"Love has its different versions"
"I realized how much I Love you Ishima, when I saw the car approaching you.. I thought I lost everything"
"Ishima I am your daughter, only yours and you are my mother, you are not a baanjh"
"Today when I couldn't found you, I realized I can't live without you Ishita "
She was sitting on the couch of her room with a cup of coffee when the memories of some unforgettable sentences flew through her mind. The three people, who made her family, her sweet little world, a heaven on the earth. A family she has never dreamt of after the fateful incident of knowing the biggest truth of her life.
Her relation with all three of them is unique in its own way. Though with the two boys of her life , her terms had started on a very bitter note but she couldn't believe the fate that these two are the ones who are most possessive and loving towards her today.. Her relationship with her daughter has been always the give and take of love. She had always adored her as a daughter and in return her daughter has given her immense love and respect as a mother since the start. Their bond has always been invariable. But her husband and her son are the major transformation she has seen ever in her life. Be it enormous hatred or unconditional love, she has got both from them.
"Life is strange"
She muttered and took a sip..
Being a mother wasn't new for her but feeling of carrying a life inside you was indeed a special experience..Though it was for a short period and had ended soon with an ill-fated incident. It has changed a lot of things in her life but the love of her three musketeers was all the same.. How she wish she had given birth to her elder children as well but at the end of the day it did not matter for any one of them.
Her third child was an addition to her happy world.. Her miracle baby who had brought her husband even more closer to her.. They all were very excited for the new arrival.. She remembered one such incident..
*flashback*
After dinner IshRaRuDi were playing crossword in their room when suddenly the topic of the gender of baby took place..
Raman:- Whatever you say Madrasan I will have a girl child only.. Just like my ruhi..
Ishita:- Oh Please Ravan Kumar.. it is going to be a boy only..
Adi:- Off course Papa.. It is going to be a boy only and I already have a sister I want a brother now..
And he hi fived Ishita..
Ishita:- Totally right my rockstar..
Ruhi :- Oh please Adi bhaiya .. think about me.. You have a sister and even Shravu has sister.. Its only me who is left without a sister.. I want a sister with whom I can play my Barbie games..
Raman picked Ruhi up and kissed her on her cheek..
Raman:- Correct my princess.. Madrasan we will have our daughter only..
Ishita:- No we will have our son only..
And the bickering continued..
*flashback ends*
She smiles and looked at their family picture hung on the wall when a lonely tear marched towards the ground. The baby has left his memories with us and obviously the good ones and after the unfortunate bus accident she had become more special to her family...
She dint even realize when did she became so lucky..
Sometimes her Amma tells her that she and her Appa are now no more worried about her as she has got the best family. Hearing such words from a girl's mother is such a blessing..
She was in her thoughts when Adi entered with the book of mathematics..
Adi:- Ishima I just hate Maths. Formulas can be memorized but still I cannot solve the questions.. Maths is just not my thing..
She laughed..
Ishita:- I know betu.. Maths is just not my thing too.. Only your papa can help you with this..
Adi kept the book aside and lied down with his head on her lap and she started to pat his forehead..
Adi- you know what Ishima.. I am waiting for the day I get rid of this boring subject..
Ishita:- But you do have an inclination towards science no??
Adi:- Yeah that is because I want to be a doctor like you.. Dr. Aditya Bhalla son of Dr. Ishita Bhalla. Doesn't it sound awesome??
She chuckled and said
Ishita- yeah it does indeed but as your papa says I am a Dentist not a doctor..
Adi- you know what Ishima.. he does that just to tease you and annoy you.. I have gone to many places with Papa and he proudly introduce you as a Doctor.. He often says "My wife is a Doctor" "Aditya's mother is a Doctor". But you know Papa na..
She looked at him smiled..
Ishita:- I know beta.. Your papa is one of a kind..
Adi- A rare species ...
And they laughed together..
Adi:- But we know your value Ishima.. You are an angel in our lives, our guardian angel. I wonder would we all be a perfect family ever without you..
He held her palm and she caressed his forehead..
He was still lying in her lap trying to memorize some formulas.. She was looking at him rather adoring him. A child at such an age behaves so maturely when a child has gone through so much in life... Adi was the the same one.. The day he called her Ishima and accepted her as his mother, she decided to give him all the things he deserves in his life. Stability, family love, good upbringing, better values and most importantly the parental love, were the things missing from his life and she made sure he gets everything.. He is an adorable child with a heart full of love. The child has suffered a lot in his early life and she wants to erase all the bitter past from his memories and build the new and the happy ones. He was among those who would do anything for the people they love.. Earlier it was his biological mother for him and now it's his Ishima..
He looked at her and found her staring at him..
Adi:- Kya hua Ishima??
She smiled through her tears and said..
Ishita:- Nothing.. Its just that I love you so much..
He smiled. The smile she always wants on his face was finally there. He got up and hugged her..
Adi :- I love you too Ishima and I am lucky to have you as my mother..
She kissed his forehead and he smiled.
It was when Ruhi woke up who was sleeping in the same room.. She looked here and there and found her mother and brother.. She went to them to find her place on the same couch with both of them..
She smiled at the innocent kid in front of her who was struggling to fit besides her brother and her brother was teasing her by not even moving a bit..
