He was standing near the door of the ward with a smile on his face admiring the way his family was fussing over her. He was wondering about something seriously I seriously feel my parents and sibling love her more than what they care for me, he must have been loud uttering those words as they all turned towards him, only to hear Bhai, what can we do if our Bhabhi is more lovable than you and her reaction was to die for.
Raman: Make her sit on your lap and feed her.. later on don't complain that your body is paining because of her weight.I am not paying for the doctors. She just made a perfect O shape with her mouth and he walked out smirking.
Inside the room he was way too happy to express his emotions. His lady love who was lying there on the bed close to being dead is up and smiling, the family which had forgotten to laugh from their heart are enjoying right now. All he could do was imagine her smiling face and the way she called her name the first thing when she opened her eyes after months. He even shed few happy tears savoring that moment and saw his kids looking at him keenly. He sat down to their level and asked don't you want to see your surprise and both got excited.
The kids entered the room with their father only to find the person whom they were waiting for all these months. It was not easy for them to forget her easily as she loved them to bits and had pampered them like they were the only kids. He just hoped that they smile at her knowing they can get really moody and he did not want them to be the reason for her to be upset nor he wanted his kids to cry. The kids looked at her like they were seeing someone new and also did not like the importance she was receiving from their grandparents and chachus. The look on the kids and his face made all others to exit the room so that they can share this special moment as a family. All secretly prayed that the kids did not fuss looking at her.
She was sitting on the bed with her legs stretched and her eyes speaking volumes almost shedding a tear or two and he sat next to her on the bed with both kids on his laps. It was a perfect family picture. she just stretched her hand forwards as to touch their face and they did not really react, the atmosphere was heating up inside the room and he already guessed the outcome and just hoped he was wrong. His father instincts have never been wrong since the time he had started taking care of them more.She spoke their names loud and moved forward to hold them and they turned their face and slowly started to cry. He gave her an assuring look and walked out of the room. Others also understood what would have happened.He entered the room back, leaving the kids to his parents and the kids left him not before throwing a fit.
Both were broken internally and all he could do was take her in his arms and soothe her. Images of that day came storming in front of them. It was close to fag end of march, She was getting ready in the morning, he had also come out of the bathroom after a shower and just stood looking at her face in awe. She was sitting on a stool in front of the mirror getting ready, he stood behind her, bent down and rested his chin on her shoulder and his hands encircled her hips.
Raman: He was staring at the face that was reflecting in the mirror and his eyes were only radiating the love he had for her. She just raised her eyebrows as though questioning him Looking very beautiful today and you are having the same glow on your face like you are pregnant and to tease her further his hands traveled towards her belly and asked If I am right, Are you pregnant again ?
Ishitha: She glared at him and asked do I look beautiful to you only when I am pregnant or what ? move aside Raman I don't prefer talking to you and waste my time. Otherwise also i am not pregnant and I don't have any intentions of getting pregnant ever again.
Raman: Arrey Baba, I was just joking. You always look beautiful and special to me. Don't worry about it now we will think about the baby part later and winked at her. She smacked him hard on his chest and tuned to walk out of the room. He just pulled her by her wrist and she fell on to his chest with a thud. Both their eyes met and they locked for a few minutes. He moved his thumb over her eyebrows, eyes,nose, traced her lips and cupped her face. I love you Ishitha and I can do anything for those eyes.
Ishitha: I Love you more Raman. I can even die any minute staring in to your eyes happily. That is the kind of life I am living with you. He scowled hearing about death from her mouth and left her face immediately. Sorry Raman, I am holding my ears also.
He walked away from her. She knew she has messed it up royally and did not want others to suffer the brunt of it. While he was removing his dress from his cupboard she hugged him from his back and rested her face sideways
Ishitha: I am very sorry I never meant it that way, All I meant was I am so happy with you. You don't look like my prince charming when you are angry. Please and kissed his back. He then turned towards her
Raman: Please Ishitha never ever talk like that and took her in to a tight hug only to be disturbed by a knock on the door. He opened the door to find his two little sleepy heads standing rubbing their eyes waiting to be held by either one of them.
She asked him to get ready and moved towards them. She then carried them to the bed and sat between them.Both of them kept their heads on her lap and held on to her tightly to continue their remaining sleep. While she was stroking their head, her phone started to ring waking them up from their sleep and made them cry. She hated it when they cried together and made him handle one of them. He carried Aadhya and walked out while whispering some sweet endearments in her ears who seemed to have calmed down. Aarav always loved his mother a wee bit more than his dad and loved clinging to her whenever he got the chance. She slowly calmed him down and walked out of the room along with him. After having breakfast he left for work all happy and satisfied.
