Next morning

Ruhi was quiet low. She was awake but was still in bed. Manvi came out of the washroom and threw a cushion on her..

“Wake up Ruhi!! Hum late ho jayenge. “ she said.

“tu ja. Mujhe nahi jana college. “ she said turning in the bed..

Manvi pulled her blanket… “uth ja na… Varna bua mujhe daantegi. “ she said.

“mumma se bolna I'm not well. Mujhe college nahi jana. “she said and pulled up her blanket.

Manvi sighed…

“tu uski wajah se pareshan hai? “she asked.

“manvi please. Tu ja na. Leave me alone. “Ruhi shouted this time.

Manvi was left surprised. Meanwhile, Ruhana entered in the room…

“kya hua dono ko? “ she asked.

“Mumma, Ruhi ko samjhao. Bekar ki zidd leke baithi hai. “Manvi complained.

Ruhana sat on the bed and smeared her head…. “Ruhi kya hua? “ she asked.

Ruhi opened her eyes to look at Ruhana and then hugged her. Ruhana smeared her head…

“Ruhi kya hua? Aise kyun ro rahi hai? “ she asked.

She parted the hug and looked at Ruhana…

“Mujhe college nahi jana. Wo mujhe wahan phirse milenge. Aur wo mujhe papa ki yaad dilate hain. “ she said in a teary voice.

“Aaj hum basketball nahi khelenge. Wo sirf basketball coach hain Ruhi. “Manvi said.

“Par mujhe nahi jana. Bas! Mami please mumma ko samjha dena. “ she said and lied on the bed again.

“bilkul apne papa pe gayi hai ye… Ziddi ladki. “ ruhana said and manvi giggled.

Ruhana looked at her… “tum bahar jao. Bua nashte pe wait kar rahi hai. “she said.

Manvi nodded and left the room. Ruhana nudged Ruhi again… “Ruhi, uth jao beta… Zid nahi karte na! “ she said.

“mami please… mujhe nahi jana. Aapko samajh nahi aata kya ek bar mein. Main nahi jaungi matlab nahi. “ she shouted suddenly.

Ruhana sighed… “okay shant! Main ja rahi hoon. “ she said and left the room.

She moved outside the room and found Vineet. She sighed looking at him.

“relax Ruhana. Main baat karta hoon ruhi se. “ he said.

Ruhana held his hand… “abhi nahi. She is very disturbed. “ she said.

“mumma aap chalo mere sath college. Aapko bhi yakeen nahi hoga. “ manvi said.

Ruhana and vineet exchanged glances and Ruhana nodded affirmatively. They heard angel's voice…

“jaldi aao sab. “ she said.

Ruvi and Manvi walked towards the dining table. She looked around…

“Ruhi kahan hai? “ she asked.

“so rahi hai. Tu dekh lena aur nashta bhi khila dena. Aaj uske sath reh. Office main aur vineet dekh lenge. “Ruhana replied.

Angel sighed and nodded. A while later, Ruvi left along with Manvi. Angel served the breakfast and moved to Ruhi's room.

Ruhi’s room

Ruhi was sitting on the bed staring out of the window. It seemed that she was watching something keenly. Angel looked out. On the tree, there was a nest where a bird was trying to feed her child and her companion was bringing food. A little family struggles, she could see. Angel smiled lightly and kept her hand on Ruhi's head. Ruhi looked up at her and instantly hugged her locking her arms around her waist. Angel smeared her head and parted the hug. She sat beside her…

“agar papa hote toh sab acha hota na mumma? “ she said.

Angel smiled…

“ab bhi kya bigda hai, main hoon na? “ she said.

Ruhi smiled.. “aap toh best ho mumma. “ she said.

Angel smiled… “toh college kyun nahi gayi? “ she asked.

“Nahi jana. Vo bhi hoga wahan. “ she said.

Angel sighed…

”shakal ek hone se kuch nahi hota Ruhi. “ she said.

“but mumma… “ she was about to say something but was cut by Angel.

“Dekh ruhi…. Ek Jaisa dikhne pe bhi wo tere papa jaisa nahi ho skta. Wo sachin nahi ho skta. Tujhe uspe dhyan nahi dena chahiye. “ she said sternly.

“wo mujhe papa ki yaad dilata hai. Main nahi jaungi college. Jab aap usko dekhogi tab samjhogi meri Condition. “ she said angrily.

Angel sighed… “ruhi beta… Tu Kyun nahi samajh rahi. Sab ek se nahi hote. Tujhe apni padhai pe dhyan dena chahiye. “ she said.

Ruhi was stubborn at her place.. “Mumma try to understand. Aapka pata nahi par unka chehra mujhe effect kar raha hai. “ she said as tears trickled down her eyes.

Angel sighed and pulled Ruhi in her embrace. Her eyes fell on Sachin's picture that was placed on the side table.

“ab kaunsa khel khel rahe ho? Sach mein laut aaye ho ya fir se ek dhokha? Mat satao Hume. “ she thought to herself as she tightened her grip around her daughter.
