IshRa~Shades Of Love

10b~Can't Sleep

"Raman ? Look, mom is going to dad, she's been planning to stay with him as he is always abroad for his business and rarely comes here, so then who would she leave me to? Who's the most trustworthy person who can take care of me in her absence?" she asked rolling on her bed lying on her tummy waiting for his answer. "Who is it? Who's going to take care of you in her absence?" he asked curiously and she smiled and looked down. "You, Raman , it's you who's the most trustworthy person in her eyes, you're going to care for me," she told her.

"Really?" he asked and gasped. "Yes, it's really you, now I will quote her exact words, Ishita , I am planning to live with your father, and till then there should be someone in my absence to take care of you, someone who can put up with your tantrums and someone very trustworthy, you know who’s it? He's Raman , he's the one who has taken care of you in the past one year and put up with your tantrums and now he only would take care of you like he did previously, he he," she said and Raman felt a tinge of happiness within him. "Oh, that's great, so then? When would I pick you exactly?" he asked. "Tomorrow," she answered and he smiled and cried joyful tears. "Tomorrow? Okay," he said. "By the way Raman , I can't sleep at all, it seems so uncomfortable. Why is it so? What were my sleeping habits?" she asked curiously. He smiled.

Flashback :

 "God you're such a baby, kiun roti ho itna? Mujhe toh lagta hai maine shahdi nahi ki, balkay ek bacha adopt kiya hai, aur iss shaitan bachay pe jitna gussa aata hai na utna he pyaar bhi aata hai, I have grown fond of this cute devil kid," (God you're such a baby, why do you cry so much? I don't think I ever married someone, instead I think I adopted a child, and my amount of love for this devil kid is the same as my amount of anger, I have grown fond of this cute devil kid) he said cupping her cheeks and wiped her tears. She didn't say anything, she just looked at him fondly and cupped his cheeks. "Really? Pyaar bhi aata hai?" (Really? Amount of love is also the same?) she asked softly.

 "Haan, pyaar bhi aata hai," he said and bent down and picked her in his arms while she kept gazing at his face cutely. He walked to the bed and lied her down and pulled a duvet over her. He went and lied on the other side and extended his arm towards her calling her for a cuddle. She smiled and willingly got closer to him to get engulfed in his warm cuddle. He wrapped his arms around her. She too wrapped her arm around him. "Tu milay, dil khilay, aur jeene ko kya chahiye, na ho tu udaas tere aas paas main rahoon ga zindagi bhar, saare sansaar ka pyaar maine tujhi mein paaya, tum mile, dil khilay, aur jeene ko kya chahiye," (I get you, my heart jumps with joy, what else will I want other than this? Don't you get sad, I will stay by your side forever as I got the love of the whole world by you)  he sang to her and she smiled feeling enlightened and they both slept peacefully in each other's warmth.

Fb end.

"What to say? You couldn't sleep without cuddling, you always wanted to cuddle with me and that's how you slept, like a baby," he said. "Aww, that's why, that's why I feel like this, anyways it just the matter of today, then I would come back and cuddle a lot with you," she said and he grew even more fond of her. "Yes you would come back," he said. "Okay I will take rest now," she said and the call disconnected. Just as he was about to place his phone on the dining table, he got another call from an unknown number. He picked it. "Hallo," he said. "Hallo, police station, we have got the footage of the road you stated where the accident took place, we got the clear image of the man who was driving the car by which he had hit Ishita , you will have to come to the police station to identify him," said the inspector. "Okay sir," he said and disconnected the call and rushed outside the house.
