i think we should let him rest now, bhai ko aaj hi hosh aaya hai and he needs ample rest to became normal and fine.
Ishru broke the hug hearing this and Ruhi said -u r right, chote papa. Papa needs rest, let him rest. She said and kissed raman's temple.
Soon everyone went out of the room leaving Ishra. Though Ruhi don't wanted to go but can't stay also, as only one person was allowed witg the patient.
Ishra saw everyone going and ishita kept her head on his chest. Raman moved a little giving her space and she adjusted in his bed. She was softly caressing his face and was telling him everything that changed in this period of time.
He got to know that how she was lifeless without him and Toshiji got her married to romi aftef his death for their baby. How she loved without him and got totally mad without him. How she went to mental asylum while years passed her waiting for him. How romi and mihika got married and took care of ruhi while their parents passed away. She herself didn't remembered all this but now knows everything as mihika told her everything.
Raman was just listening and getting shock after shock knowing how things changed behind him. He wanted to say something, talk to her but like his body was not supporting him. He couldn't utter a single word even aftef trying. After trying for long, he finally felt tired and slept. Ishita too slept cuddled in him.
On the other hand, Ruhi was sitting in her room wide awake. How much ever she try to sleep, she wasn't able to sleep. She was sitting when there was a knock on the door. She straightened herself and romi came in.
Ruhi -chote papa, Aap, aaiye naa.
Romi -yes, Main. I came to check on my little princess. I thought aaj uska birthday hai toh usko gift dena toh banta hai. Yes I know, she got her parent today and don't want anything more, but being her chote papa, mera bhi toh farz haj toh gift her something.
Ruhi -of course, aapka farz hai aur mera haq, I want my gift chote papa.
Romi took out a small box from his pocket and gave it to her. Ruhi opened it and saw keys. She looked at romi and he said -ur scooty, u wanted it naa.
Ruhi -omg ,u brought it. Thank u thank u, thank u so much chote papa. I badly wanted it. I love u so much. She said happily while he too hugged her tight and said -love u too, now u can also flaunt ur scooty.
Ruhi -can we go for a ride.
Romi -ofcourse,lets go. He said and both went out for their scooty ride. They stopped at the ice-cream parlour and had ice-cream. They talked for long about Ishra and how happy they r about their getting fine and finally went back.
Next morning, ishita was sleeping when she felt that someone is calling her name. She opened her eyes and look around only to see Raman sitting next to her and trying to pronounce her name.
Raman -is ishi, ishiii, ishhhiiitttaaa. He said finally after trying much while she smiled fully hearing her name from him. She got up at once and said -kya kaha aapne, Raman. Phir se kahiye.
Raman smiled and said -iiissshhhiiitttaaa, iiissshhhiittaa. Isshhiittaa.
Ishita got happy seeing him taking her name again and again and hugged him tight. He too got happy and hugged her back.
Later when, Ruhi ,romika and atharva came, Raman took their name too, though with great difficulty but he took everyone's name making all happy. Ruhi was the happiest hearing her name from her papa.
Then Raman was taken for test and his test was done. Most of the test was positive making everyone believe that very soon Raman will be fine. Raman too was trying hard to make himself fine as he want to be fine for his family. Slowly he start talking normally with everyone making everyone happy.
His physiotherapy also started to make him move his body parts freely. He started walking taking baby steps too. Though he was trying hard but still he hadn't recovered fully.
One day, Raman put his feet on the floor and tried to walk. He stand on his feet and start walking slowly taking baby steps holding the bed.
He took few steps and left the bed to walk on himself but stumble.he was about to fall when ishita came running and hold him in neck of time.
Ishita -raman, aap thik hai??
Raman nodded in yes and said -chalne ki koshish kar raha hoon.
Ishita hold him tight and said -let me help u, she said and supported him to walk. He start walking slowly again while ishita was holding him from one side. He look at her and said -agar tum nahi hoti toh mera kya hota??
Ishita -main kyun nahi hoti, I will always be on ur side. She said and both were walking together, when he felt extreme weak in his feet and was about to fall. Ishita couldn't hold him and both were about to fall when Ruhi hold her parent.
Ishra look at her and she said -main apne mumma -papa ko girne nahi dungi kabhi. She said smiling and make raman hold tight making him stand again.
Raman start walking again while ishru were holding him on either sides. They walked for long in the gallery and then Raman told them to leave him.
Ruhi -but papa, u won't be able to balance urself.
Ishita -haan raman, aap gir jayenge.
Raman -agar girne lagaa toh tum log sambhal lena. At least let me try. He said and both left his side and start walking a bit away from him.
At first he felt it difficult to walk alone but slowly he felt comfortable and start walking all by himself. He start walking and said -see ishita, Ruhi, I can walk of my own.
Ishru happily nodded and let him walk. He walked for sometime and then said -hold me, I can't balance myself anymore. Saying so he was about to disbalanced when ishru hold him. He wrapped his arms around ishru and trio happily went back to his bed.
Ishru made him sit on the bed and he hugged ishru tight and said -because of u two, I am able to recover so fast, thank u so much .
Ishita -isme thank u ki kya baat hai raman, hum toh hai hi aapke liye. She said and both adjusted in his chest while Raman was just happily wrapped ishru in his arms.
