Raman took a crying Ruhi in his arms and walk towards Ishita's house.
Ruhi got calm seeing his papa taking her to her mum...
The door of Ishita house was already opened so he put Ruhi on floor. She starts crawling to reach Ishita followed by Raman.
Ishita is in her bedroom and packing her belongings when her dupatta got stuck somewhere, she tried to pull it without looking where it is stucked and when she heard  voice of Ruhi crying. Ruhi cried because  her mum once again ignored her.
Ishita immediately took her into her arms and said sorry betu... I thought my dupatta got stuck somewhere that's why I pulled it and Ruhi also stopped crying as she understood everything told by Ishita.
She smiled after seeing Ruhi calmed when her eyes fall on Raman who is standing at the door.
R- Ishita I want to talk to you something important
I- Raman please I am leaving tomorrow and I don't want to take bad memories of us with me. So it is better we should maintain some distance.
R- he starts moving towards her naughtily and said, how much distance... He stands very close to her and said is this much distance enough
I- she become concious with the closeness and takes a step back. She said, Raman you please leave... I am not going to spend a night with you
R- got angry listening to her and said Ishita don't try my patience level. I am here to talk to you, not what your dirty mind is thinking
I- she felt guilty of her words but still  doesn't apologies because yesterday he also behaves with her like she is slut
R- calmly, take Ruhi from her arms but Ruhi started crying again saying mum... Mum while holding her dupatta tightly in her tiny fist so that his papa doesn't take her from her mum's arms. It makes Ishita shocked and Raman happy because he was intentionally taking Ruhi from Ishita's arms.
Ishita's eyes becomes moist listening to the most beautiful word from Ruhi. She doesn't know how to react when Raman said do you listen what "OUR" daughter saying to you. She called you her mum and I am very jealous because I expected to hear papa from Ruhi as her first word but she takes your name, I mean mum. Now do you understand what I wanted to talk to you.
Listening to Raman she cried and hugged Ruhi tightly and said betu... I am not your Mumma and can never be and cried bitterly making Ruhi scared and Raman confused as why she is saying this when Ruhi herself called her mum. Is it may be she doesn't love him??, this thought itself made him scared.
R- shhh... Ishita please stop crying.. you are also making Ruhi scared when ishita realised that Ruhi got scared seeing her crying
I- She said sorry to Ruhi and wiped  her tears. She said, Raman you wait in the hall, I will make Ruhi sleep.
R- hmm... And after that I want to talk to you and I don't want to hear any of your excuses and left.

Ishita makes Ruhi sleep with much difficulty as Ruhi was in a fear that Ishita will left her again. She put two pillows each sides of ruhi and left to hall to have a talk with Raman.

In Hall

I- yes Raman.. tell me what you want to talk
R- Ishita... Don't try to be innocent, you already knew what I wanted to talk
I- No I don't know what you want to talk
R- her ignorant behaviour makes him angry, he said Ruhi is calling you her mum and even now you are telling me that you don't know what I want to talk
I- I listened to her Raman... She is a kid... She will understand later
R- Fine... Tell me one thing.. do you love her??
I- yes Raman... She is such an adorable child and all loves her and I am not an exception
R- Do you love me?
I- she looks into his eyes for the first time during their this conversation. Are you out of your mind...
R- I don't want your any lecture.. just say YES or NO
I- she looked away and said NO.. I don't love you
R- But I LOVE YOU making Ishita shocked with his confession. Now, tell me again Do you love me???
I- she starts crying bitterly.
Raman came to her and take her face in his palms and said
R- your tears are enough for telling me what you feel about me but I want to know the reason behind your denial.
I- she doesn't said anything but hugged him and again starts crying.
Seeing her emotional break down, he doesn't want to stretch the topic further. He takes her into his arms and walk towards the her bedroom and make her lay beside sleeping Ruhi. He also lay beside ishita and starts patting her forehead making her calm and she slept putting her head on his chest.
(Ishita is sleeping in middle of Ruhi and Raman. Ishita is sleeping by hugging Raman and Ruhi is protected by two pillows beside her)

Raman is in deep thought that why Ishita is denying the love of Ruhi and him but Her tears are the proof of her love for them. Later, he also slept hugging Ishita with the determination of talking to her about this tomorrow.

Next Morning, In Bhalla house Toshi doesn't find Raman and Ruhi in their room making her tensed. She walks outside the house in search of them when she saw Ishita house door opened. So she thought that may be Ishita knows about their whereabouts because yesterday ruhi was crying for Ishita.

She entered into her house and called for her but she doesn't get any response. She thought to check her in the bedroom and when she reached there... She is shocked to see the view in front of her. Raman and Ishita are sleeping hugging each other like "do jism ek Jaan"

😱😱😱😱😱

Ps- Expecting a good response😝
