1st SS-Love doesn't Lessen , Infact it Deepens ch 45 pg 146 note 148 - Page 92

Morning rays woke ishita up and as she woke up hugging her dear husband and that too wid a sweet smile on his face while sleeping , she wanted to remain there as it is in his arms, protected and away from the world. She slowly sneaked out from his arms without waking him up and then moved to the window and opened it letting the fresh air in, saying to herself, " like dis fresh morning this will surely be a fresh start of our life too raman.." and smiled thinking of the right future ahead.

Hawa ke jhonke aaj mausamon se rooth gaye

Gulon ki shokhiyan jo bhanwre aake loot gaye

As she was at to go to the washroom to take a bath, out of curiosity, she opened her wardrobe to see how raman well raman had kept it but she was in for a huge but sweet surprise as she found all her saares and below it all her belonging neatly arranged as if she was living here all this while and had never left the house. The belongings which she had left behind had not been moved from their place apart from being removed and place being dusted. Whether it was her well ironed saarees, her files beneath them , her books in side cupboard or her belongings on the dressing table , all was in same position as she had left and she knew what had kept them there , it was no rocket science for her to guess that raman had kept them as it is to feel her around him ,he had actually treasured her belongings and she loved that fact.

She picked up the purple saaree which she had earlier worn on their date to hotel when raman almost confessed his feelings and went in to the bathroom to take a bath.

After a while , she stepped out of the washroom wid wet hair and looking extremely beautiful and elegant. She looked at sleeping form of her cute hubby and decided to tease him a bit and moved closer to him.

Badal rahi hai aaj zindagi ki chaal zara

Isi bahane kyun na main bhi dil ka haal zara

Sawaar loon sawaar loon

Sawaar loon haaye sawaar loon

When she was near raman , she cud not bring herself to tease him and disturb his sleep as he looked too cute while sleeping so she just mildly ruffled his hair and planted a cute kiss on his forehead and turned around to move away. Within seconds, she was pulled back by her hubby and she crash landed over him , her head on his strong chest and their faces inches away. She realized she had been fooled and her naughty husband was back in form. She said, " good morning mr bhalla." Wid a sweet smile and her hubby replied back, " good morning mrs bhalla, subah subah kahan?"

Ishita-" kahin nahi ,its morning toh bahar jaana hai , as usual."

Raman smiled naughtily and in a husky voice said, " morning toh hai but its certainly not usual day and so main soch raha tha ki aaj hum yahin rehte hain na room mein , akele ek saath, good idea nahin mr bhalla?"

Ishita just controlled her blush and said, " idea bura nahin hai par aaj nahi ho sakta, aur waise bhi akele room mein kya karenge poore din ?"

Raman was in full form and said, " kaisa sawaal kar rahi ho yaar, room mein hum wahi karenge jo sab karte hain u know , romance , romance aur thoda aur romance ..."

Ishita blushed badly now and said, " romance toh hota rahega , abhi bahar jana hai everyone must be waiting." And she tried to free herself but he tighetend his hold on her waist not letting her go and said, " kya subah subah mood kharab kar deti ho , ruko na mere saath yaar."

Ishita knew her husband wud boil now and to calm him down she said, " mr hubby aapko kya lagta hai Mujhe nahi rehna aise aapke saath? Ji nahin main bhi rehna chahti hun but u know special people and special moments deserve a special time so I thought we shld keep it for tonight, what say?"

Raman knew his madrasan was too smart but he loved this romantic wali madrasan and so he pouted like a kid and said, " ok maan li aapki baat meri wifey but dnt u think night is too late?"

Ishita-" no I promise it will be worth the wait , for now I think this wud do.." and saying this she leaned and pecked raman on his lips lightly which brought a shy smile on her face and naughty one on raman's who finally decided to let her go after much effort from ishita.

She then stood infront of the dressing table and picked up her sindoor box getting nostalgic as she wud be applying it after more than a year. Before she cud do it, raman came behind her and turned her around to face him and taking the sindoor box smiled and applied the sindoor on her forehead. Both had content smile on their faces and hugging each other they just muttred, "I LOVE U".

In the house, everybody wished ishita a very good morning and treated her as if she was a newly wedded bride and it was her first day in her sasural . no one allowed her to got to kitchen and simmi and rinki teased her endlessly. At the dining table, she was made to serve sweet kheer and verybody loved it , 2 people loving it the most being Raman and ruhi and they both complimented her wid kiss on cheeks which was openly done by ruhi but sneaked in by raman embarrassing her. Ishita noticed adi being sad and she cud see the distance between the father and son but was helpless at the moment.

That day raman had decided to not go to office and join in from next day so almost everybody was at home apart from mihir and mihika who decided to manage things at office and come back home early to spend time wid everybody. Ishita saw ishaan for first time and she cud see he had features of both romi and sarika. Youngsters had planned a party for ishra in the evening and and everyone was excited.

In the afternoon while most of the family was busy chatting , joking and catching up in the drawing room, ishita saw a silent and aloof sarika emerging from her room and going in the kitchen. She cud see she was troubled by it and she decided to get a gist of the matter.

She started helping sarika in the kitchen and it was then that sarika poured out to her abt her relation wid romi in this past one year. She told ishita, " bhabhi I am happy that I have got such a lovely family especially raman bhai,he has been like an elder brother to me always and I am glad mera beta yahan bada hoga. Romi bhi badal gaya hai , itna toh Mujhe pata hai ki who pehle wala romi nahi hai ab, who pehle se zyada mature aur responsible ho gaya hai and I have no doubt ki who ab mere aur ishan ki taraf hamesha apni responsibilities achche se poori karega par..." a lone tear escaped sarika's eyes and ishita probed her saying, " par kya sarika bolo? Koi problem hai?"

Sarika continued saying, " bhabhi its just that ki iss ek saal se pehle jo bhi mere aur romi ke beech hua , uska Mujhe chodna aur phir mera waapis aana , uss sab ki wajah se hum dono ke beech ka pyaar khatam ho gaya. Ab hum sirf ishaan ke parents hain, who romi-sarika nahi jo pyaar karte hain ek doosre se. iss sab dhokhe, dard, gusse aur regret ne hamara pyaar cheen liya bhabhi and sometimes when I think of it , I feel so sad and helpless."

Saying this sarika sobbed silently while ishita cuds fully understand her pain and longing. She cud see that romi -sarika were now standing where she and raman had stood when they had married for ruhi. At first they were also just ruhi's mom-dad and not at all ishita- raman who loved each other and it took a long time to move out from that "ruhi ke liye zone" and accept that they loved each other.

She knew romi and sarika wud have to make efforts for their relation and they also needed someone who cud guide them and help them in the process and she knew no one wud be better for this job other than her and raman so she consoled sarika saying, " sab theek hoga sarika, I promise tum dono ka pyaar khatam nahi hua hai as kahin kho gaya hai aur tum dono mil kar uss pyaar ko waapis la sakte ho aur main aur raman tumhara poora saath denge, so relax and let things progress as they are for now." She herself decided to talk to raman abt the matter later tonight in their bedroom.

precap- ishita tell raman abt problems and ishra take a decision together.😃
