MIRANGE OF SECOND CHANCES. #Regular Updates

CHAPTER NINETY (THE EPILOGUE)

Santosh looked at her and as a mother it didn't take long for her to realize what was happening and soon even Vidya could see. The signs were so clear she wondered why she missed them all along.

Santosh put her plate down and walked over to where Ishita was standing and held her face. Looking at her at if she was looking for something or would find out something

'Uhhh what is happening...'' Said a confused Raman

Santosh then all of a sudden become teary and pulled Ishita into her embrace hugging her tight.

'Ammi what is happening...'' Said a clueless Ishita

'Why didn't you...'' Said Santosh stopping herself

'What...'' Said Ishita

'Oh My God you don't know...'' Said Santosh

'Know what?'' asked Ishita

'Ohh I just love you to bits you know that...'' Said Santosh hugging her again which caused Vidya to smile

They probably were the only two people in that room who know what was going on.

'What was that all about...'' Whispered Raman to Ishita as his mother walked back to her seat

'I have no idea but I will take the love...'' whispered Ishita

'So Raman, any plans for the future for you two...'' Said Vidya trying to hint

'What do you mean?'' Asked Raman

'Well you know... Like kids and stuff. You two should have a mini you around.'' Said Vidya

'Oh God No... I most definitely do not want kids. I am happy with what I have now so NO kids for me.'' Said Raman before he turned to Ishita and kissed her on the cheek and walked out saying

'Gotta go I am getting late for work. See you later...'' He said walking out

Romi soon followed suit and so did Mr. Bhalla leaving the ladies in the kitchen.

'Ishu...'' Called Vidya

'Haan...'' She replied

'When did you last you know, see your period.'' Said Vidya

'What sort of question is that? What are you the menstrual police...?'' Asked Ishita letting out a soft laugh

'No... What I mean to say is that I think you are pregnant''' Said Vidya

'What... No... Come on...'' Said Ishita as she tried to recollect the last time she had her period and she couldn't quite get to it

'Oh God...'' She said with the realization

'This is not good, this is bad...'' she added panicking

'What... Why...'' Asked Santosh

'He doesn't want kids. Didn't you hear him?'' she said

'Oh Please I am sure when you tell him his opinion will change believe me. Look just go take the test and first confirm before you tell him.'' Said Santosh to which Ishita obliged

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

Raman had been called back from work as soon as if was confirmed that Ishita was pregnant and Santosh wanted to just tell everyone but Ishita wouldn't let her until she told Raman first. She grew impatient and ended up calling Raman back home due to some emergency

'Okay Mom is freaking out about something. She kept on pushing me to come here as if she was...'' But as he kept on talking he saw she was a bit distraught about something

'Ishita what is it?'' he asked but she just turned and looked at him getting a bit teary

'Please tell me what's the problem ...'' he said getting worried

'Look I swear I was taking the precaution and I was even making sure I took the pill and stuff but maybe I skipped a few days I didn't know. But you have to understand that if I knew you didn't want this I wouldn't have... Oh God...'' she said

'Clam down... Tell me things I understand...'' He said holding her hand

'I am pregnant...'' She said holding her breath and Raman just kept staring at her

'Raman please say something why are you just...'' She said but he was just so taken up by emotion that he didn't know what to do except kiss her.

He placed his lips on hers and pulled her in kissing her as tears streamed down his face. She first hesitated but then kissed him thinking maybe this was his way of coping with the situation until she tasted his tears. She pulled away asking

'Are you okay...''

'You're going to have my baby. We are going to have a baby Ishita how could you think I wouldn't like that?'' he said

'Well this morning...'' she said

'Yeah because I didn't think you wanted one either. But then this... Oh My God... I get to have a little girl...'' He said hugging her

''Oh a little boy...'' she said letting out a soft laugh as she hugged him back

'But this is good right...'' She added

'Yes... This is more than right this is perfect.'' He said leaning in and kissing her tears that had streamed down her face

'You have no idea how in love with I am this minute...'' he said and when she saw the glow in his eyes, the smile on his face and heard the honesty in his voice she knew they were going to be fine

'Thank you for this...'' he added

'And thank you for allowing me do this. I get to have your baby...'' she said smiling as she leaned into him resting her head on his shoulder

'I LOVE YOU RAMAN'' She said

'I LOVE YOU MORE...'' He answered

They knew they needed to tell their children and family about this but they just wanted a moment to just be. They had been through a lot and survived hurricanes to be together. No one guessed that 6 years later they would be here holding hands thinking about life with their baby. A child they would say is Raman and Ishita's just like Ruhi and Aditya.

This story of love began with a million trials and tribulations with neither Ishita nor Raman thought they had any hope of love or happiness. They viewed the opportunity of a second chance as just a mirage not knowing their blessings were just around the corner.

DO NOT CLOSE YOURSELF UP TO NEW POSSIBILITIES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHO OR WHAT IS AROUND THE CORNER.
