Ishita hugged Raman from back and said -mujhe pata hai Main aapko takleef kam nahi kar sakti but can promise to stand by u in every problem, Raman. She said and kissed his back.
Raman kissed her palm and said -tum ho, tab hi toh main ladh paane ki himmat kar paa raha hoon. Warna adi -rooh ko aise dekh kar tut hi gaya tha main. I wasn't able to breath seeing my kids like this.
Ishita -i understand Raman, aapki takleef samjhti hoon main but the truth is that we have to overcome this pain to loom after our kids, they need us. She said and he turn to her. Both look at each other and Raman hugged ishita tight. He cried in her arms while she was consoling him.
Both were lost in their grief when Raman's phone rang. He saw it was chunnu's phone. He smiled and wiped his tears.he picked the phone and said -hai beta, kaise ho Aap??
Chunnu-main thik hoon papa, Aap aur mumma kaise hai??
Raman -hum thik hai.
Chunnu-adi bhaiya aur ruhi didi kaise hai.
Raman look at adiru and said -they r also fine.
Chunnu -why they called u, sab thik hai naa. Woh log aa rahe hai aapke saath.
Raman -yes ,they r fine. Dekho shayad aaye.
Chunnu got happy hearing this and said -wow kitna maza aayega. We all will live together, she said and then ask -woh log mujhe accept karenge naa, papa.
Raman -haan beta, everyone will accept u and love u. Abhi kahan ho tum??
Chunnu -mumme ke ghar mein, sab mujhe bahut pamper kar rahe hai. I am going to school on time sir sab mere pasand ka khana bana rahe hai.
Raman smiled and said -enjoying akele akele. Missing papa??
Chunnu -very much, Aap log jaldi aaiye.
Raman -very soon, we will be back very soon. U take care, saying so he hung the call.
Raman turned and look at adiru, both were sleeping peacefully. Raman couldn't help but smile.
Ishita -aap has kyun rahe hai??
Raman -yeh dono hamesha se aise hi sote hai, bachchon ki tarah muh bana kar.kitne masoom the mere bachche, I lost them. He said and ishita held his hand.
Ishita -u will get them again.
Raman -i don't want them. Mujhe nahi chahiye woh, I don't want that ruthless people as my kids. I will never forgive them.
Ishita tiptoed and pecked his temple.
Ishita -aapko unhe maaf karna hai yaa nahi, yeh aapka faisla hoga. Nobody will force u to forgive them. But abhi toh unka saath dena hoga naa. She said to which he nodded.
Ishita -khana kha lijiye.
Raman -i am not feeling hungry.
Ishita -phir bhi, u have to stay strong for them. For me.
Raman -tum toh meri taqat ho.
Ishita -aur aap meri, she said and took him to the table. She served the food and start feeding him. He too start feeding her.
After having food, they too slept in each other's arms feeling tired.
After an hour or two, nurse came to check on Ruhi. She was giving Ruhi injection when she opened her eyes feeling the pain. She got up a little with nurse help and look around. She saw adi sleeping on the couch and Ishra sleeping on other. Her eyes filled seeing her father. She get off the bed slowly and walked to ishra. She sat near Raman's leg and kept her head on his lap.
After a while, Raman got up feeling wet in his lap and saw Ruhi sitting near his leg sobbing silently.
Raman got up at once breaking Ishita's sleep too. He sat next to ruhi and said -kya hua beta, why u r crying?? Dard ho raha hai?? He asked and Ruhi hugged Raman tight crying.
Ruhi -i am sorry, papa. I am really sorry. Aapne kyun bacha mujhe, papa.maine aapke saath kitna galat kiya. Kitne gande se behave kiya. I slapped u. Apne papa ko maara, Main kitni gandi ladki hoon. I deserved all this pain. Why u saved u. I don't deserve to live.i deserve to die, papa. Why u saved me. She was saying and crying.
