Evening time..

Ruhana and Anamika were in the mall. They had to buy a laptop for Anamika and some other things for Ruhana's journey. Anamika was upset again knowing that her sister will be away from her for 15 days!!

They were in an electronic items shop, Ruhana was checking the laptop which the salesman had shown to her while Anamika was standing gloomily.

When Ruhana was fully satisfied with the laptop she ask the guy to pack it properly and turn to Anamika,

"lo, le liya laptop" she says smiling at her but receives a glare from her side.

"Arey, aab kya hua tujhe" Ruhana asked, making a face.

"ek toh aap jaa rahe ho, fir puchte ho kya hua. Huhhhh, I'm sad aur gussa bhi hoon" she retorted. 

Ruhana pulls her cheek, "ooho meri Miss grumpy. Aaj subha se gussa hi kar rahi hai tu bas, aab toh shant ho jaa" she says. 

"aise kaise gussa na karu, aachanak se aap London jaa rahe ho wo bhi 15 din ke liye. Gussa na aayega toh aur kya aayega" Anamika exclaims, crossing her arms around her chest making an irate face. 

Ruhana was about to reply when the guy brought their laptop. Ruhana paid the bill and the girls left the shop collecting the laptop. 

Ruhana slipped her arms around Anamika's shoulder, "aise sad kyun hoti hai, 15 din ki hi toh baat hai yun beet jaayenge aur fir main roj call karungi na tujhe. Aab kaam nahi hota toh main jaati bhi nahi, Wo toh Dad ko bhi yahan important kaam hai issliye wo nahi jaa sakte. Lekin aab tu aise karegi toh main jayungi kaise, please mood thik kar le" Ruhana reasoned making a puppy face, Anamika tended to think and then shook her head. 

" okay.. Lekin bas 15 din, uss se jyada nahi "she warns her elder sister who giggles in reply. 

" Okayy boss! "Ruhana says, glancing at her and the girls broke out in laughter. 

Moving from there, they bought some other essential things that Ruhana would need in the journey and in London as well. Soon they were done with their shopping. 

Leaving the mall, they thought to have Dinner in their favourite restaurant. Anamika beams with joy by the idea, Ruhana smiles at her excitement finally after a long day she was laughing wholeheartedly. 

Ruhana wonders what will happen behind her in a week when she will be in London. Her father and sister always fall in a banter that sometimes turns serious like today. 

Well, Anamika wasn't like this before, she had a good bond with their parents but after that incident took place, her idea for their father differs. She started to blame him for every misconception that happened in her life and their mother, who is short-tempered, ended up scolding her or sometimes slapping her. Though, Ruhana had tried many times to make her mother understand that scolding or slapping is not a solution but she ended up doing that only which creates more bitterness in Anamika's heart for them. 

Ruhana came out of her trance with Anamika's voice who nudged her and asked her to drive. Ruhana realises that they are still in the parking lot of the Mall. 

Taking a deep breath, she ignited the engine and drove to their home. 

The journey to home was of 30 minutes, Anamika was the one talking all the time while Ruhana was still lost in her thoughts. She really needs to talk to her parents and Anamika before she leaves. 

Ruhana sighs deeply and applies break reaching upon home. Anamika jumps out of the car carrying some shopping bags, Ruhana follows her smiling collecting the left over bags. 

When the girls enter the house they find their parents having their evening tea. Anamika beams to her parents and shows her new laptop to them, it seems her anger has melted now she has forgotten the morning incident. 

Anil gazed at Ruhana who was by now sitting on the single couch staring at them, he mouthed a thank you to her at which she smiled lightly and assured him that everything will be fine. 

Meanwhile Anamika cracked the news that they will be having dinner at their favourite Restaurant so they need to do packing for Ruhana now only then they can enjoy their meal peacefully. She instructed her mother to arrange everything. 

"Haan, meri dadi Amma main kar dungi sab. Tum dono jao, fresh ho jao" Shakshi says such that the other three chuckled. 

Ruhana asks Anamika to come along with her. The sisters move to Ruhana's room and they get fresh. 

Anamika was standing near the mirror trying out some blazers of her sister, checking if it's looks good on her or not. 

Well, she always does this whenever they plan to go out. The first thing that she does is checking out Ruhana's clothes as she has a good collection of blazers and Anamika loves them all so she selects one that would fit with her dress. 

Anamika pulled out a baby pink colour blazer and slipped into it when Ruhana came out of the washroom. She found Anamika checking herself in the mirror. She moved towards her and hugged her from behind. 

"aachi laag rahi hai '' Ruhana says, that forms a smile on Anamika's face. 

Ruhana never stops her from touching her things or taking them. 

"sachchi" Anamika asks. 

Ruhana makes her turn, "Haanji! Iske saath apna white wala top aur skirt pehenna. Suit karega" she patted her cheek, Anamika chuckled. 

"thik hai fir, isko main apne room mei rakh ke aati hoon. Uske badha aapki help kar dungi packing mei '' Anamika says and turns to go but Ruhana holds her hand. 

"I need to talk to you!" Ruhana exclaims. 

Anamika turns to her questionably, Ruhana pulls her to the bed and makes her sit. She herself settled beside her and held her hand. 

"Dekh Ana, aaj raat ko main chali jayungi aur 15 din wahin rehne wali hoon. Lekin mujhe bahut tension ho rahi hai, tu jaanti hai kyun?" Ruhana gazed at her with a questioning look. 

Anamika shook her head affirmatively, "kyunki meri behes ho jaati hai papa se issliye. Lekin aap tension na lo aaram se jao, I promise main nahi ladungi unse wo kuch bolenge toh bhi na bolungi" she exclaims determinatively, Ruhana was surprised but pecked her head for she knows Anamika won't break her promise. 

She asks Anamika to get ready while she packs her bag and if she wants she can help after she gets ready. Anamika nodded and ran to her room. Ruhana watches her going and takes a deep breath hoping everything will go smoothly behind her!!!
