Ishra were hugging each other tight when Raman turned and make ishita sit in his lap. He cupped her face and said-i can't tell u, how much I missed u, how much I craved for u and ur love jaan.
Ishita kissed his temple and said -i know raman, coz I was also going through same. I was also dying for u. She said and leaned on him. He smiled and took her lips in his and both started kissing each other hungrily. Raman start caressing her back while ishita slide her fingers into his hair inviting him more into herself. Both were lost in each other and was pleading each other with their raw touches. They kissed for long and finally broke the kiss in need of air.
Ishita rested her head on his chest and said -i should go now, mummy ji working alone.
Raman pecked her temple and let her go. Ishita too kissed his cheek and went downstairs while Raman went to check ichu. He entered the room and saw ichu sleeping hiding his face in the teddy. He was sobbing silently in his sleep and was telling ,papa, papa.bachao papa. Aandhera,papa bachao.
Raman sat close to him and took him in his arms. Raman hugged ichu close to his heart and start consoling him lovingly, soon ichu slept sucking Raman's shirt collar.
Raman looked at him and softly caressed his hair and then hugged him more tightly feeling guilty for his state. He pecked ichu's forehead and said -I Am sorry gudda, because of papa, u r like this. He said and tears start flowing from his eyes.
Ichu felt wetness on his hair and opened his eyes only to see Raman crying. Ichu wiped his tears and asked -kyun ro rahe ho papa.
Raman saw him looking at him with questioning eyes, he wiped his tears in a jiffy and said -kuch nahi gudda, papa ki aankh mein kuch chala gaya tha.
Ichu -aankh dikhao, ichu abhi thik kar dega. He said and start blowing air in Raman's eyes. While Raman was just looking at him, admiring him.
Ichu -thik ho gaya naa papa.
Raman nodded and hugged ichu tight while ichu smiled wholeheartedly seeing raman smiling. He pecked Raman's cheek and said -i love u papa.
Raman too pecked his hair and said -love u too mera bachcha. He said and hugged each other for sometime.
After some time Ruhi came to call them for dinner. Raman picked ichu in his arms and the trio went downstairs.
Ishita was serving everyone happily while everyone was waiting for Raman and ichu. Toshiji was telling ishita to sit and let the helps serve but she was nowhere to listen.
Ishita -kariye dijiye naa mummy ji, after long I get a chance to take care of my family. Please don't stop me .
Mr bhalla -its good puttar that u want to take care of us, but puttar u came just today and cooked the food also even toshiji's resistance and now u r serving too. Thak jayegi puttar, baith jaa.
Ishita -par papa ji, she was saying when Raman said -baith jaa madrasan, kabhi toh kisi ki sun liya kar. He said smiling making ishita glare him.
Raman -kya, tu nahi sunti kisi ki.
Ishita looked at her in laws and asked -mummy ji papa ji, main nahi sunti kya aap logon ki.
Toshiji was about to say something when Raman said -maa, apne dil par haath rakh kar khaiyega. Ishita sunti hai kya kisi ki when it comes to take care of the family.
Toshiji thought for a while and said -nahi puttar, tu tab toh nahi sunti. I was go on telling u that u go and rest but u didn't listen to me.
Raman make a, see I told u naa, face while ishita settle down to eat making a grumpy face and said -ab kisi ki care karna bhi gunaah hai, OK I will not take care of anyone. She said making everyone laugh aloud at her cute antics. Even adiru start laughing seeing ishita being a child .
Ichu too start laughing seeing all laughing and when everyone stopped he asked -kya hua tha papa, chab hach kyun rahe the.
Raman -kyunki tumhari mumma naa tumse choti babu hai, see how grumpy she is. He said and ichu again start laughing.
Ishita look at toshiji with a puppy face.
Toshiji smiled and said -khabardaar joh meri bachchi ko kisi ne pareshan kiya, sabse itna pyaar karti hai, tabhi Sab pareshan karte hai. Some days before all were craving for her, so noone dare to laugh at her. She said and Mr bhalla said -haan bhai, ishita toh hai hi hamare ghar ki jaan. Tu rakh puttar, aise hi sabka khayal rakh, jaisa tera rehne ka mann kare waise reh. It's ur house only, aur agar raman ne tujhe pareshan kiya naa, u tell me, main usse thik karunga. He said to which Raman just smiled and soon all got busy in having their dinner in between their chit chat.