Raman couldn't see her crying and hugged her tight.
Raman -rote nahi, u r not strong enough to cry beta. U r not strong. Just keep calm. Sab thik ho jayega.
Ruhi -kuch thik nahi hoga papa, and I deserve that. I deserve to rot in hell for hating my papa. For giving him so much pain. Mujhe maaf kar dijiye, papa. Please forgive me. I am sorry, I am sorry, really sorry. She was saying and crying.
It became hard for raman to console Ruhi. He look at ishita for help. She nodded fearing ruhi's reaction but went to them on raman's insistence. She sat next to ruhi and slowly caressed her hair.
Ruhi turn to ishita and hugged her tight.
Ruhi -i am sorry, maine aapki bhi bahut insult ki. Please forgive me.
Ishita hugged her tight and said consoling her -chup ho jao, u r too weak.
Ruhi cried for long in Ishra embrace while both were just trying to calm her down.after long ishita got up and give her water to drink.
Ruhi had the water and raman got up. He helped Ruhi to get up and said -bhookh lagi hogi naa. Chalo khana kha lo.
Ruhi nodded and ishita served food for Ruhi. She woke up adi too and told him to join.
Adiru sat together and had food while Ishra were just sitting next to them.after having food adiru went to Raman and hugged him again apologising for their bad deeds. They were crying like babies apologising and raman was just consoling them. Ishita was just looking at them with moist eyes.
Slowly time start passing, Ishra went and file complaint against adiru's partners and the local cops to the seniors. They started the investigation and soon the brother -sister duo was behind the bars for using adiru and later illtreating them. The cops were also suspended for beating adiru leading to ruhi's miscarriage.
Slowly Ruhi was also recovering but it all require huge amount of money. All the money raman had was ended and now he was in short of money. He was calling his colleagues from India to help him in this crisis.
One day, Raman was talking to one of his friend when ishita came and give him her debit card.
Raman -yeh kya hai ??he asked looking at ishita.
Ishita -mera card hai, Aap nahi keh rahe toh Iska matlab yeh nahi ki main samajh nahi rahi. I know u r spending much more then u have, aapke paas paise khatam ho rahe hai.
Raman -arey I don't need this, Main intezaam kar raha hoon naa.
Ishita -jab mere paas paise hai, toh Aap kyun kisi aur se maang rahen hai.
Raman -yeh tumhare paise hai, ishita.
Ishita -aur main kiski hoon raman, aapki nahi hoon.
Raman -ho but, he was saying when ishita cut him and said keeping the card in his pocket -toh yeh card bhi aapka hai, hume jitne paise chahiye we will arrange. Aapko kisi se maangne ki zarurat nahi. She said looking at him smiling to which he nod and hugged ishita tight .
Raman kissed her temple and said -jin bachchon ne tumhe maa nahi mana, tumhe lalchi kaha, unke liye apna sab kuch luta de rahi ho.
Ishita kissed his cheek and said -mera sab kuch aap ho. Jin bachchon ke papa ne mujhe apna banaya hai, unke liye sab kuch luta doon toh bhi kam hai. She said smiling.
Raman-tumhare bina mera kya hota.
Ishita -wahin joh mera hota, aapke bina. I would be so alone without any love in my life.
Raman hugged her tight and said -mere hote tum bina pyaar ke aise reh sakti thi.he said and kissed her nose. Both joined their foreheads smiling while two pair of eyes were looking at them and was feeling guilty.
Ruhi look at adi and said -humne kitna galat samjha inko.
Adi -yes, we thought she is behind papa's money. But she loves him truly.
Ruhi -unko hi nahi, woh hume bhi kitna pyaar karti hai.
Adi -we should apologise to her.
Ruhi nodded and said -haan hume mumma ko sorry bolna chahiye. She said making adi look at her.
He smiled and said -haan,u r right. We should say sorry to mumma. He said and both hugged each other smiling.
