Thanks a lot for the lovely response.
Part-14
Raman came back to his house after talking to Ishita. Both slept thinking of their past.
Two days passed, Ishra and Bandu admitted their children in a nice school and as there were some few days to complete all formalities and classes to start so trio children were fully enjoying. All were settling in their personal as well as professional life slowly. Neil was trying to get some information about Shabbu but till now he didn't get no useful information. Neil informed Ishra that Shabbu came back to delhi that to be permanently.
It was the first day of school for Shradiru. Their parents went to drop them together. When Ishra and Bandu were coming back from school, they stopped the car at signal. They were talking about Shradiru only when Vandu saw Shabbu in a car beside them and stopped talking. Ishita who was sitting beside her saw her shocked face and looked at that side only to get shocked followed by Bala and Raman while Shabbu were already looking at them. Ishra were looking with hatred eyes and didn't miss their scared expression. Subbu composed himself and told Shagun to control herself. Soon signal showed green light and all went from there.
Shabbu reached to their house and as they entered inside, shagun started,
Sh-Ishita aur Raman ek sath the, I think they got married. They are together. We can't win this case. We should not file this case... Subbu...
Su-Just stop it Shagun. What are you saying? Ishita and Raman can't get married. They were just together.
Sh-why? Why can't they get married?
Su-Because one week ago, I read Ishita's interview in a magazine. She was single mother. And I saw Ishita was not dressed like a married woman, I mean no sindoor, no maglasutra.
Sh-Ok fine, they are not married but they are together and you know about their strong friendship. They will win this case at any cost. I can't face them. I think we should not file this case.
Su-No, we will file the case and will win it at any cost.
SH-But if they got to know about the reason behind it...
So-Please Shagun, don't think negative. You just be quite and don't talk about that. I'm calling the lawyer.
Saying so he called lawyer and told him about filing the case immediately.
Ishra and Bandu reached their house and all went to respective houses without saying anything. They informed about the incident to all. Soon all left to their work , only their parents were at home. In evening, Ishita was wrapping her work when Raman and Neil came there. Neil informed that Shabbu filed the case and a court order sent to bhalla house and Iyer house. Trio sat there to discuss over it. They discussed for sometime, then Ishita said that there is a reason behind this case as she saw Shagun's weird expressions in morning. She could feel her scared. Raman said that he too thought like that initially but then thought he is over thinking. He asked Ishita not to get worried about that. Ishita said ok but deep inside she was still thinking of it. Trio left to their houses after discussing a few more things.
Ishra reached their homes only to get to know that seniors got the notice from court two hours ago. Ishra assured their families that they will do anything but will win this case. Raman came to Iyer house after having dinner to see Ruhi who was in Iyer house from evening. He came to adi's room as Mihika informed him that trio lids were playing in adi's room but he didn't find them. He was going back when he heard their voice from Ishita's room. He went inside only to see trio were telling Ishita about their first day while she was just lost in her thoughts. He shook his head in disbelief thinking she still thinking about that only. He called trio & asked them to go & sleep as they have to go to school next day also. Trio left, Ruhi was calling him but he said he has some work with Ishita. He entered inside slowly & went near Ishita. He called her,
R-Princess.
She came out of her thoughts hearing princess from him & saw him sitting in front of her.
I-Did you call me Princess?
R-Yes. Why? Can't I call you princess now or you are no more my princess?
I-I didn't mean that but...
R-What but?
I-Of course, I'm still your princess & you can call me that but ..but now I have a prince & you have a princess. I mean we have kids, we are not kids anymore, it's little awkward.
She said with a sweet smile.
R-That I know but what to do, you were so lost so I thought to divert your mind a little but I think I couldn't as you are still thinking that.
He said seeing her smile fading away. She didn't say anything.
R-Come on Madrassan, you are over thinking now.
I-No Raman, I'm not over thinking. When I saw them, I didn't think but later I thought of their behaviour & I could really feel it strange. I know Subbu that much, I saw him signalling something to Shagun & I can't ignore Shagun's expressions, it was showing some kind of pain...
R-Enough Ishita. First listen to yourself. You are talking about Shagun & Subbu who had hurt us so much in our past & now again they came back in our lives just to spoil our happiness & to hurt us. Still you are thinking of their pain & sadness. If they are suffering from anything then it would be their fault, why are you getting worried for them. They were happy till now in their life giving us so much pain. Me, you, our families suffered a lot because of them &...
I-But you can't change the fact that Subbu is adi's biological father & Shagun is Ruhi's biological mother. Secondly, they are together, married, well settled now & we have financial security but we are single parents. We can present our views about them in front of Judge but that will be all past & they will present their present life & last few years about which we are totally unknown. They can prove themselves as better parents for adiru. What if they are suffering from something which forced them to take this step & it can help them in this case?
She said looking at him while he was just standing looking at her. She came to him & continued taking his hand in her hand.
I-Raman, our children are our life. I can't lose my son & I think you also don't want to lose Ruhi, that's why I'm thinking of them again and again because I don't want to take any risk.
She said with teary eyes while his eyes too became moist. Both were looking at each other. Raman composed himself after few seconds & said wiping tears of both of them,
R-It was my mistake.
I-What?
R-Hmmm, I forgot that you are a true detective, Jagga Jasoos.
I-Raman..
She said & hit him lightly on his arm. Both shared a sweet smile
R-On serious note, I think you are right. We should not ignore anything about Subbu & Shagun. But don't take so much tension. I will keep a detective who will keep an eye on their each and every activity and their lawyer is already on our side so if he will find out something, he will inform us. We have few days before first court hearing, we will find it out. Okay.
I-Okay my prince.
She said giving him a salute.
R-Nautanki band kar aur so jaa. Take rest.
I-No way, I have so much work to do. Head office delhi mein shift karne ke liye itna sara kaam pending hai.
R-Same here madam. Ghar to settle ho gaya but office settle karna is not so easy.
I-But I really liked the idea.
R-Which one?
I-Bala jiju & Mihir ne hum sab siblings ke office ek hi building mein set kar diye. One building, three floors, three different business but one family. I mean it's so good. In fact, Bhvllvs & Iyers office building are not so far.
R-That's true. They did a lot for us.
I-so??
R-So what??
I-So we should also do something for them na.
R-Hmmm, that's a very good idea. First, let us end this case and all then we will do something for them too. Okay.
I-Done.
R-Now bye. Good night, sweet dreams take care.
He said giving her a side hug.
I-Good night, same to you.
Raman went to his house & got busy in his work while Ishita too got busy in her work & both slept late...
Here I'm ending this part.
Precap-First court hearing.
