Raman settled in the car and told the driver to drive towards the airport. Then he called his travel agent to book his ticket for Delhi asap. Then he start remembering Arjun's words about ishita. That she truly loves him and had left everything just for him.
Raman closed his eyes and said -she loves me, she always loved me. Haan usne mujhe dhokha diya but she had some reasons for it. Woh mujhe dhokha dena chahti nahi thi. I knew it, I knew meri ishita aisi nahi ho sakti. She just can't betray me. Woh pyaar bhare lamhe, those beautiful moments of togetherness, woh sab jhooth nahi tha. She was mine and today also, she is mine. I will go to her and scold her for leaving me like this. Bahut gussa karunga uspe, but will never let her leave me again. I am coming to u, jaan. Mera intezaar karna. He said to himself and smiled.
He reached the airport and he had to wait till midnight for the flight.
He reached Delhi early morning and went to search for the school. It took him much time to find the school as it was not a big school.
He reached the school campus at 8.30 and asked for ishita from the poen but he said, no teacher of that name teaches there.
Raman got shocked hearing this and thought Arjun made him a fool again.
Raman -iska matlab woh sab jhooth tha, ki ishita mera intezaar kar rahi hai. That she loves me. What was that, Kahin mujhe bhagaane ke liye toh yeh sab nahi kiya, he was lost in thoughts when the poen asked a teacher about ishita and she said -aap Mrs bhalla ke baare mein toh nahi puch rahe??
Raman heard this and said -mrs bhalla, haan shayad wahin.
Teacher -shyam, he is asking about bhalla ma'am, who teaches PG and LKG. go and call her. She said and the poen went to call her while Raman waited impatiently for her to show up.
After ten minutes, he saw her walking in the corridor wearing a olive colour salwar suit, her hair was tied in a pony and she has applied a pinch of sindoor in her partition. She was wearing one or two bangles in her hand and the mangalsutra he made her wear. She was looking weak then before and was walking looking for the person who came to meet her.
His lips curved into smile seeing her after so long while eyes turned moist. He wiped the core of his eyes when she asked the poen. The poen signalled towards raman and her eyes travelled to raman. She got shocked seeing him while he walked to her. She too took two steps towards him while her eyes were teary and full of love for him.
Both look at each other for sometime and then she hugged him tight. She hugged him tightly and start crying bitterly. He too hugged her tight and cried having her in his arms.
Ishita -i am sorry ,I am sorry. Mujhe nahi karna chahiye tha aisa, but I was stuck. Please forgive me. I am sorry, really really sorry. Mujhe maaf kar dijiye. She was crying and saying in between. Raman was trying to say something but ishita wasn't listening to him, was just saying sorry again and again hugging him tight crying bitterly.
Raman looked around and saw all the people were looking at them.
Raman -can we talk in private?? He asked to which ishita nodded and took her to her room. She opened the door and both entered the room. Raman look around and saw there were huge pictures of their marriage on every wall.
Raman look at her and said -u have so many pics of us together, mere paas toh woh bhi nahi thi. Just think how I lived without u. He said and she look at him. They look at each other for a second and then hugged each other again.
Ishita start kissing all over his face and was just saying sorry to him again and again. At last, Raman took her lips in his and start kissing her. She wrapped her arms around him and surrendered herself to him.he grabbed her by waist and deepened the kiss.
After the long kiss, he hung his head on her shoulder and said -tum kyun nahi ruki, u should have at least talked to me. U should have trusted me.
Ishita -i am sorry, I was stuck. Main darr gayi thi. I thought what if u send all of us to jail. Naina was pregnant, I can't the risk with their child for me. Toh maine wahin kiya joh mujhe sahi lagaa. I ran away.
Raman -naina ke baare mein socha. And what about me, mere baare mein nahi socha. Yeh nahi socha that how I will live without u. Mar jaata toh, tumhare bina, he said and she closed his mouth and said -dont say like this, I am sorry, Raman. I am really sorry.
Raman -sorry se sab thik ho jayega. We have lost a year in this. Hum Ek dusre se Ek saal alag rahen. I died every second without u. U think a mere sorry can change everything.
