Ps- Hello friends! I thank each and everyone for your lovely comments from the bottom of my heart. Sorry for not being able to reply in personal.

The story is about to end. Next update will be the last one! And I'm sorry, I'm going to give a happy ending to the story in Sydney itself. As it was mentioned in the intro, this highlights Ishra and their kids only! There won't be any family(entire) moments! Extremely sorry for all those who'd wished to see that! 

Next update will be within 2 days!

Not proofread, sorry for any errors

Ishra place the kids on the chairs. Raman settles down on the main chair and Ishita serves for everyone. Raman pulls her and makes her sit down beside him.

Raman- Arrey we can serve for for ourselves!

Ishita- Arrey but let me serve for the kids.

Adi- Ishima! I will.

Adi serves for Pihu and Ishaan and Ruhi smiles her father and brother pampering her.

Ishaan/Pihu- Mumma/Papa!

All of them look at them confused.

AdiRu- What happened?

Ishra understand their plight. Ishita feeds Pihu as she was beside her while Raman feeds Ishaan and they happily have the food from their hands. Ruhi looks at Raman feeding Ishaan lovingly and she longs for the same love. But anyway she looks down at her plate as she thinks, she's all grown up now to get pampered. She was about to eat when she finds two palms with food in front of her face. They were none her father and brother. Both of them had indeed noticed her!

Adi- Have it Rooh!

Raman- Haan come on! I can feed you at least! You're still the same for me!

She happily eats from their hands having happy tears and Ishita smiles seeing her happy. Raman wipes her tears and Adi side hugs her. Ishra smile seeing their bond.

Adi- Achha Ishima, shall we got for lunch?

Raman- Yeah good idea, why Madrasan?

Ishu&Pihu- Yeahhh!

Ishita- hmm. No, bad idea!

Ruhi- But why?

Ishita- Rooh you know na, Ishu is very sensitive with the food outside!

Ishaan- But Mummaaa!

Ishita- Ishuu! You think I'll not know if you don't tell me?

Ishaan(looks down)- Sorry! This month's dose is over! I went out with didi when you went to India!

Raman- Arrey so what? Why are you making him cry? Ishaan we'll go out ok?

Ishaan- Yaaayy!

Ishaan runs and settles down in Raman's lap giggling. Ishita smiles but doesn't speak.

Ishaan- Pleeease na Mummaaa!

Pihu- Haan Mumma pleeeasee!

He pouts cutely making everyone smile. AdiRu wink at each other seeing their younger sibs making the plan work out, cutely.

Raman- Come on Madrasan! See how cute faces they're making!

He winks as it was her weak point! Her babies' CUTE FACES! Gosh!

Ishita- Raman, I don't have any problem. But I don't wanna take any risk with Ishaan's health.

Raman- Ok you're right! Ishu we'll go out some other time..

All the kids get restless seeing their plan back firing.

Pihu- But Mummaaa! We've to go and..

Adi(coughs)- We've to go out.. and ..

Ruhi- Go out and.. enjoy! Ishima Papa! We'd planned to go out today and you can all see the city too.

Ishita- Ok we will.

Adi/Ruhi(leaving a heavy breath)- yeahh!

Ishita- But after lunch.

All the kids(shocked)- WHAT?... WHY?

Ishra are left confused! Why are they shocked?

Ishaan- Mummaa pleeease na!

Raman- But Ishu, Mumma said it doesn't suit you na.. Then how can we..?

Ruhi- Don't worry Papa, we'll make Ishaan eat something healthy.. Right bhaiyya?

Adi- Ugh.. Haan.. haan GOOD IDEA!

Raman- Hmm.. What's cooking between you all?

Ishita- Yeah! Even I wanted to ask the same..

Pihu- Mumma, Ishaan said there are many cool places to visit here. So we planned to..

Adi- Yes Ishima, planned an outing today!

Ishra stared at them, Raman lifted his brows and she understood his signs! SOMETHING WAS COOKING UP! But what?

Raman- It's fine, we'll go out after lunch! Okay?

Ishra observe them keenly. All the 4 exchange "plan flopped" expressions but don't blurt out anything.

Ishita- Ok listen, I'm going out right now and will be back in an hour.

Raman- WHERE?

Ishita- To the stores. Have to get some stuff!

Raman- Ok, I'll come along.

Ishita- Arrey you can't!

Raman- WHY CAN'T I?

Ishita- It's a long way and you'll get bored of shopping anyways.

Raman- Yeah, but how can I let you go all alone?

Ishita(gets up)- I'm used to it Raman!

She turns to go but seeing none responding she looks back. Ishaan and Pihu had already left the dining. Adi and Ruhi were mute spectators to their convo. Raman had a guilty face hung.

