Giving it a chance...

"Kya hai iss mein Raman?"

"Khud hi khol ke dekh lo!"

Raman had handed it over to Ishu! He knew this would be a "gift" she would cherish for life!

"Meri ek puraani dost hai, Chinki, US mein bahut badi gynecologist hai. Inching closer to Ishu, and taking her in a side hug, Raman broke the news!

"Jaanti ho uss ne kya kaha? ... ke chances hain... ke tum Maa ban sakti ho! Chances kam hain, lekin hain!"

Ishu who by now was overwhelmed with emotions, composed herself and managed to say

"Lekin Raman mein pehle hi Maa hoon; Ruhi ki!

Knowing very well were it was leading, Raman chipped in!

"Jaanta hoon. Aur tum sab se aachi Maa ho. Lekin mein chahta tha ke tum khud mehsoos karo ke Maa bana kya hota hai. Aur ab jab zindagi hume yeh mauka de rahi hai toh..."

"Raman iss "baanjh" shabd se bahut taane mile hain mujhe! Lekin ab meri life mein ho aap... HUMAARI beti Ruhi... You complete me Raman aur isse badh ke, mujhe, aur kuch nahi chaiye!! You complete me Raman!!"

Whilst Ishu cried in joy; Raman felt proud!