Ishita -i know it can't. Tell me what I can do to get ur sorry. I am ready to do anything.
Raman -i don't know. I am very hurt and u have to love me alot to heal my every pain. He said making a complaining face making her smile. She cupped his face and said kissing his temple -i will, I will love u for my whole life.
Raman -and u r not allowed to leave me ever, got it. U have to be with me always.
Ishita nodded and said closing her eyes-i will stay with u forever, while tears make way down her cheek.
Raman took her hand in his and said kissing it -i love u ishita, I love u alot.
Ishita hugged him again and said -i love u too.
Raman just hugged her back closing his eyes tight, rejoicing the moment when he heard some sound. Some very low sound like someone is crying in very low voice. He look around to check who is there, while ishita went to the ball were many pillows were kept with a big blanket spread on the bed.
Raman got confused and went behind her only to get shock of his life. He look at her and asked -wat is this??
Ishita smiled and said caressing their foreheads -ur adi and ruhi. U wanted twins naa, god has given us that only. She said smiling making Raman pleasantly surprised.
Raman look at her and said -yeh hamare bachche hai??
Ishita nodded and said -mere aur aapke, hamare adi -rooh. She said looking at him while he was all blank to react.
Seeing him not reacting, she got scared and asked -what happened. Aap khush nahi hai, Kahin aapko yeh toh nahi lag raha that they r not ur kids, she said making him look at her.
Raman smiled widely and said hugging her tight -no, I don't have any doubt. I was actually shocked. I am happy, infact very happy, that god has given me so much happiness together. Mujhr sirf meri ishita nahi mili balki I became father also. He said and hugged her more tightly while she closed her eyes feeling heavenly in his arms.
He hugged for a minute but then they had to break the hug at both start crying. Ishita picked them in her arms and said -adi rooh, see kaun aaya hai. Papa aaye hai, babu ke papa aaye hau naa. Stop crying bachcha. She said and they look around like searching for raman.
Raman look at her and said -can I??
Ishita nodded and gave adi to him. Raman softly caressed his face and kissed his temple. He look at ishita and took Ruhi too in his arms in the either side.
He kissed her temple too and said -hi babies, I am papa, ur papa. He said smiling happily while ishita was just smiling. Raman just hugged both his kids close to his heart and tears of happiness rolled down his cheek.
Ishita was looking at them feeling at peace finally seeing their kids with raman when Raman called her to himself. She went to him and he hugged her tight too completing his little family.
Raman -when u got to know about this??
Ishita-after twenty five days of our marriage.
Raman -dont u wanted to share the news with me??
Ishita -i wanted too, but himmat nahi thi.
Raman -u left everyone??
Ishita -i want to live alone with my kids and ur memories.
Raman -atleast u have our kids, mere paas toh woh bhi nahi the. They r just so small naa, he said caressing their little munchkins.
Ishita smiled and said -they r three months old, chote hi hai.
Raman -how u r managing everything alone??
Ishita -ho jaata tha, they use to sleep while I go to work. Beech beech mein check kar leti thi. That's why I preferred this school.
Raman -u could have told me once, u could have called me once. He said making her look down in guilt.
Raman hugged her tightly and said -koi nahi, we can't bring the lost time back but can live happily after. Ghar chalo.
Ishita look at him and said -aap mujhe wapas le jayenge??
Raman -toh, what u want. Main tumhe phir jaane doon. I can't, I love u alot .
Ishita -maine itni badi galti ki, aap phir bhi mujhe maaf kar denge.
Raman nodded and just kissed her temple while she hide into his chest.
Raman -u went through so much alone, phir bhi hamare bachchon ko janam diya, u keep them safe. It's more then u can do alone. Mujhe tumse koi shikwa nahi, but Ek request hai. Phir kabhi aisa mat karna, I can't the pain anymore.
Ishita hugged him tight and said -kabhi nahi, I will never leave u coz I can't live without u. I love u alot.