It was adorable to see normal sibling love between her children.. She always wanted them to be like this.. Though her husband often scolded her for creating situations to start a fight but she knew it was necessary to break the lil wall of hesitation between the siblings.. She came out of thoughts with the irritated sound of Ruhi
Ruhi:- Bhaiya... you have become so fat.. even Mutthu is jealous of you.. shift na..
Adi:- First say please...
Ruhi:- Please na..
Adi:- pyaar se Roo..
She made a puppy dog face and said
Ruhi- please na Adi bhaiya.. mere pyaare bhaiya..
He smiled and shifted and there she was perfectly fitted.. He fondly placed a kiss on her head and she pecked his cheek adored by their mother..
Ishita always want to teach them to express their love and never to hide.. She knew how important it was to express love..
Ruhi looked at Ishita's hand on Adi's head and picked another hand of her and placed it on her forehead..
Ishita and Adi laughed at her innocent antics.. Ishita bent down and pecked Ruhi's head while Ruhi just smiled at her victory of getting her Ishima's love..
Ishita:- I love you Rooh..
Ruhi:- I love you the mosttt Ishima..
She said emphasizing on the 't' which made her laugh..
Ruhi was the first gem in the necklace of happiness of her life.. She is the one whose arrival changed her life upside down. The innocent love deprived kid who when got a little love from her gave her complete world in return.. She was an angel in her life who was sent by God especially for her.. She was in all sense her gift from God.. She strengthen her belief in destiny and her murugan much more.. She is her strength in all ways..
And now the next task of Ruhi was ready..
Ruhi:- Ishima TV..
Adi:- I was going to ask for that..
Ruhi:- But I did before you..
Adi:- Ishima its my WWE time..
Ruhi:- Go and watch those bull fighting in your room bhaiya.. Ishima its my Doreamon time..
They both started to shout and she looked at them and said..
Ishita:- and its getting angry time for me if you both wont stop yelling.. Bilkul papa pe gaye hain chiillane ke maamle mein..
They both stopped their rant and looked at each other with angry glare which made her chuckle..
Ishita:- Ishima Adi and Rooh can watch TV together too.. Lets watch something we all love to watch...
And they started watching Takeshi's Castle..
He was tired from the whole day at work and was heading towards his room after greeting everybody in the hall when he heard laughter from his room.. The sound was the most soothing sound of the world.. He went ahead and saw all three of them rolling and laughing looking at the idiot box .. His kids were lying in her lap and the happiness on their faces was pretty visible..
Ishita looks happy, he thought.. And the content on her face is something not to be missed... She was right.. They do not need to make extra efforts till the miracle happens again for them.. She said she was happy and she was happy being the mother of his kids because now he was a master in reading her eyes and her eyes displayed contentment..
In the mid of the laughter his daughter notices him standing and jumped out yelling on to him..
Rooh:- Papa aa gaye...
Their focus shifted and Raman picked her up in his arms and kissed her cheek..
Raman:- So meri battalion kya kar rahi hai?? Neighbors are complaining that a sound of constant rant of donkeys is coming from your house..
Adi was the first one to retort..
Adi:- Were you speaking that loud Papa??
Ishita laughed out loud and patted his son's back..
Ishita:- See Ravan Kumar you have a competitor now..
Raman:- Mera hi beta hai..
And he ran towards Adi and started to tickle him while Ruhi was jumping on the couch..
A sound came from downstairs..
Mrs Bhalla- Adi Ruhi Shravu is here to call you..
Hearing Shravu's name both ran towards the sound as if are running in a marathon..
Ishita:- Aaram se..
When the kids were gone she saw him all tired and messy yet smiling.. She smiled at him and went towards him..
She helped him taking his blazer off and to loosen his tie while he has his hands encircled on her neck..
"This man" she thought... He was the one she hated once and he is the one she breathes for today.. His eyes were laid on her face, the very same eyes she has seen hatred once were showering unconditional love now.. People believe in wonders but her life was itself a wonder..
He has supported her in every ups and downs of her life.. He has stood beside her in all the odd and even phases of life. His every day starts with the thoughts of her happiness and ends on seeing a smile on her face.. He who understands her to the core, He who loves her immensely, He who makes her feel desired, he who time to time keeps reminding her importance in his life, and how much he loves her, he who can do anything for her happiness.. He was not someone who came in her life on a white horse like a fairy tale rather he was the one who made her life a fairy tale with his love and support.. He was indeed her prince charming..
He noticed her lost in his eyes thinking something..
Raman:- Kya hua Madrasan??
His question sapped her out from her thoughts.. She just nodded and hugged him..
Ishita:- Nothing.. I love you.. And nothing matters to me more than you..
He smiled and placed a soft kiss on her head..
Raman:- why is my Madrasan so emotional today??
Ishita:- nahi to..
Raman:- Toh meri madam ko bewaqt romance kyun sujh raha hai??
She left his arms..
Ishita:- Kucch bhi.. Its my love for you not what your dirty mind is thinking???
Raman:- Oh hello.. if you don't have same thoughts why did you understood what I was thinking..
Ishita:- Coz I know my man..
Raman- And your man needs his lady..
Saying so he pulled her into a kiss, full of passion, full of assurance, full of promises, full of love..
The love indeed has its different ways and was showering on her from all sides and in all forms.. What else did she expect from life which was already close to perfect..
