Ishita was pacing to & fro in her room thinking about Raman's reaction for the change in plan. 'Aaj tak mai aur Raman sath me ghumne tak nahi gaye aur ab 3 din ek sath, it's really awkward. Agar Ruhi k liye na hota to mai kabhi agree nahi karti.'
Raman comes in the room & says, "Papa ne bataya mujhe Pammi Aunty ke invitation ke bare me. Hum dono ko jana hi hoga Ruhi ke liye. Please mana mat karna I want to go to picnic with my daughter, I want to spend time with her, aur tumhare bina meri bachchi kahi jayegi nahi, please chalo."
Ishita was stunned to listen all these. She was thinking that this Akdu kumar will taunt her for the change or may be deny for the same but at the contrary he is pleading her to go with him. She is surprised, shockingly surprised. But she can't show it to her husband, her over smart husband.
She thought to play along, " I am sorry I can't come with you. Puri duniya k samne hum pati-patni sahi, par aap aur mai, hum dono jante hai ki humara rishta room mates se zyada nahi. How can I go out with a roommate? & moreover I want to go to Pammi Aunty's place. She had invited me so dearly. Better luck next time."
" You can't do this to me Ishita. At least think about Ruhi, vo jana chahti hai."
" I don't owe you anything Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla. Aur Ruhi ko mai samjha lungi."
Ishita was going to washroom when Raman went to her & hold her hand saying, "Ishita I know, I don't owe you anything. Aur tumse favor mangne ka bhi mujhe koi haq nahi hai but for the first time in her life my daughter has asked me for something, mujhe use vo chhoti si khushi dene ka mauka de do. I want her to know that her papa loves her a lot, uske kehne pe uske papa puri duniya upar niche kar sakte hai, I barely get spare time to spend with her because of my busy schedule which I am going to change soon par tab tak please ek bar chalo na, tumhari bhi outing ho jayegi vaha spa vagera hai tum relax kar lena aur mai apni bachchi ke sath rahunga. I promise I won't bother you there. Aur kuchh na sahi ek ehsan hi kar do baichare baap pe."
"Ok fine I am coming. But you don't forget you said you won't bother me there."
"Pakka, promise."
"Vaise I was playing with you, it was already decided. I was ready to go for picnic"
"Moti Madrasann, tujhe achchha lagta hai na mujhse request karvane me, bhav khane me"
"Abhi paheli bar Ravan kumar Ram kumar ban ke itni politely bat kar rha tha to I thought of getting along"
"Aayi badi Ram kumar. You know what! tu Ravan kumar ke hi layak hai"
"Haan agar do lines bhi aur bolte to pakka mujhe diabetes ho jati, kadve kareli ki aadat jo hai."
"Ab samjha tum mere jaise hot & handsome bande ke sath akele jane ka chance kaise chhodogi!!"
"Oh hello Mr.khudpasand I am going with you because of my daughter otherwise I won't even show up with you."
"Bahane kyu mar rahi hoo..pata hai man me to laddu fut rahe honge."
"In your dreams"saying so Ishita went to bathroom to change in her night clothes.
Both were trying to be smart in front of each other. But deep down both knew it won't be as easy as they are pretending because they have never been able to talk or to discuss anything either they end up fighting or blaming. Both had the worst past, which never allowed them to involve in their marriage. After Shagun Raman used to think every woman is a gold digger & selfish they use men as credit card & keep changing the credit card. Ishita loved Subbu from every fiber of her existence but when he ditched her she assumed there is nothing like true love because a person who used to claim that he loves her for 15 years suddenly left her when she needed him the most.
Truth to be told being skeptical about staying together for 3 days still they want to do this for their little angel.
Ishita came out from the washroom & saw Raman was working in his laptop, "Raman I want to talk to you."
"Haan. Bolo mai sun raha hoon."
"Vo I was saying ki, you can always count on me if the matter is related to Ruhi. I will always be there for you if the matter concerns my daughter & in fact I also want you to be in my touch for her progress report. I mean we have to work as a team. I want ke Ruhi ko kabhi humare rishte ke bare me pata na chale, I want Ruhi to have a normal childhood. She thinks that her mumma papa is world's best couple aur mai chahti hoon ki uska ye illusion hamesha ke liye bana rahe. Ruhi has already suffered a lot at such a young age ab I want ki use hum itni khushiya de ki vo pichhala sab bhul jaye. To kya aap mera sath denge? "
"Paheli bar kisi aurat ke muh se koi samjdari vali bat nikali hai. Thik hai we will be together par 'SIRF RUHI KE LIYE.' aur koi ummeed mar rakhana mujhse."
"Of course 'SIRF RUHI KE LIYE' aur vaise bhi mujhe aap se koi aur ummeed hai bhi nahi. Abhi so jao aur lights bhi off karo mujhe neend aa rhi hai."
"Mera kamra, mera laptop, mera kam, meri lights mai kyu bandh karu tum hall me chali jao."
"Ja sakti to kab ki chali na gayi hoti hall me 'SIRF RUHI KE LIYE' bardast kar rhi hoon aaoko."
"To mujhe bhi koi shauq nahi hai madrasi idli ko subah sham dekhte rahena mai bhi tumhe 'SIRF RUHI KE LIYE' jhel raha hoon."
"Fine ab chup ho jao to mai so pau, bahot kam hai mujhe kal."
"Haan mai to vella hu na jaise. Aur haan picnic me mere sath kuchh aisa vaisa karne ka sochna mat yad rakhna 'SIRF RUHI KE LIYE' ".
"Kuchhh bhi. Ravan kahi ka."