She was preparing lunch today after a long time and decided to make Italian as he loves them a lot and also wanted to meet him after the small tiff in the morning.
Toshi: Ishitha, As it is you are tired why are you cooking that too all this.
Ishita: Ma, I made Raman upset this morning and thought will cook for him. I am planning to take his lunch along with the kids and surprise him.
Toshi: She smiled at her. Ishitha you know he can never be upset with you and he left for office only smiling and you also know right he is very protective about you three. He would not like you seeing him in his office with Aadhya and Aarav.
Ishitha: Yes ma, but he has always wanted to see them in his office but he has never shared it aloud. So this way it will be better. She could only smile.
The three left and she dressed herself in a nice anarkali which he loved seeing her in and drove down to his office. They reached the office in sometime, She called his office and asked them to carry the lunch to his room. She parked the car and removed the kids from the baby seat and walked along with them. She usually visits his office very rarely but the day she visits, it has been a different story all together (reveal later). Today she is coming in with his kids and none of them have seen the kids except for the pictures in his room and not all enter his room. All of them kept looking at them till they entered his cabin, only to know he was busy in some internal meeting.
He entered his cabin, discussing something with his secretary. As soon as he lifted his eyes he was way too surprised to see his life standing in front of him. He dismissed his secretary soon and locked his cabin. He carried Aadhya who loved her dad and kissed her cheeks who was very happy, teasing Aarav to be mothers Chamcha. May I know the reason for this sudden visit and you very well know I don't like the three of you in my office waiting for me. I need to first fire this secretary for not informing about all of you.
Ishitha: Raman relax, I was the one asked her not to inform you. I wanted to surprise as you were upset with me this morning. I have made your favorite food, please enjoy your lunch and the rest we can talk later please.
Both sat down on the couch side by side and she started to feed him and was loving all the attention and love. It was her phone again disturbing the scene.
Ishitha: Raman, I need to go to the hospital right away.Some emergency delivery. I am sorry but can you take the kids back home.I never expected this. please.
Raman: Why is that your phone spoils all our lovely moments and pouted. He knew her dedication and his brains started making use of the situation, I will leave you and take care of the kids till you are back only on one condition and placed a finger on her lips.
She pleaded him through her eyes but he was only side hugging his kids letting her know about his intentions. She moved forward and kissed both his cheeks. He smacked his head, How many times I have to tell you these kisses are for my angels and my requirements are different Mrs. Bhalla.
Ishitha: I will make your night special and if I start kissing you now you wil not let me go fast nor will i leave you. Understand dear.
Mrs Bhalla, nice try. I am the CEO you see and he pulled her close to her and locked her lips with his. He slowly started kissing her lips and she started responding with passion and then kept deepening the kiss. After a few minutes both jerked for breath and looked at their angels looking at them keenly.
Raman: Mrs. Bhalla your lips are swollen, better reapply your lip balm. My respect is at stake. Ahem ahem.
She laughed at his antics and bid bye to all the three and left to the hospital to carry out her duties.
Ishitha: I reached Raman, I believe you are leaving office right now and hope they are not troubling you.
Raman: Finish your work fast and come home and haan she is sitting like an angel, whereas your chamcha is biting me and spoiling my suit. RAMAN.. I was joking,both our juniors are sleeping and I am leaving my office right now. See you soon and love you. Take care.
He was waiting for her and was getting restless by the minute, only to receive a call from the hospital. Mr.Bhalla, Dr.Ishitha has fainted can you please come right now. He was there in the hospital as early as possible and saw his life struggling to breathe. The doctor informed about few clots in the brain which had to be removed right away else it could be fatal. He was numb to take any decision but went with the doctor. By then all had gathered at the hospital, waiting for the doctors.
Raman:Doctor, how is she ? Is she breathing properly ?
Doctor: Sorry Mr.Bhalla, the operation is successful but the patient has slipped in to a coma. Let's hope she is out of it properly. She is a strong lady.
Raman: Are you joking Doctor ? You are announcing like it is no big deal and you are wrong she is not strong,she is very weak. Only I know about it. She can't handle even small pains being a doctor. Mihir explain this to the doctor.
Doctor: Please understand the situation and keep talking to her about everything she loves. I am sure she will be back.
Raman: You think you are sure ? She has to be back for our kids and more than that she has to be back for me. I love her Dammit !!!!... Get that clear in your head ...
