Next day Mr and Mrs Iyer came back from Chennai. They were warmly welcomed by their children and Bhalla siblings. Though Mrs Iyer was irritated by seeing the Bhalla siblings, she stayed quiet for the time being. After the dinner, ishita cleared her throat and spoke "Amma Appa, I have decided something"
Everyone looked up to her.
"Bahot sochne ke baad maine ... Nahi humne" she stopped to look at a smiling Raman "Matlab main aur Raman ne yeh decide kiya hai ki..."
"Kya?" Mrs. iyer again spoke
"Let her complete Madhu. Ishu Kanna bolo" Mr. iyer told.
"Humne decide kiya ki we both wanna get married," she said in a single breath by closing her eyes tightly. On hearing that, everyone was silent. Ishita reluctantly opened her eyes to find the reason behind the silence.
"This will never happen" Mrs Iyer left the table followed by Mr.iyer.
While all were telling ishita that it was told at the wrong time, Raman spoke
"enough yaar. Kitna bologe...It's okay aaj ya Kal yeh batana hi tha."
Mihir "Par ab kya hoga?"
"Main manaunga Amma ko" He walked to their room. He entered the room with a knock "I know ki aap mere baare mein kya sochte hai. I'm really sorry for what I did before. I realized I was wrong... Realized but it was late. Till the time I regretted, I Had lost everyone - My family, You people, ishita everyone. Dher se hi Sahi samaj tho aaya... I just wanted to apologize to all of you. But now even Ishita loves me..."
He looked at their faces and walked towards Mrs Iyer who was seated on the bed. He sat down and "She wants to get married to me. I love her. She loves me and even my family loves her a lot. Forget about me, If Ishu would have loved someone else, you would have got them married right? I have once hurt Ishu a lot and I want to keep her happy for the whole life. "
He continued "Agar main Chahta toh main usse Bhaga sakta tha lekin Maine nahi kiya. I don't want to snatch her but win her. Main Chahta hoon ki agar humari shaadi ho toh sirf aapki permission se...jiske liye I can wait for a long time. Main Chahta hoon ki aap dono ishita ka haath Khushi Khushi mere haath me thaame. Please I request - please take the decision in Which ishita has good. I'll leave now "
He came out of the room. Everyone was eagerly waiting for him, as soon as he came out they poured a number of questions on him. He ignored all of them. After about an hour Mr Iyer and Mrs Iyer came out of the room. They announced "Raman aur Ishita ki shaadi hogi"
Everyone was overwhelmed and they hugged each other. IshRa took blessings from Mr and Mrs Iyer. Ishita spoke "Thank you Amma and Appa but I want a simple marriage"
"But why?" simmi asked
"I just want a simple one" Ishita say
"tomorrow at the temple?" Raman suggests
Slowly one by one agreed. Later all were pestering Raman what had told ishita's patents that they agreed for marriage. He shrugged. Ishita gushed "Raman... Maine suna. Aap bahot sweet ho, I mean such gentlemen..."
"Control...control Devi. I was just acting, DDLJ me SRK ne jo kaha I told it." when she was staring at him, he hugged her "I'm kidding, I love you"
Next day, they got married in a simple way. It wasn't much grand. Family members were the only guests present. Ishita wore Tamilian bride dress while Raman was in veshti. Marriage was a silent affair although heavily opposed by Mrs Iyer who wanted the whole grand event.
After a day, ishita packed her bags and told she and Raman were going somewhere. They left, leaving iyer thinking reason behind their sudden departure. They kept on guessing ignoring Mihir's shout 'honeymoon'. Mihika stood up "I know where she went. Why she went and why she demanded a simple marriage. Everyone pack your bags..."
"Chalo, Raman."
"No"
"Raman. Zidd mat Karo. Chalo please"
"Ishita, samjho"
"Raman, don't you trust me?"
"You know I do- "
"Then chalo mere saath"
"But"
"No ifs and buts. chup chap chalo"
"Par"
Ishita "Raman. Uncleji ne kya bola tha ki jab tak main tumhare saath na hoon tum uss Ghar pe Kadam nahi rakh sakte. Right?" He nodded in positive "Toh what's the problem now. I'm there with you "
Raman says in a defeated tone "Ishita, I can't face them"
Ishita begs "Raman please mere liye. Chalo andhar"
Raman mumbled and okay and looked up to his house. His House - the house in Mumbai, the one of his own, the one which he owned a few years back, the family which lived inside belonged to him. He had a sense of apnapan there.
He looked at Ishita who was standing beside him clutching his hand slightly. She had brought him here, to make him meet his family whom he hadn't met for months though he had seen his siblings and conversed in the phone.
She walked with him inside the house. She was the first one to enter the house. She saw the setting of the house and found it dull. It looked as though it was filled with sadness rather than the loudness it had before. Both IshRa knew the reason why. However, Ishita called out "UncleJi, auntyji...kaha ho aap?"
Toshiji hugged her happily "Ishita puttar tu yaha?"
Bhalla Ji beamed "Main Kitna khush hoon Tujhe dekhke"
They had a good laugh. Raman stayed outside the door just like Ishita had instructed. Ishita spoke "Uncleji ...auntyji...I wanted to tell you something. I...I mean...it happened so quickly"
Toshiji questioned, "What happened?"
Ishita says hesitantly "I got...I got married"
Toshiji asked dramatically assuming her son failed to woo Ishita "Married?"
Ishita continues "Yes. I'm here with my husband. He's outside"
Bhalla Ji orders "Call him inside"
Ishita "Aajayie"
Raman entered. Toshiji smiled signing a well done to Raman. Even somewhere Bhalla Ji was happy but posed his ignorance and replied "Isne zaroor tume dhamkaya hoga"
Ishita pleads "Arrey uncleji. It's nothing like that. Everything's solved between us. Ek Choti si misunderstanding this, ab clear ho gayi...We are happy together. Uncleji. Please maniye na. I have forgiven Raman. Ab aap bhi maaf kardo. Raman ne bahot muskil se mujhe dhondke ke Yaad dash wapas laya hai"
Bhalla Ji asks confused "Yaad dash?"
She then told him all the vents chronologically while the senior Bhalla's heard it shockingly. Bhalla uncle was almost in tears, he went and hugged his son. After they fell content "Sach me tune shaadi Karli ?"
Toshiji intervenes "aise Kaise maa-baap ke Bina shaadhi Karli"
Ishita smiles "Arrey auntyji. Humne sirf mandir me shaadi kiya tah thaki jab hum yaha aaye toh aap Hamari shaadhi Dhoom-dhaam se kare"
Toshiji "Oye...Sacchi?" Ishita nods, Toshiji does a happy dance "Phir changa Ji. Shaadi ki taiyaariyan shuru"
Mihika entered winking "Shaadi me hume nahi Shamil karoge"
Ishita was shocked to see mihika there. Mihika continued, "Haan. Sab ko leke aayi hoon"
Ishita asks shocked "Par tume kaise?"
Mihika "Mai Tujhe bachpan se jaanti hoon, I know what you think and what you do samjhi"
Ishita hugged her.