Soon everyone went to their respective room. Ishita went to adiru and make them sleep while ichu was with Raman. Raman was making him write abcd and was teaching him. Ichu was writing abcd with great enthusiasm, he even learned few poems too. He was reciting the poems when ishita came in the room.
She smiled seeing the bond between the father and son. She settled on the bed and saw how they were playing together.
Ishita -ichu loves u alot naa.
Raman nodded smiling and said -me too loves him alot.
Ishita -he needs u too.
Raman -i know, thats why I am giving ample time to him.
Ishita looked at Raman and said -adi rooh too needs u.
Raman stop playing with ishita and look at her.
Ishita -i know he needs u more, aur main yeh samajh sakti hoon but Raman bachche yeh nahi samajh sakte, Ruhi needs u to take care of her like before while adi want u to take care of him coz he was also loving without u. He too don't know a father's warmth. I know ichu is special kid but ur other two kids too need u. Unn dono ko bhi aapke pyaar ko zarurat hai.
Raman -what makes u think that I don't love them, I love them equally ishita.
Ishita -I Am not telling that u don't love them. It's just u should show ur love to them also. Woh bhi kabhi bachche hi hai, they too need our love and care, though they r understanding but still we have to give equal love and attention to all of them.
Raman nodded and said -i think u r right. We should not be biased. Teeno hi hamare bachche hai, OK tomorrow I will make them ready for school while u make ichu ready.
Ishita -ichu Kahan jayega .
Raman -what do u mean by kagan jayega, school jayega. I will admit him in school.
Ishita -no raman, he will not stay there, he will cry without us. Woh bahut chota hai.
Raman -no he is not, he is four and from tomorrow he will also go to school. Ichu school jayega naa.
Ichu nodded happily while ishita was worried. Raman assure her that he will take care of him and she nodded understanding.
Soon ichu slept cuddled to raman. Ishita too cuddled in Raman and was about to sleep when Raman pulled her to him.
Ishita -raman, what u r doing, ichu hai.
Raman -and he is sleeping. So u better come to me, bekar mein mere masoom bachche ko beech mein laati ho. He said making ishita smile. They hugged each other tight and then went to another room covering ichu tight.
They had their own sweet time, both loved each other and finally came back to sleep beside ichu.
Ishita smiled at their little adventure and said -its so funny how we r romancing hiding from everyone. We r simply not getting time for each other.
Raman -its OK, yahim zindagi hoti hai. We have to steal few moments of togetherness from our tight schedule. He said and pulled her closure and soon both slept hugging each other while ichu was sleeping next to ishita.
Next morning, Ishita got up early and make tea and snacks for everyone along with tiffin for the kids. She served tea to her in laws and went to wake up the kids only to see Raman already busy in doing his work. He was buttoning adi's shirt while adi was just too happy seeing his papa helping him. Ruhi was wearing her skirt when ishita went to help her. She make ruhi wear the skirt and comb her hair too. Then ishita took both the kids for breakfast while Raman went to wake ichu up.
Ishita -aap freshen up ho jaiye, I will make him ready.
Raman -I Am giving him bath, u just make him ready.
Ishita nodded and both went to their room only to see ichu was nowhere. Both went to see ichu and saw him standing infront of his cupboard wrapping a white towel around his body, seems he has taken bath himself and was searching his cloths. Both stand at the door waiting to see what he is doing. He took out a yellow tee and wore it. Ishra got happy seeing him getting happy himself, then he took out shorts and wore it. He was not able to wear it, ishita was going inside to help him when raman stopped her and said -let him try.
Ishita stopped and after long struggle he wore the shorts and stand in front of the mirror to comb his hair. He start combing his hair just the way raman combs. Ishra were shocked to see how observant he is. He combed his hair and chuckled seeing himself in the mirror and said -papa ka gudda, ichu. He said and laughed hard closing his mouth.
Raman smiled hearing this while Ishita's eyes were moist seeing her baby growing up. They were very happy seeing the progress in ichu.
