Ruhi when reached Kashaf’s house her phone was ringing continuously. Kanav, Swayam, Rey all were calling her. Abhi was sitting there with tears in his eyes & with a thought in mind that he will loose his sister. Ruhi connected everyone through conference call & sat besides Abhi holding his hands.
Kanav :- Shona what’ve u done? I mean its good that u met ur family but u should’ve told me abt revealing ur truth to them.
Swayam :- Di r u really gonna live with them?
Rey :- will u leave us & go?
Abhi (holding her hand more tightly) :- no i won’t let u go Di.
Ruhi :- r u all done with ur QnA’s? Now listen to me. Kanav I know that I should’ve have told u before but I my self didn’t know that I’ll reveal the truth. When I saw Ishita with Pihu I was really pissed & in frustration I just blurted out the truth.
Swayam :- but Di u hate them right then why u agreed to stay with them?
Ruhi :- I hate Ishita, Raman & that Pihu but not the whole family. Dadi’s condition is not well & if by me staying there she gets better than why not? I know that now Pihu is more imp to them than me but I still have my humanity. I’m going there just for the humanity sake & not b’coz I miss them or love them.
Rey :- but Di where r we gonna stay? U know na we can’t live without u.
Ruhi :- Rey we all r together since 10 yrs & in future too we r gonna be together for forever. U all will stay with me in the Bhalla-Iyer house.
Kanav :- Shona have u told them abt us & our marriage?
Ruhi :- no. But I’ll tell them in my way. I just wanna see their shocked faces when they’ll come to know that now I’m not Ruhi Bhalla.
Swayam :- OK Di bye love u.
Rey :- bye Di love u.
Ruhi :- love u too bye.
Kanav :- bye wifey love u miss u.
Ruhi :- bye husband. Love u miss u too.
They all hang up. Its evening. Ruhi has packed all her belongings & was getting ready. She wore a blue denim jeans & a kurti with a stole round her neck, red bangles in her hands (not the shadi wala chuda). She then puts the vermilion on her forehead (in music concerts she do wear her mangalsutra – but hides it in her tops – & vermilion – hides it by her hair styles). Zaroon has come to pick them up. Ruhi along with Abhi, Kashaf & both the kids left. There in the Bhalla-Iyer House all preparations were done for Ruhi’s welcome. A small feast is organized, Ruhi’s favorite dishes were prepared. Everyone was waiting for Ruhi eagerly especially IshRa. The car entered the premises, first Abhi, Zaroon & Kashaf stepped out & then Ruhi with Ashu in her arms & Aaru behind her. Aaru was holding Ruhi’s stole. Kashaf then pressed the door bell, hearing the door bell Ishita quickly opened the door to find Abhi, Kashaf & Zaroon standing. From behind Ruhi came & Ishita was shocked to see her daughter with 2 kids with a mangalsutra in her neck & vermilion in her hair line.
Ishita :- what’s this? Why r u wearing a mangalsutra & vermilion & whose kids r these?
Ruhi :- Mrs Bhalla will u not invite me in? Or is this ur new pass time to ask questions to the people who come here at the door itself & then let them in?
Ishita :- no its not like that but I’m ur mother & I’ve a right to…
Ruhi (cutting Ishita in b/w) :- Aa….. First of all u r my step mother & second of all I’ve already told u that there r some people who will accompany me here. But seems u r not comfortable with it so I think I should leave.
Ishita :- no no. Its just that…never mind c’mon in.
Ruhi :- thnk u.
Ruhi enters in, Ishita was still in shock. She then noticed Aaru holding Ruhi’s stole & only one thought was in her mind that ‘who all r these people & what relation does her daughter have with them & is she married’. When Ruhi came to the living area everyone was elated to see her as well as shocked just like Ishita. Toshiji first did her aarti. Everyone hugged her & blessed her but when Pihu came to hug her she ignored her & went to Toshiji.
Ruhi :- how r u now feeling Dadi?
Toshiji :- after seeing u I’m much better beta. Look at u how much have u grown up in these 10 yrs. Ruhi puttar (seeing her mangalsutra & sindoor) r u married? To whom?
Just then Pihu comes with a poster she made of herher & beneath it was Ruhi Bhalla – The Rockstar.
Pihu :- Ruhi Di see what I’ve made for u.
Ruhi (taking the poster & tear the Bhalla piece) :- aww so sweet Pihu but I don’t need anything from u.
Pihu :- Ruhi Di why u tore the Bhalla word?
Raman:- yes Ruhi why u did this so? U Raman Bhalla’s daughter.
Ruhi :- though I’m ur daughter but I’m not Ruhi Bhalla, I’m Ruhi Kanav Malhotra w/o Kanav Malhotra.
Raman :- wife? Ruhi do u even know what r u saying?
Ishita :- yes Ruhi, u r kidding right? This is isn’t true, right?
