Last part

Raman was still sleeping while ishita was sitting beside him,mihir has gone to drop appa. Soon mihir returned with two coffees ,he passed a cup to her and settled in couch. They were sipping their coffee in silence when mihir said " I m so sorry akka ".

Ishita looked at him with questioning eyes when mihir walked to her and spoke " I just wanted to protect you and in that process , I always hurt you . I always pulled you away from Raman thinking he is not good for you and you won't be happy with him but I can see how much you two love eachother . I m so sorry for being cause of your suffering , if I would had not rushed in sending you abroad that time then may be you two will be together till now . I m so sorry for your loss akka ".

I- don't say like this mihir ,you were just being a caring brother though sometimes your care seems like forcing me .

Ishira smiled saying so,mihir too smiled a bit and spoke " I must say Raman has changed a lot , the person I had known earlier was a bad and arrongant boy but now he is such a gentleman, a totally changed person ,who had made everything of his own . "

I- yeah ,he had changed a lot and now he us became such a loving and caring person ,a perfect son and perfect father .

M- I bet he will be a perfect husband also

I-indeed he is .

Both smiled listening to ishita and then slept. Next morning Raman opened his eyes and saw the place , then realised that he is in hospital , he looked at himself then the surroundings . He saw mihir was still sleeping in the couch , he tried to support to get up when ishita came out from the washroom and spoke seeing him " arey you are awake, how are you feeling now ".

R- ishita you here so early .?

I- so early ? I was here only .

R- you mean to say that you two were here all the night.

I- yeah , I was so scared Raman, how can you fo this. If something would had happened to you.

R- but I m ok na ,you tell tum theek to ho na .

I- I know it was because of me but I m ok , you shouldn't had endangered your life for me .

R- not you but I saved myself by saving you

He completed herself looking deep into her eyes , she glared him and spoke " don't try to change the topic by saying cheesy things ".

R- these are not cheesy but truth , after parting from you I realised that I always loved you and this distance increased my love manifolds . I so love you ishita and can do anything for you.

I- I love you too Raman and mind you, I can do anything for you .

I, no need to do such stunts as I can't see you like this , you know how much scared i was .

R- relax I m ok, tell me how ma and ishu are .

I- they were crying like anything, I send them back home ,they will be here after sometimes.

R- ishita will you promise me something.

I- what Raman.?

R- ishita will you take care of my mother and Ishu if something happens to me ever .

I-(angrily)- have you gone crazy ,aisi baatain kaun karta hai .

R- actually not ,but after yesterday incident I m very much worried for them ,they don't have anyone except me .

I- aur main .?

R- you are my life and I know you will be devastated of something happens to me but at the same time you are strong too , so tell me will you.

I- no I can't as I will prefer dying with you instead of living without you .

She said snuggling closer to him ,he smiled and embrace her in his arms ,that's when they felt mihir stirring in sleep ,both parted soon . Mihir opened his eyes and saw Raman ,he got up and asked " good to see you up ,how are you feeling now ."

R- I m good ,thanks for being with us .

M- never mind .

Soon the family too arrived, toshi started crying seekng Raman ok , he hugged his mother and consoled. He teased toshiji " ma ishu is going to tease you if you will cry in front if your granddaughter, haina ishu ,dadi looks funny while trying na ."

Ishu giggled listening to him and climbed to bed ,to he near to him . He hugged her back and she dropped lots and lots of kisses on his face . Raman greeted ishita's parents too ,they told ,its good to see him fine . Days passes, Raman was in hospital for a week,till he recovers fully ,ishira was with him all the time while mihika and toshiji was looking after the house . Today he was being discharged ,ishita and mihir was there to took him home . All welcomed them whole heartedly ,Raman rested for the day and next day he got ready to go to office.

They were having breakfast when Mr iyer said
" Raman its good to see you back, all healthy and sound "

R- it's all because of your blessings and prayers .

