Ch3.
4 months leap:
Ishita was sitting on the bed,folding some clothes when Raman entered with a plate of fruits. Raman smiled at his Jhansi ki Rani and went forward to make her eat it.
''Aiyyoo Murugan... Raman,mujhe aur nahi khana hai.. Pet bhar chuka hai.'' Ishita pleaded.
''Ekdum chup... Lecture mode pe aagayi phirse.. Chup chap khao..'' Raman scolded her,softly.
''Raavan Kumar..'' Ishita muttered.
Ishita silently ate the sliced apples which Raman brought for her. She was really happy and she considered herself very lucky because she has been blessed with an utterly caring and loving husband like Raman and such a beautiful family who treats her like their daughter. She prayed to Murugan to keep her and her family always like this.
8th month of Ishita's pregnancy:
The whole house was decoraed beautifully with fairy lights and flowers.Every single person was on their toes working for making the godh-bharai ceremony of Ishita a perfect one. Ruhi,Vandita and Mihika were in charge of getting Ishita ready,while the other family members were busy in other works.
Panditji came and asked Toshiji to bring Ishita for the rituals. Toshiji smiled and asked Mihika and Vandita to bring Ishita. Raman was the most happiest husband alive in this world,because,it is his Jhansi ki Rani's godh bharai and as Ishita waited for this day,he also waited for this day with equal eagerness.
Ishita came out dressed in a baby pink lehenga and minimal jewellery specially ordered by Raman. Ruhi came running and hugged her Ishima and praised her being beautiful. Ishita smiled and thanked her. As she went past Raman,she looked around to find Raman being congratulated by other relatives and friends for becoming a father. His happiness and big smile revealed that how much he is happy about it. This brough tears in Ishita's eyes.
Soon,the riituals started with a small pooja and all the married woman,including Amma and Mummyji and her family members blessed her and her unborn baby and gifted her with clothes,bangles and other useful things which will be needed for the baby,after its birth. As the rituals went on,some light music and dance also took place.
Romi brought Raman and Ishita at the centre and the lights dimmed.The spotlight was on them.Raman kept his hand on her waist and Ishita kept her hand on his chest and started dancing on the song played in the background.
''Zehnaseeb,Zehnaseeb,
Tujhe chahu betahsha,Zehnaseeb,
Mere kareeb,mere habeeb,
Tujhe chahu betahasha,Zehnaseeb,
Tere sanng beete har lamhe pe,
Humko naaz hai,
Tere sanng jo na beete uspe aitraaz hai,
Iss kadar hum dono ka milna ek raaz hai,
Hua ameer,dil gharib,
Tujhe chahu betahasha,Zehnaseeb,
Zehnaseeb,Zehnaseeb,
Tujhe chahu betahasha,
Zehnaseeb..''
Throughout the whole dance,their eyes were locked with each other and a smile adorned both their faces.Raman leaned forward and pecked Ishita's forehead and muttered a soft yet lovcing ''Thank You'' for giving him her love and such a beautiful gift,the gift of becoming a father. She smiled and rested her head on his wide chest,which emitted the best music of the world-his heartbeats chanting ''Ishita''.
Some days passed by and Ishita's due date of delivery neared.. The doctor explained every single person to be careful as the delivery might take place any day,any time.. All abided by the rules and took extra care of Ishita. Mummyji would always recite Ramayan and Geeta for Ishita so she remains positive and happy,while,Amma recited some Tamil shlok's for her Ishu...
In night:
Ishita started having little cramps around her waist.She thought it was a false alarm so she neglected it and went to sleep. She couldnt sleep well and was feeling thirsty.She got up carefully and went towards the kitchen to drink some water when suddenly,her labour pain started.She shouted loudly, ''Raman..''
Next minute,she was carried by Raman in the car and Mihir driving the car at a super fast speed.All the family members followed by.After a few moments,she was taken inside the labour room.Raman signed a few documents. Doctors started the procedure of Ishita's delivery.
She was in very much pain. Everybody feared for this the most.As some time went by,they heard the cries of two babies. Yes.. Ishita delivered twins. Ishita became unconscious as she was devoid of energy..
Nurse came out with the two babies wrapped in a soft,pink blankie.Raman was overjoyed. Tears fell from his eyes..His daughters are in his arms,now. He planted a gentle kiss on both their foreheads. Other family members were really very happy and thanked Babaji,Murugana nd Ganpati Bappa for accepting their wishes.. All now prayed for the safety of Ishita and the newborn babies.