Ruhi :- no Mrs Ishita Bhalla I’m not kidding. This is the biggest truth of my life. I’m married.
Adi (pointing to Aaru & Ashu) :- & r these 2 ur kids?
Ruhi :- yes. Though I didn’t gave birth to them but these 2 r my kids. These 2 r Kanav’s chachu’s kids (introducing Aaru) he is Aarav & (introducing Ashu) she is Ashneet.
Adi (pointing Abhi, Zaroon & Kashaf) :- & who r they?
Ruhi :- (introducing Kashaf) she is Kashaf my frnd cum sister, (introducing Zaroon) he is Zaroon Kanav’s best frnd, partner, brother, (introducing Abhi) & he is Abhimanyu Chabra a.k.a. Abhi my sweet innocent little bewakoof brother. Actually I also have other 2 brothers Swayam & Reyansh Chabra they r on a holiday but will soon return reason being we all cannot live without each for long.
Ishita :- & where is ur husband Kanav?
Ruhi :- he is in Switzerland for work but he too will return soon.
Toshiji :- now enough of ur questions. Ruhi puttar u must be tired go n freshen up then we all will have dinner together. Adi u take Abhi to guest room (the guest room is near Ruhi’s room).
Zaroon :- Bhabhijaan I’ll take ur leave now.
Kashaf :- yeah I should also leave.
Ishita :- arey where u both r going? Come have dinner with us.
Zaroon :- thnk u so much but I’ve a flight to catch.
Kashaf :- & I too have some work pending.
Ruhi (to Zaroon) :- flight? Where r u going & why haven’t u told me?
Zaroon :- actually Bhabhijaan, there’s a conference in Switzerland which I’ve to attend with Kanav Bhai.
Abhi :- Zaroon Bhaijaan, if u r leaving take Kashaf Aapi too with u (signing Ruhi with his eyes).
Kashaf (a little nervous) :- Abhi its not needed I can go by my self.
Ruhi :- no not at all. Zaroon u’ll drop her off. Kashaf its not safe in night for a girl like u to travel alone.
Zaroon :- but Bhabhi…
Ruhi (cuts him off) :- no ifs and buts. Its my order.
Zaroon :- ok Bhabhijaan.
Kashaf :- Aapi really its not neede…..
Ruhi (cuts her off) :- Kashaf do I’ve to give a order to u too (Kashaf nods her head in no) good.
Zaroon (to Kashaf) :- come I’ll drop u off (& they both left).
Ruhi (from behind) :- drive safe & call me when u reach.
Abhi :- what so u think what’ll happen?
Ruhi :- meaning?
Abhi :- meaning they both r alone in the car so…
Ruhi :- Chote don’t think so much. Nothing’s gonna happen, there’ll be silence in the car. U know na how they both r when they in front of each other.
Everyone had their dinner & then all retarted to their bedrooms. In the night Abhi comes to Ruhi’s room where she was making Aaru & Ashu sleep.
Ruhi :- Chote what happened? U here, at this time, u need something? (IshRa, Adi & Shagun-Manoj were at Ruhi’s window & hearing the brother sister convo)
Abhi :- I was not able to sleep.
Ruhi :- it happens in new places.
Abhi :- no its not like that. Its the people who r new to me & they r also ur real family. Its the thought which is not allowing me to sleep.
Ruhi :- what thought?
Abhi :- that tomorrow morning when I wake up u’ll leave me & side with them & then throw me out of ur life. Di u r my life I cannot live without u.
Ruhi (holding his hand & making him rest in her lap) :- Chote what you just said right now that’s never gonna happen. U, Swayam & Rey r really imp for me than my real siblings. There’s no one who can take ur places in my life, not even my real brother (listening to it Adi was a little hurt). Swayam, Rey, u, Kanav, Aaru & Ashu u all r my familyfamily & its never gonna change remember this. & if ever again u said what u said seconds before I’m gonna beat u.
Abhi (holds his ears) :- sorry Di.
Ruhi :- OK now go & sleep.
Abhi :- Di is it OK if today I sleep here.
Ruhi :- since when do u have to ask this? Come.
Abhi then gets up & lays behind Aaru, Ruhi was sitting holding Ashu in her arms. So Aaru was in middle of Abhi & Ruhi. She then starts singing lullaby Sun Sun Nanhe Lori Ki Dhun (from yeh rishta kya kehelata hai), listening to this lullaby Abhi, Aaru & Ashu slept & Ruhi too slept in a sitting position with Ashu in her arms. Seeing this sight IshRa, Adi & Shagun-Manoj were smiling, seeing their beloved Ruhi happy. But IshRa were also a little upset that their Ruhi hates them but they were determined to win her love for them any how & this time they will not let go off her like last time.
So how’s it. Drop off ur comments, c’mon chop chop.
