Four separate souls -- Raman, Ishita, Ruhi, and Adi -- in four separate cities; but somehow CONNECTED. How? Read to find out.... Ishita Iyer has been dreaming of a life as a dentist, wife, and mother, but destiny plays a cruel joke on her, as her dreams are shattered by her fiancé Subbu right before their engagement. She moves to Delhi with her family, searching for the remedy of her broken heart, only to find happiness in the most unexpected place. Raman Bhalla was a blessed son, brother, husband, and father, only to have his world destroyed by his wife Shagun after five long years of marriage. Cursed with a scorched soul and burned by the weakness called love, he flees from Delhi, only to find peace and joy in the very place he left behind. Disclaimer: This is my retelling of the iconic show "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein." I am a huge fan of the initial 1.5-2 years which were telecast at 11 pm. Those initial days of YHM are the inspiration for my story. I attempt to close loopholes and expand on relationships and character conflicts that were insufficiently addressed on the show (in my opinion). The characters here are all the same as in the original show. The only difference is that Simi's husband and Ananya's father is a guy named Pulkit. Both Simi and Pulkit are good people and happily married. Param is not a character in this story. If you are unfamiliar with the original characters, please refer to the family trees added with the trailer. Although the story and premise is different, I will be recreating certain tracks that could have gone better in my opinion (Ishita's infertility; custody trial of both Ruhi and Adi; Mani's entry and Raman's jealousy; Ishita's insecurities regarding Shagun; IshRa pregnancy track and Pihu's birth). Please feel free to leave comments or feedback, if you like. I hope you enjoy reading! ❤️😊 [Note: English Translations have been added in italics.]

[Editing]What would have happened if Raman and Ishita supposedly failed to get Ruhi's custody? An unsuccessful compromise marriage that breaks away as the so called "Ruhi Ke Liye" clause gets lapsed? Another divorce in Raman Kumar Bhalla's life? Another rejection in Ishita Iyer err Ishita Bhalla's list? Or is it an intermezzo to sprout love between the two...? Could they start it off as lovers...? Man and wife...? Or just parents...? Rank #3 in YehHaiMohabbatein |Aug 13, 2017| Rank #5 in YHM |Aug 13, 2017| Rank #36 in fanfiction |Dec 5, 2017|

The Ishita in my head wouldnt let me be at peace until and unless I wrote this. Dedicated to the gorgeous, flawless Divyanka Tripathi for that brilliant portrayal of a blushing, almost teenage-like Ishita realizing the change in the way she now perceives her Raavan Kumar and hoping that pretty soon he too has such a moment of awe-struck realization and wonder. *Sigh* I am falling in love with the way these two are falling for each other. Day Dreaming Once again a song inspires me - Pareshan - one of my favorites which I think would suit IshRa to the T especially because of the lines - Zara zara kaanton se lagne laga dil mera and Khare bhi meethe hai.

Author's note: This OS is genuinely courtesy of the wonderful expressions Divz has during the upcoming dance performance. Honestly she is a rock-star - Divz this one' for you. The anger, hurt, heartbreak, humiliation and near tears have taken away all the joy that she had felt for this dance which we saw on her face when she came dressed in the red gown. Ishita is deeply hurt by what Raman did last night by dancing with Shagun... I applaud KP for his brilliant dance with Anita last night - they were amazing. Though I cant say the same about Raman - that is no way to shut up your ex seriously. He needs to do more than just say sorry to Ishita - its not exactly important he humiliate Shagun every chance he gets - even publicly, but it is important he take note and considers Ishita' feelings now that she is his wife. Shaming Shagun shouldn't cost Ishita the pain it did. P.S - This one' kinda long so I hope you don't use this as an alternative to sedative LOL and even if you do, I hope I hear from my readers how well they slept post reading this

"Not fair" she whispered breathlessly. " You're only supposed to look" "Is that right? " his voice was teasing, but thick with passion. " Well, I don't play fair baby" After meeting unexpectedly and becoming marooned together during a blizzard in the wild South of New Zealand, warring Delhi neighbors Raman and Ishita, who profess to hate each other, discover a mutual all consuming passion. Each tries to resist the other, but when their lives collide again in Delhi, the inevitable happens. This is the story of the righteous and softhearted Dr Ishita Iyer and the cynical, embittered and temperamental Raman Bhalla, and their mutual love for Raman's daughter, Ruhi, which acts as a catalyst to bring them together. This story explores their discovery of love, passion and desire, and how they fight the odds, their pasts, their warring families and even themselves, to create a life together. This FanFic is based on the characters from the Indian Television series Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, but takes a completely different tangent after the story of the first month of the show. I pick up the tale after the CEO function, when Ishita confronts Raman during his TV interview, after he has her parents arrested due to a misunderstanding. A variation of this story was first published on India Forums between 2015 - 2018. This Wattpad version has been re-written in parts to explore Raman and Ishita's sensual journey towards happiness, and unabashedly celebrates their fiery physical attraction. If sensuality is not your thing, give this one a miss. Otherwise, read on.
