It's a small flat in the metro city called Bangalore. It is elegantly decorated, according to the tastes of the owner of the flat. A wall of the hall room is decorated with paintings and pictures. One wall of the lobby is acquainted with a large portrait of a young girl with her father. The very same girl is making coffee in the kitchen. She turns to move out of the kitchen calling for her father.

"Papa...."

But suddenly realization dawns on her. She can't find her father anywhere. She's all by herself here in Bangalore in this house. She is Ruhana Malhotra.

She has left her father back in Mumbai along with his love and son. A sad smile appears on her lips. She has left two important people in her life back in Mumbai. She has come here in Bangalore, so that she can push away the memories of her father, Anoop Malhotra and her love, Vineet Malhotra. But she finds herself amongst their memories everyday. There is not a single day when she doesn't miss her father and love. But, the decision is taken. She cannot step back. She can't go back and break the promise she made to Naina,Vineet's mother. Teardrops escape her eyes. She moves out of the kitchen holding her coffee mug. She keeps the mug on the table and touches the portrait that she has hung above the dining table. She has placed it on the dining table, so that she can feel her father's presence in the house. She smears her father's picture.

"I miss you Papa! I really do." she says in a teary voice.

She picks up her coffee mug and moves inside her room, where a wall is occupied with pictures. Some of the pictures are those which Anoop has clicked, when she was small. Some of them notify the fun both father and daughter used to have. Some of the pictures include Vineet. She even has a picture of Anoop and Vineet along with Naina. They are her family after all. She has come to Bangalore on a transfer, not because her job needed it, but because she wanted to be away from her father, Anoop Malhotra. She takes down the family picture, it has Anoop, Vineet and Naina. Yeah, Naina is the love of her father, whom he left for Ruhana. She considers herself as the reason that her father had to part with his love. Her eyes get teary instantly.

"I miss you papa, each and every day. Aap se hi toh main hoon. But, I'm happy. Ab naina aunty aur Vineet hai na aapke sath. Wo mujhse bhi zyada aapka khayal rakhenge. I know aap mujhse naraaz ho, lekin yahi sahi tha papa. Mere liye bhi aur aapke liye bhi. " she says tearily and hugs the picture. The tears she has been holding, rush out of her eyes.

Meanwhile, her phone rings and she rubs off her tears. She picks the call and agrees to reach the police station soonish. She places the picture back at its place and moves to get ready for the day.

Mumbai

It is noon, Vineet Malhotra returns home. His mother, Naina is surprised to see him home so early.

"Aaj tu itni jaldi aa gaya, Vineet ? Sab thik hai na? " she asks worriedly.

"Haan maa. Tum zara packing mein help kardo." he says.

"Kahan jana hai bete?" Anoop asks as he hears Vineet's voice.

"Papa, Bangalore jana hai ek case ke liye aur ek conference bhi hai. Senior officer hone ke naate mujhe jana padega. " he informs his parents.

Anoop nods his head in affirmation. Naina looks at Anoop.

"Kyun na hum bhi chale?" she asks.

"Maa, main kaam ke liye ja raha hoon." Vineet says.

He says a bit rudely, for he didn't want to take them anyway. But, it seems like his mother is in another mood.

"Wahan pe bhi apna ghar hai na! Tumhare dad ko bhi change mil jayega." Naina says while looking at her son.

Vineet can't deny his mother, and books flight tickets for the three of them. Anoop reluctantly agrees, for he didn't want to leave this house, since it has Ruhana's memories. But he agrees, maybe that'd made his son as happy as he was six months ago.

Same day, two hours later, the three of them leave for Bangalore. Vineet is lost in his own thoughts. He wants to search for his lady love, but it is not easy. He wanted some peaceful days in Bangalore, but his parents are accompanying him. He takes a deep sigh and leans backward in his seat. Whereas, Anoop is lost in his own thoughts. His condition is same as his son, the reason being one, Ruhana. For Anoop, she's his daughter, whom he brought up, while for Vineet, she's his love, without whom, he can't survive.

Will they ever meet each other?

Will Vineet and Ruhana meet?

Will Naina accept Ruhana?
