Everyone was stunned seeing the after effect of the alliance brought by appa. There was a complete silence in the room, all were waiting for the other one to react as noone knows how to react seeing the hardship ishita went through in growing years of adiru. Someone pointed finger on her character too. It was a big blow for the bhallas that ishita had to bear such accusations only to loving their kids to no end.
After a long, when no one said anything just looking at the screen where appa were hugging ishrudi and all were crying, appa was going to ishita but stopped seeing Raman sliding close to ishita taking her in side hug. She hide her face in his chest while he cocooned her in himself. Appa smiled thinking now his daughter is not alone, she has a loving husband and a caring family, he was relieved that finally ishita got what she deserves.
Raman was caressing ishita's hair softly, she wasn't crying but just hiding in him trying to relax herself. She was shivering remembering that day, that moment.
After sometime, she realised all r there only. She tried to break the hug but Raman didn't let her go. He pulled her more into him and said-stay here only.
Ishita looked at mr bhalla and Toshiji, to which Toshiji said-dont feel awkward, at this moment u need him more then anything else. I know what a husband mean in time of such crisis. Everyone needs someone to cocoon them and say that everything will be fine. Tujhme bahut himmat hai ishita puttar, aur tujhse bhi jyada tere appa mein.ishita ne joh kiya woh bahut bada hai par jis tarah se iyer sahab ne tera saath diya, woh usse bhi bada hai. Don't know how we can thank iyer sahab.
Appa-why u want to say thanks to me, Maine joh bhi kiya apni beti ki liye, apni beti ki bachchon ke liye kiya and being a father, it was my responsibility to protect her but I couldn't, I brought that guy and he went accusing u, hurting u. I am sorry ishu, I am really sorry kanna.
Ishita-no appa, why u r saying this. Aapne joh kiya woh sach mein koi nahi karta,u stand by me through thick and thin but thank u nahi bolungi main aapko. Thank u bol kar aapki insult nahi karungi. U deserve only lots of love appa, no thanks. She said and hugged appa, appa pecked her temple softly.
Mr bhalla -sach mein iyer sahab. I big round of applause for you, aapne joh kiya woh karna bahut mushkil hai. U let ur daughter adopt two kids, jinka janne wala koi nahi tha, I really afraid thinking sometimes ki agar aap dono nahi hote toh kya hota adi ruhi ka. Hamare bachche shayad kisi anath ashram mein, we couldn't meet them ever.
Ishita-aise kyun bol rahe hai papa ji, what hum nahi hote toh koi aur hota, par adi rooh ke saath wahin hota joh unki kismat mein hota.
Appa-achcha ab bandh kiya jaaye yeh sab. It's too late, he said looking at the clock which shows 12.10 am.
Toshiji-no I want to see till the last, bina dekhe neend nahi aayegi ab.
Mr bhalla -yes she is right. Ab khatam karke hi chalte hai, at least I am going to see, Aap logon ko sona hai toh aap log jaa sakte hai.
Appa-nahi, tab sab saath mein chalenge. Let's watch it together. He said and raman started the video.
The house was in complete silence, ishita was sitting silently while adiru was sleeping in her lap peacefully and she was caressing their hair softly when appa came with a plate of steaming upma.
Appa-chalo khana kha lo.
Ishita looked at appa and said-mujhe bhookh nahi hai, Aap kha lijiye. She said looking away.
Appa-ok, if u don't want to eat, I won't eat anything either, saying so he went keeping the plate on the table.
Ishita felt bad at her behaviour and make adiru sleep peacefully on the pillow and then went to appa taking the plate.
She went to the hall and saw appa sitting alone. She went to him and said-achcha chaliye khate hai.
Appa-no I don't wanna eat.
Ishita hold her ear and said-sorry naa appa, apni ishu ko maaf kar do.
Appa-who am I to forgive u, tumne kai mistakes ki aaj tak, I always forgive u, but u can't forgive me once naa. Bas apne bachche utha kar chali di.kyun main kuch nahi lagta tumhara. He said with moist eyes.
Ishita too cried hearing this and said hugging him-do say like this appa, Aap hi toh meri duniya ho, Aap nahi toh main nahi. Aap please aise mat boliye, I got angry coz he told my kids orphan. Usne unhe anath kaha, boliye agar adi ruhi sun lete aur mujhse puchte ki mumma anath kya hota hai, toh main kya jawab deti unko.boliye,aap hi bataiye.
Appa-toh tumhe kya lagta ishu, sirf tumse pyaar karti ho unn dono se, I too love them. But mujhme aur tum mein Ek hi difference hai, that u love them and I love u too. Tu bhi meri bachchi hai, just like adi ruhi is ur babies. I too can't see u in pain just like u can't see them in pain. Main thak gaya hoon kanna, tujhe yun akele struggle karte hue dekh kar, tu hasti rehti hai but that doesn't mean I can't see the pain u r bearing for all of us. I just want to give u a hand who can hold u when u r about to fall. I want to give u a shoulder on which u can keep ur head and relax.
Ishita-i have u appa, I don't want anyone.
Appa-haan, main hoon, but kab tak. Someday I will die and u will be all alone.
Ishita-dont say like this appa, aapko kabhi kuch nahi hoga, she said hugging appa tight.
Appa-i know every child want ki iske parent ko kabhi kuch naa ho but aisa toh hota nahi bachche, one day I will die and u will be all alone. I just want someone whom u can hug and cry ur pain when I left this world.
Ishita -aap please aisa mat bolo. I can't live without u.
Appa-sach toh yahin hai kanna, one day I will die and u will be alone.kaise jeeyegi tu do bachchon ke saath akele. Joh duniya tujhe aaj nahi jeene deti when I am with u, woh kal tujhe kaise jeene degi. I just want to protect u. Main nahi reh sakti tere saath har samay, so I want someone who will love u, protect u just the way I do. Am I wrong. Aur Ek bahut bada sach hai ishu, jisse tu dekh kar bhi dekhna nahi chahti.
Ishita looked at him with confused eyes.
Appa-adi ruhi tere bachche nahi hai.
Ishita-dont say like this appa, they r my kids. Maine unhe paala hai.
Appa-yes I know, tune usse paala hai, but even if u give ur soul to them the fact remains the same that they r not ur kids. Agar kal ko main nahi rahi aur adi ruhi ki family mil gayi. If their family took them away from u, kabhi socha tera kya hoga.
Ishita-dont say like this appa, main rone lagungi, Aap mujhe rulana chahte ho naa.
Appa-nahi main tujhe sach batana chahta hoon. I just want u to understand that someday I will die and if adi ruhi went with their own family, tera kya hoga kanna. Tu akeli reh jayegi and for that time I want a partner for u, who can console u. Tu samajh rahi hai hai, I want u to get married for u kanna.
