Days began passing. Being Ruhi's coach, Hrishi usually dropped by at her home for dropping Ruhi and Manvi. Ruhi would stop him for lunch or. Coffee and Angel couldn't deny. One such afternoon, Angel was home. Manvi came home. Angel looked at her...

"Mannu, ruhi kahan hai? " she asked.

"Usey hrishi sir drop karenge. Wo aaj final practice session tha na. Unhone kaha tha ki main ruk jaun. But i came home. " she said taking the glass of water from her hand.

Angel just nodded. She looked at her...

"Waise bhua! He's so nice. Kal toh humne lunch bhi sath kiya tha. " she said.

"I know Mannu! Chal baith ja, khana lagati hoon. " she said.

She nodded and sat on the table. Angel served food to her. Manvi looked at her...

"Waise bhua, we planned ki aaj hum dinner pe jayenge. " manvi told.

"Kaun kaun? " she asked.

"Me, Ruhi and Hrishi sir. " manvi replied.

Angel nodded. Manvi looked at her..

"Bhua.. Aap bhi chalo na, maza aayega. " she said.

"Nahi tum log chale jana " she said.

"Arey chalo na! Hrishi sir bade mzedar hai. Maza aata hai unke sath. " Manvi said.

"haan mum! Chalo na. " Ruhi said while entering inside.

"Kab se bhua ko samjha rahi hoon, sunti hi nahi. " Manvi said sadly.

"Uffo mumma! Humne nahi kaha kuch sir ko. Wo khud treat de rahe hai. " Ruhi said.

"Maine bola na tum log enjoy karna. " angel said and walked into the kitchen.

"Arey bachon ko kyun daant rahi ho? Maine hi kaha tha unhe aapse puchne ke liye. " a familiar voice was heard.

Angel turned and found Hrishi standing at the door. He entered in..

"Next week hamara finale match hai. Uske pehle ek treat toh banti hai na. Aap aayengi toh mujhe bhi acha lagega. " he said.

Angel looked at him and at the same time, her phone rang. She excused herself and attended the call. She turned towards them and found Hrishi talking with the girls. She picked up her purse and turned to the girls..

"Ruhi, Manvi, mujhe office jana hai. Tum log dhyan se rehna. " she said.

"Aaiye, main drop kar deta hoon. "Hrishi offered.

She smiled.. "Thanks hrishi. I will manage. " she said and left. Hrishi, too left asking Manvi and Ruhi to be ready by 8 in the evening.

On the way to office, Angel remembered Hrishi and his words. He never failed to remind her of sachin. She knew, he wasn't Sachin. But he did affect her. He did things that reminded her of her husband. She couldn't deny his bonding with her daughter. If he hadn't taken a step, Ruhi won't be playing as better as she is now.

She stopped her car with a jerk. Her phone was ringing. She picked it up and it was vineet.

"bhai bas aa rahi hoon. " she replied and she realised that she drove past her office. She sighed and took a U-turn and drove back. She reached to her brother's cabin..

"Kya hua? Why are you panting? Sab thik hai na? " Ruhana asked.

"haann! Par bulaya kyun? " she asked.

"wo foreign delegates aaj hi meeting karna chahte hain." Vineet spoke.

"Toh aap aur Ruhana karlete na. Mujhe kyun bulaya? " she asked making a face.

"Yar tune uss deal pe zyada kaam kiya toh tu hi ja Vineet ke sath. " Ruhana said sitting on the chair.

"Arey par tujhe sab bataya tha na. Uska ek project tere paas hai na? " she asked irritatedly.

Ruhana glared at her... "haan but ye meeting mein tu jayegi. Main nahi. Tu ja apne bhai ke sath. Main Ruhi aur Mannu ke paas rahungi. " she said.

Angel looked at her... "Wo dono bhi dinner pe ja rahi hrishi ke sath. " Angel said.

"acha hai.." Ruhana said.

Vineet looked at them..

"chalo hum sab chalte hain. Bachon ki koi chinta hai nahi, toh no tensions. " Vineet said.

Angel and Ruhana agreed.

They discussed some points and then left for home. Ruhi and Manvi were getting ready. Ruhana moved into the kitchen to prepare coffee for the three of them. They were relishing their coffee,when the doorbell rang. Ruhi rushed to open the door and it was her coach. She invited him in. He greeted Vineet, Ruhana and Angel. Manvi too came out and he left with the girls.

Vineet looked at his wife and sister.

"Tum dono bhi ready ho jao. Hame bhi jana hai. " he said.

Angel nodded and moved to her room,while Vineet led Ruhana to their room. They left to their destination after a while.

Upon reaching the destination, Angel was left shocked cum surprised to see the someone.
