Part 69

'Sorry...'' Said Ishita smiling as she added

'I was just so happy...'' causing Raman to smile at her childish antics

'Dinner is ready; all of you are needed downstairs... Aditya's orders...'' Said Raman

'Oh yeah come on Abhi... Ishu you're also expected down stairs today, you're not having your dinner from here or that balcony...'' Said Mihika looking at Raman

'I will bring her down I swear. Just please take her wheelchair...'' Raman answered

'How will she get down if her wheel chair is here... Oh right...'' Said Mihika realizing Raman was intending on carrying her down

'You know you don't have to carry her downstairs every time she wants to go downstairs. You can just wheel her down...'' Said Abhimanyu

'I know Abhi I am not an idiot but I prefer to get her there my way...'' Said Raman

'Abhi what's your problem. Leave my husband a lone...'' she said smilingly causing Raman to turn and look at her because this was the first time he had heard her call him her husband in a long time.

Abhimanyu turned and walked out shaking his head as he said

'I swear you are spoilt to the tee...'' and he could hear Ishita say

'You know you can carry her as well if you want too...'' but he just ignored her comment smiling as he walked out

'What was that all about?'' asked Raman curiously

'Uhh nothing much... Just teasing hum a little...'' said Ishita as she put her arms around Raman while he carried her off the bed to take her down stairs

***************************************

The kids were so excited about the dinner. It had been a whole since they all shred a meal together and they (the kids) were determined to remind their Ishima how good it had been before things fell apart.

Ishita was also a bit excited because knowing Santosh this dinner was going to be packed with delicious foods that she wouldn't wait to get her hands on. Raman and she made their way into the dining room and they could see it had been set and ready to go. She sat beside Raman like she always did while Abhimanyu and Mihika took their seats as well joining the rest of the family although Ishita could feel something was missing

'This is going to sound weird but where did Simmi go? I think the last time I saw her was the day I came back. This doesn't seem complete without her. Where is she staying'' She asked but everyone just kept quiet and didn't say anything

'What's wrong? Why won't you all say something? Is she okay...'' Asked a genuinely concerned Ishita

'She is in her room. She doesn't come out of her room much especially when you're out of yours...'' Said Ruhi

'Why is that...?'' Asked a somewhat surprised Ishita because she thought they all had got passed the whole tarish issue

'Because she feels guilty for what happened plus papa...'' Said Aditya who looked at his father and kept quiet causing Raman to interrupt

'Let's just eat, we'll all talk about this later...'' he said

'Raman... Let the boy talk... Aditya Papa is...'' Said Ishita

'She thinks papa wouldn't approve of her being here with you and also he doesn't talk to her much.'' Said Aditya

'They don't speak since the day they took you...'' Said Ruhi

Ishita turned and looked at Raman and he understood that she was expecting an explanation from him

'Look I am not to blame if she has a mind set of her own. I have never stopped her from coming out neither have I asked her not to show up today. If she doesn't want to eat, how is that my problem ...'' Said Raman defensively
