Another RuMan OS...Papa's princess
Part 2
Raman woke suddenly to find himself in the same position as he was last night when he came to see Ishita. He didn't realise when his eyes had closed and he fell asleep. He was still in his office clothes, Ishita was fast asleep but seemed to have a peaceful look on her face. She had her arms around him and face on his chest. Raman carefully moved out of her embrace and slipped out of the bed.
It was 7am, Ishita would normally be up and about getting Ruhi ready for school, but as Ruhi was not around Raman thought let her lie in, she will only get sad if she wakes now. Adi was at his football camp so she didn't need to get him ready either.
He freshened up and changed into a new outfit for the day ahead.
In the dining area, Mummy Ji and Papaji were having breakfast, Raman came down and sat with them.
Mummy Ji - "Are Puttar tu bada jaldi uthgaya aaj? Ishita kaisee hain?"
Raman - "Ma, Ishita teek hain, so rahee hain. Maine socha usko so ne dun"
Papaji -"Yeh sahee hain, usko so ne do, usko aram ki zaroorat hain"
Mummy Ji - "Tu breakfast me kiya logi?"
Raman - "Kuch nahi Ma, main Mihir ya jaraha hoon, wahi breakfast karungi Ruhi ki saat"
Mummy Ji - "Tu Ruhi se milne jaraha hain? Usse hamari taraf se bahot sarey chuma dena"
Raman - "I am not sure she will speak to me, let alone let me hug or kiss her. But I will not give up until she talks me. Main bhi uski tara ziddi hun, akhir baap hoon uska!"
Raman grabs his phone and keys and goes out the door.
Mummy Ji "Bhalla Ji, hamari Ruhi kab ghar wapas ayegee? Hume use intne din beghair reh nay pati"
Papaji - "Oh Toshi Ji, tum chinta na kar, Raman ne sab kuch jald se jald theek karenge, tum dekh lena"
Raman arrives at Mihir's place, he knocks on the door and Rinki answers.
Rinki - "Are Bhai app?"
Raman - "Teri shaadi hogayi or tu humay bhul gayi? Undar nahi bhulaogi?"
Rinki - "Of course Bhai, come in, are Mihir look who's here.."
Raman walks in hoping that Shagun isn't around, he is not in the mood for facing her right now.
Mihir - "Good Morning, Bhai, aaj subah subah humay yaad kiya?"
Raman - "Ruhi se milne aiya...Shagun ghar par hain kiya?"
Mihir - "Nahi, you just missed her, some morning breakfast date with her girlfriends or something...she asked me to take Ruhi to school"
Raman - "Thank goodness for that, wasn't in the mood for dealing with Shagun and her nonsense this morning, Ruhi kahan hain?"
Rinki - "She's just waking up, I was about to go and wake her and help her get ready for school"
Raman - "It's ok Rinki, I'll go and do that, tu breakfast ready kar, main aur meri beti ek saat kahengi"
Raman rushes to the room Ruhi is staying in, as he stands by the door and sees his little princess face down fast asleep. Raman stands watching her for a while and smiles.
Mihir comes and pats him on the shoulder.
Raman - "Thanks yaar for having Ruhi stay here, it is such a relief. Sorry you have to have Shagun here too"
Mihir -"Please don't thank me, I am glad I am able to help in this unbelievable situation. Shagun is so selfish, she doesn't even realise you are behind her being here"
Raman hugs Mihir and then walks into the room.
He is thinking what do I say, how do I calm my little princess's anger...
Raman - "Aree mera princess abhi so rahin hain...utho Ruhi beta, school nahin jaana kiya?"
Ruhi still half asleep says "Five more minutes papa, pleeeaassseee?"
Raman smiles and sits beside her, gently strokes the back of her head.
Raman - "If you stay in bed any longer there won't be any aloo paranthas left for you as Papa will eat them all. So you better wake up quick"
Ruhi gets up with a start and says "That's not fair papa, you know aloo paranthas are my favourite! Ok, ok I am up now"
Raman smiles and pulls her into a bear hug. Ruhi is enjoying being close to her papa but then suddenly remembers where she is and pulls away.
Ruhi - "Papa, aap yahan kiya kar rahee hain. Main apse nahin baat karongi, aap jaye yahan se" she looks away with her arms folded.
Raman turns her towards him and holds her face in his hands.
Raman - "Aap mujse naraaz hain main jhanta hoon. Par papa apko bahot miss kiya to aana para"
Ruhi was still looking down with her arms folded.
Raman - "Papa Ruhi ki kiss or hugs bahot miss kiya."
Raman holds Ruhi hands and brings them to his face "Maine daari bi nahi rakha as I know my Ruhi likes me soft soft"
Raman hasn't shaved in many days, so has a full face of a beard. He rubs Ruhi's hands on his face.
Ruhi - "Haw Papa, aap ne jhoot bola. Aap ko daari to bahot hain"
She looks up at him and wags her finger at him
Ruhi - "Jhoot bolna achi baat nahin hain, Papa."
Raman - "Meri Ruhi nahin hain to main meri daari kyun shave karun? Or koyee mujhe kiss nahin dehti"
Ruhi - "Ishimaa kiss nahin dehti apko?"
Raman shakes his head.
