Present Day

"Mai Yahan Hoon" Raman, little Ishita and Ruhi turn towards the door.

"Adi..." Raman's happiness knew no bounds when he saw his pride walking towards them.

"Mujhe pata tha aap zarur aaoge" Ishita beamed with joy.

"Adi..." Raman's happiness knew no bounds when he saw his pride walking towards them.

"Mujhe pata tha tum zarur aaoge" Ishita smiled wholeheartedly.

"Aapka pyar mujhe kheench laya" Adi said looking at Ishita.

Present Day

"Tumhara pyar mujhe kheench laya" Adi said looking at little Ishita.

"Shagun Mamma ne aane diya?" Ruhi asked inquisitively.

"Ishima kehti hain ke mai ab bada hogaya hun aur apni zindagi ke faisle khud le sakta hoon"

Flashback

"Shagun Mamma ne aane diya?" Ruhi asked inquisitively.

"Ishima kehti hain ke mai ab bada hogaya hun aur apni zindagi ke faisle khud le sakta hoon"

Raman stared on amazed that he addressed Ishita as Ishima. He looked at Ishita who smiled in return.

Present Day
Adi noticed the smile his arrival had brought on their faces but their reddened eyes conveyed that they had been crying. He looked at the wall they all had been facing when he entered and realised they were all missing Ishita.

He looked at her picture and ran a hand on it fondly
"Ishima! Aap jaisa koi nahi!"

Still facing the picture, he spoke to the trio "Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai kaise woh roz mujhse milne community centre aati thin aur mai unki insult karne ka ek bhi mouka nahi chodta tha. Kitna galath kiya maine unke sath, unko jail tak pahuncha diya. Magar Ishima to bas mamta ki devi hain, mujhpe pyar lutaathi rahin. Maine lakh koshish ki ke unki bathon me na aaon. Par Ishima ke charm se nahi bach paya"

Raman gave a proud smile "Ishita ka charm hi aisa hai. Jab tera khadoos baap hi uske charm se nahi bach paaya to tujhpe to uska asar hona hi tha" he chuckled.

Flashback

"Adi beta mere paas aao" Ishita stretched her arms. Adi walked to her and sat on her bed.

"I am happy ke aap yahan aye ho. But mai kabhi nahi chahungi ke aap apne Shagun mamma ka sath chodo. Wo jaisi bhi hain but she loves you a lot. Aap hamesha unke paas rehna but remember ke Papa loves you too. Aap apne Papa ka sath dena. Unki izzat karna. Karoge na beta" Adi nodded his head in affirmative.

Ishita signalled everyone to come closer. Ruhi kept her head on Ishita's chest, Adi lied on her shoulder, on her right was little Ishita and Raman leaned on her right arm. She embraced her family as if to cage the happiness she felt at the moment. With a peaceful smile she closed her eyes.

They lay in her embrace, silent tears running through. They wished that the world stopped then and there.