Ishita(comes to him)- I didn't mean that Raman.

Raman(holds her hand, getting up)- You were alone but not anymore!

Both of them exchange smiles. AdiRu get happy seeing the love between them, which is still the same or even more!

Adi- Haan Ishima!

Ishita- Ok fine (giggles) I'm serious Raman, you'll really get bored!

Raman- No problem!

Adi- Achha ok! Papa, I'll go along with Ishima. Is it fine now?

Raman- Arrey but!

Ruhi- Haan bhai, that's the best!

Pihu- Even I wanna come along Mumma!

They look behind and find the kids running to them.

Raman- Ishu, what happened? Don't you wanna go with Mumma?

Ishaan- No I wanna stay with you Papa!

All of them giggle at his cute reply. Ishita grabs her purse and keys and heads out bidding a goodbye followed by Adi and Pihu. Raman goes inside, missing the opportunity to go with her! Poor guy! Adi winks at Ishaan and Ruhi winks at Pihu. All of them giggle inwardly. Ishaan and Ruhi go to Raman after fastening the door.

****

Adi- What do you wanna buy Ishima?

Ishita- Just some groceries and stuff!

Pihu- And some chocolates?

Adi- Didn't you buy enough yesterday?

Pihu- Hehe! But they're over na?

Adi- Haww! You finished all?

Pihu- Not me bhaiyya Ishu did!

Ishita(giggles)- Achha, it's ok! We've reached.

Adi- But Ishima, you said it's too far away.

Ishita bites her tongue getting caught.

Adi- Tell me the truth Ishima!

Ishita- Actually Adi..

Adi- Haan

Ishita- I wanted to buy a few gifts!

Adi- For?

Ishita- All of you!

Adi(laughs)- Ishima, you're too cute! You were denying Papa for this?

Ishita- Hmm..

Adi- Ok let's go!

They go inside a mall hand in hand, having Pihu in between.

****

Ishaan- Really Papa?

Raman- Haan she got polka dots all over her face!

Ishaan- Then what did Mumma do to get rid of those?

Raman- hmm.. Papa had made a paste; it was a home-made remedy. She was all fine the next morning!

Raman smiles recalling all the lovey-dovey moments in the initial days of their love!

Ruhi(giggles)- Haan, and Papa the next day was a complete Punjabi-Madrasai war!

Raman- Actually there was a war everyday!

Ruhi(lies down on Raman's shoulder)- Hmm! Those were the best days Papa!

Ishaan who was seated in Raman's lap, removes his didi's hair from her face and tucks it behind her ear.

Ishaan- Didi, are you not happy now?

Raman(side hugs her)- Rooh! I'm sorry.. but..

Ruhi- No Papa, let's just.. just forget it! And I'm very happy Ishu! Even more than before, because now you're there with me!

She kisses his cheek and he giggles. Raman hugs them more closely and kisses their foreheads.

Raman- Achha chalo, let's do something interesting!

Ishaan- What?

Ishraru- MAKE LUNCH!

Ishraru- YES!

All the three laugh happily and get into the kitchen. Ruhi secretly texts Adi. Raman wears her apron and starts acting like a chef. Ishru giggle seeing him act as if he's a good cook and going to prepare something authentic!

****

Adi(giggles)- And Ishima, do you remember that day?

Ishita(laughs)- Haan, which one?

Adi- You know what Pihu, Papa na! He's really stupid! He didn't propose Ishima for days!

Pihu(laughs)- Really bhaiyya?

Ishita- ADI!

Adi- No Ishima! She's not that innocent! Haan Pihu! And do you know the best part, me and Ruhi had to push him to do that! Otherwise, unse kuch nahi hota! (he can't do that also)

Both of them start giggling. Ishita blushes reminiscing the old times as those were the moments, to be treasured for life!

Adi- And haan, you know! We'd sent him with full preparation! But he had his tooth plucked out and made Ishimaa.. giggles in between not able to complete..

Pihu(giggles)- What happened bhaiyya?

Ishita(laughs)- Adi, concentrate on driving! I'll continue..

Adi- Haan ok!

Ishita- After that, your Papa made me drink wine saying it was a fruit champagne! He couldn't speak properly that night! He asked me the diamond, which he put into my drink!

Adi- But in real the waiter didn't put the diamond! All of us thought the otherwise and Ishima's talks were worth listening.. Hahahaha! She.. was scolding him and me, dadi, bua... OMG!!!

All the three of them laugh heartily!

Pihu- Papa is really buddu!

Ishita(laughs)- haha! But Pihu..

Pihu- Haan ok sorry I won't!

