Ishita: I'm happy she did, if not I wouldn't have gotten Ruhi. I can't imagine Ruhi calling someone else as Mumma now, because I got so attached to her within a short period of time. Thank you so much for letting her be close to me...
Raman smiled.
Raman: If its meant to be its meant to be. That's why I think Ruhi is so close to you...
Ishita: Hmm yeah... I can forget all the bad things when I'm with her. She's like magic, and also a blessing.
Raman: Seriously saying, I've never expected someone to love my daughter so much...
Ishita: She's my daughter now too okay...
Raman: Okay okay should I bring you home? It looks like its going to rain.
Ishita: Now? But its nice out here...
Raman: Okay we make a deal, I'll bring you out for one hour every day until your leave ends. Once you start work, we'll go for a walk at night?
Ishita: Deal sealed.
Raman: Okay let me bring you in.
Raman carried Ishita and brought her into her house on the wheelchair. Raman bid bye and went off to the Bhalla house.
3 weeks later, Raman & Ishita's engagement day
The Bhallas had agreed to conduct the wedding according to South Indian rituals. It was in the evening around 7pm, where the engagement preparations were all done in the temple. The both families, including Ruhi was present in the temple. Ruhi had no idea about whatever that was happening. Ishita sat beside Raman and conducted the prayers. Ruhi was still confused. The couple got up and sat on the big sofa. Just before the ring exchanging ceremony, Ishita called Ruhi to the front.
Ishita: Ruhi, come here.
Ruhi came to the front. Ishita held her shoulder and asked.
Ishita: Do you know what's happening here now?
Ruhi: No Ishita aunty, nobody wants to tell me. They tell that you'll tell me. What is going on Ishita aunty?
Ishita: Well, I come straight to the point. You shouldn't call me Ishita aunty anymore...
Ruhi: But why? Your name is Ishita hai na? Did Paati change your name to something else?
Ruhi asked while pouting. Ishita giggled nodding her head in no.
Ishita: No... I am still Ishita... But you just won't call me aunty anymore...
Ruhi: Par kyu??
Ishita: Because... I am going to be your mumma.
Ruhi: Haww really?? Aap Papa se shaadi karogi?
Ishita: Haan, it's the engagement today...
Ruhi: Yayyy aap meri mumma banenge!!
Ishita: Haan, and I'll always be with you, morning, afternoon, evening, night.
Ruhi: Midnight?
Ishita: Haan midnight bhi...
Ruhi jumped in happiness. The others smiled seeing the strong bond between Ishita and Ruhi.
Raman: Daadi amma, can you give us the rings so we can complete the engagement?
Appa: Raman, there aren't rings for the engagement in South Indian tradition.