Soon they were going to bhalla mansion. Raman was holding their babies, happily rocking them while ishita was scared thinking toshiji's reaction.
Raman was busy in kissing the babies again and again not getting enough of them when his eyes fell on ishita, who was looking very disturbed. He went close to her and said -what happened??
Ishita look at him and said -mummy ji??
Raman -haan, she is very angry. But unka gussa bhi toh galat nahi.
Ishita -i know, Kahin woh mujhe ghar se nikaal toh nahi dengi naa.
Raman -nahi, I know she is angry, but she loves me alot. Woh tumhe maaf kar dengi. Aur ab toh, yeh dono bhi hai. Maa ka dil phiglaane ke liye, naa Ruhi naa adi. He said to which both the babies smiled.
Raman -tum pareshan mat ho, maa will be good. She will surely accept u. He said making ishita a bit relaxed.
Soon they reached home, Raman went inside smiling and Toshiji was shocked seeing him like this. She walked to him and he moved a bit. Toshiji saw ishita and got angry. She start shouting on ishita giving her all kind of curses.
Toshiji -tu chali jaa mere ghar se, I don't want to see ur face. Dhokebaaz, itna sab kuch karne ke baad bhi yahan aa gayi. Aur raman tu bhi isse utha laaya. Tu bhool gaya iska dhokha.
Raman -mujhe sab yaad hai, maa. But I love her, nahi jee paaunga uske begair.
Toshiji -arey she must be fooling u like before. Phir bhaag jayegi tujhe chod kar.
Ishita -nahi mummy ji, please mujhe ek baar maaf kar dijiye. Main raman se bahut pyaar karti hoon. She said and Toshiji start cursing her again.
Raman -maa, please suno naa. Main ishita se bahut pyaar karta hoon, please usse mere liye maaf kar do. Please.
Toshiji -par puttar, teri saari takleef bhool kar, how can I forgive her.
Raman -mujhe pata hai, ishita ne bahut badi galti ki hai. But she went through much alone.she was pregnant with my child, chahti toh abort karke apni zindagi mein aage badh sakti thi, but she kept our baby. Usne naa sirf unhe akele janam diya balki, unhe akele paal rahi thi. She didn't come to us for money. Was living a miserable life alone. Woh mujhse bahut pyaar karti hai aur main bhi karta hoon, please accept her. He said making toshiji shocked.
Toshiji -bachcha??
Raman -haan maa, Main papa ban gaya aur aap dadi.he said and went out and brought both the kids who were with the helps.
Toshiji look at the kids and said -yeh dono tere bachche hai??
Raman nodded happily.
Toshiji -koi trap toh nahi hai??
Raman -no maa, I trust her. These r my babies only. Ishita meri hai ,sirf meri. He said pulling ishita closer and wrapping her in his arms. Ishita was looking down in guilt while Toshiji was just caressing their little bundles of joy.
Toshiji went to ishita and said -tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karti, but my son loves u alot. Aur agar tune inn bachchon ko akele sambhala hai, toh sach bahut bada kaam kiya hai. Main tujhe maar karti hoon. She said making ishita look at her.
Ishita -sach mummy ji.
Toshiji -haan, but only for my puttar and ur kids too. But vaada kar kabhi dobara dhokha nahi degi.
Ishita nodded in yes and bend to touch toshiji's feet. Toshiji caressed her head and said -mere puttar ne bahut dukh saha hai tere dhokhe ki wajah se. Now it's ur responsibility to keep him happy.
Ishita nodded and said -ji mummy ji. Main aapko, Raman ko aur sabko bahut khush rakhungi. Kyunki Aap sab ko khushi mein hi meri khushi hai.
Toshiji -jeeti reh puttar.
Raman -lets go inside.
Toshiji -wait, first let me welcome my bahu and my babies. She said and went inside happily giving the kids to Raman.
Ishra stood on the door holding adiru in their arms looking at each other. Toshiji came with the aarti thaal and did their aarti. She put tika on their foreheads and welcomed them inside. Raman hold ishita's hand tight and step inside happily, as their life full of happiness and togetherness has just started.
