Next day being Sunday, Raman was reading newspaper with his morning tea when Ruhi came out rubbing her eyes. She came and sat on his lap.
Raman - Uth gaya mera bacha
Ruhi - Hmm. Papa we will go out. You promised.
Raman - Haan. We will go. But before that you have to bath and get ready.
Ruhi - Papa hum woh aunty ko bhi leke jaye. Can we please take her with us.
Raman - Beta. She won't come with us.
Ruhi - Woh ayengi. Main abhi puch ke aati hoon.
She ran out of house while Raman looked at his mother.
Tosjiji - Let her go. Woh ladki bhalli hai badi. Woh aa jayegi wapas. You come and have your breakfast.
Ruhi ran and knocked Ishita's door. Hearing her voice she immediately opened her door.
Ishita - Ruhi bacha aao na.
She lifted her and kissed her cheeks.
Ishita - Ruhi bacha subah subah yahan.
Ruhi - Aunty aj hum bahar ja rahe hai. Ap bhi chalo na. Bahut maza ayega.
Ishita - Ruhi I have an important meeting today. You go with your mumma papa
Ruhi - Mumma
Ishita - Haan mumma and off course your dadi.
Ruhi with teary eyes- Mamma . Ruhi ki mamma nahi hai
Ishita felt sad very next moment, she wiped her tears.
Ishita - Arre itne bade bade diamonds. You are wasting. Ruhi ke paas toh papa hai. Strong papa haina.
Ruhi - Super strong
Ishita smiled - Then why are you crying. Acha Ruhi batao where are you going?
Ruhi - Amusement park
Ishita - Wahan kaun se rides hai
Ruhi forgot about her mother and continued describing about rides while Ishita was happy to divert her mind.
Later after breakfast
Raman - Ruhi chale phir
Ruhi - One min. My cap is in your wardrobe. Let me go and bring it.
Ruhi was searching her cap when few photographs fell from side drawer.
Ruhi - Yeh toh Wahi aunty hai
Toshiji came searching for her - Ruhi what are you doing.
Ruhi - Dadi yeh dekho woh aunty.
Toshiji was surprised to see the picture of the same girl next door with raman.
Raman came behind them - Maa whats taking long.
He saw those pictures in their hand.
Raman - Maa yeh
Toshiji - Beta yeh kaun
Raman - Ap bhi kya leke beth gaye. Yeh Ishita hai. Chalo ab it's getting late.
He took those pictures from their hand and kept them back. Soon they left for park.
Throughout day, though all were enjoying but toshiji and ruhi mind were still stuck in those pictures.
Later that night
Raman was making ruhi sleep but her mind was occupied in her aunty.
Ruhi - Papa woh pictures mein kaun thi.
Raman - Beta she is my friend. Maine bataya tha na. Ishita.
Ruhi - Woh apki best friend thi.
Raman smiled hearing that - Hmm
Ruhi - Toh unse jhagda nahi karte the.
Raman - No way hum toh sabse zyada ladte the. Ek baar

Raman - Madrassan where were you. Your lectures were over in morning.
Ishita - Raman mujhe tension ho rahi hai.
Raman - Tension kyu
Ishita - My exams announced. What will I do? I have not studied anything. I will surely fail.
Raman - Uske toh chances hai. Glad you finally realized medicine is not your cup of tea.
Ishita - Hello you are forgetting last time I topped in my class.
Raman - That's what I am saying this time also you will top but from bottom.
Ishita - Raman don't provoke me. You just wait. This time also I will pass with great marks. And by the way if my exams have announced that means you will also have them in 2 weeks. Padh le kuch toh. Warna tera kya hoga.
Raman - Dekhege
Ishita - Fine
She stood up leaving him smile behind her.

Raman - Ruhi you know that time also she topped. When we got our result I was second in my stream and she stood first. Still she was more happy for me then her own. Pagal ladki.
Ruhi - Papa Today I will sleep with dadi.
Raman - Okay jao. Aur unhe tang mat karna
Toshiji and Ruhi were sitting on bed tapping there finger on forehead.
Ruhi - Dadi you also thinking about that aunty.
Toshiji - Haan puttar. That girl is your papa best friend, she is Ishita.
Ruhi - Dadi Mujhe woh aunty bahut achi lagti hai
Toshiji - Mujhe bhi
They looked at each other and smiled winking.
Ruhi - Dadi Lekin hum yeh karege kaise.
Toshiji - Pehle toh unko milwana hoga.
She took a pause and spoke -Kal subah.
She tingled ruhi while she hugged her laughing.Next day it was time for the execution of plan.
Raman - Maa Give me breakfast. I m getting late. And where is Ruhi I have not seen her from morning.
Toshiji - Raman she is in room. I just gave her bath.
Raman - Aap breakfast lagao I ll get ready.
Raman entered her room and saw her trying to wear socks. He dressed her properly and took her out in his arms.
Toshiji - Ruhi ready ho gaya. Come sit Breakfast is ready.
Ruhi - Dadi main aunty ko bhi leke aati. She stays alone.
Toshiji - Ja puttar
Raman - Maa kaun hai yeh ladki.
Toshiji - Abhi aa rahi hai. Tu khud hi mil lena
Raman was waiting for Ruhi and her aunty when his phone ranged and he went inside to grab some file.
He came out and saw Ruhi entering with a girl and her eyes blindfolded.
Ishita - Ruhi Bacha I have seen your house. Then why this?
Raman went near them to have a better look at the girl.
Finally Ruhi removed her blindfold and next moment Ishita opened her eyes. Ishita Raman were standing in front of each other.
Both were looking at each other without blinking their eyes. There was a mixed emotion. On one side Raman was happy, amazed surprised while on other side Ishita was astonished shocked confused.
She looked at ruhi then at Raman.
Ruhi - Aunty yeh hai mere papa. Papa yeh hai meri aunty.
Ishita looked at ruhi - Her words were playing in her mind - Ruhi ki mumma nahi hai.
Raman - Ishita
