Ruhana meets Vineet in his cabin. She takes his signatures on the file and then looks at him. She needs to talk to him about accommodation. She takes a deep breath and looks at him again. She tells him that she's in dire need of a home but noone is ready to give one, even on rent, on a short notice. Vineet gazes at her.

"Please Mr. Khanna. I hope you'll help." she says.

Vineet looks at her. It seems like he's thinking something. Ruhana is anxious to know his answer. If he can't help, she'll have to see for a hostel or PG. Not getting any reply from him, Ruhana gets on her toes.

"That's fine. You can check and tell me by tomorrow. I read you'll help your employees, so I'm here seeking your help. But it's fine. I'll look for a hostel." she says and turns to leave the cabin.

" Right now, I don't have any quarters empty. But we have one building in making. You'll get a flat from the company. Until then, you can stay at my place. Or you can search for a new home while you stay." Vineet says.

Ruhana is shocked and surprised at the same time. He's asking her to stay at his home. But why? She's just a mere employee. She looks at him grasping his words.

" At your home? But... " she says but he cuts her.

" You need it immediately, right? Than this is the best I can give you Miss Ruhana. Lest, your wish." He says seriously.

Ruhana is thoughtful. She doesn't know if she should take his offer. He gives her a card which has the address of his home. He also adds that she can shift by the weekend, if she wishes to. Ruhana nods and leaves the cabin, thanking him.

*****

Ruhana is on her way home. She's thinking about Vineet, and his proposal. She doesn't know him, yet his words seem genuine. Should she take his offer or deny it? But then, there's no one to offer her a place to stay. Amongst all the thoughts, she reaches home and relaxes for a bit. She prepares coffee for herself, but her mind is wandering on Vineet's words.

"You can stay at my place, until you find an accommodation. "

" You can come home, lest your wish!"

She sighs and finally decides to move to his house temporarily, until she finds a place to live. She won't stay there for long, she decides.
So forth, she packs her bags and decides to shift in Vineet's home. She also calls her friend, who's a property dealer to tell her if there is any home on rent. She feels better aftermath.

*****
A week passes in a blur. Ruhana reaches Khanna Mansion. She finds a watchman on the main gate who takes her luggage. She pays the cab driver and moves inside the house. She meets Vineet.

"Thanks for all the help." she says.

"it's fine. Well, the maid will show you your room. Feel home." he says.

Ruhana manages to nod in affirmation. After explaining something to the maid, he moves upstairs. Ruhana looks around. It's not just a house, it's a palace. A royal palace. Everything inside the house is elegantly decorated. It's opposite of his taste, she thinks, but it is beautiful. The maid servant breaks her trance and shows her the way towards her room.

"Mr. Vineet lives alone?" she asks the maid, who nods in response.

"Seems so. Anyway, don't worry. I'm here only for a while." Ruhana says as the maid opens the door to the room.

It's a beautiful room with a comfy bed, stylish almirahs and couches at place. She smiles to herself. The maid keeps her luggage in a corner and looks at her. Ruhana senses that she wants to say something, so she gestures her to speak.

"I have a request." she says hesitantly.

"What? Is there any rule?" Ruhana asks.

"Please don't go on first floor. If you need anything, I'll get it for you. But, you don't go there." the maid replies.

"Why? Vineet's room is also up stairs, right?". Ruhana asks.

"Yes! But you seem so sweet and kind. That's why, I'm telling you to not go on first floor. Please Ma'am." she says.

Ruhana feels weird but agrees. Maybe, Vineet doesn't like anyone therein. She promises the maid that she won't go upstairs and asks her to get a cup of tea. The maid agrees and leaves while Ruhana is thoughtful. But she chides off her thoughts and settles her bags, she has to stay here until she finds some good accommodation.

Ruhana gets accustomed to the surroundings and begins to go to the office as well. But one day, she's alone in the mansion, Vineet isn't home yet. After having dinner, and after having a walk , as she's walking to her room, she hears a few meek sounds. As she moves towards the sounds, she's shocked to see a pretty girl. The girl hugs her immediately and says something that leaves her shocked.

To Be Continued.

What did the girl say?

Who's she?

Stay tuned.