Both went inside and took ichu in their arms and kissed his cheek, he laughed hard being caught and kissed their cheeks.
Soon all were in dining table and having their breakfast, soon after the breakfast, Raman went to school taking all the kids.
Soon they reached the school and got admitted. Adi was happy seeing the school and ruhi was showing him the whole school and their class room happily. Seeing adiru settled in the class, Raman took ichu. He was also excited seeing the class but start crying the second raman got up to go. Ichu start crying bitterly holding Raman's hand. Raman picked him in his arms tryong to console ichu but he was not listening. At last class teacher told raman to take ichu home and send him the other day but Raman knows well that everything this will happen, so he sat beside ichu and told him to study while he will sit with him.
Ichu stop crying and take out the notebook. He start writing what the teacher was writing while his eyes were fixed on Raman, and he was looking at Raman from cores of his eyes and seeing him near, ichu got relaxed and indulge again in his work.
Raman was sitting beside ichu while ichu was busy in his studies. He called mihir and told he can't come today as he brought ichu to school and can't leave him alone.
Mihir assured him that he will take care of everything while Raman can enjoy being a father. they talked for sometime and then called ishita to tell him the same. Ishita got happy that Raman was giving so much time to kids.
On the other hand, toshiji went to the pandit ji and fixed Ishra marriage. Ishra marriage was fixed for next week, toshiji deliberately took a date after a week so that they can do preparations for the marriage.
Toshiji reached home and told ishita about the marriage. Ishita blushed hard hearinf about their marriage and went inside happily.
Mr bhalla called the wedding planner and make the layout. Soon the preparations got started.
When Raman reached home with adiru and ichu, he saw the preparations and was confused. He left the kids in the hall and went to toshiji to ask what is going on.
Toshiji told him about the marriage going to be held next week.
Raman -inn sab ki kya zarurat hai maa,we r already married. I know we got divorced but ek chota sa function bhi toh kiya jaa sakta hai. What is the need to do all this. He said making ishita stop on the way, who was bringing tea for Raman.
Toshiji -what do u mean by zarurat kya hai, zarurat hai, we all want to celebrate this.
Raman -but I don't want to, please stop this. He said making Ishita's eyes moist.
Toshiji -tu aisa kyun keh raha hai, tu samjhata kyun nahi puttar, u people r divorced, tujhe ishita ke saath rehna ke liye usse phir se shaadi karni hogi.
Raman -toh main karunga naa, I am not denying to marry her, woh meri biwi hai and I will marry her again to make her secured. Main bas itna keh raha hoon, ki hum shaadi dhoom dham se nahi karenge, bas court marriage kar lenge.
Toshiji -but why puttar.
Raman -kyunki main khush nahi hoon maa,i am not happy. Meri ishita meri zindagi mein wapas aa gayi hai, I should be happy but I am not happy. Main ghut raha hoon maa,mar raha hoon pal pal. Iss guilt mein ki meri galti ki saza mera bachcha paa raha hai. I did wrong with ishita, and my ichu is suffering maa. I can't be happy till he is fine. Main tab tak khush nahi ho sakta aur khushiyan nahi mana sakta jab tak mera bachcha thik nahi ho jaata. he said making ishita understand his point. Though she was sad by his decision but understanding his pain, so she decided to support him.
Toshiji -but puttar, ishita ke baare mein soch.uske bhi toh kuch armaan honge.
Raman was about to say something when they heard -I am OK with Raman's decision maa, jab tak ichu sahi nahi ho jaata hum koi khushi nahi manayenge,hum court marriage hi karenge. She said supporting raman while he thanked her for understanding him.
Raman -see maa, ishita ko bhi koi problem nahi. We will do court marriage only. He was saying when adiru and ichu came inside happily and adi said excitedly-mumma papa, Aap log phir se shaadi karenge.
Ruhi -hum bhi papa mumma ki shaadi dekhenge.
Ichu -papa dulha, mumna dulhan banegi, chundar chundar lagegi. Maza aayega, ichu naya kappa penega.he said happily making Ishra look at each other when Toshiji said -see kids r also do excited, at least for them, for their happiness ,say yes for the marriage.
Raman looked at everyone and finally Raman agreed making everyone happy.
