Appa didn't allow Ishu to go back with Raman to Mumbai .
Appa: If you want to live with my daughter then come here, to Chennai. I don't trust you, if you are in Chennai I can keep an eye on you. My daughter had suffered enough, I don't want her to suffer more.
Raman agreed for the same.
Bala: I'm sorry to say this Raman but I don't want Mihika and Rinki to stay with you. You people can meet when ever you want, talk in phone and all but I don't want them near my sister.
Mihika would be living with Mihir but Rinki. According to ritual Rinki is supposed to be at her maayak after godh bharai. How is he going to tell this to Bala. He looked apologisingly to Rinki and Ishu. Before Rinki could say anything Ishita cut in.
Ishu: Anna let it be na.. I'm happy as long as he is being a good father to my daughter. I don't care about who lives with him or not. Then you people are also there na.
Mihika (to Bala): You don't worry jeeju I will take Rinki with me.
Bala nodded him head and all headed back to Mumbai.
After one week, Raman came back after shifting his head office to Chennai. He took a flat near Iyer house for rent. After being satisfied that everything is set he went to Iyer House.
Ruhi was so damn excited with the fact that she is gonna live with her father. Even she is a kid she too had wished for her father to be with her whenever she saw her friends with their papa. The bond shravu shared with her Bala Mama had always made her jealous.
As soon as Ruhi saw Raman entering Iyer House, she ran to him and jumped on his arms. Raman took her in his arms and threw her in the air and caught her. She giggled and a beautiful smile adorned on both IshRa's lips seeing their princess happy.
Raman's eyes meet Ishu's, both shared an eye lock which was broken by Ruhi's giggle. Ishu's eye got moist seeing Ruhi so happy, never in this 3 and a half years she had seen her this much happy.
Raman with Ruhi in his arms came near Ishita.
Raman: Ish.. Ishita chale..
She just nodded her head. Raman put Ruhi down and picked up IshRu's luggage and kept in his car. Soon IshRaRu left the Iyer House. Ruhi was so excited, throughout the drive she was just blabbering something or the other sitting on her mumma's lap.
They reached their new home. When IshRaRu were about to enter the house someone stopped them. It was Vandu, she was standing there with arthi to welcome her bhai and bhabhi to their new house.
House warming was a simple affair with IshRaRu and BaNduSh. Soon they also left leaving IshRaRu alone.
Ruhi: Papa ye hamala ghal hai..
Raman: Haan princess..
Ruhi: Now we all will live togethel na.. You don't have to go fol long business touls like last time na..
Raman looked confused when Ishu interrupted them.
Ishu: Rooh did you see your room. No na come mumma will show you.
Ruhi ran inside, Ishu was about to follow her but Raman stopped her by holding her wrist. Before he could ask anything she herself told him.
Ishu: I didn't want my daughter to think that her papa don't love her, his love and priorities are with his sisters, anyways that's why I lied. Don't think much!!
She left behind Ruhi. Raman stood still, he wasn't able to see hatred for himself from someone who he loves like anything. She wasn't the same Ishita he knew, this Ishita is more strong mostly she now have a razor sharp tongue.
Raman now knew he have to do a lot to get back her, his Ishita, his wife who once used to run behind him like a puppy.
Inside Ishu was crying. She knew she is hurting Raman but couldn't help it. Whenever he is near her she just control her anger and tongue.
Days started passing, there was no much progress in IshRa relationship, whenever Raman tries to initiate a conversation with her it would end up into something unexpected. Bala could see how much Raman was trying to convince his sister even he felt bad for him. So he decided to talk to Ishu.
One day, Ruhi was in her play school and Raman in his office. Thinking it to be the best opportunity to talk to her, Bala came to IshRa house.
Bala: Ishu.. What are you doing??
Ishu: Meine kya ki anna??
Bala: That's what I'm asking you.. can't you see how much Raman loves you and how much he is trying to convince you.
Ishu: Did I tell him to convince me. No naa. If he is doing it then it's his problem not mine. See now even you are on his side.. *tears threatened to fall from her eyes*
Bala: Ishu it's not like that kanna. I'm not telling that what Raman did was right but just think from his side. His sisters blackmailed him that they would leave the house..
Ishu*tears flowed from her eyes remembering that day*: Then what about me anna. *wiping her tears* no one could understand what I went through. I was pregnant, my husband threw me out of his life. If you weren't there then what would have happened to me. I didn't have any money with me, Mumbai ki kissi sadak pe padi hoti.
Bala: Ishu I understand what you went through kanna. But he didn't just threw you out he said he will drop you, it was you who denied. Khair chod ye baath what he did was wrong but think from his side, you had appa amma but what about Rinki and Mihika. If they go out, where would they have gone.
Ishu was silent because she knew he was right but the wife in her couldn't forgive him.
Bala *continued*: See Ishu I know what Raman did to you was wrong. But it wasn't his fault it was the situation that made him do that. Just give him a chance Ishu, he really loves you.
