|#12. Together Again|
Vineet and Ruhana meet at the police station and finish the paperwork of the case they have finished. After finishing the work Vineet thanks Ruhana for agreeing to Naina as his mother has told everything to him. Ruhana smiles at Vineet. She kisses his knuckles.
"Maine kaha tha na Vineet, jis din Naina aunty mujhe apna legi main wapas aaungi. Ab unhone mujhe accept karliya.. Ab sab acha hoga." She says
"Haan. Main khush hoon, maa ne tumhe samjha! Aur unhe apni galti ka ehsas hua. " Vineet says, squeezing her hands a little.
Meanwhile Vikrant joins them and keeps an envelope in Ruhana’s hand. He mocks at her.
"Jao senorita, jee lo apni zindagi. Ghar pe ja ke kholna." Vikrant says teasingly.
The three friends share a laughter and leave to go to Vineet’s home. Vikrant joins them too, as Vineet asks him to join. Upon reaching home, they are welcomed by Anoop and Naina. Ruhana hugsAnoop tightly while he kisses her forehead lovingly.
"Uncle, ab aap isey le ja sakte hain. Aur ispe zara nazar rakhiyega. Pagli ladki hai, kuch bhi kar sakti hai." Vikrant says teasingly earning a slap from Ruhana.
"Shut up! Kuch zyada bol rahe ho!" She glares at him.
"Sach toh bola usne!" Vineet murmurs while looking at her.
"Han han, tum toh aisa hi bologe. Shuru se ulte kaam tum karte ho! Tumhari wajahse na…." Ruhana says but Vineet cuts her.
“Han, meri wajah se hi tumhe mujhse pyaar hua! Batao, ladki ko patao bhi aur phir pyar realise bhi karvao, kya din aaye hain?” Vineet teases her while she throws a cushion at Ruhana.
" Arey toh senior alltime gussa karegi toh Vineet bechara kya karta?” Vikrant speaks for Vineet earning a cushion on his face.
"Koi baat nahi! Ab tum senior banne ke fayde lena." Vikrant says and looks at Vineet.
Ruhana opens the envelope as Vikrant asks her to. Vineet takes the paper from Ruhana’s hand and is surprised to learn that he’s promoted as a DCP at the Mumbai headquarters. It is the result of the case they have just solved. Adding to it, Ruhana is transferred to Mumbai as ACP under Vineet. He also received a call from his boss.
Vineet is happy, he takes his parents’ blessings and hugs Ruhana as well.
Ruhana is equally surprised but seeing her father's smile, she knows that he must have requested this transfer. She hugs her dad apologising for another time. Anoop comforts her saying that everything will be fine.
"Hume mumbai jana chahiye. Vineet aur Ruhana ki shadi ki taiyari bhi toh karni hai" Naina says while looking at both Ruhana and Vineet.
"Sach mein!" Ruhana asks.
"Jo bhul hui mujhse wo toh sudharni padegi na beta. Tune wo sab kiya jo tujhe nahi karna chahiye tha. Ab main tujhe wo sab lautaungi. " Naina says patting Ruhana’s cheek and the latter hugs her.
Ruhana hugs her mouthing a word of gratitude. They gear up to move to Mumbai. Ruhana seeks time to pack her things and return to Mumbai in a week. Anoop agrees and he leaves for Mumbai with Naina and Vineet.
*****
One week later, Ruhana reaches home. The house is beautifully decorated. She rings the doorbell and Naina welcomed him in. Ruhana is happy and touched at the moment.
"Acha hua tu aa gayi. Ab ye ghar fir se ghar ban jayega." Naina says, kissing her forehead.
"Bilkul sahi kaha tumne, naina. Is ghar mein jaan aa gyi hai." Anoop says stroking Ruhana’s hair.
"usko yahan rokne ke liye bhi kuch karna padega na papa." Vineet says naughtily.
"Han karvate hai beta. Tujhe kyun jaldi hai?" Naina asks, knowing what his son is pointing to.
"Kya pata aapki bahu ka dimag fir gaya toh?" Vineet says shrugging her shoulders.
Ruhana glares at him and begin to slap his chest, but he holds her hands and pulls her in a hug. She gives up wrapping her arms around his neck. He whispers thank you in her ears. They part the hug. Ruhana looks at Vineet.
"I'm sorry!" she says, apologising again.
"You should be!" he says, adorning his serious mode.
"Ab aisa nahi hoga, I promise! Maaf kardo na." Ruhana says, and points towards her forehead.
Vineet smiles and cups her face, kissing on her head. She closes her eyes to feel the moment while Anoop and Naina watch them with smiles on their faces. Their family is now surely complete.
Naina looks at Vineet and Ruhana and asks them to get ready as it would be their wedding day. Ruhana rushes to her room only to find it intact, just her photograph with Anoop is lying on the bed. She knows he must have spent his time here in her room. Also, she finds some photographs added on the wall — her pictures Vineet, and with her father too. Vineet follows her and hugs her from her waist. She keeps her hands on his hands and tilts her neck on his shoulder.
"I'm glad to be back." she says and kisse shis cheek.
"And I'm happy that my life is back to me. Ab sab acha hoga, Ruhana." he says.
Ruhana nods her head in affirmation and touches her forehead with his.
"Tum ho, papa hai, aur ab mujhe meri maa bhi mil gayi. Ab sab acha hoga." Ruhana says and kisses his head.
Meanwhile, they hear Naina calling them. Ruhana changes into a traditional dress as commanded by Naina. She moves down and finds a photographer in the house. Naina pulls her to herself.
"Ab sab acha hoga beta. Let's click some pictures." she says and makes her sit on the couch.
And they happily posed for family pictures before heading for the wedding venue. Life is going to be happier now.
To Be Continued.
