"Good Morning"Ruchika murmered getting out of Ishan's grip.
"Good morning"He greeted kissing her forehead and in return she kissed his cheeks.
"What do you want for breakfast"Ishan asked Ruchika as she sat yawning.
"Just scrambled eggs please"She replied as he nodded and went to make it while Ruchika took a bath changing into a pink top with blue jeans.
The two of them were ready and were done with breakfast in an hour.
"It would all go well Ishan"She squeezed his hand as she could sense his nervousness.
Ruchika parked the car and both Ishan and her got down from the car
"You will do fine Ish"Ruchika tiptoed and kissed his forehead, Ishan nodded and pulled her in a hug,he was nervous to meet the woman who was supposed to be his mother.
"Shall we enter inside"She asked and they both entered the cafe,Ishan made his way towards the lady while Ruchika sat on a table nearby not wanting to intrude and if the situation went haywire Ishan won't be alone.
"Ms Mathur I want to come straight to the point I am here to inform you that Aria,Dad and I are very much happy without you and we don't want you back in our lives so please leave us alone"He straightforwardly said keeping his voice steady although he was shivering from inside.
"But Ishan can't you give me one chance everyone does deserve a second chance"She asked trying to fake a sad voice but even a small child could tell she was anything but sad.
"Everyone may deserve a second chance but you don't Ms Mathur you left even when Aria and I begged you not to,I can't forget my father's sufferings after you left and my little's sister cries I can't you destroyed everything with your own hands Ms Mathur you don't and consider this as Ishan Malhotra's last warning leave me and my alone or else I won't mind taking legal action against you"He authoratively said and left before she could reply and Ruchika followed him soon after.
"How do you feel now"She asked hugging Ishan rubbing his back.
"It feels like a huge burden has been lifted up,In childhood I wanted my mother back but not anymore I have papa,Ari,you,Vi Bhaiya and everyone I have my family and I am very much content with it"He said giving her a smile as she nodded breaking the hug.
"All thanks to you I wouldn't have came if it wasn't for you"He answered kissing her cheek.
"Now shall we leave we have to go to shopping and then we have to leave for airport too"Ruchika asked as he nodded and the two of them went on to the market.
"Roo we are roaming around in this shop since past half an hour"Ishan whined following Ruchika.
"Ishan just look around there are so many mcu goodies in here which we don't find in India and I want to buy it for everyone"She said picking up a cute Hawkeye and Black Widow friendship necklace.
"I am going to buy this for Ruhan and I"And dropped it in the basket.
"I am going to buy this stucky neckpiece for Ari,she is a big fan of the two's friendship"Ruchika said picking up a silver stucky neckpiece.
"Who the hell is stucky"Ishan asked
"Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes,their ship name is stucky"She replied with a chuckle and Ishan shook is head not being a big fan of marvel and she dropped the neckpiece in the basket.
They bought a Wanda Maximoff hoodie for Naira as she loves Wanda.
"I am buying this glasses for Aakash he has been wanting since so long"She said and dropped the tony stark glasses in the basket.