Mr iyer smiled and said " we are here since last ten days leaving our business and everything , so I think we should take a leave now ."

Ishra got worried listening to this as iyers had not given any decision about their relationship, they looked at eachother when Mr iyer said " Mihir has book our tickets for day after tomorrow after your marraige ".

Ishra worried face immediately lightened up ,they saw eachother and a beautiful smile crept on their face,mihika elbowed ishita teasing her , she blushed and went to kitchen while Mr iyer continued " yes Raman we are more than convinced that you can take good care of my ishita and will keep her happy ".

Raman smiled fully and spoke " thanks a lot appa, for trusting me , I promise I will never broke your trust . "

Mr iyer - since we were not present in your previous marraige so this time we want you two to get married in our presence with all rituals.We had already prepared everything, the marraige will happen in the near by temple with Tamil rituals ,is it okay .

T- its perfectly all right bhaisahab as I want them to he together ,no matter how they are getting married .

They talked some more about the marraige preparations and then Raman went to office while others went to do the left over preparations. Day after next day , Toshiji entered in Raman's room who was all ready in grooms attire, he was wearing a maroon Sherwani with golden embroidery and was looking towards the mirror. Toshiji walked to him ,he saw her and asked "ma how I m looking".

T- you are just looking like a prince .

Saying so she put a black mark behind his ear and spoke " mere puttar ki khusi ko kisi ki buri nazar na lage ".

R- where is ishu ?

T- kahaan hogi , she went with ishita as she wanted to be her . Chal puttar we must leave now .

R- ok ma .

Saying so both settled in the car and drive towards the temple where iyers were waiting for them, actually they had left early in morning for temple . Raman and toshiji reached there and theh were welcomed by mihir , he took them to the temple where the mandap was there . Raman settled beside panditji and he started enchanting mantras and called ishita . After a while ishita showed up ,she was walking with mihika on one side and ishu on other side . Raman smiled fully on her sight and admired her ,soon she reached till him and settled beside her father . Senior iyers did her kanyadaan and,little ishu did their gathbandhan then ishra took pheres around the holy fire . After that they settled beside eachother and panditji instructed Raman too put vermillion on her partition and tie mangalsutra ,he did as instructed,ishra were now again husband and wife officially. They took elders blessings , they blessed them happily while mimi's congratulated them for marraige and wished for a happy married life .

Among all ishu was the happiest one as she got to see her parents marraige and with the thought that ishita will always live with them further. All moved towards bhalla house ,toshiji welcomed them happily with aarti . Soon iyers left for Delhi as they had their flight , they called ishra to Delhi so that they can spend some nice time together. Soon they left, ishita cried hut her mother consoled her and told her to be happy in her new life . The day passed in jiffy , now it was night , toshiji take ishu with herself giving the couple their lone time . Ishita entered the room and saw Raman was standing near the window, she walked slowly to him and back hugged him . He kept his hands over and held it ,she smiled and asked leaning on him " what are you thinking ".

R- was thinking about our life .

I- what ?

R- I was so jerk , how I behaved with you , how I use to bother you and you bear everything just because you love me .

I- the past is over Raman, now we are starting our new life and I don't want to start it with bad memories,though we don't have any good one .

R- that time I didn't got chance but now before we start a fresh life ,I want to apologize for all my bad deeds . I m so sorry ishita for everything , for lying to you , for hurting you, for all your suffering and for not able to protect you . I m so sorry ishita .

She wounded her arms around him and spoke wiping his unshed tears " the bad is over now good it coming ,so we should welcome it with smiled not tears ,haina ".

He nodded and kissed her forehead ,she closed her eyes feeling his touch , he then went near to her ear and asked " do you trust me now ".

She shivered under his hot breath and nodded ,still closing her eyes . He pressed his lips on her and picked her in his arms , he placed her on the bed gently , deepening the kiss ,she too responded fully and soon they were lost in their passion world and became one ,once again .

The End
