Chapter - 22 : Thoughts
Vineet moves to dress up for the office. Ruhana is in thoughts. She is thinking about her life. Destiny has made her life a roller coaster ride. She married in an instant and thought that her husband will not accept her. But he befriended her.
Vineet and Ruhana married unwillingly, for their family sake. They didn't know where their life will take them. Maybe, they even imagined that their partners won't accept them. At least, Ruhana expected so. But, destiny had other plans.
Vineet turns out to be the opposite of what Ruhana thought. He took stand for her. He held her hand and stood by her side. When his mom wasn't ready to accept Ruhana as her son's wife, he left the house even. Now, they have a life of their own. Yesternight, he gave her a surprise. He even gave her the lease to work in the office.
Ruhana smiles at her thoughts. She is truly blessed in a way. But she doesn't know what is there in store for her in the future. Where will this relationship with Vineet lead her to. It won't be wrong if she says that she has developed liking for Vineet. She is enjoying his company. The way he deals with office work and home chores, he is nice. He has been her best friend, since the day they got married. Ruhana sighs. It's going to be one month of their wedding. Maybe, he has also developed a liking for her. She needs to know it. But, she doesn't want to hurry for that. She doesn't want to put the burden of this unwanted relationship on him, until & unless he wants it as well.
Her reverie is broken when her phone rings. She picks it up, it's a call from her mother. She picks it up in an instant. She talks over to her mother who talks to her about a party. Ruhana is surprised and suddenly realises that it's gonna be her father's 60th birthday. Oh! She should be the one arranging the party.
"Mumma! I'll do. I'll arrange everything. Sorry, main bhul gayi thi." she says.
"It's okay, beta. Tu weekend par aa jana, vineet ke sath. Then we will decide." her mother says.
Ruhana agrees and they disconnect the call after some more talks. She turns around and finds Vineet serving the breakfast. She's surprised, he has made sandwiches. He gives her one sandwich and asks her about the call.
" Papa ka 60th birthday hain, next month. Bas usi ki baat karni thi mumma ko." Ruhana says.
"Then you should go home." He says.
"Haan Vineet. Par pehle hamara kaam zaruri hain. Aur main akeli nahi jaungi. Mumma ne tumhe bhi bulaya hain." she says.
Vineet looks at her and smiles. Her family is treating him as their own. He can't deny the fact. Her father already asked him to live with them, but he decided to opt for a new home. Her father has always been helpful. Ruhana tugs on his hand to bring him out of the reverie. He looks at her and says that they will visit her home at the weekend. She agrees and soon they leave for the office. There's a lot more work to be done.
Singhaniya Associates
As they reach the office, Ronit calls Vineet into his cabin. Ruhana lets him go and she enters his cabin and settles her things. Her eyes falls on a file that is kept on the table. It's the same deal that was signed between Kabir and Kashish. Ruhana sighs. Her elder sister's memories come rushing to her. She remembers how she clinged on her at the times of meetings. The two of them came to meet Kabir and vineet. She felt Kabir to be different. But he wasn't, infact her sister wasn't. It's been almost a month and she hasn't called her, or even messaged her.
Ruhana sighs. It's not the time to think about the past. She has to work on this project. This is her father's dream as well. She needs to discuss it with Vineet and her father as well. She wants to make this project, a huge success. She opens the file, and at the same time, Vineet enters the cabin. She looks at him and asks him about what his father said.
"Ruhana, dad chahte hain ki main ek deal ke liye US jaun." Vineet states.
"Achi baat hain. Lekin haan, is baar jhooth bol ke mat jana." Ruhana says while looking at Vineet.
"But, he can go. I mean he is more experienced than me." Vineet says.
"Agar papa chahte hain, toh it will also help you, Vineet. Aapke apne business venture ke liye ye experiences kaam aayenge. Mere khayal se tumhe jana chahiye." Ruhana says.
"Lekin phir tum akeli ho jaogi yahan. Aur hamara project? " He asks.
"Ye project hamare companies mil ke karenge na Vineet. So, we can discuss it with papa and then I will begin. Aur tum toh chahte hi they ki main ye project handle karun, toh main kar lungi." She says with a smile.
Vineet smiles. He has a good faith in her and he knows that he will handle everything. He can go for the deal in the US.
"Are you sure, Ruhana?" he asks for another time.
"Haan Vineet. When will you leave?" she asks, her eyes fixed on the file that she's reading.
"Next week. We still have time. We can discuss everything that you want to." he says.
She agrees. They should make most of the time that they have in their hands. Ruhana tells him some points and they begin discussing the work strategy.
The day passes in a blur and Ruhana and Vineet ended up making teams for the project. Ruhana seems satisfied, now there will be no problem. She will handle everything that is in her hands. After finishing up, vineet glances at his watch. It's 8 PM already.
"It's late." he says.
"Kaam mein waqt pata nahi chalta hai. Chalo, let's go home and relax." She says.
"How about Dinner on the way?" he asks.
Ruhana looks at Vineet and agrees. Vineet smiles and they leave the office. He takes her to his favorite restaurant, which is by chance, her favorite restaurant as well. Both of them are elated and they find that they posses same tastes as well. Ruhana laughs.
"Kyun has rahi ho?" he asks.
"Kyunki tum meri tarah ho, you are a foodie like me. Aur tum apni family aur doston ke liye kuch bhi kar sakte ho." Ruhana says.
"aur tum meri tarah jazbati ho. Har cheez ko dil se feel karti ho.." Vineet says.
"Har jagah dimag kaam nahi aata Vineet. Kuch Rishtey dil aur jazbat se jude hote hain. Jaise ki hamara rishta." Ruhana says with a smile.
Vineet can't help but agree to her. They have developed a beautiful relationship on emotions and it's their power as well. They know it. Meanwhile, their order is served and they have their food with light chitchat. Aftermath, they leave for home.
Vineet offers to make coffee for the two of them and Ruhana agrees. Vineet freshens up and makes his way into the kitchen. Ruhana also freshens up and is thinking about Vineet. She sits on the bed and relaxes. Meanwhile, he comes with two cups of coffee. She thanks him and takes a sip. He looks at her and says something that leaves her surprised and touched.
To Be Continued.
What did Vineet say?
Stay tuned.
