May be for the world he is wrong
But deep in heart he knows
There is one person who will understand him
His daughter.

Raman walked inside his daughter room with slow steps, hands stuffed in the pocket of his pants and sat beside his favourite lady, his Roohi. She was looking like an angel cooed in the spreader and sleeping hugging her soft toy. Raman wrapped his arms around Roohi little body and rested his head at the empty place of Roohi's pillow. Many times he wanted to cuddle with her, spend the lazy times with her before they got busy in their respective routines but he never got that time knowing very well Roohi always get surrounded with someone or other from his family, mostly with his mother or her mother even before when she woke up. It became habit for Roohi to find her IshiMa or Dadi next to her with the first wake up but today when he woke up usual than before he realised he changed everything for his little daughter and he need to take charge of few things, staying close to Roohi when she wakes up was first. He remain seated dangling his legs down and resting his back against headrest when a frame decorated at beside table drew his attention.

The beautiful family picture from Mihir Mihika marriage.

The cheerful faces elated him, and the memories of bitter present overshadowed by their beautiful past. The love they carried for each other was purely reflecting from the same picture making him wonder why things went wrong. They were happy with each other, setting up an example of beautiful joint families which is hard to find nowadays, a place where he and his siblings treated more like same age buddies from their parents, a place where they argue but doesn't disrespect someone, an idea home where a child will bloom with love and care and a home where everyone teases each other but at the end of the day they know how to stand for each other. But that all was a long forgone things. Time never stays same, the family which started to respect each other more after his marriage was no longer same. The addition of lies, betrays, lack of faith indeed shredded everything they had.

Raman heart ached remembering the same and he started to pat Roohi's head who stirred little in her sleep. Roohi tear striken face from last night left a heartache when he forcefully parted Roohi from her Dadu, he was badly ashamed on himself for being so cruel on his little daughter but what other option they had left? The stay at Bhalla House started to become toxic for Raman and Ishita sanity especially after Romi's marriage with Sarika, the fights became so regular between the men of the family and it was affecting the kids, Ananya was young to understand but his Roohi is enough young to see and understand the sore relation her Papa started to share with her Dadu and Chachu. Raman Ishita had worked really hard to give Roohi the environment she deserves, they fought with their own insecurities and provided her the world of comfort and love she deserves and now after seeing the situations going our of control Raman decided to leave the place before it started to affect Roohi in negative way. He knew he might upset Roohi with his rude act but he believed his little daughter might understand him sooner or later.

Roohi loves the entire family alot and Raman does not want her to live carrying the negative impression of them in her heart.

"Rooh I know shayad Papa ne aapko disappoint kiya hai but I promise Roohi Papa will try to make up for all the moments. Papa aur IshiMa aapko kabhi bhi akela feel nahi karne denge. I promise baby." (I know I have disappointed you Roohi but I promise I will try to make it up for you. Me and IshiMa would make sure not to make you feel alone.) Raman  murmured in an inaudible voice, promising himself and adjusted his tall body on her small bed more. He rested his head on his elbow remembering the last night when Roohi wasn't ready to eat anything and slept empty stomach resting her head on Ishita's lap and he decided to fix it for Roohi. Raman was about to call on intercom when he felt Roohi stirring next to him and he caressed her head with serene smile.
