Ishra were hugging their kids looking at each other when they heard-mumma bhookhu.
Ishra broke the hug and saw ichu saying again-mumma bhookhu lagi hai, ichu ko bhookhu lagi hai.
Ishita-haan bachcha, mumma khana khilayegi. Abhi laayi, saying so she was going but stopped in mid and asked turning-sabko bhookh lagi ho naa, wait I am making food for everyone. Say what u all wanna eat.
Rajma-chawal, all said in unison and then look at each other.
Raman -sabko Rajma-chawal khana hai.
Ishita -ofcourse Raman, Rajma-chawal is everyone's favourite just like u, sab Aap hi ke bachche hai, pasand bilkul aapki tarah. She said smiling making Raman smile too.
Raman hugged them more into himself and said-yes, mere bachche, no actually hamare bachche, our replica.
Ishita-ok I am making Rajma-chawal, aap log fresh ho jaiye. Adi beta, make papa and Ruhi comfortable while I make food, ichu baba show papa ur room.
Adi and ichu nodded and ishita went to kitchen. She was putting Rajma to boil when she felt two little hands hugging her.
Ishita smiled and said-what happened ruhi bachcha.
Ruhi-i love u mumma, I really do. Aap gussa nahi ho naa mujhse. She said crying .
Ishita turned and sat in her knees. She wiped ruhi's tears and said-why mumma will be angry with u bachcha, aapne aisa kya kiya hai.
Ruhi-i chosed papa over u. Sorry mumma, but what to do I can't leave papa .she said crying.
Ishita pecked her temple softly and said caressing her hair-its not ur fault ruhi, aapke papa hai hi aise ki koi bhi unhe nahi chod sakta. Maine chod kar dekha hai, it's suffocating. I am not at all angry beta, u did what u should do. Waise bhi now we all r together, toh aapko hum dono mein se kisi ek ko nahi chunna hoga. She said smiling and Ruhi hugged ishita tight. She too hugged ruhi back caressing her back.
Raman who was coming to kitchen to drink water, was just standing on the door smiling at ishru reunion and regretting how he behaved like ishita. He went back without having water and got settled on ichu's bed lost in his thoughts while ichu was showing his toys happily to Raman.
Raman -(st) kitna galat kiya maine, apne bachchon ke saath, apni ishita ke saath. They all love me so much and I gave them only sorrow and sadness. But not anymore, now I will give them every happiness,will always give more preference to their happiness over mine. Ab meri zindagi ka ek hi aim hai, to give all the happiness to my family. He was thinking when ichu sat on his lap and said-ichu ke khilone dekho papa, achche hai naa.
Raman pecked his temple and said-sabse achche, just like my ichu. Ok tell me what u study, aap padhte ho naa.
Ichu nodded and went to take his bag. Raman opened his bag and start seeing his books and notebooks. Raman opened his English notebook and saw it, he has written abcd beautifully.
Raman -yeh toh bahut sundar hai, aapne likha .
Ichu nodded in yes and said-haan sab ichu ne likha, adi bhiya ne likhaya.
Raman -ok, in which school u study.
Ichu-ichu don't study in school, adi bhiya ichu ko padhate hai, ichu ko school mein darr lagta hai. Those walls will consume ichu. He said making faces.
Raman hide him in his arms and said-ab papa hai naa, no need to fear. Papa will not let anyone harm my baby.
Ichu smiled hearing this and pecked his cheek saying-ichu, papa ka babu.
Raman pecked his nose and said-yes baby, ichu is papa's babu, like ask bhiya and ruhi didi.
Ichu-yes, adi bhiya and ruhi didi,ichu loves all .he said showing his dimples.
They were talking when ishita came inside and said-chaliye khana ban gaya.
Raman nodded and picked ichu in his arms saying-chalo ichu, khana khaya jaaye. Saying so they went to the dining table. Adiru was already there, ishita served them all and said-khana khao sab koi.
Ichu -ichu ko papa khilayenge, khilayenge naa papa.
Raman -ofcourse khilayenge. Come to me bachcha. Saying so he pulled ichu's chair near his and start feeding her. Ichu clapped happily making everyone smile.
Ruhi-mumma Aap mujhe khilaoge.
Ishita nodded and start feeding her settling beside ruhi.
Raman -if Ruhi is eating with mumma, then papa will feed my adi too, come to me baby.
Adi too came closer to Raman and Raman start feeding adi and ichu while ishita was feeding ruhi, kids were too happy getting their parent's love and so was Ishra showering their love on their kids.
Soon ichu said-bas papa, ichu ka chotu petu bhar gaya.
Raman -thoda saa aur kha lo betu.
Ichu -bas papa, I am full.
Adi-i am also done papa.
Ruhi-i am also full mumma.
Ishita -sabka Ek saath ho gaya, ok go and brush ur teeth and then on bed.papa is just coming.
Kids nodded and went to their room.
Ishita-aap bhi kha lijiye Raman. U were only feeding adi and ichu, Aap khud toh kha hi nahi rahen the.aapjo bhookh nahi lagi kya.
