Juda Hoke Bhi Tu Mujhme Kahin Baki Hai

Part 2

There is pin-drop silence.
They stand rooted to their spot for a while looking at the board and remembering the happy moments they spent together.

Raman snaps out and tries to lighten the moment. He tries to be as cool as possible as he says, "Naam chahe... badlo na badlo... mai to... tumhe JKR... hi bulaoonga" but the overwhelming emotions make him choke in between.

In a similar tone, not intentionally, but by the intensity of the moment, replies Ishita, "Aur mai... aapko hamesha... Ravan Kumar... hi bulaoongi."

Tear drops run on their cheeks as if racing with each other to reach the finishing line. They don't bother to wipe it. It was such an emotional moment for them. The words were few but it meant a lot. They implied that come what may my love for you will never change.

Raman could not stop himself from taking her in an embrace, "I Love You Jhansi Ki Rani"

Ishita hugged him tight and said, "I Love You Too Ravan Kumar"

"To mujhe chodke math jaao na"

"Ab bahut der hogayi" she said holding him tighter. Another set of fresh tears made way from their eyes.

"Akele akele gale mil rahe ho. Mujhe bhool gaye na?" came a voice breaking them from their hug.

"Ruhi..."

"Hogaya aapka mahamilan?" asked Ruhi rolling her eyes.

"Tumhare bina hamara Mahamilan kaise ho sakta hai? Tum to hamari ROOH (SOUL) ho, jaise Ishima kehti hain" said Raman.

"Aww...i wanna hug you two" said Ruhi and ran towards them and hugged them together which brought a smile on their faces.

Raman felt the fabric of Ruhi's attire and broke the hug. He said "Ruhi tum bhi Ishima ki tarah kapdon ki thaan me? Hadd hai yaar! Saare ke saare Madrasi bangaye ho. Ab lagta hai mujhe bhi apne naam ke aage IYER laga dena padega"

"Raavan Kumar, ye kuch zyada nahi hogaya. I mean apne naam ke aage Iyer. Kuch bhi haan" said Ishita hands on hip.

"Zyadti to tum Madrasi karte ho. Ek Madrasi se kya paala pad gaya, poori ki poori toli mere sar pe naachne lagi. Tum Madrasiyon ko aur koi kaam dhanda nahi hai kya?"

"Papa! Madrasiyon ke baare me kuch math bolna ok" Ruhi warned waving a finger at him

"Ye lo JKR tumhari wakeel bhi ab shuru hogayi. Bas isi ki kami thi" Ishita and Ruhi laughed looking at each other.

"Apne daanton ke pradarshan kya kar rahi ho?"

"Papa wahi purane dialogue? Ho kya gaya hai aapki One-liners ki quality ko? Ishima ke dialogue writer ko hi hire kar lethe. Kam se kam kuch to naya sunne ko milta" they laughed again which irked Raman to the core.

"Udalo mazak jitna udana hai. Aapas me team banali aur mujhe akela kar diya" Raman said jokingly but that's when his words hit a chord in him and he repeated in a daze "Mujhe AKELA kar diya"

The laughing duo became silent and looked at Raman. The strong man RKB had turned weak today. His love for the duo standing in front of him had made him weak.

"We love you" said Ishita and Ruhi trying to comfort him.

Raman turned his back towards them and said "Pyar karnewale kabhi chod kar nahi jathe"

"Sach kaha aapne. Pyar karnewale kabhi chod kar nahi jathe. Hum paas nahi magar hamesha saath rahenge" said Ishita hugging him from back.

"Haan Papa! Jaise aaj bhi Ishima hamare sath hain" she hugged Raman too from back and the trio looked at the picture on the wall.

"We Love You and We Miss You" they said in unison.