Ishu *sobbing*: I can't forgive him anna. This wasn't the first time he chose his sisters above me, it was always them. He didn't accept my love because he thought his sisters' would accept then he married me because his sisters' wanted to then he threw me out because his sisters' wanted to. Where am I in his life? Do I have any position in his life?
Bala looked on thinking how to make her understand. While she continued
Ishu: Just leave all this, okay I agree his situation made him do that but did he search for me after that. Did he check on me whether I'm alive or dead? No! I left, he had his sisters with him.. that's all he was happy. He didn't even bothered to check on me. And when he came to know about Ruhi, his love for me resurfaced from some non existent thing. He came back "sirf Ruhi ke liye".
Bala: No Ishu.. he came for you both..
Ishu: Don't just fool me Anna. I know he came for Ruhi. Bhabhi told me about his reaction after seeing that pregnancy report. If he loved me he would have come long before but no he came after knowing about his baby.
Bala: Ishu tum ye baath ko kahan se kahan le jaa rahe ho..
Ishu: I'm just telling you that I don't hold any position in his life. It's always about him, his sisters, his daughter, where am I?
Unknown to them Raman heard everything, he had come early from his office to give Ishu a surprise instead he got a shock. He couldn't take it anymore and just ran out of the house.
Bala: Okay then just divorce him. If you don't want him then why are you being tied up in this
Ishu was shocked hearing this
Bala: Ishu do you think I am a fool? I have seen you from the day you where born. I know that you love him. Then why are being stubborn.
Ishu*shouted*: Yes I still Love him. But I'm afraid. What if he breaks my heart again, last time I had Ruhi in me so I couldn't die, but if something like that happens again I will die anna. So it's better to be safe away from him.
That's when Vandu rushed into the room.
Vandu: Bala!! Ishu!!
Bala: Kya huwa Vandu?? Why are you crying??
Vandu: Bala what happened here? I saw bhai going somewhere crying.
Bala *to Ishu*: I think he heard our conversation. We should rush.
All rushed out and asked the security about him, he told then that Raman drove his car to the left side road. Soon BaNdu and Ishu followed him in Bala's car. Ishu and Vandu were crying praying for his well being. After about 15 minutes they saw his car parked near a hill. They all rushed out the car shouting his name.
Ishu saw him standing at the edge ready to jump. She ran to him and pulled him at the nick of time, and hugged him tight. So tight that even air couldn't pass between them and showered kisses all over his face murmuring,
"I'm sorry, I hurt you a lot na. But I love you, I can't live without you. Please don't go leaving me again."
Raman too hugged her tight and said: It's me who should say sorry. You went through all this because of me. I made you feel worthless, I'm sorry. Tum meri jaan ho, last time I survived because I had the responsibility of Rinki and Mihika but now I'm free, if you leave me I will die for sure.
Ishu: Raman don't speak rubbish.. let's just forget everything and start fresh.
That's when Vandu's phone rang, it was from Amma to inform that Ruhi is in Iyer House and is crying for IshRa. Soon IshRa went to Iyer House. As soon as Ruhi saw them she ran to them and hugged IshRa tight crying bitterly.
Ishu: What happened Rooh? Why are you crying? Kahin chot lagi hai kyaa??
And checked for some non-existent wounds. Ruhi was still crying.
Raman: Rooh aap papa mumma ko nahi bateyenge toh how will we know what is bothering our princess? Then how can we help you?
Ruhi: Aap dono luhi ka wish pula kaloge?? *she asked wiping her big fat tears*
Ishu: Of course.. aap pehle aapna wish batavo toh sahi..
Ruhi: Dilty boy Shlavan ne kaha Vandu athai ki tummy mein uska baby hai.. mujhe bhi baby chahiye.. aap dono laake doge.. he told bala mama put the baby in Vandu athai's tummy.. so papa you also put our baby in mumma's tummy okay..
IshRa were so embarrassed, Ishu was blushing beet red.
Raman: Kya yaar Bala.. bachon se kya kya bolthe ho yaar.. kuch censor hi nahi hai kya.. *he too was blushing*
Amma: Woh sab chodo pehle Ruhi ko answer doh..
Ishu*blushing*: Kya amma aap bhi..
Raman *whispered to Ishu*: What say madam.. meri bachi ne pehli baar mujhse kuch mangaa hai and I don't have the heart to deny her..
Ishu*whispered back*: Kya Raman.. amma appa ke saamne kya kya bol rahe ho..
Raman: Arey meine kya bola.. I just want to fulfill my baby's wish.
Ishu couldn't control her blush any more so hugged Raman hiding her face in his chest.
Bala: Ruhi chuhi your wish will be fulfilled soon.. aap ander jaake shravu ke saath kelo..
Ruhi thanked her mumma and papa and went to tell Shravu that she too will have her chotu baby soon.
IshRa and Amma appa congratulated BaNdu. At that time Mihika informed them that Rinki gave birth to a baby boy.
All are happy..
Everything ends well.. na it's just a beginning a beautiful beginning to their lives.