Ishdi look into the mirror and find her with her finger on her lips. Both of them smile seeing this and continue to drive.

****

Ruhi(shocked)- When did you learn all this Papa?

Ishaan- Haan Papa, Mumma says you don't know to cook properly!

Raman(removes the apron)- Your Mumma knows nothing! I can cook awesome food, even better than her! Try that for yourself!

Ruhi- Papa, I know Ishima cooks the best and yeah Ishu's stomach is sensitive.. I mean..

Ishaan(giggles)- didi!

Raman- Oyee! Stop that Ishima ki chamchi! Let's do this..

Let them all return, we'll serve the food and won't say anything.. Let that great cook..

IshRu- PAPA!

He sees both of them as Ishita's miniature versions having their hands on their hips.

Raman- OK OK my chotu Madrasans! I won't speak anymore.. All of you decide..

IshRu- OK!

****

All the five of them have mixed expressions tasting the food. Raman stands there with folded arms as if he was about to be awarded with his face gleaming in victory!

Raman- Now tell me? How's the food?

Ruhi- Papa!

Raman- Yes dear!

Ruhi- It's ..

Raman- Ya, come on! Adi, Pihu both of you already know my cooking skills.

Adihu- Haan Papa, but..

Raman- But what?

Ishaan jumps into Raman's arms giggling.

Ishaan- You're the best Papa! You've cooked awesome biryani! Even better than Mumma's. Haina didi?

Ruhi- Haan Papa the best one!

Pihu- My Papa is the best always!

Adi- Oh hello madam, he's our Papa too!

Pihu shows her tongue to him and Adi tickles her and she giggles.

Raman(proudly)- HMM! Is there anything left? TO SAY? There are some great cooks here right!

Ishita tries hard to control her smile by pressing her lips but all of them could notice her struggles and burst out into laughter. All of them have a lovely lunch and later settle down in the drawing. Raman lies down on the small cot having Ishaan over his tummy and Pihu sits near his head. Ishita wasn't there yet as she had gone upstairs. Adi Ruhi settle on the sofa confused seeing all the plan back firing. They'd agreed to out in the morning and they'd rescheduled the plan and even exchanged texts of the plan getting confirmed! They were just waiting for someone to utter the plan of going out. All of them were watching a movie on the TV.

Ishita- No one's going out?

All of them turn to see Ishita coming down.

Ruhi- YES!

Raman- What happened Rooh?

Adi- We'll go out na Papa?

Raman- Haan ok if all of them are!

Ishu&Pihu- Yaaaayyy!

Ishita(smiles)- Alright so shall we go?

Raman(smiles seeing the kids happy)- Alright!

All of them go to their room to change.

****

Raman comes out from the washroom and finds her in a blue salwar suit, reminding him of their early days. This was the look he'd always adored. He keeps smiling, folding his arms ogling at her who was brushing her hair. He cages her in his arms from behind without a warning. She looks at him through the mirror and smiles seeing him happily smiling. He kisses her cheek tight making her close her eyes, giggling and blushing at the same time. There were so many better places to kiss, but this was his favourite ;)

Ishita- What are you doing Raman?

Raman- Making your stupid dosa!

Ishita- HUH?

Raman- Then what, I'm kissing my wife stupid!

Ishita- I'm stupid?

Raman- No idiot! You don't know that your husband is kissing you even after these many years!

Ishita(blushes)- Ramann..

Raman(smiles)- Kya? (What?)

Ishita(giggles)- Leave me! Let's go na, they might be waiting for us!

She gets out of his hold successfully.

Raman- I've never seen someone running away from romance!

Ishita- Achha! Whom did you see?

Raman- So many!

Ishita- Past experiences?

Raman- Nah! Last 7 years!

Ishita(angrily, with her hands on her hips)- RAMAN! SERIOUSLY?

Raman- Haan! Of course, do you expect me to be..

Ishita- I'll kill you Raman!

She runs behind him all around the room.

Raman- Then how will you live Madam?

She throws a pillow and he catches it sharply.

Ishita- Without a cheater!

He suddenly clutches her arms not letting her hit him. He tightens his arms around her waist.

Raman- Cool down my JKR!

Ishita(pants heavily)- I won't leave you!

Raman- I never asked you to!

She wraps her her arms around his neck. Both had constant smiles looking into each other's eyes.

Ishita(smiles)- Ramann.. you're..

Raman(smiling)- I'm what?

Ishita(pulls his cheeks which irks him)- RAVAN KUMAR!

Raman- Pagal!

He happily hugs her. She rests her head on chest and her arms wrapped around him. He places a soft kiss on her forehead which makes her smile fully. He rests his head over hers'. 

Their Happy times had indeed started now! And they would last a for evermore!
