Vineet leaves on Sunday night and Ruhana retires to her room. She is working on the presentation when her phone beeps. It's a text from Vineet to tell her that he has reached the airport and has checked in. He'll be boarding the flight in a few minutes. She replies back with smilies and asks him to call once he reaches Singapore. She sighs after sending the message. LShe closes her laptop and keeps it on the side table. She lies down on the bed. Her gaze lands on his side of the bed. His presence makes her feel secured and today he is not here. She turns towards his side and falls asleep reminiscing the moments she spent with him today.

Next Morning, she wakes up early to a morning greeting from Vineet. She smiles and wishes him luck for his meeting, after which she gets busy with her work. Finishing her work, she gathers her things and drives to the office.

Singhaniya Associates

She enters the office and moves straight into Vineet's cabin. She settles down when the manager tells her that the delegates will be arriving in an hour. She agrees and asks the manager to make the conference ready for the meeting. He leaves the room and Ruhana gets ready for the meeting. She checks the presentation and then moves into the conference. Meanwhile, the delegates arrive and she greets them. The senior delegate looks at her.

"Mr. Vineet kahan hai?" he asks.

" He is out for another meeting. I'll be handling this. I'm his wife." She introduces herself.

The delegates nod and they begin the meeting. Ruhana explains everything to them and they seem impressed. They finalise the deal.

" Mujhe lagta hai, is kaam ko aapse better koi nahi kar sakta, Mrs. Singhaniya. Fashion mein kaafi achi samajh rakhti hain aap." he says.

Ruhana smiles. Yeah, she is a fashion designer and can understand their needs nicely. She looks at them.

"Yeah! I am a fashion designer. I didn't know I will be able to do it. But I am thankful to you also."  She says softly.

The delegates smile and they sign the deal. Ruhana is happy to have grabbed the deal. She wraps up the deal and heads to her cabin. She settles on the bed and discusses the other tasks with the manager. Meanwhile, there is a knock on the door. It's Ronit. Ruhana calls him in and complains that he could have called her. After all, he is the boss. Ronit places his hand on her head.

"Thank you beta! You have proved your worth." he says.

" I had to do it. Vineet se promise kiya tha maine ki unki absence mein main office handle karungi. Its my duty, papa." She says while looking at him.

Ronit smiles. She is a nice girl who is handling everything as if it is hers. She could deny it, but she helped her husband and his mother hasn't accepted her in the family. She has given up on her dreams too, only to fulfill her husband's dreams. Ronit is proud of her. He tells her to relax as they have another meeting and he wants her to accompany her. She is surprised.

"Lekin Vineet ne mujhe kuch nahi bataya." She says while looking at her father figure.

"Koi Baat nahi, beta. Tum fikar mat karo. Main hoon na. Agar Vineet hota toh wo bhi aata mere sath. Ab wo nahi hai toh tum aaogi. I'd love to hear your suggestions in the discussion." he says.

Ruhana nods positively. She won't participate, infact she will listen and then say something, after all, she is unaware of another meeting. She can't deny his father. Ronit smiles and leaves the cabin while  Ruhana texts Vineet about the meeting and tells him that they have bagged the deal.  She is elated with the fact that she could be of some help to him. Because of her he's able to pursue his dream, and this makes her happy. Putting her phone in her purse, she moves towards Ronit's cabin as he asked to meet her in his cabin.

The day passes in a blur. Ruhana feels better after attending another meeting with Ronit and later, she makes her way home. It's almost 8PM today, she got late in the second meeting. She makes her way to her flat and unlocks it. She switches on the light of the hall room and is left surprised to the scenario in front of her.

To Be Continued.

Why is Ruhana surprised?
