Pandit ji announced Ishra as husband and wife and told them to take blessing from their elders. Ishra walked together to Mr and Mrs bhalla and seek their blessings. Mr bhalla hugged Ishra while Toshiji pecked their foreheads lovingly. Then Ishra walked to iyers and took their blessings too.
Appa blessed them for a happy married life while amma blessed them to always stay healthy and together.
After taking everyone's blessing Ishra were going when Ruhi said-mujhche bhi lo, aashilwaad.
Ishra smiled hearing this and went to Ruhi. Ishra picked little Ruhi together and said-aashirwaad do mata.
Ruhi put her hands on ishra's head and said-matalani Aap dono ko hamecha khuch lakhe. She said and then asked looking at toshiji-chahi kaha naa dadi.
Toshiji nodded and amma told ishra to come inside the house to do all the rituals .
Ishra went behind amma ,Ruhi was still in their arms. She was too excited to be with her parent that she is not ready to leave ishra. Ishita too denied to leave Ruhi ,she make ruhi sit in her lap while amma started the rituals.
Ishra did puja together and then they were taken to have food. Ishra were made sit side by side and food was served for them in single plate.
Ruhi -nani, Main bhi khaun mumma papa chaath.
Amma -haan kanna, zarur khao. But don't call me Nani, I am ur paati, call me that only.
Ruhi nodded and start eating along with ishra. They were smiling seeing Ruhi eating with her small hands.
Ishita-betu, aapko khaane mein problem toh nahi ho rahi, mumma khila de.
Ruhi nodded and ishita start feeding ruhi. Raman was just looking at them and smiling eating slowly.
After the food, amma took ishita inside to change her clothes and wear the Saree and jewelleries brought by bhallas while Raman was sitting with ruhi waiting for ishita to come out.
Ruman were sitting playing together when Raman saw a woman walking inside in a jiffy. At first he thought who is she but later shrug thinking about her.
The woman went inside and ishita got happy seeing her and said-itni der lagaa di Vandu akka.
Vandu hugged her tight and said-sorry kanna, was badly stuck. But had to come,tu,she was saying when ishita hugged Vandu tight and said-baaki baatein baad mein at first congratulate me, I got married today. She said smiling making vandu congratulate her and hugged her tight.
Soon ishita was brought out, she was wearing a red chunari print saree along with light jewelleries. Her hair was tight in a bun while lots of sindoor in her partition and mangalsutra dangling in her neck was adding glow to her already glowing face.
Soon the vidaai ceremony started, her cousins make her throw rice behind while her mother was gathering it in her Saree pallu. After the ritual, ishita and her family start crying. Ishita hugged amma and cried bitterly. Amma too hugged her back and was trying to console ishita but she was nowhere to listen.
Seeing everyone crying Ruhi asked Raman -papa, why everyone is crying.
Raman -kyunki mumma hamare saath jaa rahi hai naa, toh unki family unhe miss karegi, so everyone is crying.
Ruhi-but mumma toh milne aa chakti hai naa, phil kyun lo lahi hai.
Raman -sab rota hai bachche, when they have to leave their parent. He said hugging ruhi tight closing his eyes.
Seeing raman, toshiji could feel that he is disturbed for something. She went close to raman and asked-kuch problem hai kya, Raman. Tu kuch pareshan lag raha hai.
Raman looked at toshiji and said-nahi maa, nothing like this, bas aise hi.
Toshiji -ishita puttar ko rota dekh pareshan ho gaya kya puttar, yeh toh har ladki ke saath hota hai. Isme pareshan hone ki koi baat nahi. She said making Raman smile meekly.
Appa was hugging ishita tight and said-ab tu apne ghar jaa rahi hai kanna, khush rehna hamesha. Aur joh bhi galti hui tere appa se, go sake toh usse bhool jaana. Mujhe maaf kar dena kanna. He said folding his hands.
Ishita hold Appa's hand and said-yeh aap kya kar rahe hai appa, u r my father, I know u did wrong by choosing subbu for me but raman ko bhi toh aap logon ne hi chuna hai. Raman ko mere pati ke roop mein chun kar aapne apni saari galti thik kar di appa. U choosed the best for me. And I will thank u for this whole life. She said and hugged appa again. Appa too hugged her back and consoled her.
Soon toshiji took ishita to the car and make her sit comfortably. Mr and Mrs bhalla folded their hand in gratitude and thanked them for giving them their daughter and promised to always keep her happy.
Iyers too thanked them for making ishita their daughter rather then daughter in law. They have a brief talk and finally all settled in the car and cars drove towards bhalla mansion.
Ruhi was sleeping in aditi's car, who is sitting in another car. Only ishra were sitting in their car along with driver.
Ishita looked around and asked-ruhi Kahan hai.
Raman -she is in another car, woh so rahi thi toh aditi le gayi usse.
Ishita -ok but woh yahin reh sakti thi, it will be good naa.
Raman nodded and looked away. Ishita felt his behaviour a bit weird but she shrugged the thought thinking he must be tired. She wanted to talk to Raman but he was looking out, so she too closed her eyes as it start hurting due to constant crying .
After few minutes, raman turned to see her only to find her closing her eyes. He too closed his eyes to relax.
After sometimes, they reached bhalla mansion. Raman wake ishita up and both came out of the car. All took ishita to the door where toshiji was already ready with aarti thaal.
She covered ishita's head with a heavy red duppata and start doing their aarti. She put tika on their foreheads and then told ishita to come inside pushing the vessel full of rice inside.
Ishita oblige to her and entered inside with Raman. Then toshiji instructed ishita to walk on the kumkum filled thaal and walk inside leaving her imprints.
Ishita did that too happily, then toshiji made her imprint her hand's prints on the wall with kumkum. Ishita did all the rituals happily while Raman was just looking at her. He can see her smiling genuinely but wasn't understanding the talk he heard was actually thinkable or he is over thinking.
