Ruhi had just woken up from her deep slumber. She looked around scanning the place rubbing her one eye with her tiny fingers. She looked at the window which made her realize its morning.

"Itthita aunty"

Ruhi yawned and called out for her. After few seconds, the reality struck her. Its like her habit now. Waking up in the morning, calling Ishita, then going in her arms, Ishita giving her morning kiss then making her ready for the day. But today it was different, today she has to stay without her which is somewhat difficult for her.

"Pahhpaaaa"

She shouted and the next moment he came rushing to her. Taking her in his arms he patted her back and twirled her. She giggled and wished him morning with a kiss on his cheeks. He returned back the kiss and took her to the bathroom to make her ready.

After the bath, Raman quickly dressed her up and made her wear a cute baby pink frock. Now it was the turn to tie her long silky hairs which was too difficult for him.

He parted her hairs and started making her braids only God knows how. Instead of taking three strips of hairs, he took two and started making her hairs. She was shaking her head not understanding what is going on.

"Ouuchh pahpaa.."

Ruhi shouted when she felt her hairs being pulled.

"Sshh roo papa is making ur hairs"

That's when neelu came in. She looked at ruhi's hair and her eyes widened seeing the new hairstyle which no one had ever seen.

"Bhaiya apne yeh kya kiya roo baby ke hairs ke saath"
Neelu said closing her mouth with her one palm.

"Tu hi kar de na.."

He left ruhi's hairs and then left the room feeling embarrassed. Ruhi and Neelu burst out into laughter.

"Cute pahpa.."

Ruhi mumbled between her laughter.

The rest of the day Ruhi spent playing alone and then feeling bored she went to Toshi.

"Dahdi I'm feeling boled [bored].."

"Puttar.. U go and play with the new neighbours na.. They r also of ur age.."

"Sacchiii"

"Mucchiii"

Toshi laughed and ruhi ran out to meet her new friends. She tried ringing the bell but her height was too small to even reach the bell. Feeling upset,she was about to go when suddenly she heard a voice.

"Hello.."

Ruhi turned only see two girls of her age looking at her blinking their eyes.

"Hello.. Ish this youl house?"

Ruhi asked pointing towards the door. The two girls nodded and ruhi jumped clapping her hands.

"Hello... I'm luhi Bhalla..."

"Luhii"

Both the girls pronounced the name again and again as if its a totally new thing.

"Bill you play bith me?"
(Will u play with me)

"Yesh bhy not"
(Yes why not )

The two girls happily agreed and they all played till evening. Ruhi finally returned home all tired. She drank her milk at once and went to her room. She saw Raman talking to someone on his phone. Her face lit up thinking it to Ishita.

"Pahhpaa... Itthita aunty?"

Ruhi asks pointing towards the phone. Raman thought to see her reaction if he says no. So he simply shakes his head saying no. Her eyes wells up missing Ishita and she starts crying. Ishita who was knowing very well Raman said no started shouting at him after hearing Roo's cry. Raman kept the the phone on speaker and picked ruhi in his arms. She hid her face and started crying saying she's missing itthita aunty.

Ishita smiled hearing it and called her name. Ruhi came out of the embrace and started looking here and there.

"Tee pahpa I'm misshing her sho much now I'm healing her boice too"
(See papa I'm missing her so much now I'm hearing her voice too)

"Oho drama Queen she is on the call..."

Hearing which ruhi smiled brightly. Seeing her smile he also smiled.

"Itthita aunty Itthita aunty"

Ruhi called her excitedly.

"Yes baby.."

"I missh u"

"I missh u more"

"I missh u three four five"

"I missh u thousands"

"I...I "

"I won!!"

Ishita said happily and giggled to which RaRu also giggled.

"Ap tab aaodi?"
(When will u come)

"Very soon"

"Bas ho gya ab mujhe bhi Baat krni h.."

Raman makes a pout.

"Itthita aunty.. Pahpa is jealous"

Ruhi giggled and Raman started tickling her. Both RaRu were laughing and their voice was a bliss to ishita's ears.

After their talk with Ishita. RaRu decided to go out for ice cream. Raman sat on his bike and made ruhi sit in front of him. Ruhi clapped her hands hearing ice cream.

"Pahpa I'll eat 5 ice creams"

Ruhi cutely says showing her 5 fingers.

"Accha Ji.. Ishita is not here so u will eat 5 ice creams huh"

Ruhi shakes her head in yes and then shakes her head in no.

Raman starts the bike. The journey was not at all silent as ruhi like always was blabbering to him about her day and new friends. They entered the ice cream shop. To their shock, shagun too was present there. Ruhi's clutch on his collar tightens as she starts sweating badly seeing shagun. Raman looks at Ruhi's condition and looks at shagun angrily for making his daughter feel so scared.

He pats Ruhi's back to calm her down and walks past shagun.

Shagun was quick enough to notice them coming. She intentionally goes to order one more ice cream.

While Raman was ordering, shagun came there and was pretending to to surprised seeing them.

"Ruhi... Raman.. What a surprise"

Raman fakes a smile and takes ruhi back in his arms who was sitting on the contour table.

"Ohh roo baby... Come to Mumma"

Ruhi looks the other side feeling scored to death as flashes of shagun beating her started clashing in front of her.

Raman was about to go away from shagun but shagun clutched ruhi's wrist and pulled her toward her. Ruhi started crying by now.

"Pah...paa"

She mumbled between her cries showing her arms indicating to take her back to his arms from shagun's arm which he immediately did.

"For god sake ruhi stop getting scared from me.. I'm ur mumma.. Ur mother... Nd u r not coming to me.. I don't know what that isheeeta taught u.. Didn't she teach u any manner?"

She keeps on blabbering about Ishita making Raman's blood boil. He clenches his palm and bangs it on the table making shagun stop .

"Just shut up shagun.. Just shut up.. How dare u even speak a single word against my ishita.. Better be in ur limits ... Nd be away from me,my daughter and my to be wife."

He looks at her with blood shot eyes and leaves along with ruhi.

"How could he Insult me!! I'll surely take revenge"

Shagun gets annoyed.

PRECAP-

"What happened roo? Why r u crying?"

"I'm misshing mumma so much"

Raman kept mum after hearing it.

"Ohh..errmm.. Ok.. I'll call shagun"

Ruhi jumps up hearing shagun's name.

"Offo pahpa I didn't mean shagun Mumma.. I meant...
