~#4. Banters~

Ruhana and her parents reach Hotel Rainbow and at the same time, Vineet also enters the restaurant.
Both of them bump into each other and get into a banter.

"Hello! Look for another table for yourself!" She chides him.

"Why don't you go and do the same?" He rolls his eyes at him.

"No, you're going! Abhi tumhari girlfriend hoti toh uski baat zaroor maan jaate." She snaps at him.

"Par tum meri girlfriend nahi ho, isliye jao, dusri table pe baitho! Bahut sari tables khaali hai." He says, irritated at the moment.

"Toh tum jaao naa! Mujhe toh yahin baithna hai." Saying so, she sits on the other chair.

"Huh, tum ladkiyan bahut ziddi hoti ho." Vineet makes a face.

"Vineet, let it be! We must sit at the other table. She came here first." his dad, Anoop says.

"Uh, Dad! Why can't she go?" Vineet makes a face.

"Let it be, So. We can take another seat," Anoop says softly.

"Jao! Apne dad ki baat toh maan lo." Ruhana snaps at him.

Vineet makes a face at her while she clicks her tongue at him. He glares at her but moves to the following table opposite the one on which Ruhana is sitting. Her parents sit opposite her and Sandhya scolds her.

"What was that?" she asks.

"That's correct. He must respect ladies. Aur main pehle aayi thi yahan." Ruhana makes a face.

"We could choose the other table," Sandhya says softly.

"Noo! See, we can see the sea waves. Wahan se nahi dikhta!" Ruhana reasons.

"Tum ziddi ho! Varna bahar ka scene yahan se zyada acha dikhta hai." Vineet says teasingly.

"Huh! Let it be. Mujhe tumse koi baat hi nahi karni." Ruhana makes a face.

"Mujhe bhi koi shauk nahi hai tumse baat karne kaa!" Vineet says.

"Stop it you two! Let's have dinner in peace." Ronit says, after seeing them bantering.

Vineet whines but chooses to be silent. The two families have dinner and leave for their respective homes.

*****

Ruhana and Vineet spend quality time with their parents.

Ruhana insists to go to the beach and her father obliges. Ronit and Sandhya sit on the shore while Ruhana is walking all over the shore. She's a great entrepreneur but she's a kid at heart. She's playing around her parents and they're adoring her. This girl has brought happiness for them and they're quite grateful for the same.

On the other hand, Vineet and his parents reach home. He offers to brew some coffee for his parents and they readily agree. He changes into his casual dress and begins to make coffee. It's their usual routine but usually Naina makes it for her husband and son.

These two families are happy in themselves.

*****

Mehra House

Ruhana wakes up as the sunrays fall on her face. She wakes up and finds that it's just 8 in the morning. She stretches herself in the bed. She hops down the bed and moves into the washroom to do her morning chores and get ready for the day.

As she gets ready, she thinks about the incident of the other day when she met Vineet. They had an argument, yet, when they left the restaurant, he had passes a smile to Ruhana. They might have argues but she smiles thinking of that incident.

She shakes her head and then heads out of that room. She finds her dad having his morning tea. Her mom is in the kitchen and she could smell the sweet fragrance of pancakes and coffee. She hugs her dad and wishes him for the day and meanwhile, her mom comes out holding the tray consisting of coffee and pancakes. She serves coffee to Ruhana. She's having the pancakes when her mobile rings. She picks up the call and it's her friend Aadhya. Ruhana chuckles at the news she gets from Aadhya.

"Are you serious?" She asks over the phone.

"Woah! That's a prompt response. Maine toh socha hi nahi tha ki ek din mein response aayega. It's our hard work. I am pleased." She says.

"Yeah, let's meet at the office in an hour. Main papa ko Hotel Blue Moon drop kar ke tumhare paas aati hoon." Ruhana says and disconnects the call.

"Kya hogaya jo meri bachi itni khush ho gayi?" Sandhya asks.

"Mumma, maine aur Aadhya ne ek tender bhara tha with a fashion company. Wo approve ho gaya hai. We might have to go to New York for the same." Ruhana tells happily.

"Ye toh bahut achi baat hai beta!" Ronit says softly.

"Yes, Dad! Ab toh bas unse meeting karni hai. Abhi main Aadhya se milungi." Ruhaana informs them.

"Great, all the best! Aur han, is project ko karlo, phir...." Sandhya says but Ruhana cuts her.

"Uh, Mom! Please ab aap shadi ki baat mat karo. I hate it." Ruhana makes a face.

"Par beta...." Sandhya begins to speak but Ronit cuts her.

"Sandhya ji! Maine aapse kaha na jaldbazi mat kijiye. Hamari bachi ke liye koi bahut acha rishta milega aur wo hamesha khush rahegi." he says.

"Han, Mom! Just wait and watch! Sab acha hoga. Ab main jaati hoon, Dad are you coming with me? Aapko Mr Abhay se milna tha naa?" She reminds him.

Ronit nods and he leaves with his daughter after getting ready. She drops him off by the hotel Blue Moon and reaches Aadhya's office. She reaches into the cabin and finds Aadhya busy on the call. She decides to wait and at the same time, her phone rings again. She attends the call and her expressions change upon hearing what the caller has to say.

To Be Continued.

Who's call did Ruhana receive?

Stay tuned.