Ruhi kisses both his cheeks and makes a face "Aapki daadi chubti hain, bahot bara beard hogaya. Aap abhi shave karna hoga. Main meri papa ko soft soft cheeks chayein"
She gets off the bed and drags him to Mihir Chachu's bathroom.
Ruhi - "Mihir Chachu ki shaving kit use karo Papa. Main brush karke aati hoon"
Ruhi runs off leaving Raman with a huge grin on his bearded face.
When Ruhi returns, Raman has shaved and grabs Ruhi in his arms.
Raman - "Ab kiss milega?"
Ruhi kisses both cheeks and smiles, "All nice and soft soft, ab Ishima bi apko kiss karenga!"
Ruhi realises what she said, she remembers that she is upset with her Ishima, she is about to jump out of Raman's arms but then Rinki comes and says "Aap dono yaha hain, wahan Mihir sab paranthas katam kardengi, you better hurry otherwise there will be none left!"
Ruhi - "Oh no Papa, jaldi chalon, Chachu ne humare liyen nahin rakhenge!"
Raman - "Yes, yes let's go, I am so hungry I could eat 100 paranthas!"
Raman carries Ruhi into the dining area and sits her down. He sits beside her and Rinki serves them both.
Mihir - " Ab to main koi paranthas nahi paungi. Ruhi or Bhai to sab kane wale hain"
Rinki comes and sits beside Mihir "Tum to bahot ka chuki ho, tumari pet bhar chuka hain! Or anyways you should take care of what you eat, tumari waist kuch zyada bar chuka haina Bhai?"
Raman - "Oh no, no don't bring in this husband wife discussion, come on Ruhi lets eat"
Rinki smiles and side hugs Mihir "Just kidding, you carry on, I'll go and get some more paranthas"
Raman looks at Ruhi and winks, she laughs and says "Rinki Bua or Mihir Chachu kitne cute hain, aap or Ishima ki tara fight karte hain or pyar karte hain!"
Raman - "Ruhi beta, tumhe Ishima se baat karogi?"
Ruhi stops eating "Main Ishima, apse, sabse kaati hoon. Main baat nahin karungi kisi se"
Raman - "Aap to humse baat kar rahi hain, toh Ishima se aise baat karogi na. Woh bahot sad hain apke bina. Aap baat karogi to unko acha lagega"
Ruhi looks at her papa and can see his pleading eyes.
Mihir - "Ruhi beta, tumhe yaad hain when you had a fight with your friend Priya at school about Raj. You fought because Raj wasn't playing with you anymore and only with Priya so you weren't talking to Priya. Then in class the teacher put you three together to work on a project and you had to talk to Priya although you were mad at her. If you didn't you would all lose marks and fail the class. So you put aside your problems with Priya and worked really hard and got the best marks in the class. Later Priya told you that she was sorry and you were friends again"
Ruhi - "But Chachu that's not the same, Ishimaa ne mujhe chor diya Shagun Mamma ke pass, who mujhe pyaar nahin karti. Woh sirf Adi Bhaiya ko pyar karti..." Ruhi starts to cry and runs away to her room.
Raman - "Maine kaisey samjao Ruhi ko, ki Ishita yeh decision kisliye Iiya."
Mihir - "You can't Bhai, you have to give her time. She will talk to Bhabi when she is ready. For now let her be."
Raman - "You are right, I need to give her time. I'll take her to school now"
Mihir - "You sure she will go with you Bhai?"
Raman - "Main meri beti ko kaisey mannaun mein achi tara jaanti hoon, just follow my lead"
Raman goes near Ruhi's room and says "Hey Mihir, maine kaisey bhool gaya ki aaj Papaji or MummyJi ki anniversary hain, meri samaj nahin araha hain main kiya gift dun unko, I better go and get something otherwise I will be dead! I have no idea what to get them. Ok see you later Mihir, bye Rinki."
Ruhi hears this and gets excited, she loves going shopping and she knows her papa is not good at picking gifts, she remembers the toothbrush he gave her so Ishimaa and laughs.
She runs out and grabs her papa as he is about to leave, "Are budhu papa, aap Daadu or Daada ki anniversary bhool gayi. Main apko gift lene help karungi. Mujhe app ki saat lejao shopping karne"
Raman smiles and looks at his little Princess. "Aap help karogi mujse? That's great, par ab to apko school jaana hain. Hum school ki baad chalte hain shopping, ok?"
Ruhi - "Ok, papa, let's do that. App humhe school drop karogi phir baad main pick up karke hum shopping karungi. Let's go.."
Ruhi grabs her school bag and pulls her papa towards the door.
Ruhi - "Bye Chachu, bye Bua. Papa le jayenge hume school, ok?"
Raman smiles and walks out with Ruhi holding his hand in hers.
He looks at Mihir and says "I told you I will take her school na?"
Mihir smiles and says "You always do what you say will Bhai, that's why you are Raman Kumar Bhalla"
Raman drops Ruhi at school. "Ok beta, I will see you after school for our shopping trip. Main Shagun Mumma ko bhol dungi. See you later sweetheart"
Ruhi runs into school waving to her papa, she is excited about their shopping trip later. Raman drives off also anticipating the shopping trip with his little princess.
