Soon Ishra were in flight along with their three kids and mihir. Adiru were sitting with mihir enjoying their togetherness, Ruhi was talking happily telling adi about her school while adi was happily listening to her. Mihir was very happy seeing Ruhi so happy after long.
Ishra were sitting together, ishita was resting her head on Raman's shoulder while ichu was sleeping in Raman's arms hugging him tight.
Raman -why he is sleeping so much. He is fine naa.
Ishita -yes he is fine, it's his habit to sleep in flights. Last time when I came to India, he was sleeping all the way.
Raman -u use to come to India naa, kabhi mujhse milne ka mann nahi kiya.
Ishita-bahut karta tha, I use to die to meet u but himmat hi nahi hoti thi. Lagta tha ki agar aapne ichu ko dekha aur puch liya that who is his father toh main kya karungi. The mere thought that u may mistrust me, broke me from inside. U know raman, amma appa always mistrusted me for ichu ,and I bear that pain. But the mere thought ki aap mujh par vishwas nahi karenge mujhe ander tak tod deta tha, Maine aapki aankhon mein apne liye gussa dekha tha par nafrat dekhne ki himmat nahi thi, that's why I never tried to meet u.
Raman -i know it was my fault that u were so insecure, but trust me jaan I was equally empty without u. I was dying without u. I am very thankful to matarani that he planned this trip for me. Iss trip ne mujhe meri zindagi wapas kar di. Never ever I have thought in my life that I will return to India with u and our three kids. Kabhi nahi socha tha ki mera chota saa bachcha meri god mein iss tarah sukoon se soyega and I will be just smiling caressing his curly hair. Thank u jaan, thank u so much to give life to him even after so much struggle. He said pecking ichu's hair.
Ishita-why u r thinking me raman, he is our baby. Main kabhi usse maar nahi sakti thi. U can't even think how happy I was, when I got to know about my pregnancy. It was magical, I want to dance in happiness. Want to hug u tight and tell u that, u r going to be father again. A part of u is breathing inside me, but then those accusations ruined everything. I was shattered aur saare sapne hi tut gaye. Appa told me to abort our baby and when I didn't listen to them, they just leave me alone.
Raman -u never tried to tell them the truth.
Ishita-i tried Raman, trust me tried. But they were so angry that I couldn't tell them anything, bas ek ho ratt, abort the baby.i couldnt abort my baby, so they left me alone.
Raman wrapped his arms around her and said-really sorry jaan, u had to suffer alot because of me.
Ishita-its OK Raman, I am happy that finally we r together with our kids. She was saying when something strike her mind and said-raman, humne appa ko nahi bataya. We should have atleast tell him.
Raman -no ishita, they don't deserve to know anything. Jab unn logon ne aaj tak tumhari fikar nahi ki then why we inform them anything now. And u too stop thinking about them. Pehle ghar pahunch jaaye then we will decide, if we have to invite them to our wedding or not.
Ishita tried to say something when Raman said-u rest, tumne bahut kaam kiya hai akele, now u should rest ishita, I am here to take care of everything. OK.
Ishita just nodded and rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Soon she slept comfortably snuggling into him. Raman pecked her forehead and looked at adiru, only to find them sleeping too. Raman looked at his family and smiled fully and then close his eyes to take a nap.
Soon they landed in India, adi was too happy looking around while ishita was getting emotional seeing around and hide herself in raman. Raman was picking ichu in his arms while adiru were walking holding mihir's hand .
Raman -kya hua, Itni emotional kyun ho rahi ho.
Ishita-kabhi socha nahi tha, ki iss tarah India aaungi, having u beside me and ichu in ur arms, it's like a dream come true, infact aisa toh sapna bhi dekhne ki himmat nahi thi, it was just unexpected.
Raman -but now it's reality. Now we r together for always. So stop being emotional here only, kyunki abhi aise kai mauke milenge emotional hone ke. He said and took everyone out.
His driver came to pick them. Raman made everyone sat in the car.
Mihir-bhai, aap jao. Main bhi ghar chalta hoon. Will come to meet u all in the evening.
Raman -ok, chal drop kar deta hoon.
Mihir-no worries bhai, I will take cab.
Raman -arey why cab, I am dropping u naa.
Mihir-arey bhai, aunty ji is dying to meet u all. Mera ghar opposite direction mein hai, why to delay, aap jao, I will manage. Bachche bhi thake hue hai, they too need to freshen up.
Raman -ok as u say, he said and hugged mihir. Mihir too hugged him back and then both went to their respective way.
Raman got settled in the car and driver start driving, kids were enjoying the view while ishita was recalling her old days.
Soon they reached bhalla mansion. Ishita's eyes got filled seeing her house.
Raman took her side hug and said-abhi se rone lagi, abhi toh maa se milna bacha hai, papa se milna bacha hai, save ur tears for that. He said and everyone came out of the car.
Mr and Mrs bhalla came to them, who were sitting in the garden only. Ishita went to them and touched their feet when Toshiji hugged ishita tightly and cried. Ishita too start crying bitterly in her embrace.
Toshiji and ishita hugging each other tight crying while Mr bhalla was hugging adi tight. adi cried hugging his grandpa while Mr bhalla was just showering numerous kisses on his face.
Toshiji pecked ishita's forehead and asked cupping her face-tune aane mein Itni der kyun kar di puttar, hamara ghar ekdum suna tha tere bagair.
Ishita-sorry mummy ji, agar Maine thodi himmat ki hoti toh shayad hum bahut pehle Ek hi gaye hote.
Toshiji-koi nahi puttar, der aaye durust aaye, she said and went to meet adi. She hugged adi tight and kissed his face lovingly. She was showering love on adi when her eyes goes ichu who was still in Raman's arms.
Toshiji smiled and said-bhalla ji, hamare nanhe mehmaan se toh mil le.
Mr bhalla -haan toshiji, hamara chota pota aaya hai. Saying so both went to ichu, who snuggled more into Raman seeing them coming closer.
Toshiji-aaja mere jaan ka tota, mere Raman ishita da puttar. She said taking ichu in her arms while he start crying loudly saying, papa papa and holding Raman tight making Toshiji and Mr bhalla shocked.
Toshiji-raman puttar, yeh itna ro kyun rahi hai.
Raman -maa, he don't go to strangers, kuch der ruk jaiye, let him be comfortable.
Toshiji smiled and said-koi nahi puttar, ander le aa isse. Saying so she wiped ichu's tears and said-rote nahi Raja, main dadi hoon, tumhare papa ko mumma.
Ichu looked at her and asked looking at Raman -dadi??
Raman -haan betu, dadi. Jaoge .
Ichu nodded and went slowly in toshiji's arms looking still at Raman.
